               DETERIORATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN CAMBODIA

                                 ______


                               speech of

                           HON. STEPHEN HORN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 26, 1996

  Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, the recent appalling murder of Haing S. Ngor 
has refocused the world's attention on the horrors suffered by the 
Cambodian people at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. Mr. Ngor worked 
tirelessly to remind us that human rights tragedies were still 
occurring in his native country. We must continue his work.
  I strongly support House Resolution 345 expressing concern about the 
deterioration of human rights in Cambodia. Our Government must support 
efforts to establish a strong, free society there--and rally other 
nations to join us. Anything less would dishonor Mr. Ngor and the 1 
million Cambodians who have died at the hands of tyranny over the last 
two decades.
