WHEREAS, young men of the City of Cypress, California, are engaged in
mortal combat in Viet Nam in support of the Foreign Policy commitments of
this Nation;
WHEREAS, vociferous groups and individuals in our society have, by
illegal demonstrations and otherwise, sought, and are seeking, to undermine
this policy;

have been erroneously led to believe that the majority of our people are not
willing to support our commitments or uphold our national honor; and
WHEREAS, members of our armed forces, themselves convinced of the
rectitude of our Asian policy, have expressed concern and shock over the
apparent attitude of those for wham they are fighting, and are desirous and
deserving of a forthright statement of our support for and interest anthem.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this Council, as the duly elected
representatives of the people of Cypress, depbres the fact that the publicity
given to the opinions of such a small minority of our people has tended to
mislead the world into considering this County as deeply divided;

of the armed forces, its fullest support and warmest devotion to them as they
perform their hard duty, thus assuring them that the spirit of patriotism is
not dead in this country and that they are neither forgotten nor unappreciated

United States Senators from this State, to Congressmen for this district, the
California Assemblymen and Senators from this District, and to the local
