The building was, in fact, used for youth programs until approximately a year ago when the individual in charge of youth programs for the church was reassigned to another area. After that "hippies" moved in and the building has been used by various individuals since that time and is now the residence for the Americong. Alexandria will develop background information on and if he appears to be an upright citizen, Alexandria will submit a letter to the Bureau recommending he be interviewed to determine if he is cognizant of the purpose for which his building is now being used and further to determine if he would consider evicting the residents. 2.

This document appears to be a memorandum from the FBI's Alexandria field office to the Director, dated December 16, 1970. The text discusses COINTELPRO operations related to "New Left" organizations, specifically mentioning an investigation into an entity called "Americong" that was determined to be nonexistent. Handwritten annotations appear on the right side of the document, including a signature and a date stamp indicating "DEC 17 1970." There are also some handwritten notations in red ink near the bottom center of the page, including what looks like a file number. A redacting stamp partially obscures some information, and a circular stamp with "FBI" in it is present at the top right. The overall appearance is that of a heavily annotated and processed official government document.

A "MAILED" stamp with "SEP 19 1969" is visible, indicating the date the communication was sent. There are also two circled numbers and other handwritten marks in the margins. Finally, the document contains what appears to be a form with several lines for names and a "TELETYPE UNIT" checkbox.
The document is a declassified FBI memorandum, likely from the COINTELPRO New Left program. Visually, it's dominated by typed text on a standard office form, detailing an investigation into an individual involved with the SDS at George Mason College. There are numerous handwritten annotations, including scribbled notes, numbers, and a signature at the bottom indicating approval by a "Special Agent in Charge." Several large sections of text are deliberately redacted, obscuring names and specific details of the investigation. Official stamps are also visible, including what appears to be a routing or date stamp indicating "SEP 12 1969." There are no photographs of individuals or facilities present on this page.
The page is a typed document with significant portions redacted, indicated by black bars. A numerical identifier "AX 100-57" is present in the upper left corner. There are also two circular stamps at the top, appearing to be hole punches rather than official markings. The text discusses the potential neutralization of "New Left" organizations and leaders, recommending authorization for pursuit and exposure of individuals. Several phrases are redacted as well, suggesting sensitive information about specific individuals or operations. At the bottom center, "-2-" indicates this is the second page of a multi-page document.
The document is a memorandum from the FBI's Richmond office to the Director dated May 5, 1969. It pertains to the Counterintelligence Program concerning the disruption of the New Left. Visually, the page features several handwritten annotations and stamps. A stamp in the bottom left corner indicates "SO JUL 1 8 1959" and "JUL 17 1969." There are also handwritten notations such as "MCI", "REC", "CN", and what appears to be a routing or classification stamp "INT. SEG." Multiple checkboxes are marked with an "x," indicating specific actions related to file retention and status in Richmond and Alexandria. There are no photographs or explicit visual evidence of surveillance methods, though the nature of the document implies covert operations.
