9. Literature distribution.
We ley very heavy exphasis on public education and for that reason we have becove
- a major literature distribution point for peace groups throughout the country. In
the last four and a half months, we have sent from this office a quarter of a milli
pieces of literature of the Viet Nam war. In addition to that, since November of
last year, we have sold 9,000 copies of Dorothy Dunbar Broaley's book, Washington
and Vietnam. We believe that this kind of public education needs to happen not
only at a national level bot on « local level where many of you reside as well.

11. Coffin's letter of April 7.
‘ to ffints call for funds please
think seriously sbout it before the summer,
12. Lecal action,
We believe that it is very important for both individuals and local groups of
clergy and laymen to press their representatives in both Houses of Congress to
subscribe to the following points:
1. They will not support a land invasion of North Viet Nam for whatever
reasons the Administration might give.
2. They will not support any use of nuclear weapons.
3. They will not support mining of Haiphong Harbor nor the bombing of
Haiphong for any reason.
&. They will not force a confrontation with Ching, either by air or
ground operations.
5. They will not support indiscriminate terror bombing of North Viet Naz
if and when it should occur,
We believe that groups of clergy and laymen ought to write and visit their
elected representatives to get them to agree to these points as a minimal
contribution to preventing an even greater political, military, and human blunder.
