Cary, Chairperson of the American Friends Service Committee, to President Reagan, Senator Clair- borne Pell, Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Comm., and Rep. Dante Fascell, Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Comm.: Thé American Friends Service Committee views with deep con cern the Iranian missile attack on the U.S. flagged ship and the U.S. naval bombardment in retaliation on the Iranian oil rig in the Gulf. This show of U.S. military strength is the latest vain attempt at a military response to Iranian provocations in the Gulf conflict. Such actions win neither defend human lives nor advance peacemaking. Each military action en courages a spiralling escalation of violence in the name of national prestige. The political appetite for revenge promises increasing hard ship and suffering for the peoples in the Gulf region. The stakes become ever higher as our nation pursues actions that have no achievable policy objectives. The U.S. public and their government must muster the courage to renounce revenge and restore national honor through stopping the spiral of conflict and turning our resources and atten tion to the arduous diplomatic task of peacemaking. Only international, multilateral peacemaking and security arrangements can save our nation and the people of the Middle East from further catastrophe in this war. We call on Congress to insist that the American public can engage in thoughtful debate on appropriate and achievable U.S. policy goals in the Gulf. We call on the American public to press for nOn-military peacemaking remedies. We ap peal to the governments of Iran and Iraq to accept a U.N. facilitated cease fire and subse quent negotiations.
