This Is true at a time when most of us enjoy the benefits of enormous ad vances In the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of health problems. Mental Ill ness Is more prevalent among the poor because fo r them ( the usual pathways to detec tion and treatment are blocked by such things as overcrowding, unemployment, discrimination, lunger, and the other consequences of being poor."

We are disillusioned. Our hopes for a negotiate') settle ment were raised by nu merous promises and fore casts from administrative sources, but have been dashed by r e w and more terrible attrition followlngeachbreak down of the Peace Talks In P a ris . We are repelled by any thought o r claim that the con tinuation of our role In V iet nam brings honor to our country. on tie contrary, we believe that our continuing Involvement Is eroding not only our standing among other nations, but also those ideals which represent tie hest In our heritage.

M ay God give you wisdom and courage to stand for what Is m orally right. We have had enough of misguided i leas of national honor and would not sacrifice for a slogan one more life, whether A m eri can or Vietnamese.
