I'm sure you'll find it interesting.
2. The "Tactics" section (starting on p. 10) is, by-and-large, so
sophomoric that it's depressing. The first four recommendations, however,
increased education about CIA, public debate and dissension, questioning of
recruiters about CIA's purpose, attending classes related to intelligence --
actually are reasonable. Personally, I would urge anyone truly interested
in learning about the Agency to follow up on these suggestions. The list
quickly degenerates to the various types of harassment and physical violence
that appeals to intellectual dropouts, other misfits, and tantrum-throwing
adolescents.

INTRODUCTION
This manual is the culmination of a two-year anti-CIA
campaign on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. The CIA
has been a target of student protests since the 60s. The level
and intensity of anti-CIA protests has fluctuated in close
connection with disclosures and leaks concerning covert CIA
activities. The latest round of protests was spurred for the
most part by reports of the mining of Nicaraguan harbors by CIA
operatives and by the publishing of the CIA Contra Manual and
comic book. Large demonstrations confronting CIA recruiters
occurred at Tufts University, Brown, Penn State, Ann Arbor, UC-
Boulder, Madison and others in.the spring and fall of 1985.
The purpose of this manual is to share the information we
have gathered and to relate some of our experiences on campus.
It is aimed specifically at education and action against the CIA
on college campuses. The CIA manifests itself in a variety of
ways on our campuses:- recruitment of future CIA employees as
operatives and researchers, experimental research projects within
university departments, monitoring foreign students through
undercover professors, and spying on student activities.
This manual can serve only as a starting point or, addition
to your current campaign. The different climates and
circumstances on your campus and the current political climate
specifically rega?r_ding the CIA should temper and iqfluence your
tactics.
The CIA will continue to be controversial, and disgruntled
and disillusioned employees will continue to speak, but only
through diligent work can we expose the CIA for what it is. With
college campuses as a starting point, continued education and
agitation against CIA presence can lead to greater public
awareness of the role of this U.S. tool of intervention.
In Struggle,
Madison PSN

CHIGINS
The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was established in
June 1942 as the major intelligence organization of the United
States. Its mission was to collect and analyze strategic
information for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, although it also
engaged in propaganda and paramilitary operations. In October
1945, president Truman formally dissolved the OSS, but the need
for a postwar, centralized intelligence system was perceived by
governmental officials. Debates ensued concerning which
governmental department bureaus should control centralized
intelligence operations and whether intelligence authorities
should be civilian or military. In response to this policy
debate, the Central Intelligence Group (CIG) was established in
early 1946 and was directed to coordinate 'but not supplant
existing departmental intelligence services.
The CIG operated under the authority of the National
Intelligence Authority (NIA) which was composed of a presidential
representative and the secretaries of War, State and Navy. The
first director of the CIA was Navy Rear Admiral Sidney W. Sovers.
Postwar intelligence and military operations remained closely
linked.
The National Security Act of 1947, however, "dismantled the
NIA and its operating component, the CIG and established instead
the National Security Council and the present Central
Intelligence Agency. The 1947 act legislating the creation of an
independent intelligence operation underscored the perceived
importance of the range of ongoing intelligence activities. The
CIA was charged with coordinating the nation's intelligence
activities and correlating, evaluating and disseminating
intelligence which affects national security. The National
Security Act also made the CIA director responsible for 4
protecting intelligence sources and methods.
Supplemental. legislation, the Central Intelligence Act of
1949, expanded the shroud of secrecy over the CIA. Now the
agency was permitted to use confidential fiscal and
administrative procedures and was exempted from many of the usual
limitations on the expenditure of federal funds. Provisions of
the act allowed CIA funds to be included in the budgets of other
departments before being transferred to agency accounts, thus
authorizing budgetary secrecy. The 1949 act also served to
further protect intelligence sources and methods from disclosure
and public scrutiny by exempting the CIA from having to make
public knowledge its functions, officials, organizations,
salaries or numbers of personnel employed. These dramatic
increases in CIA budget allocations in the early 1950s quickly

Workers, Communications Workers, Newspaper Guild, and allegedly,
the United Auto Workers. CIA agents find cover jobs to work from
within unions. An "office employee" of a labor group made three
trips to Belize in 1963 to aid in the overthrow of-the Cheddi
Jugan government (Students for a Democratic Society Report).

for a few leaders at the top.

