SUBJECT: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE-PROGRAM [REDACTED] . INTERNAL SECURITY DISRUPTION OF NEW LEFT ReBulets dated 5/10/68 and 5/29/68. It is to be noted that the Indianapolis Office has opened an active control file captioned as above and has exhausted every avenue that could effectively expose, disrupt and neutralize the activists of the various new left movement organizations, their leadership and adherents. The Indianapolis Office is well aware that it is imperative that the activities of these groups be followed on a continuous basis so the Bureau can take advantage of all opportunities for counterintelligence and also inspire action in instances where circumstances warrant. In all events where informants' identity could be well protected efforts will be made to divert reliable and cooperative news media sources to activities not open to the public, such as closed executive meetings of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Communist Party, etc. At the same time publicity covering their open meetings, demonstrations, etc. will remain minimal to deny the publicity they desire. For instance, [REDACTED] Indiana, the news media, composed of two daily newspapers and one radio station, all competent and reliable, have advised confidentially that they feel that the media is being used by the new left movement to get all the publicity they can. Therefore, the news media locally will give no or minimal coverage to routine new left activities such as speeches and peaceful demonstrations. It is further felt that the most effective potential counterintelligence action would involve repeated interviews with new left leaders and activists and that these interviews should be open and aggressive, constantly reminding them that they are of security interest to the United States Federal Government. It is to be noted that these tactics have been successful in racial matters within the field. [REDACTED] .

It is felt that such open activities of covering obvious Bureau responsibilities of matters of internal security, regardless of the proximity of the institution of higher learning, will be a less potential of embarrassment to the Bureau than the surreptitious methods that could be used. It is to be noted that the majority of the new left movement activities are greatly concentrated in the Indianapolis Division at Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, and the University of Notre Dame at South Bend, Indiana. The following subversive and new left organizations are at Indiana University, Bloomington: Communist Party [REDACTED] Indiana University Committee to End the War in Vietnam (IU-CEWV) [REDACTED] Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) [REDACTED] Afro, Afro-American Student Association (AAASA) [REDACTED] -2- IP 105-5821 than It is to be noted that the above individuals, other and are either on the Security Index or request has been made to place them on the Security Index. The following are key activists in the new left organizations at the University of Notre Dame at South Bend, Indiana SDS In view of the counterintelligence program set forth above, the Indianapolis Office feels that this could be the most direct and effective program that could be directed against the new left movement and its key activists. It is felt that having the news media interrupt the closed sessions of the new eft movements and repeated interviews with the leaders and activists in the new left movement organizations would neutralize the activities of the various new left organizations, their leadership and adherents. Indianapolis is recommending that this program be taken under consideration and will await Bureau approval. -3- SAC, Indianapolis (105-5821) Director, FBI (100-449698) REC-126 100-449698-21-1 COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM INTERNAL SECURITY DISRUPTION OF THE NEW LEFT 6/17/68 1- Mr. D.

Your This page contains a notice at the top, stating that the best obtainable copies are included in the reproduction, and any blurriness or difficulty reading is due to the condition of the original document. Below this notice, the page is predominantly blank, with no photographs, annotations, stamps, or forms visible. There are no apparent redactions or visual evidence of surveillance methods or informant communications. The bottom of the page is obscured by a thick, black bar. The document is a memorandum from the Indianapolis Field Office to the FBI Director, dated June 3, 1968. It discusses counterintelligence programs targeting the "New Left" movement and includes handwritten notes, suggesting field agent input or routing information. Official stamps are visible, including a "REC-7" stamp and a classification mark. There are also handwritten annotations on the right side of the page, including a case file number and date. A sketch of a uniformed individual is present in the lower left quadrant, alongside what appears to be a form. Redactions are present, obscuring some text within the main body of the memorandum.

