AIEMORANDUM FOR MR. CALLAHAN

ME. ADAMS

RE:

SURREPTITIOUS ENTRY INVESTIGATION

On May 27, 1976, Assistani Attorney General Stanley Pottinger,

Cwil Fights Division, called me. He made the following points.

1.

He assed me about our identification of the 15 Agents who are

to work on the project. I told him I thought we could have the

list by at least next Weinesday and if earlier, we would cer-

tainly provide it. Mir. Pottinger said he wanted to interview

the people and,as was related in his conference with us,

narrow it down to 12.

He said he had been deliberating on our question as to whether

or not it was wise to use Eureau Agents in this project for

investigative purposes. We both agreed that it would be well

that we do use Bureau Agents. He said, however, that this

might be a subject for inter deliberation in the event we change

our mindo.

At the time of our conference, we discussed the need to have

one of the group of Agents designated as the lead Agent or

supervisor over the entire squad. According to Mr. Pottinger,

this was still undetided in his camp. I told him, however, I

felt this was absolutely necessary and could be a situation similar

to the one whercin Assistant Director Richard Ash is the leader

of the group investigating the U. S. Recording Company matter.

At this point Nir. Pottinger said Mr. Cardner had talked with

Mir. Dowd, who related a very satisfactory relationship existed

in his assignment.

Mr. Pottinger then addrossed the matter of whether or not it

was felt necessary to inform the Church Committee of the con-

templated investigation. He said this has rot as yet been decided.

Memorandum for Messrg. Callahan and Adams

May 27, 1976

He has consulted with Mike Shaheen and probably will arrive

at an answer very soon. Il the need to so notily does emerge,

Mr. Pottinger said he would suggest that the Senate Select

Committee be the Congressional agency to be notified and that

two or three men be informed. One should be the Represontative

of the Majority, one of the Minority, and he is of the opinion now

that Senator Church probably should be informed. The notitica-

tion will be oral and they will be asked, if it is decided to notify

them, that they maintain all matters confidential.

5.

Vir. Pottinger said he has prepared a reactive press relcase

which is to be released only upon inquiries as to the activities

which have been brought to the inquiring reporters attention.

He read the release, and I found it to be satisfactory as it is

short and really says only that an investigation is being con-

ducted but that no further details can be given.

6.

He then commented about the matter of canvass of our Agents to

determine if any Agonts know of any curroptitious chiry which has

not been reported.

He said that it has been determined by them

that this decision is to be ours.

He said, however, that if it is

decided that such a canvass should be made, they in the Depart-

ment should be informed prior to the time of the canvass.

By

virtue of his comments, I had the distinct feeling that he felt

this was an undue and unnocessary enlargement of the scope of the

inquiries. He said he felt such enlargement would be stimulative

of contentions which might possibly distort the thrust of the in-

vestigation. I thercupon told him this was one meacure which

was contemplated by us initiated as a possibility by us, and we

had not made any accision at this point as yet. I did tell him,

nowever, that i felt that based on his comments, perhaps it

would be better not to conduct the canvass at this time. He then

told me that he wanted to emphasize that it was our decision to

make, but he îelt it incumbent upon him to givé us some idca

about possible ramifications.

I would like to discuss these matters with you at the earliest oppor

tunity.

November 12, 1969.

it identifies the

specific inmate who was interviewed con-

fidentially.

A footnote on page 19-23 lists memorandum from the

Chicago Field Office to FBI Headquarters, March 14, 1969. The

date of this memorandum should be March 24, 1969.

the last paragraph and a tootnote on page / contain

the name of SA Alan Stephens. In addition, SA Stephens

and the name of SA Roy Martin Mitchell appear in footnotes on

page 58.

Neither of these individuals was a Section Chief or

of higher rank; their names should, therefore, be deleted.

The last sentence at the top of page 58 which reads,

"The Bureau and GIU both maintained paid informants in the BP?,

shared informant information, and coordinated the planning ano

execution of raids against the Chicago BPP" is not factual.

