MEMO TO
Re. Fifth Estate
1. The recent murder of Richard S. Welch, CIA station chief at Athens,
Greece, has focussed attention on Fi.f&4 Estate, a radical group apparently
working to sabotage various US intelligence operations. Fifth Estate is
ed with fingering Welch for assassination,wittingly or unwittingly, by
char
g
listirg his name in the two latest issues of its quarterly publication, "Con-
ter-Sp, on Page 50 of its Summer-Fall issue and on Page 26 of its Winter is-
sue. (See copies of both issues attached and Fifth Estate explanation.)
2. Fifth Estate bluntly states its primary current objectives as (1)
"abolishment of the CIA" and (9) "support for CIA defectors", on Page 5 of
the Summer-Fall issue of "enter-Spy".
3. Other Fifth Estate objectives, as ascertained from the above two
and other issues of "Counter-Spy appear to be to hamper or destroy the ef-
fectivnesss of the FBI and other US Intelligence and security agencies.
4. From a brief evaluation of available material and other evidence fran
Fift Estate sources, inoludipg interviews with two of Its five principals
Winslow Peck and Eda Gordon), it is apparent that Fifth Estate, and its spin-
offs, not only are targeted to damage or destroy US security operations, but al-
so that they are probably under Marxist control or operation. In addition, it
appears that the wholeh Estato setup has close ties with other leftist or
radical groups, some of them, at least, Communist controlled or Infiltrated.

liKE YOU
The Intelligence Documentation Center (IDC), an independent re-
search group on the intelligence community, is accepting appli-
cations for five intern positions this Spring. The session will
be-in January 30 and terminate April 30. If you are-interested
in ~,aining research experience in a politically conscious environ-
ment, the IDC program may be what you're looking for.
To assist you in your decision, the following explanation of the
IDC 1976 intern project has been prepared by five student interns
who worked at IDC this past fall. We think students should re-
ceive school credit for the three-month project, but we expect
you to initiate a credit agreement with you school or professor(s).
Most students have found they can receive a full semester's credit
for working full time at IDC.
The program is designed to train young people in highly specialized
areas of research methodology. Sociology, history, political
science, and economics are all areas in which you can expect to
gain much knowledge from your work with IDC.

THE
INTELLIGENCE
DOCUMENTATION
CENTER
IDC is a non-profits tax-exempt library and research group which was
founded_ members of the Organizing Committee for a Fifth Estate. IDC
now functions as an independent organization.
IDC was established as a direct result of people's growing concerns
over government security agencies and their activities. Recent rev-
elations which have exposed illegal wiretapping, mail surveillance,
and dossier files on thousands of American individuals have led many
people to believe that such activities threaten the basic principles
on which our country was built. If these fundamental rights establish-
ed in the Bill of Rights are indeed crumbling, IDC believes the public
has the right to know. We think our primary responsibility is to in-
crease public awareness in this area, and we believe the intern pro-
gram is one way of accomplishing this goal.. We hope to build our IDC
resource center, to be utilized by all, with the knowledge and exper-
iences gained by students and staff during this program.
We recently received a grant from a New York foundation to conduct a
ear-long study o tee ects of re ression and surveillance on move-
ments for social change in the U.S. We have determined certain sec-
tors of society which we think require special attention and we approach
our research within a framework of class-analysis. We are trying to
determine what movements exist now or have existed in the past, what
the goals and tactics are or were, and how or whether government and
corporate efforts were made to suppress or coopt such movements. This
is the area in which interns will do most of their research. IDC
hopes that, after we evaluate the effects of such activities, a book
will be published combining much of the research.
The five IDC staff members offer a wealth of experience, not only in
research methods, but in government agencies as well.
i,1 Ds.ow Peck worked in the National Security Agency for four years and
has been actively researching the intelligence community for five years.
Doug Porter has done extensive research in the areas of intelligence and
right-wing terrorist organizations.
Eda Gordon was Senior Editor for four years of Trial magazine, published
by the Association of American Trial Lawyers. She was also an investi-
gator for the Wounded Knee Offense/Defense Committee in South Dakota in
1974-75.
Tim Butz brings his experience in Viet Nam Veterans Against the War and
the Winter Soldier Investigation to IDC. lie was a military intelligence
expert for the Wounded Knee Offense/Defense Committee. He has done ex-

tensive inquiries into the numerous Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT)
teams around the country.
Margaret Van Houten, who has a degree in Sociology from the, University
of Buffalo, has researched the intelligence community for the past year
in Washington. She is presently coordinating a public education project
on intelligence agencies which includes dozens of campus teach-in pro-
grams around the country, at which the IDC staff members often speak.
THE
INTERN
PROGRAM
Although IDC is a research center on the intelligence arena, one of the
most valuable experiences for the intern is participation in the collec-
tive. The IDC does not function as a hierarchy, which makes it necessary
for all members to guide and help each other, yet develop self-direction
and to maintain an honest and open attitude towards criticism and advice.
The idea of a collective is that it functions as a unit; we work together
to combine all our skills into one.
The following is a rough outline of the three-month spring schedule. It
is only an outline, because we want to invite input from the interns
themselves.
This is a two-week period in which everyone can adjust to one another and
read the basic works on the intelligence community. It's also a good time
to arrange living situations for those who need them. The first readings
on the list will be discussed. (See enclosed reading list.)
The staff will present seminars on the intelligence agencies and related
topics such as Red Squads, investigative techniques or current events.
Weekly visitor seminars will he presented by individuals studying differ-
ent areas in different research organizations. We have invited individuals
who research such areas as the Middle East, Africa, and the JFK assassina-
tion to come and explain their findings to us. If interns show interest
in any such areas, experts can be invited to speak.
Projects
While the interns are familarizing themselves with the subject, they will
be asked to choose a specific sector of society, on which to focus their
attention. In the time remaining, interns research their area using all
types of research methods.
An intern, for example, focusing on labor would talk to authors of books on
labor, trade union officials, labor supporters, and workers. Books on the

history of labor and labor unions would need review. Periodicals publish-
ed by both management and labor as well as government would require
examination. One might even venture out into the factories or docks and
talk to workers on the job. There are many different angles and sources
the intern must examine.
Guidance from the staff, as well as mutual assistance from the other in-
terns, builds the cooperative spirit we want to maintain. These projects
not only serve to enhance one's research techniques, but provide rare
opportunities to meet people of varying backgrounds and political per-
suasions. At the same time, the intern program serves to train students
in leadership skills. You'll find it is a course in assertiveness as
well.
TO
APPLY
FOR THE
INTERNSHIP
Send us a list of your job experience, travel, education (both formal
and informal), and any organizations in which you have worked. Out-
lining those experiences which have influenced you the most, write us
a letter tracing the evolution of your political thought. Be sure to
include an explanation of why you want to work at IDC, as well as your
present academic status.
SCHOLARSHIPS /"/ / r ? <
IDC offers scholarships for those who feel they need financial
assistance during the program. If you are interested in applying for
this $600 fellowship simply explain your financial status in your letter
to us. Paid internships are rare and therefore, we feel it necessary to
offer a scholarship to those students who otherwise couldn't consider
such programs in Washington DC.
With careful budgeting, we have found that one can live in this relative -
ly expensive city for aproximately $200-$275 a month. The first month, if
you need to find housing, is likely to cost more.
Though not impossible to find, housing usually means a tedious and difficult
search. IDC staff will find a place for you to stay temporarily when you
arrive and will assist you in finding permanent living quarters.
If you can be partially financed during the program, tell us what you feel
you need to supplement your income. If you can get no financial assistance
from your school or home, explain those circumstances too.
Send your letter of application to Doug Porter, C/o IDC, 2000 P St., Suite
403, Washington DC , 20036. For more information call: [phone].
On the bottom of the envelope write: RE: Internship Program. You will hear
from us soon.

Annual Repor
This past year has witnessed great and sudden changes in world politics. Aside from the recent changes in the
Federal government the most obvious effect of these changes has been spiraling inflation and now massive
unemployment. Most Americans, according to the latest polls, fear this depression will be as terrible as the great
one of the thirties. No one knows for sure what 1975 will bring for American pocketbooks. But the portents are
for even more dramatic changes than in 1974.
In this atmosphere of economic depression and constant political change, the Fifth Estate has managed to
achieve substantial results. There hasn't always been enough money-there still isn't-nor has public support for
our effort been vigorous. But with hard work and a little faith in our knowledge and approach, we have managed
to overcome the obstacles of 1974. In many ways the Fifth Estate has grown in numbers and influence; it has
monitored the most dangerous trends in the security community; it has provided the public with information on
these trends and has joined with them to oppose abuse of power in government. With your support, 1975 can be
as equally effective and gratifying.
GROWTH
Despite severe funding limitations, members of the Fifth Estate toured the nation this fall, ooveringover 25
cities coast-to-coast. The Fifth Estate multi-media presentation was followed by workshops in many c t s for
those interested in initiating local projects. The Fifth Estate also sought to establish liaison with organizations and
individuals in other localities whose work is related to the focus of the Fifth Estate. Among the many conferences
attended by the Fifth Estate were: the National Committee Against Repressive Legislation NCARL) conference
in the spring; the National Lawyer's Guild Conference (with whom we work closely); the International
Association of Chie s o o ice ; an the American Industrial Security_Association (AISA). The Fifth
Estate also participated in a conference on covert action sponsored by the Center for National Security Studies.
RESEARCH and EDUCATION
Throughout 1974, the Fifth Estate attempted to collect data in as many areas as was possible, concentrating
on those areas of vital concern. Most of this work was performed by two of the autonomous, independent and
non-profit groups within the Fifth Estate; the Intelligence Documentation Center, and Fifth Estate Security
Education. Both are located in the nation's capital. -~
R rch has concentrated on the following issues:
The Terrorist Information Proiect (Tie) was launched with the rise of the SLA. Working with reporters and
other investigators, our investigation revealed that SLA member Donald DeFreeze, aka Cinque, had, in the past,
been a police informant and agent provocatuer. This phenomenon raised the spectre of government agencies using
terrorism as a catch-all for repressive domestic operations. Additionally, we examined the activities of two less
well-known groups-the Natio~eus ofl.abor Committees (NCLC), which claims to be a left wing group; and
IDENTITY, a paramilitary right wing group using a church as a cover. Although lacking funds, TIP will continue
to receive the attention of the Fifth Estate, due to the increased focus of security groups on countering terrorism.
The Fifth Estate also undertook a painstaking analysis of the FBI COINTELPRO memos released through the
Freedom of Information Act, and we are working with several attempts to discover how widespread
COINTELPRO operations were and if they are still continuing. COINTELPRO was the FBI plan to disrupt and
neutralize various political groups. COINTELPRO authorized illegal actions.
We initiated a major research effort into the relatio os of international labor organizations with the CIA.
The Fifth Estate also uncovered an intelligence network operating in thg_United_St~tes run by_the Saigon
,government, gathering information on both Americans and Vietnamese citizens in this country opposed to this
obvious y corrupt dictatorship.
We explored the role of the Defense Intelligence Agency in the coup which overthrew Salvadore Allende in
Chile.
Memos obtained by the Fifth Estate revealed that local utilities were sponsoring intelligence gathering
operations aimed at foes of nuclear pow er plant co~nn.
e a so exposed a cot f1den is study prepared for LEAA on methods of stopping the flow of illegal aliens into
the United States, suggesting a variety of Orwellian methods and blaming aliens for virtually all of the social ills of

attention. -'- _"-----.-.'_ -.

