The re- port of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (the Church committee) first suggested how widely the government had been involved in planting informants inside New Left groups, propagating false information about these groups, and using a variety of tactics to disrupt their activities. That such tactics were also used on a vast scale against dissenting magazines and the underground press, however, has not been reported in a comprehensive way. The story has lain scattered in a hundred places. Now, documents obtained by editors and writers under the Freedom of Information Act, and interviews with former intelligence agents, make it pos- sible, for the first time, to put together a coherent - though not necessarily complete - account of the federal gov- ernment's systematic and sustained violation of the First Amendment during the late.l 960s and early 1970s. The government's offensive against the underground press primarily in- volved three agencies - the CIA, the FBI, and the Army. In many cases, their Angus Mackenzie is a free-lance writer in northern California. Editorial assistance was provided by Jay Peterzell of'the Center for National Security Studies in Washington, which also provided research assistance. The article was financed in part by the Fund for Investigative Journalism. activities stemmed from what they could claim were legitimate concerns. The CIA's Operation CHAOS, for example, was set up to look into the foreign con- nections of domestic dissidents; how- ever, it soon exceeded its mandate and became part of the broad attack on the left and on publications that were re- garded as creating a climate disruptive of the war effort. At its height, the gov- ernment's offensive may have affected more than 150 of the roughly 500 un- derground publications that became the nerve centers of the antiwar and coun- tercultural movements.' A telling example of this offensive was the harassment of Liberation News Service, which, when opposition to the Vietnam War was building, played a key role in keeping the disparate parts of the antiwar movement informed. By 1968, the FBI had assigned three infor- mants to penetrate the news service, while nine other informants regularly reported on it from the outside. Their- reports were forwarded to the U.S. Ar- my's Counterintelligence Branch, where an analyst kept tabs on LNS founders Ray Mungo and Marshall Bloom, and to the Secret Service, the Internal Revenue Service, the Navy, the Air Force, and the CIA. The FBI also attempted to dis- credit and break up the news service through various counterintelligence ac- tivities, such as trying to make LNS ap- pear to be an FBI front, to create friction among staff members, and to burn down the LNS office in Washington while the staff slept upstairs. Before long, the CIA, too, joined the offensive; one of its recruits began filing reports on the movements of LNS staff members while reporting for the underground press to establish his cover as an underground journalist. The CIA was apparently the first fed- eral agency to plan actions against domestic publications. Its Operation CHAOS grew out of an investigation of Ramparts magazine, which during the late 1960s was perhaps the leading na- tional publication of the left. In early 1967, Ramparts was preparing to pub- lish an expose on the CIA's funding of the U.S. National Student Association and on various foundations the agency used as conduits for that funding. The CIA got wind of the article in January 1967, two months before the planned March publication date. Viewing the article as "an attack on CIA in particular and the administration in general," the agency started to monitor the activities of Ramparts editors, ostensibly to ascer- tain whether they had contacts with hos- tile intelligence services. The CIA's Di- rectorate of Plans (its "dirty tricks" de- partment) assigned to counterintelli- gence agent Richard Ober the task of "pulling together information on Ram- parts, including any evidence of sub- version [and] devising proposals for counteraction." While those proposals remain secret, several details relating to the Ramparts operation have become known. n February 1, an associate of Ober's met with Thomas Terry, assistant to the com- missioner of the Internal Reve- nue Service, to request that the IRS review Ramparts' corpo- rate tax returns to determine who the magazine's backers were. Terry agreed to do so. Subsequently, Ober's office provided the IRS with "detailed infor- mant information" about Ramparts backers, whom the IRS was requested to investigate for possible tax violations. Ober's investigation of the magazine 'uncovered no "evidence of subversion" or ties to foreign intelligence agencies. By August, however, it had produced a computerized listing of several hundred Americans, about fifty of whom were the subject of detailed files. In August, too, Ober's mandate was expanded as the CIA, responding to pressure from President Johnson, ini- 57 MARCH APRIL 1981 --- Approved For Release 2009/05/29: CIA-RDP89B00236R000500090007-3 Approved For Release 2009/05/29: CIA-RDP89B00236R000500090007-3 S 40 tiated a massive and largely still-secret program of spying on and analyzing political protest - that is, Operation CHAOS. The underground press was one of its targets, the others being an- tiwar groups, radical youth organiza- tions, black militants, and deserters and draft resisters. CHAOS, of course, raised special problems because it vio- lated a clause in the agency's charter prohibiting the CIA from performing any "internal security