Operations Under Consideration Pending Bureau approval, the Albany Division is considering a counterintelligence operation wherein black nationalists designated as targets will be exposed to the local police departments so that they may designate these individuals as targets also. The police departments can then issue a series of traffic tickets to the individual targets, of which the target's copy will be destroyed, until a backlog of "unpaid" tickets is accumulated and the issuance of an arrest warrant is necessary. It is planned that the warrant would be held in abeyance until such time as racial violence may appear imminent and information indicates that the target may be engaged in fomenting this violence. The warrant can then be served and the target arrested and incarcerated, thereby preventing his presence in the streets to incite the racial strife. 2 - Bureau (RM) 2 - Albany TCK:gab (4) | RECI / 4 MAI Buy U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savings Plan. 166 AL 157-231 2. Operations Being Effected Inasmuch as no proposed counterintelligence operations have been approved by the Bureau for the Albany Division, there are no operations presently in effect at Albany. 3. Tangible Results Not applicable at this time. 4. Developments of Counterintelligence Interest Presently there is only one black nationalist organization in the Albany Division. Investigation to date has revealed that the organization has not fom Led racial trouble in the past nor are there plans within the organi- zation to creat any racial violence in the future. As previously reported to the Bureau, the Nation of Islam has unsuccessfully attempted to establish mosques at Albany, N.Y., and Syracuse, N.Y., however, no colf- sustaining mosques have been established to do. In view of the absence of black nationalist activities by organization or individual, the counterintelligence program regarding these matters is limited. If black: ionalists in this Division become active to the point the public indicates concern, it is felt that then would the most appropriate time to more fully exploit the mones made available through this program.
