t4 SY % eos i “HW 35041 (B) NEW LEFT AND BLACK EXTREMIST TERRORISM - INFORMANT COVERAGE -- You have been advised in the past of the growing incidents of terroristic acts by the New Left and black extremists and the need for intensification of our investigations and development of new sources to combat these escalating problems. However, a review of the New Left Movement - Violence airtels submitted monthly by each field office indicates generally that your informant coverage of terrorist organizations and individuals is grossly inadequate. You are, therefore, instructed to immediately institute an aggressive policy of developing new productive informants who can infiltrate the ranks of terrorist organizations, their collectives, — communes and siaifs of their underground newspapers. fully recognizes that the development of sources to penetrate these groups is made extremely difficult because oi their immoral conduct -and use of drugs.

Concerning black extremists, it is essential that quality informants are developed at a regular rate. be the type who can obtain advance information concerning planned acts of violence or who are in a position to furnish information concern- _ing contemplated acts of violence. You should include in Item 4 of your monthly airtel on "New Left - Violence; Internal Security - Miscellaneous (Weatherman) ," as outlined in Bureau airtel to all offices May 13, 1970, constructive plans to implement the program outlined above concerning New Left terrorist organizations through informant development. relating to the development of a specific source or plan of action should be submitted to the Bureau by separate communication. * 9/15/70 SAC LETTER 70-48 Doold:32989525 Page 7i5 These informants shouid Recommendations
(C) SECURITY AND RACIAL INFORMANTS -- Never in our history have we been confronted with as critical a need for informant coverage. Ter- roristic violence surrounds us and more has been threatened. Bombings, assassination of police officers, kidnapping and murder are all part of the picture. Fanatics are at large who are at war with the Government ————and the American people. Particularly critical is the need for reliable \ information about the activities of violence-oriented youthful groups on campus. As you are aware, you have been previously instructed not to use campus student informants under the age of 21. In view of cur- rent circumstances, you are authorized to develop student security and racial informants who are 18 years of age or older. This presents you with a tremendous opportunity to expand your coverage, which is expected. However, in no way are your obligations to exercise selectivity and tight control lessened in this most sensitive area.

Year's holidays may be granted to the extent the employees’ services can be spared, with preference given those who have not had a vacation during the year for leave over one holiday or both. No leave without pay for absence during the holiday period’ will be approved. All employees, particularly those who plan long distance holiday travel, must bear this in mind. The 1970 leave year does not end until January 9, 4971. Employees having a maximum accumulation of thirty or more days should understand that leave earned in the current leave year but . mused at the close of the leave year is forfeited. Likewise, an employee with a maximum accumulation exceeaing thirty days will lower it if he uses more leave during the year than he earns. Your leave schedule must if possible be so arranged as to permit employees to take annual leave they request and which they would otherwise lose. The Bureau's concurrence must be secured when it is proposed to deny an employee's request with the result he will forfeit leave. -11/3/70 - | SAC LETTER 70-61 (B) TRAINING FILM ENTITLED "PHYSICAL EVIDENCE" -- The Bureau has prepared a new training film entitled "Physical Evidence."

U. S. v. Zeiler, 427 F2d 1305 (1970). iMW 85041 The Zeiler decision is contrary to an earlier decision in | the same circuit, U. S. v. Conway, 415 F2d 158 (1969); reh. den. 422 F2d 388. Moreover, both the Second Circuit in U. S. v. Bennett, 409 -. F2d 888, cert. den. sub nom. Haywood v. U. S., 396 U.S. 652, reh. den. 396 U.S. 949 (1970). and the Fifth Circuit in U. S. v.

Tafoya v. Eyman, 315 F. supp. 204 (1970) (D.c., Ariz.), This split among the circuits leaves some uncertainty. For your guidance it can be said that the preferred method of eyewitness identification in any post~arrest Situation is in using the lineup only. This procedure avoids raising the referenced question on which the circuits are in disagreement. It also avoids that due process question which is raised when the accused on trial contends that because of the characteris- tics of the photographs shown, or the manner in which they were exhibited, the investigating officers were in effect "suggesting" to the witness that photograph which was the correct one to choose. The rule stated immediately above'is inadequate, however, “for three reasons. First, it-fails te recognize the fact that in Bennett and cther cases the sometimes valuable technique of post-arreést identification by photograph has been permitted. Second, it fails to recognize an appar- ent conflict between Zeiler and Conway in the Third Circuit. Third, it fails to recognize any one of the many special circumstances which might— modify the position taken in Zeiler. The technique of post-arrest identification by photograph may be used, when believed necessary, in cases to be tried in those circuits and districts in which it has been approved. If in doubt on the rule in your circuit or district, consult the U. 8. Attorney. In cases to be tried in the Third Circuit, and in circuits and districts which have taken no position on this question, the technique may be used, when believed necessary, on the approval of the U. S. Attorney. , 2 These instructions assume that in all photographic identifica- tions the characteristics and the numbers of the photographs used, and the manner in which they are displayed, will be such that there is nothing to suggest to the witness which photograph he should select. 4 Advise all investigative personnel.

Also, requests of the Latent Finger- print Section for latent print examinations, testimony and training continued to increase at an unprecedented rate. The great demands ' being made on these facets of the Bureau's operation necessitate that | WW 55041 current procedures be reviewed at this time and that all investigative personnel be reminded to follow these procedures in order to be assured of continued, prompt and positive handling of their requests. we When requesting a name search it should be borne in mind that the Identification Division's name indices and fingerprint records are keyed to FBI, local arrest, and military service numbers: therefore, this infor- mation should be furnished at all times, where possible, to assist in the search and further for the purpose of providing a positive reply. Also, in view of the present size of the name files, requests for searches of common names should be avoided until sufficient identifying data is obtained and submitted to aid in the search. In making requests for the services of the Latent Fingerprint Section the following procedures should be borne in mind: (1) When sub- mitting evidence for examination the original items should be submitted wherever possible instead of photographs of the latent lifts. If the original. items cannot be submitted. of course, photographs will suffice. (2) Re- quests for the appearances of Fingerprint Examiners at preliminary and - grand jury hearings should be discouraged and in lieu of such appearances the appropriate Latent Fingerprint Section reports should be used if at all possible. (3) The Bureau should be given as much advance notice as possible when requesting testimony of Fingerprint Examiners so as to avoid any conflicts in court commitments. (4) All cancellations of testi- mony should be furnished to the Bureau by the most expeditious means to preclude possible unnecessary travel.

