Session #94 · 1975–77

Speech #940102044

I would like to call the Senates attention to the barbarous cruelty of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. During the days of struggle between the Khmer Rouge and the Lon Nol regime. we heard a great deal about the incumbents insensitivity to human rights. And rightfully so. But as the New York Times recently pointed out. we have heard little of the cavalier treatment of human rights by the victorious Khmer Rouge. The tales of escaping refugees. if even onequarter true. demand the moral outrage of our statesmen and elected officials. Mr. President. we in this Chamber cannot give way to a double standard.
