Clearly. my vote does not represent opposition to all foreign military assistance. Some nations. such as Israel. richly deserve our support. In addition. the bill contains amendments which i introduced which provide refugee assistance in Bangladesh. South Vietnam. and Cambodia as well as authorizing postwar refugee planning throughout Indochina. All of these items could have been funded In separate legislation if we had been successful in defeating this measure. However. the bill as it stood on final passage. represented an incentive to continue the fighting in Indochina and to continue a narrow view of foreign policy that assumes mounting military expenditures by the United States and by other nations will produce a peaceful world.
