The sixth interviewee was an 18yearold girl from Ban Kou village. She said quite a few villagers were killed and wounded by the bombing. These six interviews were appended to the refugee report of refugees from Xeng Khouang Province. There was a second report. covering 97 refugees from Luang Prabang and Sam Neua Provinces. 82 of the people interviewed said the bombing had made life very difficult for them. 80% of this group saying they could not eke out more than a bare subsistence living after the attacks started. Thus the two U.S. refugee studies which were withheld by the State Department until April 1971. clearly show heavy bombing of Laotian civilian areas in at least four provinces. The 1970 testimony had mentioned bombing in three others. These are all U.S.
