...take strong exception to the CIA'S undermining a government that had been freely elected by the Chilean people. This is contrary to our principle of respecting self-determination.

Mr. Harper does not accept the notion forwarded by a member of the YSA national executive board (council or whatever) that the "NAACP has finally decided to do something concrete and call for this (May 17) action." Must one march over the concrete to do something "concrete"? Additionally, two national organizations, one a Marxist-Leninist group...
