That is absolutely correct. It is further true that the position of Thailand with respect to refugees from Cambodia is a question which is now very much up in the air. given the new regime in Thailand. and that the United States has been encouraging the Government of Thailand to keep refugees from Cambodia. So the United States. during the past 2 years or so. has had as a major portion of its policy. trying to encourage other countries to take boat people. to take people from Cambodia. refugees from Indochina. If the State Departments estimates are correct. Mr. President. the effect of this would be that we are now at the upper level. at the limitation in the Huddleston amendment. and nobody else will be permitted in in 3 months.
