Had the convention occurred within 30 days after the President made his announcement that he was not going to run for reelection and after the Viet Nam peace talks started in Paris, I feel that we might not have had serious violence as these two occurrences took much of the steam out of many of | the organizations comprising the "New Left", Their airevtion at that time was primerily against President JOHNSON and ‘against Viet Nam and much of the steam went out of their ‘programs following these two announcements, ™ It is our observation, however, that these "New Left" organizations have now had time to redirect their programs and are now concentrating primarily on demonstrations and activities against Vice President HUMPHREY, characterized by them as the "Dump Humphrey Campaign". The fact that the <> tlwar still continues in Viet Nam, has again given emphasis to the organizations which exist on the basic theme of anti- ,Viet Nam, I am thinking particularly of such organizations }as the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Viet , «+ :Nam, Students for Democratic Society, Student Mobilization ’ iCommittee to End the War in Viet Nam and the Youth International Party (Yippies). ~ GC rh GEO, 3/- Bureau ‘a 1 ~- Chicago - SMAI Nae rine MWS s winn ‘2 (4) REC 43 16 AUG 20 1968 f ; ' Campmennnes mul recon a YS a glenn me Z ot ter dissenty- Perea , response to your reauess and, is 2, Fam) manag 0, juke id > WC’ (OUT ee 7 cy tel peut : a “yp ‘Committee.

As a result of the above request, SAC, Chicago, and Supervisor RICHARD L. STRAIN met briefly with Mr. WARREF CHRISTOPHER and Mr. WES POMEROY of the U.S, Department of / eS§ Justice, Washington, D.C., in the presence of USA FOREN in 2 aS is offices. 583 Mr. CHRISTOPHER was most congenial and expressed TS s his high regard fox the FBI and asked for a current evaluation Sas of activities in the Chicago area which could possibly affect + Qs the Democratic National Convention (DNC) being held the last” res § week of August, 1968. Mr. CHRISTOPHER was advised that all STs information has been previcusly furnished to him by lctterhead BRs memoranda and was in his possession and he was assured all Sry 8 information coming to our attention would be immediately e8'8 furnished to the Department and to the USA in Chicago. A brief sss discussion of current trends followed relative to current intel~ Sesh ligence regarding the activities of anti-war and Negro militant BERs organizations which have proposed disruptive i... at the DNC. ; S22 Ba At gne point in the discussion mentzon was made of the : ae fact that the fYouth International Party, aka /Yippies,, was currently f yes holding talks lwith the city anes tran i an ertort te obtain | SPREE necessary park permits to have their followers live and sleep in sss one of the Chicago area.parks during the week of the convention and RE eo hold a "happening" which the Yippies referred to as the "Festival SOS § of Life.''

CG 1000-44963 For the Bureau's information, Sgt. JOSEPH GRUBISIC, Intelligence Section, Chicago PD, advised previously that he had learned from DAVID STAHL of the Mayor's Office, Chicago, ~- that they had received a telephone call, a couple of days ago, from one WES POMEROY of the U.S. Attorney General's Office, to the effect that the Attorney General wanted the Chicago city officials to give every consideration to the granting of the permits requested by the Yippies. Sgt. GRUBISIC was unable to comment on the feeling of the city administration to this request but was of the opinion that such permits would not be granted as requested. Sgt. GROUBISIC based his opinion on the fact that four repre- sentatives of the Yippies, from New York City, had gone to the office of the Deputy Superintendent of the Chicago PD and had requested immunity from arrest for all Yippies during the convention for crimes around the possession of narcotics. The Yippies stated that any arrest would cause the Yippie community to cause large scale riots, and the blame of any riots resulting from such arrests would fall on the Chicago Pp. These representatives of the Yippies were advised in no uncertain terms that the laws of the City of Chicago would be strictiy enforced fairly on all persons and that no _ one would be granted any immunity during this period. The Bureau's at@mtion is invited to the August 9, 1968, issue of the "Daily World," daily publication of the Communist Party, USA (CP), wherein an article appeared on page one captioned "Rallies Will Ring Demo Convention" written by fC, . CARYL /DAVIAU, current member, CP of Illinois, in which the “perty reporgter indicates that the jNational Mobilization Committee to iy the War in Vietnam,which is working around the clock to mobilize demonstrations against the convention,has petitioned the Justice Department to investigate the Chicago Police to determine if there is any conspiracy to deprive "us" of our full civil liberties. . Chicago will continue to.follow these matters closely and immediately advise the Rureau, and continue to disseminate all information of intelligence collected to interested agencies. No recommendation is being made nor is Chicago involving itself in any plans affecting the issuance of the abovementioned park permit. a ~Q,- aw 55096 Doold:32969550 Page 84 ‘ RCN cere

