We cannot wash our hands of their tragic plight simply because the last American soldiers are leaving their shores. But the record is becoming clearer every day that the administration is establishing a national policy of walking away from our humanitarian responsibilities to the people of Vietnam. A short time ago a General Accounting Office report to the Subcommittee on Refugees outlined how the administrations policy was sabotaging programs dealing with civilian war casualties and health care. Today we learn the administrations policy is sabotaging needed programs for the children of Vietnam. For the immediate future we should at least maintain if not increase. our contributions to those humanitarian programs we have helped to build and support for the benefit of the Vietnamese people.
