Speaker. once again we are reminded of the Soviets disregard for human life and dignity. On January 27. 1984. these barbarians bombed the Pakistani village of Angur Adda. killing over 40 civilians and injuring many others. Pakistan. a poor country already stretched to the limit. has humanely opened its borders to the flood of refugeesnearly 3 millionfrom Afghanistan. Is this what they get for their caring gesture of good will? Is it not enough for the Soviets to slay and murder innocent men. women. and children in Afghanistan? Instead. they carry the war over to Pakistana country next in line on their savage march toward the gulf. We need to quit beating around the bush. The United States must pledge all out support for the efforts of the Pakistan Government to help the refugees. And. the heroic Afghan freedom fighters need much more help from us if they are to continue their valiant struggle against the Soviet Union. We must not let the Soviet strategy of "in time the world will forget that we are invaders and accept our presence here" become the case in Afghanistan.