| CG 100-44963 As the Bureau is aware, Chicago is in receipt of , information from confidential scarces indicating a potential for demonstration arising out of the "New Left" calling for direct confrontation with the Chicago Police Department as a diversionary tactic for a "crash-in" at the convention Site. sources have also reported independent action on the part of individuals to cause some form of "sabotage" activity inside \ the convention itself. Information received from confidential , informants in other divisions indicates attempts on the part \ of dissident young people not organizationally affiliated with ‘ the "New Left", to hire 50 buses out of New York to bring ; demonstrators to Chicago and a caravan of militant Latin i Americans to come from the Miami, Florida area to Chicago for , the specific purpose of disrupting the Democratic National “ Convention, i The Chicago area activists in the Youth International Party are currently planning a "Festival of Lights" in one of the parks on Chicago's lakefront during the period of the Democratic National Convention. This ‘“Festivai of Lights" | characterized by Chicago area Yippie leadership as being peaceful to Show America thut there is an alternative to the "festival of death", or the Democratic National Convention. However, , sources report that there are elements within the Youth Inter- national Party which are calling for direct confrontation with the Chicago Police Department during the "Festival of Lights". ~ There is a very definite indication that more and , more plans are being made by these groups to cause violence and - ! trouble and undoubtedly this will increase even more as we approach the time of the convention. I strongly feel that we must uSe every possible means at our command to insure that ‘the Director, the President of the United States and other pertinent officials are furnished every possible piece of-.intelligence information which we can gather from any source, I am specifically asking for the services of two Special Agents who proved during their assignment, in Chicago that they are expecially well qualified to handle informants and make contacts in the "New Left" area. They proved during their assignments in Chicago that they have the knowhow, the interest, the dedication and the personality to be highly successful in NW 55096 Docld: 32989550 Page #6 TUS SARE AND KPO ANNE CEM treeneremen ere meee etme tate OE OE RENNER Ae.

The following is a summary of a five page report, dated “/19/74, furnished by Mary Jo Cook, former FBI infornant, A meeting of the National Defense Committee of the VVAW/WSO was held on 6/7-9/74 at St. Louis, Missouri. Eleven identified individuals attended, The purpose was to ascertain the feasibility of setting up a National Defense Committee which would be operational throughout the United States. As concerns VVAW/VWSO, the meeting sought to advise members that the .organization's Defense Committee will take steps to secure the release or acquittals of any members arrested. A representative from the National Collective in Chicago talked about the Gainesville 8 in a derogatory | manner, implying the Government did not try the Gainesville 8 for purely political reasons, but that the leader and some others plannéd some kind of illegait aciivity. He «isc said if there had been no Agent provocateur there would never have been a trial and that the National Collective would not have permitted violent activity. 17 items were handed out, a large portion of which were reprints from national and "movement" publications covering such topics as how to avoid being questioned by the FBI, - One of these, on jury selection, is attached. ~ 45 NW 55096 Docld: 32999550 Page i100

On 5/17/61 Rowe stated that the Klan would try to intercept a bus which was due to arrive in Birmingham, Alabama, at 11 P.M. on 5/17/61. He further stated that Klansmen should intercept the bus on the highway and give all persons present, whether black or white, an opportunity to get off. They would be allowed to enter privately owned automobiles and have a safe journey to the nearest town. Rowe was. advised by another Klansman that those who refused to leave the bus would be beaten. On June 4, 1962, Rowe furnished copies of five documents expected to be distributed by Klansmen in order to discourage voters from voting for certain candidates who allegedly supported various civil rights groups. During March, 1962, Rowe furnished information regarding a local Klan meeting at which 23 TELETYPE UNIT [_] GPO ; 1975 © - §69-920 Page i108

