Project Lynbrook
On Saturday, April 11, citizens of

of Americans across the Nation to
make known their desire to return
the Bible and prayer to the schools.
They will be partici]5ating in
"Project America," a nationally or-ganized
plan to {'oordinate hundreds
of simidtaneous local, one-day peti-tion
drives. Youth and students in
cities coast-to-coast will go into shop-ping
and business centers nean^st
to them to obtain support in favor
of a Constitutional amendment.
"Project Lynbrook," the local sec-tion
of "Project America," will be
conducted in the village on Saturday
nioming, April 11 th. At that time,
youth signatures will be sought on a
national petition to Congress and
adult signatures o!i individual post-cards
to Congressmen.
"Project America" is being spon-sored
by International Clhristian
Youth-USA, a national organization
which has already gathered a ((uar-ter
of a million >()uth signatures on
the petition to Congress.
The confusion created hy tlu^ Su-preme
(Court's decisions which ruled
against the Bible and pra>'er in tlu^
s c h o o l s , makes a Constitutional
auientlment necessary to clarify and
settle tJn' issue at stake.
l^ep. Frank j. Becker, of I.\n-brook,
who is leading the fight in
(-ongr(\ss, has introduced H.J. lleso-hltion
#693 which would guarantee
the right of vohmtary prayer in any
public institution or place.
