 LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

   SJR 5, Nguyen. Vietnam: humanitarian resettlement.

   This measure would urge Congress and the President of the United

States to expand the Humanitarian Resettlement Program to allow

disabled veteran officers of the South Vietnamese Army currently

living in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to enter the United

States.

   WHEREAS, The Vietnamese-American community plays an important role

in the social, cultural, and economic landscape of the State of

California and the United States; and

   WHEREAS, The United States government and the American people have

a commitment to assisting individuals that fought as allies in the

Vietnam War and continue to face persecution and threats from the

Communist government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam; and

   WHEREAS, The veterans of the South Vietnamese Army, also known as

the Qu[n L?c Vi?t Nam C?ng H�a, showed their commitment to the United

States by fighting alongside the United States Armed Forces during

the Vietnam War; and

   WHEREAS, The Humanitarian Resettlement Program and the Orderly

Departure Program have allowed for the resettlement to the United

States of former reeducation center detainees, former Vietnamese

employees of the United States government, and former Vietnamese

employees of private American companies and organizations prior to

April 30, 1975, and from 1997 to 2009, inclusive, sons and daughters

of former Vietnamese were included in what became known as the McCain

Amendment; and

   WHEREAS, Disabled veterans of the South Vietnamese Army, also

known as the Qu[n L?c Vi?t Nam C?ng H�a, have suffered a lifetime of

great challenges and discrimination. Yet, some disabled veterans were

excluded from the Humanitarian Resettlement Program and the Orderly

Departure Program because they were not detained in reeducation camps

for the requisite number of years due to their physical

disabilities; and

   WHEREAS, April 30, 2015, marks the 40th year since the Fall of

Saigon; and

   WHEREAS, Promoting the Humanitarian Resettlement Program and the

Orderly Departure Program to include disabled veterans of the South

Vietnamese Army, also known as the Qu[n L?c Vi?t Nam C?ng H�a, and

their sons and daughters, would rightfully bring these veterans and

their families into programs that, by their terms, excluded some

disabled veterans; now, therefore, be it

   Resolved by the Senate and the Assembly of the State of

California, jointly, That the Legislature respectfully urges the

President and the Vice President of the United States and the United

States Congress to reauthorize the Humanitarian Resettlement Program

and the Orderly Departure Program to allow disabled veterans of the

South Vietnamese Army and their families currently living in the

Socialist Republic of Vietnam to apply to enter the United States;

and be it further

   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this

resolution to the President and the Vice President of the United

States, to the Majority Leader of the Senate, to the Speaker of the

House of Representatives, and to each Senator and Representative from

California in the Congress of the United States, and to the author

for appropriate distribution.
