PROJECT ANTI-RECIDIVISM (PAR) 2. STAND 3. BLACK PANTHER PARTY (BPP) All of the above are based in Jersey City. AI denotes inclusion in Newark Agitator Index. 1. PAR This organization is funded by the OEO and sponsored by the Jersey City Council of Churches in the sum of $191,548, principally from the Federal government. PAR is a program to rehabilitate ex-convicts; however, no reports have been made as of the end of May, 1968, as to the effectiveness of the program. It operates a residence in Jersey City for men just released from prison. The program furnishes food, clothing and counseling but very few men have been placed in jobs.

BPP is also, according to local news media, a N.J. He might also be channeling OEO funds from PAR to the BPP. It is Newark's suggestion that the Bureau, through a liaison source with the office of the OEO, suggest that perhaps an accounting is in order for PAR by OEO to determine if the money paid by the government to PAR is being used to finance Black Nationalist groups that seek to foment discord in the black community and stir up racial discontent that may ultimately lead to riots or other forms of civil disorder. It is conceivable that This page is the cover sheet of a declassified FBI document related to the COINTELPRO program. It features a prominent seal of the Federal Bureau of Investigation with the words "Freedom of Information Act" inscribed within it. The text on the page is official and formatted as a report cover sheet, indicating the document's subject is "COINTELPRO - BLACK EXTREMIST" and its section number. There are no photographs, handwritten notes, stamps, or filled-in forms visible on this page. The document appears to be a standard administrative cover, and there is no visible evidence of surveillance methods or communications. OEO to determine if the money paid by the government to PAR is being used to finance Black Nationalist groups that seek to foment discord in the black community and stir up racial discontent that may ultimately lead to riots or other forms of civil disorder. It is conceivable that the Federal government may be contributing, in a round about way, to the possible destruction of private property in urban areas, and the injuring of their police and other law enforcement officers. A letterhead memorandum on STAND was submitted to Bureau dated 9/11/68. On their face, PAR and STAND are legitimate, neighborhood groups publicly identified as being for the good and welfare of the black resident; and therefore, can- not be the object of an investigation to determine if funds are being misappropriated. There is no actual evidence of it, but the OEO, through what would appear to be a normal request, may be able to gain some knowledge of the ultimate distribution of its, PAR's, funds. Letterhead memos have been furnished the Bureau and as previously mentioned, STAND. 2 [REDACTED] SAC, Newark (100-49654) 10-17-68 Director, FBI (100-448006) REC-122 COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM BLACK NATIONALIST - HATE GROUPS RACIAL INTELLIGENCE (STAND) Reurlet 10-2-68. The information concerning possible misuse of Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), funds by STAND, a local black nationalist group, has been furnished to OEO. This data was furnished head of OEO, the Attorney General, and the White House by special letter. TJD:jkb, (6) NOTE: Referenced letter recommended the Bureau suggest to OEO, through liaison, that an accounting of OEO funds furnished Project Anti-Recidivism might be in order. An allegation has been made that these funds are going to STAND and possibly to the local unit of the Black Panther Party. As noted above, this information has been specially disseminated, and it is felt this action is sufficient.
