		Nicosia uncovered this plot, called the Phoenix Project by its creator, Scott Camil, and established that the VVAW moved its meeting venue twice in order to avoid FBI surveillance while they decided whether to proceed with the assassinations of several pro-war American politicians, including Senators John Stennis, John Tower, and Strom Thurmond.

		But Scott made it clear to me how far he himself had come-now the father of three young teen or near-teen daughters, working tirelessly for the passage of environmental-protection laws in his area of the state.
		Scott was not proud of having proposed a domestic Phoenix program to murder diehard pro-war senators and congressmen, but he was not ashamed of it either.
		Scott said he believed that meant they planned to kill him; and indeed, not long after he left VVAW, acquitted in the long and expensive Gainesville Conspiracy trial, he was shot at point-blank range with a.45 caliber handgun by an undercover government agent, who was never brought to justice for that homicidal action.

		CAMIL said that even talking and planning such activities was against the law and therefore the “Phoenix type” groups should carry out their assignments.
		CAMIL’s proposal for the “readiness squads” and the training was favorably received by many of the persons present and was thereafter quietly disseminated to those at the party.
		The Agenda Committee would not allow CAMIL to discuss his proposal at the general meeting, because of the time element and other matters to be discussed but placed CAMIL’s proposal on the agenda for a vote at the spring meeting in February, 1972.

		Camil, by comparison, was more outspoken and accomplished little more than rubbing a powerful potential ally the wrong way.
