President. that a Pakistani ship. the Padma. sailed last night from New York to Karachi with American military supplies sold to Pakistan under the Foreign Military Sales Act. Apparently this is not the first violation of officially stated policy. and. according to some sources. it is not to be the last. Whether it is doubletalk. incompetence. or both. the shipment of U.S. arms to Pakistan is a violation of policy. And even worse. it will continue to fuel military actions which have already been the primary cause of over 6 million refugees and countless civilian dead. Last Friday. I expressed. again. my dismay over our Governments silence and apparent indifference over the actions of the heavily American supplied Pakistan Army toward the people of East Bengal.
