At 9:55 a.m. on July 3, 1975, former Assistant Director
Ivan Conrad telephonically advised me that he has been contacted and
requested to appear for interview by the Senate Select Committee during
the week of July 7, 1975, concerning Martin Luther King. Mr. Conrad
expressed great concern about his appearance for such an interview and
requested guidance.
I told him that the Director was cooperating with the Committee
in their inquiry, but that in regard to matters that would identify informants,
affect current operations, or compromise very sensitive techniques any
testimony may require limitation to members of the Committee or to the
Chairman rather than stäff interviewers.
Mr. Conrad then asked whether he should respond in the
event questions were raised concerning sensitive matters regarding the
U.S. mails. I told him that in the event questions were asked which
appeared to be beyond the scope of the subject matter indicated for the
interview, or which in his judgment would involve the three areas of
concern expressed above, it would be appropriate for him to request a
recess for the purpose of consulting with the Bureau.
Mr. Conrad inquired as to his possible criminal liability and
whether the FBI would furnish him counsel. I explained to him the difficulties
imposed by conflicts of interest in that regard and that the FBI could not
furnish him personal counsel. I told him that if he felt the need for advice
as to his personal status, he should consider obtaining the services of a
personal counsel. He said that he would consider that and that although he
was specifically not making a request at this time, he would consider in the
future requesting that the Bureau pay for his private counsel

Mr. Conrad was cordial and said he understood fully that
I was not in a position to furnish him legal advice. I suggested that he

concerning secrecy and he agreed.

Director Sec'y
On 7/22/75, Mr. Ulman called Assistant Director
Legal Counsel J.A. Mintz to request assistance concerning
an assignment he had been given by the Attorney General (AG)
relating to the current investigation being conducted by the
Senate Select Committee (SSC). In accordance with Mr. Mintz'
referral to our Senstudy project group, Mr. Ulman was contacted
7/22/75 by Supervisor J. P. Thomas. Mr. Ulman said that the
AG had requested his office to prepare, by 7/25/75, the fullest
possible response to the question, "To what extent has the AG
been involved in consideration or approval of policies and
activities of U.S. foreign and military intelligence agencies?"
Mr. Ulman said that he had requested the Criminal Division
of the Department to conduct research on this matter but, being
unfamiliar with foreign intelligence matters, desired to know
whether we could in any way assist him. He was informed that
the FBI is basically not a U.S. foreign intelligence agency.
He responded that some of our operations involve foreign
intelligence and again asked if we could assist. He was told
that we certainly could not furnish any full answer, but would
attempt to see if we could contribute something to his assign-
ment.
It was also suggested to Mr. Ilman that he consider
contacting Mr. K. William O'Connor, who is
Is 
coordinating many
aspects of the SSC investigation for the Department, and might
be able to clarify the request or contribute to the response,
and that he consider contacting CIA. He indicated he did not
feel that contact with CIA would be productive. It was ag8 1975
that the inquiry appears to relate to the AG institutionally
rather than to any involvement of the incumbent, Mr. Levi

Re: Senstudy 75

USIB
Inquiry of Intelligence Division personnel, who
might have pertinent information, developed the following
information which might be offered to Mr. Ulman: (1) The
only specific instance in which we are aware that the AG is
involved in consideration or approval of activities of the
FBI regarding foreign intelligence is that when we desire to
effect electronic coverage, for ourselves or on request of
another agency, for the purpose of obtaining positive foreign
intelligence information or foreign counterintelligence
purposes, we seek the approval of the AG. Other agencies
might do likewise. (2) The National Security Act of 1947,
approved by the President 7/26/47, created the National Security
Council (NSC). NSC Intelligence Directive (NSCID) No. 1 was
revised on 7/7/49 and added the FBI as a member of the
Intelligence Advisory Committee (IAC). By a subsequent revision
of NSCID No. 1 on 9/15/58, IAC became the United States
Intelligence Board (USIB), with the FBI still a member.
concerns itself with foreign intelligence matters. However,
inasmuch as the FBI itself is a member of USIB, and historically
the FBI has not coordinated USIB matters with the AG* the
Bureau's role in USTB is not considered pertinent to the
inquiry regarding the involvement of the AG in foreign intelligence
matters. (3) Our records indicate that prior to the establishment
of the NSC, former FBI Director Hoover recommended that the
AG be a member of the committee which later became the NSC.
Apparently the National Security Act of 1947 did provide for
the AG to attend NSC meetings as a member if the President sọ
desired. Our records indicate the AG did attend some NSC
meetings as a member during the 1947-48 period. However, by
memorandum 8/19/49, AAG Peyton Ford informed Mr. Hoover that
the AG could no longer attend NSC meetings as a member because
of the amendment to the National Security Act made by Section 3
of Public Law 216, 81st Congress, approved 8/10/49. (4) On
11/5/71, the White House announced the establishment of the

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. Wannall
Re: Senstudy 75

i
"
National Security Council Intelligence Committee (NSCIC)
with the AG as a member. The President's 11/5/71 memorandum
stated the NSCIC "will give direction and guidance on national
substantive intelligence needs and provide for a continuing
evaluation of intelligence products from the viewpoint of the
intelligence consumer. Assistant AG Robert Mardian attended
a meeting of NSCIC on 12/14/71 as the AG's representative.
We cannot document it, but the recollection of FBI personnel
involved in NSÇIC affairs is that Mr. Mardian reported thereafter
to the AG that NSCIC activities did not concern the Department
and that neither the AG nor Mardian were subsequently involved
in NSCIC affairs. On 4/24/74, the AG was still listed as a
member of NSCIC. However, in August, 1974, FBI inquiry of a
member of the U. S. intelligence committee staff elicited the
opinion that the AG was no longer considered to be a member
of NSCIC because the AG's office had not been participating in
NSCIC affairs or attending its meetings; further, the AG was
not among the addressees of papers being sent out in preparation
for the next NSCIC meeting. However, it appears that the AG
may still be nominally listed as a member of NSCIC. (5) It
might also be useful for Mr. Ulman to consult Mr. Kevin Maroney
of the Internal Security Section of the Department inasmuch as
Mr. Maroney has long been involved in matters relating to
internal security and foreign intelligence, and may be aware
of the extent of the AG's involvement.
ACTION:
With your approval, Office of Legal Counsel will
convey the information in the preceding paragraph to Mr. Ulman,
who said he can be contacted by telephone on 187-2051. He
requested an expeditious response.

NOTE:
Unexcised copy of FBI report entitled "Foreign
Support For Revolutionary Protest Movements in the United States,
dated 6/30/69 is onclosed. For telephone conversation of
SA William 0. Cregar with Special Counsel K. William O'Connor
on 6/11/75, it was agreed copy of letter dated 6/20/69, from
Ton Charles Huston, Staff Assistant to the President to the
Director should be included in our response to SSC's request
and that Special Counsel O'Connor would obtain appropriate
clearance from White House to give access to SSC staff. A
review of the filo indicates there is no documented copy as to
the sourcing of paragraphs in the 38 page report entitled
"Foreign Support For Revolutionary Protest Movement in the
United States" dated 0/30/69, classified "Top Secret." Το
locate the source of each statement in the report would
necessitate an extensive search and review of Bureau files.
On 0/18/75, Walt Elder, CIA; Benson Buffham, NSA;
and Kenneth R. Bailey, DIA, voro contacted by SA W. O. Cregar
and advised of the SSC request for material responsive to
request of Tom Charles Huston, White House, dated 6/20/60,
which was also forwarded to those agencies, and that the above
report would be made available for SSC personnel to review at
FBINQ. This report was disseminated to Tom Huston, White House,
and when prepared consideration was given to concealment and
protection of original source. The report was reviewed by
Sonstudy 75 representatives and appropriate delctions were
made relating to privacy considerations and/or protection of
sensitive sources or methods, or any adverse effect on ongoing
operations. An excised copy of report is being forwarded to
the Attorney General. The review indicates that some material
undoubtedly came from third agencies and/or foreign sources
but is set forth in a manner not to pinpoint any specific
agency or foreign source. It is recommended the report bo
made available for review of SSC representative at FBIHQ in
its present excised form.

INTRODUCTION
Although the term "revolutionary protest
*movement" cannot be precisely defined because of the
amorphous nature of such movements, it can be said
that revolutionary protest movements sexisting within the
United States fall into two broad categories, i.e. the.
New Left movement and the black extremist movement.
•
The New Left movement, which grew out of the
(civil rights struggle of the 1950s, is a loose-knit,.
undisciplined group of individuals who view our system of
government as irredeemably corrupt and oppressive. Their
stated aims and objectives are simple; they are dedicated
to the total destruction of our traditional values and
democratic system of government.
The New Left movement in this country is clearly.
an integral part of a world-wide revolutionary movement of
- students and young intellectuals. There is a definite . .
similarity of goals, a uniformity of action from country to
country, and a rapport among leftist organizations and
individuals in this and foreign countries.
was
Like the New Left movement, the black extremist
movement in the United States can be traced to the civil rights
movement of the early 1960s and the violent response to civil
rights agitation. This is best seen in the history of the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), formed in
1960 in Atlanta, Georgia. SNCC was one of the moving forces
behind the Freedom Riders of the early 1960s and was the target
of Ku Klux Klan violence. In May,
elected chairman of SNCC. The lack of progress toward integratio
since the 1954 school desegregation decision helped
to change. SNCC from a nonviolent group to a full-blown. black
revolutionary organization. Other black nationalists took up
cry for a "bloody revolution" and a proliferation
of black extremist groups seized the initiative for change from
established civil rights organizations and now advocate outright
revolution and destruction of our form of government.

