As a general rule, it should be possible for these to be executed currently as the Agent pursues his daily work. Exceptions to this might be warranted where the Agent must give precedence to a fast-moving case. In any event, however, the Bureau insists that whenever these reports are executed they must be completely reconcilable and consistent with all other records ,against which they might be checked.

| a ‘ * s t (gz) SELECTIVE SERVICE ACT - 1948 ~ DELINQUENT CITIZENS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES -- On February 18, 1963, the United States Supreme Court considered jointly Kennedy vs. Mendoza-Martinez and -Rusk vs. - Cort and handed down a written decision (5-4) declaring as uncon- stitutional those sections of the Nationality Act of 1940 and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 providing for the expatriation of citizens who leave or remain outside the United States to avoid military service in time of war or national emergency. Francisco Mendoza-Martinez was born in California of . Mexican extraction. In 1942 he fled to Mexico, a country that also considered him a national. He returned in 1946 and in 1947 he was convicted, sentenced and served one year and one day for violation of the Selective Service Act of 1940. Subsequently the U. S. Govern- ment determined his flight to Mexico to avoid military service in time of war effected his expatriation as of the date in 1944 that Section 401 (j) was added to the Nationality Act of 1940 (Public Law 431, 78th Congress) enacted as Section 801 (j), Title 8, U. S. Code. As a result of a deportation hearing he was ordered deported on September 11, 1953. A series of appeals culminated in the Supreme Court decision of February 18, 1963, which affirmed the ruling of U. S. District Court, Southern District of California, Northern Division, that Section #01 (j) was unconstitutional. Joseph Henry Cort, a medical doctor, born December 27, 1927, at Boston, Massachusetts, registered for Selective Service May 25, 1951, and departed for England in June, 1951. He appiied for.political asylum in England claiming he faced loss of citizenship and prison if he returned to the United States. Political asylum in England denied, he then accepted asylum from Czechoslovakia ‘where he continues to reside. Cort was indicted by Federal Grand Jury on December 17, 1954, for failure to report for induction in violation of Title 50 (App), 462 and 12 (a). Warrant issued December 18, 1954, is still outstanding. In February, 1960, State Department affirmed a previous administrative decision that Cort expatriated himself under provisions of Section 349 (a) (10), Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 ‘Public Law 414, 82nd Congress), enacted as Section 1481 (a) (i0), Title 8, U. 8. Code. A series of appeals made by Cort culminated in the Supreme Court decision February 18, 1963, which affirmed the ruling of the U. S.° District Court for the District of Columbia that this section is unconstitutional. The Department is being requested to advise what effect the Supreme Court decision will have on the investigation and prosecution of Selective Service violations.

In this article he advocates legalizing various vices on which organized crime prospers so that law enforcement can concentrate more on combating organized crime in the labor or management fields. He proposes legalized gambling, prostitution, homosexual relations between consenting adults in private, the use of drugs under medical care and the reduction of liquor taxes.

(E) NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY ACT MATTERS -- The Fraud Section, Criminal Division, Department of Justice, in an attempt to induce more vigorous action by U. S. Attorneys as regards prosecution of vio- lations of the National Bankruptcy Act (NBA) is closely reviewing all Bureau NBA reports with particular attention being given to those wherein the U. S. Attorney declines prosecution. In connection therewith the Department has adopted a form letter addressed to the U. S. Attorney and signed by Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division, which states in part: "Tt is our opinion that the declination as set forth in the said FBI report does not conform to the Bankruptcy Section of the United States Attorneys! Manual, Title II, page 61. This section requires that in declining prosecution in bankruptcy matters that cogent and reasonably detailed reasons for such declination together with specific reference to the facts of the case shall be reported to the Attorney General (1) by report to the FBI or (2) by letter addressed to the Criminal Division, Department of Justice.” In keeping with the foregoing, it is imperative that in NBA cases wherein the U.

