A bid to host the 1971 Worldcon in Washington, DC. It was run by Jay Haldeman and Bob Pavlat. Joe Haldeman, then serving in Vietnam, was their most distant supporter and had a photograph taken of him holding a "DC in '71" sign.

In voting at St. Louiscon, it lost to Boston in 71. There was also a Baltimore in '71 bid which was not on the ballot. See 1971 Worldcon Site Selection.