In-summary.,_the Department. apparently prepared this document in an effort to consider certain prosecutive priorities recognizing the increase in Federal crime and the limited manpower available to prosecute violators. . Some of the views set forth in this document were previously brought to the Bureau's attention, and we submitted our observations relative to those items falling within our jurisdiction and interest. With reference to the proposal concerning prosecution of interstate Trans- portation of Stolen Motor Vehicle (ITSMV) subjects, we have told the - Department that we feel that prosecution of ITSMV violators should not be restricted to commercial cases and aduits but rather each case should be considered on its individual merits. Cur expression has never been acknowledged. by the Department. It would appear the items concerning prosecution as set forth in the captioned document are suggestions which could be followed _ and are not at this point binding on all U. S. Attorneys. We know from experience that many U. S. Attorneys continue to authorize Federal prosecution for ITSMV violators in other than commercial cases and in aggravated situations where juveniles are involved.

(G) DESERTER MATTERS - SANCTUARY SITUATIONS -- There have been several instances in the recent past where servicemen have taken so-called "sanctuary" in churches or other public buildings. The Department of Defense has issued instructions to all branches of the military which clarifies the jurisdiction for this type of case. Briefly, the responsibility remains-with the military~to apprehend deserter-——— fugitives in all instances where both deserter fugitives and other absentees ‘are present in the same "sanctuary" since it has the authority to arrest both deserters and those in absent without leave status. The Bureau will only make the apprehension where the deserter fugitive investigation was in progress prior to the time-information is developed that the fugitive is in a so-called "sanctuary" and there are no other military absentees present. If we have been investigating a deserter and he takes sanctuary while we are looking for him, we will handle the sanctuary situation. You should be alert in this type of case to any possible violation of Title 18, Section 1381, United States Code, (FBI Handbook, Part II, _page 83b) for harboring a deserter, enticing or procuring desertion or refusal to give up a deserter upon demand of an authorized officer.

Believed to be of Cuban origin, these instructions relate to -the preparation of components as well as finished explosive and incendiary devices. th. Bureau experience with bonibing matters has not revealed any specific instances where the device used was prepared from these in- structions. Nevertheless, they should be brought to the attention of investigative personnel and should be considered by them during investi- _ gations as noted above, particularly where Cubans (either pro-Castro or. anti-Castro) or Cubau-tiaiued suspecis are involved. In the latter -category might-be included-also any-extremist militants of the New Left -- or Black Power movements who may have visited Cuba, received training there, or who have Cuban contacts with subversive backgrounds. Any specific example or indication that a device was prepared from these instructions should be brought promptly to the Buréau's attention. The foregoing in no way alters standing instructions concern- ing the handling of explosives by Bureau personnel. As in the past, they should be guided in such matters by instructions in the Agent's Handbook, Part III, Chapter 65, page 160, and the Manual of Instructions, Section 86, pages 5 and 7.

(B) NEW LEFT MOVEMENT - POLICE TRAINING MATTER -= Recently various field offices have proposed that Special Agents familiar - with the New Left movement speak before groups of local law enforcement personnel concerning this movement. The Bureau is of the opinion that such talks or briefings concerning the New Left movement would be beneficial to both the FBI and law enforcement; however, should be with all current and national facets of this movement as well as being completely versed in Bureau policy..: The Bureau will, therefore, consider on a highly selective basis requests from the field to send a qualified representative to speak before closed meetings of local law-enforcement personnel. This talk would best be handled in conjunction with a school or conference con- cerning other police matters. The-field office requesting a Bureau speaker in this matter should have strong control over the school or conference. Submit request setting forth date of school or conference,- the number of law enforcement personnel attending, and your comments on-why-you feel this talk would.be.a benefit to this particular group. . This should not be interpreted to mean that the Bureau is soliciting invitations for wide-spread participation in briefing of local law enforcement personnel in regard to New Left matters. To the — contrary it is felt that briefing of this nature should be held to a minimum and should only be given to command level law enforcement administrators ona very selective basis. I personally intend to examine each and every request for a briefing of this type to insure that it is worthwhile and justifies the time, effort, and expenditure ot money necessary to handle such commitments. very truly yours, John Edgar Hoover Director 1/21/69

Dr. and Mrs. Overstreet, weil-known scholars and educators, have carefully studied and refuted the false charges made against the Bureau by such vicious critics as Max Lowenthal, Fred J.

The Oversireets emphasize that the operations of the FBI do not in any way represent a threat to the freedoms of our free and open society and that charges that the Bureau is a national police agency are completely false. The book is highly readable, intellectually stimulating and extremely lucid... The Bureau has made arrangements with W. W.

Alternate candidates who were investigated for the 83rd Session of the National Academy and not invited to attend that session in view of lack of space will be considered the principal candidates for the 84th Session of the National Academy from the field offices covering their law enforcement agencies. : All candidates nominated for the 84th Session must have been interviewed by the current Special Agent in Charge.. If such has not been aone, appropriate interview form should be submitted along with your recommendations. It is expected that only outstanding candidates who _ have a potential in the training or administrative fields will be nominated. Since the Bureau now pays travel and subsistence allowances to attendees, . those offices covering more than one state should, where feasible, nominate a candidate from each of those states. 3/11/69 a oo SAC LETTER 69-16 - 7: (B) LEAVE - CHANGES IN POLICY -- One year's Bureau service will no longer be required as the minimum for an employee to qualify for maternity leave. Six months’ service will henceforth suffice for this purpose, The requirement enunciated in SAC Letter 69-3 that all requests for leave without pay would require Bureau approval is hereby modified. Only those requests for leave without pay exceeding one day will require such approval. This change in no way broadens the reasons for which leave without pay can be granted; it simply relieves ‘division heads of the necessity for securing Bureau approval of leave without pay of a day or less for those purposes for which Bureau policy has previously provided ": .. leave without pay. .Any request for leave without pay not included within those purposes will require Bureau approval even though it may be for one day or less.
(C) ASSOCIATED CREDIT BUREAUS, INC. -~ The Associated Credit Bureaus (ACB), Inc., which is a trade association, and has some 2100 member credit bureaus, has issued guidelines to protect consumer privacy. One of the guidelines pertains to service to noncredit granting govern- mental agencies. The guidelines provide that member credit bureaus ay supply to those agencies-under-contract identifying-information—. such as names, addresses, former addresses, places of employment or former employment. Any other information in credit bureau files will be supplied only in response to legal process unless the investigation is for security purposes. . A source at ACB has advised that these guidelines would affect the FBI; however, they are worded broadly enough not to stop credit bureaus from furnishing the necessary information. Certain types of information could be furnished under a contract basis and other infor- mation could be furnished under the same contract basis in security- type.investigations which would include, according to the source, -- applicant-type-investigationsa.: Lf the-individual.credit bureau continues . to furnish the requested intormation without contract or agreement, the issue should not be raised. In those instances where member credit bureaus will not ftirnish such information without some agreement along the line of the above guidelines, you are authorized to sign such an — agreement if it does not go into such maiters as a membership fee and other charges. A copy of each such signed agreement should be furnished . to the Bureau. . : Credit bureau agreements and contracts concerning charges : ’ to be made by the credit bureaus for their services should, as in the ~ past, be forwarded to the Bureau with your recommendation as to acceptance. 3/11/69 | ; SAC LETTER 69-16 “ede J “MW 55041 Docld: 32989525 age 758
(D) FLEX-CUF TIES - TEMPORARY RESTRAINING DEVICES -- For- warded under separate cover is a supply of white nylon Flex-Cuf Ties with an appropriate number for training purposes with the locking barb removed. The training ties are dyed a distinctive red color to prevent ———— —confusion with those that-may-be-used-in-arrest situations. -Since -these devices can be removed by sustained application of intense flame or” sharp instrument, appropriate searches and subsequent guarding of restrained persons are paramount, as in the case of any arrest. It is_imperative that all of our Agents receive training in their use. Field police instructors should afford training to police agencies requesting same. These devices are not meant to replace handcuffs but are an expendable alternate restraining device to augment the present supply of handcuffs in your office. They can be made available to Agents, at your discretion, to be carried in the glove compartment of Bureau cars, .. brief cases or on the person. . The August, 1968, issue of the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin sets forth specifications of these devices as well as methods of utilizing them. The Planning and Research Unit of the Training Division is pre- paring a Police Instructor's Bulletin with additional techniques for their application. These ties have a one-time use and must be cut to be removed. To avoid severe wrist and finger cuts, diagonal or cutting ‘pliers are recommended to remove them. 3/11/69 SAC LETTER 69-16 (FE) NIGHT-VIEWING EQUIPMENT - SURVEILLANCES -- There is available from the Radio Engineering Section of the Laboratory a new night- viewing device called the "Starlight Scope." This unit is completely portable and is packaged in a luggage-type metal carrying case. The viewing unit operates on one self-contained 6. 75-volt mercury cell which will give efficient service from 50 to 100 hours, depending upon the frequency of viewer use. Functioning of this device is based on the technique of low-light level image intensification or amplification. It utilizes and amplifies the natural or ambient light radiations (moonlight or starlight) emanating from the night sky which are reflected by the scene under surveillance. Asa result, no artificial illumination, such as infrared, is needed to flood the area for night observation. o "3/11/69 Ce po SAC LETTER 69-16  28- , NW 55041 Docld: 32989525 Page 755

