CCCO I An Agency for Military and Draft Counseling
2016 WALNUT STREET PHILADELPHIA / PA 19103 215/568/7971
Dear Friend,
W 10- 7'~&
We are writing to you with a great sense of urgency. Recent
developments - an unravelling cease-fire; the bombing of Cambodia;
Watergate - have provided a climate for moving the public.
Just a few months ago, as you know, people were asking us,
"What are you going to do for work, now that the war and the draft
are over?"
Now people are ready to listen. When Arlo Tatum, our Honorary
Secretary brought suit against the government for military spying
on our work, few but the faithful seemed to notice. Now bugging,
spying, and all the evil fruits of militarism in a free society are
front-page news.
But we must move quickly. Already, the signs of government
counterattack are evident. Trials of anti-war, enlisted POWs may
be only the opening round in a struggle for the mind of the public
over the meaning of the Indochina War.
There could be no better time to remind people that the forces
that helped create an Indochina War are still at work. And that
militarism is a continuing danger, as the appointments of General
Haig as White House Chief of Staff and Melvin Laird as Domestic
Affairs Chief so aptly symbolize.
CCCO is already moving strongly. We are charter members of
the newly formed National Council for Universal and Unconditional
Amnesty. Our role in the amnesty movement, as is usual for CCCO,
will be a dual one.
Like other groups, we will help educate the public, provide
materials, speakers, information and advice for local groups. But
unlike other groups, we will be working concretely to help individuals in need, until such time as there is a complete amnesty.
While we work for amnesty, our Repatriation Project, started a
year ago, is in high gear. Through our contacts with military
counseling groups, GI projects, and groups in Canada, Sweden, and
elsewhere, we are helping those in exile and underground now.
Many of these individuals must return to the U.S. or surface
from underground because of personal, family, or financial difficulties. Others simply cannot continue on the run, or in a constant
state of anxiety. So they turn to CCCO for help.
