Answer: Yes Question: A. How many entries have been accomplished per year? Domestic Subversive and White Hate Groups At least fourteen domestic subversive targets were the subject of at least 238 entries from 1942 to April, 1968. At least three domestic subversive targets were the subject of numerous entries from October, 1952, to June, 1966. One white hate group was the target of an entry in March, 1966. Foreign Intelligence Targets During the period 1957 to 1967, surreptitious entry was used against at least eleven foreign intelligence targets. Since 1967, entries were made into the residences of six hostile intelligence service agents, and into the residence and office of a leader of a foreign-based terrorist organization. Foreign Establishments From February, 1954, to January, 1967, 133 entries were made against 37 different foreign establishments. Question: B. What were the purposes of the entries? Domestic Subversive and White Hate Groups and financial information, and membership lists and monthly reports of target organizations. |
AW 55077) Bocld:32989554 Page 52 Foreign Intelligence Targets To obtain information on such espionage paraphernalia as radio and photographic equipment, secret writing materials, and fraudulent identification papers. Foreign Establishments To obtain cryptographic materials necessary for the National Security Agency (NSA) to fulfill its communications intelligence (COMINT) target requirements. e Question: C. Who approved the entries? Domestic Subversive and White Hate Groups Foreign Intelligence Targets ' When a Special Agent in Charge (SAC) considered, the technique justified and necessary a recommendation would be made to FBI Headquarters to the appropriate Assistant Director. A memorandum would be prepared for approval of Director Hoover or Mr. Tolson, the Associate Director. Foreign Establishments A request would be made of the FBI by NSA, whereupon a a communication would be sent to the appropriate FBI field. office wherein was located the target establishment. If the field office indicated an entry could be conducted with full security, FBIHQ would be so advised. We have been unable to locate documentation showing | the approving authority for these entries; however, the , significance and sensitivity of these matters indicates approval was made on a high level at FBIHQ. . SY Question: D. Upon what authority were the entries conducted? . Domestic Subversive and White Hate Groups Foreign intelligence Targets Surreptitious entries were conducted upon authority o£ FBIHQ.
Foreign Establishments Surreptitious entries were conducted upon authority of FBIHO at the request of NSA and under guidance of National Security Council Intelligence Directive #9 (NSCID #9), which directive was superseded by NSCID #6. Question E. When, if ever, was the practice discontinued? Domestic Subversive and White Hate Groups In July, 1966, Director Hoover ordered the technique of surreptitious entry discontinued. Mr. Hoover reaffirmed his position against the practice in January, 1967. Review of our records shows that thereafter only one entry was conducted on April 2, 1968. Foreign Intelligence Targets In July, 1966, Director Hoover ordered the technique of surreptitious entry discontinued. Mr. Hoover reaffirmed his position against the practice in January, 1967. Review of our records shows the last entry was conducted in August, 1974, . Foreign Establishments In July, 1966, Director Hoover ordered the technique of surreptitious entry discontinued. In September, 1966, Mr. Hoover reconsidered the practice and approved use of the technique. In January, 1967, Mr. Hoover reaffirmed his position against surreptitious entries and discontinued the practice. | ae 55077 Docld:329899534 Page 53
a re we wn . - a MN ” Q. Does the FBI disseminate information it has obtained by the use of a search including electronic sutveillance to other Federal agencies? Tf so, what agencies and under what standards are decisions made as to what infoxmation should be disseminated? RESPONSE. Yes, Information which has been obtained by use of a search, both those based on a warrant and those not based on warrant including electronica surveillance is disseminated to other Federal agencies. The Manual of Rules and Regulations (MRR) and the Manual of Instructions (MOT) are the source of FBI policy instructions relative to the dissemination of information which comes inte the possession of the FBI. The MRR Part If, Section 5, states that "Dissemination is ofdinarily restricted to Federal agencies in the Executive Branch." In fact dis~ semination to such agencies comprises the vast majority of information disseminated. Dependent however on the exigencies of the situation information in certain instances may be dis- seminated beyond Exeoutive Branch agencies. Thus the MRR requires that where there is a threat to life, interested law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction concerning the threat must be advised as well as the intended victim. So also the MOT Part, Section 23, contains instructions which require that the FBI inmediately notify local law enforcement con- cerning khomb threats, With regard to the standards employed in determining which information merits dissemination the MRR Part II, Section 5, establishes a backdrop against which and within which dissemination is made. This section notes that "the proper utilization of information received by the Bureau, whether through investigation or otherwise is foremost among eur responsibilitiés. Such information may be of vital in- terest to another Government agency and/or local law enforce~ ment. » tn all matters relating to dissemination, good judggnent and common sense should prevail. It is not the urdau policy to withhold from dissemination vital and impor- Assoc. Dir pant information to which other agencies, including local Dep. AD Adm. LAW enforcement, are justifiably entitled; however good Der. Dw. Judgement and common sense dictated that the need to dissemi~ Asst nate! must be both vital and important and within the scope of Comp. Syst. PY @SERE requirements to do so. There must be no indiserini~ Ext Affers —nake of arbitrary dissemination," Files & Com. Gen. Inv. ___.. Ident. Inspection Intell. Laboratory Plan. & Eval. — Spec. Inv. ——— pete Training Legal Coun.

