Mr. Speaker. our relations with the Republic of Korea have in recent weeks received more and more attention. as it becomes apparent that there are moves afoot in this Chamber to begin the process of abandoning South Korea. as this country abandoned South Vietnam on a stepbystep basis from 1968 until the Communist victory there last April. I urge this body and appeal to my colleagues not to set out on this course. for the end result could be another Conununist victory in Asia. a second bitter defeat for a quarter of a century of American policy in the Far East. the persecution of antiCommunists and U.S. supporters in Korea and the anguish of hundreds of thousands or even millions of Korean refugees fleeing to escape Communist tyranny. Two basic contentions are made by those who favor beginning the policy of abandonment of South Korea. They argue that South Koreas security and stability are not important to the security of the United States.
