Mr. Chairman. $60 million In reported military assistance to UNTTA represents not only an unadulterated waste of taxpayer funds. but also a step which will continue mindlessly adding to Angolas staggering human misery. We have heard of the indiscriminate use of land mines that has created the worlds largest amputee population. estimated to be upwards of 50.000. The war has left over 00.000 dead. over 1 million refugees and displaced persons. In the next 2 months famine will threaten 1.9 million people. If there is no durable ceasefire soon and no effective removal of land mines. Mr. Chairman. two thirds of those at risk of starvation will likely not be reached.
