That argument falls of its own weight. it is like saying two wrongs make a right. And President Nixon plays on semantic niceties to hide the fact that American military men are fighting and dying in Laos. The similarities to the things our Government said and did in Vietnam are appalling. Already we are reading reports of bewildered. homeless refugees pouring into Vientiane as they flee from bombing raids by U.S. planes. Refugees have been pouring into Saigon for 5 years. many of them for the same reason. Last week I urged that secret testimony on Laos given to Senator SYMINGTONS subcommittee be made public. I no longer believe that would be enough.
