This lot will have been closed off from morning parking. As you have probably read in local area newspapers, the Jewish communities of the Peninsula are planning a peaceful protest at SLAC to coincide with the arrival of President Pompidou. The number of people who will be involved in this is not known but is estimated to be in excess of 200. They will be permitted to assemble in the Auditorium parking lot together with other spectators but will not be allowed beyond the road blocks or the rope barrier. Leaders of the groups have met with local police authorities and have assured them that the demonstration will be completely peaceful and that no sound equipment will be used.