Foreign communist support of revolutionary
protest movements in the United States can be manifested
in a number of ways. Since the Communist Party, USA; is
under the domination and control of the Soviet Union, it
can be used more and more as a vehicle to support these
movements. Similarly, the Progressive Labor Party and other
pro-Chinese Communist groups can be utilized by Communist
China as a channel for rendering support to protest movements
in the United States. Other traditional channels which can
be used more are the communist-bloc diplomatic establishments
and the clandestine intelligence services operated by the
communists within the United States.
པ་
In addition to the channels of communication open
to foreign communists within the confines of the United States,
leaders of United States-based protest wovements have in
recent years begun to reach out beyond the continental limits
of the United States to solicit support of foreign communists and
revolutionary protest movements abroad. Nov Loftists and black
extremists travel abroad extensively and participate freely in
various international conferences which are invariably attended
by and sometimes even sponsored by communists. New Left and
black extremist leaders frequently confer with representatives
of foreign communist governments. At the same time,
revolutionaries frequently travel to the United States and
confer with leaders of protest movements in this country.
.
All of these "channels of communication" are
treated in this study which is designed to show the extent
to which revolutionary protest movements in the United States
are receiving foreign communist support.

FOREIGN COMMUNIST SUPPORT OF REVOLUTIONARY PROTEST
MOVEMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES
A: Influence of Domestic Communist Left
Communist Party, USA
Since it was founded in September, 1919, the
Communist Party, USA (CPUSA) has been unswerving in its
allegiance to the Soviet Union. Over the years the Soviets
have utilized the CPUSA as a trusted: velicle to influence
revolutionary activity within the United States. Accordingly,
FBI investigations of CPUSA activities have included the
objective of determining the extent to which the Soviets may
have been using the CPUSA as a possible channel for Soviet e
support of the current revolutionary protest movements in this
country. All available information derived from these
investigations to date indicates that while the CPUSA has made
overtures to the revolutionary protest groups there has been
limited acceptance of the CPUSA by such groups.
In recognition of its lack of support among..
youthful activists on college campuses, the CPUSA is currently
making plans to establish a new youth group directed toward
-youth in industry. Party leaders, on the other hand, have
criticized New Left groups such as the Students for a Democratic
Society as petty bourgeois radicals. Party youth who have
attempted to have the CPUSA relate more clearly with such
groups have been isolated and silenced. The CPUSA theoretical
: organ, "Political Affairs," in its March and April, 1969, issues
contained a two-part article entitled "The Student Rebellion,"
which clearly set out CPUSA opposition to the anti-Soviet, anti-
CPUSA line of student protest groups.
Within the past year leaders of the CPUSA in the
Midwest met with leaders of the Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS) to discuss closer cooperation or possible
recruitment of these individuals into the CPUSA. These over
tures were completely rebuffed by the SDS people who stated
that while there were no disagreements with CPUSA philosophy.

it is most doubtful the CPUSA is relevant today. When it was
proposed that there be some form of collectivity between the
SDS and the CPUSA, the SDS leaders replied that the CPUSA is
not involved in SDS collectives because the CPUSA has nothing
to contribute.
Subsequently, a leader of the SDS in conversation.
with leaders of the CP of Illinois stated that the "Establish-
ment" as it exists today must be changed, even if this change
must be through force. He added that the "Establishment"...
must, be replaced by a communist government. He further stated
that there has to be a communist party and there has to bea

ize the youth, thus rejecting the CPUSA as a possible, vehicle
for bringing about this revolution.

now recognize their lack of status in the revolutionary student
movement in the United States and the need to become influential
in the current ideological struggle in order to orient: it to
Soviet style communism.
-
With regard to the activists in black extremist
groups, the CPUSA is under a severe strain in attempting to
develop a program to attract these individuals while at the
same time adhering to its pro-Soviet and Marxist-Leninistide-
ology. The fight within the CPUSA on the way in which to
handle the black question is a bitter one, and no clear-cut
policy has been established. An attempt by black nationalists
within the CPUSA to pass a resolution recommending that Negroes
arm themselves for self-defense was overwhelmingly defeated
at the recent 19th National Convention. In addition, the pro-
Maoist stance of the extremist. Black Panther Party (BPP) is
anathema to the pro-Soviet CPUSA.

CPUSA leaders have stated that the Black Panther:

approach. Leaders of the CPUSA in California have been in
contact with the Black Panther Party and have assisted in the
setting up of a defense committee for Panthers who have been
arrested. However, CPUSA leaders admit that it is not possible
to talk to Black Panthers as communists. One CPUSA member a

This does not mean that the CPUSA is not striving
to play a more effective role in its relationship with activ-
ists of both New Left and black extremist groups. Individual
Party members do play a role in demonstrations, activities,
and workings of these groups. Party publications trumpet in
support of all demonstrations which stir up discord in the
United States whether it be economic, social, or against the
war in Vietnam.
Pro-Chinese Communist Groups.
a. Progressive Labor Party
Recent years have witnessed the formation of
myriad of extremist organizations enunciating the tenets.....
of Communist China and Mao Tse-tung. The majority have been
ineffectual paper organizations and not viable operations.
However, one group, the Progressive Labor Party (PLP), is
making significant organizational strides in major American
cities and on a number of college campuses.

Revolutionary Union
The Revolutionary Union (RU) was formed in the

new militant. national Marxist-Leninist organization with:
allegiance to the thought of Mao Tse-tung and the Communist:
Party of China. After operating for over a year in an

of the PLP, and young high school and college militants who

United States were successful in having their names placed on
some 19 state ballots during the 1968 elections. They also

The Trotskyite Fourth International `(FI), self-¨

headquartered in Paris, France, and claims to be fighting
for the realization of Leon Trotsky's ideas. The SWP was

the SWP maintains "fraternal ties" with the FI and continually

The Young Socialist Alliance (YSA), SWP youth.
affiliate also headquartered in New York City, was originally
formed in 1957 by former members of socialist and communist :
youth organizations. One of its primary purposes is to
recruit youth into the socialist camp who ultimately will
become members of the SWP. The entire National Executive
Committee of the YSA is composed of individuals who are also
members of the SWP. Most of the YSA chapters are located on
or near college campuses.
In addition to acting as a recruiting mechanism
for ultimate SWP membership, the YSA's current main objective
is-to organize, sdominate, control and perpetuate the antivar
movement in the country. The YSA, together. with the SWP,
credit themselves with organizing a number of massive antiwar
demonstrations.
The YSA National Convention, held in Chicago;
Illinois, from November 28 to December 1, 1968, was attended
by 791 registered individuals, including 405 current active
members representing 29 states and 128 cities. Guests came
from Canada, Mexico, France and Germany. During the four
days of the Convention, the YSA recruited approximately 00

Undoubtedly, as the number one target of communist.

is. faced with the reality of skilled communist agents acting
against the interests of our Nation. For years, the communist
"bloc of nations, including the Soviet Union, Albania'," Bulgaria,
Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Outer Mongolia, Poland, Rumania'
and Yugoslavia, have had diplomatic, official and quasi-
official representatives stationed in their establishments in
this country.

PXSECRE
Currently, these establishments exist in
New York City%3B Washington, D. C.; Pittsburgh; and Chicago
with a total complement of over 1,000 communist nationals
and about 1,400 dependents. Our investigations have disclosed
there are over 350 known or highly suspected intelligence
officers or agents among them, of whom about 220 are Soviet
'nationals.
In addition to this open or "legal" channel of
intelligence operations, the communist-bloc nations utilize
highly clandestine "illegal" networks which have no observable
contact with the communist: official establishments. The
members of these networks who are sent here from abroad with
fraudulent documents and fictitious cover stories perform
intelligence collection tasks as do the communist intelligence
agents operating under diplomatic or official cover. In
time of emergency or war involving the United States and
communist countries, the "illegal" networks, would assume the
primary collection role for communist countries whose diplomats
and officials would be interned or expelled.
A.
In spite of the extensive nature of communist--bloc
intelligence operations to penetrate and subvert the
United States; there is little evidence that these intelligence.
gathering services are acting as channels for communist
support of the revolutionary protest movements here.
significant exception to this statement is the known activity
of certain Cuban intelligence agents acting under the cover
of official assignment to the Cuban Mission to the United Nations
(CMUN) in New York City.

Export of the Cuban revolution is the fundamental
principle of Cuba's foreign policy. We have determined that
in the United States such policy is manifested by clandestine
support of Puerto Rican independence groups and the fomenting
of racial strife and student disorders throughout the
United States.

Intelligence Service (CIS) assigned to the CMUN told a
representative of the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico (NPPR)
in New York City that Cuba was prepared to offer Puerto Rican
independentists weapons and material. In April, 1968, a CIS

The Chinese Communists have in the past mounted a
propaganda attack against the United States Government with
the intention of aggravating the racial situation in this :
country: On April 16, 1968, for instance, the New China News'
Agency (NCNA) broadcasted a statement by Chairman Mao Tse-tung
in support of the Afro-American struggle "against" violence.
Mao described this struggle as "waged by the exploited and
oppressed black people for freedom and emancipation. .."
and stated it represented a call for the "oppressed people of
the United States to fight against the barbarous rule of the
monopoly capitalist class." This was Mão's first major

The BPP makes widespread use of the "Red Book" in

.E. International Conferences
Numerous conferences throughout the world during
the past few years have evidenced both the international
character of the revolutionary protest movement and the desire
of foreign elements to influence the conduct of that movement
within the. United States. The majority of these meetings
have focused on opposition to the United States position in
Vietnam. As active participants in those gatherings,
representatives of militant groups within the United States
have joined with their foreign counterparts in efforts to
undermine the United States. A representative sampling of
such conferences will illustrate this point, and, in addition,..
give some indication as to the disruptive, anti-United States,
proposals made at them.

OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
Historically, the United States has been the..
target for subversive activities emanating from and directed
by the international communist movement in regard to efforts
to foment disorder and disruption in a revolutionary vein.
The change from the monolithic nature of the movement to
polycentrism only served to magnify the problem in that it
diversified the subversive attack.
Regardless of the diversification, the basic nature
of the attack remained the same. It emanated from communist
forces abroad and was channeled into this country through
communist-bloc diplomatic establishments and old-line communist
groups and organizations working to advance international to
communist objectives

counterintelligence operations.
The first factor was that the activities themselves;

situation which lent itself to effective utilization of
manpower for coverage and counterintelligence purposes.
term
The second factor was that the activities were
engaged in by organizations, such as the CPUSA, which were
tightly structured organizationally in the traditional pattern
of communist parties throughout the world. As such, they
presented clear-cut targets for informant penetration.
:.
"Because these old-line organizations also followed
the traditional pattern of operating under the concept of
democratic centralism with an insistence on rigid discipline
throughout party ranks, high-level informant penetration
provided an insight into strategy and tactics being considered
at all levels. Here, too, it was possible to effectively
negate their thrusts.

INTRODUCTION
Although the term "revolutionary protest
"movement" cannot be precisely defined because of the
amorphous nature of such movements, it can be said
that revolutionary protest movements existing within the
United States fall into two broad categories, i.e. the
New Left movement and the black extremist movement.
The New Left movement, which grew out of the
civil rights struggle of the 1950s, is a loose-knit,
undisciplined group of individuals who view our system of.
government as irredeemably corrupt and oppressive. Their
stated aims and objectives are simple; they are dedicated
to the total destruction of our traditional values and
democratic system of government.
The New Left movement in this country is clearly.
an integral part of a world-wide revolutionary movement of
students and young intellectuals. There is a definitering
【similarity of goals, a uniformity of action from country to
country, and a rapport among leftist organizations and..
individuals in this and foreign countries:
።።
Like the New Left movement, the black extremist
movement in the United States can be traced to the civil rights
movement of the early 1960s and the violent response to civil.
rights agitation. This is best seen in the history of the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), formed in
1960 in Atlanta, Georgia. SNCC was one of the moving forces
behind the Freedom Riders of the early 1960s and was the target
of Ku Klux Klan violence. In May, 1966, Stokely Carmichael was
elected chairman of SNCC. The lack of progress toward integration

Foreign communist, support, of revolutionary
protest movements in the United States can be manifested
in a number of ways. Since the Communist Party, USA; is
under the domination and control of the Soviet Union, it
can be used more and more as a vehicle to support these
movements. Similarly, the Progressive Labor Party and other
pro-Chinese Communist groups can be utilized by Communist
China as a channel for rendering support to protest movements
in the United States. Other traditional channels which can
be used more are the communist-bloc diplomatic establishments
and the clandestine intelligence services operated by the
communists within the United States.
In addition to the channels of communication open
to foreign communists within the confines of the United States,
leaders of United States-based protest movements have in
recent years begun to reach out beyond the continental limits
of the United States to solicit support of foreign communists and
revolutionary. protest movements abroad. New Loftists and black
extremists travel abroad extensively and participate freely in
various international conferences which are invariably attended
by and sometimes even sponsored by communists. New Left and
black extremist leaders frequently confer with representatives
of foreign communist governments. At the same time,
revolutionaries frequently travel to the United States and
confer with leaders of protest movements in this country.
All of these "channels of communication" are
treated in this study which is designed to show the extent
to which revolutionary protest movements in the United States
are receiving foreign communist support.

FOREIGN COMMUNIST SUPPORT OF REVOLUTIONARY PROTEST
MOVEMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES
A:
Influence of Domestic Communist Left
Communist Party, USA
Since it was founded in September, 1919, the
Communist Party, USA (CPUSA) has been unswerving in its
allegiance to the Soviet Union. Over the years the Soviets
have utilized the CPUSA as a trusted vehicle to influence:
revolutionary activity within the United States. Accordingly,
FBI investigations of CPUSA activities have included the
objective of determining the extent to which the Soviets may
have been using the CPUSA as a possible channel for Soviet
support of the current revolutionary protest movements in this
country. All available information derived from these
investigations to date indicates that while the CPUSA has made
Covertures to the revolutionary protest groups there has been
limited acceptance of the CPUSA by such groups.
In recognition of its lack of support among.
youthful activists on college campuses, the CPUSA is currently
making plans to establish a new youth group directed toward
youth in industry. Party-leaders, on the other hand, have
criticized New Left groups such as the Students for a Democratic
Society as petty bourgeois radicals. Party youth who have
attempted to have the CPUSA relate more clearly with such
groups have been isolated and silenced. The CPUSA theoretical
organ, "Political Affairs," in its March and April, 1969, issues,
contained a two-part article entitled ""The Student Rebellion,"
which clearly set out CPUSA opposition to the anti-Soviet, anti-
CPUSA line of student protest groups.
Within the past year leaders of the CPUSA in the
Midwest met with leaders of the Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS) to discuss closer cooperation or possible
recruitment of these individuals into the CPUSA. These over-
tures were completely rebuffed by the SDS people who stated
that while there were no disagreements with CPUSA philosophy

it is most doubtful the CPUSA is relevant today. When it was
proposed that there be some form of collectivity between the
SDS and the CPUSA, the SDS leaders replied that the CPUSA is
not involved in SDS collectives because the CPUSA has nothing
to contribute.
Subsequently, a leader of the SDS in conversation
with leaders of the CP of Illinois stated that the "Establish-
ment as it exists today must be changed, even if this change -
must be through force. He added that the "Establishment"
must be replaced by a communist government. He further stated
that there has to be a communist party and there has to be a big
communist revolution and that SDS is the only group to organ-
ize the youth, thus rejecting the CPUSA as a possible, vehicle
-for bringing about this revolution.

movement in the United States and the need to become influential
in the current ideological struggle in order to orient-it to--
Soviet style communism.
:
With regard to the activists in black extremist
groups, the CPUSA is under a severe strain in attempting to
develop a program to attract these individuals while at the
same time adhering to its pro-Soviet and Marxist-Leninist¨ide-
ology. The fight within the CPUSA on the way in which to
handle the black question is a bitter one and no clear-cut
(policy has been established. An attempt by black nationalists
within the CPUSA to pass a resolution recommending that Negroes
arm themselves for self-defense was overwhelmingly defeated
at the recent 19th National Convention. In addition, the pro-
Maoist stanee of the extremist Black Panther Party (BPP) is
anathema to the pro-Soviet CPUSA.
CPUSA leaders have stated that the Black Panther
Party may be a vehicle to stimulate revolutionary ferment among
-Negro youth if the Panthers can be taught a true Marxist-Leninist.

contact with the Black Panther Party and have assisted in the
setting up of a defense committee for Panthers who have been

Black Panther Party.
This does not mean that the CPUSA is not striving
to play a more effective role in its relationship with activ-
ists of both New Left and black extremist groups. Individual
Party members do play a role in demonstrations, activities,
and workings of these groups... Party publications trumpet in
support of all demonstrations which stir up discord in the
United States whether it be economic, social, or against the
war in Vietnam.
2. Pro-Chinese Communist Groups
Progressive Labor Party:
Recent years have witnessed the formation of
myriad of extremist organizations enunciating the tenets
of Communist China and Mao Tse-tung. The majority have been
ineffectual paper organizations, and not viable operations.
"However, one group, the Progressive Labor Party (PLP), is
making significant organizational strides in major American;'
cities and on a number of college campuses:
The PLP was founded in 1962, by extremist
elements of the CPUSA who were dissatisfied with CPUSA's
"revisionism" and who advocated the following of the Chinese
communist line in all areas of policy. It is headed by such
devoted revolutionaries as Milton Rosen,' one-time Labor Secretary
„……of the New York State Communist Party; who was expelled from
the CPUSA for extremist views; and William Epton, who, following
_his_participation in the Harlem race riot of 1964, was found
guilty of conspiracy to riot, conspiracy to advocate criminal
anarchy, and advocating criminal anarchy.

Headquartered in New York City, the PLP. has
established active branches in a number of major metropolitan
areas including Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Newark, Los Angeles,
Philadelphia, and San Francisco. During recent months, it has
made a concerted effort to establish PLP branches throughout the
United States. Spearheading this drive has been Walter Linder,.

The PLP maintains close contact with pro-Chinese
Communist groups abroad and its publications consistently
follow the Chinese Communist line. For example, during early
1968 the PLP issued a pamphlet in which it proclaimed that
the PLP is among groups which "proudly make common cause with
each other and with the Chinese for world revolution" and
at boasted of its support of the Viet Cong in defeat of our "common is

the PLP and the Communist Party of China, the latter informed,
top-level PLP members in 1967 that it considered the PLP to
be the only revolutionary Marxist-Leninist party in the
United States.
As evidence of Chinese Communist support of the
vaPLP information has been developed which revealed that during
1967 and 1968 the PLP received a total of more than $13,000
from a European bank where an organ of the Chinese Communist
Government maintains an account. During 1968, the PLP received
more than $2,000- from Hong Kong, believed to have emanated from
Chinese Communist sources.

Chinese Communist agencies and have on occasion visited the .
Chinese mainland. Jacob Rosen and Frederick Jerome, members
of PLP National Committee, travelled to the Red Chinese main-

San Francisco State College, and participation in the student
unrest at the University of California at Berkeley California.
The PLP has been particularly successful in
its attempts to play a major role in the activities of SDS.
During the SDS National Convention, which ended on June 22,
1969, at Chicago, the PLP element succeeded in splitting the
organization into two separate groups, each electing national
officers and claiming their respective groups to be in control
of SDS...
Revolutionary Union
The Revolutionary Union (RU) was formed in the
San Francisco area in early 1968 as the nucleus of a proposed
new militant national Marxist-Leninist organization with
allegiance to the thought of Mao Tse-tung and the Communist
Party of China. After operating for over a year in an
underground fashion, the RU partially surfaced in April, 1969.
Since its formation, the RỤ has organized into
a number of "collectives" in the San Francisco area. Its member's
are old-time. militant renegades from the CPUSA, former leaders' co C
of the PLP, and young high school and college militants who
have gained some notoriety as activists in local campus and
related disorders. RU members reportedly are accumulating
weapons and engaging in firearms and guerrilla warfare training.
They have played a prominent role in disorders at Stanford; at
the University of California at Berkeley; at San Francisco State
College; and in connection with the strike of the Oil, Chemical,
and Atomic Workers Union, which has resulted in violence in the
Richmond, California, area
ཙ
At the present tie, RU leaders are seeking
to establish rapport with other militant "collectives" and
increase their influence in the SDS. The RU is in competition
with the PLP and is seeking to discredit PLP in the eyes of
the Chinese Communists and neutralize PLP influence in SDS.
One of the two founders of the RU is Leibel
Bergman, a long-time communist who turned first against
the CPUSA and then dropped out of his leadership role in
the PLP. In 1965, Bergman clandestinely travelled to Communist
China where he resided for approximately two years utilizing
a pseudonym.

