KISSINGER, HENRY A.

To HAK from MICHAEL RAUCH date July 31, 1973

Dear Mr. Kissinger,

I am aware from the press that you will in September visit your
birthplace Furth.

This note awoke in my memory my school time. I was in the year 1903
and visited (ie, attended) the Albert Durer Elementary School. As 1918
brought the Revolution, I was in the 6th class (ie, grade) & the Revolution
days are to me a situation still very good (ie, alive) in memory.

We were in Mathematics hour as suddenly the door was opened & 2 students went up to the teacher's table. Professor Schmid stood near me & we heard the suggestion of one of the two students. He had red-brown hair & spoke, as the representative (perhaps meant as the student speaker) of the middle school of Furth & Nurnberg, about the new opportunities that the Revolution brought ( made available?) to students. This discussion was short & hard.

It seems to me that this fiery youth was named Kissinger & came from Furth.

Was this young man, who today must be about 70 years old, your father or uncle?

As my memory is dark (ie, dim), had your parents a Jewish?

Thus you see that your name here is not well known only from politics, but also from other personal (perhaps - experiences).

For your brief stop in the Federal Republic, I wish you today everything the best.

Sehr geehrter Herr Kissinger,

wie ich aus der Presse erfahre, werden Sie im September
Ihre Vaterstadt Fürth besuchen.

Diese Notiz erweckte in mir Erinnerungen aus meiner Schulzeit.
Ich bin Jahrgang 1903 und besuchte in Nürnberg die Albrecht
Dürer Realschule. Als 1918 die Revolution ausbrach, besuchte
ich die 6.Klasse und aus den Revolutionstagen ist mir eine
Situation noch sehr gut in Erinnerung.

Wir hatten Mathematik-Stunde, als plötzlich die Türe aufgerissen wurde und 2 Schüler an den Lehrertisch gingen. Der Professor Schmid stand neben mir und wir hörten den Vortrag eines der beiden Schüler. Er hatte rotbraunes Haar und sprach als Vorsitzender des damaligen Schülerrates der Oberschulen von Fürth und Nürnberg über die neuen Errungenschaften der Revolution für die Schulen. Es sollte keine Abschlussprüfung mehr geben und ähnliche überholte Vorstellungen. Die anschliessende Diskussion war kurz, aber hart.

Es stellte sich danach heraus, dass der feurige Jüngling Kissinger
hiess und aus Fürth stammte.

War dieser junge Mann, der heute an die 70 Jahre alt sein müsste,
Ihr Vater oder Onkel? Wenn ich mich noch dunkel erinnere, hatten
seine Eltern eine jüdische Metzgerei.

Sie sehen also, dass Ihr Name hier bei uns seine Bekanntschaft
nicht nur aus der Politik, sondern auch aus anderen persönlichen
Quellen herrührt.

Für Ihren Aufenthalt in der Bundesrepublik wünsche ich Ihnen
heute schon alles Gute.

Mit freundlichem Gruss!

GENERAL PATTON'S SPEECH

[w]

Major Gen. cook then introduced Lt. Gen. William H. Simpson, whose Fourth Army was still in the United States preparing for their own voyage across the sea to the front. General Simpson spoke only briefly. "We are here," he said, "to listen not to me, but to the words of a great man, a great leader, whom you will all follow. A man who will lead you into whatever is to be faced with heroism, ability and foresight. A man who has proven himself many times amid shot and shell. My fondest hope is that someday soon I will have the privilege of bringing my own army across to fight beside his."

General Patton arose and stepped swiftly to the microphone. The men shot to their feet and stood silently. Patton surveyed the sea of brown grimly - "Be seated." The words were not a request but a sharp command. Then his voice rose high and clear:

"Men - this stuff some sources sling around about America wanting out of the war, not wanting to fight, is a lot of bull shit. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. When you here, every man Jack of you, were kids, you all admired the champion marble player, the fastest runner, the handiest kid with his fists, the big league ball players, the All-American football players. Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all the time and every time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war, for the very thought of losing is hateful to an American."

