Dear Patriots, Constitutionalist, Militia and Concerned Citizens:
    Here is the absolute proof that the United States government through the
Kennedy Administration and the U.S. Department of State has planned all along
since BEFORE 1961 to totally and completely disarm ALL U.S. citizens, and then
ALL police and state and federal military personnel and turn the United States
of America completely over to the United Nations and the New World Order.
There can BE NO SOVEREIGN nations if they don't have the weapons to protect
themselves . . . . the U.S. and the U.N. expect to take over the world and
"PROTECT" the whole world by themselves.  So, just what does that mean???
It means the U.N. will OWN the whole world because only they will have
weapons....and all military bases will be closed....that is why the Long Beach
Naval Shipyard has been closed!  No military means no need for bases.  The New
World Order is HERE NOW!!!   USCMike1

INTRODUCTION

The revolutionary development of modern weapons within a world
divided by serious ideological differences has produced a crisis
in human history. In order to overcome the danger of nuclear war
now confronting mankind, the United States has introduced, at the
Sixteenth General Assembly of the United Nations, a Program for
General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World.

This new program provides for the progressive reduction of the
war-making capabilities of nations and the simultaneous
strengthening of international institutions to settle disputes
and maintain the peace. It sets forth a series of comprehensive
measures which can and should be taken in order to bring about a
world in which there will be freedom from war and security for
all states. It is based on three principles deemed essential to
the achievement of practical progress in the disarmament field:

First, there must be immediate disarmament action:  A strenuous
and uninterrupted effort must be made toward the goal of general
and complete disarmament; at the same time, it is important that
specific measures be put into effect as soon as possible.

Second, all disarmament obligations must be subject to effective
international controls:  The control organization must have the
manpower, facilities, and effectiveness to assure that
limitations or reductions take place as agreed. It must also be
able to certify to all states that retained forces and armaments
do not exceed those permitted at any stage of the disarmament
process.

Third, adequate peace-keeping machinery must be established:
There is an inseparable relationship between the scaling down of
national armaments on the one hand and the building up of
international peace-keeping machinery and institutions on the
other. Nations are unlikely to shed their means of
self-protection in the absence of alternative ways to safeguard
their legitimate interests. This can only be achieved through the
progressive strengthening of international institutions under the
United Nations and by creating a United Nations Peace Force to
enforce the peace as the disarmament process proceeds.

                                 ---===---

There follows a summary of the principal provisions of the United
States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful
World. The full text of the program is contained in an appendix
to this pamphlet.
 
 

                             FREEDOM FROM WAR

                         THE UNITED STATES PROGRAM
                   FOR GENERAL AND COMPLETE DISARMAMENT
                            IN A PEACEFUL WORLD
 

                                  SUMMARY

                      DISARMAMENT GOAL AND OBJECTIVES

The overall goal of the United States is a free, secure, and
peaceful world of independent states adhering to common standards
of justice and international conduct and subjecting the use of
force to the rule of law; a world which has achieved general and
complete disarmament under effective international control; and a
world in which adjustment to change takes place in accordance
with the principles of the United Nations.

In order to make possible the achievement of that goal, the
program sets forth the following specific objectives toward which
nations should direct their efforts:

* The disbanding of all national armed forces and the prohibition
of their reestablishment in any form whatsoever other than those
required to preserve internal order and for contributions to a
United Nations Peace Force;

* The elimination from national arsenals of all armaments,
including all weapons of mass destruction and the means for their
delivery, other than those required for a United Nations Peace
Force and for maintaining internal order;

* The institution of effective means for the enforcement of
international agreements, for the settlement of disputes, and for
the maintenance of peace in accordance with the principles of the
United Nations;

* The establishment and effective operation of an International
Disarmament Organization within the framework of the United
Nations to insure compliance at all times with all disarmament
obligations.
 

TASKS OF NEGOTIATING STATES

The negotiating states are called upon to develop the program
into a detailed plan for general and complete disarmament and to
continue their efforts without interruption until the whole
program has been achieved. To this end, they are to seek the
widest possible area of agreement at the earliest possible date.
At the same time, and without prejudice to progress on the
disarmament program, they are to seek agreement on those
immediate measures that would contribute to the common security
of nations and that could facilitate and form part of the total
program.
 

GOVERNING PRINCIPLES

The program sets forth a series of general principles to guide
the negotiating states in their work. These make clear that:

* As states relinquish their arms, the United Nations must be
progressively strengthened in order to improve its capacity to
assure international security and the peaceful settlement of
disputes;

* Disarmament must proceed as rapidly as possible, until it is
completed, in stages containing balanced, phased, and safeguarded
measures;

* Each measure and stage should be carried out in an agreed
period of time, with transition from one stage to the next to
take place as soon as all measures in the preceding stage have
been carried out and verified and as soon as necessary
arrangements for verification of the next stage have been made;

* Inspection and verification must establish both that nations
carry out scheduled limitations or reductions and that they do
not retain armed forces and armaments in excess of those
permitted at any stage of the disarmament process; and

* Disarmament must take place in a manner that will not affect
adversely the security of any state.
 
