Memphis is awaiting Bureau instructions relative to what action would be appropriate. A point raised in the enclosed article has aroused the curiosity of Memphis, this being the reference to SSOC receiving funds from the Norman Fund which the article described as "The CIA conduit for the National Student Association, the Southern Regional Council, etc." It is recalled that Memphis has previously reported SSOC Membership Mailing #5 dated 2/14/67, on page 5, carried an article indicating SSCC had received a grant of $2,500 from the Aaron E.

No information has been developed relative to [REDACTED] traveling outside the United States since being employed by SSOC; however, it is recalled that [REDACTED] former SSOC Chairman, was active in the affairs of the National Student Association and also traveled to Prague, Czechoslovakia during the summer of 1967, as previously s currently S.I. subject of reported.
