An Ad Hoc Committee
has been ' formed by a
group of nationally pro
minent black and white
citizens to serve as a core
of a larger out pouring of
expression to draft and
run Muhammad Ali for
the U.S. Senate.
The Committee is co
chaired by Lloyd Von
Blaine and Huntington
Hartford. Von Blaine,
spokesman for the group,
listed three bases for its
decision.
Blacks have no
representation in the up
per house since the un
timely defeat of Ed
Brooke.
Through the normal
political process, it will be
decades before another
black is likely to be
elected. We should, if we
subscribe to the percen
tage quota, have ten
members in the Senate and
53 in the House.
A strategy must be
revised whereby we can
penetrate the walls of self
Senate isolation from the
black Americans and the
only way this seems possi
ble is to bring forth a per
son who has developed a
national and international
constituency of all ethnic
groups and introduce him
into the political arena.
That person agreed to by
the committee is Muham
mad Ali. Further, accor
ding to Von Blaine, he is
qualified, young, alert, in
dependently wealthy, can
not be intimidated, has
good religious values,
likes helping people, is not
swayed by power, money
or fame. In addition, he is
from outside the establish
ment, free from obliga
tions, can attract a great
segment of ethnic support,
white males and females,
youth, Hispanics : and
most of the blacks. He can
be a forum for many of
the problems affecting the
majority especially the
poor. If we want to eat the
almond, we have to break ,
the shell, he continued.
Blacks , elected
Carter why not Ali.
There are many other
good reasons for such a
move that will surface
during the campaign. The
committee is asking for
volunteers in each state in
the union and donations
of SI from all interested
persons to help finance a
low budget campaign call
ed the "People for Ali"
and Muhammad Ali for
Senate Clubs to be formed
in each state to generate
wide public support for
the project.
The committee has
selected the following
states as its objective with
one to be targeted for a
major campaign effort
which will not be revealed
until at least sixty days
before an incursion. The
final decision will be made
by Muhammad Ali. The
success of this effort
depends upon the national
fervor and support it
receives.
All inquiries and infor
mation will be handled
through its temporary of
fices located at 527
Madison Avenue, Suite
1222, New York, NY,
10022, Telephone
(212)751-7510.

Dragista Kashikovich and
a ten year old girl believed

While the FBI and the
CIA have had knowledge
of the operations, the
report alleges that the
foreign spies operated
with relatively free hands
here without threat of
reprisal by U.S. law agen
cies. While there have been
some Filipinos who have
disappeared, said
McGloin, "for the last ten
years in this country, it
seems that the Phillipine
agents have been basically
concerned with propagan
da campaigns, countering
information on violations
of human rights." There

have been experienced by
some foreign critics.
But McGloin does men
tion a mysterious disap
pearance of Primitivo
Nihares two years ago
after he had testified
before a Senate committee
on human rights viola
'tions done by the Marcos "
regime. Shortly after the
testimony, Nihares' son
was dead. The defected
press secretary of Presi
dent Marcos has since
disappeared.
Phillipine intelligence
officers have been trained
by the U.S. Army In
telligence at Fort Bragg
for some time. Last year,
the Filipino People staged
a demonstration at the
military complex pro
testing the U.S. training
role.
Many of the foreign in
telligence agents in this
country operate under
diplomatic cover, the
report indicates. SAVAK,
the former Iranian' in
telligence agency, had as
its head Mansour
Rafizadeh who, until the
Iranian revolution,
operated under the cover
of an attache at the Ira;
nian mission to the United
Nations with knowledge
of the CIA and FBI.
