MAILED 23 DEC 16 1969 COMM-FBI Enclosed is a copy of the Black Panther Party (BPP) letterhead stationery in possession of the Bureau. It does not appear that this stationery would be currently in use by the BPP as some of the officials listed as members of the Central Committee no longer are members. You should obtain several blank pieces of the letterhead stationery presently in use by the BPP National Headquarters. On one type your proposed expulsion letter exactly as you desire it to appear. The signature will be added by the laboratory. Date the letter sufficiently far in advance to allow for time consumed in mailing to Bureau, preparation in the laboratory and mailing back to your office. A date two weeks in advance would probably be about right. Furnish several blank pieces of stationery for possible laboratory use. The letter you prepare will be reproduced by the laboratory after addition of the signature and sufficient copies will be run off for the mailing. You should advise as to the method that would ordinarily be utilized by BPP headquarters in reproducing the letter, i.e. Xeroxing or some other method. It is assumed that BPP headquarters would not type each letter separately in a mailing of this nature. Furnish FBI number of individual who will be shown as signer of the letter to facilitate locating fingerprint card of that person for signature comparison. Advice as to whether you desire each letter signed individually or whether only the "master letter" need be signed and the signature reproduced along with the text of the letter. Upon completion of the letters at the Bureau they will be returned to you for addressing and mailing.

This list was not to include prominent members of the chapters who are in close contact with the National Office. It was felt that a mailing of the expulsion letter to a large number of BPP members who are not in close contact with the National Office, accusing them of black nationalism, may produce some disruption and defecting among the decreasing membership. It is, therefore, suggested that the following letter, The document is a typed letter with handwritten annotations and official stamps. It includes a list of names that appear to be targets or informants, identified as "Tolson", "DLooch", "Lottes", "Mohe", "Phop", "t'asper", "Callahan", "Conrad", "Felt", "Gale", "Hoan", "Sullivan", "Tavel", "Goyers", "Tele.

A significant portion of the bottom of the page, particularly to the right, is heavily redacted. Handwritten notations exist in the top right corner and around the "Enclosure" section, including a date stamp "97 DEC 29-1969". The overall impression is of an official FBI communication related to surveillance or intelligence gathering on the Black Panther Party. It was felt that a mailing of the expulsion letter to a large number of BPP members who are not in close contact with the National Office, accusing them of black nationalism, may produce some disruption and defecting among the decreasing membership.

As noted in referenced Omaha letter, the BPP in Des Moines, Iowa, is non-existent; and the BPP's successor in Omaha, United Front Against Fascism (UFAF), has only 8 to 12 members whose only activity to date has been the selling of "The Black Panther" BPP newspaper and the publication of a UFAF newsletter. In addition to this information, indications are that the UFAF is planning to start a liberation school at its headquarters in Omaha in the near future. In response to referenced Bureau letter, the identities of the leadership of the UFAF are known to the Omaha office. Omaha The page is a typed letter with a handwritten annotation and several redactions. The letter is addressed from San Francisco to the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) and concerns a counterintelligence program targeting the Black Panther Party (BPP). There are blacked-out sections that obscure specific details, likely names or sensitive operational information. The document appears to be a directive or request for information related to the production of materials for a covert operation. At the bottom, there is a page number indicating it is page two of a larger document, and what appears to be a handwritten identifier of "2". --- **More specific details about visual elements:** - **Handwritten annotations/marginalia:** There is a handwritten note that reads "NOTE:" underlined, indicating it might be a point of emphasis or a direct instruction. There is also a handwritten "2" at the bottom right, likely a page number or internal identifier. - **Redactions:** Several prominent black redactions are visible. One is a horizontal bar across the upper right portion of the page, obscuring text. Another is a smaller, vertical mark to the left of the main body of text. There are also smaller, scattered black marks suggesting illegible or deliberately obscured information. - **Official stamps:** There are no immediately visible official stamps like "CONFIDENTIAL" or "SECRET" on this particular page. - **Forms:** This is a letter, not a form. - **Surveillance methods/directives:** While the text discusses a counterintelligence proposal involving expulsion letters and simulated signatures, the visual elements themselves do not directly depict surveillance methods like wiretap logs or operational charts. However, the redactions strongly suggest the sensitive nature of the information regarding such directives. a UFAF newsletter. In addition to this information, indications are that the UFAF is planning to start a liberation school at its headquarters in Omaha in the near future. In response to referenced Bureau letter, the identities of the leadership of the UFAF are known to the Omaha office. Omaha is presently giving consideration to some type of counter-intelligence activity aimed at disruption of the UFAF newsletter or its distribution and counter-intelligence measures directed against the leaders of this organization. Close attention will be afforded this matter in order to produce effective results. Proposals for counter-intelligence activity will be submitted to the Bureau by separate communications in the very near future. REC-56 100-1-11 EX-117 BLC.

All possibilities for counterintelligence action will be explored and appropriate requests submitted to the Bureau. One proposal is presently awaiting Bureau evaluation. Attempts are being made to determine if the BPP has actively made efforts or has been successful in establishing an office of the BPP on the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) campus under the direction of If it is determined that they have established such a unit, appropriate requests will be submitted.

TANGIBLE RESULTS On 12/12/69, information concerning purchases of [REDACTED] were disseminated to the Intelligence Unit of the San Diego Police Department on a UACB basis. As a result, the [REDACTED] has established a surveillance of [REDACTED]. These surveillances are in effect as of the present time. It was also subsequently determined by the San Diego Office that the check which was submitted for payment, was paid for with a forged check in the name of [REDACTED]. In view of the fact that this activity of [REDACTED] encompasses a local crime, the information was disseminated to the Forgery Detail of the San Diego Police Department. That detail is currently conducting a joint investigation with the Intelligence Unit of the Police Department in an effort to identify the female who was with [REDACTED] who submitted the check for payment, and thereby obtain forgery warrants charging both the girl and [REDACTED]. It is also felt that the racial briefing sessions being given by the San Diego Division are affording tangible results for the Counterintelligence Program.

Just prior to the raid on the headquarters of the BPP in San Diego on 11/20/69, the San Diego Police Department was advised of the extensive fortifications and sand-bagging effected at BPP headquarters. As a result the San Diego Police Department tactics concerning the raid were changed whereby two plainclothesmen initially gained entry into the headquarters after which they immediately brought in reinforcements. This tactic was used rather than storming the front of the building. As a result, no officers were injured and no exchange of gun fire resulted as may have been the case if the police department had not beenaware of the fortifications incorporated in the headquarters building. IV. DEVELOPMENTS OF COUNTER INTELLIGENCE INTEREST The situation in southeast San Diego remains quiet at the present time. Unconfirmed reports have been received that the US organization, particularly, is attempting to infiltrate and obtain members in the various black student council and black student union organizations on various campuses. Efforts are being made to determine the reliability of these unconfirmed reports. - 3 - は OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 MAY 1968 EDITION GSA GEN REG.