The CIA compiled at least 7,200 files on U.S. citizens and
entered at least 300.000 persons and organizations in a computer
file. At least 32 wire taps, 32 buggings and 12 break-ins were
implemented or carried out, none under judicial warrant (Center
for National Security Studies Report).

least 85% of the KCIA's (Korean CIA) activities in the U.S. are
"directed towards the intimidation of Korean residents in the

CIA: Secret Police of our Own
During the second World War, the Office of Strategic
Services (OSS) was the major intelligence organization in the
United States. Its mission was to collect and analyze strategic
information for the Joint Chiefs of Staff although it also
engaged in propaganda and paramilitary operations. On October 1,
1945, President Truman formally.dissolved the OSS but there
remained a strong sentiment that a postwar intelligence
capability was needed. This sentiment evolved into the National
Security Act of 1947 giving birth to the Central Intelligence
Agency. The congressional hearings and debate prior to passage
of the act reflected a concern expressed succinctly by Rep.
Clarence Brown (R-Ohio):
I am very much interested in seeing the United States
have as fine a-foreign military and naval intelli-
gence as they can possibly have, but I am not inter-
ested in setting up here in the United States any
particular central policy (sic) agency, under any
president, and I do not care what his name is, and
just allow him to have a gestapo of his own if he
wants to have it.
Accordingly, the act included a clause which stated the CIA
"shall have no police, subpeona, law enforcement powers. or
internal security functions."
However, it did not take long for the CIA to violate its
congressional charter. As early as 1953, the CIA engaged in
domestic spying. This was confirmed in 1975 by then-CIA director
William Colby in his response to an article published in the New
York Times (12/21/74) charging the CIA with orchestrating "a
massive, illegal domestic intelligence operation against the
anti-war movement and other dissident groups." Colby's report to
President Ford on December 26, 1974 confirmed that the CIA had
compiled files on at least 9,000 U.S. citizens, and that a mail
intercept program "was initiated in 1953" by the CIA. President
Ford responded with Executive Order #11828 which established a
commission on CIA activities within the United States. Known as
the Rockefeller Commission, its task was to determine the extent
of CIA spying within the U.S.
The commission included such notables as Nelson Rockefeller,.
Lane Kirkland and Ronald Reagan. The commission's report, issued
in June 1975 revealed information regarding "Operation Chaos, a
program established in 1967 by President Johnson. During the
operation, 7,200 files were compiled on U.S. citizens,-300,000

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/12/07: CIA-RDP89G00643R001000100033-9
persons and organizations were entered on computer files, 3,500
memorandums were prepared for internal CIA use, another 3,000 for
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and 37 such memorandums for
the White House. Moreover, the commission's report concluded
that its investigation on CIA activities within the U.S.
"discl.osed the use of 32 wire taps...32 instances of
bugging...and 12 break-ins...None of these activities was
conducted under judicial warrant."
CIA domestic surveillance has also been revealed through
court cases. The American Civil Liberties Union filed against
the CIA in 1972; the case revealed that from 1953 to 1973, the
CIA photographed the addresses of more than two million letters,
and opened more than 215,000 of them in New York City alone.
These activities by the CIA, which only comprise the tip of
the iceberg, were conducted during a period.when it was clearly a
violation to do so. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.-
On December 4, 1981 President Reagan issued Executive Order
#12333: United States Intelligence Activities. This order
authorized the entire intelligence community, including the CIA,
to infiltrate, manipulate and disrupt domestic organizations,
even in the absence of illegal activity. In addtion, the use of
electronic-and other means of surveillance are authorized,
without warrants, whenever deemed necessary. The effects of this
new policy have already been felt by people who have the nerve to
speak out against U.S. foreign policy in Latin America, or are
brash enough to provide sanctuary for refugees.
As the CIA continues to practice its bag of dirty tricks
against the American people, we begin to get an inkling of what
so many others in tbsis world have lived with and struggle
against. We must ask ourselves the question:
Has the CIA become Reagan's gestapo?

