In this paper I prove that concordance implies homotopy for classical links in any 3-manifold. The notion of concordance was first developed by Fox and Milnor in [2] for knots in a 3, and later extended to links in R 3 by FOX, in Problem 25 of [1]. Homotopy of links in a 3-manifold M 3 was defined and studied by Milnor in [5].The proof is entirely geometric, and also quite simple. In fact, at this point I would direct the reader's attention to Figure 4, which indicates a homotopy from a particular ribbon link to the trivial link in R 3. The reader might then be led to the proof that all ribbon links are null-homotopic (Lemma 2.3). The result of this paper has also been obtained by Charles Giffen, independently, and by a different method.