function." To give a semblance of legality to the op- eration, the same justification was used as in the Ramparts investigation - namely, that the motive was to search out possible foreign funding or control. In tracking the press, the CIA was able to count on help from the Army, with which, CHAOS files state, "Direct operational discussions on joint agent operations have been held." Ralph Stein directed the "New Left" desk for the Army's Counterintelligence Analysis Branch in Arlington, Virginia. The branch kept track of underground periodicals and maintained a microfilm crossfile on writers and editors affiliated with them. Stein got most of his infor- mation from public sources, but some of it came from classified intelligence re- ports which, he says, were provided by FBI and Army infiltrators. "Their in- formation was too good, too inside," to have come from public source material, Stein recalled in a recent interview. In late 1967, Stein was dispatched to CIA headquarters to brief liaison officer Jim Ludlum and others (presumably from Ober's office) on underground and student publications. He found, how- ever, that the CIA men already knew a great deal about the subject. Two questions were foremost in their minds. They wanted to know all about "the ideas and beliefs of the individuals who produced these publications," Stein re- called, and about foreign financing of such prominent publications as Ram- parts and a host of small underground papers. Stein's response to the latter question was, presumably, unsatisfac- tory. "Far from being financed by any hostile power abroad," he commented recently, "the people who were putting out these papers were actually using their lunch money, and we were able to prove this." After his briefing session at the CIA, Stein returned to his Arlington office, where he remarked that he thought the CIA was not supposed to engage in domestic surveillance. Shortly thereafter, he was relieved of his liaison duties with the agency, which were taken over by a superior. L ike Stein, Ober found no evidence to support the suspicion that domestic dissidents were being financed or controlled by foreign powers. And, to Ober's credit, his office consistently reported that the antiwar and black nationalist movements were, in fact, re- sponses to domestic political and eco- nomic frustrations. But the White House could not abandon what had by now be- come an We fixe and - particularly after Richard Nixon's election in 1968 - it pushed the CIA to probe further into domestic politics. The collection of names continued apace. (By 1973, when CHAOS was converted into the CIA's International Terrorism Group, the computerized list of Americans that Ober had begun to compile in 1967 had grown to include 300,000 names.) In May 1969, as surveillance activi- ties increased, then-CIA Like many small antiwar papers, the Buffalo Town Crier was printed by a non-union shop.

Richard Helms stated in a memo to field offices that "Operational priority of CHAOS activities in the field is in the highest category, ranking with Soviet and Chicom [Chinese Communist]." While the agency had formerly relied on FBI personnel, it now began recruiting outsiders for CHAOS undercover work. One such recruit was Sal Ferrera, men- tioned in a December 27, 1977, New York Times article as having worked as a CIA operative in Washington, D.C., and Paris. The details of Ferrera's as- sociation with Operation CHAOS are reported here for the first time. They provide a glimpse into just how the CIA spied on the American press. Ferrera grew up in Chicago, studied revolutionary theory at Loyola Univer- sity, and in 1969 moved to Washington, D.C., where he made contact with local journalists writing for underground publications. He attended early meet- ings of the newly founded Quicksilver Times, which quickly became the city's leading crusader against the Vietnam War. When the first issue came out on June 16, 1969, Ferrera's.name was on the masthead. He participated in edito- rial decisions and represented the paper at various functions, and he continued to work in the underground press at home and abroad until 1974. - At some point not yet known he also went to work for CHAOS, his under- ground press connections providing him with impeccable "radical credentials." Wherever there was radical activity, Ferrera seemed to be there. Between January and April 1970, he interviewed Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, and other members of the Chicago Seven, as well as their lawyer, William Kunstler. In Washington, he became acquainted with Karl Hess, who worked for The Liber- tarian magazine, and soon took to dropping in to visit Hess's office in the basement of the Institute for Policy Studies, a center for antiwar activities. During the 1971 May Day antiwar demonstration in Washington, Ferrera took photographs and reported on the event for College Press Service, an an- tiwar syndication service; he may well have been the agent mentioned in the Rockefeller Commission's hearings on the CIA as having covered the demon- stration for the agency. He also appears to have been the source of two reports to the CIA regarding staff members of Liberation News Service. In late April, when Ferrera was still working in the Quicksilver office, an LNS editor stop- ped in to ask if LNS staff members who planned to come down from New York for May Day could lodge there. A CHAOS informant's report, dated April 25 and released to LNS editor Andrew Marx under the FOIA, refers to this visit. A second report lists all LNS staff members who attended the May