Senator Cooper. I have two or three other questions.
Did your organization, CUSA, ever consider violence as a means to reaching its objectives?
Mr. Weissman. This had been—I don't remember exactly. It had been hashed over in skull sessions, so many things come up, and you talk about it and throw it away. These things did come up over the year or so that I was involved in it in Munich, and thrown out. No. In schedules that we had made up, we figured probable political happenings over a period of years, and we took into account there might be a war for example in 1968 or 1970 or 1972, and what would happen before or after, or who would probably be President at that time, and the type of action America would take. But it had never gone any further than a lot of supposition.
Senator Cooper. Did you consider the advertisements in the paper there as possibly inciting to violence under the circumstances?
Mr. Weissman. Definitely not.
Senator Cooper. Was that considered at all?
Mr. Weissman. Definitely not. At least not by me. And nobody ever mentioned it.
Senator Cooper. This group of men that you have named, of which you were one, who formed this CUSA with objectives, both political and business you said?
Mr. Weissman. Yes, sir.
Senator Cooper. Was there any background of writings or theory of any kind upon which you depended? Where did it come from?
