In particular. I invite attention to that portion of Commander Hansens telegram to the President in which he reiterates the VFWs vigorous opposition to providing any food to Maos Red Chinese regime. There is profound logic in Commander Hansens observation. "United States assistance should be to the refugees and should be within the areas of sanctuary and freedom. and should not be in the Communist nations." This is in complete accord with Commander Hansens statement of some few weeks ago expressing the VFWs firm opposition to current proposals for sending food. directly or indirectly. to Red Cuba and Red China. Again. in that instance the VFW served our Nation well by alerting its citizens to the dangers inherent in any policyfor aiding Communist nations whose basic goal is the destruction of the United States. I recommend VFW Commander in Chief Hansens proposal to the attention of all those who are interested in this refugee crisis in the Far East. The statement follows:
