Conference of NSC Discusses Its Work for Year 2000 2001

The full Editorial Board of NSC from Canada plus Board members from USA and Germany gathered all day Sunday, December 19th 1999 to chart the course for its publication and to make decisions about the forthcoming World Congress to elect an International Council for Friendship and Solidarity with Soviet People, which is going to be held in Minsk, Byelorussia in May of year 2001.

The Agenda was full and discussions were open, sometimes heated and many decisions were made that will affect the work of NSC plus the Organizing Committee for an International Council.

There was assignment of responsibilities for each member of NSC: a $20,000 quota was adopted for NSC for year 2000 so that it can continue to be published; many letters, e-mails and faxes were read from all of our overseas correspondents plus numerous decisions that from time the readers of NSC shall be able to get acquainted with in future issues.

Of importance was the decision to send a 2-3 member delegation in May of this year to Minsk in order to meet our Soviet counterparts and also arrange all the logistics for the May 2001 Congress where over 100 delegates are expected from the 4 corners of the world in order to elect an International Council.

The policy of NSC was again reaffirmed as correct and it was given the mandate to struggle for the resurrection of Socialism and against all revisionism and also expose what is happening in the former USSR as it has for the last 8 years. Taking part in the conference were the following:
