the Student Union Building free of charge, however, no such
IVLM activity has been indicated to date.

STUDE~TS rn~ A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY
A source has advised that the Students for a
Democratic Societv <SDS), as ~rcsent1v regarded, came into
bein~ at a founding convention held Jun~, 1962, at Port Huron,
Michi~an. From an initial posture of "particinatory'democracy"
the line of the nation~l leadership has revealed a growing
Marxist-Leninist adherence which current1v calls for the
building of a revolutionary youth movement. Concurrently,
the program of SDS has evolved from civil rights struggles to
an anti-Vietnam war stance to an advocacv of a militant antiimperiaiist
position. China, Vietnam and Cuba are regarded as the
leaders of worldwide strup,gles against United States imperialism
whereas the Soviet Union is held to be revisionist and also
imperialist.
At the June, 1969, SDS National Convention. Progressive
Labor Party (PLP) forces in the organization were expelled,
As a result, the l1ational Office' (NO) group maintained its
National Headquarters at 1608 West Madison Street. Chicago,
and the PLP faction set up head~uarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
This headquarters subseQuent1v moved to Boston. Each group
elected its own national officers, ~Ihich include three national
secretaries and a National Interim Committee of eight. Both
the NO forces and the PLP forces claim to be the true SDS. Both
groups also print their versions of "New Left Notes" which sets
forth the ~ir.e and the program of the particular faction. The
NO version of "Ne~l Left Notes" \~as recentlv printed under the
title "The Fire Next Time" to achieve a broaqer mass appeal.
Two maior factions have develoned internally within
the NO group, namely, the Weatherman or Revolutionarv Youth
MOvement (RYM) I faction, anc the RYM II faction. Weatherman
is action-oriented upholding Castro's position that the duty
of revolutionari£s is to make. revolution. Weatherman is regarded
by RYM II' as an adventl.lristic, .e1itist faction which
denies the historical role of the working class as the base for
revolution. RYM II maintains that revolution, although desired,
is not possible under present conditions, hence emnhasizes
organizing and raisinn the political consciousness of th~working
class upon whom thev feel successful revolution depends.
Although disclaiming control and domination by the Communist
Party, USA, leaders in these two factions have in the past proclaimed
themselves to be corr.munists and to follow the precepts
of a Marxist-Leninist philosophy, along pro-Chinese communist
lines. .

APPENDIX
A second source has advised that the PLP faction
which is more commonlv known as the Worker Student Alliance
is dominated and controlled by members of the PLP, who are
required to identifv themselves with the pro-Chinese HarxistLeninist
philosonhy of the PLP. They advocate that ~n alliance
between workers and students is vital to the bringing about
of a revolution in the United States.
sns region~ and university and college chapters,
although operating under the outlines of the SDS National
Constitution, are autonomous in nature and free to carry oyt
independent nolicv reflective of local conditions. Because
of this autonomy internal struggles reflecting the major
factional i.nterests of SDS have occurred at the chapter level
since the beginning of the 1969-70 school year.

SYNOPSIS
.:..... ~.( .•.
_.~ ~"/,' ~~.~
In June, 1964, a new special Desk was created in the Interna
Security Section, Domestic Intellir;ence'Division, ns a result of my
mcmornn~ur.l to you:;/20/61, to concentratc"ori-'the investir:ation into
the communist influence in racinl mntters. This investignt10n was to
be handled by two Supervisors, one beinr: sepnrated from the Communist
Party Unit nnd one from the ComlUunist Front Unit. To nssimilate the
other lVorlt heinr, IeIt by those Supervisors, it was necesSnry to obta1n
an ndditional Supervisor. This mntter lVas looked into by the InspectJ
1)1vision which recol1L"llended. and it was approved, that an adcJ1tional
Supervisor, Special J\~cut. ~....n "~c::.;fl:ncd on a temporary
basis, with the thour,ht that as soon ns we could s:li'c:ly do so, the nw
SuperVisors would be sent back to their respective Units. The necessity
for our intensification of the investij;ation of communist inOul'n'
in racial matters has not abated, but has increased. There is no-s1gn
of a· letup. The Communist Front Unit. w!lere the temporary Supervisor
n..o;s1r,ned, has nlso shown oln increase in its case load, The "tempora~y
nature of the situation is now believed to be "permanent." .
ODSEfiVIITIONS:
The necessity for the temporary Supervisor whom we obtaincd
in carly June, 196,1, 1s more than ever present. Our work load in the
communist influence in racial matters which gencrated the nccessity
for a temporary SuperVisor has been steadily 1ncreasin;::, \'lith no sign
of a letup; the worlt in the Communist Front Un1t where the temporary
Supervisor has hecn assir:ned has also increased. The "ter,lporary"
nnture of the situation 1s now believed to be 'J>erm;lJ[Clit.- '
RECOtlLlE1IDATION: REC4
That the one Spolllni -Agent, who was assir;nc