Your suggestion that efforts be made to get cooperative news media to cover closed meetings of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and other New Left groups could result in some disruption to the New Left movement. You should be alert for instances where this can be done. However, no counterintelligence action is to be taken without Bureau approval. Your letter referenced Bulet 5/29/68 and listed New Left organizations and some individuals presently in the area covered by your office. A review of Bufiles fails to show a letter dated 5/29/68 concerning the Counterintelli- gence Program. Bulet 5/28/68 requested information concerning New Left organizations, individuals, and activities for each college in your area. If relet was intended as an answer to Bulet 5/28/68, it was not responsive to the Bureau's request and you should submit the desired information to the Bureau. BAW: Jes [ILLEGIBLE] (6) NOTE: Bulet 5/10/68 to all offices requested that all offices make suggestions for counterintelligence action against the New Left. IP has pointed out that in some instances New Left groups bold closed meetings and that it might be possible to have friendly news media attempt to cover the metings thereby disrupting them. In some instances this could have a disruptive effect. IP is so advised and instructed to obtain Bureau permission prior to 'instituting any action.

During this development at IU, he was elected [REDACTED] Through this connection he is able to attend all of the open meetings and many of the closed meetings of the various New Left organizations at IU. He is also able to obtain information concerning their plans at IU. [REDACTED] This coverage has been adequate during the past year, at IU, as has been proven by the fact that the Indianapolis Division was able to furnish advanced information concerning all of the New Left activity at IU during the past year. For instance, when JAMES WEST and TED PEARSON, two members of the National Committee of the CP, came to IU to lecture at two open sessions and two closed sessions, [REDACTED] , the coverage was considered quite complete. Photographs were taken, both open meetings [REDACTED] and symbol informants attended both open meetings. In addition to this, these CP leaders held [REDACTED] consultations and meetings with leaders of the New Left at IU in [REDACTED] meetings. 2 [REDACTED] these IP 205-5821: meetings were [REDACTED] fully reported. A new program began at IU in March, 1968, with the organization of the AAASA, which brought forth the additional problems of racial matters on the IU Campus. This type of activity had not been prevalent before since racial problems in this community are minimal. The demands of this organization have been quite general, but since all of their demands have been granted approval by the university officials, it is believed that this activity will enlarge during the next academic year. Since this racial activity is closely aligned and coordinated with the activities of the New Left at IU, it would not be realistic to separate the two programs. Some coverage can be made by [REDACTED] sources , but it will be necessary to develop a Negro source in order to penetrate this organization and obtain advanced information of their activities. The development of such a source at an institute of higher learning under existing regulations is a lengthy process. In view of this, and the fact that limited manpower is available for assignments to these programs, major emphasis is being placed at the present time on development of the new Negro source necessary to the coverage of this This page is a declassified FBI document, likely a report or memorandum, characterized by its dense, typewritten text and a significant number of black redactions obscuring sensitive information. The page contains an FBI file number "IP 105-5821" and a reference to the "Indianapolis Office". There is no visual evidence of photographs, handwritten annotations, official stamps, or forms. The primary visual elements are the typewritten text and the black ink used to redact specific names, details, and potentially entire sections of the document, indicating a deliberate effort to conceal information related to surveillance and operations against organizations referred to as the "new left" and their "key activists." institute of higher learning under existing regulations is a lengthy process. In view of this, and the fact that limited manpower is available for assignments to these programs, major emphasis is being placed at the present time on development of the new Negro source necessary to the coverage of this organization. At the same time, every effort will be expended to maintain the adequate coverage existing in the New Left activities at IU during the past year. An evaluation of potential violence on the IU Campus during the forthcoming school year could only be an estimate since it is mainly dependent upon the type of leaders who return to the IU Campus in September, 1968. From all information available, it appears that the main ringleaders of these organizations will return to IU in September, 1968. It also appears that the policies of the administrators of IU will not change and will remain permissive. In view of the probable return of leaders, the continued permissive policies of the university, and the potential addition of new leaders, the only reasonable evaluation would be that the situation at IU should enlarge in scope and violence during the forthcoming school year. Historically, since 1962, the activities of the various New Left groups at IU have grown from one small student group of approximately 15 members to the scope of the activities summarized in the enclosed Letterhead Memorandum. 3 [REDACTED] ```json [ {"box_2d": [124, 126, 155, 258], "text_content": "IP 105-5821\n"}, {"box_2d": [172, 126, 264, 853], "text_content": "All of the ringleaders of the New Left movement,\nmentioned in enclosed Letterhead Memorandum, are either\nincluded on the Security Index of the Indianapolis Division,\nor are being recommended for inclusion on the Security Index\nof the Indianapolis Division.\n"}, {"box_2d": [844, 536, 858, 558], "text_content": "4.\n"} ] ``` UNITED STATES FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION Indianapolis, Indiana June 25, 1968 In Reply, Please Refer to File No. DATED.

