(z} INTENSIFICATION PROGRAM (COVERAGE OF SOVIET-BLOC "LEGAL" NETWORKS) -- At the Internal Security - Espionage Conference held at the Bureau June 9-10, 1960, the Conference carefully considered our programs aimed at: Soviet ~bloc officials and official establishments such as the Double Agent, Defector and DESECO Programs. It was recognized that we have two. basic ___ objectives. Penetration of the intelligence organizations through the development of double agents; infdOrmantsj;~and sources, ete.,————— and neutralization through persona non grata acticn, prosecution, disruption, etc. In light of the developments subsequent to the U-2 incident, the Conference was of the opinion that the time is now ripe for the Bureau to redirect our approach to apply more pressure against the Soviet-bloc intelligence services in such a way as to have a neutralizing or disruptive effect. As a result of the recommendations of the Conference, the following action has been approved. Each agent handling investigations of Soviet- bloc officials in the United States should become thoroughly familiar with this information. oe 1. Persona non grata - Each double agent case should ro -be-carefuliy eva inated and, in. those instances where it appears that we cannot build the double agent into a long-term penetration operation, careful consideration should be given to recommending that the State Department ‘declare the Soviet-bloc principal persona non grata - accompanied by publicity. In those instances where — the State Department seeks our views as to persona non , grata action, the Bureau will not object to such action. . in cases involving temporary-type.dcuble agents with - Limited intelligence potential provided the action is accompanied by publicity. 2. Prosecution -- In those instances invciving Soviet- bloc officials who do not have strict diplcmatic immunity (as employees of Amtorg Trading Corporation and the United Nations Secretariat) our operations are to be directed toward prosecution wherever possible as a means of focusing public attention on Soviet~blcc espicnage even though the officials may thereafter be allowed to depart the United States rather than serve prison sentences. 3. Use of DESECO - Individuals should be recruited on a selective basis who have access to classified information to put in contact with Soviet-bloc officials. : When the orficials request the individuals to furnish BME “7/12/60 | re ate I ey i SAC LETTER NO. 60-34 -3-

(Specific Bureau authority should be obtained, however, before implementing the above.) | ee - 4, Physical survetllances——When-you learn that a Soviet-bloc intelligence official plans to depart for his home country, you should intensify your physical Ssurveillances on him until he departs and wherever possible a defection approach should be made both as a means of possible defection and as a disruptive tactic. (Specific Bureau authority should be obtained before making any approaches however.) 5. Soviet-bloc photography - In those instances where Soviet-bloc orficials are observed taking photographs of military installations or national defense facilities, you should give consideration to accosting them and confiscating the photographs under the espionage © Statute which prohibits pnotographs of rertain national defense installations. (Such action, of course, would be taken only with Bureau authority.) 6. Speeches and public appearances - All offices. . Should be alert to public appearences and speeches ,made by Soviet--bloc officials in this country. The Bureau should be advised in each instance. It is necessary that each office obtain Bureau clearance prior to initiating the above action. You should, therefore, com- municate with the Bureau by appropriate means depending upon the urgency of the situation and in addition keep the Bureau advised as to the results of any action taken. 7/12/60 SAC LETTER NO. 60-34 (F) *SUBVERSIVE ORGANIZATION CHARACTERIZATIONS ~ INTERNAL SECURITY - C Set forth below are up-to-date thumbnail sketches of organizations and publications, each of which is of use to various field offices.

In January, 1957, a source advised that Elijah Muhammad had described his organization on a nationwide basis as the “Nation of Islam" and "Muhammad's Temples of Islam. On May 18, 196C, another source advised that the Nation of Islam (NOI) is an all-Negro organization which was originally organized in 1930 in Detroit, Mechigan. Muhammad, its present
national leader, claims to have been selected by Allah, the Supreme Being, to lead the so-called Negro race out of slavery in the wil- - Gerness of North America by establishing an independent black nation in the United States. Members following Muhammad's teachings and his interpre- tation 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 Statés3 and thet 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 related that Muhammad, upon advice of legal counsel, had 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 Covernment. However. he did not indicate any fundamental changes in the teachings of his organization. “- ; On May'16, 1960, another source reported that Muhammad, early in July, 1958, had decided to de-emphasize the religious aspects of the teachings of Islam and to stress the economic benefits to be derived by thosé Negroes who joined the NOI. This policy change, according to Muhammad, would help him to acquire additional followers and create more interest in his programs.

Members of the FOI are required to participate in military drill and are afforded the opportunity to engage in judo training. The FOI is . governed by a military system wherein the members are controlled by general orders similar to those issued by regular military organizations. ‘. . .

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. , On May 12, 1960, the source advised that this minority group had chosen the name Workers World Party with headquarters located at 46 West @lst Street, New York, New York.

This unit, known as a Confidencer; is @ noise-cancelling microphone ~ manufactured by the Roanwell Corporation, 180 Varick Street, New York 14, New York. It is designed as a direct replacement for the standard Fl or Tl mouthpiece microphones used in Bell System and Western Electric instruments. There are two models, the R-CO for the 200, 300 and 400 series | telephones and the C-500 for the 500 type set. The Confidencer serves to cancel out much of the outside or background noise normally picked up by the regular microphone. At the same time, the voice spoken directly into it is transmitted with clarity and proper volume. Sound originating at an angle to the unit is reduced considerably in volume, -so the mouthpiece must be held directly in front of the user's lips and not off to advantage where background noise interferes with the intelligi- bility of conversation or where it is undesirable that any back- ground conversation .be overheard by. an outside party. This may occur at locations such as reeeption desks, Number Three Register desks and radio dispatching rooms. SAC LETTER NO. 60-36 os ~ ys
You are authorized to use Confidencers at those locations where their features will serve a definite purpose.