The official described the President as very interested in stepping up ‘United States economic aid and improving relations with Latin America. The current attempt of a Presidential envoy to ease the United States- Peruvian crisis and the projected visits to Latin America on the President's behalf by Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, beginning in April, 1969, attest to the President’s concern. | The Bureau has received no official notification of Presidential plans for travel to Latin America. However, stepped-up | anti-United States nationalistic influences, increased diplomatic and commercial relations with Soviet-bloc countries, and efforts of the latter to promote discord and subversion in the area are likely to generate continuing and grave problems with ramifications in the . United States. We should anticipate that the need for pertinent | ' intelligence data will remain acute in the foreseeable future.

. MW 55041 (D) BANK LARCENY -- The Criminal Division of the Department recently advised that false statements by a person which induce a pape to turn over the possession of funds to that person, but where there is no intention on the bank's part to convey title, constitute a crime of larceny by trick in | ——violation of 18, U.S. Code, 2113 (b). An example is a person who falsely poses as an armored car employee authorized to pick up certain funds — for delivery to a stated place, and by the impersonation induces the bank to relinquish possession of the funds. The bank did not intend to deliver title to the impersonator, just as it had no intention to deliver title to the armored car employee. Title remained in the bank. Abuse of title is larceny and, as such, is covered by 18, U.S. Code, 2113 (b). The Department reiterated its position that larceny by false pretense, that is, the obtaining of both possession and title by fraudulent representation, (quick change artist, fake rolled coins, fraudulent passbook withdrawals, eic. ) is not covered under the Federal Bank Robbery and Incidental Crimes Statute. In these situations the bank intends to transfer title of the money to the person making the talse representation. In situations which arise where there is doubt whether the act committed constitutes larceny under the Federal Bank Robbery Statute, _ the U. S. Attorney should be consulted and the Bureau advised. 5/6/69 a SAC LETTER 69-27 ~3: Doold: 32369525 Page TTC

STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY | A source has advised that the StudentS fora Democratic . __ Society (SDS), as it is known today, came into being at a founding _ convention held at Port Huron, Michigan, in June, 1962. From an initial ideological posture of "participatory democracy, '‘ the current line of the national leadership reveais an adherence to Marxism-Leninism. Michael Klonsky, National Secretary, in March, 1969, called for the building of a revolutionary Marxist-Leninist movement. The program of SDS has moved: from involvement in civil rights struggles to an anti- Vietnam war position and finally to its present advocacy of an anti-~ imperialist line, linking up the oppressed peoples of Asia, Africa and ... Latin America with the black liberation movement in the United States. China,” Vietnam and Cuba are regarded as countries which are leading. - ‘the world-wide struggles against United States imperialism. -On the - other hand, SDS regards the Soviet Union as an imperialist power and does not support the policies of that country. SDS maintains a National Office in Room 206, 1608 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. Its official paper "New Left Notes" reflects the line of the national leadership and program adopted at meetings of the National Council and National Interim Commiitee (NIC).. Three national officers and a NIC of eleven members are elected each year during a June National Convention. | SDS Regional Offices and university and college chapters elect delegates to National Council meetings wherein program and ideology are debated, but each Region and chapter is autonomous in _ nature and is free to carry gut independent policy and programs reflective of local conditions. tees —s Source: a 5/27/69 4 SAC LETTER 69-30 Doold: 32989525 NW 35041 Page 777
(D) RACIAL INFORMANTS - RACIAL MATTERS -- With the coming of summer, many of the radical Negro students on college campuses who have been creating such havoc will undoubtedly interrupt their studies for the. summer months.__The hatred engendered in them by their campus agitation will undoubtedly follow them into the communities where they will be living. It is logical to assume that they will continue to demonstrate their anarchistic feelings by engaging in or seeking to promote racial violence. The most logical areas for such agitation are the Negro ghettos. In view of the above, you must immediately reevaluate your informant coverage in the ghetto areas in your division. In those areas where such coverage is not already adequate to thoroughly saturate every level of activity in the ghetto, you must make immediate aggressive efforts to expand such coverage to adequate levels. This matter must be given immediate and continuous attention in view of the extremely costly potential in loss of human lives and property | whicn can resuit from unchecked racial violence. Your primary goal in developing a network of ghetto-type racial informants must be to have such coverage as to enable you to advise appropriate local and Federal authorities in advance of potential large scale racial violence. Only by a network of ghetto informants sufficiently widespread to develop information of that type can the Bureau fulfill its current responsibilities.

