says where you going, Boston indistinctl? Hay I see your ticket?
Cause she, you know, you already look a little criminal. You

get to San Francisco you take the receipt, and remember you have

you cash it in. Say you came by covered wagon. Fly the American

"that that's political repression, you know? What else is
going on here? It's all a question of definition. Is a
marijuana bust political repression? Is it?"
Yeah" from some in audience!
"See. In New York you can get, for selling to a
minor marijuana you can get up to twenty years in prison. For
killing the inckin pig yon can only get ten. l nean that's,
now people, people run around and they say well we can change it.
We can change it through the normal means, you know? But the
normal means are not there. That's an illusion. This country
isn't going to legalize marijuana in five years or fifty years.
The penalties are getting stiffer.- The repression is getting
stiffer. And that's a fuckin illusion, saying that it's gonna
change, that there's hope. That's a belief that there's still
such a thing as political liberalism in this country. There
isn't. There is no political liberalism. That's why Agnew has
to attack NBC and CBS and ABC, cause there ain't no fuckin
liberal political force that he can attack. There ain't none.
That was all cleaned out in l96B,in August, in Chicago. That
was ended. So there is no way of changing it that way. There's
only changing it through our action in the streets. And when you
have that situation the Government's going to move against you,
and it is moving; it's moving culturally and it's moving politically

is a base for launching guerrilla attacks, that's all it is.
It ain't a fuckin place to go get an education, it ain't a place
to get a degree. It's a place where there are a mass of people
and a place to launch a guerrilla attack on an institution of
America and use it as such and that's it; and that's all it's
there for.

Well, where you going? It'll be over by then. Hell, we gotta

state of mind. So like he's in there and he's going to change it,
you know? Perhaps you all, you were probably doing the same thing

Another comment from the audience.!
"No, no, because well they're quite different stories.
I mean, I think, I think James Earl Ray operated within a con-
spiracy. I think there was a lot of money behind him, I think
that's how he got to Canada, that's how they fucked up the
communications system, I think Sirhan Sirhan acted as a lone
individual following his political consciousness the way that he
felt he had to do and, uh, it's tough criticizing the man, I'm
sorry. I mean, uh..."
Comment from audience!
"You see, the alternative of saying no, of putting
down individual action means that people shouldn't act individually,

"they should only wait till they get themselves a huge
organization. That was a good question, tho."
Additional comments or questions from audience,
indistinct.!
"Uh, no, no, I don't think so in that situation, no.
I don't think that's what happened. It's all theory, I mean
one of the problems is in hos you answer a question like that.
About five years ago I was a pacifist. I worked a year and a
half
as a
life
highin Mississippi, Americus, Georgia, I believed in pacifism
tactic and as a way of life. Maybe not so much as a way of
cause I was like kind of a hood, you know, going through
school. Shit like that. I mean, I didn't quite understand
it but I went along with it. And it seemed decent and moral and
right. And my colored people, an audience like this, they say
well what are you gonna do if Hitler rapes your mother? That
was the big question, you know, that you always ask pacifists.
So finally, after giving a lot of bullshit answers for about two
or three years I said well, uh, shoot the fucker. And the people
weren't happy with that answer, see? Cause the same people were
asking the same question. And that's what was meant by that
question. What he was asking was, are there political figures
today or yesterday in this country who can effect the kind of
revolution and the kind of revolutionary society we want to see

There's no way of answering that question except to say that
Sirhan Sirhan was a better man than Robert Kennedy. There's
no way of answering that, because that's what it is. It's an

