Mr. President. last month. the Subcommittee on Refugees. of which I am chairman. released a preliminary subcommittee report on humanitarian conditions in Indochina on the second anniversary of the ceasefire agreement for Vietnam. In that report. the subcommittee estimated that: Well over 50 percent of Cambodias 6.000.000 population are refugeesand there were 60.000 new refugees generated by the war since January 1. 1974. By official count alone. civilian war casualties in Cambodia during 1974 averaged 7.000 per month for a total of 84.000. And today in Cambodia. the high level of violence continues unabated. Each day of war brings another day of human suffering. While the lingering war in Cambodia continues to rage on. we should not lose sight of those who have nothing to gain. but most to lose from the warthe civilian war victims and refugees of that nation. Ammunition. rather than food. is reaching Phnom Penh today. The hungry and wounded of the city go unfed and uncared for as the siege tightens.
