POTENTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION New Left activities in Pittsburgh, Pa., are at the present time centered in the organizationss Peace and Freedom Center (PFC), with headquarters at 5530 Penn Ave., Pittsburgh, and the Serve The People (STP) Coalition, 3701 Boulevard of the Allies, Pittsburgh. Activities of these two groups at the present time consist of attempting to build participation and support for the forthcoming "Spring Offensive, 1971" of demonstrations, rallies and festivals in Washington, D. C., during April and May, 1971. This office has recently received information that the STP Coalition is having difficulty with the landlord of the building at 3701 Boulevard of the Allies. Appropriate counterintelligence action to capitalize on this situation is being considered by the Pittsburgh Office. This office is also attempting to formulate appropriate counterintelligence action against the PFC in order to neutralize efforts of this organization in attempting to build participation in anti-Vietnam demonstrations in Washington, D. C., during April and May, 1971.

TANGIBLE RESULTS On March 12, 1971, in accordance with authority granted in Bureau letter to Pittsburgh dated 3/11/71, information concerning the arrest and conviction of [REDACTED] who is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, was furnished to [REDACTED] [REDACTED] advised that he was aware that [REDACTED] continues in his position at the University of Pittsburgh but that he had been recently advised by a representative of the administration at the University that [REDACTED] has reached a "dead end" at Pittsburgh and that it is highly likely that in the near future [REDACTED] will seek employment elsewhere. [REDACTED] was most appreciative of receiving the information concerning the conviction of [REDACTED] and indicated that in the event the opportunity arose to make use of the information, he would do so. He was impressed with the necessity of main- taining Bureau's interest in this matter in the strictest confidence and advised that he realized the Bureau's position and that he would in no way divulge the Bureau's interest in this matter. -2- SAC, Minneapolis (100-14155) Director, FBI (100-449698) - /70h 4/14/71 REC-1 COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM IS - DISRUPTION OF THE NEW LEFT Reurlet 4/1/71, captioned as above.

Bureau authority is denied at this time to anonymously contact any prospective bus company being solicited by the local group of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), for the purposes outlined in referenced letter. As noted in referenced letter, the SDS already has had considerable difficulty in contracting local 'bus companies to furnish transportation for demonstrations. Consequently, it appears most of the bus companies in your territory are already aware of the nature of that group. Minneapolis is reminded, however, that should any information be developed concerning possible property damage to a contracted bus, or threat to the safety of a driver thereof, the appropriate officials of the bus company concerned should be notified immediately, along with other appropriate authorities. Your interest in submitting this suggestion for counterintelligence action is appreciated. JNO:mcm (4) MAILED 12 APR 13 1971 FBI NOTE: In referenced letter, Minneapolis requested authority to anonymously contact any prospective bus company in its territory being solicited by SDS for transportation to a 5/1/74 demonstration in Chicago, in order to point out difficulties encountered by local bus companies which have Tolson Sullivan Mohr Bishop Brennan, C.D.

The Bureau's authority is being requested to anonymously contact any prospective bus company which is being solicited by the local SDS group for transportation to the Chicago May 1 event. Should it be possible to intervene, there are numerous bus companies within the Minneapolis area which could be referred to as having unfavorable experiences with these people in the past. Likewise, the expected reciprocal action by the Chicago people coming to Minneapolis for the Honeywell stockholders meeting later in May might be circumvented. -2- 9 COMAL FORM NO. 30 MAY IND EDITION GSA FPMR (1 CFR) 101-11.8 UNITED STATES GOMENT Memorandum TO : DIRECTOR, FBI (100-449698) FROM : BAC, MINNEAPOLIS (100-14155) (P) SUBJECT: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM IS - DISRUPTION OF THE NEW LEFT DATE: 4/1/71 Re Minneapolis letter to Bureau dated 1/6/71. I. POTENTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION As indicated in referenced letter, New Left activity within the Minneapolis Division appears on the decline, both from the sense of atraction and intensity of activity. It can, however, be logically presumed that there will be the usual increased activity during the coming spring months. This program should, under normal circumstances, present greater potential with expected increased activity in the coming months. over-all lack of interest and activity, local New Left groups at the present time have not formulated any specific plans for the spring season other than possibly some protest actions in connection with the Honeywell, Inc., annual stockholders meeting and possibly some May 1 activity. Due to At an SDS meeting at Minneapolis on 3/28/71 it was concluded that the Minnesota group would attempt to send a busload of demonstrators to Chicago, Illinois, to assist the Chicago people in a May 1 demonstration there and that a reciprocal agreement would be made with the Chicago people for them to send a busload of people to Minneapolis to assist in the protest actions against the Honeywell stockholders meeting which would be sometime in Illinois, to assist the Chicago people in a May 1 demonstration there and that a reciprocal agreement would be made with the Chicago people for them to send a busload of people to Minneapolis to assist in the protest actions against the Honeywell stockholders meeting which would be sometime in May; however, the date of this event has not yet been scheduled. It would appear that this planned action may have some potential under the program, and a separate letter is being sent to the Bureau for approval relative to a plan of action.

To date the probations of these individuals have not yet been revoked, but it appears that additional opportunity is available. II. PENDING COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION By separate communication we are recommending possible action relative to the mentioned plans relating to possible May 1 activity in Chicago, Illinois, and the Honeywell stockholders meeting in Minneapolis. the local probation officer who is handling the probation concerning convicted SDS members, as referred to in Minneapolis letter dated 11/6/70, was contacted during March, 1971, at which time he indicated that he has made contact with the County Attorney, who has already recommended that two of the convicted SDS members be removed from probation. This matter will be pursued with [REDACTED] III. TANGIBLE RESULTS It is not known whether the decrease in over-all New Left activity within the Division can be in any way attributed to the efforts under this program in the past; however, it is quite clear that in certain areas of concentration, particularly anonymous mailings to officials at the University of Minnesota, that a change in policy has occurred, and, conceivably, some of the efforts under this program may be attributable to some degree for these changes. -2- OPTIONAL FORM NO. 38 MAY 1962 EDITION GSA FPMR (41 CFR) 101-11.0 UNITED STATES GO NMENT Memorandum TO : DIRECTOR, FBI (100-449698) FROM C[?]UZ SAC, CHICAGO (100-45316) SUBJECT: COINTELPRO-NEW LEFT Remylet 12/30/70.

Chicago is alert to any possible action to disrupt the operation of the NO. Possibilities under consideration are the possibility of implicating one of the leaders as an informant for the Bureau or the Chicago PD. When plans for this action are formulated, the details will be submitted to... the Bureau for approval. "New Left Notes" is being printed by Ad-Print in. Addison, Illinois. Contact has previously been had with Ad- Print and personnel there are extremely cooperative with the Bureau. If the appropriate situation presents itself, it may be possible to insert bogus information in an edition to create chaos in the organization. Pending Counterintelligence Activity Chicago is continuing a vigorous fugitive investiga- tion of the Weatherman fugitives. Recent developments in this case have led to discovering the identities that have been assumed by some of the leading personalities. This has increased the pressure being applied to the fugitives and is causing increasing paranoia among the underground. This is serving to disrupt their organization and creating distrust of their support apparatus. This is preventing their taking any effective steps to organize a following.