A summary of the instructions is being furnished herein for your guidance ——~and compliance. When requesting authority for arelectrontc surveillance, —— make certain all additional data now required is set forth in Form FD-142. r For reasons of security, electronic surveillances in the internal security field should be requested under the Presidential authorization provision of the Act; however, if prosecution appears likely, consideration should be given to recommending use of a court order. Basis for the type desired should be clearly set forth. The Supreme Court's decisions have shown that the legality of the interception is of prime importance in determining whether information regarding electronic surveillance must be disclosed to a defendant whose conversation-has been intercepted. Therefore, future requests for electronic surveiilances in the internal security field should contain: (1). An identification of the premises and location, and the ~~ room or office, in which the interception device is to be placed or phone to which such a device is to be attached and facts regarding the instal- ‘lation to asSist in determining whether a trespass will be involved. - (2). A general description of the activities subject is engaged . in and the type of information which itis anticipated will be obtained : through the electronic coverage. ; (3). The period of time for which approval is requested, - with subsequent advice as to date of installation. (4), Whether it is anticipated that the conversations of any. other subject who is under active investigation for possible criminal violations will be overheard.

VASSILIS C. P. MORFOPOULOS - EXPERT FINGERPRINT TESTIMONY - IDENTIFICATION MATTER -- The October, 1968, issue of "The Legal Aid Briefcase," a publication of the National Legal Aid and~~—~-— Defender Association, American Bar Center, Chicago, Illinois, published an article entitled "Some Fingerprints Lie."' This concerned a murder trial in Dutchess County, New York, in which Morfopoulos testified as a fingerprint expert for the defense. Two prosecution fingerprint experts had testified that a bloody latent fingerprint found on the headboard of the victim's bed was identical with one of the fingerprints of the defendant. Dr. Morfopoulos testified that it was not identical with the fingerprint of the defendant. The article extolled the expert testimony of Morfopoulos and attempted to cast serious doubt on the infallibility of fingerprint evidence. fos "BBY fiigerpriut experts have examined fingerprint evidence in this case and found that the latent fingerprint is identical with the fingerprint of the defendant. A letter of rebuttal has been sent to the President of the National Legal Aid and Defender Association setting out the true facts and correcting the erroneous impression conveyed by the article with the suggestion that the letter be published in a future issue of "The Legal Aid Briefcase." Morfopoulos' qualifications as a fingerprint expert are deemed to be questionable. He is described as being a Greek immigrant who . entered the United States in 1955 to attend school. He has a degree in -engineering science and is presently Director of the American Standards Testing Bureau in New York City, a private concern. While his educa- tional background appears extensive in certain scientific fields, he has practically no background or experience in fingerprint work. He describes himself as a microscopist, one who observes objects through a micro- Scope.

(B) LAW ENFORCEMENT EDUCATION - GRANTS AND LOANS -- The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 authorized a program of educational aid to law enforcement officers and students © __ planning law enforcement careers. The Office of Academic Assistance, of.the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, has just issued basic information which should be made available to interested Special Agent d-clerical personnel of your < office. The educational aid is in the form of (1) crants and (2) loans. Grants pay up to $300 per semester or $200 per quarter for eligible law enforcement officers taking courses related to law enforcement. ‘'Courses related to law enforcement" are, for example, sociology, chemistry, economics, computer science, and urban planning. The official interpre- tation of "law enforcement officers" includes FBI Agents but not our non- Agent personnel. Money is paid to the educational institution rather than ~- ‘to the student. The student must get his employer's certification that the courses are of the appropriate kind and that he is employed as a law enforcement officer. He must agree to remain with his agency for two ‘years following completion of any course covered by a grant. If he violates the agreement he must repay the amount of the grant with 70 interest. He cannot receive education benefits from the Veterans Admin- istration concurrently. at “Loans of up to $1800 per academic year can be made to full- time students employed by a law enforcment agency or preparing to. enter ‘aw enforcement. A ‘full-time student" is one carrying at least 75‘ of ' the normal academic load. He must be pursuing studies leading to a certificate or degree in an area directly related to law enforcement. If he is enrolled in studies potentially relevant to other areas as well as law enforcement such as chemistry, sociology, or economics, his overall ‘curriculum must include a minimum of 15 semester credit hours or their equivalent in law enforcement subjects. Examples of the latter are criminal investigation, police administration and organization, criminology, juvenile delinquency, and police community relations. A loan does not prevent the student's réceiving concurrent GI education benefits. He must agree to repay the loan plus To interest within ten years after the repayment begins. The total amount of the loan and interest is cancelled, if he serves ag a full-time law enforcement officer or employee, at the rate of 25'0 of the total for each full year of service. The borrowed money goes directly to the participating educational institution, not to the borrower. 6/24/69 | | . . '. SAC LETTER 69-34... #2- | NW 55041 Docld:32989525 Page 786
FBI clerks are potentially eligible to obtain such loans, le could help them complete college studies designed to qualify them for| the Special Agent position. Any employee desiring to apply for a loan or a grant shoul contact the school of his choice to see if it is participating in the program and if so as to the application procedure. Any documents required to be executed by the employer should be forwarded to the Bureau, attention Personnel Section, with a cover letter detailing the circumstances. It now appears no such documents will be necessary for loan applications, but the Bureau desires to be informed by you of any such applications for record purposes, communications of this type also being directed to the attention of the Personnel Section.