The general paused and looked over the crowd. "You are not all going to die," he said slowly, "Only two percent of you right here today would die in a major battle. Death must not be feared. Death, in time comes to all. Yes, every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he isn't he's a Goddam liar. Some men are cowards, yes, but they fight just the same or get hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared. Some get over their fright in a minute under fire - for others it takes an hour - for some it takes days, but the real man never lets fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country and to his manhood. All through your army careers you men have bitened about what you call "Chicken-shit drill." That, like everything else in the army is for a definite purpose -OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS AND TO CREATE CONSTANT ALERTNESS. This must be bred into every man. I don't give a damn for a man who is not always on his toes. You men are veterans, or you wouldn't be here. You are ready for what is to come. A man, to continue breathing must be alert at all times. If not, someday some German son-of-a-bitch will sneak up behind him and beat him to death with a sock full of shit!"

The men roared. That expression was to become famous in days to come all over England, France, and even into Germany itself among men of the Third Army, as were many things the General said on this memorable morning.

Patton's grim expression remained unchanged. "There are 400 neatly marked graves somewhere in Sicily," he roared, "All because one man went to sleep on the job." He paused and the men grew silent. "But they are German graves." He continued softly, "For we caught the bastard asleep before his officers did." The General grasped the microphone tightly, his jaw outthrust. "An army is a team. Lives, sleeps, eats and fights as a team. This individual heroic stuff is a lot of shit. The bilious bastards who write that kind of stuff for the Saturday Evening Post don't know any more about real fighting under fire than they do about fucking." The men slapped their legs and rolled in glee. The shrill delighted howls of a negro outfit carried above all. This was Patton as the men had imagined him. He was in rare form. He hadn't let them down. He was all he was cracked up to be. He had it.

"We have the best food, the finest equipment, the best spirit and the best fighting men in the world." Patton bellowed. The men roared. Then the General lowered his head and shook it pensively. Suddenly he snapped erect, faced the men belligerently, "Why by God!" he thundered, "I actually pity those sons-of-bitches we're going up against. By God, I do." The men clapped and howled in glee. There would be many a bar-racks tale about the "Old Man's" choice phrases. They would become part and parcel of Third Army history and become the bible of their slang.

"My men don't surrender," Patton went on, "I don't want to hear of any soldier under my command being captured unless he's been hit. Even if you are hit you can still fight. That's not just bull shit, either. The kind of man I want under me is the lieutenant, who in Libya, with a slug in his chest, jerked off his helmet, swept the gun aside with one hand and busted hell out of the boche with it. He then jumped on the gun and went out and killed another german before he knew what the hell was coming off. All that time this man had a bullet through his lung! There was a man!"

All the real heroes are not story book combat fighters either. Every single man in the Army plays a vital part. Don't ever let down, thinking your role unimportant. Every man has a job to do. Every man is a link in the great chain. What if every truck driver decided that he didn't like the wine of those shells overhead, turned yellow and jumped headlong into the ditch? This bird could say to himself, "Hell they won't miss me - Just one guy in millions!" What if every man thought that? Where in the hell would we be now. What would our country, our loved ones, our homes, even the world, be? No - Thank God - Americans don't think like that. Every man does his job. Every man serves the whole. Every department, every unit, is important in the vast scheme of this war. The ordnance men are needed to supply the guns and machinery of war to keep us rolling. The Quartermaster to bring up food and clothes, for where we're going there isn't a hell of a lot to steal. Every damn last man in the mess hall, even the one who heats the water to keep us from getting the GI snits, has a job to do.
Patton paused and half turned to the officers behind him, "Even

the Chaplain, he said whimsically, is important, for if we got killed and he wasn't there to bury us, we'd all go to hell. Each man must not think only of himself but of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go back home after the war and breed more cowards. The brave man will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddam cowards and we'll have a nation of brave men!"

The vast hillside stirred and thought of these words. Patton's personal banner, a great scarlet devil's head in a white field waved triumphantly in the morning breeze - the banner that was to become the scourge of Central France and Germany to thousands of the Battling Boche.

