Mr. Speaker. I rise to express my support for H.R. 4878. a bill to provide for the evacuation of Cambodian refugees. I believe that the sponsor of this bill. the gentleman from New York expresses a spirit of compassion in this legislation that Is missing too often in our debate over Cambodia. After 6 years of warmaking in that ravaged country. the administration is now shedding crocodile tears about the possibility of a "bloodbath" when the Lon Nol government falls. Although I reject this cynical appeal for more military aid. I do feel that we have a responsibility to the people who have been trapped by this war and now fear for their lives.
