- A SPECIAL REPORT

The Testimony

The appearance of Albert Forrester, national
co-ordinator for the STOP NSA Committee, before
the Committee on Internal Security of the House
of Representatives on July 13, 1971 was a mile-

stone in the effort to expose the radical activities
and_ fraudulent status of the National Student
Association.

Called as a friendly witness, he was able to
link the National Student Association directly to

TESTIMONY, LEGAL BRIEF, NEWS the activities of other far
CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHT YEAR leftist organizations and to

negotiations with the Com-
OF STOP NSA ACTIVITIES 2 munists in North Vietnam.
It was those negotiations
4 which precipitated the vio-
lent Mayday demonstra-
tions in Washington, D.C.
\ during 1971.

The testimony covers
the resolutions passed
by the National Stu-

dent Association,

condemning the

United States for

aggression in Viet-

nam, advocating free doses

of heroin to addicts, calling for the

liberation of all black people, defending ac-

tivities of the Black Panthers and publicly indicting

President Nixon for NSA defined “crimes.”

Zeroing in on the educational, tax-exempt status

now held by the National Student Association,

Albert Forrester concluded his testimony before

the Committee on Internal Security of the U.S.

House of Representatives with the following re-
marks directed at members of the Committee:

“I simply submit to you gentlemen the fact
that the National Student Association is not
representative of students and should not
retain its tax-exempt status, and | would
cerainly hope that through the efforts of
each individual member of this Committee
that efforts be made to remove the tax-
exempt status of the National Student As-
sociation or to bring them back in line with
what is Federal Law.”

The Legal Brief

Realizing that NSA funds
would dry up without the
educational tax-exempt
status currently granted
to the National Student
Association by the Inter-
nal Revenue Service,
the STOP NSA Com-
mittee arranged for a
legal brief to be pre-
pared outlining viola-
tions of IRS statutes
by the National Stu-
dent Association.

After several
months of intensive
research the brief has been
completed and is being distributed to
members of Congress and to officials within the
Internal Revenue Service. The brief, running more
than 15 pages in length, explains how the Na-
tional Student Association is unqualified for such
a status because it has violated both the intent
and the letter of the law.

Initial reaction to the brief from Congressmen
and Senators has been encouraging and IRS
Officials conducting the investigation into the
National Student Association were pleased to
receive the information.

A major effort, the legal brief may prove the
most valuable tool yet if indeed the IRS right-
fully withdraws the educational tax status clas-
sification from the National Student Association.

The News Conference

In order to increase public awareness of the
manner in which the National Student Association
has not only been in the forefront of radical leftist
disruptions but has also financed these activities
with funds received from tax-exempt foundations,
Albert Forrester called a news conference in
Washington. D.C. on March 15, 1972

At the conference he made public the legal
brief and challenged the news media to give
publicity to the tax-exempt fraud being perpe-
trated by the officers of the National Student
Association. Furthermore he urged members of
Congress and especially officials of the Internal
Revenue Service to take immediate action to pro-
tect the interests of both the students and Amer-
ican taxpayers who have been ‘paying the bill’
for the radical activities of the National Student
Association.

He indicated that prompt action on this very
serious matter would save the taxpayers money,
it would add credibility to government and it
would make the National Student Association
“stand on its own” as an independent radical
