We hear a great deal in 1970 about the potentiality of a bloodbath in which 100.000 might be killed. Well. since then 347.000 have been killed and 1.8 million South Vietnamese are refugees. and over 500.000 Laotians. and 1.6 million Cambodian refugees have been created. with no accounting of the North Vietnamese civilians displaced. although the number would be in the hundreds of thousands. I believe. Without including them. we have 3.9 million refugees created since August 1970 and 342.000 people have been killed. Mr. President. we simply can no longer allow the specter of a highly questionable bloodbath of the future to blind us from the real bloodbath that is going on today.
