Because of the Nation that we are. because of what we stand for and because we as the Members of the Senate have a responsibility to safeguard the rights of those trying to find freedom. It is time for us to take action. Since the end of the Vietnam war refugees have fled that country by boat. Lieutenant Commander Cutlers letter brings to our attention the absolutely inhuman treatment these people suffer at the hands of pirates who roam the South China Seas and the Gulf of Thailand. We cannot stand by now and watch as these people are destroyed.
