It not only assures us that there will be an end to the weekly toll of American dead but also that American combat troops. as well as American helicopter crews and American bomber pilots. will be spared from the bloody lists of casualties. And just as important. it assures us that the actions of- American military forces. actions which have been financed by congressional appropriations. will no longer bring death and destruction to the people of Indochina. As chairman of the Refugee Subcommittee. I have seen the consequences of the Presidents oftproclaimed policy of Vietnamization. Witness after witness has testified to what our bombing of supply lines in Indochina has meant to civilians. Villages razed. crops destroyed. countless deaths and a steady stream of refugees spread across the countryside. The President has told us that the bombing will go on. He has told us that the withdrawal of U.S. troops will go only up to a certain point.
