Memorandum for. Mr. Boardman. documentation is public source mnterial, it is believed that the. practice of referring to and documenting the AcLu in reports is undesirable." Bufiles fail to reflect that the field has ever been instructed not to refer to or document AcLu; consequently, the report in question is not incorrect. Copies of rerep were disseminated locally per instructions relating to investigations Of Communist front organizations contained in Section 87s of the Manual of Instructions. To have Newark submit amended pages to this report deleting this information would also require Newark Y to write each local agency which received a copy of the report advising that agency to delete the data. It is believed this should not be done. Present Bureau policy precludes the forward- ing of amended pages to outside agencies for insertion in report' disseminated (sAc~Letter 55-23 (b), 3/16/55.) It is believed desirable at this time to instruct the field that membership in, reference to. or documentation of the AcLu should not be included in investigative reports, except as noted abcve relating to the Los Angeles Chapter. Accordingly there is attached an sAc Letter so instructing.. RECOMMENDATIONS: l. That the. afore-mentioned Newark report remain as is. If you approve, this memorandum should be returned to Superviscr J. H. Kleinkauf, Room l7o4, for appropriate dissemination of the . report. 2. That the attached sAc Letter be approved and. transmitted to the field.. 3. That this memorandum be routed to Assistant to the. Director L. B. Nichols for his comments..
