As many .......... ...... ... ..... ....... as a quarter of a million more Cambodians may enter Thailand in the near future. The international rescue effort must concentrate on getting food into Cambodia -- and preparing for a new flood of refugees into Thailand. I want to applaud the decision of the Government of Thailand to accept into their country those who seek help. We shall continue to support the Thais and share the burden. .. ... .... ..... ........ ... .. : ... ..... :: :: ::::::::::::::::: : ... .. .... ........ .... ::::::: :::::::: .... : :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::: ::::::::::::::::::::. : : :. :·: : :::: · : . .. �: :. :::-;::_.:-: : : ..::::: :::::::::::. :::: :· ·:.:: :::·.::::: ·::::::::::::::::::::: :::::. : ::: ·:::::::: 1. •.. ···········-······ [i��=:�//? ·················· -2- ·.·.·.·.·::. ·.·:.·.·.·.·.··::.

It is complex because it is not a problem the Government of Thailand can deal with alone. Nor can we deal with it alone.
