To the Representatives of the
Peoples' Democratic Republic
of North Viet Nam
(Viet-Nam Dan-chu Cong-Hoa):

Honorable Ministers and Counselors of The Diet,

American bicycle mechanics gave the world the aircraft, which may grant authority for an apology and a proposal to alleviate your recent grief and present difficulty. B52's, F111's, and F4's among many others are products of our American Aerospace Technology. They have numerous components of Titanium, the light, strong, non-corroding metal which was also a crucial component of the Apollo craft that reached the moon at a cost of twenty billion dollars. It will also become a component of the B1 Bomber, which your continued success in downing B52's will continue to show the necessity of building at a cost to the United States of America of twelve billion dollars.

All this has left the American Titanium Industry with a huge surplus of scrap Titanium which will continue to grow, since there is an ample supply of sponge, or virgin ore available for all presently envisioned production, and contract for all aircraft production specifies virgin metal. There are hills of Titanium scrap throughout America, even as there are small deposits in your country where American aircraft have crashed.

At least two large American Titanium suppliers, Martin-Marrieta and Timet, have the present capability of pouring ingots of Reclamation Alloy, 80% Titanium and 20% Aluminum, Vanadium, Silver, Tin, and other scrap metals in random mixture of controlled properties as light, strong, non-corroding and workable as commercially pure Titanium for building what I have to offer you.

The Taurus (the name is drawn from the toric transmission) Titanium Bicycle is Pewter, or soft-silvery colored with gunmetal blue cranks and trim. The construction, brazed lug and tube with Steel and Duraluminum accessories, is true from plumb mast tube. The frame and fork, of the above Reclamation Alloy of Titanium, are vacuum brazed with Galium, Barium and Silver in Alpha-Beta considered localized process, stress-relieved after leeching, flexionally tempered, polished in four stages and glass-beaded as a unit. There is no tonic frame reflex as all restressed lug angles are considered for this effect after stress relieving. The toric is in a balanced pod behind the crank in the right stay. The driveshaft is counterset to eliminate stay lag and the crown is calibrated to compensate fork wander.

The toric, or infinitely variable transmission, perfected by General Motors' New Departure Division in the 1930's from a U.S. patent which expired in 1926 but never produced as derailleurs were cheaper (10-speeds), is a simple, dust-proof, friction drive unit without slip or need for complex adjustment. Although 2% less efficient than block chain drive, it has a constant variability of from 2½ under to 2½ over direct drive. This ranges from below an Alpine bicycle to nearly a Motorpace bicycle. ½:1 - 7:1 with smooth variation is the ultimate range of a bicycle. General Motors' 1969 Turbine Bus utilized a toric transmission.

The Taurus is manufactured from computerized components according to measurement information from a modified version of the Bertillon system of bone measurement used to identify criminals before fingerprinting. The Taurus fits the adult rider as few bicycles ever have.

With a weight of 17 pounds, the Taurus is still strong enough for any use. All-aluminum accessories are anodized dark blue to match the Saltwater-Blueing of the 240,000 psi heat-treated steel cranks. The Titanium rims of the wheels are heavier than Aluminum, but have greater lateral stability. Spoke nipples are Steel, spokes Titanium, hubs, handlebars, and stems Aluminum and bearings, toric, and headsets are Steel. The Nylon-weave saddle is a direct descendant of Nylon nets slipped over the heart in open-heart surgery. The lightness and slim line of the saddle still allow the comfort of wider sprung-cushion units. There is no paint or plating on the Taurus except for the gold emblem on the head tube.

In Paris your representatives will have access to the following gentlemen, independent custom bicycle builders of the highest skill and integrity who may confirm for you the probable quality, utility, and longevity of the Taurus from the above description:

Rene Herse, Av. Anatole-France, 92 Levallois
A. Singer, 53 Rue Victor Hugo, 92 Levallois
Bertin Andre, 6 Rue Roger Salengro, 62 St. Laurent Blangy

Such a bicycle in widespread use would quite obviously improve the public health and strength, ease urban congestion, bolster the economy, and conserve the energy resources and environment of any country. You may judge what two and a half million such bicycles manufactured for the adult population of North Viet Nam would accomplish for your country.

