...MOST CONSTRUCTIVE result of the Watergate scandal thus far has been the increasing willingness of Congress to end the continuing criminal bombing the Nixon administration is conducting in Cambodia. Congress evidently emboldened by the disarray in the White House, is moving to cut off funds for the continuing aerial onslaught...
...significance of last week's Congressional actions, however, seems to have been lost on Nixon, for his spokesmen continue to issue arrogant statements indicating he will disregard the votes. The rationale for his actions is spurious: the struggle in Cambodia is being waged by indigenous revolutionaries and not, as Nixon claims, by infiltrators from outside. Nixon should have learned the lessons of Watergate by now: if he continues to disregard the nation's duly elected representatives and the authority of the Constitution they uphold, his illegal acts should add another point to a bill of impeachment...

But if the new President chooses to continue, we are ready to go on independently until 1980. We have enough courage to do that." Sihanouk insists that the insurgents will negotiate only...
...Sihanouk visited Khmer Rouge-held sections of Cambodia in March and asked his people their opinion of America. "They said, 'Bombings, bombings, killing, killing. We cannot be friends with such an inhuman country.' My people cannot be aware of your good traditions or the background of your Revolution. They know you through the B-52s, the AC-130s, the Spookies [gun ships] and the F-111s and F-105s...
