The informant reported following this activity that the members of te "Minutemen" group who attempted to cause trouble in the area were dissuaded because of the law enforcement officers being present in the community. -6- HW 55000 Docld:32989523 Page 939 [nen RH PE en

For the past fotr and one~half years, the Sen Diego Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been operating an inferment who has been highly successful in penetrating the IMinutersn crganization in the San Diego, California, area. In this canacity, informant has performed an outstanding service to the qovernment and to the nation in acquiring ana making available a large volume cf infor- mation .regarding the activities of the Minuteman organization and related groups. In additicn, due +o the natvre cf his employment, infermant has been successfully targeted against other unrelated activities and has provided coverage snd penetration of a number of New Left oriented groups and | demonstrations. The scope of information provided by the pt source has often extended beyond the immediate Sten Diego area to other parts of the nation. He also has been instrumental in identifying and following the activities of many individuals who are of interest to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Informant has at all times been found to be stable, trustworthy and reliable.

At the show, contact was made with a third party, EUGENE BRIN, a reporter for the "Anaheim Bulletin" and an associate of members of the Minuteman organization in the Los Angeles, Californie, area, 1£ not a member himself. During the show, several arrests were made, some by the “lechol, Tcebacco and Fircarms Division (ATPD). Because of these arrests and long held attitudes on the part o£ ZVIS and BROWN that, although Communism anc Sccialism pose threats tc their security, the government of chis country is their real enemy, a decision was -reached by BROWN and DVIS that retaliation should be made against the government by bonbing TFD and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. Plans were made for the three tc meet again the following Saturday evening at a motel in or near the City of El Cajon, California, the exact time and place not then specified. At. this meeting, final plans would be made for the bombing end specific targets selected, cne in the Los Angeles, California, area which BROWN would handle, and one at San Diego, California, which DAVIS would handle. aa ILE ORE OREO TAN RAPED Se Ent RRR mR An AE PERRIN NIN then IE REN Fenty te in apparent furtherance of this scheme, DAVIS délivered to the informant on two cccasions, two metal ammunition cans for storage and safekeeping. These cans were found tc contain several pounds of TNT explosives, 18 hand ° grenade fuse assemblies, two rifle grenades, anproximetely 275 blasting caps of various sizes and types, a military hand illuminating grenade, a number of parts for converting M1 and M-15 rifles to the corresponding M-2 and 1%16 fully automatic weapons and other miscellanecus items. This material was turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation by the informant on June 25, 1971, and was in turn given to ATFD for, possible use as evidence by that agency. ASsistant U.S. Attorney STEPHEN G. MELSON, then Chief of the Complaint Section, U.S. sttorney's Office, San Diego, California, was contacted on dune 25, 1971, and stated that, as then developed, the facts in tnis case did not represent a prosecutable viclation and that additional ~ 2D om HW 35000 DoctId: 32989523 Page’ 1009

For as yet unexplained reasons, subject BROW did not appear for the meeting on the evening of June 26, 1971, and has not subsequently been seen or heard from by either the informant or subject DAVIS. Informant has advised that to his knowledge no additional plans have been made or work done toward carrying out the above-described bombings : On July 20, 1971, subject DAVIS requested that the hand illuminating orenade included in the explesives given by him to the informant, be returned to him cn the weekend of July 24 —~ 25, 1971, indicating he hed some use for the weapon but not elaborating further cn tne matter. O-7 On July 23, 1971, following consultation with Assistant U.S. Zttorney ROBERT P. RISSO, newly appointed Chief of the Criminal Complaint Section, and with representatives of the San Diego ZATFD office, authorization was granted by RISSC and by BTEFD fcr the hand illuminating grenade to be returned tc DsAVIS through the informant. This was only to be done on the condition that the illuminating grenade was effectively deactivated. ch -At this same time, RISSO stated he saw no possible way to obtain successful presecution of DAVIS in this matter. Furthermore, he aévised thet he would in no way avthorize return of the remaining items of explosives to DAVIS. On July 23, and 26, 1971, the source pointed out chat DAVIS' request that che hand illuminating crenade -be returned to him points up the fact that his request fer other parts or all of the items ent rusted by him te the informant is imninent. Because of his asscciation with DVIS, whora the inficrmant believes to be bordering on being mentaliy irrational, infermant is convinced that for whatever reascn, when it becomes necessary for him to tell DAVIS he cennot return these materials tc him it will beceme obvious to DAVIS that the informent is exactly that or has in some other way betrayed him, and that DAVIS will then take reprisal of a violent nature against the infornant and his family.

