They must no longer allow the Bengali people to live with impending starvation and politically administered food relief operations. Toward those ends. I have cosponsored the ChurchSaxbe amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act. with its critical language that all aid will be suspended "until distribution of food and other relief measures. supervised by international. agencies. take place." And it is also toward those ends. that I have cosponsored S. 2568 which- provides $400 million for food relief to be distributed to the Pakistani refugees in India. Whether S. 2568 is adopted. whether the ChurchSaxbe amendment is adopted. whether another means is employed. we must beaware that aid to the Pakistani Government at this -time. whether military. economic. or even socalled. humanitarian relief. becomes a means for the Pakistani army to continue its military activities and brutal repression in East Pakistan. The Bengalisboth India and in Pakistanmust be fed.
