367 ংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ত্রয়োদশ খন্ড শিরোনাম সূত্র তারিখ বাংলাদেশে মর্মান্তিক ঘটনার প্রতি সিনেট সিনেটের কার্যবিবরণী ২০ জুলাই, ১৯৭১ সদস্য স্যাক্সবীর দৃষ্টি আকর্ষণ ও প্রত্যক্ষদশীর বিবরণ উল্লেখ July 20, 1971 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE S 1 1591 TRAGIC INCIDENTS IN EAST PAKISTAN Mr. Saxbe. Mr. President, I invite the attention of Senators to further events and accounts relating to the tragic incidents in East Pakistan. A lengthy speech is not necessary. The articles speak for themselves. I merely wish to repeat that the SaxbeChurch amendment suspending aid to Pakistan has 31 cosponsors. These cosponsors, plus the Senator from Idaho (Mr. Church) and myself represent one-third of the U.S. Senate. Tomorrow at least one more Senator will add his name to the growing list of cosponsors. We merely wish to prevent the United States from being dragged into another civil war. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a number of articles on Pakistan be printed in the Record. [From the Boston Sunday Globe, July 11, 1971] EAST PAKISTAN-A MOUNTING CRISIS-WITNESS REPORTS ON DEATH, DESTRUCTION An eyewitness account of the devastations left by West Pakistani troops, fanning out along the river leading from Dacca to the Bay of Bengal, is told in the following experts from a tape letter recorded in the area in late May. William H. Ellis, a Canadian engineer working on coastal embankments near the Bay of Bengal, recorded his comments on an unofficial and highly dangerous survey of the area in which he worked. The message was sent to Dr. John Rohde, formerly of the Cholera Research Laboratory in Dacca and now resident at Children's Hospital in Boston. Ellis, who holds a master's degree in hydrology from McGill University, has now left Pakistan. Ellis left Narayanganj on a shipping corporation coaster headed for Chittagong and stopping at Barisal. The tape letter: Ship was carrying may be 600 people. They were everywhere, under the lifeboats, in the lifeboats, on top of the cabins, between the decks, in the holds, companion ways, just everywhere. I tried to make my way to the engine room, but I just couldn't make it without chucking my biscuits so I came back up on deck.
