Thanks, I've been reading the file. It looks to me like the faction of the VVAW that wanted to put a hit on Hubbard and Birch also wanted to get rid of Kerry. Kerry, Hubbard, and Birch were all associated with the NY national VVAW office, while the rival faction was the mid-East regional VVAW (encompassing NJ, PA, MD and Washington DC)--see File 100-448092, Section 13, pp. 69-72 and 79 and Section 14, p. 222. Incidentally, 14 p. 222 also mentions Kerry was still a national VVAW leader as of 3/72.

Yes I know I sent you something on that as a private reply.

As mentioned in the email I sent. Kerry steeped down for his position on the executive committee to take the National Leadership role. He was not on the board, he was over the board.

The FBI notes say that after the November 1971 meeting that the VVAW was getting more radical and violence prone. I don't think the others were against Kerry, I think he divided them against the other two, this is in a couple of eva;s on speechs Kerry gave. In all I havev checked out thus far there is no mention of the others being dissatified with him, only the other two. Do you know AmericanInToyko?

So Kerry was a member of the anti-Jon Birch Society huh?
