The draft agenda for the Vietnam Solidarity Conference is now available, It is open to amendment by all delegates and will be finalised at the beginning of the conference. It is proposed that the organisational aspects of the conference be dealt with in the first session, after which Bertrand Russell will speak on his reasons for supporting the conference. It is hoped to have personal messages of greetings from Vietnamese speakers following this. On the Saturday afternoon, the conference will hear two reports: one on the draft statement of aims and the other on the proposed structure. Commissions will be appointed to deal with amendemnts, etc. On Sunday morning it is proposed that the session be opened by Ralph Schoenman who will speak on his recent visit to Vietnam. This will form a fitting prelude to the discussion of projects such as the War Crimes Tribunal, a photographic exhibition at the Labour Party and T.U.C. conferences, etc., Sunday afternoon will see an American reporting on the movement in that country, this will be followed by a preliminary discussion on the question of an international solidarity conference.