In late 1967, Bergman indicated a desire to obtain

forward to China. He provided funds for this intelligence-
gathering effort and also to support the operations of a

is a militant revolutionary group based on the theories of
Marx, Engels, and Lenin-as interpreted by Leon Trotsky rather...
then Joseph Stalin.

In addition to its avowed aim to eventually
overthrow our form of Government, "the SWP's most immediate
aim and objective is to hold together the coalition of.
antiwar groups prevalent in the country today. It also
seeks public acceptability by running candidates for
political office on local, state and national levels. SWP
candidates for President and Vice President of the
United States were successful in having their names placed on
some 19 state ballots during the 1968 elections. They also
traveled to South Vietnam where they engaged in discussions
with United States servicemen.

forced by the limitations of the Voorhis Act of 1940 to
withdraw its official affiliation with the FI: Nevertheless,
the SWP maintains ""fraternal ties" with the Fi and continually
bas "observers" in attendance at its international meetings.
The Young Socialist Alliance (VSA), SWP youth
affiliate, also headquartered in New York City, was originally
formed in 1957 by former members of socialist and communist:
youth, organizations. One of its primary purposes is to
recruit youth into the socialist camp who ultimately will
become members of the SWP. The entire National Executive
Committee of the YSA is composed of individuals who are also
members of the SWP. Most of the YSA chapters are located on
or near college campuses.
In addition to acting as a recruiting mechanism
for ultimate STP membership, the YSA's current-main objective
is to organize, dominate, control and perpetuate the antiwar
movement in the country. The YSA, together with the SWP,
credit themselves with organizing a number of massive antiwar
demonstrations.
The YSA National Convention, held in Chicago,
Illinois, from November 28 to December 1, 1968, was attended
by 791 registered individuals, including 405 current active
members representing 29 states and 128 cities. Guests came
from Canada, Mexico, France and Germany. During the four
days of the Convention, the YSĄ recruited approximately 60

Because the YSA is a youth group consisting in the
main of college students, most of its activities take place
on or near college campuses. Its members have participated
in many of the campus disorders which have recently swept
the country. For the past several years, Peter Camejo, SWP.
National Committee member and former national officer of the
YSA, has been the dominant leader of the campus disorders
and police confrontations on the campus of the University of

B. Role of Communist-Bloc Intelligence
Undoubtedly, as the number one target of communist.
intelligence agencies throughout the world, the United States
is. faced with the reality of skilled communist agents acting
against the interests of our Nation. For years, the communist
bloc of nations, including the Soviet Union, Albania', Bulgaria,
Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Outer Mongolia, Poland, Rumania
and Yugoslavia, have had diplomatic, official and quasi- *
official representatives stationed in their establishments in
this country.

Currently, these establishments exist in
New York City; Washington, D. C.; Pittsburgh; and Chicago
with a total complement of over 1,000 communist nationals
and about 1,400 dependents. Our investigations have disclosed
there are over 350 known or highly suspected intelligence
officers or agents among them, of whom about 220 are Soviet
nationals.
In addition to this open or "legal" channel of
intelligence operations, the communist-bloc nations utilize |
highly clandestine "illegal" networks which have no observable
contact with the communist official establishments. The
members of these networks who are sent here from abroad with
fraudulent documents and fictitious cover stories perform
intelligence collection tasks as do the communist intelligence
agents operating under diplomatic or official cover. In
time of emergency or war involving the United States and
communist countries, the "illegal" networks, would assume the
primary collection role for communist countries whose diplomats
and officials would be interned or expelled.

significant exception to this statement is the known activity
of certain Cuban intelligence agents acting under the cover
of official assignment to the Cuban Mission to the United Nations
(CMUN) in New York City.
˚C. Cuban Intelligence Service
Export of the Cuban revolution is the fundamental
principle of Cuba's foreign policy. We have determined that
in the United States such policy is manifested by clandestine
support of Puerto Rican independence groups and the fomenting
of racial strife and student disorders throughout the
United States.
In September, 1967, two officers of the Cuban
Intelligence Service (CIS) assigned to the CMUN told a
representative of the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico (NPPR)
in New York City that Cuba was prepared to offer Puerto Rican
independentists weapons and material. In April, 1968, a CIS
officer at the CMUN delivered to a representative of the

Puerto Rican Independence Movement (Movimiento Pro-
Independencia de Puerto Rico - MPIPR) a message from the
Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (CPC). The
message expressed CPC solidarity with and support of the
MPIPR in the latter's struggle for independence. Cuban
support has included guerrilla training for some leaders of:
current violence in Puerto Rico.
With reference to the fomenting of racial strife
and student disorders in the United States by Cuba, `our.
investigation of Jesus Jimenez Escobar is a case in point.
He arrived in the United States in August 1967, to assume
duties as a First Secretary at the CMUN. He left the
United States on February 20, 1969, at the State Department's
request based upon the results of our investigation of him.
At the time of his departure, he held the rank of Counselor,
thisecond in order of diplomatic precedence at the CMUN.
;
Our investigation of Jimenez determined that he was
a principal link between the Cuban Government and leaders of
black extremist and New Left student groups in the
United States. He gave advice and counsel to such leaders,
including H. Rap Brown and Stokely Carmichael, then affiliated
with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC); d
furnished Cuban propaganda materials to them; and arranged
visits to Cuba for unknown purposes by many of them.
During early May, 1968, while in Washington, D. C.,
ostensibly as a representative of the Cuban Government to the
Pan American Health Organization, Jimenez instructed
Stokely Carmichael to "continue to follow Plan A-5."
Carmichael was then agitating in Washington, D. C., following
the serious racial disorders here of the preceding month.
The significance of Jimenez' instructions to Carmichael is
unknown; however, an SDS plan of similar terminology resulted
in an undisciplined mass protest and violence at Columbia ·
University, also during April, 1968.
The intelligence functions of Jimenez at the CMUN
appear to have been taken over by Alberto Boza Hidalgo-Gato,
lower in diplomatic rank (First Secretary), but, superior to
Jimenez in the CIS bierarchy (deputy head of CIS activities
at the CMUN).

Boza arrived in the United States on September 6, 1968.

been operationally associated in New York City with Soviet
intelligence personnel. He acted as interpreter for
Stokely Carmichael during a visit of the latter in Cuba."

official establishments in the United States, is posing an
intelligence threat constantly through individuals residing as

of our Nation who have Chinese origins or background have
come to occupy prominent or significant positions in fields
of science, education, industry, defense, and government.

the past few years have evidenced both the international
character of the revolutionary protest movement and the desire

have focused on opposition to the United States position in
Vietnam. As active participants in those gatherings,
représentatives of militant groups within the United States

F. Visits to the United States by Foreign Revolutionaries
"The virtual lack of travel restrictions, by the
United States, coupled with the comparative ease in obtaining, a
United States visa, practically eliminates any problems foreign
leftists have in travelling to the United States. There have
been numerous such individuals who have travelled here in the
past fol varying reasons. Notable among these are Ernest and
Gisela Mandel from Belgium and Karl Deitrich. Wolff from Germany.

· Ernest Mandel is a leading member of the Trotskyite
Secretariat of the Fourth International. He is also an
· activist in the New Left movement throughout Western Europe.
His wife, Gisela, was active in founding the anarchistic
Socialist German Students Federation (German SDS) in Berlin,
Germany, and is friendly with leaders of various radical youth
groups in Western Europe. Ernest Mandel's trip was arranged
by the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) while the Young
Socialist Alliance (YSA) organized the tour of Gisela Mandel.
These two individuals, during September and October, 1968,
made separate tours which took them to some 50 college and
university campuses from coast to coast and border to border. .
Each appearance made by these two individuals was marked by
their espousing the revolutionary doctrine of the New Left
before United States college students.
Karl Deitrich Wolff, a former national chairman of
the German SDS, entered the United States on February 25, 1969,
reportedly to engage in a speaking and fund raising tour
arranged for him by SDS. He appeared at some 16 colleges
throughout the country and did not miss any opportunity to
spread seeds of discontent and anarchy. He cited examples of
harrassment and disruption and announced the need to build an
international revolutionary alliance adding that a victory for
txa xüḥe: movement in one country is a victory for the movement into to
another.
Wolff was subpoeaned to appear before the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee and during his testimony
expressed, support for the regimes in Cuba and North Vietnam,

Contact Between Leaders of United States Protest Groups
and Representatives of Foreign Communist Groups
1: New Left Movement
Cuba and North Vietnam have been particularly strong
magnets for New Left protest groups. Much of the strength of
these organizations derives from their ability to maintain
close relationships and dialogues with foreign establishments,
For instance, the National Mobilization Committee to End the.
War in Vietnam (NMC) maintains a foreign contact list of over
300 individuals and organizations throughout the world. Its.
chairman, David Dellinger; has travelled to the Soviet Union,"
North Vietnam, Czechoslovakia, Cuba and Sweden in furtherance
of opposition to the war in Vietnam. The NMC and Dellinger
maintain almost constant contact with the Governments, of Cuba
and North Vietnam and representatives of the National
Liberation Front of South Vietnam. - Dellinger feels such
contacts give the NMC and himself notoriety and build their
image in the movement.

