RETURN TO CIABackground Use OnlyDo Not ReproduceMEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for PlansTHROUGH: Assistant Deputy Director for PlansSUBJECT: Indications of the Scope and Possible Damage of New Allegations by *Ramparts* Magazine1. This memorandum is furnished for information only.2. Early in April 1968 the Office of the General Counsel made available to Central Cover Staff (CCS) a copy of a letter and an attached list of organizations sent to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by Mr. Jon Frappier of *Ramparts Magazine*. The letter, dated 5 April 1968, had been furnished CGC through IRS liaison channels. The letter appended a list of 145 tax-exempt organizations and indicated that all were suspected of having been funded by or having cooperated with CIA.3. The letter indicated that the listed organizations were only a part of the organizations being scrutinized by *Ramparts* and that other available sources of information on these and other suspect organizations had already been examined. The other sources of information were stated as including the literature of the organizations and interviews with their staff members; records available in the Attorney General's offices in Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York; data available at the National Information Bureau in New York, Group Research, Inc., in Washington, D.C., and the Foundation Library Centers in New York and Washington; and the 990-A returns available at the district offices of the IRS. The letter requested 990-A
[104-10059-10026.pdf — page 2]
-2-returns for specified years and in most cases the Form 1023Application for Tax Exempt Status. *Ramparts* asked the IRSto make these materials available for inspection at a mutu-ally convenient time.4. A review of available CIA data on the listed organi-   zations has shown that 89 of them were at one time or another   somehow associated with CIA. Only two of theseare of current operational interest. These two activitiesand 45 organizations formerly of interest to CIA were men-tioned in the American press during [MHDOWEL]. Of Forty-twoother listed organizations which were in fact associated✓ with CIA were not exposed during (MHDOWELL. We have found noevidence that 55 organizations on the list were ever directlyor indirectly associated with CIA. (Because two of the nameson the list are successive names for the same organization,the actual total number of organizations listed is 144 ratherthan 145.) Three additional project organizations, notincluded in the *Ramparts* list, may be vulnerable becausethey were covertly funded by hitherto unexposed foundationfunding instruments included in the list. Only one of these,is of cur-rent operational interest.5. The CA Staff was furnished a copy of the *Ramparts*   letter and list and has checked out the organizations of   possible previous CA Staff interest. All organizations not   readily identifiable with known project organizations or as   CCS funding instruments have been traced with RID, with CS   area divisions that might logically have had an interest in   them and against CCS Registry files. Through arrangements   with the IRS, representatives of CCS and CGC also examined   available IRS data (990-A's and Forms 1023) on the listed   organizations. This was done before the IRS documents were   made available to *Ramparts*, in order to be sure that restricte   990-A, Part I data would not be furnished to *Ramparts* and to   try to establish the reasons for *Ramparts'* interest in the   organizations. Our current findings are the results of these   various file reviews.6. Attached hereto are annexes listing and discussing   the several categories of organizations on the *Ramparts* list.   Annex A deals with the two organizations on the list which   are still of active operational interest. Both received
[104-10059-10026.pdf — page 3]
-3-press mention during [NHDOWEL]. Annex B lists and discusses under several sub-categories the 42 organizations with which the Agency has had some direct or indirect operational ties in the past which were not cited in the press during - 이 DOWEL. Annex C lists the 45 organizations included in the April 1968 list which had former Agency operational ties which were subject to press allegations during MHDOWEL.0/ Annex D lists and briefly discusses the 55 organizations included in the Ramparts list that had no known operational connection with CIA. Annex E lists and discusses three hitherto unexposed operational activities that are not included in the April 1968 Ramparts list but which are vulnerable because they were covertly funded by hitherto unexposed funding instruments included in the Ramparts list. Annex F shows a copy of the full April 1968 Ramparts list.7. The 42 former project organizations listed and described at Annex B which have not previously been charged with CIA association in American press comment fall into five general categories:a. Foundations and other organizations used as witting funding conduits for covert subsidies to project organizations and other operational activities. Sixteen organizations fall into this category. Eleven of them are multipurpose legitimate foundations. which were recuited by CCS. Four were created or recruited for exclusive use in funding one project each and one was used for a one-time travel grant.b. Witting legitimate foundations and organizations used exclusively to provide funding and status cover for singleton agents. Six organizations were used in this way and provided cover for seven agents in various parts of the world. Some of these organizations also provided one-time support for unwitting individuals of operational interest.c. Proprietary or subsidy project organizations. There are six of these: Projects CAMANTILLA WUHUSTLER FOCLPROOF, ETNAMABLE, SGPANFISH, and AESTRIKER.d. Three organizations with which there were witting operational contacts to obtain information and leads but which were not actively involved operationally.
[104-10059-10026.pdf — page 4]
-4-e. Eleven unwitting organizations which received grants from project organizations for operational or cover reasons or which cooperated with project organizations.8. We cannot say with complete assurance that all 55 of the apparently innocent organizations on the *Ramparts* list in fact never had any Agency ties. Our researches have shown that RID indices are often incomplete. We have found operational use data in CCS files on organizations with no record in RID. The same is true in other cases where information was available in CA Staff or area division files on organizations which drew a blank in RID. It seems likely, however, that any undetected operational interest in the organizations was in the period of the early 1950's and of a marginal nature.9. In reviewing available information on the listed organizations we attempted to determine whether there was a logical external basis for *Ramparts'* interest in the organizations or whether some form of internal Agency leak might be involved. Our reviews and analysis show fairly conclusively that *Ramparts* has been proceeding on the basis of overtly available information, supplemented by interviews with project personnel:a. All but three of the 42 terminated but hitherto unexposed project organizations and 24 of the 55 organizations which actually had no Agency ties are somehow related to project organizations or funding instruments previously exposed. Some of the organizations made legitimate or covert grants to previously exposed organizations, others received covert or legitimate grants from previously exposed funding instruments or from innocent foundations that had made legitimate grants to exposed organizations, and still others had officers who were associated with exposed CIA organizations.b. Thirty-one innocent organizations on the *Ramparts* list and three of the hitherto unexposed organizations of former interest to the Agency have no such known ties to exposed Agency organizations. In most of these cases, however, the names of the organizations are similar to those of exposed organizations or are of a nature that makes them suspect.
[104-10059-10026.pdf — page 5]
SENSITIVESECRET-5-10. It seems likely that *Ramparts'* interest in a number of the 42 unexposed project organizations is based on factors unrelated to the actual CIA dealings with them.11. The Headquarters elements that are or were responsible for the projects and activities that could be implicated by new *Ramparts* allegations have been notified of the foregoing findings.
