Mr. President. news reports over the past 24 hours strongly suggest that American bombs are responsible for the damage to the French and Algerian legations in Hanoi. and the personal injury and the loss of life that has apparently occurred. Just 2 weeks ago. on September 28. the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. which I serve as chairman. held a hearing on the impact on civilians of the air war over North Vietnam. In both open and closed sessions. administration witnesses assured us again and againbut without much proofthat what officials call "collateral damage" was minimal and that every precaution is taken to avoid air strikes over civilian and nonmilitary areas. In this connection.
