Authority is not being granted for Denver to place
an anonymous telephone call to Black Panther Party (BPP)
Headquarters in view of the age of those involved.
For the information of Denver, no specific
counterintelligence activity should be conducted without ..
specific prior Bureau permission. In view of these instructions,

NOTE:
..
.~

Denver has requested permission on a OACB basis to

place an.anonym~us telephone call to BPP Headquarters concerning
the arrest of BPP fugitives in Denver on 6/5/69. The purpose
of ~he call is to further the fear of BPP members of
additional arrests. We are turning their suggestion down as
thos~ involved are teenagers. In addition, .e are instructing
Denver that no counterintelligence should be undertaken on a
OACB basis.

Re Omaha letter to Director 6/2/69.

From 4/13/69 through the end of the school year the
Black panther party chapter in Des Moines, Iowa, organize~ a
"Breakfast Program for Children" at two churches in Des Moines.
This program was kicked off on 4/13/69 by the Black panther
party with a rally at Goode park, Des Moines,at which requests.
.
were made for donations of money
.
and food for this program. . .,:
Once this program was instituted and publicized it .
received favorable comment and support from both the black and ..".
white communitiesjand the "Des Moines Register", a daily Des
Moines, Iowa, newspaper, praised the Panthers for this program '".- '",

noting that when the Panthers instituted this type of program / ' •...:
in the black commuqity they had, in effect, achieved something
·the -Des Moines School Board had been unable. to accomplish.
-It is to be noted that this acceptance of the Black
panther breakfast program in the Des Moines area is not unusual
inasmuch as the Des Moines community has not looked upon the . :
existence of the Des Moines Black Panther party as a threat to
either the black commun or the Des Moines community in general.
The panthers have comment, as well as
favorahle comments by notwithstanding
the other activities in Des lloines.
In view of the foregoing, it would be most difficult
to undertake any kind of counterintelligence activity relative
to the Black Panther Party breakfast program, and no recommendation
in this regard is being submitted.

ReOMlet 6-16-69.
Rcfer~nced letter pointed out tbat tbe BFP Breakfast
for Children Proeram was ..'ell received in Des Moines and was
praised by various civic organizations and the press. It 1&
apparent that the counterintelligence program of the Omaha
Office has not been effective and needs a fresh approach.
The BPP has extorted food for this program from
local businessmen allover the country and most probably 1n
Des Moines also. The children receiving the food also
received "political training." In some cases they sang "Free
Buey." In other cases they use BPP coloring books which show
. , youngsters shooting policemen and contain such statements as
I "the pig is afraUl of black children because they are brave
I war"riors. "
·'The Omaha Office should review its files for
information of the nature set forth above in an effort to
formulate an effective counterintelligence against the
breakfast prograc.
The Bureau is presently preparing a communication
with illustrative enclosures for the assistance of all offices
which have a breakfast program.

The sam~ with reliable contacts at 'the

-any specific indication of indoctrination of the fed hungry
schoe1 children with black extremism. However, sourceS
observed young hunery children fed by the DP breakfast
program will remember, "The Black Panthers fed me."
Thougn diversion of some donations forthe BPP's
breakfast program to other BP activity or members appears
probable, specific confirmation of such diversion has not
been developed. Access to the Chapter's bank account has ,
been denied. If the account becomes accessible in 'the future,
it will be carefully analyzed. '
But, eiven any future access to 'the Chapter's
account, a recent deve

nformed during th~ breakfast

was apparent financed by publicized
Chapter solicitations of cash,food, and vitamin donations
from various merchants, stores and suppliers, largely in
,the Negro community. Though SOr.le rumors of pressure tactics

Re Los Angeles letter to Bureal, 6/3/69.

Counterintelligence Operations
in Effect Against the Black Panther Party (BPP)
No new counterintelligence operations have been
placed in effect against the BPP since date of referenced
letter.
Interviews with BPP members continue on a regular
basis and this has caused considerable consternation as
evidenced by threats made recently by a BPP member against
FBI agents When they attempted to interview him.
Counterintelligence Operations
Under Consideration
Reference is made to San Diego airte1 to Bureau dated
.5/27/69 enclosing a cartoon making reference to a coalition of
the Black Student Council, and MAYA, suggesting that it might
be used to distribute on the campuses in the Los Angeles area.
Inasmuch as most of the campuses are being closed for summer
vacation, no consideration is being given to the suggestion
by the San Diego Office.

