(C) CUBAN INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES IN THE UNITED STATES - EFFORTS TO RECRUIT CUBAN REFUGEES TO GATHER INTELLIGENCE INFORMA- TION -- During recent months, a number of Cuban refugees residing in the United States have received unsolicited mimeographed letters which requested the addressee to cooperate with the Cuban Government by gathering information of an intelligence nature which the addressee was requested to furnish to the Cubans by means of secret-writing letter. All of the letters received by the refugees to date have been postmarked at New York City and the sender has utilized fictitious names although a number of the return addresses utilized actually exist. The above mineographed letter sets forth an accommodation address in Cuba to be utilized by the addressee as well as detailed information concerning the preparation and mailing of secret-writing letters to the accommodation address. In most cases, the recipients of these letters have recently been in contact with Cuban authorities regarding permission to visit Cuba or other matters requiring action by a Cuban Government agency. The FBI Laboratory has determined that all mimeographed letters received to date were prepared on the same mimeograph machine and investigation is being conducted in an effort to identify the person or persons responsible for this activity. Since it appears that efforts to recruit Cuban refugees for the purpose of gathering intelligence information on behalf of the Cuban Government may become widespread, the code name ''CUBREC" has been assigned and communications regarding investigation of the above-described activity should be sc captioned. Bureau file in this matter is 65-69402. Offices receiving information concerning the above-described activity should promptly bring this information to the attention of the Bureau and any pertinent material obtained should be forwarded to the FBI Laboratory for appropriate examination. 6-29-65 SAC LETTER NO. 65- 36 (D) SUBVERSIVE ORGANIZATION CHARACTERIZATION - PROGRESSIVE LABOR PARTY - PROGRESSIVE LABOR MOVEMENT -- SAC Letter 64-39 dated July 30, 1964, furnished the field with a characterization of the Progressive Labor Movement.

This document stated, in part, that RAM was officially organized in the Winter of 1963 by Afro-Americans who support the revolutionary objectives of Robert F, Williams, now residing in Cuba, and his concept of organized violence to achieve the liberation of the Afro-American people in the United States. This Manifesto disclosed that RAM had oriented its program to one of education and political revolution and the organization of a “black" political party with revolutionary objectives, having recognized the need for a "black revolution" that could and would seize power, RAM philosophy is described in this document as one of revolutionary nationalism, that is, one involving the struggles of the nonwhite races of the world against exploitation and enslavement by the white capitalist and imperialist nations. , Regarding Williams, it should be noted that on August 28, 1961, a Federal warrant was issued at Charlotte, North Carolina, charging him with Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution for the crime of kidnapping. Subsequent to the issuance of this warrant, Williams fled the United States to Cuba, where he now publishes a monthly newsletter entitled "The Crusader" from Havana, This source in September, 1964, advised RAM is dedicated to the overthrow of the capitalist system in the United States, by violence if necessary, and to its replacement by a socialistic system oriented toward the Chinese communist interpretation of Marxism-Leninism. RAM is entirely nonwhite in membership, clandestine in nature, and owes its primary allegiance to the "Bandung World," that is, the nonwhite races of the world rather than to any national entity, as such. 8-25-65 SAC LETTER NO, 65-47 -~ 12 - MW 55069 Doold: 32839525 Page 39

You are reminded that the DAMV - FR Statute (18 USC 35) covers not only aircraft. motor vehicles, and their facilities as mentioned in Chapter 2 of Title 18, but it also covers false reports relating to violations mentioned in Chapters 97 and 111 of Title 18. Chapter 97 prohibits certain acts in connection with railroads (Federal Train Wreck Statute). Chapter 111 contains numerous criminal provisions pertaining to shipping (Crime on the High Seas). The False Report Section of the DAMV Statute therefore includes all the various transportation facilities mentioned in Chapters 2, 97, and 111 of Title 18. You should note, for example, that placing a bomb or explosive on any vessel of the United States, including ships of the U. S. Navy and Coast Guard, is a violation as set forth in Chapter 111 .. (18 USC 2275).and a false report to bomb such ships would therefore be a violation of the DAMV - False Report Statute.

