I do not think the Americans who lived through the agony of the Vietnam war would support a portion of their tax dollars going for additional aviation facilities in Vietnam that may eventually serve Soviet aims. Regardless of the Soviet role in the region there remains the horrible scenes on the Thai border caused by the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia and the oppression from the Government of Kampuchea. The last figures from Thailand show 156.461 refugees living at the various refugee centers and another 1.100.000 staying in areas straddling the ThaiKampuchea border. The Soviets are estimated to be pouring as much as $3 million a day into the Vietnamese military effort inside Kampuchea. There are mounting reports of outside assistance for the guerrillas operating within Thailand.
