Mr. Speaker. the statements made by President Nixon on his brief visit to Vietnam indicate that the basic lesson to have been learned from our initial and continuing involvement In Vietnam has still not reached the White House. President Nixon stated: I think history will record that this may have been one of Americas finest hours. because we took a difficult task and we succeeded. Succeeded in doing what? In trying to bomb a country and its people into submission? In creating millions of refugees? In supporting a corrupt military junta? Let us be blunt about this. The misguided policy of this President and the prior Presidents involved in this war has led to the loss of about 40.000 American lives.