 

DISARMAMENT STAGES

The program provides for progressive disarmament steps to take
place in three stages and for the simultaneous strengthening of
international institutions.
 

FIRST STAGE

The first stage contains measures which would significantly
reduce the capabilities of nations to wage aggressive war.
Implementation of this stage would mean that:

* The nuclear threat would be reduced:

All states would have adhered to a treaty effectively prohibiting
the testing of nuclear weapons.  The production of fissionable
materials for use in weapons would be stopped and quantities of
such materials from past production would be converted to
non-weapons uses.  States owning nuclear weapons would not
relinquish control of such weapons to any nation not owning them
and would not transmit to any such nation information or material
necessary for their manufacture.  States not owning nuclear
weapons would not manufacture them or attempt to obtain control
of such weapons belonging to other states.

A Commission of Experts would be established to report on the
feasibility and means for the verified reduction and eventual
elimination of nuclear weapons stockpiles.

* Strategic delivery vehicles would be reduced:

Strategic nuclear weapons delivery vehicles of specified
categories and weapons designed to counter such vehicles would be
reduced to agreed levels by equitable and balanced steps; their
production would be discontinued or limited; their testing would
be limited or halted.

* Arms and armed forces would be reduced:

The armed forces of the United States and the Soviet Union would
be limited to 2.1 million men each (with appropriate levels not
exceeding that amount for other militarily significant states);
levels of armaments would be correspondingly reduced and their
production would be limited.

An Experts Commission would be established to examine and report
on the feasibility and means of accomplishing verifiable
reduction and eventual elimination of all chemical, biological
and radiological weapons.

* Peaceful use of outer space would be promoted:

The placing in orbit or stationing in outer space of weapons
capable of producing mass destruction would be prohibited.
States would give advance notification of space vehicle and
missile launchings.

* U.N. peace-keeping powers would be strengthened:

Measures would be taken to develop and strengthen United Nations
arrangementS for arbitration, for the development of
international law, and for the establishment in Stage II of a
permanent U.N.  Peace Force.

* An International Disarmament Organization would be established
for effective verification of the disarmament program:

Its functions would be expanded progressively as disarmament
proceeds.

It would certify to all states that agreed reductions have taken
place and that retained forces and armaments do not exceed
permitted levels.

It would determine the transition from one stage to the next.

* States would be committed to other measures to reduce
international tension and to protect against the chance of war by
accident, miscalculation, or surprise attack:

States would be committed to refrain from the threat or use of
any type of armed force contrary to the principles of the U.N.
Charter and to refrain from indirect aggression and subversion
against any country.

A U.N. peace observation group would be available to investigate
any situation which might constitute a threat to or breach of the
peace.

States would be committed to give advance notice of major
military movements which might cause alarm; observation posts
would be established to report on concentrations and   movements
of military forces.
 

SECOND STAGE

The second stage contains a series of measures which would bring
within sight a world in which there would be freedom from war.
Implementation of all measures in the second stage would mean:

* Further substantial reductions in the armed forces, armaments,
and military establishments of states, including strategic
nuclear weapons delivery vehicles and countering weapons;

* Further development of methods for the peaceful settlement of
disputes under the United Nations;    * Establishment of a
permanent international peace force within the United Nations;

* Depending on the findings of an Experts Commission, a halt in
the production of chemical, bacteriological and radiological
weapons and a reduction of existing stocks or their conversion to
peaceful uses;

* On the basis of the findings of an Experts Commission, a
reduction of stocks of nuclear weapons;

* The dismantling or the conversion to peaceful uses of certain
military bases and facilities wherever located; and

* The strengthening and enlargement of the International
Disarmament Organization to enable it to verify the steps taken
in Stage II and to determine the transition to Stage III.
 

THIRD STAGE

During the third stage of the program, the states of the world,
building on the experience and confidence gained in successfully
implementing the measures of the first two stages, would take
final steps toward the goal of a world in which:

* States would retain only those forces, non-nuclear armaments,
and establishments required for the purpose of maintaining
internal order; they would also support and provide agreed
manpower for a U.N. Peace Force.

* The U.N. Peace Force, equipped with agreed types and quantities
of armaments, would be fully functioning.

* The manufacture of armaments would be prohibited except for
those of agreed types and quantities to be used by the U.N. Peace
Force and those required to maintain internal order. All other
armaments would be destroyed or converted to peaceful purposes.

