The Committee recommends concurrence as amended as follows:
Restore "that the militarization of society must be challenged and stopped; that the manufacture, sale, and deployment of armaments must be reduced and controlled; and that the production, possession, or use of nuclear weapons be condemned."
Petition will now read:
Amend the second sentence of ¶ 75C:
We therefore reject war...as governments determine their
priorities; that the militarization of society must be
challenged and stopped; that the manufacture, sale, and deployment of armaments
must be reduced and controlled; and that the production, possession, or use of
nuclear weapons be condemned. Consequently we endorse general and complete
disarmament under strict and effective international control.