"One of the bravest men I ever knew was in the African campaign, one fellow I saw on top of a telegraph pole in the midst of furious fire while we were plowing toward Tunis. I stopped and asked what the hell he was doing up there at that time. He answered, 'Fixing the wire, sir.' 'Isn't it a little unhealthy right now?' I asked. 'Yes, sir, but this Goddam wire's got to be fixed.' There was a real soldier. There was a man who devoted all he had to his duty, no matter how great the odds, no matter how seemingly insignificant his duty might appear at the time. You should have seen those trucks on the road to Gabes. The drivers were magnificent! All day and all night they rolled over those son of a bitchin' roads, never stopping, never faltering from their course, with shells bursting around them all the time. We got through on good old American guts. Many of these men drove over forty consecutive hours. These men weren't combat men, but they were soldiers with a job to do. They did it - and in a whale of a way they did it. They were part of a team. Without them the fight would have been lost. All the links in the chain pulled together and that chain became unbreakable."

The General paused, staring challengingly out over the silent sea of men. One could have heard a pin drop anywhere on that vast hillside. The only sound was the stirring of the breeze in the leaves of bordering trees and the busy chirping of birds in the branches at the General's left.

"Don't forget" Patton barked, "You don't know I'm here. No word for that fact is to be mentioned in any letters. The world is not supposed to know what the hell became of me. I'm not supposed to be commanding this army. I'm not even supposed to be in England. Let THE FIRST BASTARDS TO FIND OUT BE THE GODDAM GERMANS! Some day I want them to raise up on their hind legs and howl 'Jesus Christ!, it's the Goddam Third Army and that son-of-a-bitch Patton again.'"

The men howled their approval and muttered delightedly to themselves. Even then they did not realize the deep prophecy in these words and that they were to become famous throughout the rest of the European war, when the Third Army moved like a searing flame down the Normandy Peninsula, through Central France and on into Germany under a veil of secrecy imposed by ETOUSA because even the Germans themselves never knew just how far Patton had penetrated by day in one of the greatest offensive campaigns in the history of warfare. Instinctively the men sensed the possibility of this and appreciated the rich drama behind the words back on the calm English country side. They would never forget them and many a time in some battlefield they would be remembered.

"We want to go the hell over there," Patton continued, "We want to go home. We want this thing over with. But you can't win a war lying down! The quicker we clean up this Goddam mess the quicker we can take a jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean their nest out too be-for the Marines get all the Goddam credit."

The men roared. Patton went on more quietly. "Sure we all want to be home. We want this thing over with. The quickest way to get it over is to get the bastards. The quicker they are whipped, the quicker

we go home. The shortest way home is through Berlin!!! When a man is
lying in a shell hole, if he just stays there all day a Boche will get
him eventually, and the hell with that idea. The hell with taking it!
My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them to. Foxholes only slow
up an offensive. Keep moving! And don't give the enemy time to dig
one! We'll win this war but we'll win it only by fighting and by show-
ing the Germans we've got more guts than they have!"

His eagle-like eyes swept over the hillside - There's one great
thing you men will all be able to say when you go home," he said tersely,
"You may all thank God for it. Thank God that at least thirty years
from now when you are sitting around the fireside with your grandson on
your knees and he asks you what you did in the great war, you won't
have to cough and say "I shoveled shit in Louisiana."

THE END

ADDRESS BY REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAM R. ANDERSON

(D) TENNESSEE - 68TH ANNUAL CONVENTION, NAVY

LEAUGE OF THE UNITED STATES - MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE

(LIFE MEMBERS BREAKFAST - THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1970)

I FELL A DISTINCT SENSE OF PRIDE THAT THE NAVY LEAGUE HAS SELECTED MY HOME STATE FOR ITS SIXTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION.

THOUGH WE ARE ALMOST EQUIDISTANT FROM THE TWO GREAT OCEANS, TENNESSEE IS A STATE WITH SOME RATHER SOLID MARITIME CONNECTIONS. THE GREAT MISSISSIPPI WATERWAY CONNECTS US TO THE GULF, AND ALREADY AUTHORIZED FOR CONSTRUCTION IS THE TENNESSEE - TOMBIGBEE WATERWAY WHICH WILL PROVIDE A DEEP CHANNEL SLACK WATERWAY CONNECTING THE GREAT TENNESSEE AND OHIO RIVER NETWORKS DIRECTLY WITH THE GULF AND THE PROTS OF THE WORLD. WHEN THIS WATERWAY IS COMPLETED, PERHAPS TEN YEARS HENCE, WE EXPECT ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF GREAT PROPORTION.

