"And they tried to get a bunch more when the Capital Building was bombed in 1971 but everybody has forgotten about that."

I have to admit I've forgotten about that, if I ever knew. Could you give me some more details if you remember any?

It happened shortly after the 1971 march in DC, the bomb was place in a bathroom near the Senate chamber if I remember right. I had to send a guy down to testify about it before the Senate and it was supposed to be closed door. The press was there and it hit the front page. His family was getting death threats two days after that.

During the 1971 march I spent three nights looking for bombs over the Patomic and Annacosta Rivers because we had information that our little peace loving friends had 600 lbs of explosives in town and were planning to hit one of the bridges. We found a hoax bomb on Key Bridge.

This is the main reason the DC Police reacted so fast when the march got started to shut them down.
