The millions of Soviet mines in Afghanistan and the massive Soviet airlift of military equipment will continue to render United States foreign assistance objectives to the Afghan people ineffective. These Soviet weapons and mines are paralyzing the return of the Afghan people to their homes. and rendering useless the agriculturally based economy of Afghanistan. The effect of assisting the Afghan people in stopping this airlift and in clearing up the mines in Afghanistan will be to expedite a peaceful. political settlement in Afghanistan. and to provide a safety valve to help relieve the great internal pressure the Afghan refugees are placing on Pakistan. Mr. Chairman. the present regime in Afghanistan is not supported by the Afghan people.