This type of gambling wheel contains a series of numbers, which numbers correspond to a board on which a sum of money is placed on a particular number by the participant or customer. After the wheel is spun and stops on a particular number, the corresponding number on the board determines the winner. The winner, in turn, receives money or merchandise. os 6/25/63 ‘SAC LETTER NO. 63-30 ~ 4. MW 55069 Doold: 32899525 Page 365

| HW 35069 Docld: 329039528 Page 373 ~ {E) COMMUNIST PARTY, USA - NEGRO QUESTION - COMMUNIST INFLUENCE IN RACIAL MATTERS -- The history of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), is replete with its attempts to exploit, influence and recruit the Negro. The March on Washington, August 28, 1963, was a striking example as Party leaders early put into motion efforts to accrue gains for the CPUSA from the March. The presence at the March of around 200 Party members, ranging from several national functionaries headed by CPUSA General Secretary Gus Hall to many rank-and-file members, is clear indication of the Party's favorite target (the Negro) today. All indications are that the March was not the “end of the line" and that the Party will step up its efforts to exploit racial unrest and in every possible way claim credit for itself relating to any "gains" achieved by the Negro. A clear-cut indication of the Party's designs is revealed in secret information obtained from a most sensitive source that the Party plans to hold a highly secretive leadership meeting in November, 1963, which will deal primarily with the Negro situation. The Party has closely guarded plans for Gus Hall to undertake a "barnstorming" trip through key areas of the country to meet Party people and thus better prepare himself for the November meeting. In order for the Bureau to cope with the Party's efforts -‘and thus fulfill our responsibilities in the security field, it is necessary that we at once intensify our coverage of communist influence on the Negro. Fullest consideration should be given to the use of all possible investigative techniques in the investigation of the CPUSA, those communist fronts through which the Party channels its influence, and the many individual Party members and dupes. There is also an urgent need for-imaginative and aggressive tactics to be utilized through our Counterintelligence Program for the purpose of attempting to neutralize or disrupt the Party's activities in the Negro field. Because of the Bureau's responsibility for timely dissemination of pertinent information to the Department and other interested agencies, it is more than ever necessary that all facets of this matter receive prompt handling. - ; Because of the Party's intensified efforts to render in- fluence in racial matters, tne Bureau is closing its subfile 100-3-75 relating to CPUSA - Negro Question. All information to be reported ‘relating to the Negro question, as well as communist influence in racial matters, should be hereafter reported in Bureau file 100-3-116 relating to CPUSA, Negro Question - Communist Influence in Racial Matters.- This instruction as to the administrative handling of this matter is effective immediately and should be followed in the 10/1/63 SAC LETTER NO. 63-50 ~3-

The following offices should submit to the Bureau, by letter under above caption due 30 days from date of this SAC Letter, an analysis of their current coverage of communist activities in the Negro field plus details of their plans for intensifying such coverage: Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, Newark, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Francisco and Seattle. Also, those 16 offices which are participating in the Counter- intelligence Program on a continuing basis should include in their next monthly letters due at the Bureau by October 15, 1963, any plans they may have to neutralize or disrupt any Party activities in the Negro field. Such information should be set out under the category "Possible Counterintelligence Activity." After submission of the October. letter, all offices will remain alert for future possible Situations involving the Party and the Negro which have disruptive potential and submit them to the Bureau under the Counterintelligence Program caption. 10/1/63 : ; SAC LETTER NO. 63-50 : { (F) SUBVERSIVE ORGANIZATION CHARACTERIZATION - INTERNAL SECURITY - SAC Letter 63-39 dated August 6, 1963, provided a subversive organi- zation characterization for the Progressive Labor Movement.

He read a statement at this con- ference setting forth their intention to form a new Marxist-Leninist Party in the United States. Rosen stated that a more formal organization was necessary, one .which would provide a framework for 10/1/63 SAC LETTER NO. 63-50 - 4 - ; HW 55069 Docld: 32589528 Page 374
all who wanted to join in a united effort to build an American vanguard. The functions of this new organization are to consolidate all existing forces around Progressive Labor and organize additional forces; expand and improve political activities; win additional forces to an outlook of Marxism-Leninism and increase the open advocacy of socialism; develop a significant Marxist-Leninist program for the new party; and organize a collective organization of leaders and members. "The Worker," an east coast communist newspaper, issue of January 7, 1962, page 10, colum 3, reported the expulsion of Milton Rosen, former labor secretary of the New York State Communist Party, from the Communist Party, USA. A second and third source advised in February, 1963, that this new Marxist-Leninist Party had not yet been organized on a formal basis but that Progressive Labor groups had been formed in several localities in line with proposals of Milton Rosen. The sources advised as of February, 1963, that the leaders of this group - were referring to it as the Progressive Labor Movement. The “Amsterdam News," a daily New York City newspaper, dated July 27, 1963, page 22, set forth that the "Progressive Labor Party is a new political formation based on Progressive Labor Movement, a Socialist organization with groups in all parts of the United States. The organization publishes a monthly magazine called Progressive Labor." The July-August, 1963, issue of Progressive Labor" set forth that it is published monthly by Progressive Labor Company, G.P.0.

