Our national interest does not lie in the continuation of the war. or an expanding U.S. involvement in it. It does not lie in the further destruction of the countryside in Vietnam or Laos or Cambodia. It does not lie in the generation of more war refugees and civilian casualties. It does not lie in the serious crisis of people spreading from one country to another like falling dominoes. Rather it lies in the very urgently needed effort by our Government to stop the violence and extricate ourselves from the war through appropriate decisions at the highest levels of our Government. It lies. as well. in a far greater effort to meet the vast human needs generated by the conflict. In conclusion. over the coming weeks and monthsas it has since 1965the Subcommittee on Refugees of the Committee on the Judiciary which I serve as chairman. will continue its very active interest in the escalating problem of war victims in Indochina. And we will also continue to be as tenancious in our views and recommendations for action. as we feel the important situation warrants. Mr.
