The American people have a moral responsibility to assist the innocent victims of this tragic and needless war. Specifically. Ambassador Bunker reported to Secretary Rogers on May 6 of this year. that 60 percent of 250.000 refugees in Danang were receiving no government assistance. In addition. 200.000 refugees are in transit. seeking refuge with friends and relatives or otherwise caring for themselves in the Northern sector of the country. Only $335 million Vietnamese piasters have been allocated to refugee relief. hence each of the 675.000 refugees will receive approximately 500 piasters or $1.25. The Agency for International Development is repeating past efforts by providing bulgur wheat to refugees during this current offensive. Even AID admits that the Vietnamese will not eat bulgur and instead they feed it to pigs and cattle. I simply do not understand why the Agency is repeating the same foolish error.
