I rise today to acknowledge and thank the people. especially the royal family. of Thailand. In my lifetime. the people of Thailand. guided by a benevolent and wise royal family. have been among Americas best friends. Throughout the ups and downs of the Vietnam era. the Thais have stood with us steadfastly. even when it was uncomfortable for them to do so. They have also played a tremendous humanitarian role by taking in refugees from tyranny from all directions. Their generosity and friendship is recognized. respected and appreciated. In a time when millions of Americans are suffering the disastrous affects of Hurricane Katrina. they have stepped forward to offer a helping hand.