In disseminating our research and providing educational materials for the public, the Fifth Estate worked with
Canadian Broadcasting or`poration, the British BroadcastingrCorQoration, an tFroaasting Corporation of
.a.wide range of the Fourth Estate (media). We were either interviewed on, helped produce, or otherwise aided
news stories on over 25 radio stations: 10 -local television stations, all the national networks (as -well as-the
we have successfully stimulated response by the public on many important issues.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1975
During 1975, the Fifth Estate hopes to initiate and work with already'existing groups, to continue to build a
nationwide network of citizen's research and educational groups on questions of security. Contacts and key
organizers for such groups already exist in over 30 cities
At the present time, there are two research and educational projects being conducted by Fifth Estate Security
Education. The Labor Education Project hopes to conduct extensive research into the ways in which labor
organizations have been targeted by various intelligence agencies. The project will concentrate on providing
information to rank-and-file workers on CIA-labor operations. For more information contact: Winslow Peck.
During 1975, we hope to begin a pilot training program to train para-legal workers in basic investigative
techniques. This program grows out of our experiences working with the Wounded Knee trials. For more
information contact: Margaret Van Houten.
TbLo roblem for the Fift Estate is, as we have said, financial. We have an adequate analysis of the ways
and means power is abused in the security community. a have an enormous potential human force. And we
have a successful program. But we just do not have enough money.
Some of our financing has been provided by a few foundations and concerned individuals, such as Norman
Mar, eVl have also raised fun s~tirough several events, and subscriptions f3Zounter- py are increasing. But
this is just not enough.
Therefore we wish to encourage all citizens concerned with the problems we raise to investigate us and our
program, and if you then believe that we are providing a vital service to you and your neighbors, please pledge a
regular donation for a specific area of Fifth Estate work, on either the national or local level.
With your participation in the Fifth Estate, 19.75 can prove to be even more successful than 1974.

In order to bring issues related to the intelligence-gathering
agencies into the public arena and to create a climate conducive
to legislative change during this year of Congressional invest-
igations, a nation-wide teach-in effort has been growing on
campuses throughout the country. Programs focusing on such inter-
related topics as multinational corporations and their relationship
to the American economy, political assassinations both foreign and
domestic, police repression including the growing utilization of
7.W.A.T. teams, the continued 5ubver iori o" activi.s,t organization,
and the invasion or individual privacy via surveillance and computer
technology have been presented on campuses in Los Angeles, Berkeley,
^an Francisco, Ann Arbor, Virginia, and '.Vashington, ').C, The ser_ie
will continue through the 197 academic year and build towards the
coming presidential elections. The overwhelming concern on the part of
college students with the systematic violations of civil and human
rights by the intelligence gathering agencies is reflected in a
recent article about the Ann Arbor Conferences
8,000 at U-Mteach-in
ANN ARBOR, Nov 10 (MFP) -
In the largest mass political event
here in recent memory, thousands
of students and working people
and more than 25 speakers took
part in a three-day teach-in here
last week, "The Bicentennial Di-
lemma: Who's in Control?"
Although the keynote speaker of
the teach-in - Pakistani emigre
and anti-imperialist intellectual
Eqbal Ahmad - appeared at the
end, not the beginning, of the
three-day gathering, the teach-in's
functional theme emerged clearly
as broad-based opposition to US
imperialism in America and in
the Third World.
In his closing statement Egbs.l Ahmad said:
Speakers on virtually every topic
were enthusiastically applauded
as they stressed that each instance
of CIA subversion or police vio-
lence is not an isolated issue, but
one aspect of the larger system of
US imperialism.
And each of the speakers was
again warmly received for their
emphasis on the importance of
following up the information and
analysis set in motion through
the teach-in with sustained, de-
termined political action.
The university is like a mini-corporate-government,
where there has been a huge amount of training in how
not to deal with relevant issues. But a good educat-

-The Public Education Project is sponsored by the Youth
Project, Inc. of Washington, D.C. and is a year-long effort
designed to create informed public discussion. The project
will assist in setting up campus and community forums
throughout the country and will act as a referral service
for educational materials and resource groups.
All speakers participating in this project will be donating
their time, energy, and fees to the Public Education Pro-
ject in order to ensure its survival.
Why is a Public Education Project Needed?
The CIA and other components of the intelligence com-
munity have come under Congressional scrutiny a number
of times, but never before have the abuses of power been
brought so clearly to light. As the pattern of violations of
civil and human liberties has begun to emerge, from the
Rockefeller Commission Report to the forthcoming findings
of the House and Senate Select Committees on Intelligence,
concerned observers have greed that it is a time for in-
formed public discussion about our intelligence agencies at
home and abroad. Only the pernicious or the foolish could
now suggest that the CIA and other intelligence agencies
can continue to operate on trust.
The U.S. Intelligence Community which includes:
Central Intelligence Agency
National Security Agency
Defense Intelligence Agency
Army Intelligence
Naval Intelligence
Air Force Intelligence
State Department (Bureau of Intelligence and
Research)
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Atomic Energy Commission (Intelligence Division)
Treasury Department
And 63 other agencies with intelligence gathering functions
must be studied and discussed in the public arena in order
to determine public opinion in the following critical areas:
? The legitimate governmental purposes that intelligence
both foreign and domestic should serve.
? The viability of a joint oversight committee of Congress
in view of past performances.
? The investigations of the House and Senate Select Com-
mittees on Intelligence to determine their thoroughness
and the possibilities of their leading to positive legislative
change.
? The massive abuses of civil and human rights and their
implications for people in free society.
? The cooperation that continues to exist between agen-
cies on federal, state, and local levels.
During this critical year of revelations a climate conducive
to legislative change can and must be created in Apppved
and community forums.

A BASIC UNDERSTANDING of U.S. intelligence operations can be gathered from a number of books available
it .libraries or in paperback format: Books such as CIA and the Cult of Intelligence by Victor Marchetti and John
Marks, The Invisible Government by David Wise, and The Secret Team by Fletcher Prouty are three important
books that will give the reader a sense of the depth, form, and history of U.S. intelligence operations. For a more
complete listing of books available, write the Fifth Estate, Box 647, Washington D.C. 20044.
FORMER. CIA OFFICER PHIL AGEE's book Inside the Company: CIA Diary is a firsthand account of CIA
operations in Latin America. The book is currently unavailable inside the U.S., but can be legally sent to you by
friends in Canada or Great Britian. CIA Director William Colby has threatened to bring criminal charges against
Agee because of the accuracy and content of this important and informative book.
ORGANIZED TEACH-INS AND SEMINARS sponsored by student-faculty groups, labor unions, and
community organizations have occurred throughout the country this spring with thousands of people partici-
cpating. Just as the teach-in effort was an integral part of building the civil rights and anti-war movements, they
clan also be valuable in marshalling public sentiment against repressive police and intelligence agencies operations.
Respurces for one to three day conferences are plentiful, and a partial listing of resource organizations is
included in this pamphlet.
LOCAL RESEARCH/ACTION TEAMS can conduct investigations and political work around a number of
crucial areas. Campus based teams, for example, could begin to identify the CIA recruiting officer/professor at
their school, or the ties between collegate institutes and the CIA. Community based teams could begin to
investigate the workings of local "red squads" and political intelligence units. The Fifth Estate stands ready to
help with the formation and training of such groups when help is requested. It is our hope that every intelligence
unit, no matter how "small" will experience a thorough "citizen's examination" of their operations.
..TQ.BUILD FOR ACTION
EXPOSE AND CONFRONT INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY RECRUITERS when they appear on your
campus: both the CIA and the National Security Agency have adopted a policy of "open recruitment", although
the CIA also maintains a network of "old boy" recruiters on major campuses. Just as confronting Dow Chemical
and other war profiteers was a successful tactic for raising the question of government-corporate-academic
cooperation during the '60s, confronting CIA and NSA recruiters can raise these same points of government-
corporate-academic cooperation during the '70s.
ORGANIZE COALITIONS TO WORK FOR POLICE 3UDGET CUTS. Recent exposes of illegal operations by
local police departments can provide a fulcrum for forcing the city council to cut funding to police departments
for spying activities. As has been shown in New York, Chicago, and Washington D.C., the targets of police
intelligence have been-a broad spectrum of liberal and radical organizations. Perhaps the abolition of police
political intelligence work is one area that these groups can unite upon.
A LEGISLATIVE FOCUS ON INTELLIGENCE: The Congress currently has four separate committees working
on intelligence investigations. Additionally, state and county legislatures are conducting similar investigations, or
can be pressured to do so. We suggest that you write or visit your local representatives and express your
viewpoints on abuses of power by the intelligence community. For a complete listing of Congressional investi-
gative committees and their members, write the Fifth Estate or the Center for National Security Studies.
WRITE FOR YOUR FILE: Under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, you can now contact the
FBI, CIA, or other Federal agencies and request copies of files they may have on you. Although certain items
May be legally deleted from your file prior to its release, you can get an idea of the depths of government spying
on your life. Different agencies require different pieces of information in order to search their files, and further
information on procedures can be obtained from the Fifth Estate, Center for National Security Studies, The
Freedom of Information Clearinghouse, or your local ACLU.
MOBILIZE FOR THE FALL: Plans are now underway for demonstrations against the CIA and transnational
Corporate intervention in the sovereign affairs of other nations. Suggested sights for the demonstrations are
Washington D.C., Chicago, and a west coast city: the most probable date for these actions will be Sept. 11th, the
second anniversary of the coup d'etat in Chile. For further information concerning these mobilizations, contact
the Fifth Estate. Approved For Release 2004/10/13 : CIA-RDP88-01315R000200470001-4

K. Barton Osborn
Having worked for years in illegal intelligence programs for
the Army and the CIA, K. Barton Osborn speaks from experience.
The former director of political agent operations for the infamous
Phoenix Program brings a wealth of expertise to the platform. A
witness before House and Senate Committees, founder of the
Intelligence Documentation Center, and analyst of the Intelligence
Community (articles in Harper's and Playboy), the thirty-one year
old Osborn believes the best way to bring government spying
under responsible control is to publicize it.
Anthony J. Russo
Anthony Russo earned a national reputation for helping
Daniel Ellsberg photocopy the Pentagon Papers... and for going
to jail for it. Work with the RAND Corporation's Viet Cong
Motivation and Morale Project gave him a first-hand view of
inte!!iget?ce activities. His opposition to the war after his return to
the U.S. in 1968 made him the object of intense government
surveillance and general harassment. An expert on American
intelligence methods, he has been personally wiretapped, beaten
up, and jailed.

