Mr. Speaker. while the Indochina war is finally lurching to an end. millions of South Vietnamese and Cambodian civilians will continue to suffer in the months ahead. Made homeless by the war. driven off the land they cultivated to feed their families. these refugees are dependent on humanitarian aid for survival. The United States must bear much of this burden. and I have joined with Representatives HELEN MEYNER and BELLA ABZUG in proposing legislation to provide $200 million in immediate humanitarian assistance under the auspices of the U.N. and other international and private voluntary agencies. In an editorial on April 12. the New York Times endorsed this approach to meeting our future responsibilities in Indochina.
