The recent statement of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart and I found myself in full accord when I read its opening lines: "A time comes when silence is betrayal." That time has come for us in relation to Vietnam.

We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.

I've decided to stick with love.
