The supplicant: the royal government of Laos, whose small territory is bordered on the north by Red China, on the northeast by Communist North Viet Nam. Laos' plea: the U.S., along with Brit ain and France, should reaffirm its support of the Laos government against Communist pressure-particularly from the two Communist-controlled provinces in northeastern Laos.