REPRINT AND DISTRIBUTE THIS LEAFLET
Mr. Clarence Kelley, Director
Federal Bureau of Investigation
10th and Pennsylvania, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20535
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act as amended (5 U.S.C. Sec.552).
I write to request a copy of all files in the Federal Bureau of Investigation indexed
or maintained under my name and all documents returnable by a search for documents containing
my name. To assist you in your search. I have indicated my social security number and date
and place of birth below my signature.
As you know, the amended Act provides that is some parts of a file are exempt from release
that "reasonably segregable" portions shall be provided. I therefore request that, if you
determine that some portions of the requested information are exempt, you provide me immed-
iately with a copy of the remainder of the file. I, of course, reserve my right to appeal
any such decisions.
If you determine that some or all of the requested information is exempt from release,
I would appreciate your advising me as to which exemption(s) you belive covers the infor-
mation which you are not releasing.
I am prepared to pay costs specified in your regulations for locating the requested files
and reproducing them.
As you know, the amended Act permits you to reduce or waive the fees if that "is in the
public interest because furnishing the information can be considered as primarily benefiting
the public." I believe that this request plainly fits that category and ask you to waive
any fees.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please telephone me at the above number.
As provided for in the amended Act, I will expect to recieve a reply within ten working
days.
Sincerely yours,
Social Security No. Date of Birth

Index" which has named up to 15,000 people targeted for arrest in case of a national
emergency. Started in the 1950's and ruled unconstitutional, the list is still maintained
by the FBI. The FBI has also admitted to breaking into people's homes, establishing mail
covers, and launching disruption and harrasment campaigns against individuals and political
organizations under its infamous COINTELPRO operations.
CLARENCE KELLEY SAYS, "KEEP THOSE CARDS AND LETTERS COMING, FOLKS."
The FBI says its is recieving only 1400 requests a month from citizens asking for
thier personal files. Actions in court by many Americans who faced the full force of FBI
repression many help to force FBI compliance with these requests. But at this point in
the struggle, it is apparent that the FBI is only partially fullfilling its obligations
under the Freedom of Information Act. What is needed now is a mass movement of tens of
thousands of citizens requesting their files. FREE YOUR FILE! By writing for your file
you can actively demonstrate your opposition to FBI wrong doing. You can say NO to FBI
harrasment. You can say NO to FBI crimes. You can say no more FBI political files.
And from the coorespondence and files you recieve you will have tangible proof of your
struggle against repression. If tens of thousands of Americans write for their file,
the FBI will be forced to change its proceedures for handling the requests. We can make
it so costly and unmanageble for the FBI to maintain political files that the practice
may be curtailed. Write Clarence Kelley today!
Reprint ( both sides ) and distribute this leaflet by the thousands on your campus or in
your community. You can construct a Freedom of Information Booth on your grounds or your
neighborhood corner. The booth can just be a table with a frontpiece displaying copies
of files you have obtained, pictures of FBI agents, documents, etc. Copies of this leaflet
and other liturature can be handed to passerbys who can be encouraged to write for their
files. Just file in the form letter on the other side and mail it today to the FBI.

The FBI requires the name, address, date and place of birth, and social seucrity number
of a requestor. You may also include other data which you consider helpful. As of May 1,
1975, the FBI had recieved some 2,500 requests of which eighty percent were for personal
files. This is not enough. But about 450 of the requests have been processed, with a
backlog weeks overdue. The Bureau is routinely requesting extensions beyond the 10 day
limit. If this campaign grows, we can expect even longer backlogs and extensions. FBI
spokesmen state that they conduct a torough search of all Bureau files. They also claim
that all data compiled in field offices is automatically included in records kept at
national headquarters. It is advisable, however, to state that you would like a search
conducted in the field offices of any cities in which you may have lived. For this purpose,
you should include the names of the cities in which you resided and the dates of residence.
You should also request the FBI to conduct a search of its Electronic Surveillance Index
for information on you. The FBI will estimate the number of pages to be duplicated upon
location of the records. If the cost exceeds $25.00, the requestor is so advised. The FBI
will accept payment of one-fourth the total amount and release the records upon agreement
to pay the remainder as soon as possible. The FBI has refused to waive fees in the public
interest and is charging some of the highest rates of any agency of department. For more

Viet Nam-CIA helps consolidate Diem's power in
1955, launches sabotage and guerrilla raids against
the North and pacification programs in the South.
After the overt escalation of the war upon the Tonkin
Gulf incident (in which a CIA raid likely played a
role), the CIA starts its Counter-Terror program in
1965 in imitation of Viet Cong terror tactics, begins
its Phoenix Program in 1967 which kills tens of
thousands of innocent persons as well as Viet Cong,
and continues political manipulation and other
covert action after the cease-fire agreement.
Laos-CIA organizes and directs a Secret Army
(secret from the U.S. Congress and the American
people) from 1962 to 1973, employing 35,000 Laotian
and 17,000 Thai mercenaries and having control over
a large part of the U. S. military within the country
for bombing and other support.
Phillippines-CIA helps put down the communist
Huk insurgency in the early 1950s.
Cambodia-CIA plays a role in a coup which topples
Prince Sihanouk in 1970, which paves the way for the
U. S. military invasion of Cambodia in the same year
and which results in the civil war being waged to this
day.
Indonesia-CIA, through the supply of money,

ing relationship with local police forces in which the
CIA is offered "cover" and returns the favor by
teaching informal classes in illegal intelligence
techniques such as break-ins and wiretapping; CIA
participation in civil disorder planning and opera-

Cuba-CIA organized military invasion in 1961 at the
Bay of Pigs fails to overthrow the Castro government.
Throughout the 60's, the CIA sponsors regular armed
incursions by Cuban exiles directed out of Miami.
Guatemala-CIA directed invasion overthrows
Arbenz government in 1954, establishing a quasi-
military dictatorship. Heavy CIA manipulation of
domestic Guatemalan politics continuing until
present.
Equador-Extensive CIA covert political interven-
tion in the early 60's destabilizes two civil govern-
ments which refused to break relations with Cuba.
The resultant political chaos leads to military rule.
Peru-CIA trains a secret counter-guerrilla force in
the mid-60's which wipes out the local insurgency
movement.
Bolivia-CIA counter-insurgency advisors organize
and direct the tracking down of Che Guevara and his
guerrilla force in 1967.
Brazil-CIA funds unsuccessful candidates in op-
position to President Goulart who moves to expro-
priate ITT and maintain relations with Cuba. CIA
then orchestrates anti-government operations by
labor, military, and middleclass groups, including
courses in "labor affairs" in Washington D.C. The
resultant coup in 1964 establishes the repressive
military dictatorship still in power.
Chile-CIA secretly funds anti-Allende political
forces in 1958, 1964, and 1970 elections. Having failed
to block Allende's election to the presidency in
1970, CIA directs a destabilization of the economic-
political order which leads to the military coup in
1973. A half century of democracy is ended, and one
of the most brutal Latin American military dictator-
ships installed.
Uruguay-CIA manipulates Uraguayan politics
throughout 1960s and, according to the first-hand
testimony of ex-CIA operative Phillip Agee, pres-
sures the government to accept an AID police train-

The following highlight the repressive features of
S. 1:
WIRETAPPING. Reaffirms the 1968 law, including
the ambiguous Presidential authority to wiretap do-
mestic activities where a "danger to the structure" of
the government is involved. By virtue of incorporat-
ing the multiple changes in existing statutes, S. 1.
expands the areas where wiretapping is permitted as
part of the investigatory processes. Directs telephone
companies and landlords to cooperate "forthwith"
and "unobtrusively" with government wiretappers,
and provides for compensation for such cooperation.
(Chapt. 31, A; pp. 206-18)
DEATH PENALTY. Attempts to circumvent the 1972
(Furman v. Georgia) Supreme Court decision which
held that capital punishment was cruel and unusual
punishment because it had been "so wantonly and so
freakishly. imposed." (Mr. Justice Stewart, concur-
ring.) Would provide mandatory executions for cer-
tain crimes under certain conditions. (Italics mine.)
(Chapt. 24; pp. 194-98)
"LEADING" A RIOT. Redrafts 1968 law. Provides for
up to three years in jail and/or up to one-hundred-
thousand-dollar fine for "movement of a person
across a state line" in the course of execution or con-
summation of a "riot." A "riot" as defined could in-
volve as few as "ten" participants whose conduct
"creates a grave danger of imminently causing" dam-
age to property. Invokes comprehensive federal juris-
dictional involvement down to the level of barroom
affrays.
(Sec. 1831; p. 173)
F,NTRAPMENT. Permits conviction of defendants for
committing crimes which they were induced to com-
mit by improper pressures of police agents. Puts
burden on defendant to prove that he was "not pre-
disposed" and was subject to "unlawful entrapment,"
(Sec. 551; p. 59)
CONTEMPT. Penalty for refusal to cooperate with
congressional committees, e.g., Senate Internal Se-
curity Subcommittee, is increased from one year in
prison and a thousand-dollar fine to three years and/
or one hundred thousand dollars. (Sec. 1333; p. 93)
SECRECY. Reverses democratic decision-making un-
der the Constitution by substituting government
secrecy for the freedoms guaranteed by the First
Amendment. Provides for penalties ranging from up
to three years' imprisonment and/or up to one-
hundred-thousand-dollar fine to death penalty to
prohibit public access to "national defense informa-
tion." S. 1 would vastly expand the scope and sever-
ity of criminal sanctions to enforce the administra-
tive classification of documents. There are more than
fifteen thousand federal employees in forty-seven
executive departments authorized to classify docu-
ments, and an estimated billion pages of data already
classified. With the definitions provided under Sec.
1128 for "classified information" and "national de-
fense information" so vague as to defy precise de-
scription, S. I codifies what can best be described as
an official secrets act. Sec. 1121 provides for life im-
prisonment, or the death penalty, "in time of war or
during a national defense emergency" for collecting
or communicating "national defense information"
with the knowledge that it "may be used to the prej-
udice of the safety or interest of the United States,
or to the advantage of a foreign power." (p. 69)
(Would the exposure of government corruption ren-
der a government employee or a news reporter subject
to the law? )
Sec. 1122 provides from seven to fifteen years in
prison and up to one-hundred-thousand-dollar fine
for communicating "national defense information" to
a person "who he knows is not authorized to receive
it." (Daniel Ellsberg and Tony Russo?)
Sec. 1123, under the euphemism "Mishandling
National Defense Information," provides for up to
seven years in prison and/or up to one-hundred-thou-
sand-dollar fine for a person who receives "national
defense information" and "fails to deliver it promptly"
to a federal agent. (pp. 69-70) (The New York Times
or Unitarian-Universalist Beacon Press re Pentagon
Papers?)
Sec. 1124 would extend the suppression of infor-
mation to its ultimate length, providing three to seven
years' imprisonment and/or up to one-hundred-
thousand-dollar fine for passing "classified informa-
tion" to a person who is not authorized to receive it."
(p. 70)
SEDITION. Redrafts 1940 Smith Act, made inoper-
ative by 1957 Supreme Court decision (Yates v. U.S.).
Provides up to fifteen years' imprisonment and/or up
to one-hundred-thousand-dollar fine for allegedly in-
citing "other person to engage in imminent lawless
conduct that would facilitate" the destruction of the
federal or any state government; and, up to seven
years' imprisonment and/or up to one-hundred-thou-
sand-dollar fine for participation as an active mem-
ber in a group that the defendant "knows" has such
a purpose. (Sec. 1103; pg. 64) When combined with
the criminal conspiracy and solicitation sections, the

