Dear Mr. President, 
The undersigned faculty and graduate students, a majority of the Department of Sociology protest the actions you announce in your televised address May 8, 1972. We feel that these actions are an unwarranted escalation of the conflict in Vietnam. We call for the repudiation of these measures and for the immediate withdrawal of American forces of all kinds from Southeast Asia. 
Sincerely, 

Mark Krain
