At Vertol, helicopters are made for use in the war in Vietnan,
For 25 years, the peovle of Vietnam have sufferad through three
wars, That land has become, by teatimony of both sides, a
testing ground in the Cold War. The people have beon Forced to
endure the brutalities of torture and terror, tha horrors of
bombing, the destruction of homes ane villa: ges, assassinationg,
andi the humiliation of being pawns ina great power struzsle.
Once more war shows itself to be a bankrupt policy. It betrays
ail who rely upon it. It draws the particivants evor deeper
into a quicksand where they commit unspeakable atrocities and
dishonor thelr professed ideals, Behind it ali lurks ths risk
eof a much mere destructive war involving hundreds of millions °
of people,
As an alternative to presont policies, we advocate that:
*% there be an immediato cease fire, and a committment to
unconditional withdrawal of U.S. and alited troops
'. % a conference of all interested powers bs called to insure :
a Vietnam freed of all foreign military interventicn,
with the people of Vietnam deciding their own destiny
% the U.S. offer massive aid to all war victims, North
and South
tall Vietnamese, including the Natienal Liberation Front,
committed to resist social injustice and tyranny, snould
repudiate war as their way of struggle and turn tne present
battles into a gsrug gle against war itself, by enbracing
monviorent resi istance.
To management and workers at Vertol, we maiz this anpeal:
* use Vertol facilities for nonmmilitary preduccion
* if military croduction continues, we urls wore