jeopardy to protected speech is further increased.
(Secs. 1002-1003; pp. 60-61)
MARIJUANA. Possession of the slightest amount for
personal use entails thirty days' imprisonment and/
or ten-thousand-dollar fine; second offense increases
to six months and/or ten-thousand-dollar fine.
ILLEGAL EVIDENCE. S. I incorporates provisions de-
signed to make "voluntary" confessions admissible
even if obtained by secret police interrogation in the
absence of counsel and warning prescribed in the
Miranda case, and provisions designed to assure ad-
missibility of eyewitness testimony regardless of prior
police irregularities in suggesting identification.
(Sees. 3713-14; pp. 273-74)
HANDGUNS. In line with President Ford's recent.
message on crime, S. 1 eschews the Brown commis-
sion's recommendation to establish effective national
control of handguns. Instead, the bill makes the use
of a dangerous weapon in committing a crime a sep-
arate offense entailing penalties in addition to those
provided for the underlying crime. Such a proposal
might make sense in connection with a system that
did not otherwise contemplate more severe treatment
of armed offenders.
It is absurd to add a mandatory five-year penalty
to a life sentence or to ten or twenty years, and to
suppose that this will have any noticeable effect on
the use of weapons by individuals who have already
demonstrated their defiance of much greater threat-
ened punishment. (Sec. 1823; pp. 171-72)
NURENBERG DEFENSE. Would inhibit prosecution of
wrongdoing by "public servants" if illegal conduct is
result of "mistaken" belief that it was "required or
authorized," or based on "written interpretation
issued by the head of a government agency" (e.g.
from a President?).
(Secs. 542, 544, & 552; p. 57-59)
OBSCENITY. Freezes into statutory law recent re-
strictive decisions of the Supreme Court in this area.
S. 1 would permit the invocation of federal law en-
forcement against the most trivial local transactions.
It precludes as a defense that the material in ques-
tion might be lawfully produced and distributed
under the relevant state laws.
(Sec. 1842; pp. 177-78)
INSANITY. S. 1 represents an important regression
from existing law. It admits insanity as a defense
'f the insanit cg used a la of " h state mind
n
I
required as an element of the offense charged. Mental
disease or defect does not otherwise constitute a de-
fense." To fail to accord such a defense is to ignore
the relevance to guilt of moral responsibility and
power to choose.
SENTENCING. Contrary to the Brown Commission's
recommendations, S. 1 provides for very high
maximum penalties, a parole component in addition
to the prison maximum, and fewer limitations on
the use of consecutive sentences. S. I also makes
parole and probation harder to obtain and requires
mandatory minimum sentences in certain instances,
thereby eliminating judicial discretion and exacer-
bating the problems resulting from high maximum
sentences.
(Part III, pp. 182-194, also Sec. 1811, p. 166 & Sec.
1823, p. 171.)
SABOTAGE. Provides the death penalty or life im-
prisonment in some cases, up to twenty to thirty
years in prison and/or up to one-hundred-thousand-
dollar fine in others, for activity that "damages,
tampers with . . ." almost any property or facility
"used in or particularly suited for national defense"
or service that is or might be used in the national
defense, with intent to "interfere with or obstruct the
ability of the U.S. or an associate nation to prepare
for or engage in war or defense activities." Clearly,
such language would make every public demonstra-
tion, no matter how peaceful and orderly, subject to
potential criminal sanctions.
(Sec. 1.1 11; p. 64 )
DEMONSTRATIONS. Virtually every kind of civil
rights, peace, and other protest action would be
threatened with severe penalties under a series of
vaguely drafted infringements on the right of assem-
bly, including restrictions on the right to demon-
strate adjacent to wherever authorities may declare
to be the "temporary residence" where the President
may be staying. (Sec. 209; p. 391. For other sections

Legislative History of the Bill
To understand the repressive features summarized
below of S. I (H.R. 3907) it is necessary to review
its legislative history. The present U.S. Criminal
Code is an archaic collection of laws, replete with
contradicting redundancies. It was last updated in
1909. The problem has been long recognized by legal
scholars, and in 1966 a National Commission on
Reform of Criminal Laws was appointed by President
Johnson pursuant to a statute that required it.to be
bipartisan. The Commission of twelve consisted of
three senators, three representatives, three federal
judges, and three members at large. Former Cali-
fornia Governor Pat Brown was named chairperson.
An advisory committee of fourteen with wide ex-
perience in criminal law was also named. It was
headed by former Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court Tom C. Clark.
The Brown commission, as it became known,
labored for five years and achieved a remarkable de-
gree of consensus. Significantly, the three Senate
members of that commission - McClellan, Hruska,
and Sam Ervin - frequently found themselves out-
voted.
The Brown commission completed its study draft
in 1970, and submitted its final report on January 7,
197 1, to President Nixon and the Congress. In the
ensuing two years, two critical developments oc-
curred. First, in their capacity as the leadership of the
Subcommittee on Criminal Laws and Procedures of
the Senate Judiciary Committee, the outvoted Senate
members of the bipartisan Brown commission had
their way, and on January 4, 1973, introduced their
dissenting views as S. 1 of the ninety-third Congress.
In the judgment of Louis B. Schwartz, Benjamin
Franklin Professor of Criminal Law at the University
of Pennsylvania and director of the Brown commis-
sion, their legislation represented "an outright rejec-
tion of the commission's basic approach to criminal
law."
Second, President Nixon, in disagreement with
both the Brown commission and the dissenting sena-
tors, called upon Attorney General John Mitchell
and later, his successor, Richard Kleindienst, to re-
write the bipartisan commission's Final Report, and
on March 14, 1973, he called upon Senators McClel-
lan and Hruska to introduce the Administration's
"Criminal Code Reform Act of 1973," as S. 1400.
According to Professor Schwartz's judgment at the
time, "The Nixon program contradicts in every re-
spect ... the recommendations of the National Com-
mission on Reform of Federal Criminal Laws....
The President has taken a position far to the right of
the Senate subcommittee's proposal ... widely re-
garded as `very tough' . . . a program of primitive
vengefulness."
Thereafter, Senators McClellan and Hruska held
hearings to consolidate S. 1 and S. 1400. Altogether,
some eight thousand pages of testimony, much of it
critical, were taken before the subcommittee termi-
nated its hearings in August, 1974. With the nation's
attention focused on the scandals of Watergate and
then the articles of impeachment, the press all but
ignored the developing issue. On October 21, 1974,
with assistance from the Department of Justice under
President Ford, the consolidation was announced as
complete. With minor amendments, it was this legis-
lation which was then introduced with such broad
and powerful sponsorship on January 15, 1975, as
S. I - the "Criminal Justice Reform Act of 1975."
"S. 1 expresses the view that the crime problem
can be solved by extending government's power over
individuals. This extension can take the form of wire-
tapping and other secret surveillance, of giving broad
discretion to officials in decisions about punishment,
of authorizing exceptionally severe sentences, or of
restricting access to critical information about gov-
ernment operations. The other school of thought,
represented by the Brown commission, is skeptical
about the gains in law enforcement that can be ex-
pected from such measures, and more concerned
about impairing the quality of civic life by needless
restraints on liberty."

 Mat Con stiIU LIV11QIaMt1'1e~. -LYII~IZ~t~I'~C Bill!
"In our judgment the enactment of S. 1, the pend-
ing bill to revise the Federal Criminal Code, would
constitute an unparalleled disaster for the system of
individual rights in the United States. Furthermore,
we believe that the bill is inherently unamendable
and should be recommitted for complete overhaul
and redrafting.
"Our conclusion that S. I cannot be satisfactorily
patched up by the amendment process is based pri-
marily upon two essential features of the present bill:
"(1) The bill contains too many chapters, sections,
subsections, clauses, words, and definitions that
would have to be changed. It is impossible to enum-
erate all the danger points in S. 1, but some idea of
their extent can be seen from a partial listing of these
areas that urgently need revision. They include pro-
visions dealing with the handling and publication of
"national defense information," advocacy of over-
throw of government by force (the Smith Act), ob-
structing government functions by fraud, statements
impairing military effectiveness, riots, disorderly con-
duct, contempt, and obligation to give testimony, en-
trapment, wiretapping and electronic surveillance,
the death penalty, conspiracy, [criminal] attempts,
the insanity defense, obscenity, responsibility of
public officials for violation of law, penalties for
criminal offenses, probation and parole, and com-
plicated problems of federal jurisdiction.
It would be naive to believe that these countless
provisions could be restructured and redrafted, one
by one, through the procedure of motion to amend,
amendments to the amendment, debate, and vote,
either in committee or on the Senate floor. Long be-
fore such a process could be completed the pressures
would be irresistible to make a few changes and let
the rest go through.
"(2) S. 1 was designed and drafted upon the basis
of philosophical, ethical, and political goals that
were repudiated by the American people in the
Watergate scandals. The bill is the product of the
Nixon Administration, prepared under the aegis of
Attorneys General Mitchell and Kleindienst, and put
into concrete form by a group of lawyers in Nixon's
Department of Justice. The objective of the drafts-
men was to incorporate into the criminal code every
restriction upon individual liberties, every method
and device, that the Nixon Administration thought
necessary or useful in pursuit of its fearful and cor-
rupt policies. As such, the bill is permeated with as-
sumptions, points of view, and objectives, finding
expression in numerous overt or subtle provisions,
that run counter to the open and free spirit upon
which American liberties are based. This pervasive
taint cannot be amended out.
"Inherently Unamendable"
"We do not oppose revision of the Federal Crim-
inal Code. It must be recognized, however, that the
task is an enormously complex one, involving deci-
sion on literally thousands of provisions of law that

with a bill that has been drafted by people who are
committed to preserving American rights. It can then
effectively proceed to debate and amend those par-
ticular parts of the legislation where policy changes
are thought desirable. But it must have a solid foun-
dation, firmly fixed in the tradition of American
democracy, to begin with. S. I does not supply such

Legislation now pending in Congress to revise the

Senate Bill 1, a massive and complicated measure

that it lies beyond the scope of any rational amend-

ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Type set copy in this brochure includes excerpts from "From HUAC to S. 1," paper by
Frank Wilkinson, THE CENTER MAGAZINE, Vol. VIII, Number 5, September/October, 1975, published by
Center for the Study of Democractic Institutions - The Fund for the Republic, Inc. - Santa Barbara, California.
Here's what you can do:
1 Urge your U.S. Senators to work to defeat S. 1 and send it back to
committee for total redrafting!
WARNING: Reacting to mounting national protests against this legislation, some
Senate sponsors of S. 1 are submitting amendments: while purportedly aimed at
answering the criticisms raised, they do not substantially alter the repressive thrust
of the legislation; others do attempt genuine corrections. However, constitutional
authorities state that these belated efforts at this stage in the legislative process
bear out their charge that S. 1 is inherently unamendable.
2 Urge your U.S. Representative to be alert against S. 1 and those who
under the guise of reforming the archaic U.S. Criminal Code, would
turn back the clock of justice!

