Mr. Speaker. in the looming debate over U.S. military and humanitarian assistance to South Vietnam. one factor which is in danger of being overlooked is the human cost of U.S. inaction. The stream of refugees fleeing those areas which are being taken over by the Communists is an eloquent testimony to what the people of the area know about living under communism. Some say that these people are fleeing the war areas. In fact the opposite is true. In fleeing those provinces which the Saigon government has been forced to abandon they are leaving areas in which the war is essentially over. and fleeing to areas in which the war is likely to intensify.
