Typed Letter Signed
Washington: 1973.
Fantastic Vietnam War T.L.S. 4to. 1 page, Congress of the United States, House of Representatives, Committee on Foreign Affairs, Washington, D.C., January 16th 1973, to Dr. Arthur Luce Klein, anticipating the historic Cease-Fire Agreement that will effectively end the War in Vietnam, ten days before the official announcement, in part: "...I very much appreciate your taking the time to express your concern over the policy which this nation has followed over the last month in Vietnam, including the renewed bombing of the North. Carpet bombing from high altitudes is by nature indiscriminate as between civilian and military targets; I have spoken out a number of times already against this, and I join you in the strongest opposition to this policy. This action, which reflected adversely on the United States in many quarters of the globe, was taken unilaterally and with neither consultation with nor the consent of Congress. As of this writing, we are once again awaiting news and hoping for a satisfactory cease-fire agreement. Hopefully by the time you receive this letter, a cease-fire will have been announced and even signed. As you know, I have sponsored legislation to cut off funds for the war. Please rest assured that I will continue to do all I can to end the destruction and to bring all of our men home without further delay..." Excellent condition.
American politician who served as United States Ambassador to Israel from 1973-1975 and as a liberal-Republican turned Democrat Congressman from New York States.