BLACK PANTHER PARTY,
Also Known As
Black Panther Partv for Self-Defense_ _ _ _____7_._l:7_ _t_;:;r - r _A _ _
According to its official newspaper, the Black Panther
Party BPP! was started during December, 1966, in Oakland,
California, to organize black people so they can take control of
the life, politics and the destiny of the black community. It
was organized by Bobby Seale, BPP Chairman, and Huey P. Newton,
BPP Minister of Defense. Newton was sentenced in 1958 to serve
2 to 15 years after being convicted of manslaughter in connection
with the killing of an Oakland police officer.
The official newspaper, "The Black Panther," which
further describes itself as the "Black Community News Service,"
states that the BPP advocates the use of guns and guerrilla
tactics in its revolutionary program to end oppression of the
black people. Residents of the black eomnsnity"are"orgea'ro arm
themselves against the police who are consistently referred to
in the publication as "pigs" who should be killed.
"The Black Panther issue of September 7, l96B,
contains an editorial by BPP Minister of Education, George Mason
Hurray, which ends with the following:
"Black men. Black people, colored persons of America,
revolt everywhere! Arm yourselves. The only culture worth keep-
ing is a revolutionary culture. Change. Freedom everywhere.
Dynamite! Black Power. Use the gun. Kill the pigs everywhere."
Included in the introduction to an article appearing
in the October 5, 1968, edition of "The Black Panther" is the
statement ...we will not dissent from American Government. He
will overthrow it."
Issues of "The Black Panther" regularly contain
quotations from the writings of Chairman Mao Tse~tung of the
People's Republic of China and feature Mao's statement that
political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
The national headquarters of the BPP is located at
3105 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley, California. Branches have been
established et various locations throughout the United States.

ETUPWTS. FOR A .D5"°¢.R5T¥¬,§°£I_5T¥
A source has advised that the Students for a Democratic
Society SDS!, as presently regarded, came into being at a founding
convention held June, 1962, at rort Huron, Michigan. From an
initial posture of "participatory democracy" the line of the
national leadership has revealed a growing Marxist-Leninist ad-
herence which currently calls for the building of a revolutionary
youth movement. Concurrently, the program of SDS has evolved from
civil rights struggles to an anti-Vietnar war stance to an advocacy
of a militant anti-imperialist position. China, Vietnam and Cuba
are regarded as the leaders of worldwide struggles against United
States imperialism whereas the Soviet Union is held to be revision-
ist and also imperialist.
At the June, 1959, SDS National Convention, Progressive
Labor Party FLP! forces in the organization were expelled. As a
result, the National Office NO! group maintained its National
Headquarters at 1608 west Madison Street, Chicago, and the PLP
faction set up headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This
headquarters subsequently moved to Boston. Each group elected its
own national officers, ehich include three national secretaries
and a National Interim Committee of eight. Both the N0 forces
and the PLP forces claim to be the true SDS. Both groups also
print their versions of "New Left Notes" which sets forth the line
and the program of the particular faction. The N0 version of
"New Left Notes" was recently printed under the title "The Fire
Next Time" to achieve a broader mass appeal.
Two major factions have developed internally within the
NO group, namely, the Weatherman or Revolutionary Youth Movement
RYH! I faction, and the RYH II faction. Weatherman is action-
oriented upholding Castro's position that the duty of revolution-
aries is to make revolution. Weatherman is regarded by RYM II as
an adventuristic, elitist faction which denies the historical role
of the working class as the base for revolution. RYM II maintains
that revolution, although desired, is not possible under present
conditions, hence emphasizes organizing and raising the political
consciousness of the working class upon whom they feel successful
revolution depends. Although disclaiming CODTPOI and domination
by the Communist Party, USA, leaders in these two factions have in
the past proclaimed themselves to be communists and to follow the
precepts of a Marxist-Leninist philosophy, along pro-Chinese
communist lines.

STUDENTS ron A DEMOCRATIC socxsrv
A second source has advised that the PL? faction, which
is more commonly known as the Worker Student Alliance, is dominated
and controlled by members of the PLP, who are required to identify
themselves with the pro-Chinese Marxist-Leninist philosophy of the
PLP. They advocate that an alliance between workers and students
is vital to the bringing about of a revolution in the United States
SD5 regions and university and college chapters, although
operating under the outlines of the SDS National Constitution, are
autonomous in nature and free to carry out independent policy
reflective of local conditions. Because of this autonomy internal
struggles reflecting the major factional interests of SDS have
occurred at the chapter level since the beginning of the 1969-70
school year.
A characterization of PLP is attached.

