Three days of organizational meetings were held at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. attended by approximately 275 to 300 people from thirty-three states, [[Great Britain]], and the Soviet Union. Two KGB Officers were in attendance, [[Oleg Bogdonav]] an Internal Department specialist in Active Measures, and [[Yuri S, Kapralov]], a KGB Officer assigned to the [[United States]] since 1978 and dedicated to penetrating "peace movements."
