Ford proposes $507 million refugee aid program
President Ford proposes a sweeping $507 million aid plan to care for South Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees through mid-1976. The measure, open ended, envisions up to 150,000 refugees with no spending ceiling and would extend parole authority to 20,000 more refugees if needed. The plan emphasizes humanitarian aid, settlement nationwide, and avoidance of extra costs on hard pressed states.
