Washington, D.C.

I think that some of the demonstrations have weakened the position of those who advocate a particular cause. But this doesn’t mean they are illegal. Unless they violate local or Federal laws, I don’t think that we have to take any legal action to protect ourselves. And I think the fact that so many young people and so many other citizens are taking such an active interest in this matter is healthy for the country, whether they agree or disagree with our present policy.
