Indeed, an important part of their peace drive is concerned with broadening their contact with the masses- another example of the concrete changes within their movement in recent months. They have established links with various trade unions as well as with the peasants by means of a "speaking with the people" campaign. Groups of students travel to the countryside, where they conduct house-to-house surveys and listen to villagers' grievances against the Saigon government.
