The Presidents policy holds forth the prospect of young Americans fighting and dying in Vietnam ad infinitum. He has in effect given a blank check to the corrupt Saigon militarist regime for the lives of our men and our resources. The President also expressed the fear that with the sudden collapse of our support a massacre would ensue that would affect the million and a half Catholic refugees who fled to South Vietnam when the Communists took power in the north in 1964. This. despite the fact that the Catholic bishops of Vietnam have asked for an end to the war. This. despite the fact that leading Catholic churchmen and laymen in the United States and throughout the world have expressed their opposition to continuation of our involvement in that immoral. unpopular. undeclared war.