they called "Black Swnmer, 1969." This manifesto,
directed to City and County officials, presented a
nUl3ber of non-nee;otiable demands in connection with'
employment, recreation, and swnmer educational
programs for which they demanded a response by 6/1/69.' ..• ~. "
The 6/1/69 ultimatum date was given extencive publ1citf..·:,';,~·· ,
in Buffalo Hee;ro press and a representative of "'us Now I J ,

throuc;hout the ghetto area. Eventually the entire East
Side .of Buffalo was alarmed over the prospects for a racial
disturbance ab~ut 6/1/69.
The Buffalo Office, in keeping "lith racial . / . '
intellie;ence responsibility during 5/69, conducted a series·
of intcrviel'ls l~ith rank and file members of "Us NOIoI" .

Be Mobile letter to Bureau, 2/28/69.
1) Operations Under Consideration
None. As previously reported, the only
Black Nationalist group in this Division was the youth
Progressive Committee in Montgomery, Ala., which is DO
longer in existence. There are representatives of the
Southern Christian Leadership Conference within the
Mobile Division, but no operations have been considered
against them as of this time.
2) Operations Being Effected {'
None.

- 3} Tangible Results
Interviews with the members of the youth
Progressive Committee in Montgomery conducted during
regular investigative activity served as a disruptive
factor and contributed materially to the break-up of this
group. It is also felt that these interviews prevented
members of this group from opening the Apollo Bar as a
business venture as originally planned.

police and federal authorities for the "illegal" actions
that these agencies have taken against the BPP. Of note
is the described FBI role in this alleged "repression."
According to this arUcle, the FBI has acted illegally in.·.

.- Within recent" weeks a relatively small, but bighly ",Y"
vocal group of young'Puerto Ricans has emerged in the
Spanish speaking community, utilizing the name Young Lords.
Essentially a youth or street gang in nature, it has adopted
the pose of a political organization, and an affiliation
with the BPP has arisen. It appears ~hat the real nature
of this group, and those associated with it, are not generally'
recognized by the responsible elements in the community,
an6 the file of this group, and of those persons in and '.,
associated with it, are being rE"viewed with the end of ","
developing a suitable counterintelligence program. A
recommendation will be provided the Bureau in the event an
effective action can be formulated.

The suggestion sct forth in referenced airtel

I must be turned down. The preparation and subsequent

delivery of "hot" e.romunition is dangerous insofar as the

I product could easily find its wcy into the possession

of an innocent person. Once this ammunition is dropped
in front of Black Panther Party (BPP) headquarters there
I, . . is no more control by Bureau Agents.
I I·

San Diego has requested permission to overload

pistol and revolver ammunition so that when discharged, it
would destroy the weapon. This ammunition would be placed
in bags and anonymously abandoned in front of both the BPP
headquarters and US headquarters in San Diego. San Diego
believes~that the ammunition would be found immediately by
a member of one of the groups and subsequently utilized in
firearms practice or assassination attempts. We are turning
the suggestion down as the results~cannot be assured and a
loss of control would take place as soon as the ammunition
is abando~. Innocent children could pick up the bags and

The publicity given to the expulsion of Carmichael

could be to the effect that Carmichael was adamant against

weakening in their antiWhite stand, therefore, a split :';
developed and Carmichael Was dismissed. ;- ,

-NOTE: .o'

ReBulet instructed San Francisco to prepare, if
Possible, a counterintelligence letter expelling Carmichael,
from the BPP. San Francisco raised a question in a later:'
·~ . ,
communication and we are reiterating instructions set '
forth in BUlet 6/17/69. San:FraHcisco advises that since
Stokely' Carmichael's name was not listed as an officer In:
the last issue of the Black Panther'Party paper, he was
probably dismissed already. In spite of San FranCisco's
observation we believe we should still carry on this action,
because it could be highly effective in splitting the Black'
Panther PartY,m~~bership.

II )' DETROIT DIVISION

/1), (00: DETROIT)
I ' J
I
The following counter intelligence has been utilized
I successfully in Detroit to create disruption and dissension
within the Detroit BPP for the purpose of further reducing
its effectiveness.
Informants and sources have been instructed, when
feasible, to inject into their conversations with Detroit
BPP members statements which could result in creating
fractionalism and distrust among the general membership and
between the members and the leaders. An example of this
has been to be critical to a party brother of an action taken
by.~ leader in the handling and accounting of party funds
in the BPP Breakfast Program. Stress has been placed on
possible.Oiversion of such funds for the leaders personal
use or gain especially when one of the leaders has expressed
no interest in advising the members of how the funds have
been utilized. Another opportunity to be critical of the
local party leadership occurred follo~ling a Detroit PD raid
and arrest of BPP individuals which occurred at local party
headquarters. The criticism in this instance was the lack
of security planning by local leaders to prevent a surprise
raid by the police or other individuals. Further issue was
made of the selection of the headquarters site, the physical
set up, and how the police were able to confiscate stolen
property at party headquarters. Stress was placed on the

