Would he not have made a surreptitious entry to obtain it? A_ No such entry was made at any time to my knowledge _ I say this very firmly because the Bureau policy before the late 1950s concerning such a technique had changed. 1' Q= (By . Jack Smith) What do you mean by saying this policy had changed? A. During my period with the Bureau, from the beginning , such ) activity had to be approved by the Bureau,With reference to uAl~ i thaz the period of time the policy had changedvto the extent that obtaining authority was virtually impossible. 12 NW 88614 Docld:32989606 13 give they 4- VQ.

Aa Not beyond his affiliation with Levison and the other individuals previously mentioned. Q= What was the objective of the investigation of and SCLC? To determine possible communist influence of and SCLC . If 9 as you state, you did not develop information that was a communist, was not this investigation in vain? #A. Not in my opinion_ It is correct it did not establish that was a CP member _ It did establish that he was in contact with individuals then having past or present CP affiliation which was the objective of the investigation. 52 ITEM 'E Retea: Do you remember dur 1963 alleged that Bureau Agents Doplainz were nd responsive to civil rights complieations in the vicinity of Albany , Georgia, and other South Georgia locations? 13 NW-88614_Docld: 32989606_Page 14 King, 1Q- part King 1A= King VQ King King Yattazhr ~0 King ing ================================================== Page 15 ================================================== A_ Yes, I recall news media information concerning such allegations _ Q In response to these allegations by do you remember that Mr .

Edgar Hoover Director Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, Da C. Dear Mr. Hoover: Mr. Papich has orally informed me that you wish to have the identity of the FBI agent who was the source of certain information communicated to an employee of this Agency, Mr . Michael odorovich: This information regarding the disappearance Of one Thomas_Riha was in turn passed to Dr. Joseph Smiley, then President of Colorado Univer Boulder , Colorado, now President of & univer sity in El Paso, Texas, and to the District Attorney of Denver, Mr. James McKevitt. In view of your personal interest in this matter, I instructed Mr . Todorovich to report to me in person: I have reviewed this complicated case in detail with Mr. Todorovich and have requested him to reveal the identity of his source. As & of honor and personal integrity, Mr. Todorovich was adamant that he could not disclose the identity of his source, Under further pressure from me, Mr. Todorovich maintained his position, stating that in de- fense of it he was prepared to submit his resignation immediately. Mr. Todorovich explained that the Riha/Galya Tannenbaum cases had been given extensive news coverage, much of it being sensational in nature. He stressed that there was embarrassing public speculation as to the po8sible involvement of the CIA and the FBI in Riha' $ disappearance. SCR7F NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION Unauthorized Disclosure Subject to Criminal Sanctions NWV 88614 Docld:32989606 Page 62 sity, point ================================================== Page 63 ================================================== SECRET The purpoge of Mr. Todorovich' s conference with the District Attorney of Denver was to solicit his good offices to remove pres - sures and the possible serving of a subpoena on Dr. Jogeph Smiley. He also sought to orient the District Attorney properly s0 that he would not continue to have an erroneous impression of the roles of the CIA and the FBI, thereby eliminating further adverse publicity. Mr. Todorovich affirms that before going to District Attorney McKevitt he called upon the FBI Special Agent in Charge, Mr . Scott Werner, and sought to coordinate with him our respective interests. He also solicited Mr. Werner to accompany him to the District Attorney. Wsmev Mr. Todorovich states that Mr. Werner refused absolutely to acs] cooperate in this matter_ Instead, Mr. Werner engaged in an oral exchange during which he remarked that our representative in Boulder was "lying" and then proceeded to challenge the veracity of Mr. Todorovich. Subsequently , Mr . Todorovich conferred with the District Attorney alone_ He was successful in persuading the District Attorney to make a favorable public statement which had the effect of putting this issue regarding Dr. Smiley and other rumors to rest a8 far as the public was concerned: I have carefully reviewed the statements of Mr. Todorovich. I feel that poor judgment was employed in passing the information in question to Dr_ Smiley and later to the District Attorney. This should only have been done with specific FBI approval: I wish to assure you that I do not condone violations of the third agency rule, and I am taking steps to impress once again this elementary fact upon all Agency officials. With_Iegard to Mr: Todorovich, Ihave noreason_to_doubt that Dri he has acted honestiy: Ibelieve that hehas_reported to me in good faith He is Sincerely interested in preserving &, sound working relationship between the CIA and the FBI; Nevertheless , because & situation of this sort adversely affect3 the relationship between the two agencies, I am taking administrative action in this matter with regard to Mr. Todorovich. 8ECREF cx 43x} ~~oiu ~altL Ge Lel-tl) 0} #@ 0t/~ 3t4 NWN 88614 Docld:32989606 63 7+ rlst Gn 0~at14- 7lolt Page ================================================== Page 64 ================================================== SEGRe} While the following is not pertinent to your request, my review of this case suggests the advisability of a re-examination of Riha' s disappearance and past activities and, necessarily, the Tannenbaum case, Briefly, since 1958 we have commurcated to your Bureau significant information which relates to Riha'8 involvement with Czech and Soviet intelligence services, when he was behind the Iron Curtain. I attach for your information and convenience copies of pertinent reports regarding this aspect of the case. I hope sincerely that this recent incident will not impair our mutual efforts in making certain that we have not overlooked factors possibly having & significant bearing on U.S. intelligence and internal security interests. I shall pursue this matter through our respective liaison offices. In closings Mr . Hoover, I wish to state that this Agency can fully perform its duties in the furtherance_of the national security when it has the closest coordination and teamwork with the Federal Bureau 0f Investigation: Furthermore, it is necessary that we continue to con- duct our business in an atmosphere of mutual respect: I trust that we can coordinate closely any future developments or actions in these cases, in order to prevent the airing in public of conflicts or differences between the two agencies. I feel strongly that there are representatives of the news media who are eager to exploit alleged differences on a national s cale.

