A spokesman of the Bangladesh Foreign Office said: "We have learnt with great satisfaction that the United States House of Representatives has voted restrictive provisions in the Foreign Aid Bill which would in effect suspend all economic and military aid to Pakistan." "We extend our warm felicitations to American Congressmen for their wisdom in correctly evaluating the present situation in Bangladesh. It is gratifying that the members of the august body have not been deluded by the Pakistan propaganda that all is well in the land inhabited by 75 million Bengalies". The spokesman especially thanked Mr. Thomas Morgan, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Mr. Coruelius Gallaghee, Chairman of the House Sub-Committee on South Asia, "for their role in bringing home to the members of Congress the magnitude of the manmade disaster which has overtaken our country". "It is with special pride that the democratically elected representative of Bangladesh salute Congressmen of the United States for upholding democracy", he said and added: "We trust that the U. S. Administration will respect the verdict given by their own House of Representatives". In Calcutta, the Bangladesh Mission Chief Mr. Hossain Ali, expressed joy at the "inspiring news" that all Bengali diplomats of Pakistani mission in New York and Washington had joined the war of independence. In a statement Mr. AU said that in doing so the diplomats "had broken the shackles of slavery, and exercised the right of independence as free citizens of a sovereign Bangladesh."
