President. there may be some who believe that the question of the future of United StatesVietnamese relations can be tabled for the next administration to decide. I am not one of those. Such a policy would contribute to the suffering of the innocent victims of the Vietnam wars ugly aftermath: the families of MIAPOWs in America who deserve more frequent. higher level contact between our two governments. the reeducation camp inmates. the refugees in the regions camps. the Amerasian children and the other American families broken in two by separation. and the Vietnamese civilians who have been singled out from the worlds population as a people to whom the United States turns a deaf ear to their cries of hunger and despair. Last year Congress remained silent on the question of United StatesVietnamese relations. Many of us felt that it would be imprudent for the Senate to interfere with General Vesseys incipient diplomatic efforts.
