Five days after the 25th of April 1974, the Installation Committee of the NOVA University Lisbon approved the sending of a telegram to the Junta de Salvação Nacional (J.S.N.) - the Portuguese name of the so-called National Salvation Boardm congratulating it for having found in the programme adopted by this provisional governmental body "the general lines of the service it proposes to offer the country". It also points out that NOVA "sees the broadest perspectives for its action and expresses to the J.S.N. its adherence to the principles it proclaims and defends".