Whenever the intercepted conversations clearly contain no evidence or leads to evidence of criminal conduct, the tapes need not be- retained. after they have served.the needs of your office. However,.the _ Department has pointed out that frequently it is required to disclose to the court and sometimes to defense counsel recorded conversations of 2 defendant in a Federal criminal case to refute the contention that infor- mation relevant to that case was obtained through elsur. Therefore, the- ‘Department has suggested that when an individual whose ‘conversation is | being monitored is known by monitoring personnel or by the Special Agent who prepares a summation of the conversation to be the subject i in a Federal criminal case, the taped recording or a verbatim transcript 1 _ of the conversation should be retained whenever possible. 7 The Department has further instructed that when an indiviudal becomes a defendant in a Federal criminal case, every effort should be i made to avoid monitoring his conversations through elsurs. Equal effort must be made to avoid monitoring any and all conversations of anyone known to be serving as-an attorney for a defendant in a Federal criminal case. Therefore, whenever an elsur is operated in a substantive case in which current or future prosecution in a Federal court is or may be involved, monitoring should be conducted by a Special Agent or Special Employee. The monitoring personnel must be instructed in writing that they must immediately cease monitoring, both in person and by electronic recording, any conversation as soon as it becomes clear that the. parties thereto are either a defendant or an attorney of a defendant in a Federal criminal case. , a 7
“e It is recognized that it is impossible to make monitoring person- nel aware of all defendants and their attorneys in all existing or contemplated Federal criminal cases. Our efforts must be directed at surviving the test of whether our approach was logical, reasonable, and practical. It is logical and reasonable to expect that as a practical matter our monitoring personnel should be aware of the identities of the defendants —_—___-and their. attorneys..in.substantive.cases_where elsurs are. being used.and___ prosecution is contemplated. To further insure that they do they must be provided with a list of such defendants and their attorneys. They should also be instructed that they must be alert not to monitor other individuals in the same categories aside from the substantive case when there is reasonable basis for the possible future contention that it was generally publicly known that such individuals were involved in prosecutive action in a Federal court. Pen ee a The monitors should be instructed that in such situations they are to make a notation in the log, as appropriate, that the conversation was cut off and was not overheard, after identifying the name of the defendant or attorney who was conversing which occasioned the cut-off. Further- more, any time 2 cenversation relating to defense strategy or tactics, between any two persons, takes place, the conversation should be immedi- ately cut off as soon as the subject matter of the conversation becomes apparent. The same procedure should be followed with respect to monitoring in other cases in which it may be reasonably expected calls -— will be received from defendants or attorneys involved in current or future prosecution. , If a conversation of a defendant or one of his attorneys should in- advertently be overheard and later comes to the attention of a Special Agent, that Special Agent shall immediately seal the record of the con- versation, attaching a memorandum certifying that he has not and will ‘not orally or in writing relate the substance of the conversation to - any other representative of the Government or to anyone else except upon order from the Attorney General. This sealed log and the Agent's certification should immediately be forwarded to the Bureau for trans- mittal to the appropriate-Assistant Attorney General.

The Department is fully dependent upon the FBI for the collec- tion and prompt reporting of intelligence data related to threatened or actual civil disorders. It is also dependent upon the Bureau for assist- ance in evaluating intelligence data regarding developing situations ~ having a potential for violence. It is absolutely essential, therefore, that the Bureau be immediately notified by the most expeditious means warranted by the urgency of the circumstances of any outbreak of civil | disorder or situations which threaten to expand into mob violence or riots. _—- . image In those instances where the Bureau is initially notified by tele- phone, a confirming teletype setting forth the available details must be submitted within the hour and in a form suitable for dissemination. The-— Bureau must be kept fully informed of all subsequent pertinent develop- ments by teletype, cr by telephone followed by teletype if the informa- tion or circumstances so warrant. I wish to reiterate that in order for the Bureau to carry out its responsibilities in this extremely critical field, a constant and effective ' Check on existing conditions which may lead to riots or mob violence NW 35041 must be maintained. School and campus disorders and the activities of racial and other types of extremists must be considered in this regard. Tg:accomplish this coverage, full utilization of informants and in-depth liaison with local law enforcement agencies is essential. I am holding each SAC personally responsible to see that the - above instructions are fully complied with and to insure that law en-. © forcement agencies in his Division fully understand the importance of the FBI being immediately notified of any threatened or actual outbreak of civil disorder. Any delay whatsoever in | reporting data in this area to the Bureau will not be tolerated. 8/19/69 i. SAC LETTER 69-44 ee See Docld: 32989525 Page T39 :
(c) INFILTRATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES BY BLACK EXTREMIST GROUPS - RACIAL MATTERS -- Information has recenily been developed by the Washington}Field Office that a black extremist leader indicated he had been thinking of recruiting young black people into his organization with the thought that they could be infiltrated into the FBI and/or CIA. There is no indication that such ——-. —a program had been implemented.—. This again highlights the ever present danger of infiltration of the ranks of our employees. As you are aware, our investigations and system of operation are geared to uncover any "plant"; however, we must never lose sight of this possibility, since penetration of law enforcement agencies is a priority target of these extremist groups. All Bureau Agents should be alert for information indicating that infiltration as outlined above is being considered or is taking place. During contacts with informants, this matter should be pursued to ~ determine if they have any information regarding infiltration by et . extremist groups into the FBI, other intelligence agencies, and local law enforcement. Advise the Bureau promptly of any information developed. ; The next Black Nationalist Movement semiannual report which -— is due 9/10/69 and all subseauent reports should contain all information developed including contacts with sources and informants regarding — _this matter. The results should be set forth under above caption as Section VI of the report. _ kk erent ten tee!

Cc. 20535 In Reply, Please Refer to File No. August 26, 1969 A) VOUCHERS - MOVING EXPENSES =BUREAU OF THE BUDGET: CIRCULAR A-56 REVISED JUNE 26, 1969 -- Bureau of the Budget has issued revised regulations governing additional benefits provided by e Public Law 89-516, approved July 21, 1966, for employees who are officially transferred. The revised regulations were effective as of June 26, 1969, and are not retroactive prior to that date. A copy of the re- vised regulations is attached and additional copies in the form of inserts to the Voucher Guide will be forwarded to your office in the near future. A summary of the pertinent changes together with the Bureau's regulations thereon follows: OVERSEAS TRAVEL OF DEPENDENTS If a member of an employee’s immediate family reaches his 21st birthday while the employee is stationed overseas and the Government paid the cost of his transportation to the overseas station when the employee was transferred, such member may be returned to the United ~~ States at Government expense provided the return travel is performed within the prescribed time limitation. Heretofore the regulations prohibited the travel of such member of the employee's immediate family at Government cost. ; COMPUTATION OF PER DIEM An employee traveling on transfer, or traveling to or from an overseas duty station on home leave, or returning to his place of resi- dence in the United States from an overseas duty station for separation, is now entitled to a claim of per diem regardless of the fact that the travel time for the trip is less than ten hours. Members of the employce's immediate family traveling with the employee under these conditions are also entitled to a claim of per diem. The previous regulations contained [NW 55041 Docld:37989525 Page 801 nn etn ——es—sSCidY
a ten-hour restriction with respect to the computation of per diem. It is desired to point out that the elimination of the ten-hour rule does not apply when travel is incidental to temporary duty. Each per diem claim . under this regulation must be supported by a statement to the effect that -+-_—--  —additional expenses were-incurred. : TEMPORARY QUARTERS ALLOWANCES (TIME) The revised regulation extends the period of time during which the employee may begin his temporary quarters, allowance. The temporary quarters claim must begin not later than 30 days from the date the employee reported for duty at the new station or if not begun during this period, then not later than 30 days from the date the familv vacated the residence at the old station. Previously the 30-day rule for | the starting time of a temporary quarters claim did not include the condition for the extension of time relating to the family vacating the became residence.at the old station. .. acsu..... . Receipts are required for lodging, laundry and cleaning expenses— (except when coin-operated machines are used for laundering and/or ’ cleaning of clothes). The previous regulations did not specify the requirement for receipts to support expenses incurred for laundry and cleaning of clothes. | Y RECEIPT REQUIREMENT FOR TEMPORARY QUARTERS EXPENSES — 2 a eee Teen, REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION ~ SETTLEMENT DATES The new regulations now provide for an additional condition wherein the period of time for the settlement dates on a real estate transaction may be extended. An additional period of time not in excess of one year may be authorized or approved by the agency when it is determined that circumstances justifying the exception exist which precluded settlement within the initial one-year period of the sale and/or purchase contract entered into in good faith by the employee during the initial one-year period. All circumstances used to justify the extension of time must be set forth in writing. The extension of time will only be granted in those cases where all facts show that the employee entered 8/26/69 Co NW 55041 Doold: 329859325 Fage 6802
into a sale or purchase contract which would have allowed sufficient time under normal conditions for the transaction to have been completed within the initial one-year period of time. Each employee’s voucher submitted for real estate transaction expenses wherein the settlement dates extend beyond the one-year initial time period must be supported by a statement of information from the employee concerning the causes-—_ for the delay and forwarded to the Bureau with your personal recommen- dations concerning the merits involved in the case. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES | Several changes have been made to clarify various types of expenses that are now proper for reimbursement. The cost of a title insurance policy and legal and related expenses for a title opinion are now reimbursable. The same types of expenses incurred in both the sale and purchase transactions are now reimbursable; whereas, heretofore they were restricted to either the sale or purchase transaction but not both. The new regulations eliminate as reimbursable the cost incurred by the employee in obtaining a loan for the purchase of a dwelling and also prohibits reimbursement to the employee for expenses that are determined to be a part of the financial cost under the Truth  .ad-Lending Act (Public Law 90-321). . — Ar 3 .

