Due in pant to faulty distribution, an open antiwar letter to Henry Kissinger was sent to Washington yesterday with only 68 Faculty signatures.

The two sponsors of the letter-Herbert C. Kelman, Cabot Professor of Social Ethics, and Everett I. Mendelsohn, professor of the History of Science-had intended to circulate the letter to all 780 Faculty members. They asked for a response by last Friday.

But Mendelsohn said last night that he thought a mistake had been made in the mass mailing of the letter and that only half the Faculty had received a copy of it. Several professors contacted last night said they had not seen it.

The letter denounces the continuation of the Vietnam war as immoral and destructive and calls on Kissinger to resign his post as national security advisor if he cannot move to end it. The signatures were released to the press yesterday, and the text-obtained from another Faculty source-was printed in last Thursday's CRIMSON.

The letter also reaffirms Kissinger's acceptability as a colleague, but its principal concern is with the war.

The open letter represents one of the few instances in which a Faculty group has publicly broached the issue of the war with Kissinger. Aside from one White House meeting last May at whicha group of critical senior Faculty members held an "on-the-record" meeting with him to express their dismay at the Cambodian invasion, other meetings and contacts have been mostly individual and always private.

Kelman said of the number of signatures last night, "It's a respectable number, particularly if you assume that we didn't get it around as much as we wanted. It's a varied list, not a one clique list."
