...part in the ravagement of Indochina and the sacrifice of Asian and American lives can never be explained away by our willing support of a string of corrupt regimes. Now that the fighting is about to stop, we must urge Congress to turn off the military pipeline to Thieu, to insist on the release of political prisoners, and to prevent further American intervention in the political future of Vietnam...
