This report that you referred to was given to the U.N. General

Soviets openly used the term "active measures" in a public document.
(See az. X X, pg. 312.)
In this report the Soviet Union talks about its role its publicizing
the fight against apartheid in southern Africa. it states, "active meas-
ures in this direction have been carried out by Soviet writ)l organize-
tioas, including the all-union Central Council of Trade Unions of
Soviet-Afro-Asian Countries Solidarity Committee" and a number of
other organisations. Each of them., escept for the last, which is the
Union of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, is n Soviet con-
atiLuesit organization of an international Soviet. front. In tIe. United
States, two members of the World Peace Council orgenized a confer-
ence in solidarity with the liberation struggle for the people of South
Africa in October of 11081 in New York City.
The organizers served as Chair of the Preparatory Committee Sec-
retariat and Conference Coordinator, respectively. According to their
own public documents, the conference organized support for the Soviet
position in South Africa, including support for the movements op-
erating against the government of South A /rice, the A frican National
Congress, and the Southwest African People's Organization. (See .