This publicity is why the Senate Committee asked for documents on INLET The White House and Senator Bob Packwood inquired about the Program .

The name ad symbol of the new party were taken from the Lowndes County Freedom Organization , an Alabama political party known infor- mally in 1965 as the Black Panther Party. From the writings of communists , revolutionaries , and black militants _ Newton and Seale allegedly selected HUEY PERCY NEWTON ideas around which they could build a revolutionary frame that suited the needs of their party . Influential writings in- cluded those of Mao Tse-tung, Chinese Communist leader; Frantz Fanon West Indian psychiatrist who advocated violence for Algerian nationalists; Ernesto "Che"' Guevara, one-time lieutenant of Cuba's Fidel Castro and a principal architect of 20th century guerrilla warfare; Malcolm X, American black nationalist who advocated violence to obtain Negro 4 ""'freedom'= and W. E: B. DuBois , Negro educator who became a member of the Communist Party, USA, at the age of 93. The organization was at first called the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense; however, the "Self- Defense' was removed in 1968 in an effort to project a more politically oriented image to prospective BOBBY GEORGE SEALE - sympathizers and supporters. As head of the new Black Panther Party , Newton assumed the title Minister of Defense, and Seale was named Chairman: When questioned about the membership of their organization, Newton and Seale the since oft-repeated reply: "'Those who know don't say. Those who say don't know. 12 The militancy of the group, however, had an immediate appeal to the discontented, restless youth 0f Oakland's ghettos.

