And I believe that the United States should join with other nations to provide food relief to avert famine in Bangladesh this year. Hundreds of thousands of tons of food are needed. I will cosponsor Senate Concurrent Resolution 55 which calls for recognition of Bangladesh. I will work for assistance to Bangladesh in the fields of transportation. communications. and food relief. Having personally witnessed the misery suffered by the people of Bangladesh last August and knowing that the subsequent war further devastated the country. I feel that this is a moral imperative. There are already adequate funds in the budget for Pakistani refugee relief to accomplish this purpose. Mr. President. the most recent Senator to visit Bangladesh has been my distinguished colleague.
