Mr. President. recently. the. senior Senator from Massachusetts made a statement that there have been more than 1 million civilian casualties in Vietnam since 1965. with 300.000 deaths. He was quoted further as saying that some of the deaths and injuries were caused by Vietcong terrorism "but the majority have been stimulated by ARVNSouth Vietnameseand U.S. forces." Mr. President. it would be helpful if the Senator from Massachusetts disclosed where the Senate Refugee Subcommittee obtained such figures. Since his interview was reported. I have asked the Department of Defense to verify the figures used by the Senator. They have not been able to do so and in fact claim there are no reliable figures available on the total number of civilian casualties.
