Mr. President. the recent graphic descriptions of the slaughter of innocent victims in Cambodia must put to rest for all time the skepticism that has often greeted refugee reports from that country. Life magazine published articles in both January and March on Cambodia. I would like to quote a small part of John Brysons March article: The exclusive photographs on these pages show the scars left from a period in which a whole culture teetered on the edge of annihilation. Almost half a population of eight million was exterminated as Pol Pot and his henchmen sought to transform a Buddhist kingdom into a Marxist fantasyland.