Identity of New Left Organizations at IU --- Indiana Central Office for Peace Action (ICOPA) --- The ICOPA was formed at IU on June 29, 1967, by Stephen Michael Cagan, a graduate student at IU, who had formerly organized the IU Chapter of the W. E. B. DuBois Clubs of America and the IU Committee to End the War in Vietnam in 1966. The ICOPA was formed by Cagan for the purpose of acting as a central coordinating committee through which he could coordinate the activities of all the antiwar and antidraft organizations in the State of Indiana. Cagan published several issues of a newsletter for this organization during the summer of 1967, but very little was accomplished by the organization. The ICOPA became defunct when Cagan left IU in August of 1967. During the time it was organized there were approximately 12 members. Indiana University Chapter of the W. E. B. DuBois Clubs of America (IU - DCA) ------ The IU - DCA was organized and registered at IU [REDACTED] In June, 1966, this February 7, 1966, by chapter was de-registered by the IU Board of Trustees since the United States Department of Justice had petitioned the Subversive Activities Control Board to declare the national W. E. B. DuBois Clubs as a subversive organization. The IU - DCA continued activity 2 --- Re: New Left Activity Indiana University This document is a declassified FBI memorandum, likely from the 1960s, with significant handwritten annotations and official stamps. The top portion features an official "UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Memorandum" header. Handwritten notes in purple ink, including "Ris tolp", "Nde lossefint 6.1875 LEDIGB", and "6.237", appear in the upper right quadrant, alongside a declassification marking. The main body of the text is typed, with several large black redacted boxes obscuring specific information, particularly in the "FROM" and "SUBJECT" fields and within the body of the memorandum itself. There are also various stamps and handwritten codes, such as "RM REC-7" and "25 JUL 1 1968", and a prominent "ENCLOSURE" stamp in the lower left. The visual evidence suggests a document involved in internal FBI communication and operations, with redactions indicating sensitive or classified information. This page is a heavily redacted excerpt from a COINTELPRO document, likely an analytical report or overview. The majority of the text is obscured by large, solid black redactions in several sections. There are no photographs, handwritten notes, or obvious forms visible. Official stamps are also absent. The presence of substantial redactions suggests that sensitive information regarding individuals or activities is being protected. The document appears to be a typed report, with a page number "2" visible at the bottom. chapter was de-registered by the IU Board of Trustees since the United States Department of Justice had petitioned the Subversive Activities Control Board to declare the national W. E. B. DuBois Clubs as a subversive organization. The IU - DCA continued activity 2 --- Re: New Left Activity Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana on a limited scale using front organizations until July 4, 1967, at which time the IU Board of Trustees approved a policy of non-registration for student groups at IU. This change in policy meant that any group of students could form any type of organization at IU without regulation or sanction by IU officials. During the summer of 1967, the IU - DCA held one meeting but became inactive since most of his time with the ICOPA and there left New York City in August, 1967, to become a national officer of the W. E. B. DuBois Clubs of America in New York City. During the summer of 1967, [REDACTED] then secretary-treasurer of the IU - DCA, published three issues of [REDACTED] a newsletter for the IU - DCA. The IU - DCA was reorganized September 20, 1967, but remained inactive as an organization for the balance of the school year, since its officers and members operated within the framework of the IU Committee to End the War in Vietnam. The IU - DCA was not reorganized and became defunct as of February 11, 1968. On April 23, 1968, the leader of the IU - ICA formed the Ben Davis Club of the Communist Party. While the IU - ICA was actually defunct, Robert Grove, Chairman of the IU - ICA and the Ben Davis Club, used the name of the IU - DCA for the rest of the academic year, since the name of the Ben Davis Club had not been made public during this year at IU. During the summer of 1967, the IU - DCA had approximately 21 members and during the 1967-1968 academic year, the IU - DCA had approximately 16 members. Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) at Indiana University ---------------------------------- The SDS at IU was inactive during the summer of 1967. This organization was recognized and officers elected at a meeting at IU on September 2. 