For quite some time. the United States has been in the forefront of the human rights movement. Our commitment to human rights is tangibly expressed by our work with the international relief agencies and through diplomatic channels to bring food and medical supplies to the needy Cambodians. Congress has moved quickly to pass a refugee assistance bill providing $60 million for relief purposes. Flexible authority has been granted the President to go ahead and provide this aid before the actual enactment of the appropriations bill. Resettlement efforts are being expedited so that as many refugees as possible can be brought to the United States from the camps in Thailand. Our people have opened their hearts and pocketbooks by contributing generously to the various charities assisting in the relief efforts. We can and will do much more as soon as the hurdles have been cleared for delivering food and medicine by air. sea. and land.