Possibility of an informant working within the local bead- .>

quarters presumably one of its officers working in conjunction

with the police and setting up the raid. It is to be noted
-that during the Detroit Police raid on local party headquarters,
none of the top party leaders were arrested. Following the
reported suicide of MICHAEL BAYNHAM, Minister of Defense,
Detroit BPP, sources reported there were numerous rumors and
stories in local BPP circles as to what actually happened to
B'YNHAM. To further cloud and confuse the facts surrounding
BAYNHAM's de3th, sources theorize he actually died at the
hands ofa bighly placed Detroit BPP leader whom BAYNHAM bad
discovered stealing party funds. Anotber theory offered was
that BAYNHAM waa a suspected police informant and it was
felt that his deatb would "shake up" tbe party locally
causing them to clean bouse and fall in line with Hational .
Headquarters BPP policies. Sources advised tbat as a result
of the implication of these actions, the Detroit BPP bas
been,split wide open. Members are suspicious of each otber;
they'are vitally concerned for their own safety; and as one
source stated members are "looking over tbeir shoulder"
expecting bodily barm to come to them. Kany members have
expressed that they want out of tbe BPP and desire to sever
their ties with the BPP.
Sources~have been instructed that wben they are making
statements aimed at causing disruption they are to deal
with issues that in no way would expose them as being
informants and from which they would not be the victims of
any retalitory action by tbe BPP.

BLACK PANTHER PARTY (BPP)

DETROIT DIVISION
(00: DETROIT) '.'

The BPP since its inception in Detroit, has

experienced considerable difficulty in operating in a fluid
manner. Some of the difficulty stems from its lack of
qualified and capable leaders. The organization has furter "

been. hampered by a lack of direction and almost total

absence of interest by the general membership. Additional ,
complications have beset the group inasmuch as it has not \.
had available adequate orders to operate for any' reasonable '--,
'.
~~
length of time. Further it has suffered due to the dirth
1
" of operating capital.
'

~ ~ ,Detroit-proposes utilizing the following cointel

.;:" technique as a disruptive measure within the Detroit BPP.
I,' r~ . ,',The cointel would be in the form of an anonymous letter
sent to a representative number of Detroit BPP leaders and
members. A copy of the letter is set out below.
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Who I S next? You, me, who kno~ls. Are you
concerned? I am. How come our brothers are
being murdered and arrested and our headquarters
are raided by the pigs? Who tells the pigs about
the location of our headquarters, our leaders, our
members, and our activities? Who tells ~,he ~igs, > ' J{

about the travel of our leaders and other

brothers who are trying to flee and hide from
the pigs? How is it when we have such great
security, trusted leaders and members, the pigs
are still able to bust us whenever they please?
How can the pigs ~et such privileged information
enabling them to obtain search warrants so that
they can' legally" vamp our headquarters? Who
issues orders for the execution of our brothers?
How about our brother who got it in New Haven
and the "suicide shooting" of Brother Baynham
in Detroit? The pigs call it 'suicide" but Where
is the gun he ki lled himself wi th? Who's
kidding who? Isn't it bad enough that we have
to fight the outside pigs yet alone worry about
the pigs inside our party. When you got a pig
hiding in your midst you've got to find him and
eliminate him before he eliminates you. Who is
the pig here who has caused the murder of one of
our brothers and caused all the trouble we've
had here? Are the pigs local or national? And is
he controlled at our local or national head-
- quarters? wi got pigs among us alright or else we
wouldn't have lost Brother Baynham. Nationally
our-brothers are grabbed by the pigs in cities
like Denver and Salt Lake City. How would the
pigs know where to find one of our brothers in
Salt Lake when we don't have a chapter there?
Looks like the pigs are feeding each other doesn't
it? Why the purge of Brother Calli and Brother
Diggs here? Why is it us party members are always
suspected and purged when the party control is
with our leaders? Let's take a closer look at our
leaders because this is where the power, money,
and control is? This is where we'll find the pigs
who give assistance to their brother pigs. Speaking
of leaders, why not start with chief ptg Hilliard.
How clean is he? I want to work for the party
because I'm young dedicated and belip.ve in the
cause bu t I don't want to die or be a '"suicide""
f ~eath for the pigs fat. Let's live by our motto
"all power to the people not just the leaders".

