Thailand has the risky distinction of being the front line state in this effort. For this they deserve our full support. This same aggression and repression in Indochina has led to a massive flight of refugees over the last 10 years. The free nations in the region. particularly Thailand. have borne the brunt of this influx. While international help has been important. it has been Thailands humanitarian policy of offering sanctuary to these unfortunate people which has saved countless lives. They deserve our appreciation and continued help in bearing this burden. Thailands ability to carry this added security and refugee burden depends to a large degree on the health of its economy. The most important element in the Thai economy is rice. The Thai are the most efficient producers of rice in the world and are. hence. the largest exporters.
