ABSTRACT
This guidebook provides Bosnian, Croatian, and

information about what they will encounter and the services they can
receive in their first months in the country. The book is distributed
to overseas processing agencies, refugees overseas who have been
approved for U.S. admission, and service providers. Refugees ate
advised that most Americ-ins value self-reliance and individual
responsibility, but that in general people respect those who ask
questions about the new culture they are entering. All refugees are
assigned to a relocation agency as they arrive in the United States,
and housing is made available for the first month. The following
(1) pre-arrival processing; (2) the role of the

(5)
(8) health;
(7) education;
(6) employment;
transportation;
(9)
(10) rights and responsibilities of refugees;
managing your money;
and (11) cultural adjustment. Among the topics discussed is that of
the American educational system, both for children and adults. A
general outline of the public school system includes a discussion of
the American tradition of public participation in education. A map.of
the United States is included. (SLD)