(B) SECURITY AND RACIAL INFORMANTS -- A recent survey conducted by the Inspection Division of informants and sources on the campuses of educational institutions determined that there exists a need for tight controls and great selectivity in this most sensitive area. Accordingly, no s student should be developed as a campus security _ or racial informant or source of any type in security or racial matters who is under the age of 21. In the event there exist highly unusual circumstances which would warrant an exception, you should submit such a request to the Bureau setting out full justification. Upon initial contact with a potential student informant or source, informant or source should be requested to execute a brief signed written statement for the field file to the effect that such individual has voluntarily furnished information to the FBI because of his concern of individuals and groups acting against the interests of his government and that he understands that the FBI is not interested in the legitimate activities of educational institutions. mo, Sooo VAYSO, you will supmit a quarterly letter regarding each student - . or teacher authorized for contact as a potential informant, informant or panel source in security and racial matters. This letter should contain details regarding productivity, citing specific information furnished by the source not otherwise available to your office from public source material or other avail- able sources off campus. Sufficient information must be contained in this letter to justify the continued utilization of the source. The initial quarterly letters should be submitted by each office by January 1, 1970, and should be transmitted to the Bureau by cover com- “munication under the caption "Utilization of Informants and Sources at Institutions of Learning."’ The cover communication should set forth an over- all analysis of coverage afforded by campus sources in each division including the number of informants and sources active and under development at each educational institution where sources are being utilized. Subsequent letters should be submitted in a like manner on a quarterly basis. 9/26/69 | . SAC LETTER 69-55. . -2- . HW 35041 Docld: 329599525 Page 809

(B) SUBVERSIVE ORGANIZATION CHARACTERIZATION ~ AMERICAN SERVICEMEN'S UNION -- Set forth below is an up-to-date characteri- zation of the American Servicemen's Union (ASU) which is believed to have field-wide application. On September 20, 1969, a source advised that the ASU, ~ formed during early 1968,-maintains headquarters at 156 FifthAvenue, New York, New York. ASU is dominated and controlled by the Workers World Party (WWP) and is designed to advance WWP efforts to undermine United States political and military objectives abroad by fomenting discontent among military enlisted personnel and by calling for the establishment of a servicemen's union. ASU's chief propaganda weapon is the publication of ''The Bond - The Servicemen's Newspaper" which is widely circulated at military installations free of charge and at times unsolicited. : The source also advised that the ASU's Chairman is Andrew Dean Stapp, undesirably dischargea from the United States Army in “April, 1968. Stapp is a mnetitber of the WWP. ASU and "The Bond” are terms used interchangeably in connection with WWP interests in military matters. The former has no real existence apart from the latter since the publication is the primary means of generating interest among and communicating with servicemen interested in the formation ofa union. The Union does not function as an organization at this ‘time. It has, however, been given much publicity in each edition of “The Bond." A characterization of the WWP as set out on page 44 of SAC Letter 69-50 dated September 19, 1969, will be used in conjunction with the above characterization. Source: PELETED .

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE { ‘EDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION , i WASHINGTON, D.C. 20535 In Reply, Please Refer to ; File No October 22, 1969 (A) SECURITY INFORMANT AND RACIAL INFORMANT PROGRAMS - ——__..R’ DUCTION IN COST -- The_value of productive live informants in the s curity and racial fields cannot be overemphasized and in this connection } want to stress that there are many areas where informant coverage is in- dequate or weak. However, in an effort to cope with an ever-increasing ost of our operations, particularly in the payments to informants for w~ervices and expenses, I want each Special Agent in Charge to undertake a detailed analysis of his individual security and racial informant programs in an effort to determine if there are any ways in which savings may be effected through retrenchment, refinement and/or elimination of duplication of effort. In approaching this problem, each Special Agent in Charge is urged to be both critical and constructive. You should consider what is ‘mecessary to your efficient operations as opposed to whatis desirable. How- ever, it is expected that the productivity of each and every informant will ; de taken into account, bearing in mind that in some instances the primary value of an informant is to provide corroboration of intelligence received from other informants. While a system of corroborating information provided by other informants is essential in determining the validity of our data and the integrity of newly developed informants and sources, and may be the desirable © manner of cross-checking information, it may be that in some instances back- up informants are being continued for corroborative purposés even though integrity and reliability of other primary sources of the same information - have been established. Such practice leans more to the desirable maximum coverage rather than the more economical necessary coverage and wherever possible should be eliminated or curtailed.” ——S—S This is not to suggest that justified payments to established, productive informants should be arbitrarily reduced in order to achieve savings; nor should you arbitrarily discontinue informants who may occasionally fur- nish duplicate or corroborative information but for the most part produce valuable first-hand intelligence. In particular you should not curtail your NW 55041  DocTd:329895295 Page 813 . . a
informant program as such, although it is recognized that in order to accomplish a reduction in expenses it may be necessary for you to cut back rs the total number of informants being operated by your office in the security field. Each office should place stress on quality over quantity in evaluating ‘its informant coverage. In some instances informants being paid on a regular basis ma may have authorized amounts reduced to more realistic figures. Other informants might logically be reduced to the status of confidential sources, while still others might be discontinued entirely, subject of course to being reinstated if the circumstances so dictate. Discontinuance of such informants should of course be accomplished in such a manner that should the need arise, they may be reactivated. You should also consider the possibility of redirecting efforts of any informant whose services, while desirable in one field, may be more valuable in another area where there is inadequate coverage. Such redirection might result in a decrease in activity with an accompanying decrease in the amount paid to him for services and/or expenses, were, Sree we It is recognized that of necessity there will be an abrupt decrease in informant statistics because of cutbacks in the overall informant strength. However, I feel that this will be more than offset by projected savings which will be realized.and this will be fully taken into account during inspections of your office. Cutbacks in individual situations must not result in a letdown on the part of each individual Agent in his continuing search for well-qualified security . and racial informants and participation by each Special Agent in this important program will also continue to be examined by the inspection staff. Within thirty days from the date of this letter each office must submit to the Bureau by letter captioned "SECURITY AND RACIAL INFOR- MANT COVERAGE - REDUCTION IN COST" overall results of its detailed analysis together with its recommendations for measures which will result - in savings in informant costs in the office. Your letter should identify each case by title and Bureau file number, wherein savings can be effected, to- gether with the projected savings and the effect themeasure will have on your informant program. This letter must be immediately followed by separate letters for individual case files of informants affected. In addition _to recommendation for discontinuance, redirection, reduction in status, reduction in authorized payments or other action, each letter must specifically comment as to the possibility of reactivation of discontinued informants should the need arise and whether the informant-offers any potential for re- direction in another field where informant coverage is weak or inadequate. : Os > 7.