b e following proposal 1s suggested as a means' to";:. "

cause the Black Panther Part,- (BPP) rank and file to lose '.,'.
confidence in the BPP National Collll1l1 ttee and chapter leaders: ,
~ho support the National Coromlttee.' ,
It is suggested that in interviews with members of
the BPP, particularly those who at least express a sincere. ".
interest in the principles set down by HUEY P. NEWTON, 1 t be '
hinted that there is a possible conspiracy going on at the' ,
Na tional Headquarters between CHARLES GARRY', BOBBY SEALE, and,'
DAVID HILLIARD to keep NE\{l'ON in Jail. 'Ihis theme could be
developed further by asking 1f there is any truth to the
rumor that lIE\{l'Oll has said, "There is no Black Panther Part,-."
Numerous approaches can be used to fUrther the theme, the ','
'. foll9~ing are merely a few •
.. Asking whether GARRY' has really kept NEWTON 1n Ja11,
because of legal moves he did not use to get the bail set
during appeal. That this was done with the approval of SEALE,~
and HILLIARD but only 1f they continued to get part ot the ;, .
funds trom the Newton-G1eaver Defense Committee. That these
funds have been channeled through GARRY's law firm and placed
in a secret account in Switzerland so that when things go -".' "
bad for SEALE and HILLIARD 1n the States they can get away."'.
"
.-
:

Foreign travel of SEALE can be referred to above to

lend credence to the story.

.And, it is easier to get funcis for the part,' as long as BUElC.~I>.:.-';~;c~·
is in j all. . C":.'/'./£.T'f;J;;;'.
Prior to NE'trrolf's conviction, BOBBY SEALE 'sa1dthai:;:~>
the sky would be red if HUE.Y was convicted. Question .mether'·.:,.·:,·
this was bad t1.m1ng because of the intiMidation involved which,>;'_,
forced the court to convict hiM of SOMething just to show the ........;
Panthers that the courts would not be intiMidated. Con-. '; __ <;"'.:;.:.
sequently, the jury convicted NEWTON ot the charge ot in';' ""':':.~";:"':
voluntary manslaughter, when it had only talked about DlUrder :~-:.
before. It could had been bad timing, or it could have been· .
intentional. The skies did not turn red as SEALE claiJlled; in .
fact, SEALE said cvol it, so the appeal would not be .rfected.·:
It could also be brought up that ELDRIDGE CLEAVER got
wise' to GARRY, SEALE and HILLIARD and kept his own separate loot.
And when it cQllle tiMe to put bis leGal problems back in GARRY·.•.;
hands, he felt he had better get out before he rotted in ·jail·;····: ,.
like I J E W T O U . , .
To carry off the basic proposition that the BPP'::"
leaders are tryin& to keep NEWTON jail, interviewing agents ,-.,.:.":.:'
" wiJd,"Decessarily have to judge the situation for theDISelves.,.:·;
An antagonistic Panther will not allow the necessary dialogue.:">..
Rank and ·file Panthers are usually JIlOre willing to talk if the .
circUJllstances are right. Everything depends 'on presentation.' ; ::'"
If the intervietlee thinks he thought of the conspiracy, than ._
the rUJllor is started. .~
.' _. -".~ .
It is felt whero sYlllpatby for the Panther program '.':
has grown it is usually because the intentions expressed are :.:.'."
popular in the ghetto cOJlllllunit,'. but the actual programsot .
the party are merely hate and violence. , If the party leaders .' '.
appear to be takiT,g advantage of the ghettos also then the ."., ,';":':
luster will be lost. If a rUJllor ot this nature were to filter'
its way up frOM the rank and file ot the BPP. reflecting that

it is not felt at this time that counterintelligence
techniques against the LRBW are warranted.
Should LRBW activity at local automotive
plants increase, Detroit will reaxsider instituting " .
counterintelligence techniques.

