Mr. President. yesterday the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. which I serve as chairman. resumed hearings on the plight of refugees and civilian war victims in Vietnam. We heard testimony from members of the subcommittees study mission which recently returned from Indochina. reporting on the humanitarian problems confronting the people of that wartom region. The ceasefire agreements In Vietnam and Laos--and the hope of resolving the conflict in Cambodiaare benchmarks of great historical importance in the evolution of our relations with the governments and people of Indochina. Even though conditions are mixed in the field. and many difficult problems continue for all parties involvedfor the first time in many years. our Nation has a real opportunity to embark on new policiesto change our involvementto reorder our prioritiesand to finally practice some lessons from the failures and frustrations of the past.
