The Cambodian people do not want to be a secondclass colony of Vietnam. one of Asias poorest and most repressive nations. The ensuing struggle for selfdetermination. freedom. and liberty by the Cambodian people through the nonCommunist resistance movement has been costly. Tens of thousands of lives have been lost. much of the country has been destroyed. and hundreds of thousands of Cambodians have been refugees. While we have provided and continue to provide significant amounts of nonlethal assistance to the Cambodia people. it cannot and never will replace freedom. liberty. and independence. Despite the heavy cost. the Cambodian peoplewith our encouragementcontinue to bravely fight for the basic freedoms we take for granted.
