APPALLED that the administration in Washington, instead of taking advantage of such opportunities as partial withdrawal from Vietnam, and possible arms reduction by SALT and the UN Conference of the Committee on Disarmament, has increased the Defense Department budget by $4 billion and is planning ever more destructive weapons and means of delivery;

THE 1973 GENERAL ASSEMBLY URGES the Congress of the United States to reduce the arms budget requested by $10 billion; and

WE FURTHER URGE that the governments of the United States and Canada support:

1. A comprehensive test ban agreement;
2. The abolition of chemical weapons;
3. The convening of a World Conference on Disarmament under the auspices of the United Nations.
