think that this letter 4s similar to many letters received by parents of GI's who are presently fighting in Vietnan. You will note that this reprint is available from our office here in New York in quantities. Newsletter, p.3. 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. 10. Mailing list. If by chance you are getting duplicate mailings please let us mow. Also, if you know of persons whom you know might be interested in being placed on our mailing list let us know, 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.
