The Agenda

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ December 1, 1992

Last updated on

For the first time, an issue of Smith's Report will go to some 500 newspaper and periodical editors around the country, about half of them to college newspapers. From this mailing on I will stay in regular contact with the print press with SR and other materials. This mailing will cost about $400. If you believe it's worthwhile to keep 500 newspaper and periodical editors informed of what we're doing, in the way I do it, please contribute to cover these costs.

The Hemingway Western Studies Center exhibition at BSU has reminded that I want to stay in touch with the Alternative publishing scene. It represents a young, largely outside-the-university population that's interested in much of what I am. I'll send this Report to most of the 80 publishers who appeared with me in the catalog.

The most important part of the agenda is to develop the promo campaign for the Auschwitz video, using Cole's interview with Dr. Piper as its center piece. There are many different ways to use the video, in addition to selling it. Some of them may well prove surprising.

Your financial help. and your ideas. are very much appreciated.

    Bradley R. Smith was born in Los Angeles on February 18, 1930. At 18 he joined the army and in 1951 served with the infantry in Korea where he was twice wounded. After three decades of a variety of professional activities, it suddenly hit him: In 1979 he read a leaflet by Professor Robert Faurisson, "The Problem of the Gas Chambers." Then, Arthur Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century did it for him. He understood from the beginning that he would address the censorship, the suppression of independent thought, the taboo against publishing and debating revisionist arguments—not the arguments themselves. That has remained his position. In 1989, Smith founded Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) dedicated to defending free speech and free inquiry into the Holocaust question. He handed over CODOH's helm in late 2014. He passed away on his 86th birthday, February 18, 2016. Read a series of obituaries here.