1967. Since membership in the SDS at IU is more of a "state of mind" membership rather than a registered card carrying membership, only a rough The page is primarily a typed document with some visual elements potentially related to its handling or classification. There is a black redacted bar obscuring text in the upper portion of the page, next to a handwritten annotation reading "IP 205-5821:". There are also several small black dots and smudges scattered across the page, as well as a larger circular ink blot in the upper right quadrant. A numerical annotation "3" is present near the bottom center, followed by another black redacted bar. The overall appearance suggests a document that has undergone official processing, including redactions for security purposes. at IU was inactive during the summer of 1967. This organization was recognized and officers elected at a meeting at IU on September 2. 1967. Since membership in the SDS at IU is more of a "state of mind" membership rather than a registered card carrying membership, only a rough estimate, based on participation in activities, can be made. An estimate of students and faculty of IU participating in the SDS at IU could be made at approximately 300. After the arrest of 35 students 3 Re: New Left Activity Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana during the Dow incident at IU, on October 30, 1967, the leadership of this organization became insufficient for organized activity. During the second semester of the current academic year, the SDS was ran by an Executive Committee, which set the policy for the SDS at IU for all of the SDS members to join the activities and follow the programs of the IU Committee to End the War in Vietnam. Since these organizations had the same general program at IU, there was faculty involved in the New Left movement at IU, and the IU Committee to End the War in Vietnam, which had the strongest organization and leadership during the 1967-1968 academic year. A number of local SDS members joined in the activity of the national council meeting of the SDS held at IU, December 27-31, 1967, even though this was held during a vacation period. Indiana University Committee to End the Way in Vietnam (IU - CEWV) since [REDACTED] CEWV was inactive during the summer of 1967, IU - CEWV was originally organized by [REDACTED] at IU on March 17, 1966, as a front organization. The IU - DCA, for the purpose of holding demonstrations without organizational involvement of the IU - DCA. The IU - CEWV was reorganized on September 19, 1967, and the leadership was taken over by [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] were both characterized as having frankly the sympathies of the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) and [REDACTED] were connected with the IU - DCA. With this change of leadership, the orientation of the IU - CEWV shifted from the influence of the IU - DCA to the influence of the YSA. Because of its strong leadership and active organization, the IU - CEWV was able to absorb the leadership and membership of the IU - DCA and the SDS at IU into its This page contains a typewritten document with several visual anomalies. At the top left, the identifier "IP 105-5821" is present, underlined by a jagged black line. Several small black dots are scattered across the page, some appearing to be ink marks or debris. Two larger, distinct black circular marks are situated near the top center and top right of the page, resembling ink blots or stamp impressions. A significant black redaction, oblong in shape, is located across the middle of the text. Toward the bottom right, the number "4." is visible, followed by another black redaction that appears to obscure text. The bottom edge of the page displays a textured, dark band, possibly part of a printed border or a heavily annotated area. IU - CEWV shifted from the influence of the IU - DCA to the influence of the YSA. Because of its strong leadership and active organization, the IU - CEWV was able to absorb the leadership and membership of the IU - DCA and the SDS at IU into its programs of antidraft and antiwar activities. The IU - CEWV 4 Re: New Left Activity Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana stated that it had a membership of 255 members, including 154 paid members and 101 additional members on its mailing list. Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) and Young Socialists for Halstead and Boutelle (YSHB) ------------------------------------ The YSA and YSIIR have no membership nor organization such at IU, but their activities in connection with the YSHB were sponsored by the leaders of the IU - CEAT at IU during the second semester of the 1967-1968 academic year. and [REDACTED] of the IU - CEW leadership, both supported the YSHB by organizing the distribution of literature of the YSHB and the YSA on the IU Campus. They also helped organize weekly lectures on socialism, the Communist M
