The situation in regard to [REDACTED] a faculty member at Arizona State University (ASU) in suburban Tempe, which is commented upon under Roman Numeral III below, may present additional potential for action in this program. However, the most recent comments regarding his status with ASU is that he has agreed to take a one- year sabbatical. In the event that his case becomes a cause celebre for the New Left or the Socialist Workers Party on the ASU campus in the near future, it will be evaluated for possible counterintelligence action.

There are also some smudged or redacted areas, particularly on the left side and near the bottom, suggesting sensitive information. The document includes typed sections detailing potential and pending counterintelligence actions, as well as a confirmation of "no tangible results to report." Notably, there are no photographs or diagrams of individuals or events present on this page. This declassified FBI document is a memorandum from the Phoenix field office dated September 29, 1970.

Where did [REDACTED] learn of the effectiveness of smashing into a person's home at 2:00 Δ. Ν.? Also, of utilizing four persons to threaten the health or life of someone? Is this an example of academic socialism? Should the ASU student body enjoy the guidance of such an instructor?

I. POTENTIAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ACTION Relet commented upon the lack of success in the 11/69 moratorium activities in Tucson which were dominated by the Peace and Freedom Associations (PFA) at Tucson. It was noted that [REDACTED] of the PFA, had caused friction within the ranks of the group. The PFA activities and New Left activities in general in Tucson have diminished considerably in the past two months. On 3/26/70 advised that there is a growing friction between [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] who is a Reserve Index subject in Phoenix and has moved back to Tucson in the past year. Source said that [REDACTED] is presently showing an increasing participation in PFA activities and [REDACTED] increasing apparently resents and is concerned with [REDACTED] influence in the organization. Thus far, their differences have been minor; however, the source feels that the friction could well increase if the PFA activities grow in intensity. This source has been instructed to follow the friction between the two leaders of the PFA so that possible counterintelligence action can be evaluated. If a suitable possibility for this type of action develops, the Bureau will be informed by a separate letter and any specific recommendations will be made by Phoenix at that time. A situation is also developing in the Phoenix area that appears to hold some potential under this program. 1-7/12 P Bureau (RM) Phoenix WRB:gjk (4) [STAMP: REC-64] [STAMP: TRCA] [STAMP: 34 APR 2 1970] [STAMP: RESEARCH SECTION] 54A .F264 /1970/ Buy U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savings Plan PX 105-2683 WRB:gjk an assistant professor at Arizona State University (ASU), located in suburban Phoenix, who is an SI subject based on SWP membership, has been charged by the ASU Administration with unprofessional conduct and The document is a typewritten FBI memorandum with several handwritten annotations and official stamps.
