Mr. Speaker. as you know from my previous statements and from the resolutions and statutes I have introduced. I continue to be much concerned with the refugee problem of the Bengali people in the area known as East Pakistan. My primary concern is the famine and cholera problem facing these refugees and the express desire to prevent the shipment of American arms to Pakistan. I would like to call your attention to certain political activities which are taking place in that area. While I do not recommend that any action be taken at this time. I think it well for us to be apprised of the fact that East Pakistan has declared its independence as the new nation of Bangla Desh.