THE ORGANIZING COMMI'I'I'EE FOR
A FIFTH ESTATE
HON. LARRY McDONALD
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, March. 19, 1975 -
Mr. McDONA.LD of Georgia. Mr.
Speaker, on March 13, 1975, my colleague
Mr. DEI.LUMS entered into the RECORD a
letter from an organization known some-
what obscurely a.s the Organization Com-
mittee for a Fifth Estate,-OC-5-which
I had on February 20 characterized, with
two other groups, as being among those
attacking the security services of the-
United States.
In their somewhat hysterical "Dear
Ron" letter, the OC-5 attempted to throw
out a smokescreen of denial based on
misquotations, evasions and lies. Because
of this, I believe that it is desirable to
add some specifics to my earlier state-
ment.
The OC-5 letter states Perry Fellw-ock
has been using the alias of Winslow Peck
'to protect himself from potential har-
assment from Government intelligence
agencies." This is in direct contradiction
to Peck's January 16, 1972 statement to-
the New York Times which quoted him
as saying:
I know the FBI knows who I am. I'd like
to avoid publicity but I'm willing to go
through trial, and, if I have to, I'll go to
jail. . But I no longer feel the oath that
I made when I was released from duty to
alias for such juvenile activities as past- Committee for a Fifth Estate Is a poten-

which read, "Wanted for crimes in con-
nection with the Phoenix murder plan
which resulted in the first-degree mur-
der and/or torture of 49,565 Vietnamese.
Consider him dangerous."
And I notice with interest that Fell-
wock/Peck does not deny that at about

.2:15 p.m. on Saturday, October
'1971, at the First Congregational
Church, 10th and G Streets NW., Wash-
ington, D.C., he was prevented from
speaking about his alleged NSA activi-
ties because he was exhibiting many
symptoms of drug abuse. In the words .
of his peer group, which at.that time
included Bill Kittridge, Karen Men-
coneri, John Boldt, Joel Beatty, Gordon
Finch and others, Fellwock/Peck was .
"stoned out of his mind." -
In the OC-5 letter,' Timothy Charles
Butz, ? a native of Munroe Falls, Ohio,
states he was not an organizer for Kent
State SDS. I agree, and stand by my
original statement that Butz was an
"SDS activist at Kent State," and an
organizer for Vietnam Veterans Against
the War/Winter Soldier Organization
In Washington, D.C..
Mr. Butz must know that the leader-
ship cadre at Kent State University in-
cluded Colin "Sunshine" Neiburger, later
a "gay Mayday" activist in Washington
in -1971; Joyce Cecora; Mark Lencl;
Terry Robbins, killed in the explosion of
an SDS Weatherman bomb factory in
New York in March, 1970; Howie Em-
mer; and Lisa Meisel, now the wife of
Robert "Bo" Burlingham, a former editor
of Ramparts magazine indicted in 1970
and 1972 on Weatherman bombing con-
spiracy charges and now with the Cam-
bridge Policy Studies Institute. Butz
must still recall that he was not invited
into the SDS leadership cadre.

of the news item. -
OC-5 also paid me a dubious compli-
ment by alleging I was in receipt of either
CIA or FBI files on their organization.
This is not true. The OC--5 cabal forget
that earlier in their letter they admit
that "the history of the Fifth Estate is
a matter of public knowledge." That is
true, and the founding members of OC-5
li ust know that all my statements relat-
ing to their actions and words are In ref-
erence to their public, albeit scandalous,
behavior. I have made no mention of

SPYING ON BIG BROTHEa-
(By Steve Long) . .
" \ve want a classified memo it day to
leak." The speaker was Doug Porter, a young
bearded former underground reporter who is
now with the Washington-based Fifth
Estate. - .
The Fifth Estate was described by Doug
Porter as a "non-prpft, non-partisan, non-
polluting organization dedicated to spying
on Big Brother, the American intelligence
community. Our only consumers of informa-
-
tion are the American public."
Doug Porter was recently in Berkeley to
present a slide show on US foreign and
domestic strategy, and this reporter tall:ed
with him about the origins of the Fifth
Estate. The parent organization out of which
the Fifth Fst.ate grew was known as the
Committee for Action/Research on the In-
telligence Community (CARIC). -
CARIC was the source for one of the first
Watergate stories by Bob Woodward and Carl
Bernstein of The Washington Post. CARIC
also provided opposition witnesses to the
confirmation hearings of CIA Director Wil-
liam Colby, thereby bringing out new in-
formation on the infamous Operation
Phoenix (a CIA program to destroy the NLF
infrastructure In South Vietnam). A flnat
accomplishment of CARIC was the sin Wishing
of the Washington, D.C. "red Squad" In
1973. CARIC convinced a D.C. police in-
former, Bob Merritt, to "turn over"--to quit
the police and talk about his 'experiences,
thus exposing the key agents In the D.C.
red squad.
At the same time that CARIC u' as operat-
ing early in 1973 author Norman Metier
established another organiz.^.tlon with the
same purpose. Mailer announced at his 50th
birthday party, attended by New York's elite,
that as his birthday present to the American
people he was going to do something about
the level of paranoia In the US--he was
going to create an organization, to be called
"the Fifth Estate," t4' watch the other four
estates (the three branches of the Federal
government plus the media). .
Mailer proceeded to speak on college carn-
puses for the next six months about his new
organization, at the end of which time be
had a mailing list and little else except a
paper organization.
CARIC and Mailer's Fifth Estate merged
as a result of a "Dear Noonan" letter by
Nat Hentoff in the Village Voice. Hentaif
wrote, that CARIC was doing effective work,
so why not merge the two organlzatlons?
Mailer agreed, and the merger was effected
in March, 1974. The name of Mailer's organi-
zation, the Fifth Estate, was retained after
the merger. - -
"The effect of the merger is that Norman
gives us money and uses his good name on
our behalf, and we do the work," Doug
Porter said. .
Doug said that there are currently three
major projects of the Fifth Rdtate. The first
project is "mass outreach," oriented toward

trying to get this Information to rank-and-

for a book to be published next, year on
the labor project. -
The third on-going project Is the building
of the Intelligence Documentation Center
(IDC). "It is a library--a data base--located
in Washington, D.C., so that researchers can
have it readily available for their use. It
always has more materials available on the
-Intelligence community than the Library of
Congress." The ID-C, consists not only of
hooks, but flies-"press clippings, debriefings
we have done, government reports, corporate
reports, and stolen documents," Doug said.
A book to be published next year will 'be
based on the IDC. The book is The Whole
Spy Catalog, doscribed by Doug as "a com-
pendium of everything we know about the
Intelligence community, and some helpful
hints on how people can fight back."

recently read an article which summa-
rizes events between the United States
and Cuba which point toward normaliza-
tion. The article Is entitled "Our Men in

and Chris Hughes. Peter Hughes is a

tion to normalization of relations with
Cuba. The article was written for the

During the Intervening years, however,
changing global power relations and particu-

Since 1971 a number of Senators, includ-

and Pell, and Congressmen Including Massa-

introduced legislation seeking a normaliza-
tion of relations between the United States
and Cuba
Speculation that a change in U.S.-Cuban
relations was imminent lncrcased further in
1974 when Gerald Ford became President.
The pundits suggested that President FL,rd
might want to initiate some major foreign
policy overture of his own; he needed to es-
cape from the shadows of Nixon's diplomatic
legacy, and Cuba was the logical choice. The
new chairman of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, John Sparkman (D.-Ala.),
has recently added his voice to those calling .
for such overtures. Moreover, other countries
in the hemisphere, for reasons of their onn,

It's high time to put an end to the Central Intelligence Agency's
meddling around the world. The secret armies, pacification programs,
coupF d'etats, assassinations, and manipulations of the CIA are
actually working against our national interests.
Tens of thousands of people have been killed, millions have been
denied the right of self-determination, and people throughout the
world--rightfully so-- think of us as "ugly Americans". History
will record the CIA as being the most henious gang of liars, thieves,
cutthroats, and fascists since Hitler's SS.
Ab,olution of the CIA's clandestine operations function is not
enough. The men and women of that agency will not stop plying
their trade simply because there is not official government
support of their operations. Through private and corporate enter-
prises, these individuals will continue their clandestine activities.
Others will find work as mercenaries for foreign dictatorships.
Currently, CIA officials are helping soldiers displaced by the
disbanding of Special Forces get jobs with the racist governments
of Rhodesia and South Africa.
The personnel of the CIA must be neutralized if the dirty tricks
are to be stopped. The records of the CIA need to be examined for
evidence of criminal activity. CIA personnel implicated must be
brought to justice, through a Special Prosecutor or other appropiate
legal mechanisms.
The end of the CIA is inevitable. If the people of the United
States do not act, then history will record that the CIA was
neutralized by other means. American citizens will find themselves
in a position similar to that of the German people after World
War Two.
History is watching.'The Whole World is watching. We must act.

than health programs not be allowed to
fade away.
The Seattle Indian Health Board
Clinic has had to rely on almost a dozen
different funding sources, some of
which--such as section 314(d) funds and
regional medical program funds-have
been eliminated by Congress or cut back
by the administration. The appropria-
tion moneys are simply a replacement of
those Federal funds by the Indian
Health Service.
With the lack of previous Indian in-
volvement in the health services, the
Seattle Indian Health Board is provid-
ing a ray of light in the confusion that
exists for Indians when they attempt to
confront the mind-boggling problems
that are evident in the delivery of health
care.
to urban Indians. This, of course, takes
others, but we must continue funding
this vitally needed item. Recently the
Seattle clinic expanded, and they have
hopes of offering more complete services
to urban Indians. This of course takes
money.
As one member of the Seattle Indian
Health Board said:
It's working and we just want it to work
more.
Such a successful program certainly
deserves more congressional support.
BIG BANKERS ARE GETTING REST-
LESS AGAIN AND WANT EXCUSES
TO EXORBITANT INTEREST RATES
RETURNED NOW
., HON. WRIGHT PATMAN
OF TEXAS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Friday, July 18, 1975
Mr. PATMAN. Mr. Speaker, the big
banks are apparently getting ready to
head out for another year of record-high
porfits while the. Nation struggles to re-
cover from the worst recession since the
Great Depression and 8.5 million people
are without jobs.
First National City Bank of New York,.
the Nation's second largest, announced
on July 11 that it was raising its prime
rate from 7 percent to 71/4 percent. Three
days later, First National Bank of Chi-
cago, Continental Illinois of Chicago,
Mellon Bank of Pittsburgh, Crocker Na-
tional Bank of San Francisco, and Union
Bank of Los Angeles quickly' jumped on
the old, familiar bandwagon by announc-
ing they too were raising their, interest
rates for their best customers, the big
corporate borrowers. All the other large
commercial banks across the country will
undoubtedly play "follow the leader"
again in what will be another round of
inflation pumping Interest rate. Increases
applied to small as well as big borrowers.
It is axiomatic that when the prime
rate climbs, other types of loan rates-
automobile, consumer, residential mort-
gage, small and medium size business-
either remain at intolerably high levels
or move In that direction. It Is a phe-
nomena. that coupled be called "The
bankers Rule of Maximizing Profits Re-
gardless of Cost to the Economy."
The cold reasoning by which many
leaders of the banking industry rational-
ize their actions was articulated a few
days ago by Richard L. Thomas, vice
chairman of. the board of the First Na-
tional Bank of Chicago. In reporting this
current round of prime rate increases,
the New York Times quoted him as
saying:
BIG BANKERS ARE GETTING RESTLESS AGAIN
AND WANT EXCUSES TO EXORBITANT INTEREST
RATES RETURNED NOW
"We are confident that this a forerunner"
of further interest rate increases. He told
the Times that his bank raised Its prime
rate because of recent increases in interest
rates paid by the bank for short term funds.
But he added that the prime rate was also
raised because of "pretty good loan demand."
In other words, First National of Chicago is
not going to betray Its principles by failing'
to capitalize on the struggle to Increase In-
vestments and develop some strength In what
has been and still is a sick economy.
Mr. Thomas frosted the bankers cake, as It
were, by going on to say that If the economy
strengthens over. the rest of the year, "we
think the trend [in interest rates] will be
'upward."
Mr. Speaker, the bankers are obviously
growing restless again. It's been more than
a year since the prime rate was at an his-
toric high of 12 percent and they have been
away from that level too tong.
On the same day that the Times was
reporting this new'round of prime rate in-
creases, ? the Wall Street Journal disclosed
that "more large banking concerns reported
sizeable earnings gains for the second quar-
ter."
These Included BankAmerica Corporation,
parent bank holding company of Bank of
America of San Francisco, the nation's larg-
est bank, which had second quarter income
Increase of 25.7 percent over the correspond-
ing period of 1974; Chase, Manhattan Cor-
poration, holding company for Chase Man-
hattan Bank of New York, with an increase
of 38.7 percent; Manufacturers Hanover Cor-
poration, parent bank holding company of
Manufacturers Hanover Bank, which had an
18.0 percent increase in net operating in-
come; the Charter New. York Corporation,
bank holding company for Irving Trust, with
an 18.7 percent Increase; Mellon National
Corporation, parent of Mellon Bank, with an
8.4 percent Increase; and First Chicago Cor-
poration, parent of First National Bank of
Chicago, up 10.6 percent.
The Journal reported that "as with other
banks that previously have reported first
half results, the latest gains chiefly reflect
an improvement in interest net Income."
Mr. Speaker, It looks as though the big
banks can look forward to even better profits
in the third quarter and fourth quarter of
the year at the expense of slower economic
recovery and high unemployment.

