thought i realize that having our u.s. president in laos would have once been unimagined. 6 decades ago this country fell into civil war your neighbors and foreign powers including the united states intervened here at the time the u.s. government did not acknowledge america's role it was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. even now many americans are not fully aware of this chapter in our history and it's important that we remember today over 90 years 9641973 the united states dropped more than 2000000 tons of bombs here and lots war inflicts a terrible toll especially on innocent men women children. today i stand with you and acknowledging the suffering and sacrifices on all sides of that conflict i also know that there are remnants of war continue to shatter lives here in laos so today i'm proud to announce

around this morning i'm not so common that everest mimics the dew on the canals. president obama just made history by being the 1st sitting u.s. president to visit laos obama has so far refused to issue a formal apology for the secret u.s. bombing campaign in laos during its war on vietnam the u.s. secretly dropped $270000000.00 bombs on laos in part to cut off north vietnamese supply routes again margaret this plan $90000000.00 or so to help clean up and detonated bombs still in the country what are the details this is $90000000.00 over 3 years to clean up what's called unexploded ordinance these are they look like little balls little kids pick them up and often become victims of these bombs that were dropped nearly 40 years ago in a war that this country was never technically
8:50 pm
a part of up to $80000000.00 of these failed to detonate and just one percent of them have been cleared obama's $90000000.00 for bomb clearance in laos it's not enough we bombed allow so much it is officially the most heavily bombed country per capita in all of human history the $19000000.00 obama pledged at 1st sounds like a lot numbers that everybody talks about that you brought up that are accurate as far as we know that we also know that that is the low estimate of the large numbers of airplanes that were sent to do bombing runs in vietnam for example came back over lost to bases in thailand and on their way back would randomly drop their loads and we have no records once to wherever those lows that were dropped so we don't actually know how much was dropped in the 1st place we know it's more than the numbers that we talk about experts say the president's visit shows that the u.s. is trying to make friends with countries near china to help balance out that nation's growing power in the region because of the problems and because of the lack of

clean up because of the lack of recognition it continues to kill people and trouble this very undeveloped country there are fields that can't be plowed there is land that can't be developed there are children who are walking there. and you weren't even alive during the vietnam war who are missing arms and legs and limbs when we are able to come here and show respect for their culture and recognize. our history . and then point towards a future in which we can work together we will actually have more in force we'll be able to promote our ideals more effectively but that's part of what we've been able to accomplish i think over the last 78 years open up places that previously were closed and engage people in ways that will create.
