The field office control file used under this program may be maintained in a pending inactive status until such time as a specific operation or technique is placed under consideration for implementation. The purpose of this new counterintelligence endeavor is to expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize the activities of black nationalist, hate-type organizations and groupings, their leadership, spokesmen, membership, and supporters, and to counter their propensity for violence and civil disorder. The activities of all such groups of intelligence interest to this Bureau must be followed on a continuous basis so we will be in a position to promptly take advantage of all opportunities for counterintelligence and to inspire action in instances where circumstances warrant. The pernicious background of such groupe, their duplicity, and devious maneuvers must be exposed to public scrutiny whore such publicity will have a neutralizing effect.

[REDACTED] --- [REDACTED] Letter to SAC, Albany RE: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM BLACK NATIONALIST - HATE GROUPS to consolidate their forces or to recruit new or youthful adherents must be frustrated. No opportunity should be missed to exploit through counterintelligence techniques the organizational and personal conflicts of the leaderships of the groups and where possible an effort should be made to capitalize upon existing conflicts between competing black nationalist organizations. When an opportunity is apparent to disrupt or neutralize black nationalist, hate-type organizations through the cooperation of established local news media contacts or through such contact with sources available to the Seat of Government, in every instance careful attention must be given to the proposal to insure the targeted group is disrupted, ridiculed, or discredited through the publicity and not merely publicized. Consideration should be given to techniques to preclude violence- prone or rabble-rouser leaders of hate groups from spreading their philosophy publicly or through various mass communication media. Many individuals currently active in black nationalist organizations have backgrounds of immorality, subversive activity, and criminal records. Through your investigation of key agitators, you should endeavor to establish their unsavory backgrounds, Be alert to determine evidence of misappropriation of funds or other types of personal misconduct on the part of militant nationalist leaders so any practical or warranted counter- intelligence may be instituted. Intensified attention under this program should be afforded to the activities of such groups as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Revolutionary Action Movement, the Deacons for Defense and Justice, Congress of Racial Equality, and the Nation of Islam. Particular emphasis should be given to extremists who direct the activities and policies of revolutionary or militant groups such as Stokely Carmichael, H. "Rap" Brown, Elijah Mohammad, and Maxwell Stanford. At this time the Bureau is setting up no requirement for status letters to be periodically submitted under this program. It will be incumbent upon you to insure the program is being afforded necessary and continuing attention and This document appears to be a memo from the FBI, dated August 25, 1967, concerning a counterintelligence program targeting "Black Nationalist - Hate Groups." Visually, the page is dominated by typed text detailing the program's purpose and directives. There are handwritten annotations, including what appear to be routing instructions and notes in the margins. Several official stamps are visible, such as "SAC, Albany," "Director, FBI," and "COMM. FBI," along with what looks like a "MAILED" stamp with a date. A significant black redaction covers a portion of the document, likely obscuring names or sensitive information related to the individuals listed. The document also includes a list of cities, each preceded by a number "2," indicating distribution or focus areas of the program. There is no photographic imagery on this page. such as Stokely Carmichael, H. "Rap" Brown, Elijah Mohammad, and Maxwell Stanford. At this time the Bureau is setting up no requirement for status letters to be periodically submitted under this program. It will be incumbent upon you to insure the program is being afforded necessary and continuing attention and that no opportunities will be overlooked for counterintelligence action. This program should not be confused with the program entitled "Communist Party, USA, Counterintelligence Program, Internal Security - C," (Bufile 100-3-104), which is directed -2- Letter to SAC, Albany RE: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM BLACK NATIONALIST - HATE GROUPS against the Communist Party and related organizations, or the program entitled "Counterintelligence Program, Internal Security, Disruption of Hate Groups," (Bufile-157-9), which is directed against Klan and hate-type groups primarily consisting of white memberships. All Special Agent personnel responsible for the investigation of black nationalist, hate-type organizations and their memberships should be alerted to our counterintelligence interest and each investigative Agent has a responsibility to call to the attention of the counterintelligence coordinator suggestions and possibilities for implementing the program. You are also cautioned that the nature of this new endeavor is such that under no circumstances should the existence of the program be made known outside the Bureau and appropriate within-office security should be afforded to sensitive operations and techniques considered under the program. No counterintelligence action under this program may be initiated by the field without specific prior Bureau authorization. You are urged to take an enthusiastic and imaginative approach to this new counterintelligence endeavor and the Bureau will be pleased to entertain any suggestions or techniques you may recommend. 3 MAY 100 EIMIN UNITED STATE ONMENT Memorandum _TO_ 12-129 _FROM_ 664 DATE: 8/30/67 SUBJECT: Director, FBI SAC, Philadelphia (157-2371) () COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM BLACK NATIONALIST - HATE GROUPS INTERNAL SECURITY Re Bureau airtel to Albany dated 8/25/67. The following suggestions are presented for general consideration: I. RAM This division during the summer of 1967 has had the opportunity to observe an attempt by an extremist Negro group (RAM) to affect the peace of a city. Some of the steps taken against RAM may be of possible use elsewhere under the current program.

