Speech #920287848

Again and again. this administration has whitewashed the grim facts of this war and of Ameriqas contribution to the human tragedy and bloodbath occurring throughout Indochina. It has repeatedly denied information to Congress on the truth about American military practices. especially the noholdsbarred air warfirst over Laos and now over North Vietnam. As chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. over the years I have repeatedly attempted to obtain information from the Department of Defense on the impact of American military policies and practices on the civilian population of Indochina. including North Vietnam. This year I addressed letters of inquiry to Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird on May 3. June 26. and August 9all of which have gone unanswered.