* The peace-keeping capabilities of the United Nations would be
sufficiently strong and the obligations of all states under such
arrangements sufficiently far-reaching as to assure peace and the
just settlement of differences in a disarmed world.

and complete disarmament:

STAGE I

A. To Establish an International Disarmament Organization:

(a) An International Disarmament Organization (IDO) shall be
established within the framework of the United Nations upon entry
into force of the agreement. Its functions shall be expanded
progressively as required for the effective verification of the
disarmament program.

(b) The IDO shall have: (1) a General Conference of all the
parties; (2) a Commission consisting of representatives of all
the major powers as permanent members and certain other states on
a rotating basis; and (3) an Administrator who will administer
the Organization subject to the direction of the Commission and
who will have the authority, staff, and finances adequate to
assure effective impartial implementation of the functions of the
Organization.

(c) The IDO shall: (1) ensure compliance with the obligations
undertaken by verifying the execution of measures agreed upon;

(2) assist the states in developing the details of agreed further
verification and disarmament measures; (3) provide for the
establishment of such bodies as may be necessary for working out
the details of further measures provided for in the program and
for such other expert study groups as may be required to give
continuous study to the problems of disarmament; (4) receive
reports on the progress of disarmament and verification
arrangements and determine the transition from one stage to the
next.

B. To Reduce Armed Forces and Armaments:

(a) Force levels shall be limited to 2.I million each for the
U.S.  and U.S.S.R. and to appropriate levels not exceeding 2.1
million each for all other militarily significant states.
Reductions to the agreed levels will proceed by equitable,
proportionate, and verified steps.

(b) Levels of armaments of prescribed types shall be reduced by
equitable and balanced steps. The reductions shall be
accomplished by transfers of armaments to depots supervised by
the IDO. When, at specified periods during the Stage I reduction
process, the states party to the agreement have agreed that the
armaments and armed forces are at prescribed levels, the
armaments in depots shall be destroyed or converted to peaceful
uses.

(c) The production of agreed types of armaments shall be limited.

(d) A Chemical, Biological, Radiological (CBR) Experts Commission
shall be established within the IDO for the purpose of examining
and reporting on the feasibility and means for accomplishing the
verifiable reduction and eventual elimination of CBR weapons
stockpiles and the halting of their production.    C. To Contain
and Reduce the Nuclear Threat:

(a) States that have not acceded to a treaty effectively
prohibiting the testing of nuclear weapons shall do so.

(b) The production of fissionable materials for use in weapons
shall be stopped.

(c) Upon the cessation of production of fissionable materials for
use in weapons, agreed initial quantities of fissionable
materials from past production shall be transferred to
non-weapons purposes.

(d) Any fissionable materials transferred between countries for
peaceful uses of nuclear energy shall be subject to appropriate
safeguards to be developed in agreement with the IAEA.

(e) States owning nuclear weapons shall not relinquish control of
such weapons to any nation not owning them and shall not transmit
to any such nation information or material necessary for their
manufacture. States not owning nuclear weapons shall not
manufacture such weapons, attempt to obtain control of such
weapons belonging to other states, or seek or receive information
or materials necessary for their manufacture.

(f) A Nuclear Experts Commission consisting of representatives of
the nuclear states shall be established within the IDO for the
purpose of examining and reporting on the feasibility and means
for accomplishing the verified reduction and eventual elimination
of nuclear weapons stockpiles.

D. To Reduce Strategic Nuclear Weapons Delivery Vehicles:

(a) Strategic nuclear weapons delivery vehicles in specified
categories and agreed types of weapons designed to counter such
vehicles shall be reduced to agreed levels by equitable and
balanced steps. The reduction shall be accomplished in each step
by transfers to depots supervised by the IDO of vehicles that are
in excess of levels agreed upon for each step. At specified
periods during the Stage I reduction process, the vehicles that
have been placed under supervision of the IDO shall be destroyed
or converted to peaceful uses.

(b) Production of agreed categories of strategic nuclear weapons
delivery vehicles and agreed types of weapons designed to counter
such vehicles shall be discontinued or limited.

(c) Testing of agreed categories of strategic nuclear weapons
delivery vehicles and agreed types of weapons designed to counter

F. To Reduce the Risks of War by Accident, Miscalculation, and
Surprise Attack:

(a) States shall give advance notification to the participating
states and to the IDO of major military movements and maneuvers,
on a scale as may be agreed, which might give rise to
misinterpretation or cause alarm and induce countermeasures. The
notification shall include the geographic areas to be used and
the nature, scale and time span of the event.

