The Vietnam Moratorium Committee, which conducted the October war moratorium, and the new Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (New Mobe) are organizing similar demonstrations for Nov. 13-14-15.
Ichord said evidence uncovered by his investigators showed that the moratorium committee plans "meshed precisely with the plans and leadership of the New Mobe.
