aid and comfort to the enemy in a battlefield which has claimed
thousands of American lives; and

City support our servicemen in Vietnam and support the President of
the United States in his efforts to achieve a just and honorable peace
in Vietnam;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF

expresses the earnest hope of the people of the United States for such
a peace, calls attention to the numerous peaceful overtures which the
United States has made in good faith toward the Government of North
Vietnam, approves and supports the principles enunciated by the
President that the peiple of South Vietnam are entitled to choose their
own government by means of free elections open to all South Vietnamese
and supervised by an impartial international body, and that the United
States is willing to abide by the results of such elections, and
supports the President in his call upon the Government of North Vietnam
to announce its willingness to honor such elections and to abide by
such results and to allow the issues in controversy to be peacefully
so resolved in order that the war may be ended and peace may be