This Bureau did not coordinate the planning and execution of

raids against the Chicago BPP, with the GIU. This sentence

should be changed to read "The Bureau and the Chicago Police

Department both maintained paid informants in the BPP, and the

Bureau provided informant information to the Chicago Police

Department, which was used by the Chicago Police Department

in raids on the BPP."

The last sentence on page 57 and continued on page 58

This is incorrect and

should be changed to

SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES

Police Department raid on BPP headquarters, Chicago.

Thornton

and Blunt telephonically furnished the advice to Elliff and

Jefferson as indicated above.

In addition, Thornton mentioned to

Jefferson the fact page 43 and the first three paragraphs of

page 44 concerns a COINTELPRO activity which was directed at

the BPP "Breakfast for Children" Program.

This information

makes a specific reference to Father Frank Curran, San Diego,

California, who was permitting his church to be used as a serving

place for the BPP Breakfast Program. The Bureau sent an

anonymous letter to the Bishop of the San Diego Diocese in-

forming him of Father Curran's activity.

In addition, our

San Diego Field Office placed three telephone calls protesting

Father Curran's support of the BPP Program to the Auxilary

Bishop of the San Diego Diocese.

Following this,

Father Curran

was transferred to "somewhere in the state of New Mexico for

permanent assignment."

While this is not a matter relative to

classification there is a strong inference of privacy here

which was brought to Jefferson's attention. It was recommended

Father Curran's name be deleted from this report. Jefferson

advised this matter had been discussed with Father Curran by a

member of the SSC and his permission was obtained for utilizing

his name in this report; therefore, no change will be made by

SSC regarding this.

Simultaneously with the Bureau's review of this

draft, Stephen Blackhurst, Assistant Special Counsel for Intel-

ligence Coordination, Department of Justice, arranged to have

the Department review this draft in view of

pending litigation

in Chicago relating to the BPP.

Blackhurst advised SA Thornton

that he is in full agreement with the changes negotiated and

they included those which the Department would have desired.

On 5/4/76 Mr. Blackhurst furnished four additional

pages, to be included in the SSC's report which pages were

reviewed by SA Thornton and no changes were necessary.

PURPOSE: To advise of press inquiry made of writer re

FBI/Senate Select Committee (SSC).

DETAILS: At 4:15 p.m.,

5/26/76, writer received a telephone pe

call from an individual who identified himself as DavidiMartin

(phonetic) of the Associated Press, the ensuing conversation

being nearly verbatim as follows. MARTIN: I would like some

information about the files turned over to the Church Committee.

PHILLIPS: I don't discuss any business over the phone. Why are

you calling me? Where did you get my name? MARTIN: Aren!t you

in charge of FBI matters relating to the Church Committee?

PHILLIPS: I don't discuss any business over the phone. I

don't know who you are.

I suggest that if you have any inquiry

of the FBI you go through official channels which is to inquire

of our External Affairs Division. MARTIN: Well, if you can't

talk over the phone, would you be willing to meet with me?

PHILLIPS: No.. I again suggest you make your inquiry of the

External Affairs Division.

Immediately after the foregoing conversation, writer

advised H. A. Boynton, Deputy Assistant Director, External

AT.I, INFORMATION CONTAINTO

FIairs DIViSion, who indicated he would alert the appropriate

ersonnel in his Division.

Writer also determined from Barry

Ryan of the switchboard that the caller had asked for the

HEREIN IS UNGLASSIELAD

writer by name with no further comment and was thereupon

connected to the writer.

It will be recalled that in my memorandum to you

5/10/76 concerning an inquiry of the Bureau by Ron Ostrow of

a reference to the writer (but not by name) appeared in an SSC

report, the writer observed that it was not unlikely that the

report would serve as a springboard for media inquiry which

would reveal the writer's name as the Bureau Supervisor

The April 22, 1976, Final Idition of the

"'San Francisco Examiner" contains an article on page 18,

captioned "Panthers slam ex-leader Cleaver," which

attributes several statements concerning Eldridge Cleaver,

imprisoned head of the Black Panther - Cleaver Faction

(BrE-CF), to BPP Chairperson Elaine Brown.

