Indochina Peace Campaign
From KeyWiki
INDOCHINA PEACE CAMPAIGN
The Indochina Peace Campaign was a creation of Hanoi supporter Tom Hayden and other hardcore communist/marxist supporters of North Vietnam. It was the successor to Hayden's Indochina Information Project], which was funded, in large party, by the far-left "Youth Project". The IPC became the core and brains of the Hanoi Lobby and its efforts to cut off U.S. aid to South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, who were under attack from North Vietnam.
In 1974, the IPC was given an office in a congressional office building by Rep. Ronald Dellums D-CA, an avowed "socialist" but who was, in reality, a hardcore marxist, one of the top three in Congress at that time.
