by Pompidou on Chicago Visit Unfounded

by French President Georges Pom-
pidou and his staff regarding their
visit to Chicago last Feb. 28 — that
demonstrators were unruly and ill-
mannered and that the police were
in complicity with them — are un-
supported by the facts, according
to a report released by the Amer-
ican Jewish Committee.

former FBI agent and director of
AJC's trends analyses division, was
based on information obtained from
19 eye-witnesses to the event, plus
examination of television films and
news pictures. Among the eye-wit-
nesses were high Chicago Police
Department officials who accom-
panied the Pompidous when they
entered and left the Palmer House,
where the demonstration occurred,
and a security officer who also ac-
companied them in and out.
Other witnesses were city of-
ficials assigned to the demonstra-
tion, TV and radio reporters on
the scene and several youths who
allegedly accosted the Pompidous
as they left the hotel.

sions was that the unwitting of-

He also declared that no evidence
could be found to suggest that the
Chicago Police Department con -
spired with the demonstration
planners to embarrass or harass
the Pompidou party. Commenting

"It was a heterogeneous demon-
stration, predominantly Jewish, al-
though nuns in habit were observed
marching with the demonstrators.
It is a matter of record that not
‘7.5 one single demonstrator was ar-
rested and no violence erupted
despite the fact that one demon-
strator was injured when struck
by ice cubes dropped from a hotel
window, and the release of a stench
bomb by a counter-demonstrator."