Among the statements attributed to Brown is the

following "...His wife, Kathleen, was recently flown to

Washington at government expense and allowed to browse

through highly classified FBI documents."

A review of the SSC's advance copy of "The FBI's

Covert Action Program to Destroy the Black Panther Party"'

indicates that on April 8, 1976, Kathleen Cleaver, in

executive testimony before the SSC, testified concerning

TBI activity as it concerned the Black anther Party.

It would appear that the above-mentioned article refers

to the presence of Irs. Cleaver in Washington, D. G.,

on April 8, 1976.

For your information, at no time has this Bureau,

UNHECORDED COPY FILED IN

at the Headquarters level, had contact with Irs. Cleaver

for any purpose.

It appears that there is a strong possi-

bility Mrs. Cleaver may have been shown FBI documents,

before the SSC.

Panthers slam ex-leader Cleaver

Eldridge Cleaver's voluntary return from Paris to

the United States last year wasn't based on patriotic

leasons as much

as wanting "to get out of town."

preording to Black Panther Party Chairperson Slane

"We have evidence that Cleaver was engaged in

very shaky activities while in Paris,

" she said yesterday

in Oakland.

Refusing to elaborate on her accusations, Ms.

Brown said

only, "Cleaver's shaky activities were not

political. it was more like criminal .. it could have

something to do with drugs."

In a blistering attack on the former Panther

leader, who is in custody awaiting trial on charges

stemming from a 1962 Panther guntight with Oakland

police. Ms. Brown cailed Cleaver "the black communi-

ty's Patty Hearsl."

She said Cleaver was telling "lies about his formbr

comrades to improve his case."

Suecifically: Ms. Brown Charged that:

o Cleaver provided secret testimony to the Senate

Judiciary internal Sacurity Subcommittee last Febru-

18

ary "and be intends to provide more."

• His trife,

Kathleen, was recently

flown

to"

Washington at govertent expense and allowed 10

krowse through kignly classified ?BI documents.

• The Panther Party has a secret eyewitness who

heard Cleaver give orders from Algiers to execute a

party member in New Tork City in 1971. The "mystery

witness" will be named in a damage suit against the fBI

No be filed soon, Mis. Brown said

The new information about the 40-year-old ex-

consist author was disclosed, accoring to Ms. Brown,

UNITED STATES SENATE SELECT CONMITTEE

ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC)

Enclosed herewith is a copy of an article that

appcared in the "New York Tines" on April 23, 1976.

The enclosed article "Panel Finds F.B.I. Used

Journalists As Its Informers," by John Il. Grewdson of the

"New Yort Times,

" stated that the FBI "maintained a network

of confidential

infornors inside major neus organizations,

universities and charitable foundations,"

The article

mentions sources familiar with the Cormittce's report on

donestic intelligence and describes associations vith un-

nared nerbers of the news media and their relationship with

the FBI.

Ir. Crewdson has indicated in conversation vith

ropresentatives of the FBI that he has obtained a list of

sembers of the news nedia who had worked'as: informants for

the FBI.

He advised that the identities of these individuals

were disclosed to the Church Committec but that the Attorney

General had prevented the Church Cormittec fron intervieving

these individuals and also prevented the disclosures of their

identities by the Church Cornittee.

The article further describes the Cormittee's

findings with regard to the investigation of the Reverend

DI. Martin Luther King, JI.

It would appear that information Furniched to the

Conmittee by the FBI haspbeen leaked to nenbers of the

nevs media.

