Subsequent publication of the Klan's activities resulted in a number
of Klan officials ceasing their activities, and no information was
developed indicating the Klan was able to expose informants through
the use of the polygraph.
2. On February 29, 1972, FBlliQ responded to a
request of the Louisville Field Office, authorizing an anonymous
letter be forwarded to a Black Panther Party (BPP) office in
New York City. This anonymous lettercontain~d a newspaper clipping
discrediting one _ ,a black extremist
endeavoring to affiliate with the Cleaver Faction of the BPP. SUbsequently
it was determined that "seeds of doubt" concerning Simmons'
leadership qualities had been planted at the Cleaver Faction
Headquarters.
Information relating to the above proposals and
authorizations did not appear in any Cointelpro-type file of this
Bureau. The proposals and authorizations were handled in substantive
organizational and individual files, and no copies were placed
into a Cointelpro file. The FBI communications approving the two
actions were reviewed by various officials at FBIHQ. Office procedures
in effect in Director J. Edgar Hoover's office at the time
indicate both proposals were approved by Mr. Hoover•

(1) if there was a wiretap involved in this case and (2) if there was
a mail intercept in this case. After checkin[;, I called Hall back and
said that we would leave the answer to #1 up to the Department, but
that if the Department saw n~ccssary, the Bureau would not object.

if it might be necessary drop the overt act Where our taiced source

SUBJECT, THE LONG COMMITTEE _.-~
, ,
The Attorney General called on the morning of~
Fe~ruary 27, 1965, to advise he wanted to consult with the
IBureau on certain problems raised by the Long C.ommi ttee, Whic~
is exploring the use of mail covers, et cetera. He noted there
was a po~;.ble problem concerning@hief In;u>ec1;or .MO,ll-tague . s
testimonyJa~d Whether it was neces~~ry forLMontagu~1~o change
his testimonY]. Also, he felt that Internal Revenue Service had
been using iav ·stigative techniques which they should not use
and this could pose a problem. He said -.:hat the President had
asked him to coordinate With all executive agencies concerning
the problems raised by the Long Committee.
Inspector Moore and I met with the Attorney General in· Ihis office this afternoon. Mr. CO],lrtney Evans was prebent. I .

national secur ty i~plications~ontagu~Jshouldnot answer them.

<~ , considerin;~ adVising Long and Fcnstcrwald that there were
~ ext~eme delicate national security matters touching on the areas

the answers given in.the testimony wh"n they touch..d on such
\
senSitive security matters. He said further that he .c.. o..ntemPlates

He: The Long Committee
-- ---- nff,...r.tinfJ' t"'TA
Katzenbach contemplates
askin~ for a list of the witnesses who will appear before the
coamittee together with a brief summary of the expected testimony
On the basis of this, he will be able to advise Senator Long
when he should steer clear of a sensitive area.
I told Mr. Katzenbach that I certainly agree that this
matter should be controlled at the committee lO1vel but that
I felt pressure would have to be applied so that the personal
interest of Senator Long became involved rather than on any
ideological basis. 1.lr. Katzenbach said that he had already
talked to Vice President Humphrey about Fensterwald,
- , and that Humphrey had promised to talk
to Long concerning Fensterwald. Katzenbach said that in
addition to the Vice President he might have to resort to
pressure from the President himself, although he would prefer
to work it out without resorting to the President. He indicated
\there was no one on the committee itself .who could be heloful
. Mr. Katzenbach said that he expected trouble from the
\
POSSible activities of IRS and the military in the investigative
field; that if some of these matters are uncovered before the
coomittee they will tend to undermine the restricted and
tightly controlled operations of the Bureau. I told him that
\
our operations are tightly controlled and part.icularly in the
delicate areas of concern, we restrict ourselves to important
security matters. ~
I Mr. Katzenbach said he was going to see Senator Long·
on Monday and wanted to know if the Bureau would like someone
jto go along with him. I told him no.
ACTION:
Mr. Katzenbach said he would advise
of his conversation with Long. He also asked
the Director of our diSc~ssion and I told him
us of the results

over VVAW by subversive groupS and/or violence-prone
elements in the antiwar movement. Sources had provided
information that VVAW was stockpiling weapons, VVAW had
been in contact with North Vietnam officiaJs in Paris,
France, VVAW was receiving funds from former CPUSA
members and VVAW was aiding and financing U.S. military
deserters. Additionally, information had been received
that some individual chapters throughout the country
had been infiltrated by the youth groups of the CPUSA
and the SWP. A trend of increased militancy developed
within the VVAW and the possibilities of violence
escalated within the organization. During December,
1971, VVAW members forcibly and illc gaIly occupied or
surrounded public buildings and national monuments in
New York City, Philadelphia, Austin, Texas, and
Washington, D. C.
During 1972, the FBI estiw.ated that VVAW had
approximately 1,800 members and 102 chapters throughout
the country. VVAW claimed 23,000 members and 283 chapters.
In 1972, some leaders and activists in the VVAW made
tripS to Europe and Asia during which they participated
in conferences with representatives and/or Officials of
the Soviet Bloc, North Vietnam, and the National
Liberation Front (NLF) of South Vietnam. VVAW leaders
informed the membership that VVAW had been asked to
cooperate on an international level with many organ!?:ations,
inclUding communist or Maoist groupS, describing th.ese
groups as "our friends." When reporting on tripS to
Paris, Moscow and Hanoi, VVAW leaders indicated the
organization was dedicated to ending imperialist
aggression and establishing a firm relationship with
the NLF.
In June, 1972, a delegation of fifteen VVAW
members and leaders attended a war crimes conference near
Paris. The conference, which included representatives
of North Vietnam and the NLF, was sponsored by two
Trotskyist organizations in France. One of the VVAW
national officers addressed this conference and it was
reported that the French Communist Party had paid for
the expenses of the VVAW contingent at the conference.
During OCtober, 1972, the National Steering
Committee (NSC) of VVAW met and discussed the direction
of VVAW and the need to make it an anti-imperialist
