Dear John,
Congratulations. I was really happy that the Man saw fit to
give you the recognition you so greatly deserve. The first thought
that came to my mind was that tens of thousands of screaming females
throughout the world must be saying, "What do you know - could that
really be the 'Dean Machine'"?
My best wishes to Maureen.
Your friend,
Mike S

SUBJECT:
Potential Disruptions at the
Republican National Convention
With the Democratic National Convention less then a month away,
plans for disruptions at both the Democratic and Republican con-
ventions are still very much in a state of flux. General agreement
has been reached by most interested groups that protest activity
should be focused on the Republican Convention, but the mood is very
pessimistic as to its probable success.
At a Miami Conventions Coalition (MCC) planning meeting held in
Miami Beach June 11-12, leaders of this predominate local coordin-
ating group expressed strong concern about possible failure because
of the location of the conventions, the absence of a radical youth cul-
ture, and the lack of a "constituency group" base. The possibility of
cancelling all demonstrations in the event Senator McGovern is nomin-
ated was also discussed out of fear that disruptions at the Republican
Convention might damage his chances. MCC currently is working on
a massive display called "Expose '72" which will consist of exhibits
concerning the air war, the economy, Chicano and Black movements,
etc.
The Youth International Party (YIP) has apparently agreed with MCC
not to stage major demonstrations during the Democratic Convention
but to hold their fire for the Republicans. The Anti-War Union (AU),
led by Rennie Davis and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW),
which has now established a headquarters in Miami, remain among
the few groups intending to demonstrate at both conventions. The VVAW
recently initiated contact with a Cuban exile group in Miami to alleviate
its fears of possible attacks by anti-Castro exiles, whose potential for
violence also worries local officials.

Law enforcement agencies continue to train and plan for the con-
ventions. 750 men are available from local enforcement agencies
for use at both conventions, while 8, 000 Florida National Guards-
men will be standing by. The Miami Beach City Council recently
passed an ordinance providing stiff penalties for protestors who
march without a permit. Action on the location of a campsite for
demonstrators was deferred by the Council in the face of stiff
local resistence to the granting of any campsite.
