To Members of the S. W. P. National Committee:
Dear Comrades,
In its Plenary Session of June 20-21, the I. S. noted with complete satisfaction the spirit and the letter of the resolution of agreement unanimously voted at your Plenum at the end of May. It sees in it the expression of the political maturity of the leadership as a whole, which has resolutely dispelled any idea of split, and sees in it a genuine possibility, proceeding from the new atmosphere established by the Plenum, of arriving at a complete normalizing of the functioning of the organization.
The I. S. hopes that the organization as a whole will enter enthusiastically into its daily work in order to victoriously cope with the present difficult conjuncture in the U. S.
The I. S. does not doubt that all the leading comrades, and all the members of the organization are fully aware of the excellent revolutionary perspectives opening before the world movement, with the accentuated combined crisis of capitalism and Stalinism, on condition that we are firmer, clearer, more active and united than ever. The I. S. warmly salutes all the leading members of the S.W.P., all its cadres, and all its members. The entire courageous, Bolshevik team created by long and patient efforts, and which so valiantly carries the banner of Trotskyism in the U. S.
It sends its warmest greetings to Comrade Cannon, whose responsible conduct during the recent Plenum it has especially appreciated, and who will always embody for us the founder and the principal animator of the Marxist-Leninist-Trotskyist "regime" of the S. W. P.
With our most fraternal greetings,
I. S.
