The White House

Washington, D.C.

Dear President Reagan'

You can go down in history as the greatest president this nation has ever known. Today you can divert the world's attention from the Iran/to/Nicaragua arms fiasco by performing a single act. Meet Gorbachev more than halfway Droo SDI and issue a binding executive order*, as Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces, committing the United States eternally:

1. to dismantle all nuclear warheads by the year 2000 and not replace them;

2. to not use or support violent offensive military operation outside the USA as an option in international relations;

3. to pursue an aggressive good faith effort to get all other nations in the world to do the came' and

4 demanding that the USSR commit to l, 2 and 3 above. Only a supreme act of peacemaking can extricate you from this credibility crisis and remove the threat of a global nuclear holocaust from all of our lives. The world is holding its breath. Please, Mr. Reagan be wise.

* [By issuing such an order, you will help save everyone on earth from a nuclear holocaust, and help save the life of Dr. Charles Hyder today in his 67^th day of fasting for these same conditions. See enclosure.]
