SABOTAGING
TNE DISSIDENT PRESS
The untold story of
the secret offensive
waged by the U.S.
government against
antiwar publications
by ANGUS MACKENZIE
he American public has learned
in the -last few years a great
deal about the government's
surveillance of the left during
the Vietnam War era. 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

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-

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

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

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

a major source of revenue had suddenly
evaporated. 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

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. ^
