This the first bulletin by the Research and Development Committee of the ALSC Executive Committee is a supplement and update to the Handbook on "Defeat Portuguese Imperialism." On November 2, 1973, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution condemning the illegal occupation by Portuguese military forces of certain sectors of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau and the acts of aggression committed by them against the people of the Republic. Portugal and the U.S. made secret deals to use the Azores Islands for logistics - fueling center for planes as the U.S. supplied up to 800 tons of war material every day to Israel during the recent crisis. The bulletin outlines Guidelines on Local Research and Data Collection for ALSC chapters, which include learning about corporations and economic activity in the area as well as the history of struggles of Black people and whether Africa has been raised. The bulletin also mentions the African Studies Association (ASA), David Newsom, NATO countries, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference), Congressman Andrew Young, the Gulf Oil Company and the "Boycott Gulf" campaign.