(F) SOVIET NONOFFICIAL VISITORS WHO COME INDIVIDUALLY TO THE UNITED STATES -- There has been an ever-increasing number of Soviet citizens who are traveling to the United States to visit relatives or friends. These individuals are granted B-2 visas. In almost all cases they apply for these visas through the American Embassy in Moscow. Occasionally they have applied at the American Embassy in Canada and in-the future it will be possible for them to apply for a visa at the American Embassy in Mexico or the American Embassies in Europe as well. Most Soviet nationals coming to the United States are subject to a system of travel restrictions which requires ‘them to notify the Department of State of intended travel plans 48 hours in advance and which closes about 25 per cent of the country to them. In 1962, individual Soviet tourists and exchange visitors were exempted from these regulations, but the Department of State retained a degree of control over their travel. Individual tourists were required to notify the Department of State of their travel plans outside the area specified in their visa. af . The Department of State has advised that a new reporting system has been developed. Henceforth, Embassies issuing visas to private Soviet visitors coming to the United States to visit relatives and friends will mark the visa of these visitors "Valid for travel to (first destination in U. S.) and within a 25 mile radius thereof. ‘Inform the local office United States Immigration and Naturalization Service of travel plans outside the area."' Holders of such visas will be informed that there is no restriction on their travel in the United States but that they are required to keep the Immigration and Naturalization Service District Office nearest them informed in advance of intended travel more than 25 miles from their first destination. These new travel regulations apply only to Soviet citizens coming to the United States. for the purpose of visiting friends or relatives.

AMTORG TRADING CORPORATION t Amtorg Trading Corporation, according to records of the New York County Clerk, is a New York corporation formed in 1924. It has acted since then as a buying and selling agency in the United States for most of the foreign trade organizations of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Since 1949, it has been registered with the United States Department of Justice pursuant to the provisions of the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, as amended , c Be DE LAS AMERICAS On May 1, 1967,. a source advised that the Casa de las Americas, an organization composed of pro-Fidel Castro and pro- communist individuals, formed in April, 1964, has moved its headquarters to the fourth floor, 876 Broadway, New York City, effective April 30, 1967. Source described this organization as a successor to the old Casa Cuba Club (CCC) with a changed name to avoid overt affiliation with Cuba. The CCC has been composed of persons belonging to the now defunct 26th of July Movement, a revolutionary organization founded and led by Fidel Castro, Prime Minister of Cuba, until its dissolution in 1962. A second source advised that the CCC, originally founded as a social club by New York area residents of Cuban extraction, was sympathetic to Castro during his struggle for power. Subsequent to January 1, 1959, as it became apparent that communism was the form of government in Cuba, the leaders of the 26th of July Movement assumed control of CCC and its membership declined. The first source above advised that Casa de las Americas is also ostensibly formed as a social club, but in effect it acts as a focal point for revolutionary peoples sympathetic to the Cuban government. Although it is not directly controlled by the Cuban Mission to the United Nations (CMUN), many Cuban personnel attend its functions and at least an indirect link with CMUN is present. Casa de las Americas has fund-raising. affairs and contributes money to the CMUN. Casa de las Americas also gives financial support to other revolutionary groups repre= senting countries other than Cuba. Through CMUN, various propaganda materials of a communist nature are found at Casa de las Americas. This same source also stated that some executive committee members, as well as general members of Casa de las Americas, are members of the Spanish Section of the Communist Party, USA. Source feels that although there is no direct link 8/21/67 SAC LETTER 67-50 ~6— MW 55069 Docld: 32989526 Page 62
between Casa de las Americas and the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), an indirect link does occur at Casa de las Americas in that it is used as a staging ground prior to entry into CPUSA. Further, source indicates that membership in Casa de las Americas prepares an excellent background for persons desiring to return to Cuba. This same source stated that although there exists in Cuba a social club called Casa de las Americas supported by the Cuban government, there appears to be no connection between the two and no reason to believe that the Casa de las Americas in New York was named after the one in Cuba.

