I US Congressman ( . This conflict is the concern of every American because: It exacts a tragic toll in human lives It channels our resources to destructive instead of creative deeds A PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT MUST BE REACHED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE: A continuation of the Viet Nam conflict increases the danger of a total war which would be disastrous to the whole human race. In such a war there can be no victors only world destruction. The image of the United States as a nation having humanistic ideals has deteriorated in the eyes of many peoples. Where we were once admired and imitated we are now feared. Once our nation was a dynamic leader in the world, now it is becoming isolated from the conversation and dialogue that constitutes the aspirations of all people. The solution of many of our domestic problems hinge on the peaceful settlement of the Viet Nam conflict. Our economy will remain unstable as long as the conflict drains our resources. Vital domestic programs relating to research, re-search, education, social problems, natural resources and agriculture, will of necessity be postponed. A peaceful settlement in Viet Nam is consistent with our professed objectives and ideals. The United States can take the initiative in bringing about a negotiated peace. AS A COMMITTEE OF CONCERNED AMERICANS WE BELIEVE THAT: Congress should be as concerned about our international relations as it is with our domestic development. The Executive Branch of the Federal Government needs the support and the critique of a concerned Congress. Constitutional provision and legislative responsibility dictates the involvement of both in a critical analysis of all legislation and policy. A current appraisal of our committments overseas is needed. A foreign policy should not be a product of expediency; it must be founded on a premise of justice and compassion for all people. It must be flexible enough to enter into meaningful dialoge and conversation with all people. It must also be firm enough to deter all threats to freedom and to the establishment of an open society. It cannot support dictators, tyrants, or opportunists who maintain power over their fellow citizens by the use of force, simply because they offer our nation privilege and concessions. The youth of America have a large stake in our ability to conclude the war immediately. We cannot leave them an inheritance of human suffering and destruction. We should not expect our armed forces to accomplish what statesmensh ip has failed to do. We do not have the resources of men or material to police the whole world and when we expect this of our military citizens we are asking the impossible. Our foreign policy must reflect this consideration. We believe that a concerned congressman could articulate these positions in the Congress of the United States. Such a man would serve Utah and our nation with distinction. Mr. Stanford R. (Stan) Hall has accepted our request that he allow us to sponsor him as a candidate for Congressman (Second District) from the State of Utah. He is committed to our platform as it has been presented here. We have waited patiently for a candidate to speak to these concerns Mr. Hall has. If you believe as we do, that a responsible approach to our nation's foreign policy is critical, then join us and cast a write-in vote to elect a man who will work for a permanent peace. We feel sure that he will also speak for our local concerns and present them on their own merits independent of other pressures and considerations. We ask your support for STANFORD R. (STAN) HALL, Congressman, Second District. Instructions for casting a write-in ballot are below.