TI have advised Mr. Mintz that this letter fairly and accurately reflects both my understanding of the AG's policy, and my recent coriversation with the SSC staff in the implementation of that policy. Mr. Mintz has asked that the letter be delayed until Mr. Kelley has an oppor- tunity to consider it; I have delayed sending the letter for that reason, but feel it should go out today, since it simply confirms a prior position.

“ OS _- THE GAINESVILLE 3 There is a conspiracy underway in cur country, It is a cynical attempt by a small-group of men to advance their own interests+ and the interests of their backers~ by a deliberate subversion of the American political process, Bit by bit, it-is becoming knowr. The pattern is emerging. It's core is Watergate, but it spans all of Nixon's time in office and involves people from coast to coast. Now it will focus in Gainesville, Florida,’ °On July 17th, the government will start the trial of the Gainesville 8 on charges of conspiring to violentiy discupt the 1972 Repub lican National Convention. All are members of Vietnam Era Veterans Against the War/Winter Soldier Organization. Sever of them served honorably in Vietnam, They were corpsmen, door gunners, artillery FO's, tank ‘crewmen and intelligence specialists. One was an officer. They were indicted for doing no more than seeking to ¢212 the truth about what réally Went on in Vietnam~ truth the government is determined to suppress. Here are the facts behind the trial of the Gainesville 8: “BACT~ James McCord's recent penate testimony reveals a that the government is attempting to portray VVAW/ WSO as a violence~prone : group of dangerous radicals, By this, they seek to ‘justify! the Watergate ~~ break-in and the rest of their political espionage. tf VVAW is dangerous, it \ cane " ds because the truth is . A NN dangerous, : . . Deed 4, . . ‘Now; why cain’t ALE you yong péopis show “RACT~ The government's : that. wonderful enthucioem? :..’ case rests on the ; .testimony of one William . , Lemmer, an ex-paratrooper with severe psychiatric problems. He is just as much a casualty of the war as if he had been struck by a bullet. “Knowing of his problems, the FBI tracked him down, set him up to be “busted and then turned him against his brothers. The FBI skillfully played on his paranoia and nightmares to turn him into both an informer and a provacateur, Most of the violence mentioned in the indictments Was proposed by Lemmer and rejected by the defendants, FACT~ Pablo Manuel Fernandez, an associate of two of the Watergate criminals, approached some of the Gainseville vets and offered to sell them weapons, At the time, he was on the payroll of the Miami police and the FRI, Fernandez was told that the vets would be used for the purpose of “embarrassing the Democrats." One of the heaviest counts the Gainesville brothers face is a charge of attempting to acquire 50% .. weapons based on this incident, ; S5077° Docld:329899534 Page 62 - ! ~ 4
FACT+ The federal prosecution team in the trial is led by Guy Goodwin. He personally handled the.Chicago and Harrisburg conspiracy cases. He works in the Justice Department's Internal Security Division~ the heart of Nixon's dirty tricks-activity. When the indictments were prepared, his: boss was Asst. Attorney General..Robert Mardian, a right~wing fanatic who, even J. Edgar Hoover distrusted, Shortly after that, Mardian took a position on:.the Committee to Re-elect the President under his friend - John Mitchell, FACT- The government deliberately tried to push VVAW/Winter Soldier ~ into violence during the conventions. Yet, our demonstrations there~ as all of our activities~ were marked by a. Spirit of discipline and unity. We stand on our record as a non-violent anti-war group. FACT~ Perhaps the most outrageous aspect of the government's Gaines~ ville case is the attempt to make the public believe that a small group of anti-war veterans would attack the Miami police, the Florida State Highway Patrol, the National Guard, the 82nd Airborne Division and the Marines with slingshots, crossbows and fried marbles. Rarely has the government's contempt for. the intelligence of the American people been so clearly shown, In order for the government to effectively ‘disrupt the anti-war movement, it was not essential for them to win in court. The conspiracy laws. make it possible for them to charge ‘people when no crimes have actually been committed. The government has ,cynically used these laws to discredit their political opposition, to tie them up in lengthy and complex court proceedings, and to create. an atmosphere of paranoia in the country. Even when acquitted, defendants are kept from doing ‘more important work and their supporters are tied up in fund-raising and defense work, Whatever the verdict, the government has already accom- plished this with the Gainesville 8. This case is different, however, Since the Watergate disclosures, Nixon's cronies will fight like cor- nered rats to get a conviction in order to vindicate themselves and - to justify their subversion and distortion of justice, They cannot be’ allowed to continue their lies and deceptions, , What can be done? A local defense effort ts underway, In addition, sthere will be a week of nationally-aimed demonstrations in Gainesville the week the trial starts. Funds and assistance are needed. If you can heip, contact the VVAW/Winter Soldier storefront at 363 Connecticut -St,., or send donations to P.O, Box 902 Ellicott Station, Buffalo 14205, Now is not the time for cynicism or apathy. Gainesville may Well be the most important conspiracy case yet to be tried. Join the people's conspiracy for the Gainesville 8 and commit the crime of spreading the truth ee a