MOVIMIENTO PRO-INDEPENDENCIA DE PUERTO RICO (PUERTO RICAN INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT) (MPIPR) 4 The MPIPR was organized in November, 1959, at Ponce, Puerto Rico, to work for the independence of Puerto Rico. It has an estimated membership of between 1,000 and 1,300 peopie with missions throughout the island of Puerto Rico, and in New York, New York; Chicago, Illinois; and Buffalo, New York, At the time the MPIPR was organized it was indicated that it did not advocate violence but would accept members who did. Juan Mari Bras, the founder and dominant leader of this organization, in a speech during March, 1964, threatened violence comparable to that in Algeria if Puerto Rico became a state within the United States. A source reported in 1966 that a leader of the MPIPR indicated that "the Revolution would soon begin" and another source advised that another official of this organization had attempted to obtain a number of automatic pistols. Articles praising Fidel Castro and the Cuban Government regularly appear in MPIPR publications, in 1961, the MPIPR adopted a resolution expressing 100 per cent approval of and solidarity with the Cuban revolution. It sent a delegation to the Tri-Continental Conference of African, Asian, and Latin American People, held in Havana, Cuba, during January, 1966, and it maintains a permanent delegate to the Secretariat located in Havana. The press of Puerto Rico has reported that the MPIPR has held numerous demonstrations protesting compulsory military service for Puerto Ricans and United States policy in Vietnam and the Dominican Republic. In December, 1966, the Governor of Puerto Rico signed into law a bill calling for a plebiscite on July 23, 1967, to determine the future political status of Puerto Rico. The press reported that this plebiscite has been denounced vociferously by the MPIPR as "an act of Yankee imperialism to maintain the colonial status of Puerto Rico." Juan Mari Bras stated that the MPIPR had asked the Cuban Government for "militant solidarity with our struggle, in all international forums to which Red Cuba has access."

ty MUSLIM GIRLS TRAINING rr rae uv On May 19, 1960, a source advised the Muslim Girls Training (MGT) is a group within the Nation Of Islam (NOI) and is composed of all female members of the NOI. The MGT is similar in structure to the Fruit of Islam (FOI), which is composed of male members of the NOI, in that the MGT has officers similar to military organizations to whom other fe- male members are accountable, MGT members receive instructions in homemaking, hygiene, calisthenics, and other subjects such as Muslim history, and the English language. There also exists a Junior MGT, which is composed of female members of the NOI who are between the ages of 15 and 19 and who are afforded military~type drill. Since 1957, various officers and "sisters" of the MGT have, at meetings of the MGT, used the term MGT so that it also means General Civilization Class. General Civilization Class refers to classes conducted within the MGT. The above refers to activities of the MGT at Muhammad's Temple of Islam No. 2, 5335 South Greenwood, Chicago, Illinois. . On May 4, 1967, another source advised that, in theory, the MGT exists in all Temples of the NOI and is patterned after the MGT at Muhammad's Temple of Islam No. 2, Chicago.

The NOI is an all-Negro organization which was originally organized in 1930 in Detroit, Michigan... Muhammad claims to have been selected by Allah, the Supreme Being, to lead the so-called Negro race out of slavery in the wilderness of North America by establishing an independent black nation in the United States. Members following Muhammad’s teachings and his interpretation of the "Koran" believe there is no such thing as a Negro; the so-called Negroes are slaves of the white race, referred to as “white devils," in the United States; and the white race, because of its exploitation of the so-called Negroes, must and will be destroyed in the approaching "War of Armageddon," In the past, officials and members of the NOI, including Muhammad, have refused to register under the provisions of the Selective Service Acts and have declared that members owe no allegiance to the United States. On May 5, 1958, the first source advised Muhammad had, upon advice of legal counsel, tempered his personal statements and instructions to his ministers concerning the principles of his organization in order to avoid possible prosecution by the United States Government; however, he did not indicate any fundamental changes in the teachings of his organization, ‘On May 2, 1966, a third source advised Muhammad had, in early July, 1958, decided to de-emphasize the religious as-~ pects of the teachings of Islam and to stress the economic benefits to be derived by those Negroes who joined the NOL. This policy change, according to Muhammad, would help him acquire additional followers and create more interest in his programs.