Day demonstration. Ferrera subsequently went to live in Paris, where he wrote articles on radical student politics for LNS and College Press Service. In 1972, the CIA as- signed Ferrera and another agent to monitor the activities of Philip Agee, who was then living in Paris and writing Inside the Company, his expose of CIA operations in Latin America. Ferrera re- turned to the U.S. (and legally changed his name) in 1975, the year Agee's book appeared. When interviewed for this ar- ticle, he denied his relationship with the CIA. F errera's activities were not uni- que, as documents obtained by the Center for National Secu; rity Studies, a public-interest group based in Washington, D.C., make clear. In one memorandum a former'CIA ease officer for domestic CHAOS agents is quoted as saying that several such agents were active in this country "anywhere from months to years." Their activities belie the contention of the Church committee report, based on the claims of the CIA itself, that CHAOS agents operated in the U.S. primarily for training and cover purposes. Four months after CHAOS was set up, the CIA initiated another domestic spying program. Run by the agency's Office of Security, it was dubbed Project Resistance - and it soon came up with a novel and quite effective means of shutting down dissident publications. Created in the wake of a program begun in February 1967 and designed narrowly to protect CIA recruiters on college campuses, Resistance soon became a nationwide probe of campus and non- campus dissident groups, paying special attention to the underground press. The Church committee report stated that Project Resistance was "a broad effort to obtain general background for pre- dicting violence, which might have created threats to CIA installations, re- cruiters or contractors...." Files ob- tained by the Center for National Secu- rity Studies, however, make it clear that Project Resistance's main purpose was to infiltrate the underground press, and that it did so routinely, sometimes through local police informers. In late 1968, a Resistance analyst filed the following memo: A modern phenomenon which has evolved in the last three or four years is the vast growth of the Underground Press. Underground means of mass communication utilized to avoid suppression by legal authority and/or attribution is not new to this age, but its.vol- ume is and the apparent freedom and ease in which filth, slanderous and libelous state- ments, and what appear to be almost treasonous anti-establishment propaganda is allowed to circulate is difficult to rationalize. Then he suggested a novel strategy for silencing such "anti-establishment propaganda." The underground papers, he wrote, "are not a quality press. Eight out of 10 would fail if a few phonograph record companies stopped advertising in them." Since Resistance, like CHAOS, was nominally a spy operation, and since, again nominally, the CIA was prohibited from performing any "inter- nal security function," the CIA did not itself feel comfortable carrying out such a program. The FBI, however, felt no such inhibitions. In January 1969, four months after the Resistance agent had filed his memo on the underground press, the FBI's San Francisco office wrote to headquarters in Washington and to the FBI's New York office, asserting that financial "assist- ance" from Columbia Records - i.e., advertisements in the Berkeley Barb and other underground papers - "appears to be giving active aid and comfort to enemies of the United States." The San Francisco office suggested that the FBI should use its contacts to persuade Co- lumbia Records to stop advertising in the underground. press. One of the first publications to feel the effect of this strategy was the Free Press, an alternative' paper in Washing- ton, D.C. Its February 1 issue was the last to carry Columbia record ads, a vital source of revenue. By the end of the s0 COLUMBIA JOURNALISM REVIEW Approved For Release 2009/05/29: CIA-RDP89B00236R000500090007-3 Approved For Release 2009/05/29: CIA-RDP89B00236R000500090007-3 year the paper was dead. In Wisconsin, .the six-paper Kaleidoscope underground chain, created for the express purpose of obtaining ads from New' York record companies, also succumbed. In a recent interview, Marc Knops, the editor of the Madison Kaleidoscope, which survived briefly on local ads, said that when the record companies pulled out, "The bot- tom fell out of the ad market. By autumn 1969 there was no income. Kaleido- scope was gone as a functioning chain." (In 1970 the former chain's Milwaukee paper, also surviving on local ads, was the target of another effort by the FBI's local office, which attempted - but failed - to use "public exposure" to gain the dismissal of two professors who frequently contributed to the. under- ground paper. Similar, more successful efforts were directed against professors at the University of South Alabama who had contributed to the radical Rear- guard.) Deprived of most of its record ads, the Berkeley Barb survived on lewd sex ads. At the Barb, as elsewhere, editors and staff had no clear indication of why In this 1968 letter, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover authorized the Bureau's Detroit office to go after South End, the student paper at Wayne State University. The plan: send anonymous letters - e.g., from "a concerned parent" - urging state officials to cut off the paper's funding. He also suggested leaning on South End's advertisers SAC, Detroit (157-3214) . l i otG X26 t Authority is rrent.od to pall the ?nonyrouis lettern sot out in rolet.