We want full employment for our people. We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligaled to give every man employment Or a guaranleed incoine. We believe that if the while American businessmen will not give (ull employment. then the means of' procluction should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so (hat the people o the community can organize and em- plov: all of its people and give a high standard o 3 NW 88614 Docld: 32989606 Page 126 living: ================================================== Page 127 ================================================== 3_ We want &n1 end to the robbery by the CAPITALIST of our Black Community: We believe that this racist government has robbed US and now we are demanding the overdue debt %f forty acres and two mules Forty acres and two mules was promised 100 years ag0 as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people. We will accept the_payment in currency which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people: The Ger- mans murdered six million Jews. The Ameriean racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty million black people; therefore, we feel that this is a modest demand that we make. 4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings. We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community. then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people: 5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of thts decadent American society. We want educatton that teaches uS Our true history and our role In the present-dey society. We believe in an educational system that will give to Our people a knowl edge of self: If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything else. 6. We want black men to be exempt from miltary service: We believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in the mili- tary service to defend a racist government that does not protect us; We wili not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black people, are victimized by the white racist government 0f America: We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary: 7. We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of black people. We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by or- ganizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We thetefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for self-defense. 8 We want freedom for all black men held In federal, state, county and city prisons and jails. We believe that all black people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial.

