100 বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ চতুর্দশ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ ৪৬। পাকিস্তানে সাহায্য বন্ধের জন্য বাল্টিমোর সান ৯ জুন, ১৯৭১ সিনেটরদের বিবৃতি THE SUN, BALTIMORE JUNE 9, 1971 2 SENATORS ASK CUT -OFF IN AID TO PAKISTAN By Adam Clymer Washington Bureau of The Sun Washington, June 8-A11 American aid to Pakistan should be halted until its government changes its policies enough so that refugees return to that country. Senators William B. Saxbe (R., Ohio) and Frank Church (D., Idaho) urged today. They announced they would offer an amendment to the foreign aid bill next week to bar any military or economic aid to Pakistan until a majority of the estimated 5,000,000 refugees now in India are repatriated and international relief efforts are begun. Senator Church contended the amendment was necessary to eliminate American support of one side-the government-in a "civil war." He said it was "neutral" and not an effort to interfere in Pakistan's internal affairs. Bui under questioning he conceded the amendment sought to force a change in Pakistan government policies toward East Pakistan citizens-a change broad enough so that the refugees would feel safe in returning home. U.S. To Provide $15 Million Meanwhile, Charles Bray, a State Department spokesman, announced that the United States was providing another $15 million in aid to India to cope with the Pakistani refugees. This is in addition to $25 million announced earlier. Of the allotment, $10 million will go for food, and the remainder for medical supplies and other needs, Francis L., Kellogg, special assistant to the secretary of state for refugees affairs, announced. Mr. Kellogg said that refugees are continuing to cross the border at a rate of 50,000 to 100,000 a day, and the U.S. is committed to feeding 1,250,000 of them, he said the Indian government's current estimate of the number of refugees was 4.7 million. He said the latest report of U.S. would send 1,000,000 anticholera shots in later this week. Military Mission Arrives In New Delhi, a 27-man U.S. military mission arrived in an Air Force C-130 transport. They will check out airfields in Tripura, to the east of East Pakistan, to see whether an airlift mission can be mounted to move refugees (now totaling 500,000 compared to the state's basic population of 1.5 million) into less crowded Indian areas. Three other C-130's will be sent if it proves feasible, they said.