A second source advised on July 18, 1966, that the NCRMA was the outgrowth of an Ad Hoc Committee of Initiators, headed by Professor Clyde Miller of New York, who solicited Signatures to apetition to the President of the United States in 1962 which called for the repeal of the McCarran Act. The NCRMA held its formation meeting at Chicago on May 18, 1963; the 8/21/67 SAC LETTER 67-50 ~21- NW 55069 Doold: 32389528 Page 77
stated purpose of the committee is to seek repeal of the Internal Security Act of 1950, as amended. A third source advised on May 15, 1967, that the Communist Party (CP) interest in NCRMA had been to give it full support and approval and the CP took the position that the committee's composition must be extremely broad.and the Party's direct influence must be kept to a minimum. The CP believed the new committee would serve its purpose in fighting the McCarran Act alone and the CP had everything to gain by taking this position. Lillian Berman, NCRMA Executive Secretary, is not a CP member but knowingly accepts support and advice from the CP leadership on behalf of this committee. Berman moved from Chicago to New York, New York, in 1965, and continues to operate the committee from that city. Clyde Miller, according to the "Daily Worker™ issue of March 5, 1941, was a signer of a statement to the President defending the CP, The "Daily Worker" was an east coast communist daily newspaper which ceased publication January 13, 1958.

REVOLUTIONARY ACTION MOVEMENT On November 3, 1964, a source made available a docu- ment entitled "The Revolutionary Action Movement Manifesto," the document having been obtained by the source from an individual known to be a member of the Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM). This document stated, in part, that RAM was officially organized in the Winter of 1963 by Afro-Americans who support the revolutionary objectives of Robert F. Williams, then residing in Cuba, and his concept of organized violence to achieve the . liberation of the Afro-American people in the United States. This Manifesto disclosed that RAM had oriented its program to one of ~~ education and political revolution and the organization of a "black" political party with revolutionary objectives, having ‘ recognized the need for a "black revolution" that could and would — seize power. RAM philosophy is described in this document as one of revolutionary nationalism; that is, one involving the struggles . of the nonwhite races of the world against exploitation and 8/21/67.

enslavement by the white capitalist and imperialist nations. Regarding Williams, it should be noted that on August 28, 1961, a Federal warrant was issued at Charlotte, North Carolina, charging him with Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution for the crime of kidnapping. Subsequent to the issuance of this warrant, Williams fled the United States to Cuba, where he published a monthly newsletter entitled "The Crusader" from Havana. As of Decémber, 1966, Williams was residing in Peking, China. . This source, in September, 1964, advised RAM is dedicated to the overthrow of the capitalist system in the United States by violence, if necessary, and to its replacement by a socialistic system oriented toward the Chinese Communist interpretation of Marxism-Leninism. RAM is entirely nonwhite in membership, clandestine in nature, and owes its primary allegiance to.the "Bandung World"; that is, the nonwhite races of the world rather than to any national entity, as such. On November 16, 1964, a second source advised he learned recently from a RAM member that the organization began in Detroit, Michigan, largely under the impetus of Don Freeman, described as the "Father" of RAM and referred to as RAM's "Black Stalin." Freeman served as RAM Chairman, with Maxwell Stanford (now of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) serving as RAM Field Chairman. On May 12, 1967, a third source advised that the RAM still remains active; however, there is no formal headquarters, as such, for the RAM. The source advised that Maxwell Stanford of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is considered the leader of RAM and if anRAM headquarters ever existed, it would most likely be where Stanford resides.

"The UE is known as an "International Union!’ because companies of both the United States and Canada are under con- tract." "100 Things You Should Know About Communism and Labor," prepared and released by the Committee on Un-American Activities, United States House of Representatives, Washington, D., C., 1951, relates the following information: In 1944, the Committee on Un-American Activities found the "United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (CIO)" to be one of the unions which was described as having "Communist leader- ship....strongly entrenched." The “United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America™ was listed as one of the Unions which was expelled from the Congress of Industrial Organizations in 1950 because of its communist domination. The "Internal Security Annual Report for 1957, Report of the Subcommittee to Investigate the Administration of the Internal Security Act and other Internal Security Laws, of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate," on page 61, refers to UE as “one of the strongest Communist-controlled unions in America."

BOIS CLUBS OF AMERICA (DCA) A source advised that on October 26-27, 1963, a con- ference of members of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), including national functionaries, met in Chicago, Illinois, for the purpose of setting in motion forces for the establishment of a new national Marxist-oriented youth organization which would hunt for the most peaceful transition to socialism. The delegates were told that it would be reasonable to assume that the young socialists attracted into this new organization would eventually pass into the CP itseif. A second source has advised that the founding con- vention for the new youth organization was held from June 19-21, 1964, at 150 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California, at which time the name W. E. B. DuBois Clubs of America (DCA) was adopted.