ITEM NUMBER 1

According to crewdson, he has been advised by

the Senate Select Committee (SSC)/triting the period

195.8 to 1966 Congressman John. Rooney of the House Appropriations

Subcommittee was continuously informad in detail by the

Late Director Hoover and other officials regarding

CONTEL operations directed against the Conmunist Party

and the Ku Klux Klan. Rooney, as well as other members

of the Subconmittee, knew more about the FBI's COINTEL

operations clan Attorneys General.

Comment:

This statement Is basically true. We have

located and furnished to ine SSC, and the Depastment,

exceipts from late Director Hoover's "off-the-record"

testiony before the House Subconmittee on appropriations

which was chaired by Rooney. Additionally, Former Assistant

to the Director John lohr and curzent Associate Director

Nicholas P. Callahan recall testimony before the Subcommittee

relaking to our COINTELPROS against the Communist Party.

and the Klan, and this has been fumished to the SSC. The

use of the word "continuously" and the statement that

•Roone), as well as other members of the Subcommirtee, knew more

about the FBI COINTEL operations then Attorneys General is

a subjectiva conclusion.

He did furnish a number of

Attorneys General, as well as other officials of the

Crewdson's infornation is that the 14 "bugs" that

were installed in the hotel and motel rooms of Di. Martin

ICEM NUMBER 3

Crewdson has indicated the Church Committee

was furnished names of FBI informants in the news media.

While the identity of these informants was

disclosed to

che Church Committee, the FBI; through the

attorney General,

prevented the Church Conmittee Erom interviewing these

Individuals and also restricted the disclosing of their

identities by the SSC.

Crewdson identified 10 news media

sources that he had identified through the SSC as being

informants in the news media.

Comment:

This statement is basically true and it highlights

a severe and flagrant violation of an understanding between

the FBI/Department and the SSC. Crewdson is talking about

"recipient sources" which may be described as individuals

who effected COINIALPRO actions in our behalf. mong these

were the 10 news media sources Creweson has Identified

and which he clains the identicies of. wich were furnished

him by the SSC.

When SSC Staff Members were permitted to review •

our caw COINIELPRO files, they made notes of the identities

of "recipient sources" including those employad with the

media. When we delivered documents to the SSC, at its

request,

we excised the names of these "recipient sources."

Thereafter, the SSC protested and also had interviewed ac

least one of the "recipient sources," which the SSC claimed

they did inadvertently. With regard to the excision of the

names of "recipient sources" in documents being furnished

the SSC, this was in concert with the agreement adopted

by Chairman Church and Attorney General Levi.

## Page 38

Subsequently, sporadie conversations and oral

requests were received to make "recipient sources" available

for interview by the SSC. In order to work out ground rules

regarding these interviews, several meetings were held with

the Comnittee and with Michael E. Shaheen, Jr., Special

Counsel. for Intelligence Coordination. : : The

• Attorney

Genexal expressed concern regarding the interview of

"reciplent sources," In fact, Attorney General Levi

met

with Chairman Church regarding this particular matter and

Senator Church agreed that there Hould be no interviews

without prior contact by the FBI with the source and the

agreement of the source to the interview. Subsequent to

this agreement, Church reneged.

Thereafter, a meeting was held in the office of

Shaheen on 10/23/76 with SSC and Departmant representativess

along with Mr. Adamsy M5. Daly, Me. Cregar, MI. Jarson and

Mix. Ryan of the Bureau.

Duxing the meeting a general

discussion was had to reach some accommodation as to the

means or the ground rules for interviewing "recipient sources."

Among the discussions was whether the FBi could contact

sources prior to his or her interview. At the conclusion of

the meeting, John Elliff was advised that the Bureau would

not acquiesce to the interview of "racipient sources"

without some statement Exom the Committee as to what use

they were going to make of the information that nay have

developed through this intewvier and whether they would

disclose the identity of the sources in its

reposts. This

position was supported by Shaheen. Subsequently, Messis, EllifE

and Ipstein both asked whethes the Bureau was agreeable to

the interviers of our "recipient sources" and were informed

by Mr. Daly that we were waiting for their decision as to

what use they were going to make of che information developed

during such an interview. Nothing further has been heard from the SSC on

this natter.