4 4 (B) MEDICARE - MEDICAID ~ FRAUD AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT -- In recent months considerable publicity has appeared in various parts of the country concerning large-scale frauds and other abuse: by doctors, dentists, hospitals and nursing homes in connection with the operation of Medicare and Medicaid programs. These abuses relate to alleged mis- ——_— _—management by state authorities, charges for services not rendered, inflated fees, double billings, charges for unnecessary services and services to ineligible patients. In order to insure uniform handling by the field of complaints received concerning the operations of these programs, and to avoid duplication of investigation, the following is being set forth. - Medicare is a Federal program enacted July 30, 1965, to provide hospital and medical insurance to persons over 65 years of age and is available all over the United States. This insurance program is financed by monthly premiums and is administered by the Social Security Administration. Fraudulent claims submitted under this program would be a violation of Title 42, U. S. Code, Section 408 (Section 208 of the Social Security Act), which as a general rule would take precedence over the general Criminal fraud statutes. = = = — The Social Security Administration has an investigative staff and has primary responsibility for the administration of Social Security Act benefits, including the Medicare program. Recent irregularities brought- to light concerning this program have been investigated by the Social Security Administration. In view of the foregoing, any complaints réceived by the field con- cerning possible frauds or other abuses in the operation of the Medicare program should be referred to the nearest local office of the Social Security Administration without any investigation. Medicaid is a grant-in-aid program in which Federal and state (and sometimes local) governments share the costs of medical care for people with low income. States design their own programs within Federal _- ,: guidelines and benefits vary from state to state. The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare is responsible for the administration of the program on the Federal level, whereas state agencies have this responsibility on a local level. Any complaints received concerning alleged irregularities in connection with this program should be submitted to the nearest local office of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare without investigation.

(C) INVESTIGATION OF UNAFFILIATED WHITE RACIAL EXTREMISTS - RACIAL MATTERS -- Under existing instructions, investigation of white extremists is restricted to those individuals who are associated with the Klan or other white hate-type organizations. In view of the recent marked increase in violent acts throughout the United States on the part of indi- viduals who are not affiliated with the Klan or other white hate-type organizations, it is-necessary to modify existing instructions to broaden the scope of our investigative responsibilities to include these unaffiliated individuals. Investigation has established that many of the individuals involved in these recent acts of violence, although not currently members of the Klan or other white hate-type groups, did have previous affiliation with such groups and still maintain their extremist tendencies. Hereafter, investigation must be promptly instituted on these unaffiliated white racial extremists and their activities closely followed. In conducting these investigations, you should be gtiided by instruc- _ tions set out in Section 122A, Volume IV, Manual of Instructions, which apply to investigations of the Klan and white hate-type organizations and associated individuals. Appropriate manual and handbook revisions will_ be forthcoming. Very truly yours, John Edgar Hoover Director. 11/10/69 SAC LETTER 69-67 = B= Mp bt neers | HW 55041 . Doold: 32969525 Page 817

ACADEMY TRAVEL AND SUBSISTENCE ‘LLOW- ANCES -- As you vere advised by SAC Letter 68-47(A), travel and subsistence expenses were made available under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 for local law enforcement: officers from the United States attending the FBI National Academy. Officers attending in Fiscal Year 1970 received travel and $16 per day Pubsistence allowances from the regular FBI appropriations. Since we assist_officers in obtaining housing accommodations. and encourage them to share expenses while attending the National Academy, we feel that the $16 a day allowance is sufficient at the present time to handle their expenses while in Washington. The most recent National Academy class felt that $16 a day was sufficient to handle their expenses. We will, of course, reevaluate this matter from time to time and in the event there is any change, you will be advised. The $16 a day per diem rate will apply to any other officers attending FBI-sponsored schools in Washington, D. C., wherein travel and subsistence allowances are authorized. 12/9/69 SAC LETTER 69-73 ~4- i,
(D) TITLE Ill OF THE OMNIBUS CRIME CONTROL AND SAFE STREETS ACT OF 1968 -- A review of the use of court-approved electronic surveil- lance pursuant to Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 shows that excellent results have been obtained through coverage of carefully selected locations. This legal evidence=satherine techmique-has-been effectively utilized in organized crime investigations, particularly those relating to e loan-sharking and gambling operations. For example, just one operation revealed those in control were handling $60, 000, 000 per year principally in lay-off action, In another instance, data from electronic surveillance enabled the Bureau to conduct 54 fruitful search-warrant raids involving an extensive interstate gambling operation. Insure Agent personnel handling investigations in connection with the Criminal Intelligence Program and other major criminal investiga- tions are thoroughly familiar with all aspects of Title i, They should be continually alert to the possibility of requesting use of this most effective investigative technique. As you know, it is mandatory that probable cause be established prior to approval of use of electronic surveillance. An analysis of affidavits which have been approved requesting use of electronic surveillance reveals that top echelon informants and other sources have made substantial contribu- tions in establishing probable cause. Keep in mind informants can be of material assistance in this regard, In the event you have a specific situation presenting a special problem with respect to use of electronic surveillance, communicate with the Bureau. It is your responsibility to make certain that whenever special circumstances are existent which completely justify use of electronic surveillance pursuant to Title I, appropriate action is taken by your office.