The second source advised that in September, 1966, Franklin Alexander, DCA National Chairman, stated that the DCA is now in fact a functioning young communist league. Also, in September, 1966, Mike Zagarell, CPUSA Youth Director, stated that in Negro communities the Party still supported the plan-to build "left" socialist centers and to solidify the Party base through the DCA. The second source advised that in September, 1966, Daniel Rubin, CPUSA National Organizational Secretary, stated the Party believes the DCA should have'a working class outlook and be a mass organization favorable to socialism, socialist countries, and Marxism, and in April, 1967, Gus Hall, CPUSA General Secretary, indicated that the DCA primary emphasis should be on developing mass resistance to the draft. As of May, 1967, the headquarters of the DCA was located at ‘180 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois.

The Wohlforth group adhered to the views of British Trotskyists, with whom it secretiy consorted, and with certain co~thinkers in the International Committee of the Fourth International (FI), a world Trotskyist organization. It accused the leadership of adopting views of these within the FI who favored "bureaucratic" revolution over the genuine “revolutionary working-class outlook" of Leon Trotsky. Domesticalliy, the Wohlforth faction opposed SWP orientation toward student activity, feeling the Party should place major emphasis on trade unions and participation in the civil rights struggle. 8/21/67 SAC LETTER 67-50 ~35- Page 91
MW 35069 Doold: 32839525 Page 92 Although tolerated for some time, the Wohlforth group was expelled from the SWP in July, 1964. Following expulsion, the Wohlforth group formed the American Committee for the Fourth International and planned to work with other radical and militant organizations, concentrating on the civil rights movement, which to them is a basic "class" struggle. It plans to build a political party around a publi- cation and classes of instruction in Marxism. During November, 1966, the organization's name was changed to Workers League. Headquarters is 243 East 10th Street, New York, New York.

The source stated that this minority group, referred to as the Marcyites, after many years of program and policy differences on varied issues concerning tactics and interpretation of political events, split from the SWP on the grounds that the Party was liquidating itself by departing from the Marxist pre- cepts of Leon Trotsky and retreating from the fight for the world socialist revolution. The final issue which ultimately forced the split was the minority’s opposition to the SWP regroupment policy which involved cooperation with the Communist Party (CP) periphery- individuals characterized by the minority as petty—bourgeois. 8/21/67 SAC LETTER 67-50 -36-
NW 35069 Docld: 32959523 Page 93 The minority program, according to source, advocated unconditional defense of the Soviet Union and has as its goal the building of a revolutionary party with a complete proletarian orientation for the purpose of overthrowing capitalism in the United States and throughout the world. On May 12, 1960, the source advised that this minority group had chosen the name Workers World Party. On May 1, 1967, a second source advised that the Workers World Party, which maintains headquarters at 46 West 21st Street, New York City, supports the People’s Republic of China in its ideological dispute with the Soviet Union.

This declaration stated that the YSA recognizes the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) as the only existing political leadership on class struggle principles, and that the supporters of the YS have come into basic political solidarity with the SWP on the principles of revolutionary socialism. On March 10, 1967, a source advised that the YSA was formed during 1957, by youth of various left socialist tendencies, particularly members and followers of the SWP. The source further advised that the YSA has recently become more open about admitting that it is the youth group of the SWP and that an S¥P representative has publicly stated that the YSA is the SWP*s youth group.

