an ce I. B. Ada e — + Ac0ams Y tious Entries a ; 1975, we advised the Civil Ri Division of an Oc , 1963, entry against a domestic group in New York City. The entry, against the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, was outside the scope of the Department's inquiry (i. e., entries subsequent to January 1, 1966) ; how- ever, on instruction of Deputy Associate Director Adams, who discovered the entry information during a review of material dealing with the Oswald investigation, we furnished information to the Civil Rights Division. (Memorandum attached) ights vate ee ee Reem ee ek ee Ee Cam kbamkae 893 Subsequent to prepararvion or WEL September aig 1975, memorandum dealing with domestic targets, we learned of an October, 1963, entry against a domestic target in New York City. Although this target did not fall within the scope of the Department's inquiry, we, nevertheless, furnished details to the Department, and amended our memoranda to the SSC. In addition, we amended a memorandum forwarded to the HSC on November 5, 1975, to include this newly discovered entry. On January 8, 1976, in connection with the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) suit against the Bureau, a communication was directed to our New York Office (as well as all other offices) to determine if any documents existed pertaining to entries against the SWP. (Communication attached) On January 22, 1976, the New York Office advised of a number of entries against the SWP (93) which had not previously been brought to the attention of either the SWP plaintiffs, or the Department. These entries occurred during | the time frame 1960-1966. (Communication attached) There was no indication in the January 22 communication from New York that documents or information about entries, other than the SWP entries, existed at New York. More particu- {| tariy. no indication was given that entry information existed after Mr. Hoover's July, 1966, instruction. The discovery of entries against the SWP during ythe period 1960 - 1966 was brought to the attention of the SWP plaintiffs; however, as those entries occurred prior to Mr. Hoover's termination of such activity and outside the Statute of Limitations, there was at that time no concern over amending our previously furnished statistics to the oe SSC and the HSC. The Department, in connection with its z handling of the SWP suit, was advised. -5- CONTINUED - OVER
