Common
Cause was the outgrowth from the Urban Coalition
Action Council. This organization suggested that
they wanted to end the Vietnam War on a scheduled
timetable. They also wanted to aid the ending
of poverty and race discrimination. They were
looking for new solutions in housing, employment,
education, health, consumer protection, environment,
family planning, law enforcement, and the administration
of justice. The FBI did not investigate this group.
When the mailing explaining their agenda was sent
out to numerous individuals, they in turn, reported
them to the FBI. These individuals were advised
that the FBI is an investigative agency of the
Federal Government, and as such, neither makes
evaluations nor draws conclusions as to the character
or integrity of any organization, publication,
or individual.