Mr. McDONALD of Georgia. Mr.
Speaker, among the most vociferous crit-
ics of the Central Intelligence Agency
and other branches of the American in-
telligence community is the Organizing
Committee for the Fifth Estate-OC-5---
which describes itself as "dedicated to
spying on Big Brother, the American In-
telligence community."
The OC-5's current campaign demands
the total abolition of the CIA; its corol-
lary aim Is to provide support for defec-
tors from that and other Federal and
local agencies,
OC-5's current staffers include Tim-

serves as a clearing house for the many

and that he frequenly was in touch with
officers from Cuban embassies in Europe.
Agee has stated, "Quite frankly, I don't

In his acknowledgements section In
."Inside the Company," Agee stated his
book could not have been written without
the encouragement of representatives of
the Communist Party of Cuba, the re-
sources of the Cuban Government, and
information provided by staffers of the
North American Congress on Latin Amer-
ica, an anti-U.S. research group with
close ties to the Cuban Government.
Frederick Robert Branfman, 33, was
active with the International Voluntary
Service In Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Upon his return to the United States in
1971, Branfman Immediately took a lead-
ership role in the ranks of the so-called
"antiwar" propagandists supporting the
North Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Lao-
tian Communist Insurgents. On May 4
In Washington, D.C., Branfman joined
with Arthur Kinoy, David Dellinger, and
other leaders of the revolutionary Na-
tional Interim Committee for a Mass
Party of the People for a'Lafayette Park
"celebration" to honor the bloodstained
Communist victory In Vietnam.
Sylvia E. Crane was one of the foun-
ders and is currently a national officer
of the National Committee Against Re-
pressive Legislation, formerly the Na-
tional Committee To Abolish the House
Un-American Activities Committee/
House Internal Security Committee. Un-
der Its original name, this organization
was cited, after extensive investigation,
as a Communist front. The organization
is still headed by Identified Communist
Frank Wilkinson.
David Dellinger, who described himself
In an SDS radical education project bro-
chure In 1969 as a "Communist, although
not of the Soviet variety," has however
clearly demonstrated his supp6rt of the
Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Cuban va-
rieties of Marxism-Leninism. His Insti-
tute for New Communications is the pub-
lisher of a new radical newsweekly, Seven
Days, currently In the "preview" edition
stages.
Frank J. Donner, in addition to his
present position as head of the ACLU's
political surveillance project at Yale Law.
School, has the dubious distinction of
having been thrice Identified as a mem-
ber of the Communist Party, U.S.A. He
was identified twice as a member of a
Communist Party cell In the National
Labor Relations Board In Washington,
? D.C., which employed him in its litigation
section from 1940 until 1945.
Called before the House Committee on
Un-American Activities In 1956 and con-
fronted with a Civil Service Commission
questionnaire on which he had answered
"no'." to membership in a Communist
organization, Donner invoked the fifth
amendment privilege against self-in-
crimination when asked if his statement
had been truthful.
In 1959, Donner was a member of the
law firm of Donner, Sacher, Perlin &
Freedman, as was Arthur Kinoy. Harry
Sacher has also been Identified as a mem-
ber of the Communist Party. During the
1960's, Donner was general counsel for
the United Electrical, Radio & Machine
Workers of America, a Communist con-
trolled union expelled from the CIO In
1950. He has been associated with such
Identified CPUSA fronts during the
1950's and 1960's as the National Law-
Yer's Guild, the American Committee for
the Protection of the Foreign Born, and
the National Emergency Civil Liberties
Committee.
Since the late 1950's, Frank Donner has
devoted much of his energy to counter-
security activities. His 1961 book, "The
Un-Americans," served to create major
publicity for the initial stages of the
Communist Party's Operation Abolition
attack on the House Committee on Un-
American Activities-HCUA-and later,
the House Internal Security Committee.
The HCUA report, "Communist Legal
Subversion: The Role of the Communist
Lawyer," in 1959 noted that "Speaking on
such topics as 'Informers as a Means of
Suppression,' and 'Informers as Tools,'
Donner has excoriated all Individuals
who have been of assistance to congres-
sional committees."
During more recent years, since head-
ing up the ACLU's antisurveillance oper-
ation. Donner has used such left-leaning
forums as the Nation, a magazine char-
acterized by HCUA as "Communist-line"
in 1961 and whose editor the California
Senate Fact-Finding Committee on Un-
American Activities noted, has partici-
pated "in the activities of the Communist
Party Itself"; ACLU's the Civil Liberties
Review; and the New York Review of
Books; to argue for the dismantling of
the American intelligence community.
It was Frank Donner who was sought
for comments-of it scatological nature-
on my CONGRESSIONAL RECORD reports on
current U.S. revolutionary activity by the
rock music and counter-culture maga-
zine, Rolling Stone. To avoid an impres-
sion of partisanship, Rolling Stone might
obtain comments from other than Com-

members; no matter what other" positions
they may hold.

As spring approached and the thaw devel-
oped around the once invlncable fortress of
national security, we were fighting for our
very existence. A series of financial pledges
withered away simultaneously with attacks
from the far-right, elements of the Intelli-
gence community and other government
agencies. Slanderous and distorted informa-
tion was placed in the congressional Record
by Georgia Congressman Larry McDonald, a
member in good standing of the John Birch
Society, and a leader of that outfit. McDonald
was challenged by us to make the same al-
legations in a forum where Congressional
Immunity from lawsuits did not apply, but
like other demagogues in the past, he prefers
to hide in the pages of the Congressional
Record. During the same week of McDonald's
ravings we were red-baited to a few of our
friends In the press by some of the 'old boys.'
Rumors reached us that the CIA considers
us 'Cuban agents', an unbelievably absurd
charge. And then our financial base was all
but destroyed during the same period.
Taking Into account OC-5's contacts
with foreign intelligence operations, such
as Philip Agee's membership on the OC-5

PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE SOCIAL
SECURITY QUARTERLY DEPOSIT
PROCEDURE FOR STATE AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
HON. JOEL PRITCHARD
OF WASHINGTON
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Friday, July 18, 1975
Mr. PRITCHARD. Mr. Speaker, as you
may be aware, the Social Security Ad-
ministration-SSA-has made clear it
'intends to require States and local gov-
ernments to make monthly, instead of
quarterly, deposits of social security con-
tributions for their covered employees,
The voluntary agreements between the
States and SSA under section 218-of
the Social Security Act-were made with
the mutual understanding that social
security contributions were to be paid
quarterly, as they have been without
question since public employees were first
covered in 1951.
Under the terms of each joint Federal-
State agreement, each State is respon-
sible for administering its own social
security program and must bear the cost
of Its administration. The proposed
change promises to greatly increase each
State's administrative costs while elimi
nating any opportunity the States have
to offset the costs of administration with
interest earnings from the funds. In the
aggregate, the States will lose about $120
million in interest annually-at a time
when they will be required to incur even
greater administrative expenses.
Each State now files form OAR-Si
with SSA each quarter to report social
security tax information. In addition,
each State must also file a form OAR-
S3 somewhat equivalent to form 941-A
of MS-each, quarter containing wage
Information on each employee. When you
realize that there are about 62,000
State and local government reporting
entities with almost 9 million employees,
you can readily appreciate the concern
of State and local administrators that
money and paperwork have to be handled
three times more often. .
Because of the proposed change, sev-
eral States have considered terminating
their Federal-State compact-denying
social security coverage to their public
employees. The States justifiably view
the joint agreement as a two-way
street-and they have made it clear that
they will resist attempts to have added ,
expenses unilaterally thrust upon them
by moving for termination. The proposed
shift, which was never agreed to by the
States, surely violates the spirit of the
section 218 agreements if not the actual
language.
Prior to their entrance into the State-
Federal agreement, many States had to
obtain enabling legislation from their
legislatures. Because this legislation con-
tained the guidelines under which the
State agency would operate, including in
some cases the quarterly deposit pro-
cedure, the Implementation of SSA's pro-
posed regulation would require action
by the State legislature in some States.
In order to add .on new employees to
handle the monthly deposit procedure,
Sonic State administrators will have to
go to their legislatures to obtain excep-
tions to budget ceiling laws or to statu-
tory ceilings on the hiring of new per-
sonnel. Compounding this problem is the
fact that many State legislatures oper-
ate on a biennium-- and meet once every
2 years.
If deposits are made monthly and re-
ports filed quarterly-or annually as
proposed by the SSA-further problems
arise. Many State and local. financial
procedures-in order to comply with
State statute and constitutional pro-
visions-will not allow money to be paid
out of the State treasury which is based
upon estimates.
Making a switch to a quarterly deposit
procedure even more complex is the fact
that all but two States have institution-
alized the quarterly deposit procedure
for their State retirement syystems..
Under the current system, the coinci-
dence of deposit dates substantially re-
duces the cost of administration of the
State retirement systems. A monthly de-
posit procedure for social security con-
tributions promises to Impose addition-
al costs on the administration of State
retirement systems.
The Federal proponents of stepping-up
the periodic deposit procedure do not
believe that they are Imposing any addi-
tional burden on State and local govern-
ments, because, in the words of the
Treasury Secretary:
Most local units of government have
highly sophisticated accounting procedures
. and equipment.
In fact, the majority of local govern-
ments-towns, cities, and counties-in
most States do not have centralized pay-
roll systems, do not have modern ac-
counting equipment, do not have full-
time paid officials, and ill many cases do
not even have actual office quarters. One
State social security administrator in-
formed me that many-times he receives
quarterly written-out on notebook pa-
per and even on a brown paper sack in
a few instances,
The SSA argues that the - current
deposit system is no longer justi
fled in that large sums- of money are lost
to the Social Security Trust Fund
and this loss must be made up by
all , taxpayers, Economists have told
me that because taxpayers pay both
State and local taxes, the net effect is
zero. The issue is clearly whether the
Federal Government will reap windfall
interest Income-about $120 million-at
the expense of the States.
No further action by SSA will be taken
until both they and the Subcommittee
on Social Security have had an oppor-
tunity to review the results of an SSA
questionnaire and a State-by-State anal-
ysis of statistics being assembled by
the National Conference of State Social
Security Administrators.
However, the SSA-at the behest of
the Office .of Management and Budget,
the HEW Secretary and the Treasury
Secretary-have made clear that they

