Referenced letter states that there was no potential offered for the Counterintelligence Program in your division; that the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), despite an announcement in May, 1969, that it intended to organize a chapter at the University of Tennessee, had failed to do so; and that persons active in the Southern Student Organizing Committee (SSOC) at other colleges in your division had graduated. You concluded that since school officials were doing everything in their power to prevent New Left organi- zations from gaining a foothold on college and university campuses, it would be possible to close your file on the Counterintelligence Program. In view of the serious violence which occurred on campuses during the last academic year, many of which were spontaneous, and in view of the fact that there has been no evidence whatsoever to substantiate the conclusion that the New Left's efforts on the Nation's campuses are abating, you should not close out this Program in your office. During this period of abated activity by the New Left, you should prepare for and seek new ways of arresting the attacks by the New Left which will, in all probability, develop during the coming academic year. Information has been received that SDS is making plans to organize in the vacuum created by the demise of SSOC. You should thoroughly review this problem as it relates to your division and advise whether efforts can be taken to frustrate any attempts to organize SDS in your territory.