(E) CHARACTERIZATIONS OF ‘RACIAL AND MILITANT BLACK ORGANI- ZATIONS - REPUBLIC OF NEW AFRICA - REVOLUTIONARY ACTION MOVEMENT - STUDENT NATIONAL COORDINATING COMMITTEE -- Set forth below are up-to-date characterizations of the Republic _of New Africa and the Revolutionary Action Movement which “yeplace those in SAC Letter 69-50 for these organizations. In addition, there is set out below a characterization of the Student National Coordinating Committee, which should be handled in accordance with the instructions set out in above- mentioned SAC Letter. " REPUBLIC OF NEW AFRICA A source has advised that the Republic of New Africa (RNA) is an all-Negro organization founded in Detroit, Michigan, in March, 1968. Robert F. Williams, who was then residing in Peking, China, was named as its ~ President-in-Exile, Williams -fled-the United States in- - “MW 55041 1961 following issuance of a locai warrant for his arrest on a charge of kidnapping growing out of a racial incident in Monroe, North Carolina. He published and broadcast hate-type material in Cuba and China prior to his return to the United States in September, 1969. A second source has advised that the purpose of the RNA is to establish an independent black nation within the United States, demanding the States of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina in addition to $10,000 per black citizen as payment for 400 years of. ancestral slave labor. A third source advised on March 14, 1969, that an army of the RNA, known as the Black Legion, dedicated to black freedom and committed to the concept of systematic armed revolution, has been established. Black Legion members are expected to participate in military training and engage in firearms practice. The RNA plans to establish an underground Black Legion in addition to an aboveground Black Legion in order to avoid detection by the police. “SAC ‘LETTER 69- 13 " -6- Boeld: 32989525 Page 832
According to this source, Black Legion members acting as bodyguards at a session of the Second National - Convention of the RNA in Detroit, Michigan, on March 29, 1969, were involved in a shoot-out with members of the Detroit Police Department which resulted-in-the-kilting-of-one~policeman and the critical wounding of another. | Sources: REVOLUTIONARY ACTION MOVEMENT \ “A source in November, 1964, made available a document which indicated that the Revolutionary Action Movement CRAM) was organized in 1963 by Afro-Americans who supported the revolutionary objectives of Robert F. Williams and his concept of organized violence to achieve the liberation of Afro-American people in” the United States. Williams fled the United States in 1961 following issuance of a local warrant for his arrest on a charge of kidnapping growing out of a racial incident in Monroe, North Carolina. He published and broadcast hate-type material in Cuba and China prior to his return to the United States in September, 1969. According to this document, RAM oriented its program to education, political revolution and the organization of a black political party with revolutionary objectives, recog- nizing the need for "black revolution" that could and would seize power. This source in Séptember, 1964, advised that RAM is dedicated to the overthrow of the capitalistic 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. 12/9/69 ae - SAC LETTER 69-73 , -T- ar-voorr—pvenessssessas—nageess
including the state crime of Advocacy of Criminal Anarchy. In September, 1969, a second source advised that RAM has ceased to exist in the New York City area since the arrests of some of its leaders and members in 1967 on a number of charges In October, 1969, a third source advised RAM had ceased to exist in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which along with New York City had been.its main sphere of activity.

Under the leadership of Stokely Carmichael, who served _aS National Chairman during the period 1966-67, SNCC evolved from a civil rights oriented group into’ a full-blown black revolutionary organization. A publication entitled "1967 High Tide of Black Resistance" indicates the year 1967 was considered by SNCC as a historic milestone for the liberation of black people in the United States and the year that revolutionaries throughout the world began to understand more fully the impact of the black movement. The publication declared that "liberation will come only when there is final destruction of this mad octopus--the ~ capitalistic system of the United States with all its life- nO sucking tentacles of exploitation and racism that choke the 42/9/69 - SAC LETTER 69-73 Be W535 O4)-—Doete 3 2e8G525 Page O34 .
people of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The realities of black life, together with the recognition instilled in SNCC workers, forced its members to further popularize the legitimacy of self-defense and rebellions when oppression became too great." A-second source advised that H> Rap Brown succeeded —-———_ Carmichael as National Chairman of SNCC in May, 1968, and served in that capacity until June, 1968, at which time SNCC reorganized,- creating ten deputy chairmen in an effort to relieve pressure by law enforcement. In April, 1969, SNCC moved its national headquarters from Atlanta, Georgia, to New ‘York City, where it is presently located. H.

(F) STUDENTS FOR/A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY - SUBVERSIVE ORGANIZATION CHARACTERIZATION -- Set forth below is a current characterization of Students for a Democratic Society which should be utilized in the future when it is necessary to characterize this organization in investigative-reports-and other .types..of:communications._. _ STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY A source has advised that the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), as presently regarded, came into being at a founding conventionheld June, 1962, at Port Huron, Michigan. From an initial posture of "participatory democracy” the line of the national leadership has revealed a growing Marxist-Leninist adherence which currently calls for the building of a revolutionary youth movement. Concurrently, the program of SDS has evolved from civil rights struggles to an anti- Vietnam war stance to an advocacy of a militant anti-imperialist position. To yines China, Vietnam and Cuba are regarded as the leaders of worldwide struggles against United States imperialism whereas the Soviet Union pO is held to be revisionist and also imperialist. At the June, 1969, SDS National Convention, Progressive.— Labor Party (PLP) forces in the organization were expelled. Asa ‘result, the National Office (NO) group maintained its National Head- quarters at 1608 West Madison Street, Chicago, and the PLP faction set up headquariers in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This headquarters subsequently moved to Boston. Each group elected its own national officers, which include three national secretaries and a National Interim Committee of eight. Both the NO forces and the PLP forces claim to be the true SDS. Both groups also print their versions of "New Left Notes" which sets forth the line and the program of the - particular faction. The NO version of "New Left Notes" was recently printed under the title “The Fire Next Time” to achieve a broader mass appeal. Two major factions have developed internally within the © NO group, namely, the Weatherman or Revolutionary Youth Movement (RYM) I faction, and the RYM I] faction. Weatherman is action-oriented upholding Castro's position that the duty of revolutionaries is to make revolution. Weatherman is regarded by RYM II as an adventuristic, 12/9/69 a SAC LETTER 69-73 - 10- — B & ocTd:32989525 Page 836 |

They advocate that an alliance between workers and students is vital to the bringing about of a revolution in the United States. SDS: regions and university and college chapters, although operating under the outlines of the SDS National Constitution, are autonomous in nature and free to carry out independent policy reflective of local conditions. Because of this autonomy internal struggles — reflecting the major factional interests of SDS have occurred at the chapter level since the beginning of the 1969-70 school year.
