It has brought only more death and destruction. The war has been intensified. Countless more refugees have been driven from their homes. No end is in sight. The war is not winding down. it is raining downraining down ton after ton of devastation dropped from American aircraft. This is a tragic and unacceptable regression to the disastrous and discredited bombing policies of the past. The failure of this strategy has been apparent throughout the past 7 years. It has not broken the will of the North Vietnamese to resist. but it has yielded untold death. vast devastation. and millions of refugees. On April 6. as the administration resumed the bombing of North Vietnam. I sent an urgent telegram to the President urging him "in the strongest possible terms to order an immediate and complete halt to all American air strikes in Southeast Asia." and calling upon him to immediately resume the Paris negotiations.
