USC Balog restricted Hoffman's travel to T" - 1, ; ' his New York State residence when Hoffman requested permission k. ,9 for travel to Prague, Czechoslovakia. .3 On September 18, 1968, from 10:51 AM to 11:14 AM and $A of the FBI observed Hoffman conduct a press conference with Chicago newspaper and television news media representatives in the lobby of the United States Federal Buiding, Chicago, Illinois. During this press conference, Hoffman announced he planned to depart the United States on Sunday, September 22, 1968, with a group of United States Yippie fype people. He refused to identify members of the group because he did not want to have them delayed in their planned travel, rdr a meeting with 5,000 Yippie type people in Elsen, Germany. The assembly in Germany is to include many "rock type bands F; and singers." ?f'*.*.: 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 -cu.-I4 ; border. They will hold a music festival in Prague for the n expressed purpose of confronting the Russian "Pigs." Hoffman explained that the Russian "Pigs" are regarded as Russian Government and police authority. The group, including ~ . I .~ . Hoffman, that is to depart the United States allegedly 1 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 oppressnan 'I from the Russian "Pigs", that 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 smallunites for an ultimate gathering in Prague for the Russian "Pig" confrontation music festival. ..,_ . Hoffman stated his plans are now uncertain for the %§¥§ Prague trip because of the pending Federal charge against him. He will determine his legal status from his attorney If he ' I--"- ft decides to proceed to Prague he will probably never return A :.":""r3'»;.' 1 i¢."y,.| to the United States. . - 3 _ Rf! 1 , . .

He stated he wants to be permitted to return to the United States because a lot of work remains to be finished in this sl, country. He asserted his series of recent arrests in Chicago are harrassment and revenge tactics by "Government Pigs" to prevent him from carrying on with his Work. He pointed -w out he has been arrested 23 times and never convicted, and the current arrests are a continuation of "Pig determination F to stop his work. He advised he voluntarily returned to Chicago to answer city criminalcharges against him, which grew out of activity at the DNC. He observed the charges against him are absurd and he could hot have been extradited for return to Illinois to be tried for his alleged offenses. He reported E, i he voluntarily returned to Chicago to obtain court permission EB L to leave the United States for his planned trip to Prague. He pointed out that the City of Chicago obscenity charge against him is ridiculous in its being based on his arrest for having an obscene word printed on his forehead. He C-___-'4'.-V observed such action by him is not a violation of law. Hoff- man reported that the nations outstlnding freelance photographer is going to exhibit a large, face portrait of Hoffman with -- the obscene word printed on his forehead, which was taken 2- during the demonstration activity at the DNC, in a photography show. Hoffman surmised he will be considered, at the very least, an art object. __.-Q He commented that the Federal charge regarding a crime on an aircraft is ridiculous, He asserted he did not commit a criminal act on the aircraft. The knife in his possession when arrested was a $3 pen knife purchased in _ = New York City, which he voluntarily surrendered to Chicago police "Pigs." The knife was not a switchblade and was not E? a dangerous weapon. He asserted, "I'm living in a police 5.1 state, but that's the way it goes in this country from the '_ . pigs." Hoffman-confirmed he is under contract with Dell Publication Company of New York to write a book due for release sometime in October, 1968, entitled "Revolution for the Hell Of It." He stated he may make a million dollars from publication of this book and from publication of a children's f sti- book he is in the process of writing. .1, . u._.'

He stated he does not need money, does not work, and does not ever plan to work because he is a passive revolution- ary artist. Re observed everything is free, "who needs money? He reported he is in the process of completely redeveloping New York City and has things there well underway. From l4th ;~-- . Avenue on, things are well organized, "free sex, free narcotics I the world is a ball." He invited everyone to join the free activity in his section of New York City. Hoffman observed he has done such a good job in New York City he does not know why he wants to leave it. He asked, "Why I'm thinking of / _. going to Prague I don't know." Hoffman also confirmed he has been approached by _. unidentified motion picture concerns with propositions for making movies of his life story. He stated he does not plan to play the starring role in the movie because he is not a movie star. He asserted, if James Dean were still alive he would choose him for the role. -w~w- Hoffman stated that "he ioved"Chicago Mayor Richard Da1ey'sfilm concerning demonstration activity in Chicago that occurred during the DNC which was entitled "What Trees 3!: Have They Planted?" "It was magnificent, excellent and -3., _'~, .- '1: l?sT ."- ,r" a groovy." Hoffman observed the film is exactly what the '.-J -.2 underground movement wants exhibited. He revealed that be I-I,..-H > made a request of NBC and CBS, without a request for equal time, for the TV networks to air the program nationally without edit or further comment. Hoffman observed that there is were only two critical comments he would make concerning the film. The first was that the Chicago professor who narrated the film was boring, The second criticism was that the film - ~ _ reported that no one was seriously hurt during the demonstra- tion activity. Hoffman said the statement concerning serious injury was not exactly correct because a 17 year old boy from Sioux City, Iowa, Dean Johnson, was shot and killed by a - Chicago "cop" during the demonstration activity. Hoffman stated he has heard from radio and television stations across the nation that his life has been threatened on at least 25 separate occasions since the Chicago DNC demonstration ..- _, activity. He stated during the time he was in the custody of , ":5. the Chicago Police Department after being arrested dunng DNC demonstration activity 3 Chicago police officer by the name of Hendley phonetic spelling! showed Hoffman a _ 5 - '| 1 I 92 <7 G L 92 '- J'_ ABBOTT HOFFMAN, ALSO KNOWN AS rV , .92'. ..

