The indication. at least in the press that I have seen. is that the situation is getting worse. fighting is breaking out again. The famine is going to get worse. not better. And so the United States. which has been the bastion of standing for what is right in Indochina. is now going to be able to say. under the Huddleston amendment. "Well. we are going to. in this very symbolic act. reduce the number of refugees from Indochina that we are allowing into the United States from 168.000. 170.000. down to maybe half that number." What is that going to say? What is that going to say to General Prem? What is that going to say to the Government of Thailand?