UvN 0 N A RGUMLN'1'S
In your campaign to educate people about CIA activities or
when soliciting the university administration to ban the CIA from
recrui.ting on campus, you will face a variety of arguments
supportive of the CIA or critical of the tactics you are using.
It is necessary that you be prepared to counter these arguments
with hard facts and sound reasoning. By anticipating the
opposition's argument you present a stronger case and are better
able to set the terms of the debate. Through a process of
systematically refuting counter-arguments, you gain ground while
educating the public about the true role and function of the CIA.
The following. is a short summary of,some of the arguments
for and against CIA activities, function and recruitment.
1. The activities of intelligence gathering are necessary for
the security of our nation. Our country has engaged in
intelligence activity since the earliest days of its founding.
The bulk of the activities of the CIA are benign. The covert
activities represent a small fraction of its total work.
2. The CIA is necessary to defend out country against the
influence of the KGB. The Soviets engage in espionage and for
the U.S. to limit this option would cripple seriously our global
influence and national security.
3. No branch of the federal government has even questioned the
legaiity of the CIA, despite what may have been legal or moral
infractions. The CIA is subject to congressional committee
review as well as that of the judiciary and executive branches of
government. The'proper route.for CIA reform is through this
system of "checks and balances" and through representatives in
th.e House and Senate.
4. Covert action is used as an alternative to more destructive
or costly options. Limiting covert actions will only force the
U.S. to use more overt actions, namely military intervention
leading to greater conflict and less success.

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/12/07: CIA-RDP89G00643R001000100033-9
The CIA on Campus
1. Placement services are valuable to students and enjoy
student-wide support. Our universities should not provide access
to some employers and then provide it to others on an arbitrary
basis. It is not possible to draw lines between acceptable and
unacceptable users.
2. We are bound by the principles of the First and Fourteenth
Amendments to allow the CIA to use our placement services. If we
open recruitment options to one employer, we must be open to all.
3. It is a student's First Amendment right to freely engage in
discussion with a CIA recruiter. This right should not be
abridged to suit the ideology of a minority.
4. The university or college campus is a source of the most
accurate and thoughtful information coming out on issues relating
to national security. It is only natural that the CIA should use
this resource.
5. College campuses produce the best and the brightest. The CIA
should have access to the best possible applicants so that the
organization, does not become second-rate. Rather than opposing
the CIA, we should fight for qualified and responsible personnel.
6. The CIA's presence on campus gives those who oppose its
actions a forum to educate the public. Removing the CIA from
campus would limit and stifle discussion and debate.
7. To be critical of the CIA is to be a Soviet dupe. Go back to
Russia. America -- love it or leave it.
This is a partial list of the arguments you will face. It
points to the preparation necessary in conducting an anti-CIA
campaign. It proves that one needs a sophisticated analysis of
the role of the CIA and the U.S. in the world. Without-an
overview of the role of the U.S. throughout the world, it is
impossible to argue against CIA presence on our campuses.

After even.a short perusual of the historical record, it
becomes all too obvious that the CIA is involved in many
objectionable and despicable activities throughout the world.
But what can you do against an international ring of high-tech
secret agents? The most important, and seemingly obvious, thing
any person can do is to educate oneself and learn the truth
behind the CIA. Simple (and cliched) as it may seem, this may be
the most effective tool against an institution that thrives on
secrecy, disinformation, and deceit. By educating oneself
and others, it will be possible to drag the CIA (and the mystic
surrounding it) out into the light where it can wither and die
like the vampire that it is.
There are many different tactics that can be used to
increase people's awareness of the reality behind the CIA and to
handle situations where you are confronted with one of the CIA's
many manifestations, such as on-campus recruitment. Through the
struggles of thousands of students and responsible citizens
world-wide against the CIA, and other perpetrators of injustice,
a variety of tactics have been developed. The following list,
which is by no means exhaustive, describes some of the myriad of
methods of action available to you to use against the CIA. Not
all of these will be appropriate for you, depending on the
specifics of your own community, and this list is meant more to
get your imagination flowing than to give you direction or
instructions.
* Again, educate yourself to be able to explain things to
friends, family, other students, etc.
* Publicly condemn CIA activities and abuses in contemporary
international affairs via individual vocal dissensions,
"letters to. the editor", newspaper articles, speeches, and
demonstrations.
* Confront and question administrators, recruiters,
recruitees, and the cops protecting them, about the CIA's
validity, value, and purpose.
* Check ROTC and other departments for classes related to
intelligence, the history of the CIA, and other aspects of
this issue. Attend these classes and LET YOUR VOICE BE
HEARD!

