In particular the United States. have a moral obligation to save the Cambodian people from extinction. America must take the lead in working to end the Cambodian -nightmare. We must insure that sufficient humanitarian aid is sent to the Cambodian refugees. Our Government must pledge its support and urge the support of other nations during the Cambodian pledging conference. America must continue to accept adequate numbers of refugees for resettlement. Our Government must act to protect the wellbeing of those Cambodians both in Thailand and along the ThaiCambodian border by preventing any forced repatriation of refugees into Cambodia. Finally. we must work for the convening of an international conference on Cambodia designed to end the fighting and bring about the establishment of a representative governmentin that land. I am strongly in support of Congresswoman HECKLERS resolution be.cause I believe that it describes the vital goals which our Nation must pursue in helping to bring about an end to the Cambodian horror.*