NOR ARE WE WITHOUT MARITIME TRADITION. MATHEW FONTAINE MAURY, THE "PATHEFINDER OF THE SEAS" WAS A TENNESSEAN AND I AM PROUD TO COUNT MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE AMONG THOSE COUNTIES I AM PRIVILEGED TO REPRESENT. ADMIRAL DAVID GLASGOW FARRAGUT WAS ALSO A TENNESSEAN.

PERHAPS YOU HAVE WONDERED WHY WE ARE CALLED "THE VOLUNTEER STATE"? THIS GOES TO THE WAR OF 1812 AND THE MEXICAN WAR. IN THE LATTER INSTANCE, TENNESSEE WAS ASKED TO PROVIDE 2,800 VOLUNTEERS. THIRTY THOUSAND RESPONDED. IT IS SIGNIFICANT ALSO THAT THE FIRST AMERICAN CASUALTY IN VIETNAM WAS A TENNESSEAN.

BUT, OVER AND ABOVE THOSE FACTORS, TEHER IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I FEEL THE NAVY LEAGUE ACTED APPROPRIATELY IN SELECTING MEMPHIS AS THE SITE OF THIS CURRENT CONVENTION. ONCE, AND EVEN TO A CONSIDERABLE EXTENT NOW, THE

PRINCIPLE MARITIME INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATE WERE RESTRICTED TO THE PORTS AND NAVAL AND SHIPBUILDING CENTERS ALONG OUR COASTS. AS A RESULT, THE UNITED STATES HAS NEVER TRULY BEEN A MARITIME NATION IN THE SENSE OF AN ENGLAND, AN ITALY OR A GREECE. WE SIMPLY HAVE NOT BEEN OCEAN-MINDED. TO MOST AMERICANS, THE SEA HAS BEEN MERELY A MATTER OF ENJOYING SURF AND SAND.

UNTIL RECENT YEARS, THE SAME WAS TRUE OF THE SOVIET UNION. BUT THERE IS ONE IMPORTANT, DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE SOVIET UNION. THE SOVIET UNION ENJOYS A STRATEGIC POSITION AND DIMENSION LAND-WISE FAR SUPERIOR TO OUR OWN. ONE WOULD EXPECT THAT IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF EVENTS THE SOVIET UNION WOULD CONTINUE MERELY TO EXPLOIT ITS LAND ADVANTAGES, WHILE THE UNITED STATES, VIRTUALLY AN OCEAN ISLAND BLESSED WITH NUMEROUS FINE HARBORS, WOULD SEEK TO FURTHER ENHANCE ITS POWER AND SUPREMACY AT SEA.

THE STARTLING AND DANGEROUS FACT, OBVIOUS TO ALL HERE, IS THAT JUST THE OPPOSITE IS TAKING PLACE. OUR MARITIME STRENGTH AND VITALITY HAVE DWINDLED RAPIDLY, WHILE THAT OF THE SOVIETS HAS TAKEN ON A DIMENSION OF STARTLING PROPORTIONS. IT IS QUITE MANIFEST THAT THE SOVIETS ARE MAKING AN ALL-OUT EFFORT TO NEUTRALIZE AMERICA AT SEA. WITH OUR FAR-FLUNG ALLIANCES AND OUR DEPENDENCE ON SEA COMMERCE, IF THE SOVIETS SUCCEED IN THEIR GREAT MARITIME THRUST, WE SHALL REACH A POTENTIALLY DISASTEROUS IMBALANCE OF POWER BECAUSE THEIR FAVORABLE LAND POSITION ALREADY WEIGHS HEAVILY ON THE BALANCE SCALES. THIS CURRENT CONVENTION CAN AND SHOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT IN THE HISTORY OF THE NAVY LEAGUE. I HAVE SEEN THE PRELIMINARY DRAFTS OF THE RESOLUTIONS WE HAVE UNDER CONSIDERATION. THE KEY WORD IS "EDUCATION" - "EDUCATION" OF

(2)

EVERY SEGMENT OF AMERICAN SOCIETY TO THE TREAT FACING US AT SEA, AND TO THE URGENT NEED TO GET GOING AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. BY CHARTER, SUCH IS THE ROLE OF THE NAVY LEAGUE, AND THE ORGANIZATION CAN BE VERY EFFECTIVE IN THAT REGARD, BUT THE EFFORTS MUST BE TRIPLED OR QUADRUPLED.

