II. ACTIVITIES OF CALC
On January 19, 1973, Special Agents (SAS)
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) observed a Mass
and demonstratian snonspred by CALC condemning United
bo i ee de od
States involvement in Southeast Asia; the further purpose
of this peace demonstration was to demand total withdrawal
of United States troops from Vietnam. In order to
Gramatize their point, representatives of CALC called for
individuals to go to Washington, D. C., on January 20, 1973,
to participate in demonstrations opposing President NIXON's
inauguration on that date,
Reverend DANIEL BERRIGAN, well known anti-war
activist priest, gave the sermon at the above peace mass,
which was celebrated at the Church of the Holy Family, 315
East 47th Street, NYC, NY. Immediately after this Mass,
a@ rally for peace was held at DAG HAMMASKOLD PLAZA,
directly across the street from Holy Family Church. Two
noted speakers at this rally were EILEEN EAGAN and Sister
MARY LUKE TOBIN, both of whom were introduced as national
directors of CALL.
In the February 6, 1973 edition of the "New York
Times," a daily NY newspaper, there was an article headlined,
“AMNESTY STRATEGY PARLEY SET FOR PARIS." This article
reported, among other things, that TOD ENSIGN, a lawyer for the
Safe Return Committee (SRC), announced at a news conference
on February 5, 1973 in NYC that representatives from CALC
would be present at a strategy meeting to be heldin Paris,
France from February 19-February 22, 1973. The purpose of this