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 América by establishing an independent black nation in the United States. Members following Muhammad's teaching and his interpretation of the "Koran" believe there is no such thing as a Negro} that the so-called Negroes are slaves of the white race, referred to'as "white devils," in the’ United States; and that 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, in- eluding 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 17, 1961, a third source advised: Muhammad had, early in July, 1958, decided to de-emphasize the religious aspects of the teachings of Islam and to stress the economic benefits to be derived by those Negroes who joined the NOI. This policy change, according to Muhammad, would help him acquire additional followers and create more interest in his programs.

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 female members are account- able. 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.

Frank Wilkinson is the Field Representative of the National Committee to Abolish the Un-American Activities Com- mittee. According to the source, Wilkinson periodically confers with Dorothy Healey, Chairman, Southern California District Communist Party, and is in close touch with other leading com- munist functionaries in the Los Angeles area.

av ‘ /~ RUSSKY GOLOS PUBLISHING CORPORATION A source advised on April 27, 1961, that "Russky Golos" is a Russian language newspaper which has consistently followed the Communist Party (CP) line and supports the same issues as the CPUSA. It is published by the Russky Golos Publishing Corporation at 130 East 16th Street, New York City. It was in- corporated in the State of New York on January 11, 1917. The source said that "Russky Golos" was formerly the organ of the "Russian Section" of the International Workers Order (Iwo). Since the dissolution of the IWO by the New York Courts in 1954, the “Russian Section" is no longer known as such, but has been organized into Russian Cultural and Aid Society groups which continue to support "Russky Golos" financially and look on "Russky Golos" as the organ of these groups.

~ (F);. NATIONALITY GROUP COVERAGE - CUBA -~ On February 13, 1961, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) communicated with all of its Regional Offices. It expressed the opinion that aliens and naturalized citizens currently active in the July 26th Movement or related organizations whose activities may be in furtherance of or dedicated to the cause of Fidel Castro are subject to INS investigative jurisdiction, after clearance with the FBI, to determine amenability to INS proceedings under specified sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Each field office should assure that all pertinent data relating to such individuals is referred on a continuing basis to the appropriate local office of INS in order that action by INS looking toward possible exclusion, deportation, expatriation or denaturalization may be properly considered. You will note that INS investigative action in these matters requires specific clearance with the FBI. In view of INS objectives and in view of the tense Cuban situation clearance should be granted upon request unless INS investigation of a particular individual would definitely interfere with a pending investigation or jeopardize your own interests in an individual. When clearance for INS investigation is not granted the Bureau should be advised promptly by airtel under the caption of the individual case of the denial and the reasons therefor. Any pending action which prompts the denial should be expedited in order that clearance can be granted INS as soon as practical. When granting clearance for INS investigative action be certain that arrangements are effected whereby you will be advised by INS of pertinent data developed and of any proceedings instituted regarding subjects of interest to your office. In one local office of INS the INS instructions were interpreted to call for an investigation of the July 26th Movement organization. This interpretation was incorrect. You will recognize, however, that some local offices of INS, in order to implement their instructions, may request data regarding the July 26th Movement and other organizations supporting the Castro cause. Pertinent data should be supplied. Any problems experienced by field offices in connection with INS activities in this regard should be brought to the attention of the Bureau promptly.

It was explained that, for the most part, this restriction was due to the preponder- ance of EGIS efforts being directed against West Germany and partly due to a lack of confidence on the part of the Soviets in East German efforts both from a political reliability and capability standpoint. In the recent past, CIA has now received indications which lead it to believe the Soviets have increased confidence in EGIS and are encouraging it to extend operations worldwide. Although the preponderance of EGIS activities will possibly continue to be directed against West Germany, EGIS now has the capability and Soviet approval to direct activities against the Western Hemisphere. 7/25/61 SAC LETTER NO. 61-39 "ae Be : NW 55069 Docld:32999528 Page 401

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 precepts 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. The minority program, according to the source, advocates the 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.