This matter has currently been discussed with

Paul Daly of Legal Counsel Division and he has agreed this

1s a breach of an oral agreement, which may possibly be

supported by written documents, by the SSC. It is believed

ITEM NUMBER 4

Crewdson indicates he determined from the SSC that the

EBI maintaned a nework of sources in educational instliutions, as

well as in nonprofit foundations. Richard larry of the Mellon

Foundation, Pittsburgh, was identilied by Crewdson as one of the

sources tho did several favors for the BI by dismissing individuals

in the T'oundation that the FBI disliked and by withhoiding funds to

organizations that the rBI disitied.

Comment:

As indicated in item Number 3, this is an example of the

disclosure by the SSC of the identity of a "recipient source." The

Mellon Foundation, through Larry, did edect counterintelligence

action in our bebalf. This is a deliberate leak at FBI source inioi

mation by the SsC in violation of an existing agreement. The

identitication of Larry to Crevason represents a most flagsant

example oû a deliberate SSC etiort to brea's down the confidential

relationship which exists between a law enforcement organization

and its sourceß.

It is belteved this violation by the SSC of an existing

agreement with the FB1/ Department should be strongly protested.

Crewison indicates the wirotap, which the late

Congressnan Hale Boggs claimed to have been installed on his

telephone by the FEI, was actually placed on Boggs' telephone

by his wife (now Congresswoman lindy boggs), who beiieved that

Boggs had a girifriend in Alexandria.

This viretap was

reportedly placed by private detectives, and the details

concerning this matter came to the attention of the FBI,

according to Crewdson.

COMMENT: Bufile 94-37804 contains voluminous .corespondence

concerning the allegation of the late Congressman Hale Boggs

that the FDI had tapped his telephone. This file contains

no information indicating the existence of

any wiretay being

placed on Boggs' telephone line, and contains

no information

Boggs' wife believed he had

a girlfriend. A review of other Bufiles containing references

to Hale Boggs disclosed no information thai rould support the

above allegation by Crewdson; however, in nider to make a

definite statement that bufiles contain no information

concerning the statement made by crewdson, a detailed file

review will have to be made.

THE F.B.I.

THEY'RE DAMNED IF THEY DO,

WE'RE BOMBED IF THEY DON'T

by ALICE WIDENER

What are we Americans going to do: Sit back and let the FBI intelligence operations

be zapped into impotence by Senator Frank Church and his Select Committee on Intelligence

Activities? If we do, then sure as fate the radical revolutionaries and subversives in our

midst will zap us into inability to defend our internal security.

The New York Times declared editorially, May 8, we should adopt the legislative program

recommended by the Church Committee for the FBI to "shut down its political intelligence

operations."

If we do that, then we'll have holes in our heads, figuratively and literally.

The New York Times declares that the FBI should be permitted to conduct preventive intelli-

gence operations "only in case of a clear threat of foreign spying or terrorism."

Anyone with a grain of common sense knows that by the time there exists a "clear" threat of

terrorism by radical revolutionaries, it is too late to stop that terrorism. What The Times

and the entire left-liberal establishment define as a "clear" threat is action not advocacy.

That is the absolutist position taken by all leftist factions supporting the "abolition" campaign

to strip our nation of all its internal security intelligence gathering capabilities by the House

and Senate, by the CIA and FBI, and by the Navy, Army and Air Force.

The abolition campaign against the FBI was started by the Communist Party, USA hand-in-hand

with the American Civil Liberties Union the moment that J. Edgar Hoover became Director

in 1924. Roger N. Baldwin, having spent a year in jail during World War I for violation of

the draft law, founded the American Civil Liberties Union in 1920.. Baldwin was so radical

that even socialist Norman Thomas described him as an "intellectual anarchist." Nevertheless,

it is Roger Baldwin's definition of free speech in America under the First Amendment to our

Constitution that has come to prevail. His definition, as set down in 1920, is: "Expression of

opinion, as we define it, includes any language unac-

companied by an overt act - that is, an act which in

itself is a violation of criminal law. ... For instance,

the advocacy of murder, unaccompanied by any act, is

within the legitimate scope of free speech."

