The road to peace in IndoeChina is through negotiation and immediate withdrawal of all U.S, troops, The soecalled Vietneamization of the war (Asians fighting Asians) is a2 formila for perpetual conflict, What we must seek is the Vietnamie zation of the peace -= a political settlement which would inciude the formation of a provisional coalition government in which all major political groupings in South Vietnam would be represented, For sixteen years the American Friends Service Committee has struggled to funda- mentally change U.S. policy in Vietnam, The enclosure Give Peace a Chance tells thet story. Also, I am enclosing a fact sheeet which briefly lists some of the program activities on Vietnam and related issues undertaken by the Committee in the Pacific Northwest, ; : However, program activities listed under Section IV of the Fact Sheet can only be undertaken if additional funde are raised, Therefore, we need your financial help, not only to continue our present peace efforts but also to increase our program activities. Please give generously to make this possible, ° We mist do all we can now to bring the killing in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos to an end, aa .

In reaching ovt to find more people who share our concern for peace some duplication is inevitable, short of a prohibitively expensive screening process, We ask your understanding on this matter, =, ae 700 ~M59p- SF