SAC LETTER 67-63 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION In Reply, Please Refer to WASHINGTON, D.C. 20535 ' File No. _ October 24, 1967 (AVARREST AND ARRAIGNMENT -- Thé Department of Justice long has held and expressed the view that the showing of probable cause necessary at a preliminary hearing can be made by hearsay evidence. This means that if.an Agent arrests the subject in one place and the subject is then taken to a different place for a preliminary hearing, it is not necessary for the arresting Agent to travel to the place of hearing to give direct testimony on the facts of probable cause. His testimony can be given, instead, by an Agent assigned to the city in which the hearing is held. The latter Agent simply takes the official reports submitted by the arresting Agent in the form of reports, teletypes, airtels, et cetera, and testifies to the facts of probable cause shown in those communications. Despite the position taken by the Department of Justice, we continue to encounter cases in which the United States Commissioner refuses to accept hearsay evidence at the preliminary hearing and insists upon the direct testimony of the Agent, however distant, who learned the facts of probable cause from his own investigation. The result is that the latter Agent must be transported from his city of assignment to the city of preliminary hearing at whatever cost is required in time and money. On September 29, 1967, the Department sent a form memorandum to all United States Attorneys concerning the problem discussed above. The Department asks for answers to specific questions, and obviously is interested in the extent to which Commissioners permit hearsay evidence to be used in establishing probable cause. Should you have any recent cases in which a Commissioner within yourterritory has insisted upon an Agent being brought in from another city to snow probable cause at a preliminary hearing, rather than allow probable cause to be shown by the hearsay testimony of an Agent assigned locally, you should promptly advise the United States Attorney so that he may call these cases to the attention of the Department. Also bring these same cases to the attention of the Bureau and advise on a continuing basis of future cases in which the Commissioner refuses to accept hearsay testimony of an Agent assigned locally. Advise all investigative personnel. NW 55069 Docld: 32989526 Page 95
+ (8) UNIFORM CRIME REPORTS -- In their concernjover the crime ‘ problem: and the administration of criminal justice, many states are now recognizing the need to establish centralized state systems of criminal Statistics. The pending Federal crime legislation calls for the establish- ment of planning units at state level to implement the provisions of the crime legislation, particularly financial assistance. Without a collection of statistical information--police, courts and corrections--states are in no position to plan nor to make intelligent decisions affecting the criminal justice system. The FBI has administered the Uniform Crime-Reporting Program since 1930. It is the only nationwide collection of crime data. There are no national court statistics or complete correctional statistics on a national basis. Recommendations have been made, particularly by the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice, fo implement a national collection from the courts and corrections. The FBI's experience of operating a national program of data collection is, therefore, unique. In my Preface to Uniform Crime Reports - 1966, I pointed out very clearly the need for the states to develop central reporting systems. The FBI stands ready to assist state agencies in setting up procedures, methods and policies in connection with crime reporting programs. This training and the sharing of knowledge, which the FBI has gained from experience, have been afforded to state agency representatives both here at the Seat of Government, as well as in the field. You will be kept informed as to the progress of the pending legislation in this area, which will accelerate the growth of state systems. Contacts are to be established and maintained at the state level so that appropriate state authorities are fully aware of the FBI's desire to render assistance. In your contacts with local police agencies, you should stress the necessity of maintaining records for administrative and wz 10-24-67 SAC LETTER 67-63 -2- NW 35069 Docld: 32909528 Page 96
| investigative use. You should encourage all police agencies which are not doing so to submit crime reports to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program. Lists identifying agencies not reporting to the Uniform Crime Reporting Program have been forwarded to the appropriate Special Agent in Charge. In your next contacts with the heads of these agencies they should be urged to contribute crime reports to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program.

) (>) RIOTS AND DISTURBANCES -- Although the season for violent racial turmoil, which appears to have become a summer phenomenon, may be over there is no guarantee that serious outbreaks of racial violence will not occur in the fall and winter months. This is particularly true when militant Negro agitators of the H. Rap Brown variety continue to go about the country fanning the fires of racial discord and animosity. It is essential, therefore, that there be no-slackening in our coverage of the racial situation through racial, criminal, and security informants, sources, and in-depth liaison with law enforcement officials so that we will be completely knowledgeable of trouble spots and any indications of outbreaks of violence. For your information, the Department of Justice by communication dated October 3, 1967, advised all United States Attorneys that the Department will retain the Communications Center established by it at the beginning of the summer to receive current reports of civil disturbances and disorders from all areas ona 24- hour basis. The Department requested the United States Attorneys to continue reporting to the Communications Center all relevant information relating to possible civil disturbances in their communities. You should make certain that your coverage of possible civil disturbance situations continues to be such that the Bureau will be kept fully advised of all pertinent developments by the most expeditious means warranted. This is absolutely essential in order that the Bureau may answer.any inquiries received and carry out its racial intelligence dissemination responsibilities to the Department and other interested Government agencies on a timely basis.