Informant has stated a personal preference fcr relocation at Boise, Idaho, which he feels would be a safe location as it is not a place to which he would be expected to go. On July 27, 1°71, Special Investigator STEVE LOGAN, ATFD, Sén Diego, was contacted regarding the matter of relocating the informant. LOGAN statec that he was not in a position to make a determination on a cuestion of that nature but stated he did not believe that 4zTFD would accept such a responsibility unless the informant had served as a witness in an ATFD prosecution. .

With regard to the remark cf the informant's father as to his "friends" in Washington, D.C., the inference of this remark was interpreted as being that if the FBI did not help SD 1155<R as to relocation, Mr. GODFREY might seek the assistance of his "friends" in Washington.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION In Reply, Please Refer to San Diego, California File No. | BW 55000 August 2, 1971 JERRY LYNN DAVIS; EUGENE BROWN The following is information in addition to our communication dated July 27, 1971: On July 26, ig7l, the informant who has furnished the previous information in this case, was approached on the subject of relieving him of custody of certain explosive materials previously furnished to him by subject DAVIS, by the use of a search warrant for the explosives at his home. The search warrant, it was felt, would serve the purpose of explaining to DAVIS why this informant could not produce. the explosives. After lengthy consideration, the informant declined to accept this suggestion as a workable solution to the problem. The informant is convinced that regardless of the reason given, when he advises DAVIS he no longer has possession of the explosives, DAVIS's anger will cause him to become irrational to the point that he would commit some act or acts of violence against the informant or his family. Informant continued to be of the opinion that- due to the fact the explosives could not be made available for return to DAVIS, the only safe course of action for him and his family would be relocation in an area where the informant and his family would be out of DAVIS's reach. On July 28, 1971, the informant's parents tele- phonically contacted the San Diego Division of the FBI. They advised that based on their knowledge of JERRY LYNN DAVIS, and other individuals with whom their son had been associating, they felt his concern for the personal safety of both himself and his family was completely justified. The parents advised that they contemplated moving tothe state of Hawaii in the near future for reasons of health. }a7- 17 Ao on om // ? .

During this conversation, the informant's father advised he (the father) has friends in Washington, D.C., and that if it appeared help might be necessary in obtaining authorization for relocation and the securing of employment for the informant, he would be glad to contact these people for any assistance they might be able to render. On July 28, 1971, the informant was recontacted at which time he stated he had continued to give the matter of relocation considerable thought. He pointed out that his parents have, for some time, been trying to convince him of the desirability of moving to the state of Hawaii. He explained ‘that his parents have resided and visited in that state several HW 55000 times, and are contemplating moving there permanently in the near future for health and business reasons. Informant advised he personally continues to feel that relocation at Boise, Idaho, would be more advantageous to him. He stated he would appreciate assistance from'the Federal Bureau of Investigation in finding employment there. Informant further advised that the home in which he lives at San Diego is being purchased through a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan and has a current market value of approximately $20,000. He said that subsequent to making the original estimate of $1,500 to $2,000, as the cost of relocating him to another place, the points required for liquidating FHA loans have raised from 2 to 10. -~2- bocld:3299952353 Page‘1015 seearta ener aya nasauacannaatenapaamaamerem iehananamnnaneed aemaaremedmanenmmmmatemtetadiine anpadaamek ates uadenddiadidetantte tackle tania anata tet ainitsints wade anette nae
