James Bell, Rogoff. Come on, Frank Gonzales, Roma Bullington Can Troy Rodreick, Willington Barnes, Wallet Land. Daniel Joseph, Ryan, Modesto, Roy Lewis Jr What is your reaction? Tomorrow night, the small group of protesters will be joined here on the Capitol steps by those participating in a Mass

00:00:52.440 - 00:01:10.020

march and then to hear the major speak by Senator Alan Cranston. Rollin Post for eyewitness New moratorium against the war in Vietnam is being held on the West steps of the Capitol, where students from various Sacramento schools are holding a two day vigil. After a brief

00:01:10.020 - 00:01:27.580

demonstration in front of the governor's house last night, the protesters moved to the capital, where four of them are working two hour shifts, three our flag bearers holding the peace flag, the American flag and the state flag, while the fourth reads the names of Californians who

00:01:27.580 - 00:01:54.380

have been killed in Vietnam. A list of almost 5500. Early in the day, Governor Reagan left for Washington but commented on the vigil to reporters at the Sacramento airport. Well, I was greatly disappointed, way have a Zaev said. In a number of occasions in this state,

00:01:54.930 - 00:02:10.840

I think the highest level of state employees, one of the finest groups that could be found in any state. And I think they had reason to be proud of that voluntary pledge because I think all of us have to agree that there is no basis upon

00:02:10.840 - 00:02:29.830

which public employees can strike against the public. This'll, uh, leadership made the vote yesterday and now refer to the local chapters. I haven't seen any indication that they're going toe refer it to a referendum of the employees. Frankly, I would be not only disappointed but perhaps

00:02:29.830 - 00:02:47.540

even surprised if, in an actual secret ballot referendum, the majority of the employees went along with this action. I don't think you can run a country on how loud someone shouts in the street, and I think a great many of these people, no question about their

00:02:47.540 - 00:03:01.220

sincerity. But I think there's also no question that they have been pulled around by the nose by a small group who are not interested in peace. They're interested in victory for the Viet Cong. What do you think people ought to do, governor, who are genuinely opposed

00:03:01.220 - 00:03:18.420

to the war but not in favor of the Vietcong? Well, I think that We have had experiences before of people who have been opposed to wars, and I think they deal through their own representatives and it's dealt with in government channels. But once the killing starts,

00:03:18.940 - 00:03:34.990

the very difficult thing, then, is, uh, how do you register these protests without lending comfort made to the enemy without strengthening his resistance and his will to fight when thus killing more of our men? And most Americans in the past have always respected it.