(C) IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE - OCCUPATIONAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX ~ IMMIGRANTS AND REPATRIATES FROM USSR: AND SATELLITE COUNTRIES -- Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has now begun to maintain an occupational and geographical index for aliens who have recently arrived in the United States. Bach alien entering the United States for permanent residence and each alien applying for naturalization is requested to fill out a card setting forth his occupation and previous residence in his native country. Thus far, there are a very small number of cards for certain countries. The index cards do not show the alien's United States address and it will, therefore, be necessary to check at the local INS office where the alien's file is maintained to obtain his last known address. This index may be of some assistance to the Bureau, particularly in investigations of immigrants and repatriates under Section 105E, Manual of In- structions, since it may be possible to locate an individual in the United States who was acquainted with a particular subject in a Soviet-bloc country. Personnel limitations at INS, how- ever, will require that this index be utilized on a selective basis. It should be used only in cases which cannot be resolved by other investigation. In immigrant and repatriate cases if, following interview of the subject, no conclusion can be reached as to whether he may have been given an intelligence assignment, consideration should be given to use of the index to attempt to locate an individual who may be able to verify or refute the alleged background of subject or statements made by him. ‘ “Leads to check this index should be set out by the office of origin for WFO and sufficient information should be included to show the relative importance of the information desired.

(B) SECURITY INFORMANTS -- A series of five two-day con- ferences in the field on the developing and handling of security informants was recently completed. These con- ferences were held in the Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Philadelphia and New York Offices, with 107 selected Special Agents from all offices except Anchorage, Honolulu and San Juan participating. The results of these conferences are set forth herein containing changes in procedure effective immediately. These changes were recommended by the conferences. ' USE OF CURRENT INFORMANT TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL HIGH-LEVEL COVERAGE IN THE COMMUNIST PARTY USA In order to insure continuation of high-level informant coverage in the CPUSA, all offices having informants on a district level or higher should consider utilizing one or more of such informants to bring along new informants in the Party. This will be accomplished through the cooperation of the high-level informant who will be told that he will be contacted by another informant. The new informant will not know the individual he is contacting is an FBI informant. The high-level informant will then introduce the new informant to Party functionaries, et cetera, eventually working him into top Party activity. Through this plan the CP leadership will grow to trust the new informant and in a relatively short time we should be able to continue our high-level coverage in the event anything should happen to our current top informant. Until that time we will also have the services of the new informant who will be assisting the high-level informant in the Party. This plan has been informally discussed with several top-level informants who have stated it can be accomplished without jeopardizing their positions. Bureau authority should be obtained before discussing this plan with any informant and details of any proposed operation should be set forth in a letter to the Bureau with appropriate recommendations, LONG-RANGE PROGRAM TO DEVELOP HIGH-LEVEL INFORMANT COVERAGE We have live informant coverage on high levels in the CPUSA at the present time, but we should plan now for the future when our present informants through unforeseen circum- stances may no longer be able to furnish the assistance which they are now rendering.

CP members or other subversive individuals, Since we are planning for the future, we should consider selecting as potential informants individuals who possess the qualifications for future leadership and pick such prospects not so much from the ranks of the CP or related subversive activity, but from the college and post-graduate levels. Since the majority of communist activity is concentrated in large metropolitan areas such as New York City, that office should begin a careful selection of college students or recent graduates of colleges. in New York having active student organizations made up of individuals of radical tendencies. Selection of prospects should be based on above-average intelligence and qualities of leadership which would permit them to advance to the top of the CPUSA, A very limited number of potentials will be involved in this project and each cooperative individual. will be thoroughly checked. Payments will be made commensurate with the individual's potential and compensation will be increased as he progresses in the Party. On a long-range basis such an individual will achieve a top position in the CPUSA. The New York Office is instructed to open a control file for this project and begin selecting individuals who should be considered under this plan. Each prospect should be investigated in accordance with Section 107 of the Manual of Instructions, and the Bureau will consider in each case whether approval should be given to attempt development under this long-range plan. YOUTH PROGRAM OF THE CPUSA At the 17th National Convention of the CPUSA held in New York City December 12-14, 1959, the CPUSA set up a program which was designed to produce a communist youth organization in the United States. The Party implemented this program by naming Daniel Mortimer Rubin as National Secretary for Youth, and Rubin has been touring a large part of the United States in order to complete the organization of a communist youth group. This organization will encompass all classes of young people, including college students. - The Party hopes that in addition to other groups it will eventually have communist youth groups on college campuses, All offices were alerted to this program by letter of June 21, 1960, entitled "CPUSA, Youth Matters, Internal Security - C" and to the necessity to have complete coverage of CP activity in youth matters. The Party is expected shortly to establish this youth organization, and we must be ready for this eventuality.

