Smith Airport FOR THE PRESIDENT SUBJECT: PRESIDENTIAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REFUGEES VISIT TO FT. CHAFFEE. AKRANSAS, MAY 20, 1975. Annually GERALD R. FORM The Advisory Committee visited Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas, to observe first hand the accommodations and the processing systems established at that relocation center, which is currently handling approximately 24,000 Vietnamese refugees. The Committee was accompanied by Ambassador L. Dean Brown and other representatives of the Interagency Task Force. All were impressed by the close cooperation between the local Interagency Task Force officials and the supporting Army contingent. In addition, the voluntary assistance of the surrounding Arkansas community was very much in evidence, due largely, in our opinion, to strenuous public relations efforts on the part of the civilian coordinator, Mr. Donald MacDonald. This refugee resettlement center has defined its tasks as three-fold: (a) to receive and process the Vietnamese refugees, (b) to run a small city, population 24,000, and (c) to facilitate the careful placement of refugees throughout the United States. Since the beginning of May 25,814 people have arrived, mostly from South Vietnam. All have undergone initial processing, and 18,500 have completed processing to the point where they can leave as soon as sponsors are found. Approximately 2,500 have come and gone. Commitments for over 6,000 additional placements have been made. The Advisory Committee observed refugees going through the various administrative stages which include preliminary processing, medical evaluation, immigration and naturalization screening, social security registration, social rehabilitation services, security clearance from INS, and the departure services provided by HEW. These administrative activities appear to be proceeding in an efficient, well-organized manner. The security clearance delays experienced at first are now being diminished as the computerized refugee records become more available. Through the cooperation of the Task Force and Army personnel the administration of this "city" encompasses all the usual aspects of community management. The refugees participate actively. To maintain local government, each of the 236 barracks have elected a representative to a council, which has in turn elected a Vietnamese "mayor." The mayor meets with the council each evening, and a subcommittee structure has been formed to work closely with the voluntary agencies. The Education Committee has been allocated sixteen buildings for schools. Presently over 200 classes are being conducted each day, enrolling 7,000 children. This school system is being run by the Southern Baptist Conference and includes Vietnamese and American teachers. It ranks as the sixth largest school system in the state of Arkansas. The morale and participation of refugee volunteers is exceptional, some of whom are Vietnamese-Americans, United States residents for as long as sixteen years. A newspaper in the Vietnamese language is circulated daily, and a local civilian radio station is providing a fifteen minute daily broadcast in Vietnamese. Subject matter encompasses news of the world, stressing those items of particular importance to the people in the center. No major crime problem has occurred; even small misdemeanors requiring action have been rare. Although the reception of refugees and the administration of the "city" are proceeding in admirable fashion, the ultimate task, that of placement, is only beginning. This function is a primary responsibility of ten major American voluntary agencies (VOLAGs), which historically have facilitated resettlement of millions of displaced persons. (See attached list.) These voluntary agencies are under preliminary contract with the Federal Government. The dedication and expertise of the VOLAGs are impressive. They stress that the primary criteria for placement in an American community are the impact on that community, the quality of the individual sponsors, and the availability of jobs. The Employment Service of the Department of Labor will provide ten specialists to work with the VOLAGs in an effort to avoid placement of individuals in communities with extraordinarily high unemployment rates. Further, they will endeavor to correlate the skills of the refugees with the local situation. Careful screening of sponsors, through the network of community volunteer agencies, is a critical activity. The Advisory Committee asked the local officials how we could best assist in this effort. The consensus was that we could (a) help to educate the civic clubs throughout the United States regarding the requirements for sponsorship and (b) identify the local participating voluntary agencies for channeling the legitimate requests for sponsorship. It was also suggested that the Advisory Committee become well acquainted with the roles and problems of the volunteer agencies. (A useful meeting of the VOLAG representatives with Committee and White House Staff has already been held.) Although