President. as early as 1977. I have initiated and endorsed repeated efforts in response to the plight of the Cambodian people. beginning with my calling attention to the human rights violations that became apparent at that time. In more recent years. my efforts have included the sponsorship of measures to increase U.S. assistance to Cambodian refugees. At the beginning of last month I cosponsored an amendment with my distinguished colleague from Massachusetts (Senator KENNEDY). calling for generous U.S. support of international relief efforts for Cambodia. It is therefore in keeping with my continuing concern and interest in the tragedy that has developed over the years that I am supporting S. 1668. This legislation. by authorizing additional funds for our refugee program. will help meet the continuing demand for vitamins. antibiotics. and vehicles to transport patients. In a firsthand account of their recent trip to Southwest Asia. Senators DANFORTH.