We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries 01 that have no understanding of the "average reasoning Eian" of the black community. 10. We want land, bread , housing, education, clothing, justice and peace: And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebls clte to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the wIll of black people as to their.national destiny. When , in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that should declare the causes which impel them to the separation: We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable righls; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness Thal, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such prineiples, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall scem most likely to effect their safety and happiness: Pru- dence_ indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not he changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown. thal mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable; than lo right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are acclstomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations; pur- suing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under 2b solute despolism; It is their right, it is their duty, to throw ofT such govern- ment and to provide new guards for their future security. 5 NW 88614 Docld: 32989606 Page 128 they they ================================================== Page 129 ================================================== BLACK PANTHER PARTY III: RISE OF BLACK PANTHER PARTY Proclaiming a legal right to bear arms, the Panthers by early 1967 had begun to appear in public wearing black leather jackets and black berets, openly carrying shotguns, rifles, or pistols, and shouldering bandoliers of ammunition: Calling the police ''pigs, the Panthers began a buildup in Negro areas 0f the idea that police departments, especially that in Oakland, were dedicated to the brutalization and harassment of minority groups, and, acting as an appendage of white government authority , were working toward the eventual annihilation (geno- cide) of the Negro race: Invasion of California State Legislature The first incident that brought national attention to this group occurred 0n May 2, 1967 , as the California Legislature was in session in Sacramento. Approximately 40 members of the Black Panther Party, carrying loaded rifles, pistols, and shotguns, and some wearing bandoliers of ammunition about their waists or draped over their shoulders, burst into the Chamber: were protesting a bill being introduced 0n that date outlawing the carrying of loaded weapons in public and were proclaiming their right to bear arms and criticize the police: Before were arrested, they passed out mimeographed leaflets calling on all Negroes to end the "terrorist'' oppression of colored races by white America and referring to the preparation of concentration camps in the United States as a beginning 0f genocide: Police Officer Meets Panthers--and Death The Panthers became more militant with the passing of time: At 5:00 a.m., October 28, 1967 , two Oakland, California, patrol officers, John F. and Herbert C. Heanes, made a routine traffic violation car stop. While the officers were a- waiting the results of the car registration check by radio, the driver, Huey Newton; out of the car. Suddenly _ shooting broke out: Officer Frey was killed; Officer Heanes was wounded critically; and Newton received a stomach wound. He stopped a passing automobile and had the driver take him to a hospital where he was taken into custody and hospitalized. After a state trial, which began July 15, 1968, Newton was sentenced on September 27 , 1968, to serve from 2 to 15 years on a charge of voluntary manslaughter: * "Free Huey' Campaign Two days after Patrolman Frey' s death, the Huey Newton Defense Fun d was established at a meeting of a section of the Negro community of Oakland: The cry 0f ''Free Huey" became a clarion call. The imprisoned Newton was built up in the public eye as 'black and bold in defense of his people 70 Each #It was ruled later that the presiding judge in this trial erred in instructions to the jury. Newton was released August 5, 1970, and scheduled for retrial. 6 NW 88614 Docld: 32989606 Page 129 They they Frey got ================================================== Page 130 ================================================== bringing its own axe to gril, such organizations as the anarchist New Left group named Students for a Democratic Society; the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party and its youth group, the Young Socialist Alliance; the Communist Chinese- oriented Progressive Labor Party; the Communist Party , USA, and its youth affiliate, the W. E. B: DuBois Clubs of America; and militant campus groups, black and white, began to gather in SUp- port of the Panthers , who were wi not only to defy the establishment; but to destroy it: Enter Leroy Eldridge Cleaver LEROY ELDRIDGE CLEAVER Early in 1967, the Panthers were joined by a recent parolee from the California prison system; author of a best-selling autobiography, Soul On Ice, staff writer for the magazine Ramparts, and admitted Marxist I Leroy Eldridge Cleaver. In Soul On Ice, Cleaver wrote: sought out his (Marx's) books lt was like taking medicine for me to find that, indeed, American Capitalism deserved all the hatred and contempt that felt for it in my heart. = After Newton was jailed, although he remained the undisputed leader, it soon became apparent that Cleaver, designated Minister f Information, was projecting a major leadership image: The Party began to further widen its publicity, nation- ally and internationally , and enlarge its radical support ad revolutionary intent: As an example of this spreading influence of the Panther Party , the 1968 National Election ticket of the Peace and Freedom Party, a coalition of radical groups, included Cleaver as candidate for the Presidential nomination; Newton as candidate for the 7th Congressional District 0f Alameda County, California; Kath- leen Cleaver, 18th Assembly District; California State Legislature; Bobby Seale, 17th Assembly District, California State Legislature: Cleaver received a national total of almost 200,000 votes. Only a small percentage of the California elector- ate cast their votes for Newton, Seale, and Kathleen Cleaver_ On the evening of April 6, 1968, Cleaver and several Panthers became involved in a shoot-out with Oakland police officers. The incident resulted in the death of a Panther, the wounding of two police officers, and the wounding and arrest of Cleaver. Cleaver's parole was revoked immediately and he was returned to prison. After much publicity, he was later released on bail by a Superior Court Judge who ruled that the jeopardy of his parole status stemmed "from his undue eloquence in pursuing political goals.-.offensive to many of his contemporaries." This decision was overruled by the District Court of Appeals and upheld by the California Court of Appeals. Cleaver was ordered to return to prison by November 27 , 1968. Elect- to become a Federal fugitive, he disappeared in late November, 1968, going first to Havana, Cuba, ad later to Algiers, where he has established residence: International Committee to Defend Eldridge Cleaver Soon after Cleaver's arrest in the spring of 1968, approximately 150 prominent individuals sponsored the establishment 0f an International Committee to Defend Eldridge Cleaver: The committee intended to dispatch a team to Europe to gain NW 88614 Docld:32989606 Page 130 iling "1 ing ================================================== Page 131 ================================================== international support and arrange for a European edition of Cleaver' $ book, Soul On Ice. Rise of the Black Panther Party In 1968, the hard-core membership of the Black Panther Party was esti- mated at only 125, and Panther activity was confined largely to the San Francisco- Oakland, California, area: However, because of the dramatic shoot-outs, the "'Free Huey" Campaign, the funds established for the defense of both Newton and Cleaver, the widespread publicity, and the support given readily by white radical groups ad individual sympathizers, the Black Panther Party began to grow rapidly , not only in membership but in militancy and influence: Chapters began to appear in major cities throughout the country. By the end of 1968, the membership had reached nearly 2,000 , with additional thousands of sympathizers and supporters. 1968: BALLOT OR THE BULLET KATHLEEN CLEA VER; COMMUNICATION SECT BLACK PANTHER PARTY 18th ASSEMBLY DISTRICT SF PEACE & FREEDOM PARTY SHOOT YOUR SHOT 8 NW 88614 Docld:32989606 131 May , Page_ ================================================== Page 132 ================================================== BLACK PANTHER PARTY IV.

