“The April, May, and June, 1966
issue of "Rights", a self-described
publication of the Emergency Civil
iberties Committee (ECLC), reflects ‘
that PAUL KRASSNER, Editor of "The
- ° Realist" was’a new member of the ECLC
National Council.
A characterization of the National
Emergency Civil Liberties Committee
(NECLC) formerly known as the ECLC
is contained in the appendix hereto.
On September 18, 1968, from 10:51 AM to 11:14 AM,
an SA of the FBI observed ABBIE HOFFMAN conduct a press
conference with Chicago newspaper and television news media
representatives in the lobby of the United States Federal
Building, Chicago, Illinois. Durirg this press conference,
HOFFMAN announced he planned to depart the United States on
Sunday, September 22, 1968, with a group of United States
Yippie type people. He refused to identify members of the
group because he did not want to have them delayed in their
planned travel, for a meeting with 5,000 Yippie type people
in Elsen, Germany. The assembly in Germany is to include
many “rock type bands and singers".
The purpose of the assembly is to march to the
Czech border to confront Russian authority. The group plans
to march to Prague, if they are permitted to cross the Czech
border. They will hold a music festival in Prague for the
expressed purpose of confronting the Russian "pigs". © dOFFHAN
explained that the Russian "pigs" are regardéd as Russian
Government and police authority. The group, including
HOFFMAN, that is to depart the United States allegedly
have United States passports, but do not have visas for
entry to Czechoslovakia.
He asserted he and YIP do not approve of Russian
"pig" oppression in Prague any more than Chicago "pig"
oppression which occurred during the DNC. The group does
not expect any different kind or type of physical oppression
from the Russian “pigs”, than that encountered by YIP from
Chicago pigs’: He observed "Pigs are pigs everywhere and
beating is beating everywhere". If the group is not permitted
to cross the Czech border, members will attempt infiltration
of the border in small unites for an ultimate gathering in
Prague for the Russian "pig" confrontation nuste festival.
