In recent years. the United Nations has suffered a disasterous tumble from the heights of impartiality and is now just picking and choosing whom it will help. not on the basis of justice. but on the basis of politics. The United States cannot stand mute while this happens. Therefore. today I am joining with my colleague from New York in circulating a joint resolution expressing the sense of the Congress that the United Nations should give immediate aid to the refugees and call on North Vietnamese and the PRO leaders not to interfere with such hu-. manitarian effort. If the United Nations fails to respond to the very basic needs of refugees in need of care and food. it will be further degraded as a humanitarian body. And its failure once again to act in the fact of challenge will diminish further the respect and influence it commands in the world and its future ability to bend arms into plowshares.
