President Yahya Khan of Pakistan, in his first meeting with the foreign press since the tragic events occurred in East Pakistan, recently said that he received "a very warm, kind personal letter" from President Nixon. Much that comes out of West Pakistan these days is hyperbole, but certainly the President of the United States cannot be "warm" or "kind" to a regime which has massacred upward of 50,000 persons and caused upward of 2 million of its citizens to flee. These conservative figures are not hyperbole from India, for I was on the India/East Pakistan border late in April and heard tales of massacre from refugees and saw, even then, thousands of refugees fleeing from the West Pakistan army. The White House, in view of President Khan's statement, should release the actual text of its message and, more important, end promptly all material and moral aid to West Pakistan.