resettlement is primarily a local function, the Committee must make every possible effort to help shorten the time of encampment for the refugees. -2- No delay in their assimilation into the American community can be tolerated. Those refugees who wish to return to Vietnam are beginning to come forward, and all have been assured that return is indeed possible in accord with existing international procedures. The one hundred refugees who are interested in returning to Vietnam from Fort Chaffee are predominantly men wishing to rejoin their families. After reviewing this refugee resettlement center we believe that the proper mechanisms have been set in motion. Within a remarkably short time the personal welfare of the refugees is being well attended to. Their natural anxieties are being abated as they learn that we do indeed have a place for them in our society and that all concerned are working in their best long term interest. Their confidence is being enhanced by their own participation in the administrative and governing processes. Under your leadership the efforts of this Committee, of the Interagency Task Force, and of the voluntary agencies will hopefully dispel public misconceptions and apprehensions regarding acceptance of refugees in our society. We will also be addressing some-of the longer term problems with a view to determining counter measures. -3- R. GERALD FORD May 20, 1975 LIBRARY Notes from Visit to Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas - Refugee Resettlement Center Mr. Donald G. Macdonald, Senior Civil Coordinator, briefed the group, as follows: The resettlement center's major tasks are (1) to receive the Vietnamese refugees, (2) to run a city, and (3) to place the 24,000 refugees. He is very dependent on the volunteer agencies. A total of 25,814 refugees have arrived and have had initial processing. 18,500 have completed processing. 2,435 have been released to sponsors. 6,035 placements have been accomplished. The processing procedure was explained - preliminary processing, medical processing, INS, SSA, Social Rehabilitation Service, INS final processing, and HEW departure services. Questions and Answers - Q - What problems have arisen? A - We are receiving vast numbers and we make the mistake of thinking we are running an Indianapolis Speedway Race. We must pace ourselves in our efforts to do a good job. We have gone all out to support the Voluntary Agencies. The quality of the Voluntary Agencies work has been very high. Only one family has been returned to the center after having been placed. I anticipate a log jam - more people ready to leave than we have capacity to move them out. We have a Judiciary Task Force of Federal, State and Local people to handle any breach of the law. D - One of the functions of this Committee is to advise the President. Can you go into that approach to this? This Committee needs to know what problems can be approached at the Presidential level and at the Departmental level where the President can give direction. A - The people have been encouraged by the President's speech and by Mr. Meany's speech. There are two major groups - (1) We brought out a group of people who are professional, middle class, highly schooled, of which 60% speak English. (2) The people who fled - farmers, fishermen - no skills which will serve them well. May 20, 1975 Notes from Visit to Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas - Refugee Resettlement Center Mr. Donald G.

Questions and Answers . 2 Q- - What problems have arisen? A . We are receiving vast numbers and we make the mistake of thinking we are running an Indianapolis Speedway Race. We must pace curselves in our efforts to do a good job. We have gone all out to support the Voluntary Agencies. The quality of the Voluntary Agencies work has been very high. Only one family has been returned to the center after having been placed. I anticipate a log jam - more people ready to leave than we have capacity to move them out. We have a Judislary Task Force of Federal, State and Local people to handle any breach of the law. Q - One of the functions of this Committee is to advise the President. Can you go into that approach to this? This Committee needs to know what problems can be approached at the Presidential level and at the Departmental level where the President can give direction. A - The people have been encouraged by the President's speech and by Mr. Meany's speech. There are two major groups - (1) We brought out a group of people who are professional, middle class, highly schooled, of which 60% speak English. (2) The people who fled - farmers, fishermen . no skills which will serve them well. - 2 - Would advise the President to be cautious in reviewing recommenda- tions for long term eneampment. We need to move them and not let them stagnate - they need to be trained and acclimated. The refugees have developed their own bureauracy. Elections have been held in 236 barracks in which they live. They have a Mayor, Mr. Waugh, who meets in council with the barracks leaders several times a week. They have