In April, 1968, they were arrested by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office on an indecent literature charge stemming from the publication of the "Florida Free Press".

There are no photographs, handwritten annotations, official stamps, forms, logs, schedules, charts, or redactions. The visual content consists solely of the typed text, which serves as a disclaimer regarding the legibility of the document's pages. This page is a "Memorandum" form from the United States Government, dated May 31, 1968. It is addressed to the "DIRECTOR, FBI" from "SAC, MIAMI". The subject is "COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM INTERNAL SECURITY DISRUPTION OF THE NEW LEFT". There are several handwritten annotations, including what appears to be a quick sketch on the left side of the page and various numbers and abbreviations like "MCI", "REC-34", and "INT SEC." A date stamp reads "B JUN 5 1968". The document contains a section titled "SUCCINCT SUMMARY" and lists "NEW LEFT ORGANIZATIONS," specifically mentioning "MIAMI-SSOC" and providing a series of numbered entries, each with a code like "(1 - 100-15956)".

POTENTIAL COUNTER INTELLIGENCE When FAU-SSOC was in a formative stage, certain students were concerned the organization was having a detrimental influence on the campus and that SSOC members who were also staff members for the student newspaper were changing the context of this publication to controversial issues rather than reporting school news, and decided on a course of action. Since SSOC consisted of only 10 or possibly 12 members, they decided they would organize a group of stable students to attend a SSOC meeting at which new officers were to be elected. With their majority they could elect the officers from their own group and thus neutralize the activities of FAU-SSOC. -3- ```json [ {"box_2d": [88, 169, 123, 343], "text_content": "MM105-15956"}, {"box_2d": [144, 166, 231, 867], "text_content": "Thirty of these students attended a meeting whereat FAU-SSOC\nofficers were to be elected.

ReBulet to Albany, copies all offices, dated Referenced communication instructed recipient offices to furnish detailed information concerning allegations of police brutality, specific data with respect to immorality of New Left adherents, and action taken The document is a typed page from a COINTELPRO file, with several large, blacked-out redactions obscuring portions of the text. It contains official numbering ("MM 105-15956") and section headings ("II. POTENTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE", "NEWS MEDIA", "III. POTENTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE"). There are no photographs, handwritten annotations, or stamps visible. The page appears to be a section of a report discussing potential counterintelligence activities, with a focus on a group called FAU-SSOC and its relation to the news media and internal security. The presence of redactions indicates sensitive information that was deemed necessary to conceal. The page contains typed text, potentially from a government report, with unusual visual elements. There are scattered, abstract circular and oval shapes near the top, resembling smudged ink or stylized drawings rather than photographic images. A handwritten number "42" is present in the upper left margin, and a stamp-like designation "MM105-15956" appears at the top. Additionally, there are large, dark, curved shapes in the upper right and lower right margins, which could be smudges, ink marks, or damage to the document. The text itself outlines counterintelligence activities against activists.

ReBulet to Albany, copies all offices, dated Referenced communication instructed recipient offices to furnish detailed information concerning allegations of police brutality, specific data with respect to immorality of New Left adherents, and action taken by college administrators against militant minority elements. New Left elements within the Miami Division, to date, have not been involved in confrontation with college administrators. No encounters have occurred between New Left groups and police organizations. Administrators at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, a major campus, have established procedures for handling disruptive behavior, demonstrations or riots. The procedures call for a firm, rather than vacillating attitude, in considering student demands. New Left activists in the Miami Division are presently under investigation. Consideration will be given to immorality on their part uncovered in these investigations to determine if it would have value under the captioned program. 100-449698--19-2 Information with respect to the above will be furnished on a continuing basis as it occurs. Every opportunity to exploit the New Left to their detriment will be pursued. REC 45 100-449377-77 Bureau (AM) (RM) Miami JJM:jhk (3) • JUN 17 1968 INT. SEC.

The United Black Students (UBS) recently formed at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, but now is located off campus. It has not been included in the enclosed letterhead memorandum. The objectives of the UBS, such as scholarships for black students, more black instructors on the faculty, and introduction of black and African courses in the curriculum, have overtones of black militancy rather than those of New Left groups. The UBS staged a peaceful sit-in in the University President's office to dramatize their demands. Fourteen were arrested for refusal to vacate the area. A report on the UBS and its activities has been submitted under the Racial Matters classification. A minor protest occurred at the University of Miami in March, 1968. Students opposed to the Vietnam War, unorganized, staged an on-campus rally provoked by the presence of a U. S. Army Recruiting Team. Hawkish students briefly disrupted their attempts. The rally proceeded, however, in a peaceful manner. No arrests were made. No disruption occurred. The Army Recruiters were not subjected to interference.

Campuses within the Miami territory presently appear The document is a scanned page from a declassified FBI file, featuring a heavily textured, low-contrast appearance typical of older, reproduced documents. Handwritten annotations are visible, including "6/22/68" near the top right and a file number "100-449670/27" near the bottom right, along with a rubber-stamp date "29 JUN 5 1968". There are several areas with black ink redactions obscuring text. The document contains structured text elements such as "TO:", "FROM:", and "SUBJECT:", indicating a memo or report format. No photographs, surveillance charts, or explicit visual evidence of surveillance methods are present. This document is heavily redacted, obscuring much of its content. The majority of the page appears to be text, likely reports or directives, printed in a standard bureaucratic font. Several large, dark redacted blocks dominate the middle of the page. There are also smaller redactions scattered throughout the text, indicating sensitive information. Additionally, there are handwritten annotations and markings, including what appear to be official stamps or symbols at the top of the page and a circled "2" near the bottom. The visual elements suggest a heavily processed and classified document, with redactions serving to conceal specific details of the information and operations described. --- **Explanation of what is visually present on the page per your request:** * **Photographs of individuals, surveillance targets, facilities, or events:** There are no photographs present on this page. * **Handwritten annotations, field agent notes, or marginalia:** There are some handwritten markings, notably at the top of the page (possibly symbols or routing information) and the circled "2" near the bottom, which is likely a page number. * **Official stamps (CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, routing codes, dates, field office identifiers):** While no explicit stamps like "CONFIDENTIAL" or "SECRET" are clearly visible, the format and the presence of the case number "MM 157-2414" and file references suggest an official FBI document. The symbols at the top could pertain to routing or classification. * **Forms with filled-in fields:** This page does not appear to be a form with filled-in fields.

Efforts are also continuing to obtain other sources in this organization. Campuses within the Miami territory presently appear to offer no potential for violence for the forthcoming school year. The University of Miami, the major campus, has been publicly described and self-described as apathetic. New Left groups have not gained a foothold at this institution. Other campuses, the majority of which are state institutions, have as an enrollment principally commuter students who take little interest in campus activities and are on campus usually only when attend- ing classes. It is, therefore, felt no violence will occur, although it is realized an influx of new students could ranidly change this situation.
