Foreign Policy

A motion was then seconded which said that
"city council should take no action on the
matter because it could not entertain foreign
policy matters." Mr. Wright then asked if the
resolution could be retroactive. This question
brought laughter from the audience.

The motion was then passed 4-1 with Mr.
Wright voting no.

After this motion was passed, Mr. Lewis
then asked council to pass a resolution revoking
the "Write Hanoi" resolution. Mr. Van Yahres
heard the motion and said nothing.

After a short pause, the mayor said, "we will
now take up item 6 on the agenda."