The Taurus assembly plant in Minneapolis employs workers aged 65 and over for 95% of its labor. The United States does not revere its elders as some nations have, yet older workers do work comparable to any younger groups as Taurus shall demonstrate.

Since they are not out to beat the world, but only to do a job for something they can believe in and for income from twenty hours of labor each week to allow them comfort and self-respect in the latter phase of their careers, America's elder labor force and scrap Titanium aren't used and won't be missed. The monies spent, about two hundred

and fifty million dollars, most to Titanium suppliers and subcontractors
in the Aerospace Industry, will only help shift concentration from war
fabrication.

Your great success in gauging American character and conscience
is appreciated. If you will return to American hands the downed aircraft,
we will make bicycles of them for you; if you will return the American
military personnel now on your soil to American hands, you will allow
America enough face to make this gesture to you. A Frenchman named Sartre
said gestures are empty things, but you might find this gesture filled
with power for your future.

Referring to power points up that human energy is one form of
energy that is not imperiled by use, but rather potentially increased.
The energy of your people must be a basic reason for your success in
warfare.

Rollers which fit under a bicycle's wheels while it is ridden
balanced stationary by gyroscopic effect, if fitted to lightweight gener-
ators, can produce an astonishing amount of electrical energy in fifteen-
minute phases.

Strong, 2" by 6" wooden-framed roller sets of finely balanced
Titanium could be built by Taurus in Tennessee in old unused furniture
plants. 100 million Americans on bicycle-driven roller-generators could
supply the needs of the world for stationary electrical applications for
fifteen minutes through feedback from dwellings to power plants. They
would be considered fine furniture in America, but I wonder what 2¼
million such generators could provide your country utilizing direct
current and elementary storage and relay facilities.

At this point in time, do you feel that there is much left to
be gained from the American military personnel upon your soil, particularly
as the effect has been diluted somewhat by the recent addition of nearly
a hundred more?

John F. Kennedy, who ten years ago explained that the neutrality
of India is what the fight in Viet Nam was all about, also set the modern
precedent for exchange of property for mislaid warriors in the tractor
exchange for Bay of Pigs insurgents with the Castro Government.

These bicycles, the finest in human history, could be delivered
to you within six months from the date your country is relieved of Ameri-
can military personnel.

In the Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant religions, which cover
a great deal of the psychological vulnerability with which you are familiar
in America, there are two Biblical quotations which keep popping up. One
is something about the exchange of eyes for eyes and teeth for teeth and
the other concerns beating swords into plowshares. You might think about
that through a few sleeps. The legality of a war does not seem to be as
interesting a question as the solution of a war, nor nearly as irritating,
particularly to a people who fought and re-fought a revolution, had a

T TB

terrible civil war of their own, engaged in two successive worldwide slaughters and enough police actions to now reflexively support them, having experienced the alternatives. You usually have to lose a war with the United States of America to receive any benefit from it. Let this be an atonement, and you could make much of it beyond the enormous obvious physical help in remaking your injured land. One concrete paving company in America can pave 13,000 lineal feet of 9' thick by 24' wide reinforced concrete slab in one day. This would convert to about ten kilometers of four-foot-wide rainproof bicycle path in your country.

It is awkward that you must consider capitalism unfair, dehumanizing and eventually boring while Americans must consider communism unfair, dehumanizing, and eventually boring. This leads to savage misconceptions about who should violently overthrow whom to relieve the ennui. I will not ask you to be reasonable for I would not deny you the freedom to be irresponsible, although I believe freedom to be the greatest responsibility, which I am afraid is the feeling which has caused our bombers to continue flying over your land. This causes more anguish than you know, but less confusion than you believe, in America.

Although I speak as Wind to the Water, I hope that you will hear me.

Hochwerten Herrn Präsidenten der U.N.O.

