Our support should be unwavering. and to the hilt. We ought to recognize that this man has made a great contribution toward stopping the spread of Communist ideology in southeast Asia. He. the French. and the Americans have been responsible for the repatriation of approximately 800.000 refugees from Communistheld and Communistdominated north Vietnam into the south. He hopes to get out 250.000 more refugees by May 16. which is 14 days away. On that date the port of Haiphong will be turned over to the Communists. and they will exercise control there. So I hope our Government. in the person of General Collins. our Secretary of State. and the President will see to it that the support of Ngo Dinh Diem. the present Premier of free Vietnam. is continued. and that we shall be able to give him every possible assurance that we are behind him to the limit.