One of the most highly publicized visits to North
*** Vietnam was a ten-day trip made in December; 1965, 'by'.
Staughton Lynd, a former member of the American Youth for.
Democracy, a defunct communist youth group; Herbert Aptheker,
a member of the National Committee of the CPUSA and Thomas
Hayden, one of the founders of SDS. Their trip was not
authorized by the State Department.
It was described by the
three travellers as a "fact-finding" .mission.
Following the Bratislava Conference. held in
September, 1967, Hayden and two other SDS members travelled to

In February; 1968, 20 SDS members visited Cuba and,
while there, held conferences with representatives of the

Black Extremist Movement
☐ The obvious objective of communist incursions into
the black extremist movement is to bring about & Negro
revolution in the United States. The presence of trained.
intelligence agents in Cuban. Embassies and Missions together
with the interest expressed by Cuban officers in the black

Carmichael was successful in extracting a promise from

III. OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
Historically, the United States has been the....
target for subversive activities emanating from and directed
by the international communist movement in regard to efforts
to foment disorder and disruption in a revolutionary vein.
The change from the monolithic nature of the movement to
polycentrism only served to magnify the problem in that it
diversified the subversive attack.
Regardless of the diversification, the basic nature
of the attack remained the same. It emanated from communist |
forces abroad and was channeled into this country through
communist-bloc diplomatic establishments and old-line communist
groups and organizations working to advance international :-
communist objectives.
From the standpoint of the FBI's responsibilities
-in regard to countering these subversive thrusts, there were
two significant factors which enabled us to mount_effective.
counterintelligence operations.
:. .
The first factor was that the activities themselves;
took place for the most part within our borders. It was a
situation which lent itself to effective utilization of if
_ manpower for coverage and counterintelligence purposes.
-
The second factor was that the activities were
engaged in by organizations, such as the CPUSA, which were
tightly structured organizationally in the traditional pattern
of communist parties throughout the world. As such, they
presented clear-cut targets for informant penetration.
·
Because these old-line organizations also followed
the traditional pattern of operating under the concept of
democratic centralism with an insistence on rigid discipline
throughout party ranks, high-level informant penetration
provided an insight into strategy and tactics being considered
at all levels. Here, too, it was possible to effectively
negate their thrusts.
The emergence of the New Left and black-extremist
movements in our society drastically, altered the situation.
They evolved mostly out of social reform movements which
increasingly have been transformed into hard-core revolutionary
movements dedicated to the total destruction of our democratic
traditions and our society.
NW 88608 Docld:32989618 Page 98

32-
They produced a new breed of revolutionaries whose
main preoccupation with communism is that it has produced
men like Mao Tse-tung, Ho Chi Minh, and Che Guevarra, whom
they hope to emulate in the overthrow of a system they deem
oppressive.
•
From the inception of these movements, the FBI
has been aware of the fact that their increasingly revolutionary
communist imprint posed new and unique problems for the
internal security of this nation.
As these forces of revolutionary protest hardened
in their resolve to accomplish their purpose, more and more
they reached out to join hands with and seek support from
old-line communists not only inside our country but also
communists and anarchists abroad.
In effect, the picture has changed from one in
which international communist forces sought out supporters
within our country to carry out their objectives to one
in which domestic revolutionaries are reaching our seeking the
support of anyone, including communists, throughout the world.
who will help and support them in their own destructive aims.
Since the objectives of both so clearly coincide, it
is inevitable that they will join forces in common cause. The
willingness of the Soviets; Chinese communists, and Cubans
to support the efforts of domestic revolutionaries here already
has been demonstrated. In addition, the movement of the
New Left and black extremist revolutionary protestors toward
increasingly centralized, more tightly disciplined organizations
will facilitate the inevitable linkings.
:
It is essential that we bring together and intensify
the intelligence capabilities of our country to meet this
growing threat. It is imperative that we penetrate all the
channels of communication between foreign. communist forces

and domestic revolutionaries; that we take all possible
additional investigative steps to safeguard the security
of this Nation in a time of multiplying and expanding
crises. This has become mandatory because of increasing
problems which may be anticipated in the future by
reason of the growing alliances with foreign communist
elements.

nonmembership civil rights organization. It took part in voter
registration work in the South and was one of the moving forces
behind the Freedom Riders of the early 1960s. In 1966 Stokely
Carmichael was elected National Chairman of SNCC. He moved this
group from the civil rights field to a full-blown revolutionary
group. Carmichael urged Negroes to prepare for a "bloody.
revolution."
Carmichael was succeeded as National Chairman in
1967. by H. Rap Brown, who continued Carmichael's policy of
denouncing United States' intervention in Vietnam, calling for
rebellion by any means, and massive civil disobedience.
SNCC is a nonmembership organization which is
headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. It is composed of 50 staff
members and a 15-member Central Committee.

support of the United Nations, enforcement of civil rights laws
and new approaches to the entire social welfare system. The
organization is currently urging abolition of the Anti-Ballistic
Missile System, withdrawal of United States troops from Vietnam,
and the elimination of racial discrimination.

Mr. W. C. Sullivan
FROM :C. D. Brennan (
DATE: June 30, 1969
SUBJECT FOREIGN SUPPORT FOR/REVOLUTIONARY PROTEST
MOVEMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES.
1x
The Director approved my memorandum of 6/23/69
which advised we were preparing a report for Mr. Tom Charles
Huston, Staff Assistant to the President, at his request
regarding our coverage of foreign communist support of
revolutionary youth activities in the United States to reach
him by 6/30/69. We advised Mr. Huston such a report would
be forthcoming.
Our report sets forth the traditional channel
for communist support of revolutionary activity in this
country by the established basic revolutionary groups under
foreign domination such as the Communist Party, USA, and the
Socialist Workers Party. We also cover the capabilities of
hostile intelligence operations directed at the United States
by the Soviet Union, Cuba and Communist China.
Next we show the newer, bolder avenues of support
and direction being utilized by revolutionaries, often
without any attempt to conceal their purpose. These include
international conferences which in this period of history
are ostensibly for peace in Vietnam but which also have the
usual underlying goal of destroying United States prestige
in world affairs. The ease of international travel and
communication with revolutionary intent by New Left and black
extremist adherents from the United States and abroad is then
set forth.
The section dealing with our coverage of the above
threats to our internal security clearly shows our strong
reliance upon the use of live informants and physical surveillance
techniques contrasted by the highly selective and limited use
of electronic coverage,

Memorandum to Mr. W. C. Sullivan
RE:
FOREIGN SUPPORT FOR REVOLUTIONARY PROTEST
MOVEMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES
Our report shows that the FBI has been aware from
the inception of the New Left and black extremist movements
that they pose new and unique threats to our internal security.
It shows we have readjusted our investigative intelligence
efforts to cope with the new problems created. It stresses
the fact that these movements are developing increasingly
into hard-core revolutionary elements which will demand
still greater attention in the form of increased coverage
as it appears there will be increasingly closer links between
these movements and foreign communists in the future.
We have prepared a transmittal letter to Mr. Huston
submitting our report. Inasmuch as this document is not going
directly to the President, no copy is being forwarded to the
Attorney General at this time.
ACTION:
With your approval, the attached report and letter
will be forwarded to Mr. Huston.

Reference is made to the enclosed memorandum from W. C. Sullivan
to Mr. DeLoach dated June 18, 1969.
Mr. Huston did come in yesterday. The first thing he said was
(that he had made a mistake in going to Mr. J. Walter Yeagley as
Yeagley did not seem to know anything about the New Left. Mr. Huston
then went on to say that President Nixon called him in and discussed
with him in some detail the need for the President to know in greater
depth the details concerning the revolutionary activities stemming
from the New Left. In particular, said Mr. Huston, President Nixon
is interested in all information possible relating to foreign
jiniluences and the financing of the New Lefi. ñe said he was
[requested by the President to also go to other members of the
intelligence community to develop whatever materials they may have
within their jurisdiction.
Mr. Huston said that on completing his work, it will be
presented to the President for his use.
I told Mr. Huston that I was not in any position to make
commitments in this matter, that if he had such a request to make
it would be necessary for him to put it in writing and address his
letter to the Director who made the decisions in such areas.
Mr. Huston said that he would do this.

Mr. Tom Charles Huston, Staff Assistant to the
| President, the White House, has submitted the attached
memorandum requesting us to set forth our coverage of
foreign communist support of revolutionary youth activities
in the United States, its effectiveness and what steps
can be taken to provide maximum possible coverage of these

The United States is the ultimate target or all
revolutionary movements and support of revolutionary activities
in this country comes from all strata of international
communism whether they be pro-Russian, pro-Chinese or pro-Cuban
oriented. This request by Mr. Huston requires a comprehensive,
in-depth review of our coverage of all subversive groups in
which we have an interest. We have started a division-wide
research and analysis project and a detailed report to the
White House will be prepared as requested to be submitted to
the White House on June 30, 1969.
Mr. Huston has also indicated a desire to discuss this
matter with us after evaluating our report. This will be
coordinated by the Domestic Intelligence Division and, of course,
no commitments will be made without securing the specific
approval of the Director.

MEMORANDUM
Y THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
June 20, 1969
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
it
MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVES
FROM: Tom Charles Huston
Staff Assistant to the President
The President has directed that a report on foreign
Communist support of revolutionary protest movements in this
country be prepared for his study. He has specifically requested
that the report draw upon all the resources available to the
intelligence community and that it be as detailed as possible.
."Support" should be liberally construed to include
all activities by foreign Communists designed to encourage or
assist revolutionary protest movements in the United States
On the basis of earlier reports submitted to the President
on a more limited aspect of this problem, it appears that our
present intelligence collection capabilities in this area may
\be inadequate. The President would like to know what resources
(we presently have targeted toward monitoring foreign Communist
support of revolutionary youth activities in this country, how
effective they are, what gaps in our intelligence exist because
of either inadequate resources or a low priority of attention,
and what steps could be taken, if he directed, to provide
the maximum possible coverage of these activities.
་
I have asked CIA, NSA, and DIA to submit their contributions
to me by Monday, June 30th. I would appreciate it if the Bureau
would provide their response to the President's request by that
date.
Since the Bureau has primary responsibility in this
area, I would like to discuss the matter further with your staff
after I have had an opportunity to evaluate the initial
contributions. The President has assigned a high priority to
this project, and I want to insure that he receives the most
complete report that it is possible to assemble.

