RN DRAFT THREE
- 29 -
1. As President, I hold the responsibility for choosing the
best path to this goal at this time and then for leading
our nation along it.
(1) I cannot and shall not abdicate this responsibility.
(2) I will lead us toward our common goal for peace
with all the strength and wisdom I can command
in accordance with your hopes, mindful of your
interests and aided by your prayers.
In asking for your support, I do not challenge the right of many of
my fellow citizens to disagree with my decision.
1. I realize that this war is the most difficult and controversial
in our history and that honest and patriotic men have reached
different conclusions as to how the war should be conducted
and as to how peace can be achieved.
(1) In San Francisco a few weeks ago several demonstrators
carried placards which read: "Lose in Vietnam, bring
the boys home."
1. One of the great strengths of our free society
is that any American has the right to reach
that conclusion and to advocate that point of view.
