House Panel Holds
Youth Discussion
A six-member bipartisan
panel of House members will
hold special hearings for
college students beginning at
9 a.m. Thursday, May 21, in
the Foreign Affairs
Committee Room.
According to the
sponsors, the purpose is to
afford young people of
college age "a constructive,
orderly and effective way to
be heard on military and
foreign policy, especially
those relating to Southeast
Asia."
•The purpose of the
hearings is to help make our
representative form of
government work for our
young people. More so than
at any time in our history,
they question whether our
190 year old system of
government really meets the
needs of a modern society.
"The hearings are being
organized and sponsored
entirely by the six House
members, with no affiliation
whatever with outside roups
of individuals. The duration
of hearings will depend on
student response.
'•This public
announcement is the only
invitation that will be issued.
Those who wish to testify
must act upon this invitation
by a wire or phone call. My
office will be headquarters:
Room 2444 Rayburn
building, phone
202-225-5271. Give name,
age. college or university and
home address.
''In order to
accommodate the maximum
number of witnesses, oral
statements will be confined
to 10 minutes each with the
period of questions from
panel members 10 additional
minutes. Each witness must
furnish 20 copies of his
prepared statement at the
time of appearance, and
must pay his own expenses
for travel and accommod-ations.
Although we
anticipate that most will be
college students, other young
people of college age are
welcome as witnesses.
"Full texts oT the
hearings will be delivered to
the Speaker of the House
and to President Nixon."
Students are approaching
churches, apartment
buildings, housing
subdivisions and shopping
centers to circulate and get
signatures on the petition.
This is an effort on the
part of the UNC-G students,
working under the name of
Concerned Students for
Peaceful Action, to get as
many signatures from the
community is possible.
Presently students are
working from the
dormitories to channel the
interest in the petitions from
the campus to the
community.