PRACTICE TO UTILIZE A CONTROL FILE FOR MAIL COVERS. RATHER, THEY
ARE WORKED FROM THE SUBSTANTIVE FILE. THEREFORE, THERE IS NO
PRACTICAL METHOD TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF MAIL COVERS THAT MAY
HAVE BEEN PLACED IN YEARS PAST. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT

In airtel dated 10/5/62, Baltimore reported
BA 1229-S* as stating in part that on 10/2/62 male subject
was reading to female subject what sounded like a message.
In this message he was instructed, "In your letters, don't
forget to answer all questions". )(4)
To date subject's mail drop is not known,
It will be recalled that subjects possess an
Olympia typewriter. Copies of typing samples obtained from
this machine, which has a distinctive foreign-type appearance,
are available to SAM SURVEY agents. Copies of the distinctive
typing used by female subject in connection with a cosmetology
application are likewise available.
In an attempt to determine the mail drop possibly
being used by the subject, it is recommended that in addition
to the standards normally used in selections under the SAM
SURVEY program, a card record be made. of all letters using
Olympia typing which emanate from the Baltimore and Washington,
D. C., area. Letters which are patently commercial in nature
can be disregarded; however, any doubt should be resolved in
favor of recording the information. In the interest of security,
where a selection is made for JARO purposes, no further action
is to be taken at this time, other than to record the information.
Pertinent addresses of the subjects and others
of possible use are available to SAM SURVEY agents.

Reference is made to your Personal and Confidential
Memorandum dated January 8, 1948, requesting to be advised what
stops are taken by this office in the handling of material
received from Conficential Informant Z.
Please be advised that this coverage was inaugurated
in 1940 and since then it has been the practise to furnish copies
of material believed to be of interest to other offices with a
cover letter indicating the source of the material and that under
no circumstances could this source be disclosed. In cases
whore the material examined appeared to be of interest to the
Bureau photostatic copies of same were transmitted by letter.
The confidential character of Informant Z is generally
understood throughout the Field. In cases where the material
does not appear to be of any value it is destroyed and disposed
of through the regular channels at the Seat of Government.

amount of Bureau property be maintained and utilized at
this plant.
The purpose of this memorandum is to itemize
all of the Bureau property presently being maintained
and used at this location. All of this property is to

This informative memorandum records information
telephonically furnished the morning of 7/17/75 to Supervisor
S. F. Phillips, INTD, by former FBI Inspector Donald E. Moore.
At about 11:00 p.m., 7/16/75, Moore received a
telephone call at his residence from a Dave Martin (PH), who
identified himself with the AP (Associated Press), who asked
Moore if Moore was acquainted with the press accounts of
Director Kelley's press conference on 7/14/75, particularly
as Mr. Kelley's remarks pertained to surreptitious entries,
principally at embassies. Moore told Martin that he had
read about the matter in the newspapers. Martin asked
specifically about the "New York Daily News" of 7/16/75, and
Moore said he was not familiar with that account, Martin
then referred to the 7/16/75 "Washington Post" article and
referred Moore specifically to the newspaper referring to an
unnamed source. Martin wanted some comment from Moore which
the latter declined to give, Moore advising that any comment
should more properly come from the FBI.
Martin attempted to convince him he should make some
comment by stating that information about this matter would
eventually come out, and Martin was now offering Moore a change
to put the matter in a better light. Martin then asked Moore
if Mr. Kelley was correct in his statement and Moore again
declined to comment. Martin said he thought that the "unnamed
source" referred to in the newspaper was Bill Sullivan
(obviously referring to former Assistant to the Director
William C. Sullivan). Martin asked Moore if he agreed and
again Moore gave him a no comment reply. 62-116-37:

Martin then asked whether Joe Purvis was at one
time the SAC in WFO. This being a matter of public record,
Moore said that Purvis had been SAC in WFO. Martin attempted
to determine Purvis' current whereabouts and Moore could be
of no assistance as he actually does not know. Moore was
asked whether Bob Kunkel had replaced Purvis and Moore said
that he thought he had. Martin then wanted to know who Purvis'
predecessor was in WFO. Moore referred Martin to the FBI.
According to Moore, their conversation was cordial but he
sensed that Martin hung up rather abruptly. Moore indicated
that he thought that the Bureau would be interested in the
foregoing and he said that any similar further inquiries madẹ
of him would be similarly reported to us. Moore was thanked
for bringing this matter to our attention.
ACTION:
None. For information.

ALMIEHL
On behalf of the Select Committee, we wish to
express our appreciation to you for meeting with us on
Wednesday afternoon. We recognize the need for the Com-
mittee to have a complete understanding of the concerns
of the Department of Justice so that our inquiry can
proceed in the most responsible manner. Our meeting
was extremely valuable in that respect, and you may be
sure that we have given full consideration to your
views.
The Committee has been informed that Mr. John
T. Elliff, leader of the Domestic Intelligence Task
Force, and members of his staff met yesterday with Mr.
K. William O'Connor, Special Counsel for Intelligence
coordination, and members of his staff to agree upon
procedures for delivery of and access to FBI materials
requested by the Committee. The proposed procedures
which resulted from that meeting are satisfactory to
the Committee.
We are pleased that your staff was able to meét
promptly with our representatives and that they reached
agreement without delay. The Committee expects that the
proposed procedures will, if implemented, expedite its
work during the coming weeks. As you know, one of our
major concerns was that all of the problems with the
Committee's outstanding requests for materials

be resolved before the August recess so that the staff
can fully prepare the materials for our use when we
return. We believe the procedures are an appropriate
and practical accommodation of our mutual interests.
Indeed, we have instructed our staff to make every effort
to accomplish the work of the Committee within this
framework.
The prompt resolution of this matter demon-
strates a spirit of cooperation which we hope will
prevail in all our future relations. The Committee looks
forward to working with you personally on issues of common
concern during the months ahead.

PROPOSED PROCEDURES
or the Senior Staff
(1) The Domestic Task Force Leader/will submit periodically a list
of materials to which the Committee staff wishes access or of which
the Committee desires delivery. The first such list will be delivered
to the Department of Justice within 48 hours of the adoption of this
procedure, and will summarize and supersede all the presently outstanding
requests; this list will be in priority order, as fixed by the Committee,
with fixed delivery/access dates specified. Those materials for which
the Committee requests delivery or access shall be delivered to the
Committee or made accessible in Room 4171 of the Hoover Building not

hours, the expected length of the delay, and the specific reasons for
the delay. Partial access or delivery shall be proffered, by the
Bureau of/to any materials requested, while the balance of such
materials are being prepared. A partial proffer shall not extend
the time of full response set forth herein.
(2) The following procedures shall apply (a) where delivery of
materials requested might jeopardize FBI sensitive sources or
ongoing operations, or (b) where the Domestic Task Force Leader or the
requests access to materials, rather than delivery of
materials to the Committee.
(3) The Department will furnish access at the Hoover Building in
Room 4171 to those materials requested:
(a) only to the members of the Committee, where it is deter-
mined by the Attorney General that the materials involve peculiarly

(b) In all other cases, to the appropriately cleared staff
who will have access to all of the materials.
Senior
Staff
(c) An exception to (a) and (b) above is made for the names
of so-called "live" informants or potential informants as defined

General, the Chairman and Vice Chairman, jointly agree on the limited
disclosure of such names to the Chairman and Vice Chairman.

Committee's offices
(a) before the copies of such materials are taken to the

selection, make appropriate excisions and paraphrases of infor-
mation which might, if inadvertently disclosed, endanger sensitive
FBI sources and ongoing operations.
or the Senior Staff
(b) If the Task Force Leader/has any objections to the

the Special Counsel shall submit the matter forthwith to the Attorney
General who shall notify the Chairman forthwith and arrange for an
appropriate disposition.
(7) The Committee staff may remove to the Office of SSC for appropriate
use, any notes which they may make upon review of screened material

may remove notes on unscreened materials only is such notes are reviewed
and cleared by the Bureau under the provisions of (6) (a) thru (c) above.
(8) The staff and the members of the Committee may examine the
original materials to which the staff has been given access as
extensively as necessary, in the Hoover Building at Room 4171.

