"In order to atone for our sins
and error in Vietnam, we
should take the initiative in
briDging to an end this tragic
war. I would like to suggest five
concrete things that our govern­
ment should do, immediately, to
begin the long and difficult
process of cUr cting ourselves
from this Digbtmarish conflict.
- End aU bombing of North
and South Vietnam
- Declare a unilateral
cease-fire
- Prevent new b ttlefields
by stopping our build up in
Thailand and La .:
- Accept the fact that the
ational Liberation Front has
considerable support in South
VICtDam d must playa role in
any meaningful negotiations
and in any further Vietnam
gcwemment.
- Set the date when we will
remove all for . tr
Vietnam in acootdanct
1954 Geneva Agreement.
"Meanwhile, we in the chur­
ches and synagogues have a .

our government to dUsorge it­
self from this disgraceful com­
mitment, must continue to
raise our voices, if our nation
persists in its perverse ways in

recognized,

should put some of the

seeking out every creative
means to protest, possib e.
If we had listened.to the mes­
sage rather than kill the m -
senger the world would have
been a different place today.
We would not have continued
to support the Duvalier in
Haiti for more than a quarter of
a century, mobilized the CIA­
b c ed Contras in Nicaragua,
financed the murders of priests,
nuns, and thousand of Sal­
vadorans at a co t of $ one mil­
lion e ch day, supported
Mobutu for twen y-five years
and supported South Africa's
apartheid regime for forty-one
years, just to name a few of the
U.S.'s mis dventure around
the world since King's murder.
There is no more important
matter on King's unfinished
agenda than the que t for world
peace. Tho who are serious
about " eoping The Ore m

actions with words by seeking