Consideration should be given to making contacts with coopera-~ tive officials of institutions of- learning so that we may become aware of the emergence on campuses of groups dominated by the CP. In addition, through a review of campus publi- cations information may be elicited concerning the formation of eommunist youth groups on campuses. The Party is keenly aware of the need to develop an effective program among youth, and you should be alert to develop and maintain the necessary informant coverage of this activity. TOPLEV PROGRAM Through this program of contacting: METHOD com- munists as potential informants it has been possible to obtain the services of many excellent informants. By contacting carefully selected subjects and utilizing new specific ap- proaches, additional informants can be developed which would insure continuation’ METHOD coverage of the CPUSA. By separate communication all 14 Toplev offices are being instructed to conduct an analysis of subjects previously approached and select individuals for reinterview at this time by utilizing specific new approaches, COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM Any office where there is any degree of concen- tration of communists (although not a regular participant in the Program) should consider the possible application of counterintelligence techniques specifically aimed at causing disruption or disillusionment inside Party circles. Bureau approval must be obtained before any action can be taken. All proposals must be carefully evaluated prior to submission so it can clearly be stated that the action recommended will not embarrass the Bureau or jeopardize informants, sources of information or special investigative techniques.

The new benefits await implementation by Congressional appropriation of the necessary funds. This cannot occur until the 88th Congress convenes in January, 1963. Legislation will then be introduced looking toward appropriation of such funds. The new benefits relate mainly to upward adjustment in amount of annuity and to increased survivor protection. Provisions which would affect the amount of annuity include: (1) The annuity of each retired employee and survivor annuitant receiving or eligible to receive an annuity on January 1, 1963, would be increased 5 per cent. Annuities commencing between January 2, and December 31, 1963, would be increased 4 per cent; those com- mencing during 1964, 3 per cent; those commencing during 1965, 2 per cent; and those commencing during 1966, 1 per cent. (2) Beginning in January, 1964, yearly changes in the nation- wide cost of living will be reviewed by the Civil Service Commission and whenever the cost of living rises at least 3 per cent, annuities will be further increased by a percentage matching the rise in the cost of living. (3) The reduction in an employee's annuity to provide for a survivor annuity will be changed from 2s per cent of the first $2400, ‘plus 10 per cent of the balance to 2s per cent of the first $3600, plus 10 per cent of the balance. This will apply, once Congress appropriates funds, to all retiring employees separated on or after October 11, 1962, with an annuity commencing after that time. 11/20/62 SAC LETTER NO. 62-66 -2- NW 35069 Docld:32989520 Page 421 ; ee —eeeee————ee——e— et:

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; that the so-called Negroes are slaves of the white race, referred to as “white devils," in the United States; and that 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 that 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 possibie ' prosecution by the United States Government; however, he did not indicate any fundamental changes in the teachings of his organi- zation, On May 2, 1966, a third source advised that Muhammad had, early in July, 1958, decided to de-emphasize the religious aspects of the teachings of Islam and to stress the economic benefits to be derived by those Negroes who joined the NOT.

