s we have provided no military assistance whatever and no economic assistance to cambodia.

north vietnam, however, has not respected that neutrality. for the past five years, as indicated on this map, that you see here, north vietnam has occupied military sanctuaries all along the cambodian frontier with south vietnam. some of these extend up to 20 miles into cambodia. the sanctuaries are in red, and as you note, they are on both sides of the border. they are used for hit-and-run attacks on american and south vietnamese forces in south vietnam. these communist-occupied territories contain major base camps, training sites, logistics facilities, weapons and ammunition factories, airstrips, and prisoner of war compounds.

and for five years neither the united states nor south vietnam has moved against these enemy sanctuaries because we did not wish to violate the territory of a neutral nation. even after the vietnamese communists began to expand these sanctuaries four weeks ago,

we counseled patience to our south vietnamese allies and imposed restraints on our own commanders.

in contrast to our policy the enemy in the past two weeks has stepped up his guerrilla actions, and he is concentrating his main forces in these sanctuaries that you see in this map, where they are building up to launch massive attacks on our forces and those of south vietnam.

north vietnam in the last two weeks has stripped away all pretense of respecting the sovereignty or the neutrality of cambodia. thousands of their soldiers are invading the country from the sanctuaries. they are encircling the capital of pnompenh. coming from these sanctuaries, as you see here, they had moved into cambodia and are encircling the capital.

cambodia, as a result of this, has sent out a call to the united states, to a number of other nations, for assistance. because if this enemy effort succeeds, cambodia would become a vast enemy staging area