Rales,

Let us make no mistake about that interpretation of

free speech. The interprctation maintains that the oniy

By such an interpretation, the FBI would not have the authority to investigate an Individual

who blatantly and openly ann

ces he or she is going to commit

rime --from kidnajing

y to assassination to violent ov

throw of our government.

In 1917, Roger Baldwin, a supporter of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, organized an imi-

tative "People's Council" in the United States and described his subversive technique in a

letter-to Louis Lochner.

"Do steer away from making it [the People's Council] look like a

Socialist enterprise," wrote Baldwin. "We want also to look like patriots in everything we

do. We want to get a lot of good flags, talk a good deal about the Constitution and what our

forefathers wanted to make of this country and to show that we are the fellows that really

stand for the

spirit of our institutions."

The technique of using our flag, Constitution and spirit of our founding institutions against us

for the purpose of destroying us has been used by Communists and by every radical leftist

organization in our nation without an iota of change for the last half century. Slowly, too,

Roger Baldwin's definition of free speech has become the virtual law of the land and was codi-

fied by the Warren Supreme Court which, during the period 1953-1969, struck down one after

another of our internal security laws in what are known as "the Communist cases."

It was this situation that faced J. Edgar Hoover in the twilight of his career during the violert

period 1965-1971 when our nation

was at war in Vietnam and was torn asunder internally by a

• racial civil rights struggle threatening to erupt into civil war.

Simultaneously, at this twi-

light time, every advanced nation in the free world, including our own, was struck by a so-

called "New Left" revolution instigated and directed at home and abroad by Old Left revolu-

tionaries such as John Abt and Herbert Aptheker of the Communist Party, USA, Ernest Mandel,

Secretary of the Trotskyite Fourth International, Professor Herbert Marcuse, and similar

radical Marxist leaders past middle age.

As a writer on politics and economics, I followed closely the Marxist publications in our

country announcing radical revolutionary meetings and attended many of them. Here are direct

quotes of what was said, every word of which appeared in my newspaper columns, in U.S. A.

Magazine

or in Barron's National Business & Financial Weekly without a single challenge:

"The black lumpenproletariat should go to war now. The slogan we need is, 'Burn,

Baby, Burn!'"

Sylvester Leaks, Harlem Writer's Guild, biographer of Malcolm X, at

First Annual Conference of Socialist Scholars, September 12, 1965.

"That's an FBI man over there. We're going to get us two, next summer:

Just

to show it can be done. They can be hurt just the same as police."

Committee for Independent Political Action Conference, Chicago,

January 1966.

"Eventually, we seek to create a Communist society. We use the technique of

demands, always pushing and pushing on through demands, to an end where they

have to give in or fight against the revolution."

David Gilbert, Radical Education Project Conference, Princeton Uni-

versity, February 1967.

i struggle..Our position is -- tear it down because we don't want to be a part of

September 1967.

"Our movement is a movement which, in effect, is a total break with America."

Martin Jay, Fifth Annual Conference of Socialist Scholars, Hofstra

University, September 1969.

"We cannot permit any of the radical movement to be clamped down by the

government.

We, as revolutionary Communists, must defend all those taking

part in revolutionary action."

Stanley Aronowitz, Socialist Scholars Meeting, Town Hall, New York

City, 1969.

Despite the quibbling of the New York Times and American Civil Liberties Union, it is easy

to show how closely advocacy is followed by action. At the Radical Education Project meeting,

Princeton University, February 1967, Miss Edith Black of Union Theological Seminary announced

the formation of the North American Congress for Latin America (NACLA),

"I am a revolu-

tionist," she declared, "not just a Marxist, a revolutionist." She boasted about herself and her

associates, "What we're working on now is going to blow the whole CIA works."