2. Detroit Black Panther Party

Recently the Detroit Black Panther Party
sUffered the loss of MICHAEL BAYNHAM, local Minister of
Defense. His death has been described as a suicide but
because of the many unusual aspects of his death, party
mellbers locally suspect foul play. This, coupled with other
internal problems of the Detroit ~, has caused the party
to halt its operations at least .temporarily. Further, counter-
intelligence techniques will be proposed to prevent it from
becolling a significant force in Detroit.
3. Ad-Hoc Action Group, Citizens of Detroit
Black United Fund (BUF)
League of Revolutionary Black Workers (LRBr)
Student Mon-Violent Coordinating COllllittee (SNCC)
These groups have achieved no measure of success
in their attellpts to act as disruptive forces in the area.
sur and SNCC are defunct and activities of the LRBI have
practically ceased. Generally speaking, individuals involved
with these groups have now associated themselves with MBEDC.
4. Miscellaneous - Black Mationalist Individuals
Consideration has been given to the utiliZation
of Cti techniques on individuals functioning within the RNA
and the BPP.
II. OPBRATIONS BEING EFI'ECTED
DetrOit is currently awaiting Bureau approval on
& counterintelligence proposal submitted relating to the
Detroit BPP. In addttion, another counterintelligence
technique is in the process of being prepared, which hOpe-
fully wl11 result in creating a wide split between factions
of the RNA and the NBEDC. Continuous attention is being
directed to the effective use of a source at the Detroit
News, a dally Detroit newspaper.
III. TANGIBLB RESULTS
. The BPP in Detroit has ceased to function pending
a review of its organiZational problems and the selection

. ~.. ~'he Bl:!.ck Panther Party (BPP) has

previously announced that a conference
between various New Left and black
extremist organizations would be held in
{July at Merritt Junior College, Oakland,
California, from 7/18-21/69.

ISan Francisco
Attached relates to a sUggestion by
{the conference aimed toward disrupting
and denying BPP permission
to Use Merritt Junior College. A trusted
friend of a Speciai Agent of that office
ilas volunteered to raise the question of
whether BPP has received permiSSion to
: use the facUi ties of file college.
, We agree with the action proposed by
San Francisco. This affords an excellent
Opportunity to disrupt this conference
which could result in a coalition of
these groups. There is DO chance of

-
embarrassment and the Bureau w111 DOt be
divulged
..
as the Source in this matter.

Enclosed are nine (9) glossy photographs,
8" x 10" in size, taken by Chicago as a result d the
raid 6/4/69, by Chicago SA's on Chicago Black.Panther
Party (BPP) headquarters.
These photos are numbered one through nine on
the reverse side. Photographs one through eight were
talten at BPP office space, 2350 W. lladison Street,
Chicago, while photograph number nine was taken in the n
'/
/.~
Chicago Office. This photograph depiCts all the
weapons which were seized at the time of the raid.
,~

It is recognized by Chicago, that the bulk of •

these photographs are not those specified by the Bureau
as the type deSired, 1.e., sniping attacks on police,
scenes of racial violence, etc.; however, such photo-
graphs are somewhat dnficult to obtain. As the Bureau
has been ad~ed, Chicago has previously reviewed the
material available at the Graphic Arts Unit of the
Chicago Police Department, and periodically brings this
review up to date.
The material which is enclosed is the best
available at present to Chicago, of possible interest
along these lines. Th~ photographs are largely self-
explanatory, ho~ever, "t,might be noted the iron bar

Jteurlet 7-9-69.
The suggestion set forth in relet is being
utilized at this time by several offices. Portland
should review its files pertaining to the BPP to
determine whether the BPP in Portland has any plans
of ~perating "Breakfast Programs" or "Liberation
Schools." If such plans do exist, you should cODsider
utilizing the anonymous mailing of newspaper articles
previously furnished your office.

NOTE:
. Sometime ago we furnished various field offices with
copies of newspaper articles which criticized the BPP "Breakfast
for Children Program." Portland submitted a general suggestion
that the Bureau consider the anonymous mailing of copies of these
articles to various Negro ministers and churches in cities where
the BPP is active. We are advising them that this is being
done in specific cities and instructing them to review Portland
1.iles to determine if such mailings are favorable in that city.

COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRA1&
BLACK NATIONALIST - HATB DROUPS
RACIAL INTELLIGE8CE
BLACK PANTHER PARTl (DPP)

