TRAGIC EVENTS IN EAST PAKISTAN

 Mr. PELL. Mr. President. I have been following closely for the past several weeks the news accounts of the tragic events in East Pakistan. In addition, I have received personal eyewitness reports of those events from constituents. From all of these accounts there seems little doubt that what has occurred is nothing short of a horrifying slaughter.

 The world is too small, Mr. President, to dismiss human slaughter on this scale as merely the internal affairs of another country-affairs with which we should not concern ourselves. And yet our Government, in effect, has maintained silence in the face of these events. Whatever the diplomatic reasoning may be, the silence of the administration now is being interpreted to mean that our Government and our people have little regard for the lives of the thousands of the residents of East Pakistan.

 I hope the administration will soon find the words and actions to express to all of the world the deep concern that Americans feel.
