I rise to commend the administration for its policy that it is adopting concerning trying to keep the Khmer Rouge from taking power in Cambodia. This is a very. very important policy. Having had the occasion last year to visit Thailand. to visit personally the refugee camps in which thousands of Cambodians flee from the conflict In their own land. seeing atrocities. and hearing about atrocities committed by Khmer Rouge. I cannot underscore enough how wrong and terrible it would be to permit the Khmer Rouge to gain power. I was struck by a meeting with the Ambassador from the Peoples Republic of China more than a year ago in which Members and Senators. on a bipartisan basis. many of them veterans of the Vietnam War. stood up to say whatever the administration policy was then. that we cannot permit the Khmer Rouge to take power.
