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.
