It is a rhetoric which tragically evades genuine concernlet alone some responsibilityfor the devastating impact the conflict is having on the civilian population and countryside of the entire area. It is on this latter point--on what a correspondent recently called "a slaughter of innocents"-that I wish to comment briefly today. I am prompted to do so. not merely because the longstanding problems of refugees and civilian casualties continues. but also to underscore that the latest ingredient in our national policy of violence for Southeast Asia. can only add heavilyand needlesslyto the horrendous human toll that already exists. Our national leadership has now officially told us that all of Indochina is a target of American bombs. The President has said that he would place no limitation on the use of American airpower throughout the area.
