But we have all read the accounts ourselves. and we have all been moved in our own way. I think all of us recognize how many millions of personal tragedies have taken place in East Bengal. The question now is what can we do to prevent a million more. Three steps are vital: First. we must provide without delay the $250 million of refugee relief contained in the foreign assistance bill. We should also consider additional steps to increase our relief effort as soon as possible. Second. we should terminate our own development assistance to Pakistan and support multilateral efforts to stop all such assistance until the situation in East Pakistan is normalized.
