The World - News from Sept. 29, 1989

Vice President Dan Quayle called for all-out support for non-Communist resistance factions in Cambodia to help prevent a comeback by the Khmer Rouge. Speaking in Malaysia at the end of a four-nation Asian tour, Quayle declined to say whether his comments mean the United States has been sending military assistance to those factions. He told reporters that “I want to reaffirm our strong support for the non-Communist resistance. We need to make sure that they have credibility, that they have resources, that they can participate efficiently in a resolution in Cambodia.” The Khmer Rouge was blamed for 1 million deaths during its 1975-78 rule.