Briefly the technique consists in mechanical reproduction of the pertinent portion of an official state road map for inclusion in the first part of a bank robbery, bank burglary, or other major case report. The item should be inserted in the first report submitted suitably captioned and depicting the location and description of the establishment or location where the crime was committed. Pertinent points of interest or importance should be circled and numbered or lettered. These markings should be explained on the same page if sufficient space exists. The marking should be done after reproduction and ink or lead other than black or blue black should be used as these colors tend to obliterate the existing printed items onthe map. Official state road maps should be used to avoid infringement of copyrights. . This method is used most effectively to determine locales in sparsely populated, rural or remote areas with less than the usual distinguish- ing features or points of reference; however, it will be of value in any type of case where knowledge of the locale is of benefit to the reader of the report. Where the technique is applicable, it is plain that it will save considerable time which would be needed to sketch or verbally describe a particular location. 11/1/66 SAC LETTER 66-68 4 (B) DEFENSE CENTRAL INDEX OF INVESTIGATIONS (DCII) -- SAC Letter Number 66-32, dated May 26, 1966, advised that effective May 27, 1966, the DCII at Fort Holabird, Maryland, would begin operating a centralized index of investigative files, including intelligence and criminal files, of the Army and Navy.

NW 35069 Doold:i329895258 Page 463 (C) FIRST LATIN AMERICAN CONGRESS OF JOURNALISTS -- Accord- j ing to current press reports, Fidel Castro is planning still another major : anti-U. S. propaganda spectacle scheduled to be known as the First Latin American Congress of Journalists and planned for July 28, 1968, to August 1, 1968, ir Havana. Reportedly, Latin American writers and newsmen will form the nucleus of the Congress but press representatives from Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America also will be invited. Radio Havana, one of the Cuban Government's chief propaganda outlets, has announced the theme of the Congress as "Anti-imperialism, " and delegates are to ke journalists who view the Congress as a powerful stimulus to the revolutionary struggles in their home countries. In keeping with the goals outlined at the July, 1967, Latin-American Solidarity Organization Conference and the January, 1968, Cultural Congress, the forthcoming meeting can logically be expected to close with the adoption of resolutions exhorting the overthrow of the U. S. Government through violent, armed revolutionary action. ' It is anticipated that many U. S. apologists for the Castro regime will attend and that some legitimate U. S. newsmen will be allowed to cover open sessions of the Congress. Many will probably travel with- out Department of State authority and under current regulations will not be subjected to punitive action by tte U. S. In the recent past, however, the, Mexican Government has been quite helpful by denying transit visas to communists and other subversives who wish to travel from the U. S. through Mexico to Cuba, thereby forcing them to assume the additional expense of traveling by way of Prague, Czechoslovakia, to get to Cuba or abandoning their efforts altogether after having paid travel and living expenses for a futile round trip to Mexico. In view of the possibility that the Mexican Government may desire to deny transit visas to U. S. subversives attempting to attend the Congress, we contemplate having Legal Attache, Mexico City, relay pertinent names to appropriate Mexican officials. All offices be alert to any information showing known subversives or other individuals who can be fully documented as members of subversive organizations are planning to travel to Cuba for the Congress or for the celebration on the anniversary of Fidel Castro's 1953 attack on the Moncada Barracks in Santiago, Cuba, which will be held on July 26, 1968. Furnish the identity of any such traveler by expedite communication to the Bureau and include therein a very succinct resume 7/9/68 / SAC LETTER 68-39 - 10- yy

Also provide the names, descriptions, or symbol numbers of the sources who can substantiate the documentation and any available information concerning the prospective visitor's travel document and itinerary which will aid; desires to take action Offices also be alert to our need for firsthand coverage of the Congress and make positive recommendations concerning advance briefing and/or debriefing of logical prospects for attendance at the Congress.

Ley w (D) CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES AT 1968 OLYMPIC GAMES IN MEXICO CITY - FOREIGN POLICE COOPERATION -- Mexican authorities have expressed deep concern that criminals from the United States and other countries will be attracted to the 1968 Olympic Games to be held in . Mexico City from October 12, 1968, through October 27, 1968, and have’ asked for the cooperation of the FBI in furnishing them any information regarding the identity and plans including travel of any such persons. All offices should alert appropriate sources concerning this matter and promptly advise the Bureau of any information received under the above caption. In view of the fact that data reported will require translation, no letterhead memoranda should be prepared. Instead, information should be furnished by letter or airtel depending onurgency. It should incorporate complete descriptive data including particular criminal specialties, FBI number and photograph, if available, and any other data of interest to Mexican authorities. Arrangements have been made by the Legal Attache, Mexico City, for concealment of the FBI as the source of information for any data disseminated. Information forwarded to the Legal Attache by the Bureau will be made available to Mexican authorities concerned with the maintenance of law and order and immigration.
