I take this opportunity to read to the Senate and for the RECORD this editorial which appeared yesterday in the New York Times. on July 9. entitled. "Cambodias Crime." Some twelve weeks after the Communist entry into Phnom Penh and the forced exodus on foot of millions of urban Cambodians to distant countrysides. a veil of silence still cloaks the full horror of what has happenedwith the worst yet to come in predicted deaths from hunger and disease. Not only the foreign press. but diplomatic missions of any kind. including those from other Communist nations. are still barred from the country. as are international agencies. public and private. What are the Khmer Rouge rulers trying to hide? Of the estimated 7.000 refugees who fled to Thailand. most came from border areas. Only a small number were themselves participants in the death march from the cities or traversed enough of the countrywhich covers an area as big as New York. New Jersey.