.nd, in :1ddition, there :1re definite indications that the l13P will be _.

such as the MSP will extend into ot~er states. In addition,
under date of 8/29/61, a letter was submitted to all 0ffices instructinr,

matter.
The Communist Front Unit, which is where the temporary Supervisor
is ass inned, has also shown an increase in its case load. As of
10/1/G1 the Communist Front Unit had 392 pendinr; investir:ations as coopared
to 375 pendinr: investir;ations as of 7/I/G·!. The recent Supreme

Interoal Security Act of 1950 have breathed new life into' the, Party.
The Party is now takinr; bolder steps to carryon its work 'in ~ass
orr;anizations, as well as creatine: new front orr,anizations. One case
in point is tlJat dealinr: with the IV. E. D. DulJois Clubs of America,
Inc., the Dew national Party youth orr,:mization. The formation of
this youth r:rou!' was finalized at a National Convention in June, 1961,
~hich was held in San Francisco, California, and was attended by
approximately 150 youths. Since that time several affiliates of this
group have come in~o existence. One of the pla~ for action decided
upon by the group was to have affiliates of the group formed on college
campuses throur:hout the United States; therefore, it can be expected
that in the i",mecliate future after these various youths have returned
to their college campuse5, they will form such campus r:ro\lps. This
will represent not only nn .increase in case load, but will also
increase the wor!: of the field in penetratinr: and follo';l'inr: the
activities of such r:roups. This will call for close supervision of
these groups clue to the nature of the m:t.i<e-up of the club,; and the
fact that they arc located On colle!,:e ca"'puses in order to avoid any
embarrassment to the Bureau. It is also anticipated that with the
advent of the fall and winter seasons, Ehe Party will step up its
activities in attempting to penetrate lel~itinate ",ass orr:anizations
nnd in estahlishing new front e:roups to carryon the Party's ",ork on
issues in ~hich the Party ~i11 hava an interest.

that the parents of one of these individuals would appear at a rally during the
DNC,
On 8/25/64 Assislant Director Cartha DeLoach telephoned a memorandum
to Mr. Mohr from Atlantic City to the effect information from Walter Jenkins
and informants indicated lhe question of seating the MFDP delegates was expected
to reach the floor of the DNC the evening of U/2o/64. He said "The crucial point
of the convention in so far as possible violence is concerned will occur helween
4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. this afternoon, If the Mississippi Freedom Democratic
Party is not seated then lhe unruly elements within the Negro group will possibly
attempt to deinonstrate." DeLoach indicated lhat every effort was being extended
to coyer developments pertinent to lhis possible violent siluation.
There follows uncleI' appropriate caplion in summary form information
relative to our coverage at lhe DNC.
COVERAGE RELATIVE TO POTENTIAL CIVIL UNREST,
DEMONSTRATIONS AND POSSII3LE VIOLEN CE _
A review of the summaries furnishf'd to Walter Jenl{ins by Mr. DeLoach
during the DNC indicates O\'er 25 separate entries dealing with demonstrations
insofar as their times, p!:lces, groups involved, number of participants, and
general rialure thereof were concerned. A g:reM majority of the Burc:lu personnel
still on active duly who wel'e assi[:ned to this special squad in Atlantic City
have indicated that the aUaining of intelligen('(? information relative 10 possible
violent civil'disorders was the primary pUr)«68 of their eHorls during the DNC.

as the protection of the President was concerned, One Agent indicated
that 13ure:1u personnel did, in fact, actively ass'ist in the protection of the
President and his famIly while they were at the DNC.
A review of Bureau file ,captioned "Disruption of Democratic

A further review of the DeLoach summaries re\'ealed approximately

unrest· dcmonslrat,i.ons or with the prolection of the President. These items
were developed as a result of lhe various types of coverage we had at the DNC

