Mr. President. for the past several years. events in Cambodia were shrouded in secrecy and confusion. During that time. upheaval and destruction became a way of life for millions. and the initial trickle of refugees became a torrent. For countless thousands. Thailand became their last refuge from terror. It is from this sanctuary that their story now unfolds and filters to the rest of the world. Under the Khmer Rouge. Cambodia and its once thriving agrarian economy was plunged into a deadly and chaotic state. Millions were terrified. enslaved. and uprooted from their homes. Many lives were claimed by starvation and a litany of diseases.