PROGRESSIVE4L§§Q§i§ARTY PLP!
"The New York Times city edition, Tuesday, April 20,
1965, page 27, reported that a new part of "revolutionary
socialism" was formally founded on April l9, 1955, under the
name of the PLP which had been known as the Progressive Labor
Movement.
According to the article, "The Progressive Labor
Movement was founded in 1962, by Hilton Rosen and Mortimer Scheer
after they were expelled from the Communist Party of the United
States for assertedly following the Chinese Communist line."
A source advised on June 3, 1968, that the PLP held
its Second National Convention in New York City, Hay 31 to June 2
1969, at which time the PLP reasserted its objective of the
establishment of a militant working class movement based on
Marxism-Leninism. This is to be accomplishedthr6ugh"the'Partyls
overall revolutionary strategy of raising the consciousness of
the people and helping to provide ideological leadership in the
working class struggle for state power.
The source also advised that at the Second National
Convention Hilton Rosen was unanimously reelected National
Chairman of the PLP and Levi Laub, Fred Jerome, Jared Israel,
William Epton, Jacob Rosen, Jeffrey Gordon and Walter Linder
were elected as the National Committee to lead the PLP until the
next convention.
The PLP publishes "Progressive Labor, a bimonthly
magazine; "World Revolution," a quarterly periodical; and
"Challenge-Desafio," a monthly newspaper.
The April, 1969, issue of "Challenge-Desafio" sets
forth that "Challenge is dedicated to the people's fight for a
new way of life--where the working men and women control their
own homes and factories; where they themselves make up the entire
government on every level and control the schools, courts, police
and all institutions which are now used to control them."
Source advised on Hay B, 1969, that the PLP utilizes an
address of General Post Office Box 808, Brooklyn, New York, and
also utilizes an office in Room 617, l Union Square West, New Yor
New York.

a group of some thirty persons maintaining a so-called

trial of Black Panther Party BPP! member Lonnie Mc Lucas,
this trial currently taking place in New Haven.
Neither Hoffmann nor Rubin were observed on this occasion
to have spoken before this grou or to h p ave engaged in
any demonstration type activities.
Further, regarding the presence of Hoffmann and
Rubin in New Haven, the "Chicago Sun-Times , a daily
Chicago newspaper, edition of August 31, 1970, contained
an article datelined New Haven, Connecticut which con-
cerned the Lonnie Me Lucas murder trial. The article
reflected that the Jury considering kidnaping and con-
spiracy charges against BPP member He Lucas, ended its
fifth day of deliberation on Sunday August 30, 1970!
after indicating to the trial Judge that it was in dis-
agreement. The article indicated that a group of

that these two individuals sat on a low brick wall across
the street from the court house but declined to talk to
any newsmen "except for members of the revolutionarv press"
according to Rubin. Hoffmann was reported as having stated
we won't talk to a crowd of less than 1,000".
Regarding the presence of Hoffmann and Rubin in
New Haven, it might he noted that Au'u5t 31,1970Deputy United States Marshal Chicago, advised
that there was no itinvrary ma e zvai an e to the office
of the United States Marshal locally reflecting any travel
on the part 01 these two individuals to New Haven.
In this c0nncvti0n it might be noted that both
Hoitmann and Rubin were defendants in the recent so-called
"Conspiracy Trial held in Chicago involving the trial of
defendants indicted for violation of the Federal Antiriot
Law during the course of the Democratic National Convention,
Chicago. August, 1968.
Both Hoifmann and Rubin were convicted oi the
substantive acts with which they were charged in this in-
dictment and additionally both were cited f0rCOmEmpt of
court by trial Judge Julius J. Hoffman as a result of their
activities and statements made during the course 0* the
trial. Both were ordered incarcerated by Judge Hoffman
in Cook County Jail, Chicago, without bond.
As a result of subsequent appeals by counsel
acting on behalf of defendants in that trial, including
Noffmann and Rubin, the United States Court of Appeals,
Seventh Circuit, Chicago, ordered all defendants released
on bond, however, as a condition of this bond all, including
Hoffmann and Rubin, were ordered to advise the United States

ABBOTT HOWARD HOFFMAN
ngERRY CLYpE,RQBlH _,
Se tember 13, 1910, QInited States Court o ppea s USCA!,
even rcu , Chicago, made available a copy of a
motion filed September l?, 1970, with the USCA by
counsel acting on behalf of Hoffman and Rubin, A
copy of this motion is attached to each copy of this
memorandum.
Although the motion is self explanatory in
nature it might be noted that it reflects contemplated
foreign travel by Hoffman and Rubin to various
European countries inclusive of Italy, France,
England, the Netherlands, Switzerland and possibly
Sweden. This travel is to commence on September 30,
1970, in the event it is approved by the USCA.
In this connection it might be noted that
both Hoffman and Rubin were defendants in the recent
so-called "Conspiracy Trial" held in Chicago during
the period September, 1969, to the middle of
February, 1970. These two individuals, and others,
had been indicted previously for a violation of the
Federal Rntiriot Law as a result of actions on their
part during the course of the Democratic National
Convention, Chicago, during August, 1968.