Columbia Records has de- clined to comment. Throughout the country, other FBI offices employed similar tactics to silence the dissident press. When headquarters ordered the Detroit office to "neutralize" the South End and the State News, the student, papers at Wayne State and Michigan State uni- versities respectively, the office sent anonymous letters of protest to local businesses that advertised in them. A more limited campaign was waged against The Tech, the student paper at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Another bureau ploy used against col- lege papers consisted of anonymously mailing their most controversial articles to funding sources and other influential persons, including state legislators, col- lege trustees, and "friendly news media." "Items submitted should be extremely radical on their face, use pro- fanity or be repulsive in nature," J. Edgar Hoover stated in a directive to fourteen field offices in May 1968. The FBI also enlisted the assistance of local banks. In Cincinnati, the branch office obtained transaction records for two underground papers, the Indepen- dent Eye and the Queen City Express, helping it to identify advertisers and contributors. "As information is gath- ered," a memo dated July 8, 1970 stated, "it is believed there will be op- portunities to suggest counterintelli- gence action against individuals and groups who are giving financial support to these publications." Showing initiative, in 1970 the El Paso office proposed a "possible coun- terintelligent [sic] action" designed to silence the editor of the underground The Sea Turtle and the Shark; the idea was to publicize his alleged past crimi- nal activities and "dependence upon various welfare programs." Eventually the editor was arrested for selling an "obscene newspaper" to a minor after the FBI had supplied information to local authorities. In addition to these comparatively re- strained strategies, the FBI also insti- gated violent acts. In San Diego, for in- stance, the paramilitary Secret Army Organization, led by FBI informant 64 COLUMBIA JOURNALISM REVIEW Approved For Release 2009/05/29: CIA-RDP89B00236R000500090007-3 Approved For Release 2009/05/29: CIA-RDP89B00236R000500090007-3 ? ? Howard Godfrey, assaulted the offices and staff of the Street Journal on De- cember 25, 1969. By January of 1971, the commune that published the Journal had broken up. FBI documents released under the FOIA show for the first time that the Secret Army Organization's operations extended as far east as Wis- consin, where the organization threatened to kidnap Mike Fellner, editor of the radical Madison paper Takeover. In some cities, when direct attacks proved unsuccessful, the government set up its own phony news service which, so long as it was unexposed, provided a means of penetrating the left; once ex- posed, it cast suspicion on legitimate underground reporters and helped to create a feeling of paranoia. The Army started Midwest News in Chicago, ac- cording to former intelligence officer Ralph Stein; in San Francisco, the FBI set up Pacific International News Serv- ice. The head of the FBI's San Francisco office at the time, Charles Bates - he is now a reporter for KGO-TV in San Francisco - said recently that he did not specifically recall Pacific Interna- tional, but added that front operations of that kind "would have been fine if it weren't put down in writing." A spokesman for the San Francisco field office refused to confirm or deny the bu- reau's use of the news service. Mean- while, on the East Coast, the FBI oper- ated New York Press Service under the direction of Louis Salzberg. NYPS of- fered its services to left-wing publica- tions at attractive rates, soliciting busi- ness with a letter that read, in part: "The next time your organization schedules a demonstration, march, picket or office party, let us know in advance. We'll cover it like a blanket and deliver a cost free sample of our work to your office." NYPS's cover was blown when Salz- berg surfaced as a government witness in the Chicago Seven trial, during which it was disclosed that he had been an FBI informant. The New York field office shrewdly turned this setback into a means of cast- ing suspicion on Liberation News Serv- ice. The office prepared an anonymous letter, copies of which were sent to newspapers and antiwar groups, accus- ing LNS of being an FBI front. "Lns [sic] is in an ideal position to infiltrate the movement at every level," the letter stated. "It has carefully concealed its books from all but a select few. Former employees have openly questioned its sources of operating funds. I shall write to you further on Lns for I (and several others) are taking steps to expose this fraud for what it really is - a govern- ment financed front." Fiefdoms of information In my two-year-long effort to obtain fed- eral agency files on underground publica- tions, I learned almost as much about how the Freedom of Information Act works - or doesn't work - as I did about the means by which the government sought to suppress dissent in the 1960s and 1970s. I found, above all, that while some agen- cies were quite cooperative, the CIA and FBI proved adept at keeping their infor- mation to themselves. In requesting FBI counterintelligence files and the entire "New Left Publica- tions" file under the FOIA, I was able to supply the bureau with seventy-eight file numbers relating to forty-seven periodi- cals (obtained from heavily censored files previously released to editors of publica- tions that no longer exist). Since the most difficult element in any request is identify- ing documents specifically enough so that the agency can locate them, this should have facilitated a quick response. Instead, the FBI demanded an advance deposit of $1,100 for more than 1,100 hours of search time. My appeal of that payment is still pending. In the case of the CIA, I was able to supply the agency with four file numbers. After twenty-six days a letter came stating that I would have to agree to unspecified search fees. Nothing then happened until fourteen months later, when a second let- ter said I would have to deposit $30,000 on a search they estimated would cost a total of $61,501. The Secret Service, by contrast, waived search-and-copy fees and com- plied with my request within seventeen days, sending forty censored pages deal- ing with nineteen newspapers - even though I had been unable to supply any file numbers to the service. Likewise, the De- partment of Defense attempted to comply with the intent of the act, although, again, I was unable to supply file numbers. Within thirty-two days of my request, the department waived $445.50 in search- and-copy fees. After a search, its Defense Investigative Service determined that it might have records on seventeen of the 500.newspapers on my list. Supposedly, new teeth were put in the FOIA in 1974. At the time, a House- Senate conference report said that agen- cies must comply with requests within thirty days, that "fees should not be used for the purpose of discouraging re- quests," and that withheld files must con- cern activity within the agency's legal au- thority. My experience shows that the CIA and the FBI refuse to comply with both the intent and letter of the amended act. A. M. u S ch, then, were the techniques used by the U.S. government to stifle freedom of expres- sion in the late 1960s and early 1970s. These and other violations of American civil liberties, as publicized in the Church committee report, together with the public revulsion that attended its publi- cation, resulted in restrictions on domestic surveillance by the CIA and FBI. Now the removal of those safeguards seems a distinct possibility, at least to judge by the recent report on intelligence issued by the Heritage Foundation and embraced by the Reagan transition team. That report claims that "The threat to the internal security of the Republic is greater today than at any time since World War II" and recom- mends resurrecting the standing internal security committees in Congress and, once again, permitting the FBI and CIA to spy on dissidents, including jour- nalists. If Reagan officials do go ahead and propose such measures, they will un- doubtedly argue that guarantees can be established to prevent surveillance from getting out of hand. But if the experi- ence of the Johnson and Nixon years is any guide, even programs which begin quite modestly can expand far beyond their original mandate. ^ MARCH/APRIL 1981 83 Approved For Release 2009/05/29: CIA-RDP89B00236R000500090007-3 Approved For Release 2009/05/29: CIA-RDP89B00236R000500090007-3 Iq Next 16 Page(s) In Document Denied STAT Approved For Release 2009/05/29: CIA-RDP89B00236R000500090007-3 Approved For Release 2009/05/29: CIA-RDP89B00236R000500090007-3 ?. ?