The only inform:ltion'located in Bureau files concernin~
the speci:ll squac! in Atnlntic City was :In eic;ht-rar;e memorandum (copy att:lched)

DeLoach to Mohr c1:lted 8/29/G4 which sets forth that in connection With the
assi[;nment of the special squad in Atl:lntic City at the direction of the President,
DeLoach wished to report the successful cOl/lpletion o[ this assignment. He
states th:lt by me:lnS of informant covera[;e, use of various confidential techniques,
infiltration of key groups through use of undercover :lgents and throu[;h
utilization of Agents using appropriate cover as reporters. we were able to
keep the White House fully apprised of all major developments. DeLoach also
advised that 'immediate liaison was established in Atlantic City with Secret
Service as well as slale and local police.
This memorandum refers to highly confidential coverage of Marlin Luther
King and Bayard Hustin. along WIth similar coverage established on the leadquarters
of the Congress of Rlcial Equality (CORE) - Student Nonviolent
Coordinatin[; Committee (SNCC). DeLoach states he was able to advise the
Y'hite House in aC!VODce Qr.alLpl:lns made by these two sources and coverage
was highly effective. DeLoach advises "with Bureau approval" he inS~!uted I. ;'(
coverage on COH~ - SNCC heodquarters ot their meeting hall and our. ::",,,uo
penetrated the headquarters of the Mississippi Freedom
Democratic ParCy '(two separ:lte factions were contesting seats for the Mississippi
deler;ation and was} highlight of the convention) and through cooperation with the
management of NBC news our Agents were furnished NBC press credenti:lls.
DeLoach reported that 44 rages of intelligence data was disseminated to Walter
Jenkins at the While House and to his memorandum he attached a copy of these
daily summaries elated 1l/24. 2~,26, 27/(~~. Thcc~ :;"mmaries are in effect

\ at this time DeLoach was responsible for liaison with the White House and had
a direct line at his residence to the President so it weil may be that this rECluest

T. J. Smith to Mr. E. S. Miller memorandum dated 3/11/7;

to the fact that h'C have been conducting a seveJl-month I'.::" analysis

By way of background, the ADEX is an outgrOl'th of the old
SC"curity Index program h'hich in itself ",as an intcgr~l part of
the Emergency Detention Program. The Emergency Detention Program
in latter yeaTs derived its autllority from Title II of the 111teTIlal
Security Act of 1950 (better known as the Emergency Detention Act).
In the Fall of 1971 the Emergency Detention Act was repealed by
Congress and we, of course, immediately Jiscontinucd tilC Emergency
Detention Program. Since the Security Index was in actuality ,
an extension of an integral part of the Emergency Oetciltion
Program, it was believe. that the Security Index as .it was
structured should also be discontinuc~_n 10
..,:~ ,I litLJ- v
From an a~ministrativc St311dpoiTlt, however, it was'
believed that the Bureau should be able to immediately identify
individuals who constitute a threat to the national security,
particularly during time of national emcrgcllcy. The Security
Index enabled us to retrieve inforlnatioTl pinpc,inting SllCll
individuals. Representatives of tIle Department, during a l"ceting
following repeal of tIle Emergency Dctentiorl Act, pointed out tllat
even though Congress has now prohibited D program for emergen~y

Accardillgly, we devise(j tIle Administrative Il1dcx for ti,c purpose

Security Irldcx as J basis for settillg tIp tIle Aclillinistrativc Index.
The major .difference, of course, was that h')lcrcas persons listed
ill Sccllrity In(tcx Ilad been listed witll a view of possilJle
apprehension and detention, the persons heing listed in ADEX
~ould not be subject to detention, but would be listed for ready
identification purposes.
Since persons listed in ADEX would not be subject to
apprC'hcnsi on and dctcnti on I the rcqIJi rement for Departmental
concurrence in listing no longer existed. Also, since tile
!detention factor was 110 1011ger a major issuc, pcrsolls could be
,listed irrespective of degree of tllrcat they may rcpresent to
Ithe natio1131 security.
Criteria for listing in ,\11[X \,'cre broken dO\"l1 into four
categories. EacJl category, beginning with Category I, contained
a listing of perSOJI~ and Category I listed tllose cOJlsi,lered most
dangerous to tile national security,' wllile Category IV listed
those least dangerous. As of July IS, 1972, there ,,,erC' 15,259
individuals listed in AOEX. Of tllis total 1,334 were Ciltegory I;
3,452 were Category II; 8,560 were Category Ill; and 1.913 were