Both Hoffman and Rubin were convicted of
the substantive acts with which they were charged in
this indictment and additionally both were cited for
contempt of court by trial judge Julius J. Hoffman
as a result of their actions and statements made in
court during the course of the trial. Both were
Subsequently ordered incarcerated by Judge Hoffman
in Cook County Jail, Chicago, without bond.
As a result of the subsequent appeals by
counsel acting on behalf of the defendants in that
trial, including Hoffman and Rubin, on February 28,
1970, the USCA ordered all defendants released on
bond. As a condition of this bond, however, all
defendants were ordered to advise the United States
Marshal, Chicago, of all travel outs1dethe* "
respective states of their residence,and were
ordered to secure permission of the USCA in
connection with»any travel outside the continental
limits of the United States.
Both Hoffman and Rubin reside in New York
City, New York.

The approval for this revised travel schedule had been
granted by the court over objections entered by the United

On November I8, 1970, a Spccial Agent SA!,
of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation FBI!, observed the arrival of Hoffman
at O'Hara International Airport, located in the north
suburban area of Chicago, via Delta Airlines flight
387 fro Atlanta. Upon disembarking from this flight,
he was met by representatives of Chicago news media
_-and numernzvs persons d"'"""" if. "1 .i;; it" 5;;-L, -s
He subsequently was observed to have departed
5'Hare Airport in a 1966 gold coloree Cadillac sedan,
Illinois 1970 License number 725-82¢. This automobile was
driven by a white male, approximately 30 years of age, 5'5"
in height, weighing approximately 18 pounds, wearing glasses,
with medium brown long hair and a full beard. This indiaidual
appeared very well acquainted with the news media personnel
present. Hoffman spoke briefly with the press before de-
parting the airport, but his comments could not be heard.
Records as made available by the Bureau of Motor
Vehicle Registration,Office of the Secretary of State, State
of Illinois, reflect that a 1966 Cadillac, 1970 Illinois
license number 725-82%, is registered to Michael C. Drexler,
596i North Paulina Street, Chicago.
The November 19, 1970 edition of the "Chicago Sun
Times", a daily Chicago newspaper, under the byline of Paul
Malloy, contained an article entitled "Uninhibited, unbthed»
Abbie ilits into Chicago-for hearing". The article reflectedthat Hoffman, described as groggy and unshaven, had flown in,

Iith plans for a crusade to Vietnam, where the youth of the
world would negotiate a peace - or else Q according to the
article. He was noted to have said to the press at O'Hare .
upon his arrival that American members of his party - students,
lawyers and doctors"- would confer in the next four months with
their counterparts in Japan, Mexico and Latin America, co-
ordinate plans and then journey to Vietnam to work out details
for a pe3Ce treaty.
The article relates that Hoffman had stated that if
U.S, troops are not out of Vietnam by April 25, no year noted!,.
then the Yippies Youth International Party! would arrange to be
in Washington, D.C., en masse on Hay 1. Hoffman, according to
this article, was not explicit about tte nature of this demon-
stration, describing it once as an 'httack"and later as 8
'bonfrontation". When asked by a reporter what form the 'attack"
would take, the article quotes him as stating, We have lots of

Hoffman reportedly nas in Chicago for hearings to
begin November 19, 1970 on whether any of the Jurors in the Chicago
7 Conspiracy trial received improper communications during their
deliberations. Regarding those hearinga, Hoffman had stated,
We always thought the jury is the highest authority in the
courtroom, but Judge Wh&t'SHiSNme Yoffman! didn't think so."
The article had continued that Hoffman described four of the
jurors as sympathetic to the defendants during the tria§. and
hoped that at the hearings they would reconfirm their sympathy.
We always had the feeling that if the jury had considered all
the evidence we would have been freed. So I hope those jurors
stick to their guns'§ he is quoted as stating.
At one point, the article describes Hoffman further
as at times somber and at times bursting into unexplained
laughter. He had interrupted the brief press conference on
one occasion to state, tan, have I got a headache. Ims any-
body here got any acid."
On November 19, 1970, and November 20, 1970, Hoffman
was observed by Special Agents of the Chicago Office of the FBI,

