BR mentions that he is "greatly disturbed by the gravity of the situation in South East Asia." BR proposes a meeting for 9 July 1964 in order to discuss a possible "reconvening of the Fourteen Nation Geneva Conference on Laos, for the purpose of a negotiated settlement for all of Indo-China." BR asks the Laotian Embassy if they could send "a high level spokesman" to the meeting. In addition to the Laotian Embassy, BR is asking Claude Bourdet, Vladimir Dedijer, Riccardo Lombardi, Krishna Menon, Nguyen Van Hieu, Martin Niemoeller, Linus Pauling, Jean-Paul Sartre, "and a spokesman from the Polish Peace Committee and the Soviet Peace Committee."