I THINK THE LEAGUE HAS BEEN TOO MUCH WORRIED ABOUT BEING ACCUSE OF BEING A LOBBYING ORGANIZATION. I DON'T THINK EDUCATING STUDENTS, CITIZENS, OR EVEN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO THE NEED FOR A NEW DAY OF AMERICAN MARITIME SUPREMACY CAN BE CALLED LOBBYING. I CALL IT PATRIOTISM!

AND, MAY I SUGGEST THAT ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES TO START THE EDUCATION PROCESS IS AMONG SOME OF THE REMAINING PSEUDO-INTELLECTUAL WHIZ KIDS WHO SOMEHOW ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE AND JUDGEMENT SUPERIOR TO ALL THE ADMIRALS AND GENERALS COMBINED MERELY BY THE STROKE OF A PEN ON A CERTIFICATE OF APPOINTMENT.

THERE ARE SOME HOPEFUL SIGNS THAT THE PENDULUM IS STARTING TO SWING BACK. I AM ENCOURAGED BY WHAT THE PRESIDENT AND THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE HAVE HAD TO SAY ABOUT NEW NAVAL AND MERCHANT SHIPBUILDING POLICIES. I SINCERELY HOPE THEIR WORDS ARE MATCHED BY THE NECESSARY ACTION TO GET GOING IMMEDIATELY TO REPLACE OUR BATTERED, WORN OUT NAVY AND AMERICAN FLAG MERCHANT SHIPS WITH UNITS THAT ARE FAST, EFFECTIVE AND THE WORLD'S BEST. THOUGH THERE IS SOME VERY VOCAL OPPOSITION IN CONGRESS, I BELIEVE YOU CAN RELY ON CONGRESS ACTING IN A NON-PARTISAN MANNER TO AUTHORIZE AND FUND EVERY SHIP REQUESTED - AND MORE.

(3)

I AM ALSO ENCOURAGED BY THE APPOINTMENT OF ADMIRAL TOM MOORER TO BE
NEXT CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF. THIS GENTLEMAN UNDERSTANDS
SEA POWER FROM A TO Z.

TODAY'S GREAT ISSUE IS OUR MOVEMENT INTO CAMBODIA. IF THIS OPERATION
IS HANDLED PROPERLY, QUICKLY AND DECISIVELY SO AS TO NOT LEAD TO FURTHER
INDO-CHINA INVOLVEMENTS BY AMERICAN TROOPS - IF IT IN FACT HELPS ASSURE
A FASTER VIETNAMIZATION OF THE WAR - I AM ALL FOR IT. MAYBE WE SHOULD
HAVE DONE IT LONG AGO. I THINK IT IS MORALLY AND MILITARILY IMPERATIVE
THAT THE UNITED STATES NEVER AGAIN SEND EVEN A SINGLE AMERICAN SERVICEMAN
INTO BATTLE WITH ONE HAND TIED BEHIND HIS BACK.

THERE IS ANOTHER STEP WE OUGHT TO TAKE TO UNTIE THE STRINGS THAT BIND
AMERICAN AD SOUTH VIETNAMESE TROOPS WITH A VIEW TOWARD MORE RAPID VIETNAMI-
ZATION OF THE WAR AND EARLIEST POSSIBLE RETURN OF OUR LAND COMBAT TROOPS.

SEVENTY PERCENT OF ALL IMPORTS INTO NORTH VIETNAM, WHETHER BY LAND,
SEA OR AIR - 70% OF ALL COME THROUGH HAIPHONG HARBOR. NINETY-FIVE PERCENT
OF ALL OIL AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS COME THROUGH THERE AND EVERYONE HERE
KNOWS HOW SIGNIFICANT THIS IS TO A WAR EFFORT. ALMOST ALL FOOD, FERTI-
LIZER, CEMENT, BUILDING MATERIALS, INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT, RAW MATERIALS,
AND MOTORIZED VEHICLES COME THROUGH THERE. ALMOST ALL SOPHISTICATED WEAP-
ONS - RADAR, SURFACE TO AIR MISSILES, AA GUNS AND LAND MINES COME THROUGH
THERE. U.S.S.R. SHIPBORNE CARGO INTO THAT HARBOR IN 1967 EXCEEDED 157,00
TONS. THE CARGO CAPACITY OF FREE WORLD SHIPPING INTO HAIPHONE WAS 1,530,
000 DEADWEIGHT TONS, CARRIED IN 149 SHIPS. IN 1969, OUT OF 99 FREE WORLD

