The President of the United S tates should promptly exercise his great powers in a n effort to persuade the IAM to settle this strike within the r easonable perimeter of the Emergency Board report which L.B.J . described as " the framework for a just and prompt settle-, ment." The President should _also ask Congress fo r immediate legislation designed to forbid any future strike in the transportation industry under similai· circumstances as exist in the present controvPrsy which cause such a gr eat inconvenience to t he public, including Vietn am veterans trying to get a few frantic minutes' leave at home.
