With these serious problems facing this country. it is difficult for many to turn their thoughts and energies toward the desperate situation of the millions of people living under repressive governments. It is the purpose of Captive Nations Week to direct attention to their situation and to the alternatives for action the United States has at its discretion. At this time of economic difficulties in the United States. it is far too easy to point to our aid to Vietnamese refugees or to U.S. contributions to the U.N. and consider our obligations well met. This is. unfortunately. not the caseour obligation requires more than financial aid or the opening of our doors to those fortunate enough to escape oppression. We must also direct our policies at improving the lot of those still living under oppression and helping them free themselves from oppressive rule.
