Re: Action Cable #892)+-A -- Disposal of Array Docu?r.ent.
Action:
Extensive checking throughout the Agency has not found the
recipients of the subject Army documents. This Cable requests
action in Para 2: "Request that the Basic Documents and Changes
be destroyed and a Certificate of Destruction covering all
copies ... be submitted to ... Department of Army Attn: ACSI-8:."
Until the Agency finds the documents, which it may or may not
have received, we cannot send a destruction Certification to the
Army. I suggest this Cable be sent to Office of Security for
Action. I spoke with in the Security Executive
Staff and he said he -would qo into the matter if I would send
him a copy of the Cable.
Background:
1. In January 1970 a publication "Washington Monthly" had
an article by Christopher Pyle, a former Army intelligence
employee, concerning records at Fort Holabird on Civil disturbances
and individuals involved. In March 1970, "Time Magazine" had a
major article about the Armed Forces spying on U.S. citizens with
a Fort Holabird computer. The American Civil Liberties Union
and Congress became interested and inquired into the matter.
2. The attached Cable is from the Army and requests disposal
of two volumes they published --- (1) Civil Disturbances and
Dissidence; Cities and Organizations of Interest, (2) Personalities
of Interest. There were 6 changes to the publications disseminated
between 7 May 1968 and 15 October 1969. The attached Cable states
its addressees received those documents. No one here has seen them.
3. I have checked in vain with the following Agency Components
which might have these recent documents if they came to this Agency:
Emergency Planning Office, SSS
Magazine Building
Security Operations Division

4. I feel that this Cable was processed through the Agency
Cable system whereas the documents in question were processed
through the mail system and the two systems are guided by different
minds, priorities, and interpretations. I suggest we close this
case in SSS.
Security for your consideration.