formed Committees fire warden, food, recreation, education - and these committees work closely with the Voluntary Agencies in providing city services. The Education Committee has 16 buildings set aside for school and 234 classes per day are now conducted. There are over 7,000 children going to school which is run by the Southern Baptist Conference. Q - Do you anticipate Group (1) being retained at the center to help Group (2)? A - We are thinking about it. Q - What about students who want to remain in the United States? A - They are emotional and apprehensive don't know what lies ahead. The word is getting through to them that we do have a place for them - that there is a system that works. A large group of university graduates have organized themselves and are working with the Volunteer Agencies and the people in the camp. There is a daily broadcase in the Vietnamese language - 15 minutes - to inform them of the news. There is also a Vietnamese language newspaper. This is being enlarged to include news as to where people are going - where the relocations are taking place. Q- Do you have any Cambodians? A - - A few - a half dosen or so. Q - Have you any feel of what Arkansas's response to this will be in terms of availability of jobs? A- The speed of the encampment was so great that there was no time to prepare the community. There has been lack of knowledge and apprehension. They feared for the health of the American people. They held a town meeting which threatened to become a demonstration. Then one man reminded them of our heritage they all joined in applause and the problem was dispelled. But it was a very tense meeting. The problem was met by speeding up the information about the camp, and telling the truth about the situation. - 3 - & Do many of them want to go back to Vietnam? A- We have 99 who have asked to return. Almost all are married and want to return to families. These apparently are in no danger. Q- How do you decide who goes where? Some concern has been expressed about concentrations in certain locations. A- Definite guidelines are applied. Some go to relatives and close friends. We work with the Voluntary Agencies and Department of Labor concerning areas where jobs are available. Would encourage widespread locations throughout the country. Would not deliberately cluster the people together. They tend to cluster at first and then to spread out. & What about the Voluntary Agencies ability to take the growing numbers? A- There is no problem in getting sponsors, No difficulty in handling additional people. The system of the Voluntary Agencies is very professional. Questions and Answers Following a Tour of the Base Q- Define the problem of people who want to go to a third country - people going to France, Canada, etc. How could the Voluntary Agencies help in this? A- Some of these procedures haven't been worked out, but we will help them. & What can this Committee do for you? A- In advising the President and informing the American public, this Committee could set the tone for public acceptance. Q- What about the ability to find people in other camps, A. There is no problem here in the U.S. The problem is on Guam and Wake. & What is the procedure for approving sponsors? A- The Voluntary AGencies determine the quality of the sponsors offer at the source. The sponsor is locally appraised and evaluated. Velma H. Shelton May 20, 1975 LIBRARY GERALD R.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 2, 1975 LIBRARY GERALD ? FORD MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT JSDE FROM: JOHN S. D. EISENHOWER SUBJECT: Presidential Advisory Committee on Refugees Visit to Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas, May 20, 1975. The Advisory Committee visited Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas, to observe first hand the accommodations and the processing systems established at that relocation center, which is currently handling approximately 24,000 Vietnamese refugees. The Committee was accompanied by Ambassador L. Dean Brown and other representatives of the Interagency Task Force. All were impressed by the close cooperation between the local Interagency Task Force officials and the supporting Army contingent. In addition, the voluntary assistance of the surrounding Arkansas community was very much in evidence, due largely, in our opinion, to strenuous public relations efforts on the part of the civilian coordinator, Mr. Donald MacDonald. This refugee resettlement center has defined its tasks as three-fold: (a) to receive and process the Vietnamese refugees, (b) to run a small city, population 24,000, and (c) to facilitate the careful placement of refugees throughout the United States. Since the beginning of May, 25,814 people have arrived, mostly from South Vietnam. All have undergone initial processing, and 18,500 have completed processing to the point where they can leave as soon as sponsors are found. Approximately 2,500 have come and gone. Commitments for over 6,000 additional placements have been made. 2 The Advisory Committee observed refugees going through