Mr. President. for 8 long months our national leadership stood silent and almost idle as the spectre of human deprivation and violence stalked South Asia. It is now a late stage in the crisiswith even more refugees now fleeing because of the escalated violence throughout the areabut I feel the opportunity still exists for our Government to make a positive contribution to the peace and relief of the area. And so I urge the administration to turn its policy around. They must consider the source of the violence. and move toward a fundamental political settlement in East Bengal. Anything short of that means more war. more refugees. more senseless death. Mr. President. how much time do I. have remaining?