This group, a Panther Party front, was set up as the result of a revolutionary conference, called National Conference for a United Front Against Fascism, held in Oakland, California, in July, 1969. The conference, sponsored by the Black Panther and assisted by the anarchist Students for a Democratic Society and the Communist Party , USA, was called to form a coalition of black and white radicals, described as ""oppressed people. The National Committee to Combat Fascism is considered by Party leaders to be the "political organizing bureau" 0f the Black Panther Party. Its specific task allegedly is to raise the political [evel of the people and educate them against the system: International Section On September 13, 1970 , the International Section of the Black Panther Party officially opened in Algiers. Joining Cleaver on the staff were his wife, Kathleen; and Field Marshal Donald Lee a fugitive from justice. Cox faces charges of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution for conspiracy to commit murder, based 0n a warrant issued on April 20, 1970, at Baltimore, Maryland. He also failed to appear on 14, 1970, in San Francisco, to answer Federal firearms charges. This section, in its entirety , was expelled from the Black Panther Party by Huey Newton on February 27 , 1971. The expulsion resulted from tensions and differences between Party hierarchy which led to disruptive factionalism: 10 NW 88614 Docld:32989606 Page 133 Party Cox, May ================================================== Page 134 ================================================== D.

"SOCIALISTIC" PROGRAMS Panther Party leaders insist their primary aim is to serve the "people; meaning ghetto blacks. To establish good intent, Party officials have set up a se- ries of community services aimed at recruiting members and sympathizers and building Party influence in ghetto areas. These programs, described by the Pan- thers as "socialistic"' programs, are suppos to be carried out by all Party branches and include: "liberation schools" to give < people a knowledge of self"= free health clinics, with money , medical supplies and professional serv- ices donated by laymen and professionals in the community; free clothing programs, with clothing donated by the community; Community Information Centers, to "an- swer the basic needs of the people"; and a monthly free shuttle bus service for families of blacks in prison. Few of these programs actually are carried out; and those that have been attempted have been mostly unsuccessful. The program that has received the most publicity is the "breakfast program; devised as a further means 0f indoctrinating Negro youth in Panther teachings of racism and rebellion. As expressed in The Black Panther, June 14, 1969, "The youth we are feeding will surely feed the revolution_ Breakfasts are held for ghetto children either at churches, housing projects, Panther Community Informa- tion Centers, or other space that can be obtained: free 0f charge: Panthers usually ask local businessmen to donate food or money to this program, boycotting stores that refuse to participate: At these functions, children have been known to such chants as: "1 am a revolutionary.

