I remind the Senators that it was a year ago last December that the Royalist army. under General Phoumi. drove the highly touted Kong Le rebels out of Vientiane. I remind the Senators. too. that certain units of the Lao Army. in particular the 10.000 Meo tribesmen who are serving with it. have put up truly heroic resistance in situation after situation. I call to their attention the fact that there are now more than 40.000 refugees from Communist terror in the Vientiane area. and that hundreds more are arriving every day. I call to their attention the reports of the dedicated American missionary. Father Matthew Menger. whom I met in Laos. and whom I recently had the pleasure of seeing again in this country.
