Speaker. there is an enormous sense of tragedy one can feel reading between the lines of the Presidents message on Monday asking for more assistanceover a halfbillion dollarsfor the Saigon and Phnom Penh governments. The message is tragic. Mr. Speaker. because even if we wanted to help these regimes accomplish what the President has asked us to help them do. they would be unable to. They would continue to lose the war. Thousands more would continue to be killed. maimed. and made refugees from the terror. And the blood would once again be on our hands. Vietnam has a unique and horrible quality: There are no winners. only losers.
