Mr. Chairman. I wish to add my voice to those here in the House today who have spoken in support of the bill we have before us. which would provide humanitarian aid to the refugees from Cambodia and South Vietnam. I was not an ardent supporter of this Nations policies in Southeast Asia. and I am convinced in my mind that the final result of these policies was predestined long ago. But whichever of us were right or whichever were wrong. that is not the question we face in this Nation today. Yet. I believe it plays a part of the antagonism that has arisen to face the refugees. Our people were lied to and deceived by their leaders about Vietnam and Cambodia. not once but many times. And when the truth emerged as it has so slowly but surely. many of our people were hurt and angry.
