This case will involve as defendants several leaders and former leaders of the Baltimore BPP as well as at least one BPP leader at the National level, and is certain to have an adverse effect on all activities of the BPP as it will show to the nation what kind of animals are running the BPP.

The Bureau's attention is called to referenced Baltimore letter 3/28/69 wherein the Baltimore Office suggested that the Black Panther Party (BPP) sources suggest or imply that the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) consists of a corps of elite white chauvinistic students who would like to exploit the BPP. The Bureau approved this suggestion by referenced Bureau letter 4/22/69. The Baltimore Office has sent some tangible results from this counterintelligence activity. BPP members have been instructed not to associate with SDS members or attend any SDS affairs. An officer of the Baltimore BPP [REDACTED] was expelled from the BPP for his association with an SDS member. BPP sources in Baltimore are continuing to follow this activity.

REC-15 [ILLEGIBLE] It is suggested that the BPP sources, as well as SDS sources in the Baltimore area, be instructed to further widen the gap between the BPP and SDS by espousing the line of their respective organizations regarding community control of police departments. With an already definite split between the organizations in the Baltimore area, the above suggestion could have a lasting effect. 13 It is further suggested that the fact that the SDS and BPP have different views regarding community control of [REDACTED] Bureau (REGISTERED MAIL) Baltimore ASB:Jtk (3) 5 5 AUG 27 1969 Approved: Sent M Per [ILLEGIBLE] Special Agent in Charge BA 100-25001 police departments'' be furnished to established news media sources and a possible feature article be written for publication in the local newspapers. It could be suggested to these established sources of the news media that interview of leaders of SDS and BPP in the Baltimore area could be made regarding their views on this subject asking their opinion of the line followed by the opposition. Questions could also be asked of the SDS leaders regarding their views of the remarks made by BPP Chairman BOBBY SEALE and BPP Chief of Staff DAVID HILLIARD, that the SDS is a facist organization as set forth in the "Guardian" dated 8/16/69. The Baltimore Office feels that the use of anonymous letters to various members and leaders of each group in the Baltimore area would not serve any purpose at this time since a gap has already been established between the two groups and since the BPP leadership is in a state of confusion at this time. . Baltimore will continue to exploit the original suggestion approved by the Bureau. The additional suggestion set forth will not be undertaken until Bureau approval is given. 2 SAC, Baltimore (100-25001) REC 70 Director, FBI (100-449698) 9/5/69 COINTELPRO - NEW LEFT ReBAlet 8/20/69 Consistent with the security of your sources, approval is granted to instruct your informants to take the necessary steps to broaden the split which now exists between SDS and the PLP in your division.

Notably, it contains a handwritten annotation near the bottom right corner: "[INTI SEC]" and a circular stamp of "REC 85." A date stamp "10 OCT 13 1970" is also present along with a number "ST-103". There are no photographs or direct visual evidence of surveillance activities, but the text points to the mailing of pamphlets and mentions intelligence gathering. The page is a declassified FBI memorandum with a "CONFIDENTIAL" stamp visible at the top. It includes official stamps like "REC-33" and "B FFR 5 1970," along with handwritten annotations and signatures that appear to be approval markings or notes from agents. There are no photographs or explicit depictions of surveillance methods. Instead, the document contains typed text detailing an investigation into the Students for a Democratic Society, Progressive Labor Party, and Black Panther Party, with some sections appearing to be redacted, obscured by black ink.

COUNTER INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM - BLACK NATIONALIST HATE GROUPS RACIAL INTELLIGENCE Investigation within the Baltimore Division has indicated that members of the SDS and members of the Black Panther Party (BPP) have been making efforts to cooperate with each other, presenting the problem of a possible coalition between these two extremist groups. As a counter intelligence move aimed directly at both of these groups the following move is suggested and Bureau authority is requested to implement this action: BPP sources of the Baltimore Office should be directed to suggest or imply to BPP members that the SDS consists of a corps of elite white chauvinistic students of upper middle class who would like to exploit the militant potential and strength of the BPP and other extremist groups; that is, they should suggest to the Panthers that the SDS will talk of violent actions and may provide lip service, funds, and materials (such as weapons) but the SDS is basically a cowardly, honky group, which is striving to get the BPP to do the dirty work thus exposing Panthers to needless danger. It is believed that if the above program is instituted that a wedge can be successfully driven between the SDS and the BPP and will put an end to their recently commenced honeymoon.

A handwritten annotation circles "COINTELPRO - NEW LEFT" in the subject line. There is an official stamp indicating "REC-15," and the handwritten note "13" is in the upper right margin. Below is a box containing text and a stamp that reads "5 AUG 27 1969." Handwritten marginalia is present on the left side of the document, including "Ret to SAC, BH" and "5/5/69" with a signature. There's a small redacted area near the bottom of the page in the body of the text, and a larger black redaction in the upper right quadrant of the page, obscuring some content. The bottom of the page shows a signature for "Special Agent in Charge." The document appears to be a scanned page from an FBI file, likely related to surveillance operations. Visually, it consists mainly of typewritten text with significant portions obscured by black specks, suggestive of poor original image quality or intentional obfuscation. There are some circular ink marks at the top of the page, characteristic of old office stamps, and a handwritten "2" near the bottom center, indicating a page number. The text itself, as transcribed by OCR, describes a directive regarding news media interviews with SDS and BPP leaders and expresses concerns about the effectiveness of anonymous letters. No photographs, handwritten notes, specific forms, or visual evidence of surveillance methods are directly discernible. 179, 264], "text_con