Actions herein set out were carried out by either the The page appears to be a typed memorandum on aged paper, with a dark border along much of the left side, suggesting it might be a copy of a copy. No photographs or illustrations are present. There are several instances of what appear to be handwritten notations and markings scattered throughout the text, particularly in the margins and between paragraphs, though their content is not clearly legible. Notably, there are several instances of what appear to be official stamps, including a red "CONFIDENTIAL" stamp on the top left corner and other black stamps that are too smudged to decipher, likely indicating routing or classification. There is a page number "-2-" at the bottom center, suggesting it's part of a larger document. No forms or wiretap logs are visible. be of possible use elsewhere under the current program. It is pointed out that in a fast moving series of situations, the police may have to "play it by ear," which may reduce Bureau control of the ( action taken.

He settled in the heart of the Negro ghetto with his common-law wife and two children. Keads of the Intelligene Unit This tactic worked. The police had forgotten and had no prior experience with or knowledge of RAM.

Police disruptive action was also initiated. Cars stopping at [REDACTED] residence were checked as to license numbers. When they left the residence area they were subject to car stops by uniformed police. The occupants were identified. They then became the target for harassment. As an example, the following case is cited: [REDACTED] He was located passing out RAM literature at a local school. He was interrogated. He was arrested as a narcotic user on the basis of alleged needle marks. He was fingerprinted and photographed. He was subsequently released by a magistrate. Any excuse for arrest was promptly implemented by arrest. Any possibility of neutralizing a RAM activist was exercised. [REDACTED] was arrested for defacing private property when he painted "Black Guard" on a private building. His companion was also arrested. A charge of carrying a concealed deadly weapon, a switch-blade knife, was pushed against the companion. His probation officer was contacted, his parole revoked, and he was returned to prison for several years. When surveillance property when he painted "Black Guard" on a private building. His companion was also arrested. A charge of carrying a concealed deadly weapon, a switch-blade knife, was pushed against the companion. His probation officer was contacted, his parole revoked, and he was returned to prison for several years. When surveillance reflected the arrival of a new group in town, they were brought in for investigation and their residence searched. Certain addresses used by [REDACTED] as mail drops in Philadelphia had been determined to be the addresses of known Negro extremists. When a young Negro was arrested for passing out RAM printed flyers and was charged with inciting to riot these addresses appeared in his statements to the police. Search warrants were secured. While the search of the first four only eliminated their use as mail drops, the fifth contained RAM and Communist literature and a duplicating machine with a RAM leaflet on the plate. Three persons were arrested at this last address. - 2 - [STAMP WITH HANDWRITTEN MARKINGS] [HANDWRITTEN NOTATION] 5 PH 157-2371 Legal searches of the home of [REDACTED] and other RAM members produced a volume of literature of such a nature that the District Attorney authorized the arrest of [REDACTED] and five other RAM members. They are still in prison. Other RAM people were arrested and released on bail, but were re-arrested several times until they could no longer make bail. The above local actions appear for the present to have curtailed the activities of this [REDACTED] group. It was apparently a highly frustrating experience for the persons involved. [REDACTED] was advised that he was again under arrest and that his wife and sister were also under arrest, he lay down on the floor of his residence, beat the floor with his fists and cried. [REDACTED] has been returned to New York to answer charges growing out of a RAM plot in that city to kill moderate civil rights leaders. Most of the RAM activists are still in jail in Philadelphia at this time. The above action by local police units is cited as an example of an effective disruptive counterintelligence technique. In other cities where close police cooperation exists, it may be possible to suggest similar operations and to supply to police officers interested in such a violence-prone organization not only information concerning it but ideas relative to its vital or weak sections and profitable points This page is entirely text-based and appears to be a formal memo or directive. There are no photographs, handwritten annotations, official stamps, or forms present. No visual evidence of surveillance methods, informant communications, or targeting directives is visible. The document is a typed letter concerning counterintelligence concerning "Black Nationalist - Hate Groups." The page is numbered "-3-" at the bottom center and also has a faintly penciled "3" in the bottom right corner. There are no redactions visible on this page. an effective disruptive counterintelligence technique. In other cities where close police cooperation exists, it may be possible to suggest similar operations and to supply to police officers interested in such a violence-prone organization not only information concerning it but ideas relative to its vital or weak sections and profitable points of attack. [REDACTED] -3- 6 PH 157-2371 III. Future Action Planned by Philadelphia 1. Pursuant to Bureau instructions, this office will commence interviewing RAM members. About a dozen are presently incarcerated in Philadelphia and these will be the first interviewed. 2. Philadelphia is presently reviewing and analysing a list of names and addresses compiled from three private address books taken from [REDACTED] at the times of his three arrests since he returned to Philadelphia. Selective interviews will be made and the analysis may lead to other counterintelligence suggestions. 3. [REDACTED] and most RAM activists in Philadelphia appear to be in prison. Philadelphia will have to evaluate the situation more fully to determine the extent of vitality remaining in RAM in this area before it will be in a position to advance further suggestions under this program. - 4 - OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 MAY 1950 EDITION USA PPMR (41) EN-114 UNITED STATES GOV.