Hoffman said "are you kidding?", when asked by reporters at the press conference if he was going to make :1 ?--92'? a complaint to either local or Federal officials concerning the alleged threats on his life. Hoffman stated FBI agents visited him every third day in New York City to obtain P. background information concerning people and asked where finances come from for YIP activity and also ask for infor- mation concerning his own activity. Hoffman stated he has asked FBI Agents why they do not investigate police brutality in Chicago, and in all cities across the nation. He asserted all the FBI agents do is laugh at these suggestions. Hoffman reported he was shot by the Ku Klux Klan, when he was working in the civil rights movement in Miss- issippi. He reported on that occasion he furnished FBI I agents complete information concerning the shooting. Hoffman said all the FBI did on that occasion was to "just take I'1. Is- notes and nothing has been done about it to this day " t Hoffman predicted YIP would continue with "theatre activity" in the United States and would appear at polls on election day and vote for their selected candi- _--.-_-4 .- date, the "pig." He stated "theatrical events" would replace demonstration activity as such by YIP in the future and would occur in opposition to every candidate for national -' =- , office. a- _' _ 3. v Hoffman stated the American Civil Liberties Union ACLU! is "hokey, a phony, publicity grabbing outfit that let the movement down during the Chicago activity." He ._-i, noted that plans had been made prior to the Chicago demon- stration activity for the ACLU to set up a procedure to handle arrests, bail, and prosecution activity concerning demon- strators who were arrested. The ACLU people did nothing, - 1 » but sit in their fancy offices in Chicago during Demonstra- tion activity, while the people in the streets were being Q52» beaten to death. ACLU did not have anyone at the demonstra- J. 1 tion scens and did not have any organization set up to handle the arrest problems of the demonstrators. v Hoffmann reported the Chicago Legal Defense Committee CLDC!, 127 North Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois, is i"¢@ _ 5 _ I 92 L ~<. . - ts - J 92. 1 A 4 1 .4. . 5 -.--TY I - ,1 .'.

Stein stated CLDC is in the process of securing atfidavits and statements from _92~ _ ,_ witnesses for the purpose of preparing over $100,000,000 worth of civil law suits against the City of Chicago and Mayor Richard Daley for injury and damage resulting from .__._a.-_ activity that occurred during the DNC. eh ; Chicago Police Department, advise a an o ns n, allegedly shot during the demonstration activity that --2'. -Q. 7 occurred while the DNC was in progress, referred to by ". >;. » Koffman,was an Indian youth, who was stopped by Chicago Police Officers regarding a traffic violation matter.

The Emergency Civil Liberties Committee is an organization with headquarters in New York, whose avowed purpose is to abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities and discredit the FBI. * * * The committee finds that the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee, established in 1951, although representing itself as a non-Communist group, actually wk: operates as a front for the Communist Party. It has repeatedly assisted, by means of funds and legal aid, Communists involved 15" in Smith Act violations and similar legal p;oc1edings. Cne of its chief activities Zr has been and still is the dissemination oi voluminous Communist propaganda material. --Q-__ FRANK WILKINSON was called as a witness when he appeared in Atlanta as a representative of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee to propagandize against the Committee > on Un-American Activities and to protest 92 its hearings. In 1956 WILKINSON was identified as a Communist Party member by a former FBI undercover agent within the Party. Summoned at that time to answer the allegation, his reply to all questions was "I am answering no questions of this ccmvittee This also became his stock reply to questions ..¢.4 #3 ./ ' /; .1 /" "3 > - _ com-"1 NTIAL I CONFI WTIAL Youth Internaf "a1 Party, Also InternalKnown Sccurit$ As ii; - Les Miscellaneous ' * ct; I ' APPENDIX *-.' - .;§~,. .2 1* I ti 1r_'. gag NATIGNAL smssesucr CIVIL '-92 R; }IBERTl§§,COMMITT§E_iCONT'Dl . 9" vhen he appeared during the Atlanta -1. .'_ hearings. * * * WILKINSON has since been §# convicted of contempt of Congress and sentenced to one year in jail. I _,, Disputing the non-Communist claim of the organization, the committee finds that a number of other individuals connected with the ECLC alsohave been identified under y oath as Communists. * * *' Committee on Un American Activities, Annual Report for 1958, House Report l87, March 9, 34 1959, PP- 3 and 35-! - "2.'To defend the cases of Communist law-breakers, fronts have been devised making special appeals .v'. in behalf of civil liberties and reaching but far beyond the confines of the Communist Party itself.
