The information supplied by the State Department appears in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. volume 113. part 22. pages 3067730681. There is no need here to burden the RECORD with a repetition of the entire State Department submission. We need concern ourselves only with a single statement by the Department: Honduras has contributed drugs and dry goods for refugees in Vietnam. flown there on a Honduras Air Force plane. That apparently innocent statement went largely unnoticed until March 1970. when my attention was called to a draft report by the General Accounting Office entitled. "Administration and Effectiveness of United States Economic and Military Assistance to Honduras." In discussing the Honduran response to a U.S. request to Latin American countries for assistance to Vietnam. the GAO draft report says: Due to the limited range of Honduran Air Force cargo aircraft it was determined by United States authorities to use a USAF plane to transport the supplies from Tegucigalpa. Honduras. to Saigon.