Dr. Kurt Waldheim

zur Bearbeitung und Befürwortung von höchster politisch-
internationaler Sicht aus, damit in Hinkunft solches und ähnliches Unrecht
vermeidbar wird.

Da gerade zur heurigen Weihnachts-u.Nejujahrszeit, wie ehedem,
von einem christlichen Staatenbund Unmengen von Bomben auf Zivile Objekte
fielen, will auf diese Greuel hinweisend, in Erinnerung bringen, dass viel
noch nicht wieder hergestellt ist, was seinerzeit zerstört wurde.

Die Kosten eines einzigen Bombenfluges in Vietnam könnten aber
dieses und viele andere Bauvorhaben des Wiederaufbaues ermöglichen-Russland
könnte man nicht darum bitten da es niemals Bomben warf.

Wie aus meiner Anlage ersichtlich macht zudem das christlich-
ste Land, das in Seiner Heiligkeit den Vater aller Christen stellt und im-
mer stellte, Gesetze die nicht von christlicher Mächstenliebe zeugen, sondern
strenge nationale Grenzen ziehen und nicht einmal Blutverwandtschaft in der
Forderung der Ansprüche gelten lassen.

Ich bin mir natürlich vollkommen bewusst, dass auch in Süd-
tirol eine Art "Deutsch-Südt.Maffia" exestiert die wohl durch Giessen der
Glocken in Innsbruck nach Aussen hin Tiroler Aufrichtigkeit und Ehrlichkeit
bezeugen möchte, in ihrem Tun und Handeln aber weit davon entfernt ist.
Dies sollte aber nicht nachteilige Auswirkungen für meinen Fall haben.

Es scheint vielleicht vermessen als Einzelperson durch lange
Jahre hindurch mit Viel Zeit und Kostenaufwand für mehr Menschlichkeit und
Gerechtigkeit hinzuarbeiten, aber wenn so viel Schlechtes in der Welt er-
laubt ist mitunter sogar gefördert belobigt und ausgezeichnet wird muss
meiner Ansicht nach das Gute zumindest gebilligt und erlaubt sein.

So bitte um wohlwollende Bearbeitung bei allen Stellen wo
unter anderen lt.meiner Hinweise bereits die Akten aufliegen und erbitte
nach Möglichkeit um eine Benachrichtigung.

Hochachtungsvollst

Nel caso che riguarda la S.V. - al momento del danno, invero, l'originaria titolare, ora defunta, era cittadina italiana.

Per causa di morte però la pretesa al risarcimento è stata trasferita alla S.V. cittadino austriaco, che, come tale, deve ritenersi decaduto dalla pretesa alla provvivenza.

In der Sie betreffenden Angelegenheit war die ursprüngliche, nunmehr verewigte Besitzerin im Augemblick des Schadens zwar italienische Staatsbürgerin, doch ist deren Anspruch durch ihr Ableben auf Sie übergegangen, und da Sie österreichischer Staatsbürger sind, ist dieser Anspruch als verfallen anzusehen.

LINES FROM VIET NAM

The following verses are the joint effort of "the guys of the Third Bn.
9th Marines, 3rd Marine Division", and were received from the scene of action
by Mr. & Mrs. Gayle L. Alvey, Sandy, Utah, parents of PFC Gayle Douglas Abvey,
one of "the guys".

You sit at home and watch TV
And sip a glass of cold iced tea.
The news comes on, and then you hear
The all-star game is drawing near.
And then you see a far-off land
Where men are dying in the sand.
A frown appears across your face--
You're tired of hearing about that place.
"Who cares 'bout Viet Nam across the sea?
It's far away and doesn't concern me."
You'd rather hear the Beatles play
Than learn about the world today.

It's great to be alive and free
--Forget that guy across the sea!

He's far away waging a war
To keep the fight from my front door.
This guy who lives in filth and slime--
How can he do it all the time/
You lucky guy, you laugh and sneer
But have you ever known real fear?
This fellow faces death each day
Yet still has something light to say.

No mail today...a wave of sorrow--
Then, "What the heck! There's always tomorrow".

