REUNIFICATION EFFORTS OF THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL
 
* Both FIT and Solidarity (USA) organizations just recently 
merged into one organization, under the banner of Solidarity, and 
the publication (BIDOM) which was formerly the official journal 
of FIT became an independent socialist publication. 
 
* Delegates to the eighth national conference of the Fourth 
Internationalist Tendency (FIT), meeting in Pittsburgh, Pa, on 
September 19th voted to approve the following motions: (1) "This 
conference approves the unity of the Fourth Internationalist 
Tendency and Solidarity," and (2) "At the conclusion of its 
agenda, this conference formally terminates the independent 
organizational existence of the Fourth Internationalist Tendency 
as it is presently constituted." 
 
* The division within the ranks of the U.S. Fourth 
Internationalist was a result of a series of expulsions from the 
Socialist Workers Party in the early 80s, of which Socialist 
Action was also apart, however discussions to unify SA with 
Solidarity failed. There are other groups ( The Milwaukee 
Revolutionary Socialist Group, the Trotskyist League and 
individuals) within the Fourth International that have also 
expressed a desire to cooperate in building a movement through 
common political work, but have not joined in this partial 
reunification. An attempt is being made by Solidarity and BIDOM 
for an eventual unification of all supporters of the Fourth 
International.]