During July, 1962, Rowe adviced that a Klansman told a select groun of other Klansmen that “it looks as if the Negroes should he stopped new.” This group of Klansmen was told that police officials had promised them protection and that a high tate official would pardon them if arrested. This Kiansman further advised that if a particular "militant Negro Integrationist" would appear at a certain restaurant with other Negroes he should he attacked and killed. Instructions were also issued by this Klansman that if this “militant Negro Inteqrationist" did not appear at this restaurant but sent other Meqroes to stage a sit-in, then there would be no killing. He stated that these Negroes should be beaten with chains and clubs instead. During October, 1964, Rowe reported on Klan dis- cussions regarding a plan to handle alleged “race mixing” at a local night club. Also discussed was a plan by Klansmen to bomb this night cluh. -~ 2 Page i109

BUREAU HANDLING OF INFORMANT On 4/17/64, the Bureau advised SAC, Birmingham, to immediately instruct Rowe to withdraw from his position as squad leader of an "action squad.” Sstc, Birmingham, was further advised that in the event Rowe does not desire to withdraw from this leadership position, he should be discontinued as an informant. On 4/18/64, Rowe was advised by the Birmingham Office that he must remove himself as a squad leader of an “action squad." On 5/4/64, the Pureav advised SAC, Birmingham, that “in those cases whore you have an informant who is a member of a violent squad...you should insure that the informant understands he is not to direct, lead, or instigate any acts of violence." It was also pointed out that informant should be instructed to avoid participation in any act of violence. IIL. KLAN VIOLENCE AT THE BIRMINGHAM BUS DEPOT 5/14/61 By letter from the Bureau to 23 field offices, it was stated that a civil rights organization in- tended to make a nonviolent attempt to complete integration of bus service and related public accommodations in the South during the month of ' NW 35056 Doocld: 32989550 Page i110

Memorandum to Mr. Beimont RE: EUGENE THOMAS , ET AL OBSERVATIONS OF GENERAL INVESTIGATIVE DIVISION | : 2 The Bureau is currently paying Gary Thomas Rowe , : $16.00 per day subsistence in lieu of expenses This figure i was initially decided upon after discussion with the Depart.Lent, and with the Department's approval, as it was recognized that the informant had to be removed from the Birmingham area for his protection and safety. The Department pointed out that it would not be desirable to make any lump sum or large - payment .to the informant so long as he might be called upon testify, as any such large payments might be construed to in court as a payment for his testimory, whereas payment of his living expenses can readily be justified as a necessity. ‘ Cae Wilkins which In tne trial of subject Collie Leroy began 53-65 and resulted in a hung jury, the ‘Bureau was called upon to produce a record of payments to the informant. In a future trial, it is reasonable to expect that we will again be called upon to produce such a record, The payment of Rowe's this time amounting to over two thousand dollars jj debts at jpwould appear in this record of payments to Rowe, and we certainly could not agree ta pay such a large amount af this ll came without the Department's approval.

We could, with Department's approval, agree to payment of his smaller debts and monthly installments on these larger - debts as they come due. Sef TNT A A Esa STS PONTE RECOMMENDATION . In view of the above, it is recommended that Birmingham be instructed to submit a detailed accounting of Rowe's debts showing their basis, when they were contracted, _aue dates and a full breakdown of any installment contracts showing detailed schedule of payments.

Hotis met with Doug Marvin, Counselor to the Attorney General; Mark Wolf, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, and Michael EB. Shaheen , JUr., Special Counsel for Intelligence Coordination, concerning Mr. Levi's forthcoming appearance before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities. The Attorney General will have a prepared “statement which will probably deal with ° the future relationship between the Bureau and the Department . and the kinds of contacts. needed to prevent abuse of authority. Mr. Marvin asked that the Bureau provide the following materials, which will be used in the preparation of a briefing book for Mr. Levi's. testimony: (I) A general synopsis of major areas of the Bw eau 'S activities. that have been investigated by. the Senate and House Select Committees. Mr. Marvin gave as examples, the "Official and Confidential" files, COINTELPRO, use of informants, and in- terception of mails. He said the purpose is. to identify those . topics which have been of primary concern to the Committees. | Mr. Marvin asked that the synopses. contain a jute statement of | . the Bureau's position on each ‘of the subjec - )4aS | (15 Reg Co? Hp (2). A general stitthent concerning the San Sational | structure and functions of the FBI, with particular emphasis on the responsibilities of the Inspection Division. This should include a description of how complaints are received, the review process, and any recent changes in the operations of that Division. In addition, the Attorney General wants a write-up of all investi- gations of alleged misconduct presently being. conducted by the “Bureau. He is particularly concerned about any incidents. that may have occurred during Mr. Levi's tenure as Attorney General, such ‘as. those in Richmond, Detroit, and Houston. te .

