President. we cannot allow the world to forget or overlook the continuing tragedy which is occurring in Cambodia. Events in other parts of the world have taken precedence recently. but for those who have been displaced by war. famine. and disease in Cambodia. the nightmare continues and shows little sign of abating. While we cannot afford to minimize the seriousness of international developments elsewhere. we cannot allow them to overshadow the efforts needed to ease the plight of Cambodias refugees. Shortly after returning from visiting Cambodian refugee camps in Thailand this past January. Senator HAYAKAWA and I introduced a resolution calling upon the President to request the United Nations to establish an international presence in the refugee encampments on the ThaiCambodian border. in general accordance with a request to this effect by the Thai Government. a request upon which no action has yet been taken. Senator HAYAKAWA and I have been gratified by the support we have received in this body for our effort. including the original cosponsorship of Senators BAUcus. DANFORTH. and SASSER. who recently visited both Thailand and Cambodia.