the various administrative stages which include preliminary processing, medical evaluation, immigration and naturali- zation screening, social security registration, social rehabilitation services, security clearance from INS, and the departure services provided by HEW. We were advised that these administrative activities are proceeding in an efficient, well-organized manner. The security clearance delays experienced at first are now being diminished as the computerized refugee records become more available. Through the cooperation of the Task Force and Army personnel the administration of this "city" encompasses all the usual aspects of community management. The refugees participate actively. To maintain local government, each of the 236 barracks have elected a representative to a council, which has in turn elected a Vietnamese "mayor." The mayor meets with the council each evening, and a sub- committee structure has been formed to work closely with the voluntary agencies. The Education Committee has been allocated sixteen buildings for schools. Presently over 200 classes are being conducted each day, enrolling 7,000 children. This school system is being run by the Southern Baptist Conference and includes Vietnamese and American teachers. It ranks as the sixth largest school system in the State of Arkansas. The morale and participation of refugee volunteers is exceptional, some of whom are Vietnamese-Americans, United States residents for as long as sixteen years. A newspaper in the Vietnamese language is circulated daily, and a local civilian radio station is providing a fifteen minute daily broadcast in Vietnamese. Subject matter encompasses news of the world, stressing those items of particular importance to the people in the center. No major crime problem has occurred; even small misdemeanors requiring action have been rare. Although the reception of refugees and the administration of the "city" are proceeding in admirable fashion, the ultimate task, that of placement, is only beginning. Thisford GERALD LIBRARY 3 function is a primary responsibility of ten major American voluntary agencies (VOLAGs), which historically have facilitated resettlement of millions of displaced persons. (See attached list.) These voluntary agencies are under preliminary contract with the Federal Government. The voluntary agencies are in operation. They stress that the primary criteria for placement in an American community are the impact on that community, the quality of the individual sponsors, and the availability of jobs. The Employment Service of the Department of Labor will provide ten specialists to work with the VOLAGs in an effort to avoid placement of individuals in communities with extraordinarily high unemployment rates. Further, they will endeavor to correlate the skills of the refugees with the local situation. Careful screening of sponsors, through the network of community volunteer agencies, is a critical activity. The Advisory Committee asked the local officials how we could best assist in this effort. The consensus was that we could (a) help to educate the civic clubs throughout the United States regarding the requirements for sponsorship and (b) identify the local participating voluntary agencies for channeling the legitimate requests for sponsorship. It was also suggested that the Advisory Committee become well acquainted with the roles and problems of the volunteer agencies. (A useful meeting of the VOLAG representatives with Committee and White House Staff has already been held and future meetings scheduled.) Although resettlement is primarily a local function, the Committee must make every possible effort to help shorten the time of encampment for the refugees. No delay in their assimilation into the American community can be tolerated. Those refugees who wish to return to Vietnam are beginning to come forward, and all have been assured that return is indeed possible in accord with existing international procedures. The one hundred refugees who are interested in returning to Vietnam from Fort Chaffee are predominantly men wishing to rejoin their families. FORD & LIBRARY 4 After reviewing this refugee resettlement center we believe that the proper mechanisms have been set in motion and there is accumulating evidence that progress is taking place. Within a remarkably short time the personal welfare of the refugees is being well attended to. Their natural anxieties are being abated as they learn that we do indeed have a place for them in our society and that all concerned are working in their best long term interest. Their confidence is being enhanced by their own participation in the administrative and governing processes. Under your leadership the efforts of this Committee, of the Interagency Task Force, and of the voluntary agencies will hopefully dispel public misconceptions and apprehensions regarding acceptance of refugees in our society. We will also be addressing some of the longer term problems with a view to determining preventive measures. FORD & LIBRARY THE MAJOR RESETTLEMENT AGENCIES U. S.
