Speech #960168203

The gaunt faces of famished children have gone from the front pages of our newspapers--replaced by problems and crises elsewhere. But the death toll continues. as does our need to act. As my distinguished colleague. Senator SASSER. testified before a hearing I chaired some days agoafter returning from his visit to the fieldhe said he found a terrible silence in the Cambodian refugee camps. A silence caused by weakened. starving people. unable to move. much less speak out. It is our job to speak out for themto cry out for help and for urgent action. We must be able to tell our children that we did not look the other way to the Cambodian holocaust. as we did to another holocaust a generation ago.
