Two Harvard students will meet with President Nixon's National Security adviser Henry Kissinger today.
The students, Keith Raffel '71 and Robert Coyne '73, journeyed to Washington as part of a delegation of representatives from 12 colleges which is meeting with high government officials. They are attempting to reverse what they termed the "delusion" in Washington that the nation's campuses are clam despite the Allied intervention in Laos.
The group issued a statement on Saturday urging a "total and immediate withdrawal" of all U.S. forces from Vietnam. "The war in Southeast Asia has been the greatest contributing factor to the deterioration of the American spirit and diminution of freedom and candor so vital in a dynamic, democratic society," the statement said.
"In our meeting with Kissinger," Raffel said yesterday, "we will at-tempt to find out just where the foreign policy is coming from and hopefully, where it's going."
Kissinger, who is known to be Nixon's top foreign policy maker, is a former professor in the Government Department. In the face of widespread criticism concerning his lack of receptivity to campus opinion, he has recently made several efforts to talk with students.
