HIAS HELPS FORMER NORTH VIETNAMESE REFUGEE REACH U.S.


NEW YORK--Bang Khiet Nghe, holding flowers, a 14-year-old Vietnamese refugee who had


escaped to the People's Republic of China (PRC),


is shown after her recent arrival in New York. Greeting Bang


at the reunion with her mother, Ai Link Huynh, of Morris Plains, N.J.


were her three brothers and Bruce Leimsidor, of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid


Society (HIAS). HIAS helped bring the youngster to the U.S. --


marking the first time the Jewish migration agency has assisted


and received a refugee directly from the PRC.


The organization, which previously brought Mrs. Huynh and her


sons from Malaysia in 1979, has been responsible for resettling


8,717 Indochinese refugees since 1975.
