Speaker. I thank the gentleman for yielding and I wish to commend the gentleman from New York for trying once again to highlight the sense of futility and frustration felt by Members of the Congress and by the whole Nation. We stand appalled as the level of violence increases. and as the pilgrimages of thousands upon thousands of refugees once again enter our consciousness. These refugees are not fleeing from the alleged blood bath that the President talks about which allegedly would be inflicted by the Vieteong. these refugees are fleeing from the blood bath that will come from American bombers after a city has been taken by the North Vietnamese. Today U.S. fighterbombers flew 606 strikes. one of the largest invasions on any day during the last 4 years. I am not going to repeat how on four occasions during the past year this House of Representatives failed to stop this war.
