International relief workers have reported that the U.S. embargo has prevented urgently needed assistance from reaching these children. Our aid for Cambodia should be provided openly. and should consist of humanitarian and development aid that will support efforts to bring about political and economic reform and stability to Cambodia. It should also be used for the resettlement and repatriation of Cambodian refugees. One of the tragedies of the current situation is that more refugees and internally displaced persons are being created by recent Khmer Rouge attacks within the country. The military assistance that we have provided. even if it is nonlethal. has helped prolong the war and prevent a peaceful settlement. Whether we intended it or not. it has facilitated cooperation between Prince Sihanouks forces and the Khmer Rouge.
