Resolved, That the 65th General Convention of the Episcopal Church, affirming in this bicentennial year the founding of this nation as one under God, does hereby:
- Commend the leaders of the United States Government for the efforts and programs aimed at restoring to productive lives those who served the nation in the Indochina conflict as well as those who chose not to serve;
- Urge the furtherance of those efforts by granting to Vietnam veterans benefits fully equivalent to those granted to veterans who served the nation in World War II and in the Korean conflict; and
- Finally, urge the fulfillment of national objectives by granting a general amnesty to those who for reasons of conscience chose non-violent means to refuse to participate in the conflict in Indochina, and support their speedy restoration to homes, families and citizenship in these United States.
- Urge all parties to recognize the plight of those persons still reported as missing in action and to do all in our collective power as a Church and a people to secure their release.
