End Draft Law

An effective draft resistance
movement at this time would have
the added benefit of pressuring
Congress not to renew the draft.
The present draft bill expires in
mid-1971, and the Congress is
already under considerable pressure
not to extend the bill. A massive
expression of noncooperation by
the youth of this country would
make extension of the bill
impractical.

Tentatively, solidarity actions
will be organized nationwide for
Saturday, January 9 (a date chosen
because of organizational problems
with earlier dates). The purpose of
these actions will be to bring
together resisters and make as
public as possible the collective
noncooperation.