Blacks, according to the Panthers, must, through urban guerrilla warfare, use guns to liberate themselves from the ever-present repressive enemy. Children in Panther *schools" do their exercises to the rhythm of: "There is a pig upon the hill R if you don't kill him the Panthers will." Numerous claims have been made that the Black Panther Party is an innocent victim of police persecution and genocide: This charge is rendered absurd by fact; During 1970, 6 police officers were killed and 22 wounded through acts of violence traced to the Panthers. One officer, in 1969, was killed by a Panther with a shot- gun blast at point-blank range as the officer wounded and helpless on the ground: Out of 20 members named by the Panther Party as "killed in cold blood" by the police, four were killed by members of a rival black extremist group 0n the west coast; one died of barbiturate intoxication; one was shot and killed by a store owner during a robbery attempt; one was killed by his wife over a love affair he was having with a female Black Panther; and another was allegedly tor- tured and killed by Panther Party members. Of the remaining twel two were found dead on the street; the victims of unknown assailants, and ten were involved in shoot-outs with police officers. Attacks on Others Panther attacks have not been limited to the police: While claiming their intent to protect the black community , Panthers have assaulted and threatened citizens who have tried to assist the police: Neighborhood stores have been forced to "'contribute" food supplies and money under fear of Panther violence. Many other persons have also been victim- ized, as shown by the fact that in 1969 alone 348 Panther members were arrested for serious crimes, including murder, armed robbery , rape, bank robbery, and burglary. On April 21, 1969, 21 members of the Black Panther Party were charged in New York in a 30-count indictment with conspiring to bomb public places and murder policemen and with possessing dangerous weapons. 15 NW 88614 Docld:32989606 138 Iay ve, Page ================================================== Page 139 ================================================== Weapons Caches Stockpiles of machine guns, sawed-off shotguns, rifles, hand grenades, thou- sands of rounds of ammunition, Molotov cocktails, gunpowder, and accumulations of bayonets, swords, and machetes have been confiscated from Panther offices: "Revolutionary Suicide On August 7, 1970, Superior Court Judge Harold Haley, the Deputy District Attorney , and three other persons were tied together with piano wire and dragged from a San Rafael, California, courtroom and taken as hostages by three armed Negro convicts, one of whom was standing trial for stabbing a San Quentin prison guard. The escapees were assisted by the defendant's 17-year-old brother who supplied them with weapons for the escapade: Judge Haley , who had a sawed-off shotgun taped to his neck, and the other hostages were forced into a waiting van. When the authorities tried to stop the kidnappers, the judge was brutally murdered; the Deputy District Attorney was injured seriously; and another hostage was slightly wounded: Three Negroes were slain and one was wounded Immediately thereafter, Huey Newton declared the killing of Judge Haley as being of 'historical"' importance to the Black Panther Party - This declaration was based on the Panther belief that all black prisoners, regardless of their crimes, are political prisoners and should be released.

Black people will unleash in great numbers the Black kamakazi_."

To internationalize their Party ad enlarge their importance, Panther leaders have sought acceptance, support; and funds from sources abroad. have made numerous trips to foreign countries, including Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Palestine, Germany , France, England, Denmark, Sweden, Norway , Soviet Union, North Korea, North Vietnam, and the Chinese Mainland: Both at home and abroad , Panther leaders loudly proclaim anti-American sentiments and align themselves politically with the aims and tactics of enemy lands. The international contacts most important to the Panthers are made with revolutionary groups and communist countries, especially those that more closely follow Maoist thinking: The international news section of The Black Panther reflects attempts by the Black Panther Party to attract such attention, support, and aid.

It had previously been approved that the FBI would conduct the background investigations, furnishing the results to Senator Church, and after his determination that the individuals met the required criteria for access to classified information he would notify CIA of his determination 2 and intent to employ the individual involved, at which time CIA would grant the necessary clearance based on the certification by Senator Church_ In discussions between CIA and FBI representatives, we raised the question as to whether CIA would review the results of the investigation prior to granting clearances and CIA representatives indicated they did not intend to and were reluctant to inquire of Senator Church as to whether could be furnished the results of any investigations involving derogatory information: In discussing this matter with Senator Church, I inquired whether 1 he had any objection to our bringing to the attention of CIA any questionable cases in order that CIA representatives, who have the responsibility of granting the actual clearances, would be in a position to advise and counsel with Senator Church on those individual cases. He had absolutely no objection to this and, in fact; felt there should be an open communication between FBI, CIA and his Committee to insure that no one was appointed and cleared 7 who did not measure up in every respect from a security standpoint.

We discussed with him the investigative and clearance procedures we were following with the Senate Committee and Chairman Nedzi agreed the same procedures should be followed with his Committee, including our making available to CIA any derogatory information which might be pertinent to a clearance determination At first, he suggested that we send the results Of our investigations to CIA before coming to the Committee but then concluded that it would be more appropriate for them to come to him first Since some of the applicants under C onsideration would probably not be appointed: He specifically asked that we prepare a memorandum 0f under B= standing to be approved by CIA, FBI ad himself: I asked Mr _ Nedzi whether he felt the formulation 0f his Committee would serve to trim down the number of requests for information being received from various House committees and it was his opinion that it would help in some instances; however in others committee chairmen would pursue their own inquiries.
