OPTIONAL FORM NO.18 MAY 112 EDITION GSA FPMR (41 СРЯ) 101-11.8 UNITED STATES GORNMENT Memorandum TO DIRECTOR, FBI (100-449698) FROM : SAC, SAN FRANCISCO (100-60968) SUBJECT: COINTELPRO - NEW LEFT R DATE: 11/16/70 AM Re Cleveland letter dated 10/6/70, Bureau letter dated 10/15/70, New York letter dated 10/26/70, and Chicago letter dated 10/29/70. Cleveland's suggestion that an ad be placed in one of the underground newspapers utilizing the April, 1970, SDS code has some merit, however the following will be noted. If the aforementioned code was known by all of the Weatherman, it has probably since been changed; however, depending upon the extent of the Weatherman communications system, all Weatherman might not be aware of the change in the code and some positive results might be achieved. The Bureau asked if we thought placing such an ad in the "Berkeley Tribe" would be feasible. Although we cannot support this conclusion with concrete evidence, it is that of all the underground papers the "Tribe's" staff would be the one most likely to know the current SDS code and might not publish such an ad, realizing it was a police plant. It is also suggested the SDS fugitives might be leery of contacting a P. O. Box since the letters might be traced. The services of the various switchboards available in large metropolitan areas might offer them more security. In the Bay Area alone there are at least 12 such switchboards according to the underground press. SEC 12 NOV 19 1970 Bureau (PM) San Francisco JEB/see.

San Francisco has had extensive experience in checking post office records on known box numbers and coverage of these boxes and recognizes the difficulty in attempting to locate an unknown box being used by Weatherman. Due to a large transient population, there has been a strong demand and high turnover in rentals at the main post office and sub-stations in San Francisco. This does not include the other San Francisco Bay Area communities of Berkeley, Oakland, South San Francisco, etc. In considering possible means of penetrating Weatherman communications, the utilization of post office boxes was previously considered. was contacted on this question and based upon his experience in the Weatherman organization, he expressed the opinion that the mail is infrequently used as a means of commu- cation because the telephone is utilized in such a manner that it affords secure and instant communication. Although it is recognized that penetrating underground communications is of prime importance, it is believed that investigative manpower consumed in attempting to identify a post office box being used by Weatherman on a countrywide basis would be very costly and that if further consideration is given to this technique, that it be tried on an experimental basis in one field division.

However, to their knowledge the organization had been relatively inactive in this area and they felt that it would be far more proper to wait until they engaged in some activity which would make their article appear newsworthy and prompted by the fact that the Institute for Policy Studies was engaged in a newsworthy item. It would also make it easier for them to ask more direct and embarrassing questions, and they will retain the material furnished and advise when it is used. For the information of Washington Field: [REDACTED] They advised that they had been inactive for several months and that some people they had looked to for help had been away for the summer and no new activities or publications were planned. They also reported that [REDACTED] who was reportedly associated with the Bay Area Institute on one event in April of 1970, had no connection with the organization and was living and working in a cabinet shop in Berkeley, California. 2.

UNITED ST GOVERNMENT Memorandum TO DIRECTOR, FBI (100-449698) FROM SAC, SAN FRANCISCO (100-60968) DATE: 4/27/70 SUBJECT: COINTELPRO - NEW LEFT Re Los Angeles letter to the Bureau, dated 4/16/70 The surreptitious printing of 2,000 "People's World" (PW) subscription reply cards was suggested in referenced letter. This card which contains printer's bug Number 200 was not printed by Garrett Press, San Francisco, California, which does the weekly printing of the PW. It was printed by Cardoza Bookbinding Company in San Francisco. San Francisco has no contacts or sources at the Cardoza Bookbinding Company and no way of knowing the basis of the PW's preference for having these cards printed at that plant rather than at Garrett Press. San Francisco has had good relations over a long period of time with Garrett Press on a number of radical publications. If Garrett Press were the printer of this subscription card, this office would be very reluctant to propose an additional press run. This office knows of no local printer who could be approached to duplicate this card with the Cardoza Company union bug. No further action or recommendation is being considered by the San Francisco Office.

[REDACTED] advised that the IRS is interested in receiving information regarding New Left organizations which have applied for or have received tax exempt status. Some of the organizations in which IRS is interested are the American Friends Service Committee, New Mobilization Committee, Bay Area Peace Action Council, Los Siete De La Raza, San Francisco Mime Troupe, and Glide Memorial Church. It should be noted that investigations on churches or church groups such as the American Friends Service Committee and Glide Memorial Church, cannot be initiated locally, but have to be authorized at the regional level of IRS. Some of the information needed by IRS is as follows: 1. Activities of organizations (rallies, demonstrations, etc) 2. Publications, copies if possible. 3. Any paid employees. 4. Direct or indirect payments to political activists and specific instances of such payments.) 5. Payments of large sums by exempt organizations. Consequently, information in the files would be of inestimable value to IRS in their effort to deny or expel organizations from their tax exempt status. This course of action would necessitate the filing of tax returns and payments of taxes by these New Left groups. It would also mean that contributors would be denied a deduction and may cause them to hesitate to contribute as they may have in the past.
