Relet indicated that television station had afforded TV coverage to the departure of participants in the third Venceremos Brigade (VB) from Buffalo and St. John's, New Brunswick, Canada. It proposed that public source data including data identifying local VB organizers and members as persons active in local campus disturbances be furnished to [REDACTED] . It was apparently felt that such exposure on local TV would serve as a deterrent to future VB recruiting efforts and as public embarrassment to the individuals involved in these activities. Bureau authority is not being granted at this time for the purpose outlined above. Because of the small number of VB members from the Buffalo area, it is not felt the risk involved in attempting to positively identify The visible content of this page consists entirely of typed text, with the exception of some minor ink marks and a page numbering at the bottom. There are numerous black redactions, appearing as solid rectangular blocks, strategically placed throughout the document. These redactions obscure names, locations, and specific details within the text. The page is formatted like a memo or report, with a header indicating a file number ("BU 100-19652") and a page number ("-2-") at the bottom, suggesting it's part of a larger document. There are no photographs, handwritten notes, stamps, forms, logs, charts, or visual evidence of surveillance methods. The visual presentation is primarily about the selective concealment of information through redactions. The document is a typed FBI memo with several handwritten annotations and official stamps. There are no photographs of individuals or facilities. The memo itself is an internal FBI directive regarding the dissemination of an anonymous leaflet. Notably, there are redactions in black ink, obscuring specific names and text within the body of the memo. Handwritten notes and scribbles, including symbols and illegible writing, are scattered across the page, particularly in the margins and around stamp areas. Official stamps include a "REC-57" designation, a mailing label "MAILEQ 7" with a handwritten date "Jan 22 1971," and a date stamp "58 JAN 29 1971." There's also a prominent "1/21/71" date. The overall impression is of a heavily processed internal document with multiple layers of administrative handling. efforts and as public embarrassment to the individuals involved in these activities. Bureau authority is not being granted at this time for the purpose outlined above. Because of the small number of VB members from the Buffalo area, it is not felt the risk involved in attempting to positively identify the individuals depicted in the third VB TV coverage with persons who have participated in local campus disorders is worthwhile. One erroneous identification could lead to great embarrassment of the [REDACTED] and possibly subject the o legal action. MAILED 23 COMM-FBI FBS:jgr)^ (5) NOTE: Only 14 subjects in the Buffalo area have participated in VB. Failure of Buffalo to furnish names of these individuals. who have also participated in campus disorders indicates that there are very few to whom this counterintelligence program would apply. It is not worth the risk to subject the [REDACTED] to a possible libel action through a misidentification on our part.

Potential Counter- Intelligence Action Referenced letter set forth a suggested possible counterintelligence technique. This proposal was in the nature of a "letter of resignation" to the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNYAB) administrative authorities from a 'New left type professor". A survey was conducted and no suitable prospect was developed. After further consideration of this potential counterintelligence technique, it was decided another action of this type would possibly cast suspicion on the legitimacy of the original letter submitted which resulted in the "New Left type professor" not being rehired by SUNYAB. Subsequent to submission of this letter, a contingent of local Venceremos Prigade (VB) individuals departed Buffalo for Cuba. Although their departure was to be in a secrétive, clandestine manner, they were afforded television coverage by a local TV station. Both the local VB organizers and the group departing were rtunred, greatly irritated and acted in a rude and uncouth manner in responding to questions posed to them by the television reporter. In addition, the came television station covered the departure of not only the local VB people but also other VB groups when they boarded the boat at St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, for the trip to Cuba. LEV This document is a memorandum from the FBI's COINTELPRO New Left program, dated January 4, 1971. It addresses potential counter-intelligence action against individuals in Buffalo. Visually, the document features numerous handwritten annotations and markings, including a signature-like doodle in the upper right corner by a field agent, and a stamp indicating receipt by "Bureau (RM) - Buffalo" on January 21, 1971. There are also several redactions obscuring specific names or details, particularly in the "Proposed Counter-Intelligence Tactic" section discussing individuals and an organization.

It is believed that the exposure of local VB leaders and its members by the television media would not enhance their future organizational and open-type activities. Furthermore, it would in all probability prove to be a deterrent in their future recruitment efforts and could be a factor in the organization gaining further support from students and New Left individuals. Bureau authority is, therefore, requested to establish contact with [REDACTED] Buffalo, and to make public source information available. No action will be taken by Buffalo in this matter pending Bureau approval. -2- OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 MAY 1969 EDITION GSA NPR 41-121 (41 CFR 101-11.4) UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum TO : 1.10 : 1.

DATE: 6/30/70 Potential Counter- Intelligence Action During the campus disturbances of February, March, and May, 1970 at the State University of New York at Buffalo, (SUNYAB) some of the individuals actively involved have been faculty members or graduate teaching students. In some in- stances these individuals are hired on a yearly basis, and their contracts, therefore, are renewed each year. In June, 1970, a letter of resignation was received by SUNYAB authorities from a "New Left type professor." This letter was flavored with strong revolutionary language commonly used by New Left type, and was also cirtical of the establish- ment per se. On the basis of this letter, the professor was not re-hired. Copies of this letter were placed on bulletin boards in various areas on the professor." This letter was flavored with strong revolutionary language commonly used by New Left type, and was also cirtical of the establish- ment per se. On the basis of this letter, the professor was not re-hired. Copies of this letter were placed on bulletin boards in various areas on the SUNYAB campus by SUNYAB officials for students to read. The student reaction to the letter was one of admiration for the strong independent stand taken by the professor. Shortly after the placing of this letter on the bulletin boards, the professor in question issued a strong protest in which he vehemently denied writing this letter and claimed it was a complete fraud. School authorities at SUNYAB have resolved this issue by not re-hiring the professor and have declared him to be eligible for arrest, should he appear on the SUNYAB campus, as a trespasser. Inasmuch as it has never actually been established by the SUNYAB officials that the letter of resignation was not actually written by the professor, it is believed under similar conditions a letter could be directed to SUNYAB officials concerning other New Left professors.

It is believed that if this technique is authorized, it will result in a complete breakdown of relations locally between Youth Against War and Fascism (YAWF) and Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). The proposal was submitted because of the already existing strained relations between YAWF and SDS locally. Inasmuch as the successful implementation of this proposal could render considerable disruption within the local New Left faction, its anticipated further follow- up CI activity will possibly be derived from this action. `Pending Counter- Intelligence Action` Although there is no pending counterintelligence action, local New Left sources have been advised to remain alert for any information indicating personality clashes or feelings of distrust among the leadership which could be employed to create disruption and reduce the effectiveness of future New Left activities.
