...added $22.5 million to a Vietnamese allocation of roughly $10 million to assuage the misery of more than 1,000,000 war refugees. At least 280,-000 were either sent back to their homes last year or resettled in new locations, but new refugees pour in daily, and the number living in temporary hovels rose during the same period from 320,000 to more than half a million. Private citizens in the U.S. have sent nearly $20 million in clothing, medicines and cash for refugee relief, and 29 U.S. voluntary agencies staffed by 400 Americans work in the camps...

Even worse, admitted Welch, "about all I usually accomplished, in trying to pour oil upon these troubled waters, was to get myself completely splattered with...
Fannie Mae's new power to borrow, when added to its existing plans to do so, means that the agency may pour some $7 billion of debentures and other financial paper onto the private bond market by mid-1967, driving interest rates up considerably. The resulting mortgage money will still be limited to FHA and VA loans, now so unpopular with builders that they account for only about 15% of this year's housing. Fannie Mae's aid to housing may thus be only half a remedy...
