MEMORANDUM FOR:
from
January 20, 1975
GENERAL SCOWCROFT
FROM:
KENNETH M. QUINN kmd
SUBJECT:
ti-Vietnam Activities Scheduled for
H
January 25-27
The "Coalition to Stop the Funding of the War' has scheduled three days
of anti-Vietnam activities in Washington from January 25 to 27. A full
schedule of these activities is at Tab A. The most significant item
on their agenda is the "Peace Convocation to be held at 7:30 p.m.,
Sunday, January 26. It will be followed by a candlelight march to the
White House. George McGovern, Coretta King, and Representative
Dellums are scheduled to appear at the convocation, but it is not clear
whether they will join in the march to the White House. The schedule
also includes a full day of lobbying on the Hill on Monday, January 27.
Ambassador Martin is particularly concerned with these propaganda
efforts and believes they are being orchestrated, if not directed, by
Hanoi. In particular he cites as evidence of this a recent CIA report
from Paris (Tab B). This report quotes a reliable source as saying
the director of the DRV's Paris Information Office said that their main
propaganda efforts in the months ahead would be concentrated in the
United States. The director also reportedly said that the DRV viewed
President Nguyen Van Thieu as their biggest obstacle and that the key to
Thieu's removal lay in the United States. Martin believes that the recent
visit to Hanoi of Fred Branfman, Francis Fitzgerald, et al, as well
as the trip made by four high ranking American clergymen and Don Luce
are part of this overall effort.
