Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of Senate Concurrent Resolution 72. legislation which would encourage the United Nations to establish an official presence in the refugee camps along the ThaiKampuchean border. In my view. the presence of the U.N. in these camps where so many thousands of refugees are now languishing would be an important step in improving their plight. It would promote security and stability in the camps as well as improve the basic living standards for those refugees now living in them. In the past 4 years. approximately 4 million Kampucheans have died as a result of the strife and famine in that nation. More Kampucheans will probably die unless action is taken to protect the survivors.
