This page is a declassified FBI document regarding the COINTELPRO program, specifically concerning "NEW LEFT" in San Antonio. The document is primarily text-based, with a large circular emblem at the center that appears to represent the "Freedom of Information Act." There are no photographs, handwritten annotations, or official stamps visible on this particular page. The document is structured with clear headings like "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND PRIVACY ACTS" and "SUBJECT: (COINTELPRO)," indicating its official and formal nature within the FBI's operations. Visual elements are limited to stylized text and the aforementioned emblem.

Bureau directed that all offices submit a detailed analysis of potential counterintelligence action against New Left organizations and Key Activists within their respective divisions. San Antonio is extremely pleased that such a program has been instituted, as San Antonio feels that a successful counterintelligence program can help to stifle the growth of activity of the New Left which in some cases appears to border on sedition. As an over-all recommendation under this program, San Antonio at the outset strongly recommends that the Bureau give serious consideration of preparing or having prepared a small pamphlet or leaflet. The contents of this leaflet should utilize public source information or other material, such as was used in Bureau's document captioned "The New Left---Road to Anarchy," copies of which were forwarded to the field by Bulet to Albany, 2/16/68. The purpose of this proposed document would be to give it widespread circulation to assist in frustrating efforts of the New Left from recruiting new and youthful individuals. San Antonio has in mind a pamphlet similar to the one published by the Catholic War Veterans, Department of Pennsylvania, on the W. E. B. DuBois Clubs of America. San Antonio feels that such a pamphlet would have more effect if it were published by a private or civic nongovernmental organization. Such a pamphlet could be furnished to reliable news media, as well as reliable sources in the [REDACTED] educational field.

SA 100-10510 New Left activity within the San Antonio Division is concentrated primarily in Austin, Texas, the home of The University of Texas. The primary New Left group functioning there is the Students for a Democratic Society. It is estimated that members and sympathizers number about 150. This group has been very active in numerous demonstrations in the past. Three leading figures of the New Left group in the Austin, Texas, area are [REDACTED] All three of the above individuals are Security [REDACTED] and Index subjects of the San Antonio Division. [REDACTED] are CP members and at the Texas State CP Convention [REDACTED] held 5/19/68, [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] were elected members of the Texas State CP Committee. With respect to [REDACTED], he has spoken at practically every New Left rally and demonstration in the Austin area and has travelled to Oklahoma and has recently returned from a visit to Cuba. As a possible immediate counterintelligence action against [REDACTED], San Antonio is considering the advisability of starting a rumor in the Austin area to the effect that [REDACTED] is actually a "Narcotics agent." This could be accomplished through established sources or anonymous mailing. It is reported that some of the New Left have attended "marijuana parties" in Austin. San Antonio feels that by starting such a rumor, it could cause disruption among the New Left and may tend to isolate [REDACTED] as an [REDACTED] influence. San Antonio will make additional recommendations under this program in the near future.

By communication dated 6/11/68, the Bureau did not approve of this technique of using "Narcotics Agent."
