If this is true. why is the United States asked to budget $20 million a year for Saigons police system? and why are there some 120.000 security personnel and over 600 detention centers in a country the size of an average United States State? And why does the GVNs own budget provide for 400.000 prisoners? These questions could be cleared up quickly and easily if the Thieu government would permit inspection of its prisons. Requests have been made by the International Red Cross. the Senate Refugee Subcommittee staff. Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit. representatives of the international press. and Buddhist monks and Catholic priests in South Vietnam. I have just learned that 300 Buddhist monks imprisoned near Saigon are on a hunger strikebut no one can find the truth. for all requests for inspections have been denied.
