Mr. President. in response to a letter of Macrh 13 I addressed to Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. submitting a series of 12 recommendations contained in a study mission report submitted to the Subcommittee on Refugees. I have received the text of a pointbypoint response from the Department of State. I wish to draw the attention of Senators to the Departments reply because I believe it raises troubling questions over our Governments policy toward Indochina. It is clear from the tone and the substance of the Departments statement that this administration has allowed our Indochina diplomacy to become bogged down in a cycle of recrimination and violencewhich prevents new initiatives needed to strengthen the ceasefire agreement and undermines meaningful progress toward a political settlement.
