In Vietnamese with an English translation.

Pham Van Dong is Prime Minister of North Vietnam.

Pham Van Dong writes that both he and Ho Chi Minh appreciate that Mark Lane, one of the Directors of the BRPF, will represent David Mitchell. Mitchell is an American who has refused to serve in the U.S. Army on the grounds that the U.S. is "engaged in war crimes".

Pham Van Dong believes that the activities of the BRPF "... will be of an important contribution to the mobilisation of the world and American people to strongly condemn the U.S. aggressors...."