It certainly did.

Recently, two multi-billion-dollar American corporations were the subjects of virulent attack

as monsters by NACIA. Subsequently, the names of two executives in these corporations

appeared on a death list marked for assassination by & West Coast revolutionary group. These

. executives cannot now lead their lives without a bodyguard. Many corporations, as well as other

American companies, are now forced to spend millions of dollars per year for security pro-

tection of their plants and personnel at home and abroad.

Among the NACIA sponsors, as shown on its letterhead, are such notorious radical revolution-

aries as: Dixie Bayo, Workers World Party associate and Activist supporter of Puerto Rican

independence; Paul Booth and Greg Calvert, former national secretaries of Students for a

Democratic Society; John Gerassi, on editorial board of Treason magazine published by the

Communist Free School of New York; Sharon Krebs, New York radical who stripped naked

during a New York banquet and presented the head of a pig to Senator William Fulbright during

a. "Crazies" disruption; and Richard Shaull, Professor of Ecumenics, Princeton Theological

Seminary, who told the Catholic Inter-American Cooperation Program in St. Louis, Missouri:•

"For an increasing number of Catholic young people there is only one hope: the organization•

of armed movements of national liberation, with all the sacrifice and bloodshed that involves. "

NACLA publications, as of March 1976, carry the address: Box 57, Cathedral Station, New

York, N.Y. 10025

and bear the labor

union bug "Local 209" which typesets the official

Communist Party, USA publications.

In September 1966, the Radical Education Project, which hatched NACLA, described in print

its revolutionary "International Intelligence Network"' and boasted, "Already, we have contacts

in Japan, most European countries, Canada, and with Guatemalan guerrillas, Vietnamese

rebels and neutrals, African nationalists and others." The stated aim of the International

Intelligence Network was "to increase the degree of coordination between their work and that

of the American movement."

That coordination is now so well organized that it is almost a commonplace news item to read

April 15 - May 15, 1976

## Page 46

about the kidnaping for ransom of American officials and business executives abroad by guer-

rillas and the destruction o

merican property at home and abr

by bombing and arson.

Nevertheless, the New York Times, the Church Committee and the American Civil Liberties

Union continue their unremitting "abolition" campaign against all our nation's intelligencc-

gathering governmental agencies. In addition, the abolitionists are now conducting a witch-

hunt against all persons suspected of having given information to or having cooperated with

the FBI, though these persons comprise thousands of citizens in all walks of life who received

no financial recompense for rendering that kind of aid to our law enforcement agencies which

is indispensable to the pursuit of criminals and the maintenance of our security.

On May 8, FBI Director Clarence Kelley said he regretted any errors made by the FBI during

"the twilight years" of J. Edgar Hoover's service to our nation. Mr. Kelley said that many

of the past FBI activities now being so strenuously condemned were, considering the times in

which they occurred, "good-faith efforts to prevent bloodshed and wanton destruction of property.

On January 13, 1976, Director Kelley said:

"Some say that our concern should be directed toward failures in our society

that spawn terrorism. I disagree. History is replete with instances where reform

did nothing to dissuade truly committed terrorists. ...The terrorist neither listens

to reason nor engages in reasoning with others. His aim is to generate fear -

to frighten people into submission."

Now is the time for all intelligent, responsible Americans to come to the aid• and comfort of

the FBI. Without its intelligence operations, each citizen would be strictly on his or

her own to fend for himself or herself against radical revolutionary or fascist terrorists.

If proposed legislation by the Church Select Committee on Intelligence Activities to halt FBI

intelligence operations were enacted by Congress, we could expect the present appalling figure:

on terrorism in our nation to double, treble and quadruple on to nationwide anarchy. That

we Americans have been spared embroilment in it and submission to terrorist forces is

largely owing to the courageous FBI agents conducting intelligence operations, the very

ones that the Church Committee proposes to legislate out of existence.