the federal government and intended to
benefit bona fide family farmers.
Westlands, the country's largest water
district, will receive a total of $638 million
in federal subsidies according to a present
value computation of. the 40-year, 83 billion
subsidy. That calculation was contained in
en earlier GAO report to Senators Nelson
and Haskell.
Private landowners who receive federal
water and own more than 160 acres must
contract with the federal government to
dispose of all land in excess of 160 acres
within 10 years. The 1926 Omnibus Adjust-
ment Act provides that such excess lands
"shall be appraised in a manner to he pre-
scribed by the Secretary of the Interior and
the sale prices thereof fixed by the Sec-
retary on the basis of its actual bona fide
value at the date of appraisal without ref-
erence to the proposed construction of the
irrigation works." GAO found that "the
Bureau does not adequately support its basis,
or give consideration to all appropriate fac-
tors, in establishing land values without
project benefits."
Critics of the Bureau contends that it
has allowed excess land holders to inflate
approved sale prices by including as a con-
dition of sale farm facilities and equipment,
leasehold rights, corporate stock, and in one
((eeztseme case, an airplane landing strip'.
k= GAO report said that the Bureau should
evaluate the value of these extras on the
basis of their usefulness to the purchaser,
particularly one who chooses to operate a
small farm.
Haskell and Nelson stated, "The GAO
findings on the Bureau's price approval prac-
tices substantiate our concern that family
farmers Interested in actively operating
their own farms are being precluded from
obtaining low cost excess land. Congress
never intended the benefits or federal ir-
rigation projects to go to groups of paper
farmers who purchase large blocks of excess
land and lease it to large operators."
Nelson and Haskell noted that they are
currently drafting legislation which would

by GAO to assure that the benefits of fed-
eral irrigation go to family farmers.

partment of the Interior)
Reclamation law limits to 160 acres the
land on which any one owner is entitled to
receive water from a Federal water resources
project. Owners of more than 160 acres in
the Westiands Water District may receive
water on such excess land from the Bureau
of Reclamation's Central Valley Project If
they sign recordable contracts agreeing to
sell such excess lands within 10 years to
eligible buyers at prices based on the actual
bona fide value of such lands without refer-
ence to the construction of - the Federal
project.
GAO reviewed Bureau appraisal techniques
for assessing the value of excess land without
project enhancement and believes such tech-
niques need improvement. The Bureau does
not,
Adequately support Its basis, or give con-
sideration to all appropriate factors, in estab-
lishing land values without project benefits,
Consider the usefulness to the purchaser
of farm facilities and equipment in esti-
mating their value.

Adequately document the basis for its in-
dependent evaluations.
In addition, GAO believes that to Improve
management control there Is a need for writ-
ten Bureau guidelines, and for periodic in-
ternal reviews, applicable to the Bureau's
excess land appraisal activity.
To improve the management of the ap-
praisal activity and to insure that appropri-
ate factors are considered In establishing the
sale price of excess lands without project en-
hancement, the Secretary of the Interior
should require the Bureau to:
Undertake a formal study in the Westlands
Water District designed to ascertain' the
value of excess lands, by class and location,
without project enhancement, giving con-
sideration to the decreasink ground water
supply that would have resulted if the Fed-
eral project had not been constructed.
Obtain from the seller supporting data for
values assigned by the seller and to docu-
ment in the sales file the basis for the valu-
ations assigned by the Bureau's appraiser.
Issue detailed Bureau guidelines setting
forth the criteria and procedures for evalu-
ating excess land sales.
GAO recommends also.that the Secretary
have his internal audit staff schedule re-
views of the appraisal activity In the various
I3ureau regional offices.
GAO also evaluated the practicality of
three proposed solutions to the following
problems. -
Bureau-approved sales of large minimum
acreages of excess lands which are sold in
units to groups of purchasers with require-
ments to buy all facilities and equipment
reportedly hamper small family farmers in
their attempts to buy excess lands.
Various arrangements such as trusts, part-
nerships, corporations, and leases reportedly
allow one farm operator to receive low-cost
Federal water for large tracts of land he does
not own and hamper small family farmers
from owning and operating land in the West-
lands Water District.
The three proposed solutions to these
problems were reinstituting a residency re-
quirement, establishing a commission to in-
sure that family farmers are given priority
In the purchasing of excess land, and estab-
lishing a system for purchase of the excess
land by the Government for resale to family
farmers.
GAO believes that all of the proposed solu-
tions could contribute to a reduction in the
magnitude of the problems. The solution,
however, that probably has the potential for
being most effective is establishment of a
system for purchasing the excess land by the
Government. for resale to family farmers.
This solution would be more effective if the
180-acre limitation provision were made ap-
plicable to an owner-operator of land receiv-
ing water from a Federal project rather than,
as present, being applicable only to the owner
of the land.--
Because of the time that would be re-
quired, the lack of basic data, and the sub-
jective considerations Involved, GAO did not
attempt to ascertain the Federal costs that
might be required to Implement the three
proposed solutions to certain perceived prob-
lems in administering the 160-acre limitation
provision. -
GAO discussed Its findings and conclusions
with Bureau of Reclamation officials, but as
requested. GAO did not obtain written com-
ments from the Bureau or for the Department
of the Interior.
TRIBUTE TO INTERNAL SECURITY
SUBCOMMITTEE
Mr. STONE. Mr. President, for many
years, the present ,Cuban regime has been
In the habit of aiding terrorism and vio-
lence throughout the world. The United
States has always opposed such activities,
and Secretary Kissinger's warnings to
the Cuban regime would seen to make
the administration's position clear on
this subject. However, more disturbing
than Castro's subversive interference in
the domestic affairs of foreign countries
is his fomenting of underground terror-
ism in our own country. Leading the ef-
forts to expose and document such ac-
tivities is the Internal Security Subcom-
mittee of the U.S."-Senate. As the sub-
committee has demonstrated, the Castro
regime uses Puerto Rico as an infiltration
base into our country. Agents trained by
Cuba operate in major U.S. cities such
as Chicago and New York, where Cuban-
trained terrorists cause the January 24,
1975 bombing explosion of. Fraunces
Tavern, killing five persons and injuring
56 others. Facts such as these would not
be known by many people were it not
for the diligent efforts of subcommittee
investigators like Al Tarabochia and
Dave Martin.
Exemplifying the opinion. held of the
subcommittee by Jaw enforcers through-
out the country, is a recent resolution
adopted by the International Association
of Bomb Technicians and Investigations,
expressing "the appreciation of our or-
ganization to the Senate Subcommittee
on Internal Security for the valuable in-
formation on terrorism which it has com-
piled and published and for Its efforts to
promote better public understanding of
the importance of adequate-. law en
forcenient intelligence in, combating
terrorism."
I ask unanimous consent to have
printed in the RECORD a letter which
Capt. Tom Brodie, advisory commit-
tee member of the IABTI and a leading
Dade Coulnty, Fla., law enforcement of-
ficer, wrote to me, enclosing a copy of the
resolution along with an accompanying
letter to Chairman EASTLAN D. Captain
Brodie expresses his concern and that of
fellow law enforcers over reports of ef-
forts to eliminate the Subcommittee on
Internal Security. IABTI officers and
members believe that the information
published by the subcommittee has been
extremely useful to law enforcers In their
work against terrorism. As is pointed out
in their letter to the chairman, it is es-
pecially important that the subcommit-
tee continue Its investigations , du ing
these troubled times, when terrorism is
on the rise at home and abroad.
There being no objection, the material
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
MIAMI, FLA.
DEAR SENATOR .STONE: As you know, I have
for a number of years now, served as bomb
expert to the Dade County Public Safety De-
partment. I am still grateful to you for the
very generous introduction you gave me
when I testified before the Senate Subcom-
mittee on Internal Security last September,
together with three other bomb experts from
different parts of the country.
I also serve as a member of the Advisory
Committee of the International Association
of Bomb Technicians and Investigators and
that is why I am writing this letter. The
purpose of this letter is to convey to you
the text of a resolution unanimously adopted
by the IABTI at its recent convention in

It began, in February of 1973, at the 50th birthday
party of Norman Mailer. There were 500 people at
the Four Seasons in New York and they paid $30
each and some very stiff drinking was in evidence.
Mailer stood up and told the crowd where its money
was going. The money would create a ,tax - free
foundation called "The Fifth Estate,'.' he said.
The Fifth Estate would be "a democratic secret
police, a people's FBI and a people's CIA to inves-
tigate those two,". he said. "If we have a real
democratic secret police to keep tab on Washing-
ton's secret "police, .,which isn't democratic, but
bureaucratic, we'll then be able to see how much of
our paranoia is justified," he said.
Wednesday night, Tim Butz of The Fifth Estate
sat in a lecture room at Western Michigan Univer-
sity and talked about how the work is going. "The
.CIA now .is on the run," he said. But the job is not
,.dotie, he said. "We have one hell of a job on our
hands," he said.
This has all.become a matter of newspaper head-
h nes.'Butz is co - editor of The Fifth Estate's
quarterly newsletter, Counter = Spy.. When CIA
station chief Richard Welch was gunned down last
month in .Greece, the newsletter was blamed for
blowing his cover.
Butz is 28, a veteran of 19 months in Vietnam who
came home in 1966 to Kent State University in Ohio
and the antiwar movement. He is a stocky guy with a
light brown beard. On Wednesday night, he wore a
blue leisure suit. A red: tie was pulled loose at the
collar:, His right hand waved a pencil in small arcs as
he spoke.
He said the CIA has a 30 - year record of "murder,
carnage, infiltration, subversion and 10,000 other
forms of horror throughout the world." The record is
continuing in the war in Angola, he said.

The Committee for a Democratic Foreign Policy
and the Southern African Liberation Committee.
Chris Root, a Washington, D.C, 'lobbyist, and Bar-
bara Marsh, of the Michigan Free Press, a counter-
culture newspaper in_Ann Arbor, also spoke.'
Miss Root recited the history of Angola. "The
history of oppression, and its result in Angola, is
indeed a very. long one, she said. "Colonialism
means different things in different countries, and in
Angola, it was an especially harsh one.
The war in the African country is between those
that would have "neo - colonialism" and those that
want "true independence," she said. She said the
MPLA (the Popular. Movement for the Liberation of
Angola) is fighting. for the "self-determination of
Angola."
The MPLA has Soviet backing. The U.S. monies
have been going to 'the other side, she said. For the
CIA, Butz said, "Angola is just going to be one more
along a long,, long list." For the CIA, Butz said, it is
another attempt to make the world safe for the
"multinational corporations."
. The talk went for. more than two hours and then
there were audience questions and Butz said there
was a big job of pu''lic education to do.
He spoke to a le ture room of students who grew
up with a war on`n ghtly television. We must work,
Butz said, to' clear 'way "the bleakness that we see
in our lives in the 1970s.".

