Mr. Speaker. last night I listened as my daughter who is just back from months in the refugee camps in Thailand read me letter after letter from her Vietnamese friends left behind. The stories are heartbreaking. There are pirates operating in the Gulf of Siam. hundreds of them. kidnaping and raping 10-. 11-. 12-. and 13yearold girls every day and murdering or robbing the fathers. the brothers. or the husbands of young wives who are also gang raped. Right at this moment young girls are being ripped from their families. and they are disappearing forever. Some to a place. if you can comprehend this. called "Rape Island." We should exercise some courage here and at the White House to put pressure on a friendly country. an allyThailandto stop these human rights outrages.
