I am not advocating that we abandon our friends and allies in Southeast Asia. I intend to support additional appropriations for humanitarian assistance to Vietnam and Cambodiaassistance which is designed to ease the burdens of hunger. disease. and homelessness that have been forced upon millions of Cambodians and Vietnamese. This assistance should be provided by the United States to refugees throughout Southeast Asia regardless of the lines of government control. and it should be provided through the United Nations and voluntary agencies to insure that it goes directly to the needy. To help accomplish these objectives. I have cosponsored a bill by Senator KENNEDY which would provide $800 million in additional humanitarian assistance.