SUBJECT An Interview With Peck, Marchetti, Marks and Stern
RENE CARPENTER: Let me introduce my guests to you:
Winslow Peck, the editor of Counter-Spy. Victor Marchetti,
former high-level CIA official and coauthor of "The CIA and
the Cult of Intelligence," along with John Marks. And Larry
Stern, national affairs writer covering the Church Committee.
Winslow, maybe we could start out with Counter-Spy maga-
zine. What is it? What's it link to the Fifth Estate? What
is the Fifth Estate?
WINSLOW PECK Counter-Spy is the organ of the organi-
zing committee for the Fifth Estate. The Fifth Estate is a
community of citizens that are concerned about abuse of power in
our national security bureaucracy.
CARPENTER: Who are they?
PECK: Well, the center of the community is a network
of researchers who are on cdtlege campuses across the country
that are looking into abuse of power on the national as well as
the local level. And we are opposed to abuse of power in several
areas: first, the massive corruption and criminality that we
see, not only in the security bureaucracies, but in many levels
of our government.
CARPENTER: Why do you publish the names of CIA agents?
PECK: We publish the names of CIA agents to reinforce
the political fact of what the CIA is and what they do in our
name, that they are a secret police force that has never acted
in the interests of the American people. Publishing the names
demystifies the power of the CIA.

SST .GET REALLY upset," says Tim
Butz, his jaw taut and his voice
firm, "that the American people
don't understand that the CIA has seen
fit to unilaterally-exercise some of the
most serious violations of their rights..
Well, it the agency wants to break the
law, they will simply-have the whistle
blown on them."
- He pauses just a second, relaxes just
a bit.."That may sound like boisterous
talk, given -the resources of the Fifth
Estate, but we know what effect we've
had and. we know what effect we will
have."
That might indeed sound like boister-
ous talk; then again, it might not. After
all, Tim Butz is a top organizer at the,
Fifth Estate, the dissident organization
that publishes a once-obscure quarterly
magazine called Counter-Spy. And some
people believe that Counter-Spy is at
least partly responsible for the death
of Richard S. Welch, the Central Intel-
ligence Agency's Athens station chief,
who was gunned down outside his home
jr.>t before Christmas.
,Antiwar Remnant',
The Welch -assassination came less
than a year after Counter-Spy identified
Welch, who normally worked under a
State Department cover, as CIA station
Chief - in Lima, Peru.. Subsequently
transferred to Greece, he. was fingered
by an English-language newspaper in
Athens about a month before his death.,
The Incident immediately' yanked
the Fifth Estate, Counter-Spy, and Butz
from the closet of obscurity in which
they had been operating quietly the past
three years. And it quickly became
clear that they represent one of the
most significant remnants from those
fervid antiwar years of the 1960s and
early '70s.
"The Fifth Estate has been passing
Itself off as a beleaguered amateur
group," says David Atlee Phillips, for-
mer CIA agent and one of the country's
leading defenders of the agency, "but
the degree and depth of their efforts to
Identify CIA people have shown them
to be almost professional, in my view."

Attack From the Post
But the Fifth Estate's critics aren't
confined to traditional CIA defenders.
Some of the' severest criticism was
found last week on the editorial page
of the Washington Post, that tribunal
of tough-minded liberalism. Declaring
that disclosure of Welch's name was
"tantamount to an open invitation to
kill him," the Post added: "Here are
some American foes of the CIA adopt-
ing the morality and even abetting
the technique-indirect assassination-
which they have so often described as
ing bartending, the GI Bill (Butz him-
self is an-undergraduate student),-and
:'outside .consu:ting." Some Fifth -Es-
I tale officials also draw salaries from
the $50,000 Stern grant.

David Phillips,
the CIA defender,
The Counter-Spy controversy left
many wondering just what this Fifth
Estate organization Is, who runs it,
what It does, and who finances it. The
group's most important patron, it turns
cut, is Norman Mailer, the author and.
gadabout of leftist causes, who began
supporting Butz's efforts In early 1973.
At that time, Butz and a friend
named Winslow Peck were trying to
initiate an organization to heighten
awareness of U.S. security agencies.
Butz, "an idealistic Kennedy liberal"
when he first shipped out to Vietnam
as an Air Force enlisted man in 1966,
had been an antiwar activist since,
1969. Peck's background, which was
similar included a stint in the Air

MARTIN AGRONSKY: Yesterday, about a mile from this public
broadcasting studio, the body of Richard S. Welch was buried with
full military honors in the Arlington National Cemetery. President
Ford, his Secretary of State, Mr. Kissinger, and the CIA Director,
Mr. Colby, all honored Welch's memory by personally attending his
funeral.
Welch was the CIA's top man in Greece. He was gunned
down by three masked assassins outside his home in Athens during
Christmas week. Mr. Welch's name and CIA connection were dis-
closed, among other places, in a magazine called Counter-Spy pub-
lished by an American group called the Fifth Estate. This is the
magazine, Counter-Spy.

four days before his death, in which he invited me and my wife to.

as pleasant but somewhat notorious. I didn't know what he meant
then; now I know.

4 January 1976
Vthe an
brigade turns on the heat'
POLICE surrounded a seven-
storey office block in central
Washington on Friday after an
anonymous telephone caller
threatened to speed past in his
car ;and spray the fourth floor
with bullets.'
His ambitious aim was to
liquidate seven people working
in Suite 403 for the Fifth
Estate, an Organisation active
in America's growing "alterna-
tive intelligence movement.
The Fifth Estate is currently
accused -by the CIA of aiding
and abetting the assassination
of Richard Welch, the chief
undercover agent in Athens, by
publishing his name in their
quarterly magazine Counterspy.
The caller did not appear, as
was expected, and the Fifth
Estate and the police logged the
incident with a growing number
of death threats made to it-
and several liberal senators-
since the CIA's accusations. But
the event illustrates the extreme
reaction now building up against
the anti-intelligence groups,
including Congressional commit-
tees, that have =been nibbling
away at the CIA::
Retired intelligence officers

association, to,prom.0te and pro-

Peter Pringle reports
from Washington
tect their still active colleagues.
In Welch the association has its
first martyr. President Ford will
attend the burial in Arlington
Cemetery on Tuesday.
The people prising open the
CIA's dirty tricks bag have
made the .running so far against
others who would keep-it shut.
The old - boys association has
made little impact since its
formation in July. But in the
wake of Welch's death and CIA
Director William Colby's plea
to Congress to help turn the
heat off his men, the work of
tiny groups like the Fifth
Estate and its hitherto little-
known publications (Counterspy
has a circulation of only 3,000).
are under inspection, too.
But who is the Fifth Estate
and what did it do with Welch's
name? It is a group of people
of Left-wing views, some of whom
used to work in intelligence and
are now regarded by their for-
mer colleagues as, at best rene-
gades, and at worst Russian
spies. One of the group's men-
tors, for example, Philip Agee,
an ex-agent in Latin America
Philip Agee William Colby
agents from their foreign service
records were named, of whom 59
were in London. Richard Welch
was listed at attache in the US Embassy in Lima. It was the first
and last time Counterspy men-
tioned his name. The editors of
the magazine did not know he
had moved before the news
broke that he had been gunned
down in Athens.
In the winter issue of the
magazine Philip Agee explains
the policy behind naming the l
agents. "The. most effective and
important systematic efforts to
combat CIA that can be under.
taken right now are. I think, the
identification, - exposure and
neutralisation of its people
working abroad." Mx Agee was;
working on past experience. In!
October 1974 he revealed the
names and addresses in Mexico
City oT 35 official (embassy) CIA,
agents and two non-embassy
ones. Within a few days two of
those named, the station chief
and his deputy, were withdrawn.
An-editorial in the magazine
expresses regret over the locus;
on the CIA, particularly over;
the current wave of " myopic
rage " about the agency. " We
believe that the whole system,
not merely its most mystifying
appendage is worthy of exami-
nation," it declared. But of the
list of 150 station chiefs printed
inside it said "'T'his is certainly
information that the American
public should have in order to
understand how the CIA works."
The Fifth Estate, says that it
has not been difficult to compile
these lists: one of the simplest
ways is tc note all those foreign
service officers who have been
attached to the " Office of
Special Assistance -to the Am-
bassador.". That is diplomatic
language for the CIA, it says.
But spotting US " spooks "
abroad is not a new pastime.
A small volume entitled Who's
Who in the CIA. appeared in
Germany in 1967, but no one
took it very seriously.
Senator Frank Church. the
champion CIA exposer of the
Senate intelligence committee,
was listed. So was Lyndon John-
son. But so was Richard
Welch. Then in November 1974
in the Washington 'Monthly
John Marks, a former State
Department intelligence officer,
wrote an article uncompromis-
ingly entitled. How to Spot; a
Spook.
who has written a book about
his intelligence work called
Inside the Company: CIA Diary,
is seen by the old boys as an
agent of Russia's KGB.
The group's aim is to foster
a new force " capable of pene-
trating the excessive secrecy
rampant in politics today,"
a phenomenon which they
call " technofascism," cover-
ing any clandestine govern-
ment or corporate action-by
the White House, the army or
the police. Since it was formed,
three years ago, however, the
group has concentrated on the
more extreme activities of the
CIA. '
This is fully approved of by
backers like the writer Norman
Mailer. Be says: .,In this con-
text the Fifth Estate is homeo-
pathic medicine-one small
drop for a large disease, but at
least it is an instrument by
which people interested in a par-
ticipatory democracy may begin
to create the possibility of
centres of alternate intelligence
staffed by citizens for the use of
citizens."

tigate the Fifth Estate. His staff
conceded yesterday that the,
Government has no power to.
keep the magazine quiet.
"We have checked and found
there is nothing illegal about
publishing the names of C.I.A.
agents," said Mr. Kenneth Mac-
kenzie, Mr. McDonald's legisla-
tive assistant. .
Protecting sources
" If you leak information about
Agriculture Dopartrnent crop'
reports it is a criminal offence,
but there is nothin?d in the law
about naming peopre who work
for the C.I.A. The C.I.A. director
is charged with responsibility to
protect the agency's methods
and sources but is given no cor-.
responding authority.
"In effect, the protection that
has been afforded C.I.A. agents
so far is honorary."'
Mr. William Colby, the
agency's Director, is envious of
the British Official 'Secrets act
and has urged Congi-ess several
times to pass similar, legislation
to protect the C.I.A. . But con-'
ress has been more interested
n exposing the agency's covert
activities and Mr. Colby's pleas
have been disregarded.
Mr. McDonald thinks the'mur
der of ?,fr. Welch may have
changed the mood in Congress,
which.is now'in recess. He plans
to offer legislation to include
intelligence matters under exist-
ing laws prohibiting.. disclosure
of defence secrets.