ASSESSMENT or Aorx
ADf:X has no\~ !)CCTI in operation about 8 montlls and we
have had J challce to CV:J.IU;ltc its opcTntion and cffcctivCllCSS.
Bas C cl on dis C U 5 5 i 0115 \y' i t h ric 1 d pc r son n (' 1 a$Hell as 0 u r 0 \\ n
obscrvatiollS, lie believe that several major changes should be
made at this time.
(1) \'.'lli Ie ADCX has not been intended as an investir.ativc
program I it is 50m0h'hat of an extension of Security Inclcx which
was an integral pal"t of an investigative jJTogram, and tllcrc arc
vestiges of the investigative program appal"ent in 0111' operation
of AVEX. AVEX must be cle"rly separ.ted from investigative
crIteria and policy so that it represents a mere by-pronllct or
administrative SU]l!lIcmcTlt to our invcstigations and not 35 a
guidcline or controlling factor in ~J1C investigation itsclf,
The very'nature of the criteria for inclusion of individu.1ls in
AUEX arc such to generatc investigativc activity Wllicll nlay not
be necessary were it not for AOEX. Reporting proccdl'res for a
great bul~: of our security c~scs arc based OJl tllC category of
AlJEX or the fact that the subj ect is Ii steu in AOEX. A great
deal of investigative activity is created because of tile rcqlJircmcnt
of periodic verifici1tion of residcnce and employmcnt addresses.
In otller words, existence of ADEX creates investigative and
reporting activity wlliell might not be Ileccssary otllerwise.
(2) It is boIieveu that AlJEX is neeulessly complex,
particl1larly from tllC standpoint of criteria for inclusion
of an individual in the AUEX, and is administratively cumbersome.
(3) Most important, it is believeu thor in light of the
conditions existing today. particularly with rcspect to cmphasi.<;
on invasion of llri\'acy .111(1 otllcr FiTSt and r:ourtll Amendment
rights, the current criteria for designating illJividLlals for ADEX
arc too broad and all-cnco~lpassing. As a resLllt, tllerc are some
ilIdividuJls now included ill ADEX even tl10ugll tlley do flat realistically
l'oSC J tllrcat to tlIe Jl~ltional security. For cX:lmplc.

subversive or revolutionary groups but ....,ho have "exhibi ted a
revolutionary ideology" and arc likely to seize upon the opportunity

If for no other reason but practicality, it is believed
that fll1[)" should be a list of individuals who realistically represc .. t
an illimcclintc tllrc~t to tlle 113tiono.1 scucrity, as opp0scd to
indi\'jJuals W)lD mil:})t theoretically ])05C a tJ)rc~t in tile future
Iinder n given set of CirCll)ll~tanccs. We .recognize that allyonc
h'ho 11as cmuracct! J phi 1050phy that includes an ovcrthroh' of the
Amel'ic~n for~l of go\'ernnlcilt is a potcntial enemy of the Government.
Il()""c\'~r. in man}' such inst<lnce~, an individual may believe in some
otl\c1' [orIn of l:ovcfllment Jlut woulJ be unwilling to cng5ge in
activity more violent tllan philosophical discussions.
On tIle otller siclc of the coin is an individual WIlD nL~
only embraces the philosophy of overthrow of the Government, but is
actual 1)' engaged in some form of activity tIesigned to bring about
that o\'ert,hrol'" hy force or violencc or other unconstitutio:lal means.
It is tllis latter illdividual 1'0'110 woulel seize upon any type of
nati onal emergency to exploi t a weakness in Governmental functions
ill all effort to wrest C011tT01, or who would co~mit violent acts
such <lS' bombillgs of public buildings which arc symbolic of our
national institutions; anlbllsh killillgS of police officers who
arc tllC visible symbol of our democratic system; attack water
supplies, ])ower ·systems, or trans!Jortation facilities in an
effort to create a Cl130tic void into which a reVOlutionary force
might he able to supplant the Government. This is the type of
individual who should be listed in the ADEX.
Itis therefore proposed that the existing I\DEX with four
categories representing an unrcalistic conccl)t of individuals
constituting a threat to the national sccurity be revised so that
it ,;ill include only' one category. This would be a list of
illdivitll1als WilD represent 3n actllal danger 110\~ to tI,e national
security. It is believed tllat sucll a list would embrace most of
the individuals currently listed in Categories I and II of ADEX,
or a total as of 7/15/72 of 4,786 individuals.

