Endorsements

The treaty has already been endorsed by
Student Council, the Union of University
Students, and the Charlottesville Draft
Resistance. The "Conspiracy," however, will
also seek group endorsements from religious
groups, labor unions, and other similar groups.
"We will try," said Mr. Lewis, "to get other
schools to print up and circulate the peace
treaty in their areas."

In effect what the treaty calls for is that the
government of the United States agree to
immediate and total withdrawal from Vietnam
and "end the imposition of Thieu-Ky-Khiem on
the people of South Vietnam in order to insure
their right to self-determination." The treaty
also stipulates that the Vietnamese pledge to
enter discussions to secure the release of all
American prisoners; to form a provisional
coalition government to organize democratic
elections; and to agree to respect the
independence, peace and neutrality of Laos and
Cambodia.