Washington, D.C. 20530
Dear Mr. O'Connor:
191
I have received your letter of July 15 regarding
access/delivery of documents requested in the Committee's
letter of July 9, 1975. The following relates specifically
to the procedure suggested for handling documents on the
so called "Kissinger 17" surveillance, which is also applied
in your letter to materials relating to electronic sur-
veillance of the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic
City in August 1964, materials relating to the electronic
surveillance of Dr. King, and possibly the û & C files.
I regard this suggested procedure as a major step
forward and a recognition that previous arrangements were
too cumbersome and time-consuming. Nevertheless, there
are certain practical problems with the procedure which may
be resolved by interpretation. For example, I assume that
application of the procedure to the Atlantic City conven-
tion matters does not foreclose the Committee from receiving
for use at its offices actual documents or portions of
documents, as well as summaries. I understand that the
FBI has no objection to providing such documents on this
matter to the Committee for use at its offices.
Therefore, in order that the procedure you suggest
may be applicable to all areas of Committee inquiry claimed
by the Department to involve particularly sensitive matters,
it should be interpreted as follows: the Committee staff
will have direct access to all files and materials at FBIHQ:
the Committee staff shall select certain documents from the
files which it deems pertinent to the Committee's inquiry
and necessary for the examination of witnesses or the es-
tablishment of certain facts during the course of the

inquiry; the FBI shall at that time designate specific
portions of such documents which might jeopardize par-
ticularly sensitive sources or methods; with respect
to such specifically designated portions of documents,
the Committee staff will prepare appropriate excisions
or summaries of the information; the summaries will be
checked at that time with senior Bureau executives to
ensure the protection of particularly sensitive FBI
sources or methods; thereafter, the excised documents
and summaries will be removed to the Committee's offices;
the Committee staff may check back to the original documents
as extensively as necessary; staff notes on the designated
specific portions of documents will not be removed from
FBIHQ; and Committee members may, of course, at any time
see the documents which the staff has seen.
I believe this interpretation can serve as a work-
able framework for Committee access to particularly sensitive
FBI materials. You may be assured that the Task Force shares
your concern for the need to provide special handling tech-
niques to convey or secure any particularly sensitive
information or materials, as indicated in the Outline for
Inquiry Procedures. We hope this interpretation will
facilitate the mutual effort by the Committee and the
Department of Justice to accomplish this purpose.
I would appreciate receiving your immediate advice
to me as to whether any further interpretation of this
matter is required. Any public discussion of these arrange-
ments and interpretations should be cast in such terms as
will not jeopardize particularly sensitive FBI sources.
Sincerely,
Jen't Elliph

Memorandum from Legal Counsel to Mr. J. B. Adams, dated
7/7/75, captioned "Colby Report to the President, " advised of a contact
of Legal Counsel by Mr. James A. Wilderotter, Associate Counsel to the
President, during which Wilderotter advised that the report submitted by -
Director Colby of the CIA to the President dated 12/24/74 which dealt mainly
with the issues discussed in a "New York Times" article of 12/22/74 by
Seymour Hersh has been the subject of an FOIA request by Morton Halperin.
Wilderotter advised that attorneys for CIA had prepared the material for
release and that the material was now in the possession of The White House
for their review. He suggested that inasmuch as the FBI was mentioned
in some of the material that it would be desirable for the FBI to review the
material prior to its release.
SA Fred J. Cassidy of the Intelligence Division reviewed this
material in Room 110 of the Old Executive Office Building on 7/7/75. This
review determined that the FBI is mentioned throughout the material being
made available to Halperin and that most of the references to the FBI
included in the material appear in the Rockefeller Commission Report which
Report has been made available to the general public. No FBI sensitive
sources or techniques are disclosed in the material to be furnished Halperin.
In reviewing the material, SA Cassidy noted a misstatement in
Mr. Colby's letter to the President which relates to the CIA mail intercept
project which was in existence from 1953 to 1973. In the Colby letter to the
President he stated that the intercept program was initiated in 1953 and from
its inception was fully coordinated with the FBI which received much of its
product. The facts are that we were not advised of the project until 1958

when we became aware of such a project through postal authorities,
which fact is substantiated in the Rockefeller Commission Report.
The only other item in the material to be furnished Halperin
which could possibly present future concern pertains to a memorandum
captioned "Restrictions on Operational Lists on Americans" which
was issued to CIA employees sometime subsequent to the CIA retrenchment
in activities brought about by allegations concerning CIA's involvement
in domestic activities. This memorandum concerned the discontinuance
of lists maintained on individuals who were of possible operational
interest to CIA such as doctors who studied abroad. The memorandum
noted that if such listings could not be made by CIA in a non-misunderstandable
manner arrangements should be made for the service to be performed by
the FBI or other service which can legitimately do this function. We
maintain no such list and have not been requested by CIA to perform such
ja service. Under present day circumstances whether we could legitimately
(perform such function is open to question.

At 9:24 a. m. on July 7;-1975; James A. Wilderotter,
Associate Counsel to the President, telephonically advised me that the
Colby Report to the President has been the subject of an FOIA request
by Morton Halperin, and attorneys for CIA have been preparing the material
for release. Mr. Wilderotter identified the Colby report as a 7 or 8 page
letter addressed to the President dealing with the issues discussed in a news
article by Seymour Hersh. Included with the letter were nine enclosures
all of which were classified. This material has been reviewed and appropriate
deletions made.
Mr. Wilderotter said that the material refers to FBI - CIA
liaison and the Bureau's Legats abroad. He said that he feels that the FBI
should review the material prior to its release. He said that the review
should be done today and that a Bureau representative should call Jay French,
at 145-2845, to arrange for the review which must be done in the Old Executive
Office Building.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Intelligence Division designate a representative to
meet with Mr. French and review the material: today.

Ps
It is my understanding that you have in your possession certain
materials which were compiled by the Commission on CIA Activities
Within the United States for the preparation of its report to the President.
While we have not had access to these files nor has there been.
any interagency coordination concerning materials over which this Purenu
has a proprietary interest, it is likely that the files contain information
regarding F operations of the utmost sensitivity. The disclosure of..
such material could endanger ongoing investigations and place in jeopardy
the security and welfare of FH sources.
In order to avoid any inadvertent compromise of these materials,
we would like to meet with you and Senator Tower at your earliest con-
venience for a discussion of those areas of the urgan's activities which
might warrant special consideration.

Bureau informant. The request obviously relates to our investi-
gation at "Wounded Knee" and our investigation of the
American Indian Movement (AIM). This request was received
6-27-75, by Legal Division.
On 6-27-75, Patrick Shea, staff member of the
SSC requested we hold in abeyance any action on the request
in view of the killing of the Agents at Pine Ridge Reservation,{{.

Attorney General. It would appear in view of this our
response or observations concerning this particular problem
are moot. However, it is possible similar situations

Washington, D. C. 20530
Dear Mr. Attorney General:
June 27, 1975
JUN 27 1976
O.LA
On April 28 I wrote to you concerning certain allegations
contained in Newsweek magazine pertaining to the removal from
the FBI of certain "personal and confidential" or "official and
confidential" files belonging to former Director J. Edgar
Hoover. The Select Committee did not receive any acknowledgment
or response to the letter until one month later on May 20, at
which time we received a memorandum from the FBI. That memo-
randum was unsigned and stated, in essence, that the FBI had no
knowledge of the matter although a former employee might. A
copy of my letter of April 28, the FBI memorandum and a letter
of transmittal are attached.
As a result of conversations between members of my staff
and representatives of the Department of Justice and the FBI, the
Select Committee understood that the May 20 memorandum ended the
matter and that neither the Department nor the Bureau intended
to investigate further. We made it clear that we would proceed
with our investigation. In its May 14 comprehensive request of
your Department, the Committee had already specified several items
(items 21-23 of Appendix C) related to the so-called "Official
and Confidential" files which you had described in your testimony
of February 27, before the House Judiciary Committee. Further-
more, members of our staff have interviewed a number of persons
knowledgeable about the files maintained by Miss Helen Gandy,
Executive Assistant to Mr. Hoover, part of which apparently were
the "Official and Confidential" files which you had described
in your testimony.

gation of the transfer of the files maintained in Miss Gandy's
office. The fact that the Department is conducting such an
investigation has been confirmed by representatives of the
Department and the Bureau.
S
We are pleased that you are investigating the matter and
trust that you now will be able to answer the questions posed
in my April 28 letter. In addition, we would appreciate your
´supplying any other information which comes to your attention
on the matter, including, of course, the results of your
investigation. In the meantime, however, our investigation
must continue. In that connection, representatives of the
Department have suggested that we should not interview current
Bureau employees during the course of the Department's investi-
gation. I am sure that you will agree that our investigation
should not be delayed by the pendency of the Department's
investigation. My hope is that we can work together on this
matter and, if you agree, would appreciate your indicating
that restrictions on our proceeding have been lifted.
Thank you for your cooperation in) this matter.
Sincerely yours,

Furthermore, at the same time, Director Kelley

Please determine for the Select Committee whether
any documents were removed from Mr. Tolson's or Mr. Hoover's
residence by FBI agents or former FBI agents after
Mr. Tolson's death. If agents of the FBI did go to
Mr. Hoover's or Mr. Tolson's residence to remove files,
please provide the Select Committee with a complete des-

Were any such documents copies or originals of documents
relating to the business of the FBI?' If so, please des-
cribe the subject matter of each such document. Also
indicate the individual within the FBI who has custody
over these files. Furthermore, I respectfully request on
behalf of the Select Committee that such files not be des-

notice.

During a conference with the Deputy Attorney General at
1:45 p.m. on 6/23/75, the Deputy Attorney General requested the
Bureau to prepare summaries of summaries previously prepared
concerning the official and confidential files retrieved from the office
suitė following Mr. Hoover's death. The Deputy described a notebook
containing 164 summaries that had been made available to the Attorney
General. He requested that the 164 summaries be used as the basis
for preparation of summaries that may be made available for review
by representatives of the Senate Select Committee in lieu of direct
Committee access to the original files. He said that names and
identifying data should be deleted from the file summaries in order to
protect personal privacy, but that the material prepared should serve
to explain the statement made by Attorney General Levi concerning his
review of the official and confidential files.
Mr. Adams instructed that this request should be conveyed to
Mr. Bassett and that the summaries should be prepared by the Inspection
Division. I telephonically advised Mr. Bassett and during a subsequent
conference between Mr. Adams, Mr. Bassett and me, procedures for
preparation of the summaries were agreed upon.
RECOMMENDATION:
The summaries prepared by the Inspection Division should be
burnished to Legal Counsel for transmission to the Deputy Attorney General.

Additional Requests, SSC (Amplification of
"May 14, and June 27, Requests).
15
Transmitted herewith are three additional requests from the
Senate Select Committee, two under date of July 8, and one dated
June 30, which I received yesterday.
The four-page, 21 item, statement of additional documenta-
tion requested in one of the July 8, letters, and the June 30, let-
ter raise a problem which pertains to "abuse" areas of the "notifi-
cation" letter of June 27. This issue is the subject of my previous
memo to you, and the considerations which are entailed, insofar as
witness testimony, should be, I think, observed here.
The second July 8, request is simply for Manual pages to be
made available.
Please arrange for the preparation of appropriate documentary
responses to the requests attached. In the event that there is a
serious problem with response to any of the itemized requests, early
advice to me of that fact would be appreciated, so that I can advise
the Committee and attempt to resolve the problem.
Please alert me to any third agency problems which may arise
with regard to any of these requests; in a cursory examination, no
such problem was patent to me. However, I realize that there may be
latent third agency issues, and I will appreciate your advice to this
effect.