Also attached for approval is a letter to 26 field offices where there has been racial unrest to alert them to the availability of this pamphlet. BACKGROUND: My memorandum of 7/25/67, approved by the Director, authorized us to assist the Catholic War Veterans on a confidential basis, in preparing the cover and format of the pamphlet "A Time of Challenge," The pamphlet con- sists of public statements by the Director, retired... Supreme Court Justice Whittaker, and John Cardinal Krol, Archbishop of Philadelphia, discrediting extremist organiza- tions and civil disobedience. The pamphlet also contains an article by Dennis M. Higgins of the "Philadelphia Inquirer," which accurately dissects organizations leading civil disobedience. Our Philadelphia Office, through discreet con- tact with the National Commander of the Catholic War... Veterans, has arranged for this pamphlet to be printed in quantity under the sponsorship of the Veterans organization. The Catholic War Veterans intends to give the pamphlet widespread circulation throughout the country and has volunteered to mail the pamphlet at its own expense to any organization or individual specified by the FBI.

V. C. Sullivan RE: COMMUNIST PARTY, USA 100-3-104-37- PROPOSAL: My memorandum 7/25/67 authorized anonymous confidential dissemination of this pamphlet, through established sources, to expose and discredit organiza- tions involved in civil disobedience. Attached for approval is a letter to 26 field offices where civil unrest has occurred advising that. this pamphlet is available for distribution. These offices are being advised they may propose sending the pamphlet to responsible individuals or organizations and cautioned against proposing sending it to rabble rousers or persons or groups of unsavory, reputation since that would.serve no purpose... In the past, through discreet cooperation with the Catholic War Veterans, we arranged for the preparation and widespread circulation of a pamphlet exposing the communist-controlled youth group, the W. E. B. DuBois Clubs of America. At that time, the Crime Records Division was successful in having an announcement regarding the pamphlet exposing the DuBois Clubs inserted in a column by Walter Vinchell, which greatly facilitated broad circulation of the pamphlet. We should again endeavor to publicize the current pamphlet through our news media contacts.... Additional copies of the current pamphlet may: be obtained for seat of Government use or for release to established sources on a confidential basis fromthe Internal Security Section of the Domestic Intelligence Division, RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. It is recommonded that the attached letter to 26 field offices where there have been instances of civil disobedience be approved to alert these offices to the availability of the current.pamphlet. 2. It is also recommended that this memorandum bo routed to the Crime Records Division so that the availability of this pamphlet through the Catholic War Veterans, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.