Legal Counsel. to: Mr. Adams - RE: . TESTIMONY. BY. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BEFORE ‘THE SENATE SELECT ‘COMMITTER ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES. ° (3).. A history of Congressional oversight of the Bureau. Mr. Marvin asked that we identify. those Subcommittees of Congress - which have exercised some oversight responsibilities over. the . Bureau. In particular, he asked that we review appropriations . testimony going back ‘to 1955 to determine whether we discussed . topics which ‘are presently of concern to the Select Committees.’ This will be very useful in demonstrating Congressional aware- _ness of these matters. He also asked that we furnish ‘a statement : of the Director's. position concerning Congressional oversight - which he has previously: expressed in speeches or testimony before Congress. (4) .A list of major investigative ‘techniques. employed by. the Bureau , specifying in each case whether we seek Depart- mental approval.’ . The more obvious. examples are electronic surveillance, use ‘of body recorders, pen registers, informants.,’ and photographic survelllances..: (5) A list of any formal or informal proposals which ‘have . been made. ‘concerning. organizational changes. of the FBI. ' Examples - are ‘the ‘creation of an Inspector General's Office in the Depart-— ment or elsewhere having review authority over the FBI, transfer of counterintelligence functions to another agency or. the creation . of a separate Division within the Bureau for. that function, trans- ‘fer of drug enforcement responsibilities to the Bureau, and the proposed statutory limitation on the term of the office for. the Director. It should be noted that several position papers concern- ing such topics were prepared at tthe request of former. Acting Director L. Patrick Gray which might be useful in responding. to. this request.. Although no date has been set for the Attorney General's - . testimony, it is expected that he will testify after Mr. Kelley's - appearance on 12/9/75. In view iof the limited time available, Mr. Marvin asked that we expedite ‘the jpreparation of these materials and furnish ‘them to: his office as soon as. ‘they are _ completed. It is requested that these materials be submitted . to the Office of Congressional Affairs, when completed, but no Later than cob, Friday, AL/28/75. . They should be submitted in insert form suitable ‘for inclusion in a letterhead memorandum. CONTINUED. -— OVER. ty v Nw 55096 Docld: 32939550 Page 139

As discussed in our meeting with Mr. Wanneall, we in- vite the Bureau to submit a memorandum on its intelligence informant and source program that could be inserted in , the record of the testimony of Bureau representatives at the hearing. This memorandum would enable the Bureau to- present to the Select Committee a complete description of its program and to discuss the issues of particular interest to the Committee members. These include, for “example, 1) the size, scope and purpose of the program, including an assessment of the pregram's cost and effective- ness, and the distinctions and relationships between the intelligence informant program and the Bureau's criminal informant activity; 2) the criteria that determine when an informant may be used in an organization or group; and 3) the program's command and control system, including the . limits that are placed on the activities of informants be and the type of information an informant or source is per- mitted to report to his handling agent and the Bureau. In addition, the memorandum would discuss possible leg- islation in the informant area, such as the imposition of a warrant requirement or additional administrative re- view. To permit the Select Comnittee members to study this memorandum in advance of the hearing and to discuss it with FBI representatives during their testimony at the pub lic hearing, we request, that he meniorandum be submitted by November 24, AMAA : “Ww pepe , og My : ou Pal ENE OS CRE .

Elliff, Domestic Task Force Director of thet **?— Senate Select Committee, advised at 9:15 a.m. on 12/3/75 that the following is a statement to be read by Senator Frank Church of that Committee on 1273/75. Le ad: Attorney General Kennedy authorized wiretaps in O 1962 on New York Times reporter Hanson Baldwin and his secretary and that lasted for about one month. In addition hee to the wiretap on New York Times reporter Hanson Baldwin in av Ann 1962, the Committee has received materials from the FBI re- pa flecting authorization by Attorney General Kennedy of a is wiretap on a reporter for Newsweek Magazine in 1961 during the investigation of another leak of classified information. Further materials reflected authorization by Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach for a wiretap on the editor of an anti- Communist newsletter in 1965, also during the investigation of a leak of classified information. The Committee has received materials from the FBI reflecting authorization by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy of wiretaps on at least six American citizens, including three Executive Branch officials, a Con- gressional Staff Member, and two registered lobbying agents for foreign interests. The materials also reflect that these wiretaps relate to an investigation of agents by foreign in- terests. to influence United States economic policies. } ELLif£ was advised by SA Paul V.
