Mr. President. these figures seem almost beyond comprehensionsome authorities estimate that 2 million to 3 million Cambodians could die. This would be a holocaust on a scale that I think almost boggles the mind. It would exceed those killed in some of the major wars in the history of mankind. and it would produce a new flood of refugees that would move into Thailand and other countries. Mr. President. when the Committee on Foreign Relations was considering this problem. I offered an amendment to the bill. which was unanimously adopted by the Committee on Foreign Relations. It gives the President the authority to spend up to $30 million of funds that have already been appropriated in the foreign aid program.
