A State Department official said
last week the United States has a
debt to pay to Cambodia for the
involuntary role the now war-torn
country played in the Vietnam
conflict.
Andrew Antippas, deputy
dir*?plor of fh#? Kamniinhpan
(Cambodian) Working Group, said
the United States has obligations
to send relief to Cambodians
because America deserted the
country after the Vietnam war.
Cambodia was dragged into the
conflict and left to fend for itself
when the war ended, he said.
CAMBODIA REMAINED
neutral to the problems in Vietnam
until 1970, when North Vietnamese
troops crossed the Cambodian
border and set up temporary
bases. The United States
recognized Cambodia's neutrality
but conducted bombing raids on
the Vietnamese bases, which
resulted in the deaths of many
Cambodians.
The Kampuchean Working
Group is striving to provide food
and medical supplies for the
millions of displaced persons in
uamDocna, Anuppassaia.

Cambodia's deterioration began in
1975 when the Pol Pot communist
regime took power. "Most of
Cambodia's middle class was
destroyed during Pol Pot's
regime," Antippas said. "The
Cambodians are a passive people;
no one understood what Pol Pot
i was about."
I
DURING POL POT'S takeover,
families were separated and
national institutions were
destroyed. When the Vietnamese

Pol Pot, the people were told to

said. "Last spring, only 10 percent |

Antipass said the United States

support. One-third of the
money was for direct relief of
Cambodians in Thailand. The
other two-thirds was for UNICEF,
