PAGE TEN THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1968 ?AG~ TE~ TilE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 15. ~968 WE_________ . ....... . ... r , . ... . ....... ..... s ...... w atement on iet am The undersigned are 27 members of the faculty and 349 students at the University of Michigan Law School. We are opposed to the present policy of the United States in Viet Nam. We do not believe that our nation has any controlling commitments which require us to continue to pursue that policy. We believe that the United States cannot by acceptable means succeed in its attempt to secure and maintain the control of }he Saigon government over the territory of South Viet Nam by military force, and that the continuing expansion of our military involvement in the service of that end creates an unacceptable risk of world war. We believe that the terrible violence the war is inflicting on the people of Viet Nam is destroying the society we seek to protect. We believe that it is wrong and dangerous in these circum- stances to continue to subordinate desperately needed domestic programs to the increasing demands this war is imposing on our nation's resources and moral energies. We reject the suggestion that opposition to the present policy necessarily implies advocacy of a precipitate withdrawal of United States forces or an abandonment of allies in South Viet Nam. We do believe that political and military de-escalation are essential steps towards ending the fighting in Vet Nam. We believe that our country should take urgent steps, in- cluding a prompt reduction in the scope of land and dir operations by American forces, to signify our intention to limit our political and military aims in South Viet Nam. We believe that such steps are an essential precondition for the release of those political forces, both within South Vie+ Nam and internationally, which seek peaceful compromise and the initiation of genuine negotiations. We- believe that lawyers can play a particularly significant role in showing that opposition to the present policy is not limited to a few extremists but comes from many moderate citizens at all levels of society and of all political views. We therefore urge lawyers who share our concern to work for a change in that policy in every legitimate way they can, including, where otherwise appropriate, the suppos t of candidates committed to such a change.
