The demonstration consisted of about 25 persons holding placards bearing such slogans as "Make Abortions a Political Issue," “Stop the War Now," "One Point Peace Program-U.S, Out of America Now-Zippies," "War Criminals Out of Minmi Beach." The signs indicated the demonstrations were sponsored by the Zippies, There were no incidents and no arrests were made, It was noted that WILLIAM CRAMMER, Chairman, Republican Rules Committee, had informed the demonstrators it was an open meeting and they could come in, Special Agents, FBI, Miami, August 15, 1972 On August 16, 1972, a demonstration was held at the Fontainebleau Hotel, Miami Beach, Florida, This demonstration was from 12330 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. and was sponsored by the YIP, There were about 60 demonstrators and it was noted that several of them were also Zippies, The demonstrators wanted to go into the hotel but were turned back and were told they could not enter, They held a demonstration near the entrance to the hotel and on the circular drive leading to the hotel entrance, About five of the Yippies did vomit near some bushes where they were demonstrating and this constituted the planned "puke-in" which they had hoped to have inside the hotel, The demonstrators had numerous signs such as “War Criminals Out of Miami Beach," "Nixon Hateg Gays," "Abortion Now," “Nixon ig a Pirate," "Free Dope,” "Liberate Gay People," "$6,500 for Four,” "Napalm Hurts,” "Stop bombing the Dikes," "Power to the Viet Cong," and "Kick Nixon Out." They sang some songs such as "Il, 2, 3, 4, we don't want your (obgenity) war,” and "Power to the People” to a rock music beat. About 15 managed to slip into the hotel through different entrances but were immediately spotted and ejected, There were no arrests and no violence occurred, -5- CONFIDEMTIAL
