- Encourages the Executive Council, Dioceses, congregations and individual parishioners to communicate on a continuing basis to the Administration, to the Congress and within their local communities their support for these proposals, and to study and monitor future developments on these and related peace-making initiatives; and
- Directs the Secretary of this Convention to communicate this resolution to the President and the Vice President of the United States, to members of the Congress, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and the Chairman of the Presidium of the USSR.
