1. 


the International Initiative for Vietnam Solidarity 
(IIVS) , a pro-North Vietnamese antiwar organization in 
West Germany, sponsored a series of "Indochina Hearings" 
throughout West Germany from 19-30 October 1971. At 
that time American soldiers and Vietnamese were to 
present their views on the Vietnam War. 

■h 

2. We have received no information that American 
soldiers took part in these activities but two Americans 
did participate in the "hearings" in Hamburg on 22 October. 
One was Mary KAUFMANN (sic) , a lawyer allegedly involved 
with the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial. The second American 
participant was Amadeo RICHARDSEN, a twenty- three year 
old Negro who is studying music in Munich, West Germany. 

A women’s delegation from North Vietnam also participated 
in the "hearing". The main subject, covered was advocacy 
of the establishment of a Provisional Revolutionary 
Government of South Vietnam Information Office in West 
Germany. 





3. RICHARDSEN works closely 
with Franic WfcKJUMJBiSTJtsK, a member of the IIVS Executive 
Committee, on underground G.I. newspapers and has often 
traveled to East Germany on behalf of the West German 
Communist Party. 

4. We have no additional information on RICHARDSEN. 
Comment: Mary KAUFMANN is probably identical w { ith Mary 
KAUFMAN, Bureau File 100-1744.'