Hoffman's attendance at the hearing session on November 19,

defendants who was in Chicago for the hearing. It also noted
that a hearing had been held that date in Municipal Court,
Chicago, before Judge Kenneth Wendt, at which Judge Wendt had
refused a motion made by s local attorney on Hoffman's behalf,

BLACK PANTHLR PARTY BPP!,
Also known as
Black Panther Partv for Self Defense
According to the official newspaper of the BPP,
the BPP was started during December, 1966, in Oakland,
California, to organize black people so they can take control
of the life, politics, and the destiny of the black community.
It was organized by BOBBY G, SEALE, BPP Chairman, and HUEY P,
NLWTON, Minister of Defense, BPP.
The official newspaper, called "The Black Panther,"
regularly states that the BPP advocates the use of guns and
guerrilla tactics in its revolutionrry program to end oppression
of the black people. Residents of 1he black community are
urged to arm themselves against the police who are consistently
referred to as "pigs" who should he killed.
The newspaper, in its isste of September 7, 1968,
had an article by the then Minister oi hducation, GLOHGh MURRAY.
This article ended with the fo11Owit;:
"Black men. Black people, colored persons
of America, revolt everywhere! Arm yourselves.
The only culture worth keejing is revolutionary
culture. Change. Freedom everywhere.
Dynamite! Black power. Use the gun. Kill
the pigs everywhere."
The BPP newspaper, issue of October 5, 1968, had an
article introduced with the following statement: "We will
not dissent from American government. We will overthrow it."
DAYID HILLIARD, Chief 0! Staff, BPP, in a speech
at the San FTaDCiSCO P010 Field on November 15, 1969, Said
"We will kill RICHARD NIXON."
DAVID HILLIARD, in the "New York Times," issue of
December 13, 1969, was quoted as follows: "We advocate the very
direct overthrow of the government by way of force and violence.

Hoffman did not have a contact in Quebec as of the

notify the United States Marshal, Chicago, as soon as arrange-
ments in Quebec were made.
Breen advised that on January 5, l97l, the USCA

as requested.
In connection with the above, it might be noted
that Hoffman was a defendant in the so-called Conspiracy
Seven trial which concluded in Chicago in February, 1970,
and which involved as defendants persons indicted by a
Federal Grand Jury, Chicago, for violation of the Federal
Antiriot Law, as a result of their actions surrounding the
August, 1968 Democratic National Convention, Chicago. Hoffman
was convicted by the trial jury of the substantive act with
which charged in this indictment, and further, on February lb,
1970, was cited by trial Judge Julius J. Hoffman for contempt
of court as a result of his actions and statements during the
trial. He was ordered incarcerated on February la, l9?0, by
Judge Hoffman without bond.
On February 28, 1970, the USCA, as a result of
appeals filed by attorneys acting for Hoffman and other
defendants ordered Hoffman admitted to bond, with the pro-vision that the United States Marshal, Chicago be notified*f all travel outside his state of residence Haw York! and
that approval of all travel outside the continental United
States be obtained from the USCA.
Hoffman is a white male, residing at 11% East 13th
Street, New York City, New York. He was born November 3, 1936
at Worcester, Massachusetts.

think the Russians or Cubans are nancing Abbie Hoffman.
The answer is they dont need much money. Hoffman,

Reference is made to Chicago memorandum of January
8, 1971, under the above-caption. which set forth the plans of
Hoffman to travel in Canada over the period January 12 to 15,
1971. That memorandum also contained descriptive information
regarding Hoffman, his status as a convicted felon, with appeal
pending, as well as the current restrictions imposed upon his
travel by order of the Seventh Circuit United States Court of
Appeals, Chicago.
On January 26, 1971, Assistant United States Attorney
James Breen, Northern District of Illinois, Chicago, made
available a copy of a motion filed that date with the United
States Court of Appeals USCA!, Seventh Circuit, Chicago, by
counsel acting on behalf of Hoffman.
This motion requested permission of the USCA for
Hoffman to travel to Toronto and London, Province of Ontario,
Canada, from on or about February 2, 1971, through on or about
February 4, 1971. The purpose of this travel was to enable
Hoffman to fulfill an invitation to speak at Fanshaw College,
London, and to tape a television show and confer with his lawyers
in Toronto.
Hoffman advised in this motion that he did not know
where he would be staying while in London or Toronto, but while
in Canada he could be contacted through his Canadian attorney,
Ian Scott, 121 Richmond Street, West Toronto.
