tekling you all we are dissolving as a project to protect our little
defensive asses* But no« That would be a non-struggle attitude« So
we will be so bold as to identify ourselves as the originators of this
potentially controversial piece—land oonfess some plagiarism xhere end -.>;':■:]
there from the WAW/WSO 01 Movement Organizing proposal, 1972 PCS
conference points of unity, and Fall '74 Orientation politioal
statement, and a words spoken at the Jan« 1975 Hoop-dee-do* We further
resolve to aooept all criticism in the spirit of M Mao Tae Tungian     ; "j

are fundamentally, only misunderstandings of our simple words)•
In regards to our analysis of the 01, the overall theme of this statment»
