We heard a great deal about alleged American casualties inadvertently caused when American planes flew in support of Laotian forces trying to keep their country from being overwhelmed by the North Vietnamese Communists. But we heard very little of coldblooded. purposeful. indiscriminate murder of civilians by North Vietnamese and Laotian Communists. Therefore. I would like to bring to your attention this recent account in the St. Louis Globe Democrat of the experiences of a Catholic priest who has spent 14 years in Laos and tried recently to describe Communist terrorism and murder to a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. Father Matt Menger says he expects to die in Laos. He says 15 of his fellow priests have been murdered by the Communists.
