Foreign Support for Activities Planned to Disrupt
or Harass the Republican National Convention

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION:

Indications remain limited, thus far, of foreign efforts
to inspire, support or take advantage of activities designed
to disrupt or harass the National Convention of the Republican
Party in San Diego, 21-23 August 1972. The concept of coordinated
States was generally endorsed at the recent World Assembly for
Peace and Independence of the Peoples of Indochina; however, the
disruptive actions at the American national political conventions.

BACKGROUND:

At the Soviet-controlled World Assembly for Peace and
Independence of the Peoples of Indochina, held in Versailles
from 10-13 February 1972, there was mention of American plans
for demonstrations at both the Republican and Democratic
National Conventions. The final draft resolution from the
Conference's "Action Commission" contains an appendix submitted
by American delegates whose goal was to secure global coordination
national support to six weeks of domestic antiwar action and
demonstrations, from 1 April to 15 May 1972, and concludes with
the statement: "This campaign will lead up to the Democratic
Party Convention at Miami on July 9, 1972, and the Republican
Party Convention in San Diego on August 21, 1972."

The final "Resolution of the Paris World Assembly for the
Peace and Independence of the Indochinese Peoples" of 13 February
1972, drafted by the "Political Commission" states:

"In the United States particularly, the protest against
the war is voiced more and more strongly, under various
forms, such as draft evasions, desertions, resistance, demo-
calls for support to these progressive and antiwar forces in
the United States, and asks the governments to grant asylum
to deserters and to support their right to repatriation.
All together, the peoples of the world will efficiently help
to impose on the U.S. Government the restoration of peace
and independence and freedom in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia."
