{"value"=>"<p>Turn Toward Peace (TTP) was established in 1961 to coordinate the activities of the nation's many individual groups working for peace. Among its participating organizations were SANE, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, the War Resisters League, the American Veterans Committee, and Americans for Democratic Action. The correspondence includes letters from Robert Pickus, Robert Gilmore, Sanford Gottlieb, Lawrence Scott, and E. Raymond Wilson dealing with the organization of regional TTP groups, funding, the development of promotional materials, the creation of mailing lists, the planning of peace walks, demonstrations, and discussions of such issues as the Berlin crisis, disarmament, strengthening the U. N., the development of a policy toward China, and the Vietnam War. In addition to the personal correspondence there are many memoranda to members of the national committee and copies of correspondence between members. Drafts of fliers, minutes, advertising layouts (much of which was originally enclosed with letters) can now be found with undated correspondence for the pertinent year. Much of the correspondence was addressed to Stephen Siteman, Thomas' secretary.</p> <p>The printed material includes committee meeting minutes, bulletins, unaddressed memoranda, reports, drafts of statements, mailing pieces, information kits, and printed material prepared for TTP sponsored conferences.</p>"}