A review of tho situation surrounding captio~ed

organization discloses that tho DPP appears to be iD troUble,
both financially and politically. The apparent causes are
varied. Numorous arrests by both local police agencies and the
FBI have injured not only the physical ranks of the DPP but also
its image throughout the country. Its invincibility was
challenged and struck down as a result of the arrests.
Stokely Carmichael has resigned from the organization and has
obviously taken with him a segmont of Panther support. The
immorality of BPP leaders David Hliliard and Dobby Seale, and
the drinking of Sealo, have contr1buted to a decline in mora7:feI ~
within the nationl\l leadership. !,
"
The DPP from the very beginning has stressed th
t~me that the black man ,lone shall rule, DO white man was
bo trusted, and no white ~n would ever be allowed in the
organiE~~ion. At this time tho BPP is so desperate that it is
seeking alliances with white groups such as the Communiat Party
and the Students For a Democratic Society.
The above presents only a few of the weaknesses
in the Black Panther Party throughout the country. At th,~s time
en it is most imperative that we capitalize on these weaknesses~ ,~,
Tho disruption of this organization through counterintelligence '
-........ e
0# u:>

'"0~ ::i submitting your future counterintelligence proposals, considera-

SUBJECT: COUNTEHINTELLIGENCE PIlOGRAM

BLACK NATIONALIST - HATE GHOUPS
..\\ ' NEW LEl"T LlOVEllENT
,J Enclosed for the Bureau are three copies of storm'
Warnings, a "right-wing pamphlet" prepared by the st. Louis
biv is ion •
BACKGROUND
The enclosed pamphlet was pr,epared by the St. Louis
Division utilizing the terminology and illustrations of a
typical "right-wing" publication. This area has been the scene
of some de~ree of "right-wing" activity directed against local
_ New Left groups and peace organizations. The st. Louis PO are
currently investigating acts of vandalism committed by unknown '
,,' persons against the St. Louis Peace Inforluation Center. ~, f
~,: While no real organized "right-group" group in thel')· j . _
,'area has any apparent strong public support, the two communitiep
'::.~of-Hazelwood and Florissant in St. Louis County have traditiona'1ly
" been fertile grounus for the John Birch Society, etc... The
i1lustrat·ions in storm Warnings have been culled from a patriotiC
-:r- flyer called The American Revelation which is printed and
......... -
~
distributed in llazelwood.
-'v t:-'
-I "

The purpose of StorlB Warnings is to a lert the reader to

both the known and the relatively unknown agitators in tIE
St. Louis area. It is sprinkled with factual inaccuracies and
exaggerations in order to carry out the theme as a 'typical
"right-winger" migh write it, and also to eliminate any suspicion
that any official in,e~tiga~ing agency assisted in the preparation.
It is not felt that torm)Wl~ings contains any information which
an astute "right-win Llr.,·Uf,"Il~i hi not learn or guess on bis own.

RECOMMENDATION
st. Louis purposes to prepare 100 copies on commercial
. paper and mail them anonymously from Hazelwood, Mo. to various
"right-wing" organizations and individuals in the area.
The enclosed samples were prepared on Xerox machine
although the 100 copies will be prepared on multilith machine.
It is anticipated that the mailing will accomplish
the following desirable results:
1. It v:1ll alert the "right-wing" groups to the
relatively unknown agitators in the area.
nfluence of such
notables a the various
legitimate ship.
3. It will concentrate the public opposition against
the key Communists and Militants in the area and help them to
focus on "the enemy".
4. Should this pamphlet come to the attention of the
New Left .. (as it well may) it is felt that deciding how to deal with
it and discussing the effect of it will keep the New Left in
time-consuming efforts that will detract from the energy and time
usually spent in plotting, recruiting and fund-raising. .
Bureau authority is requested to initiate the above-
described counter-intelligence project.

Society (50S) for failure to support the BPP. The telegram will
continue the strife existing between the three groups.

The BPP is planning a conference called "The National

Revolutionary Conference for a United Front Against Fascism"
I
be held from 7/18-21/69. They are attempting to solicit vhi e
groups_to.partic;:ipate and, subsequently, cooperate WI. e
At a recent New Left convention, members of the SDS voted
SUPP£!t BPP programs, as well as the forthcoming BPP conference.
Considerable argument took place prior to this vote and SDS
expelled the PLP because members of that organization did not want
to support the BPP. At this time there is considerabl~haos
wi thin SDS and PIP. -:f ." hrjirrYf\
The June 28, 1969, issue of "The Black panth~;·a BPP
publication, contained a telegram from SDS pointing out ~hat the
PIP was expelled from the convention, and SDS would support the
BPP and its conference. It is believed that considerable disruption
would take place wi~~in the BPP and SDS if an_anonymous telegram
was sent from a fictious committee of the PLP. The telegram is
in answer to the SDS's commQ~ication and points out the improbability
of cooperation between PIP and BPP as well as BPP immorali ty. . The
telegram can be sent from a telephone pay station in Boston,· .. _.
