WASHINGTON, July 5 — President Carter has ordered American ships to pickup refugees who have fled Indochina in boats and will allow the refugees to resettle in the United States if they wish, a high‐ranking State Department official said today.
“They will be treated on a case‐by‐case basis to determine where they wish to go,” said the official, who asked not'to be identified. “The Immigration and Naturalization Service will expedite their travel to their destinations, including, where they so choose, to the United States.”
The official said an announcement of the President's decision could be expected shortly.
The decision will affect any American carrier or any ship with United States registry, many of which have been refusing to pick up refugees to avoid difficulties at their next ports of call, the official said.
The official indicated that the decision was prompted by an abrupt rise in May and June in the number of the so‐called “boat people” who have arrived in Asian ports, mainly in Thailand and Malaysia, and in Australia. Most come from Vietnam.
Numbers Almost Triple
Earlier this year, the official said, the number of refugees arriving at these ports held fairly steady at about 2,000 a month, but in May the figure jumped to 5,800 and continued at that level into June. Some refugee organizations have estimated that at least half of the people who escape by boat from Vietnam perish at sea.
Up to now, the official said, captains of ships that picked up refugees at sea often were forbidden to discharge their cargoes or to send their crews ashore at their next ports of call by governments fearful of having to assume responsibility for the refugees.
Under Mr. Carter's order, he said, the captains of American ships can now assure the authorities in any port that the refugees’ cases will be quickly processed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and that the refugees will soon be on the way to where they have chosen w resettle.
The official said that the United States hoped that other countries would now be encouraged to take similar actions.
This would ease the burden for Australia, Thailand, and Malaysia, which have set up camps for the Indochinese refugees but are reluctant to continue trying to cope with a problem whose dimensions have increased so dramatically in recent weeks.
U.S. Refugee Policy Debated
United States policy toward the boat people was a subject of considerable debate within the Carter Administration early this year, with some White House and State Department officials urging an immediate large‐scale effort to help the refugees and the Justice Department and other agencies recommending a more cautious approach.
At that point, about 172,000 Indochinese refugees had been permitted to enter the United States since the fall of Saigon in April 1975 under the so‐called “parole authority” of the Immigration Act of 1952.
That law allows the Attorney General to “parole into the United States temporarily” any alien for emergency reasons or reasons “deemed strictly in the public interest.” It is under this authority that the additional refugees affected by the new Presidential order would be admitted.

Sống lâu mà phải khoẻ mạnh còn đi tới lui được thì mới good. Chứ nằm 1 chổ trong hospice thì thà đi sớm cho khoẻ thân. 0 chừng con cái cũng có người đã ngũm trước ổng rồi.
