foreign counterintelligence information.

are listed below by document number with the information

to be released. The status of informants and sources, if found

through research, is noted after the name with living (L),

(U) The FBI provided written justifications presenting

the evidence available to protect the individuals, singular

the individuals or the FBI's/United States

• Government's foreign

relations, informants or operational aspects.

(U)
