...basic eagerness to avoid confrontation had changed. Still, the assault provoked genuine anger among Solidarity supporters. It also made it more difficult for Solidarity to support the proposal for a "front of national agreement" that had been put forward a month ago by the Premier and party chief, General Wojciech Jaruzelski. The plan, which had been endorsed in part by Walesa and the Roman Catholic Primate, Archbishop Jozef Glemp, would have established a permanent legal forum for negotiations between Poland's contending forces...

The task: to react to Walesa's announcement that he would join in an unprecedented tripartite summit meeting with Poland's Premier, General Wojciech Jaruzelski, and Roman Catholic Primate, Archbishop Jozef Glemp. The meeting would consider the country's explosive political and economic plight...
