=="A letter to Congress" on North Korea==

In 1974, approximately 50 prominent, mainly [[Communist Party USA]] aligned leftists, signed a "Letter to Congress" on the situation regarding North Korea.

:''"For a quarter of a century the people of all Korea have needed such a peace agreement. The American People are ready for it. The People of the world deserve it. Peaceful coexistence must replace war and the threat of war. Negotiations must replace confrontation."''

:''"Therefore, we the undersigned, concerned about the dangerous conditions in Korea earnestly appeal to you, and to all peace-minded Americans to join together in combining our reason and our political influence to secure the peaceful resolution of this problem."''

The letter to Congress was in response to a March 25th, 1974 letter from the Supreme Peoples Assembly of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea to the United States Congress. 

The signatories which included [[Lee Ball]] urged Congress to act on North Korea's Concerns.<ref>Letter to Congress undated 1974 Hugh DeLacy papers Accession Number 3915 Box Number 9 Folder Number 2</ref>
