| NY 100-161445 OR tes \. MN j “The April, May, and June, 1966 issue of "Rights", a self-described publication of the Emergency Civil iberties Committee (ECLC), reflects ‘ that PAUL KRASSNER, Editor of "The - ° Realist" was’a new member of the ECLC National Council. A characterization of the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (NECLC) formerly known as the ECLC is contained in the appendix hereto. On September 18, 1968, from 10:51 AM to 11:14 AM, an SA of the FBI observed ABBIE HOFFMAN conduct a press conference with Chicago newspaper and television news media representatives in the lobby of the United States Federal Building, Chicago, Illinois. Durirg this press conference, HOFFMAN announced he planned to depart the United States on Sunday, September 22, 1968, with a group of United States Yippie type people. He refused to identify members of the group because he did not want to have them delayed in their planned travel, for a meeting with 5,000 Yippie type people in Elsen, Germany. The assembly in Germany is to include many “rock type bands and singers". The purpose of the assembly is to march to the Czech border to confront Russian authority. The group plans to march to Prague, if they are permitted to cross the Czech border. They will hold a music festival in Prague for the expressed purpose of confronting the Russian "pigs". © dOFFHAN explained that the Russian "pigs" are regardéd as Russian Government and police authority. The group, including HOFFMAN, that is to depart the United States allegedly have United States passports, but do not have visas for entry to Czechoslovakia. He asserted he and YIP do not approve of Russian "pig" oppression in Prague any more than Chicago "pig" oppression which occurred during the DNC. The group does not expect any different kind or type of physical oppression from the Russian “pigs”, than that encountered by YIP from Chicago pigs’: He observed "Pigs are pigs everywhere and beating is beating everywhere". If the group is not permitted to cross the Czech border, members will attempt infiltration of the border in small unites for an ultimate gathering in Prague for the Russian "pig" confrontation nuste festival.