(4)

SHIPS 74 WERE BRITISH FLAG. JAPAN APPARENTLY STARTED SEEING THE LIGHT BECAUSE HER 1969 SHIPPING ENTRANCE WAS ONLY THREE, AS OPPOSED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S TOTAL OF THIRTY. MOST OF THE REMAINDER FOR 1969 WERE OPERATING UNDER FLAGS OF CONVENIENCE WITH CARGO MOST LIKELY ORIGINATING FROM OUR SO-CALLED FRIENDS. THE YEARLY VALUE OF IMPORTS WITH HAIPHONG IS ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF A BILLION DOLLARS.

HAIPHONG HARBOR IS EXTREMELY VULNERABLE TO MINING AND OTHER PASSIVE BLOCKADE MEASURES. MINES COULD BE PLANTED IN A MATTER OF HOURS AND KEPT RESEEDED WITHOUT GREAT DIFFICULTY.

THIS COUNTRY OUGHT TO HAVE THE GUTS TO TELL THE BRITISH AND THE REST OR OUR SO-CALLED FRIENDS TO IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE MOVEMENT OF THEIR SHIPS INTO HAIPHONG.

IF THIS FAILS, STEP TWO SHOULD BE BASED ON RECALLING THAT THE WORLD WAR II STRATEGIC BOMBING SURVEY REVEALED THAT JAPANESE PRINCE KONOYE ESTIMATED THAT IN THE FINAL MONTHS OF THE WAR, THE B-29 MINING ATTACKS WERE EQUALLY EFFECTIVE AS THE BOMBING OF JAPANESE INDUSTRY. THE B-29 MINING ATTACKS REPRESENTED BUT 5.7% OF THAT COMMAND'S TOTAL EFFORT WAS EQUALLY EFFECTIVE AS THE BOMBING OF JAPANESE INDUSTRY, WHICH OCCUPIED THE OTHER 94.3% OF THE B-29 EFFORT!

THE STRATEGIC BOMBING SURVEY CONCLUDES THAT "THE USE OF MINES IN SETTLING INTERNATIONAL DISPUTES SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED. MINES CAN BE PLANTED WITHOUT RESULTING IN DIRECT HARM OR BLOODSHED TO THE LOCAL POPULACE. THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF SUCH A BLOCKAGE MIGHT WELL ASSIST SETTLEMENT OF DIS-

(5)

PUTES WITHOUT ACTUAL COMBAT."

AFTER ADEQUATE WARNING, IF A FEW BRITISH OR RUSSIAN SHIPS GET BLOWN UP IN THE PROCESS, SO BE IT. IF THERE ARE SOME RIOTS INVOLVED, SO BE IT. LET US UNTIE THE ROPES THAT BIND OUR BOYS WHO ARE DYING OR COMING BACK MAIMED FOR LIFE. LET US UNTIE THE ROPES THAT BIND THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE FORCES. THE WORLD WILL RESPECT US FOR IT. WE CAN BRING OUR BOYS HOME. WE MAY EVEN BE ABLE TO GO A LONG WAYS TOWARD RESTORING DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY.

HOW WELL THE SEEDS OF A NEW ERA OF AMERICAN MARITIME SUPREMACY ARE NURTURED AND GROW WILL DEPEND IN LARGE MEASURE ON HOW WELL THE NAVY LEAGUE PERFORMS ITS EDUCATIONAL TASK. IT WILL DEPEND ON HOW WELL YOU EXERT YOUR INFLUENCE IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE IN FULFILLING THE THEME OF THIS CONVENTION, "SEA-BASED SEVENTIES - REVIVAL OF AMERICAN HERITAGE." WE MUST EVER LOOK TO THE OCEANS FOR BETTER SOLUTIONS TO OUR URGENT DEFENSE, SCIENTIFIC, AND ECONOMIC PROBLEMS. OUR SURVIVAL IS AT STAKE.

AGAIN, I WELCOME YOU TO THE STATE OF TENNESSEE. WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE YOU HERE; WE HOPE YOU WANT TO COME BACK..

