A Nation Like No Other, by Speaker Newt Gingrich: on Foreign Policy


Gerald Ford: 1975: organized emergency military evacuation from Vietnam

In the southeast Asian refugee crisis of 1975, with the fall of south Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos to the Communists, millions of those nations' citizens fled their new dictatorships. Rising to the occasion, Pres. Gerald Ford organized an emergency military effort to evacuate refugees to the US. American civil society also answered the call, assisting refugees' resettlement in countless ways. Churches, synagogues, military families, and civic groups petitioned to sponsor evacuees, while the non-profit International Rescue Committee coordinated the effort. Within the days of their arrival on American shores, refugees were placed with sponsors throughout the nation. Generous and capable, American civil society helped to cultivate new and proud Americans. One of these refugees, Joseph Cao, recently represented New Orleans in the U.S. Congress.
