Ed: The material evidence is contained in the former House Committee and
Senate Committee's on Internal Security. Not just law enforcement testimony,
or intelligence, a lot of people turned states evidence years ago. Some in
the antiwar movement are very frank about what went on. I would suspect
that you have in the archives the former "Situation Report" published by
retired FBI and CIA officials years ago as well. Even in the TFR reports
the Soviets admit they paid and had a degree of control over
the movements. Adm. Stansfield Turner one cited his concern very
aggressively and at one point in time, on several occasions you have the
writings of former Soviet defectors. You can also go through the old Union
Calendars of the HCIS and SCIS which will ID all the reports for the years
the House and Senate ran the committees concerned.

At one point in time the CIA had acquired several intelligence manuals.
However, Adm. Turner's testimony before the Senate Intel Cmte is a very
strong word document. There is testimony of antiwar activists and UC
operators who were inside Cuba during those years who met with North
Vietnamese agents and provided them a wealth of material that would enable
the communist to place pressure on POWs and their families. There are also
House Operations Committee reports. Keep in mind the majority of the
reports were unclassified. All of those reports are based upon sworn
testimony coupled with supporting witnesses and experts a like.

The U.S. Peace Movement was controlled by a single Soviet General and
probably still is. There was also the Manual that was developed to better
understand Soviet lexicon and semantics. A highly intellectual document.

It is also common knowledge that based upon the testimony of FBI and other
national security experts there a decision to deport both Cuban and Soviets
who were known to be operating inside the U.S. running operations that
extend far beyond the diplomatic duties. One of the most interesting cases
was the apprehension of a Soviet KGB officer who recruited college
professors and intellectuals at Columbia. John Baron and writers like Chris
Andrew wrote some extensive volumes of work. Claire Sterling. Others as
well wrote extensively on the subject.

Then you have cases like Burchett who was recruited in 1934 by the Soviets -
he was linked to known American terrorists and activists in the antiwar
movement. The FBI once raided a location and found the diaray and telephone
address book of an international terrorists who was a key activist in the
antiwar movement.

You also have an extensive background of the Tricotinental Conference in
Cuba in the early 1960's in which the leaders of the antiwar movements in
several countries as well as known terrorists attended. Approval to hold it
in Cuba was approved by the Supreme Soviet chambers. The Soviets, Chinese
and Cubans Chaired it. Their were coordinating lines between all of these
groups from country to country. As a result of that conference some 750,
perhaps more law enforcement officers were murdered in the U.S.,
specifically targeted. The Soviets established PLU in Moscow for the
specific purpose of training a cadre of terrorists. The Political Warfare
Schools outside of Havana and in the Czech country side on the Danube River,
specific sites in the former USSR and Eastern Block.

The Soviets spent billions of rubles in developing programs against the
West. Some books like KGB The Inside Story are merely one of many written
by top Soviet agents who once operated in the West and later defected to the
U.S.. On the Wrong Side, and several volumes of books by British and Soviet
defectors. There are volumes of books and studies on Soviet penetration
techniques and how the used various CP against the West, well documented.
Hundreds of antiwar activists sent to Cuba to help cut sugar Cain actually
received training at political warfare schools outside of Havana. Included
are documented photographs. Cuban diplomats and many of their agents were
thrown out of the U.S.. Then you have hundreds upon hundreds of trial
transcripts, Congressional and Senate testimony.

To make a statement that there was no control would indeed be a misjudgment,
a serious misjudgment, a total lack of understanding on how the Soviets were
able to recruit Arafat while at PLU in 1964 along with hundreds of other
terrorist from around the world for the purpose of sending back home to
effectively disrupt their own countries. The entire background and history
of the Tricontential Conference was a solid basis of judge from an
intelligence point of view as to what the communist specific had in mind and
what they wanted to achieve in Vietnam. The Soviets and the Cubans promoted
the idea of global revolution using some of the most violent concepts ever
known to mankind.

The Soviets had developed a very specific doctrine. The Soviets were not
nice people - and where necessary provide advisory roles. The idea of
spreading revolutionary warfare was well defined from 1917 on. By 1964 they
were ready to advance their strategy and as Adm. Turner once defined it
before the Senate Intelligence Committee the problem could no longer be
ignored. However, some in Congress turned a blind eye while some played a
personal role to obstruct the government in containing the problem. I know
you have spent years documenting the Vietnam war. However, you have only put
forward a rather small contribution in this regard. Not to undermined the
fact that you made a significant effort.
