Questions were raised concerning the employment of South Vietnamese refugees by the U.S. Government. The exception in the appropriation act providing that aliens from South Vietnam "lawfully admitted to the U.S. for permanent residence" may be employed by the Government did not permit such employment of refugees who were paroled into the United States under the Attorney General's discretionary authority. South Vietnamese refugees, paroled into the United States under the Attorney General's discretionary authority, whose status is adjusted to that of being "lawfully admitted for permanent residence" under 8 U.S.C. 1255 may be employed by the Government pursuant to section 602 of Public Law 94-91.
