Many of us Join members of the American Irish Congress today in protesting against Mrs. Thatcher. particularly in regard to those injured In Belfast last August 12. Because the State Department tends to deny visa privileges to those who seek to bring the Irish point of view to our country. our people have been getting a distorted appraisal of what the Thatcher government seeks to do in Ireland. I would urge Mrs. Thatcher to tell the American Congress that she will withdraw British troops from that troubled land and exert her leadership toward beginning negotiations that will peacefully end the fighting in that troubled land.
