Two years ago the distinguished writer. John Barron. put out a book that was distributed. not widely enough around our House. called "The Murder of a Gentle Land." I visited Cambodia three times before I came to the Congress. the first time in 1966. and it was that. a gentle land with a beautiful and gentle people. and to think we may witness a famine of 3 million of its citizens in the next 6 months just staggers the mind. I know the gentlemans committee will keep this House informed on a regular basis of what we can do and how quickly we can do it to save whatever hundreds of thousands of children we can in this most pathetic area of the world and to remind ourselves. without any rancor. that it is again a manifestation of the curse on the face of the Earth of communism. no matter how we try to picture it. this form of oppression over mankind is causing hundreds of thousands of refugees and now the death of millions of people again. and it has only been six decades since 1917 in the Soviet Union. So I thank the gentleman again for the gentlemans work in this great committee on both sides of the aisle.