Your letter of July 8, 1975, requesting, in a four page
addendum, additional materials for the Senate Select Committee's
inquiry, has been received. I have today referred it to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation with a request for the assembly
of appropriate documentary responses.

"
Your letter contains a reference, in paragraph 2, to "the
agreement to come forward..." I feel that it is important for me
to remind you that this "agreement to come forward... was the sub-
Ject of a discussion between us on July 2, 1975, at which time I
informed you that the Attorney General was considering a reply to
the reference to such "agreement to come forward..." set forth in.
the letter of June 27, 1975, by the Senate Select Committee.
It is our continued intention to be cooperative with the
Senate Select Committee, and we will, of course, move as expeditiously
as possible to prepare documents responsive to the requests of the
Committee. However, as I advised you on July 2, the FBI follows,
quite properly, a careful clearance procedure as to intelligence mate-
rials which are to be assembled for transmission to the Committee, or
for Committee access. This clearance procedure takes time, and
requires the undivided attention of Senior Bureau Executives. These
Executives are working at full capacity in attempts to meet the exist-
ing requests from the Committee and to carry out their other duties at

Dear Mr. O'Connor:
Pursuant to Section III. A. of the notification.
attached to the Committee's letter of June 27, 1975, I am
forwarding herewith an additional request for materials
which relate to this matter.
The specificity of this request is not, of
course, intended to limit in any way the agreement to come
forward with all relevant information and materials, includ-
ing documents, whether or not they have been brought to the
Committee's attention or have been specifically requested
by the Committee.
...
As Mr. Schwarz and I indicated in our meeting
with you a few days ago, there are still outstanding sev-
eral items relating to this matter which the Committee re-
quested some time ago. This request should in no way delay
.further the availability of the previously requested items,
and we would expect that individual items will be supplied
whenever they become separately ready for submission.

SUBJECT: SSC Notification of June 27; COINTELPRO
Attached is a request for further detailed information from
Senate Select Committee, regarding COINTELPRO, from Mr. Elliff dated
July 1, 1975.
Please note that this matter is considered and characterized
as an "abuse" (see page 21 of enclosures to SSC letter of June 27,
previously forwarded); accordingly; any Agent interview would be an
"abuse interview" subject to the strictures set forth in the "Outline
for Inquiry Procedures" referenced in the SSC letter of June 27.
Because of this, I feel we should discuss the procedures for inter-
view which may be sought under page 2, paragraph "Interviews" of
Mr. Elliff's attached letter. It may be that the matter should be
discussed with the Deputy Attorney General as well, after Mr. Levi
has responded to the SSC letter of June 27. A significant legal
problem may be presented by the compulsion of Agents' appearance.
Please also note the attached Departmental decision on the interpre-
tation of "demand" in 28 C.F.R., 16.21 et. seq. This decision will
bear on our resolution of the pending legal problem.
In the meantime, please arrange for the preparation of an
appropriate reply enclosing a collection of appropriate documentary
material responsive to this letter; I have acknowledged Mr. Elliff's
letter today (a copy of my letter is attached).

Dear Mr. Elliff: ་
Your letter dated July 1, 1975, was delivered to the Office

interviews. You should be aware, however, that the characteriza-

significantly alter arrangements for access to witnesses who are
present employees of this Department. We are studying the legal
problem presented, and will, in due course, advise you of our con-..

SUBJECT: Interpretation of "Demand", DATE/26/00 EX SP3 ALMEHL
28 C.F.R., § 16:21, et. seq. - Action Memorandum
The meaning of "demand" is not indicated, beyond subpoena, in
the C.F.R. sections indicated. This omission creates a need for an
interpretation, for purposes of uniform Department of Justice reaction.
Outlines for inquiry proceedings were agreed upon between the
White House and the Senate Select Committee on June 13, 1975, and a
copy of those procedures was furnished to the Department on June 16,
1975. Under those guidelines, there is a general undertaking by the
Committee to identify witnesses to the Agency a reasonable time before
the interviews occur. This general rule includes current and former
employees; certain exceptions (not clearly defined) are indicated in
the guidelines. The Committee is required to provide the witness with
a copy of the procedures, and "relevant waivers of secrecy oaths or
agreements for the purpose of this inquiry". The Committee is required
to give prior notice of an interview, generally, specifying: (a) sub-
ject area; (b) periods of employment; (c) the date set for the interview.
Since these structured procedures, taken with the rules of the
Subcommittee, may create a requirement of testimony upon witnesses, it
seems to me clear that the paragraphs of 28 C.F.R., § 16.21, et seq.,
which refer to "demand" should be interpreted to include any request
by any Committee staff member to interview any employee, former employee
or other person connected with the Department of Justice.
This interpretation requires certain action: (1) that the wit-
ness be authorized to speak under § 16.23 by an appropriate Department
Official; and, (2) that an appropriate Department Official be designated
I would think that the appropriate Department Official for the FBI shoul
be the Director of the FBI or the FBI General Counsel, in coordination
with this office.

during the week of July 14, 1975. The purpose is to
discuss matters relating to the Rockefeller Commission
report and the status of certain requests for documents.
The letter expresses a concern about the failure of the
Justice Department and FBI to report fully to the
Committee requests. Thus, we should be prepared to
discuss in detail each of the requests received to
date from the Committee and their dispositions.
Inspector John B. Hotis and Special Agent

We have received a letter from Clarence M. Kelley, Director
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, dated July 7, 1975,
requesting to meet with us for a discussion of certain
materials pertaining to the FBI which were compiled by the
Commission on CIA Activities Within the United States and
may now be in the possession of the Select Committee. The
Committee welcomes this opportunity for discussion with
Mr. Kelley of these and other matters of concern both to
the FBI and to the Committee. Our reply to Mr. Kelley is
addressed to you because we believe it is essential that
you participate in this meeting in order to arrive at a
mutual understanding among the Justice Department, the FBI,
and the Committee.
Prompt discussion is especially important because of the
Committee's concern about the status of certain requests
for documents. On May 14, 1975, the Committee wrote to you
requesting documents pertaining to a number of areas of in-
quiry. The status of the May 14 request was considered by
the full Committee on July 8, 1975. The Committee's review
of the responses to this request indicates that, although
certain documents have been supplied, others in areas of
the most vital concern to the Committee are still outstand-
ing. A summary of the outstanding items from the May 14
request is attached.

As has already been made clear to members of your staff,
the failure of the Justice Department and the FBI to
respond fully to the Committee's request has severely ham-
pered our investigative work. Since the Committee is now
receiving excellent cooperation from the White House and
other agencies on highly sensitive matters, and indeed
from the Justice Department and the FBI on assassination
matters, we are at a loss to understand what special diffi-
culties are presented by the May 14 request.
The Committee has concluded that these issues cannot ade-
quately be resolved by further staff discussions and,
accordingly, that the only responsible way to proceed is
for the Committee itself to take up the problem with you
and the Director of the FBI. Therefore, we are pleased
that FBI Director Kelley's request for a meeting gives us
an opportunity to invite you and Mr. Kelley to appear be-
fore the Committee in executive session during the week of
July 14, 1975. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss
the matters of concern to Mr. Kelley and the steps which
might be taken to expedite response to requests for docu-
ments essential to the Committee's inquiry.
The members of the Committee look forward to this meeting
as a way to resolve issues of common concern in a spirit
of comity between the Executive and Legislative Branches.
Sincerely,

"Use of the resources of the FBI to gather
political intelligence. Our review disclosed
a few documented instances in which the Bureau
at times during the course of an election
campaign was requested to provide -- and did
indeed provide information which could be
used as political intelligence information.
In one instance, this involved a check of FBI
files on the staff of a campaign opponent.
--
"Improper use of the FBI in connection with
the political process. In a few instances
recorded in Bureau files, an incumbent Presi-
dent caused the FBI to gather intelligence
relating to a political convention under cir-
cumstances that although cast in legitimate
law enforcement terms could-- and some would
say should have been suspected of being
politically motivated.
"Use of the FBI to report on certain activi-
ties of critics of an Administration's policies.
The FBI files document a few instances in which
an incumbent President caused the Bureau to
report on certain activities of Members of
Congress who were opposed to and critical of
his policies.
"Use of information in the FBI files to respond
to or discredit critics. Again, the Bureau
files document a very small number of instances
in which derogatory information legitimately
obtained by the Bureau was disseminated to
other members of the Executive Branch to enable
them to discredit their critics.
"Use of the FBI in connection with other legiti-
mate law enforcement activities. There was one
documented instance where the FBI was used to
conduct an inquiry for what might be described
as political purposes, relating to an investiga-
tion properly conducted by other Executive
Branch officials." (C.23.)

Response to the letter from the Chairman to the
Attorney General dated April 28, 1975, regarding
the so-called "Official and Confidential" files.
(A.9.) (The Justice Department's answer has not
been responsive. With respect to any so-called
"secret files" maintained within the FBI, includ-
ing the "official and confidential" and "personal
and confidential" files maintained by the executive
assistant to the FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover on
his behalf until the time of his death, the Com-
mittee seeks to establish the contents of such
files, the circumstances surrounding the transfer
of a portion of such files within the Bureau at
the time of Director Hoover's death, the transfer
of a portion of such files to Mr. Hoover's resi-
dence, the destruction of any such files, the
transfer of any such files from Mr. Hoover's resi-
dence, the use of information within such files,
and their relationship to the official investiga-
tive files of the FBI. The Committee desires all
information bearing on these matters, including
the results of any inquiries conducted within the
FBI and the Department of Justice.)