THE COURAGEOUS CAMBODIAN DECISION

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, IN HIS ROLE AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES HAS HAD THE COURAGE TO DENY SANCTUARY TO AN ENEMY OF THIS COUNTRY.

IN ORDER TO SAVE THE LIVES OF U. S. SERVICEMEN IT IS THE BASIC RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS NATION, WHEN IT HAS COMMITTED AMERICAN MILITARY FORCES, TO DESTROY THE ENEMY AND HIS SOURCES OF SUPPLY.

WE RESOLVE THAT THE NAVY LEAGUE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS OBJECTIVE OF SUPPORT TO THE ARMED FORCES OF THIS NATION, FULLY SUPPORTS, BY UNANIMOUS VOTE, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR HIS DECISION TO SEEK OUT AND DESTROY ENEMY SANCTUARIES WHICH HAVE UNNECESSARILY EXPOSED AMERICAN FIGHTING MEN TO DANGER, AND, IN A LARGER SENSE, HAVE DELAYED THE PEACE.

WE FURTHER RESOLVE THAT THE PRESIDENT BE INFORMED OF THE CONTINUING SUPPORT OF THE NAVY LEAGUE OF THE UNITED STATES IN THE APPLICATION OF THIS POLICY OF DENYING SANCTUARY TO AN ENEMY IN THE PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED BY HIS COURAGEOUS CAMBODIAN DECISION.

THE R.O.T.C.

THOSE ADVOCATING VIOLENCE AND DISSENT IN OUR INSTITUTIONS
OF HIGHER LEARNING HAVE FOCUSED ON THE R.O.T.C. UNITS AS AN
INSTITUTION TO BE TORN DOWN OR ERADICATED.

THE R.O.T.C. IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF COMMISSIONED OFFICERS;
IT IS A STRONG FORCE ON THE CAMPUS WHICH WILL ORIENT THE
STUDENTS TOWARDS OUR PRESENT SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT; AND IT
ATTRACTS THE TYPE OF CONSTRUCTIVE THINKING YOUTH THAT OUR
COUNTRY NEEDS FOR ITS MILITARY LEADERSHIP.

WE REJECT THE PHILOSOPHY OF THOSE WHO SEEK TO DESTROY
THE R.O.T.C.

WE RESOLVE TO SUPPORT THOSE INSTITUTIONS WHICH MAINTAIN
AND EXPAND THE CORPS ON CAMPUS AND THOSE STUDENTS WHO SEEK
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THE TYPE OF EDUCATION THEY DESIRE
THROUGH THE R.Ö.T.C.

(L/C)

# CAMPUS REVOLT

OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS HAVE BECOME A TARGET FOR THOSE WHO WOULD DESTROY NOT ONLY OUR SCHOOLS BUT THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF AMERICAN SOCIETY.

THE ACTIONS OF MANY ADMINISTRATORS AND FACULTY MEMBERS ENCOURAGES DISOBEDIENCE, DISORDER AND VIOLENCE WHICH ONLY LEADS TO MORE UNREASONABLE DEMANDS, THUS DENYING TO OTHERS WITHIN THE INSTITUTION THE TIME-HONORED RIGHT OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND ACTION.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WHICH HAVE ACCEDED TO THE DEMANDS OF THOSE WHO ADVOCATE SEPARATION FROM NATIONAL DEFENSE EFFORTS, ARE NOT ONLY DENYING EQUAL CAREER OPPORTUNITIES, BUT AT THE SAME TIME ARE WEAKENING THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE REPUBLIC BY MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT AND COSTLY TO ACCOMPLISH ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS NEEDED IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST.

THE NAVY LEAGUE OF THE UNITED STATES, IN DEFENSE OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM AND IN ACCORD WITH ITS POLICY TO MAINTAIN A STRONG AMERICA--URGES STUDENTS, PARENTS, ALUMNI AND ALL OTHER PATRIOTIC CITIZENS TO PETITION THOSE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WHICH HAVE ACCEDED TO THE DEMAND FOR TOTAL SEPARATION FROM THE NATIONAL INTERESTS TO RECONSIDER THEIR DECISION, THEREBY RE-ESTABLISHING EDUCATIONAL STABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY.
