And it provides for the Lebanese to regain control of their destiny by removing the armies of other nations from its soil. The situation in Lebanon is typical of such conflicts in that the women. children. and elderly of the country. the innocent pawns of all international brinksmanship. are its most tragic victims. I have Joined with other women in Congress in writing President Reagan to urge him to request the Lebanese Government to name an international organization for the purpose of overseeing the safety of innocent refugees in the country. And I am hopeful that established international relief agencies will contribute their usual humanitarian aid to this sad situation. Most of us cannot recall a time when the Middle East was free from the strife which haunts the region.