He walks all day, stands watch at night;
He's tired and sick but has to fight.
The college crowd thinks he's a fool,
But that's what makes him hard and cruel.
Do you appreciate what he'll do--
Like giving up his life for you?
Yet he asks nothing in return,
So you can stay in school and learn.
The days are hot--the nights are too
What wonders a letter from home can do!
He dreams of a nice thick juicy steak
Then someone yells, "There's a hill to take!"

Some will be heroes, 'cause they're brave
Others will earn a wreath-decked grave.

You'll spot him as he passes by--
There's sad but proud look in his eye.
He's called the world's best war machine--
He is--a United States Marine!

HAPPINESS

There are so many things to be happy about.

The scriptures tell us, "Man is that he might have joy". And, by obedience to the laws and commandments of God, we will find peace and contentment and happiness in this life and salvation in the life to come.

When laws are broken, there is only sorrow and regret.

Happiness means love of God, of fellow man, of honest toil, of the beauties of nature, of good books, in fact, of all the fine things of life. The joy that comes from service, helping those in need, or giving a smile.

Happiness is the object of our existence and comes from virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, and holiness and in doings one's duty every-day as we have the opportunity.

Happiness does not come through any mere forms and ceremonies. It has to be planned for, often times suffered for.

We should find happiness in the little everyday things of life. In our work, in the glorious sunset, in the joy of sincere friendship, the clasp of a hand shake, the trust of a little child, the wisdom of age, the love of man and wife and family, the ecstasy of sweet music, the song of a bird, the murmur of the pines, or the sound of rippling water.

There is joy everywhere as we see the handiwork of God. But, the greatest happiness comes from the Lord and in keeping His commandments, in activity in a church, in just being pure and sweet and holy, so that his spirit may dwell within us, so that we may be an influence for good in the world.

It is important to be kind and honest and tolerant. Then will come strength and power and true happiness in this life and Eternal reward hereafter.

STATEHOOD FOR SOUTH VIETNAM

(THE POLKA DOT STATE)

IF WE COULD LOOK DOWN ON SOUTH VIETNAM FROM THE SKY AND
SEE THE POOLS OF BLOOD THAT HAVE BEEN SPILLED BY VIETNAMESE AND
AMERICANS "SO THAT THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE CAN ACHIEVE SELF
DETERMINATION", THEN THIS LAND MUST TRULY LOOK LIKE A POLKA DOT.

ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTION, "HOW CAN THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE ACHIEVE SELF DETERMINATION (THE RIGHT TO VOTE FREELY) IN ANY OTHER WAY EXCEPT AS FREE AMERICAN CITIZENS LIVING IN THE SOVEREIGN STATE OF SOUTH VIETNAM?"

IF YOU ARE ANOTHER AMERICAN WHO BELIEVES THAT THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE HAVE EARNED STATEHOOD MORE THAN ANY OTHER STATE IN OUR HISTORY: AND IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT THAT OTHERWISE, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WILL HAVE SERVED, WILL HAVE FOUGHT, BEEN WOUNDED, BEEN CAPTURED, AND EVEN SPILLED THEIR LIFES BLOOD IN A POLKA DOT POOL IN VAIN "SO THAT THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE CAN ACHIEVE SELF DETERMINATION"; ........................ THEN YOU ARE ANOTHER AMERICAN WHO WILL ....................................

1. WEAR POLKA DOT AND DISPLAY POLKA DOT TO SHOW YOU SUPPORT STATEHOOD FOR SOUTH VIETNAM AS THE POLKA DOT STATE.

2. DISTRIBUTE OR MAIL COPIES OF THIS CONVICTION.

3. CHANT "WHY NOT? POLKA DOT ............ WHY NOT? POLKA DOT ............ WHY NOT? POLKA DOT ............ WHY NOT? POLKA DOT ............"

Any individual or non-profit organization who desires to copy
this STATEHOOD FOR SOUTH VIETNAM copyrighted conviction in its
entirety are hereby granted the right. (All others are directed
