live together in peace and harmony. The Pope has
strongly condemned Israel's retaliatory attack on
the Beirut Airport and the executions in Iraq.
With regard to Biafra (see Background Paper
Biafra), the Pope has been particularly active not
only with respect to the humanitarian aspects, but
also with respect to promoting a resumption of
negotiations between the two parties. On December 19,
1968, the Pope wrote identical letters to the head
of the Federal Military Government of Nigeria and
to the leader of Biafra appealing not only for the
resumption of negotiations, but also for a cease-
fire during the Christmas season. The Vatican has
also sent various emissaries to Nigeria and to
Biafra in the past year.
Vatican Position:
The Pope may review in general his positions
with regard to Vietnam, the Middle East, and Biafra.
U.S. Position:
The United States should encourage the Pope
and the Vatican in their humanitarian endeavors.
