Our Government is doing practically nothing to relieve the shortage of hospital beds. medicine. and medical supplies so desperately needed by Cambodias children. The plight of Cambodias young should touch every one of us. Uppermost in our minds today is the continuing suffering of the children of South Vietnam brought on by the continuing war there. The Senate Subcommittee on Refugees and Escapees reported in January. 1975. that there have been 1.4 million new refugees in South Vietnam since the ceasefire was signed. Undoubtedly. several hundreds of thousands of these are children. The subcommittee also reported that at least 20 percent of South Vietnams children are orphans.