To do tllis tile criteria would be changed to read as
follows:
tlADEX sllould be limi ted to those individuals Hhosc
actions or statements Itava clearly established that they represent
a current threat to the national security.
"Includccl arc individuals, whether affiliated I.... ith organized
grollps or not, \~110 have 5110wn a willingness ~nd capability
for engaging in treason, rebellion or iflsurrcction, sedi tious
consIliracy, sabotage, espionage, terrorism, gllcrrilla ~arfarcJ
assassination of Government officials or leaders, or atllcr such
acts which wOllIJ result in interference witl} or a tJ1Tcat to the
survival Jnd effective operation of national, state J O'r local
government.
"The foregoing would include leaders of organizatior
~Ilose aims include the overthrow or destrllction of the United States
or tile government of any State, Territory, district, or possession
thereof, or the government of any political subdivision tllcrein,
by unlah'ful mCJ.ns. Individuals affiliated \~'ith such organizations
who have demonstrated a willingness and capability of activity
set forti' under criteria set fortll above would be included, bllt
. mere J~cmbershir in such organization is not sllfficicnt to justify
inclusion in ADEX.
"Individuals should be considered a I current threat I tc
the national sCcllrity when rcliable information lIas been
developed that they have engaged in activity falling within
the above-described crit~ria during the past two years and
there is no indication that they have given up or ceased to
engage in su~h activity.~
Adoption ryf these new criteria will probably result
in deletion from ADEX of numerous individuals who arc connected
with subversive org<lnizations. For cxamplc, there wert.:: 4501
Communists in Categories III and lV of ADEX .5 of 7/15/72.
Additiollally tllere ,arc menlbers of Socialist Workers Party,
Progressive Labor Party, etc. who will not meet tile revised
criteria of being dangerous nm.... It is believed that the
Bur~au should maintain a list of StIC/I individtlals aside from
AOEX in tIle event we had to quickly identify known subversives
'.-j_-:" throughoul' the country. \(c "ill therefore suhmit a scpar:ttc
.proposal to establish a "Communist Index" which \ViII require a '--' f IJnpdicum of effort on the part of the field and Bureau ·lleadquartcrs.

SllCh a list would also be advantageous in quickly
identifying extremists, who though not posing a threat to the
natiol1al security, do seck to deny constitutional rights \>£
others, or arc \~Ilitc or black Cl13uvinists or nationalists who
tllcivc on race llatrcds and ctJlnic discord. I~c will also
propose that J counterpart to the "Communist Index" be established
to be knol\"'n as the ltExtremist Index." Neither of these indexes
will COJlstitutc a program but will merely bea listing Wl1ich will
be computerized 'for ready retrieval at any time we n~cd to quickly
identify persons of this type who were involved in activity inimic~l
to t"hc national interest. Details concerning these indexes \o/il1
be included in the separate proposal.

It is difficult if not impossible to estimate a manpower
savings ~as result of redefining ADEX and streamlining its operation.
Iioliever, based on the premise that the revised ADEX would contain
IJrimnrily w}lat is 110W Categories I &II, this would mean that about
10,473 individuals would be dropped. If these remained on flDEX,
this many ·cases would be opened during a twelve-month period due
to Jlcccssity to verify employment and residence addresses and to
report any pertin~nt data developed to date. These cases would be
1n a closed status in the field and would be reopened on a
regular staggered basis.
fI canvass of ten field offices including New York,
Newark, Cincinnati, Cleveland, ~Iilwaukee, ~Iinneapolis, San Francisco~
Los flngeles, Chicago and Philadelphia resulted in an estimate
that rough ly 89', of the "bove-described total of 10,473 cases
would be affected. These offices could not give any realistic
estimate of r.lanpo\."cr involved. However, using purely a caseload
average of 40 cases per Agents as ,a guide; using the 89~o cstirrlatc
of the offices canvdssed, there liould be 9,311 cases opened over
a 12-month period Or about 776 cases per month. When r~vision of
fiDEI has been approved and the neli criteria have been furnished
to the field, Domestic Intelligence Division will canvass each
Special flgent in Charge to deterMine specifically, on the basis
of the revised criteria J the manpower savings which can be
directed to higher priority security work. The Inspection
Divisiol1, of course, will be in the best position to evaluate
the impact of the revisions in their field audits of fiDEI.
