Lobby Drive Set For Washington

Fifteen buses will leave here at 9 p.m. tonight for Washington to lobby for Congressional opposition to the war.

The action is sponsored by Peace Action Strike, a group of faculty, students, and university employees, as a kick-off for national anti-war organizing campaign.

The group will meet Friday morning in the Senate Caucus Room with a number of Senators- including Eugene McCarthy (D-Minn.), William Proxmire (D-Wis.), Sherman Cooper (D-Ky.), and Edward Brooke (R-Mass.)- to discuss anti-war strategy.

The rest of the day will be spent lobbying Congressmen to obtain support for immediate anti-war actions such as appropriations cuts. On Saturday, there will be a rally.

One anti-war Congressman, who asked to remain unidentified, said yesterday, "Congressmen are undecided and confused on the Cambodian issue. Direct lobbying will be decisive in making up their minds."

Bus tickets will be sold for $20 each attables during meals in the Harvard Houses, at the Peace Action Strike Committee office in PBH basement, and at a meeting at 1p.m. today in Harvard 104.

Free housing in Washington is being arranged by the organizers.

Among the resolutions which the group will ask Congressmen to support is the "McGovern Amendment," under which- in the absence of a declaration of war- Congress would not appropriate any funds after this year for the Vietnam War, unless the money were needed to withdraw American troops.
