HOFFMAN stated FBI agents visited him every third dyy ‘in New York City to obtain } background irSrmation concerning people and asked where finances come from for YIP activity and also ask for infor- mation concerning his own activity. HOFFMAN stated he has asked | FBI agents why they do not investigate police brutality in Chicago, and in 41] cities across the nation. He asserted , i all the FBI agents do is laugh at these suggestions. : HOFFMAN reported he was shot by the Ku Klux Kian, when he was working in the civil rights movement in Miss- ) issippi. He reported on that occasion he furnished FBI agents complete information concerning the shooting. HOFFMAN 4 said all the FBI did on that occasion was to "just take notes and nothing has been done about it to this day". ee] HOFFMAN predicted YIP would continue with “theatre activity’ in the United States and would appear _ at polls on election day and vote for their selected candi- 4 datey the "pig". He stated "theatrical events" would replace OS demonstration activity as such by YIP in the future and ma would occur in opposition to every candidate for national , ) | : office. | a HOFFMAN stated the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is "hokey, a phony, publicity grabbing outfit that let the movement down during the Chicago activity". He noted that plans had been made prior to the Chicago demon- stration activity for the ACLU to set up a procedure to handle arrests, bail, and prosecution activity concerning demon- strators who were arrested. The ACLU people did nothing, but sit in their fancy offices in Chicago during demonstre- tion activity, while the people in the streets were being beaten to death. ACLU did not have anyone at the demonstra- tion scenes and did not have any organization set up to handle the arrest problems of the demonstrators. HOFFMAN reported the Chicago Legal Defense Comuittee (CLDC), 127 North Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois, is handling ¥IF and opposition movement legal problems that developed during DNC demonstration activity and these matters will be pursued. HOFFMAN stated ACLU is through as legal representative of the movement. _SECRAT
