A Note on these documents

These documents from the U.S. Trotskyist group, the Socialist Workers Party, were donated to the Holt Labor Library by Gus Horowitz, who has been active in the YSA from 1960-67 and the SWP from 1960-80. The Holt Labor Library in collaboration with Marty Goodman from the Riazanov Library Project has digitized these documents for the historical record through 1974 and made them available here, on the Marxists Internet Archive. John Beadle continued the project through the year 1979. The records are only presented in a general chronological order by year or set of years. But for each year they are presented within each set by file number, not in any chronological order. So you will notice that often the listing of the files runs from latest to the earliest and not the other way around. This is how the records were organized and we are keeping to that organization. The Political Committee was the leadership of the SWP elected by the National Committee to run the Party between National Committee Plenums, which were held 2 or 3 times a year. The National Committee was itself elected at the SWP's National Convention and was the highest decision making body of the Party.