(b) There shall be established observation posts at such
locations as major ports, railway centers, motor highways, and
air bases to report on concentrations and movements of military
forces.

(c) There shall also be established such additional inspection
arrangements to reduce the danger of surprise attack as may be
agreed.

(d) An international commission shall be established immediately
within the IDO to examine and make recommendations on the
possibility of further measures to reduce the risks of nuclear
war by accident, miscalculation, or failure of communication.

G. To Keep the Peace:

(a) States shall reaffirm their obligations under the U.N.
Charter to refrain from the threat or use of any type of armed
force including nuclear, conventional, or CBR - contrary to the
principles of the U.N. Charter.

(b) States shall agree to refrain from indirect aggression and
subversion against any country.

(c) States shall use all appropriate processes for the peaceful
settlement of disputes and shall seek within the United Nations
further arrangements for the peaceful settlement of international
disputes and for the codification and progressive development of
international law.

(d) States shall develop arrangements in Stage I for the
establishment in Stage II of a U.N. Peace Force.

(e) A U.N. peace observation group shall be staffed with a
standing cadre of observers who could be dispatched to
investigate any situation which might constitute a threat to or
breach of the peace
 

STAGE II

A. International Disarmament Organization:

The powers and responsibilities of the IDO shall be progressively
enlarged in order to give it the capabilities to verify the
measures undertaken in Stage II.

B. To Further Reduce Armed Forces and Armaments:

(a) Levels of forces for the U.S., U.S.S.R., and other militarily
significant states shall be further reduced by substantial
amounts to agreed levels in equitable and balanced steps.

(b) Levels of armaments of prescribed types shall be further
reduced by equitable and balanced steps. The reduction shall be
accomplished by transfers of armaments to depots supervised by
the IDO. When, at specified periods during the Stage II reduction
process, the parties have agreed that the armaments and armed
forces are at prescribed levels, the armaments in depots shall be
destroyed or converted to peaceful uses.

(c) There shall be further agreed restrictions on the production
of armaments.

(d) Agreed military bases and facilities wherever they are
located shall be dismantled or converted to peaceful uses.

(e) Depending upon the findings of the Experts Commission on CBR
weapons, the production of CBR weapons shall be halted, existing
stocks progressively reduced, and the resulting excess quantities
destroyed or converted to peaceful uses.

C. To Further Reduce the Nuclear Threat:

Stocks of nuclear weapons shall be progressively reduced to the
minimum levels which can be agreed upon as a result of the
findings of the Nuclear Experts Commission; the resulting excess
of fissionable material shall be transferred to peaceful
purposes.

D. To Further Reduce Strategic Nuclear Weapons Delivery
Vehicles:

Further reductions in the stocks of strategic nuclear weapons
delivery vehicles and agreed types of weapons designed to counter
such vehicles shall be carried out in accordance with the
procedure outlined in Stage I.

E. To Keep the Peace:

During Stage II, states shall develop further the peace-keeping
processes of the United Nations, to the end that the United
Nations can effectively in Stage III deter or suppress any threat
or use of force in violation of the purposes and principles of
the United Nations:

(a) States shall agree upon strengthening the structure,
authority, and operation of the United Nations so as to assure
that the United Nations will be able effectively to protect
states against threats to or breaches of the peace.

(b) The U.N. Peace Force shall be established and progressively
strengthened.

(c) States shall also agree upon further improvements and
developments in rules of international conduct and in processes
for peaceful settlement of disputes and differences.
 

STAGE III

By the time Stage II has been completed, the confidence produced
through a verified disarmament program, the acceptance of rules
of peaceful international behavior, and the development of
strengthened international peace-keeping processes within the
framework of the U.N. should have reached a point where the
states of the world can move forward to Stage III. In Stage III
progressive controlled disarmament and continuously developing
principles and procedures of international law would proceed to a
point where no state would have the military power to challenge
the progressively strengthened U.N. Peace Force and all
international disputes would be settled according to the agreed
principles of international conduct.

The progressive steps to be taken during the final phase of the
disarmament program would be directed toward the attainment of a
world in which:

(a) States would retain only those forces, non-nuclear armaments,
and establishments required for the purpose of maintaining
internal order; they would also support and provide agreed
manpower for a U.N Peace Force.

(b) The U.N. Peace Force, equipped with agreed types and
quantities of armaments, would be fully functioning.

(c) The manufacture of armaments would be prohibited except for
those of agreed types and quantities to be used by the U.N. Peace
Force and those required to maintain internal order. All other
armaments would be destroyed or converted to peaceful purposes.

(d) The peace-keeping capabilities of the United Nations would be
sufficiently strong and the obligations of all states under such
arrangements sufficiently far-reaching as to assure peace and the
just settlement of differences in a disarmed world.
