the initial battles we had were very much biased against the vietnamese. the south vietnamese. they were losers, they were asians who wouldn't adjust to this country, we had to wrestle with congress to get any authority and that is why it didn't come until april 15, perhaps, of that year. we had no authority with any vietnamese. finally we got it and things began to happen. that was the biggest single reason that we didn't have a program until the end is that congress didn't care. thank you. [applause] >> give me about 30 seconds to clarify something. frank said that it was ridiculous more absurd when i said that congress was the villain, because they cut off aid. they did cut off aid. i worked in the senate during the final years. listened as the executive branch begged us from many. somebody in the pentagon may have said we don't have any more money, with the official request from the president was we need more money and more importantly, we didn't mention in 1973, congress passed a law making it illegal for u.s. troops to come back in any way to help. that totally undermined

it's because of my love for the vietnamese people. what i found to be disconcerting -- and i have a couple of vietnamese phd students who are doing research on the role of the arvin in terms of their relationship to the americans. one student of mine, her particular thesis is, the closer you worked with them, the more respect you had for them. what we found mostly is that the rumor mill being that a lot of american soldiers, by virtue of them being there only for one year, they heard about the arvins performance in a particular battle but they were not really there to witness it. so rumors started spreading about the cowardice, how they so this particular student of mine is trying to really research some of those battles where the arvn took place and things i cover each in cedar falls in junction city and several of the operations where they were actively involved with american soldiers. to kind of see if we can work our way through the myths that exist. they did as good a job as you can expect them to do under the circumstances. a lo

i've worked with asian law caucus, particularly len san who was vietnamese interpreter and we went outto the oakland salons. even the owners were on board and would actually educate their clientele as to alternatives to acrylic nails. they're the most toxic substances. i think we also need to have education in the early years. girls in elementary schools, the sexy names, well i don't know if i should say the name of the brand but they come up with sexy names of the nail polish and that attracts girls. a lot of people would be really surprised that many of these substances are banned in europe. and so i think this takes even a global approach, a u.n. approach. these are american companies that were forced to remove the particular substances to those products marketed in europe. we know it can be done. there's also, i believe the website is still up. it's called skin deep. it offers alternatives for women. a lot of times if there are not alternatives, people will continue to buy the very toxic substances and for the moms out there, newborn babies are born with over 200 foreign chemicals
