SDS Will Meet At EMK's Office

Harvard-Radcliffe Students for a Democratic Society and other peace groups will attempt to meet with Senator Edward M. Kennedy '54 (D-Mass.) to present measures designed "to give Congress back its rightful voice in foreign policy."

Students and faculty from Boston area colleges will meet outside Kennedy's Federal Building office from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. today to ask the Senator to start a floor debate on U.S. policy in Vietnam. It is unlikely that Kennedy will be in his office, however, since he flew to London yesterday to attend the dedication of the JFK memorial at Runnymede.

The groups involved claim that Congress has lost its voice in foreign affairs. They cite the resolution of last August 7 which gave the President unlimited authority in Southeast Asian policy, and the appropriation--without debate--of $700 million to extend the war in Vietnam as examples of Congressional apathy.

A spokesman for SDS indicated that this will probably be the last demonstration of the year. "It's getting too close to finals to have any more demonstrations."
