Excerpt from Report to the Congress: Indochinese Refugee Assistance Program; December 31, 1978 The refugees, from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, on the whole, are doing well in their new land: More are developing marketable job skills, learning English, finding better jobs, and attaining self-sufficiency. Reports indicate that some refugees are buying homes; some are opening their own businesses. Many have joined together to help their fellow refugees. They are adjusting their status to permanent resident alien in preparation for u.s. Citizenship. The continued flow of new refugees from the countries of Indochina, however, has prompted the need for ongoing assistance from government at all levels, as well as the voluntary resettlement agencies, sponsors, and communities. Each new refugee faces immense challenges in seeking refuge from oppression in Indochina and in endeavoring to build a new life, in freedom, in the United States.
