There is an extensive but by no means complete Hansen Archive at
<http://www.marxists.org/archive/hansen/index.htm> - but it includes
only 2 documents after 1968 - probably because the SWP put copyright
notices on their publications after March 1969 so they aren't in the
public domain and the SWP have threatened us for breach of copyright for
other documents using an expensive hotshot New York law firm - even if
we're in the right we can't take the risk of legal action which would
break our back financially. However, I think we could risk putting such
an important document on-line if somebody can provide it in digital
form. (Of course we'd have to discuss this first among the volunteers if
it was published with a copyright notice.)
