For until some movement is made on the issue of prisoners of war. civilian internees. and minority populations. men and women and children will continue to suffer needlesslytheir unsettled fate not tied to their wellbeing. but to the names of diplomacy over which they have so little control. Mr. President. a second concern that I share with many Americans. is the continuing humanitarian crisis in Bangladesh. In the nearly 14months since achieving their independence. the Government and people of Bangladesh have struggled courageously to maintain the hopes of their hardwon freedom and. with the help of the international community. to build a better life for all. As a result. some 10.000.000 refugees who fled to India. and millions more who were displaced within their homeland. have been resettled. A good measure of law and order has been maintained. Communications have been restored.
