...important, at the outset, to be clear about the area of adjudication appropriate in this matter. The College has long stood for freedom of expression and must in this case. The University depends for its life blood on the free flow of ideas. Clearly, therefore, it is impossible to protect students from dangerous or unpopular ideas. Their only protection lies in the ability to make fair and clear distinctions and to choose wisely between ideas.

The prime essential, in their view, is to convince the public and Congress that a real crisis exists, and that the Government is genuinely moving to meet it. Passage of even an inadequate energy program, they think, will be an indispensable plus; mistakes and errors can be corrected later, once momentum is established...
