The members of the ASEAN Pact know. as we all should know. that the wholesale subjugation of the Khmer people at the hands of the marauding foreign power is an outrageous injustice in its own right. that also represents a severe threat to regional security and ultimately to the international peace. Vietnam maintains more than 170.000 armed troops in Kampuchea. This occupying force belies its pretense at peaceful intentions. More than 200.000 Khmer refugees living in squalor and misery along the Thai border belie the Vietnamese claims. The human suffering in Kampuchea cannot be overstated. It is a moral imperative of the gravest magnitude that the United States must support this ASEAN initiative to resolve that terrible situation.
