In short. to avoid a possible bloodbath of perhaps 100.000 people. in only 2 years 248.577 combatants alone have died. In addition. close to 100.000 South Vietnamese civilians have been killed. as well as tens of thousands of men. women. and children in Laos and Cambodia and North Vietnam. Nearly 1.800.000 South Vietnamese have become refugees. losing their homes and their land. forced to join the ranks of countless thousands of new war victims throughout other areas of Indochina. As many as 400.000 lives. by official counthave been sacrificed on the altar of the bloodbath argument. which this administration continues to propogate. This is the reality of the bloodbath argument. and it is graphically outlined in a table. which I ask unanimous consent be printed at this point in the RECORD.