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/12/07: CIA-RDP89G00643R001000100033-9
* Distribute leaflets telling passers-by that killer spies are
recruiting in a nearby building (whether they are or not!)
Make 'em think a little.
* Distribute lots of leaflets explaining the CIA's activities
in other peoples'countries, its history and structure. the
purpose of recruitment, and the vital role of the University
in the CIA's operations.
* Research and expose the history of the CIA in the student
movement, on your campus, and in your city. (i.e. the Red
Squad, the University police, etc.)
* Expose known or past informants or accomplices within the
administration, Regents, faculty, and community.
* Expose research projects, their sponsors, and the
researchers involved that contribute to the CIA's efforts.
(Intelligence gathering technology, psychologytbrain-
washing, drugs like truth serums or LSD, high-tech
communications, weapons, and tools, etc.)
* Make appointments with recruiters in order to debate,
harass, andtor take up their time. This is also an
effective means for carrying out a citizens arrest of the
recruiter for violations of international law. If you can
get in to see the recruiter, try dumping blood or a cream
pie on him?her, or maybe handcuff the agent to a table or
yourself. Be Creative!
* Do a petition drive to obtain favorable resolutions against
current and future*recruiting or research from student
groups, the student government, faculty senate, and other
groups.
* Place "war crimes" and other dramatic posters at recruiting
sites. Possible ideas include photos of victims of the
Contras, assassinated foriegn leaders, Castro with an
exploding cigar, etc. SEE GRAPHICS SECTION FOR MORE IDEAS.
* Set up literature tables next to recruiting tables or
outside recruiting offices. This is a good idea.whether the
recruiters are from the CIA, Marines, DOW, or CE, and it

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/12/07: CIA-RDP89G00643R001000100033-9
gives you the opportunity to attempt to discourage potential
recruitees in a (hopefully) non-confrontational manner.
* Set up a mock recruitment table with glitzy literature that
says what a really great job it is to be a secret agent. The
travel! The adventure! The benefits! The senseless
slaughter of innocents!
* Write graffiti about the CIA on chalkboards, desks,
bathroom walls, buildings, etc.
* Picket recruiting areas. You can usually find out where
they'll be and they should never be allowed on campus
without some attempt at organizing a show of resistance at
the recruitment site.
Stage guerilla theatre operations like having one of your
comrades dress up and pretend to be a really right-wing
pro-CIA college republican so that the onlookers will see
how bad they are by example.
* On a more serious note, another guerilla theatre idea is the
mock "death-squad" abductiontassassination of a speaker-or
dissidents by masked "agents".
* Simulate CIA victims by stuffing dummies and hanging them
from trees, administration buildings, etc., with signs on
them that say "I was a Chilean coffee farmer who just- wanted
some land, until the CIA...".
* Have a silent, candlelit vigil for the victims of the CIA's
activities.
* Wear a sign on your back as you go about your business or
wear a button that makes a clear statement about the CIA.
Stand on a corner with a sign about the CIA and answer
questions.
* Hold teach-ins (a series if possible) before and-during

"prepare the ground", as it were, by making their presence
an issue of public debate. Teach-ins are also a good place
to suggest and discuss plans for action. (Discussion of
tactics, non-violence training, etc.)
* Hold a war crimes trial. These can be great guerilla
theater with a stage , legal paraphenalia, a wigged judge,
the prosecutor (the People), and a defendant dressed as an
agent. This can also serve as an educational tool since the
defendant will be able to show the arguments used to defend
the CIA, and then for the prosecutor to show how ridiculous
they are by shooting them with well-reasoned, persuasive
arguments and'simple statements of fact.
* War crimes trials are also a good forum for describing the
connections between the CIA and other groups both in the
university and world-wide -- for example, have a trial of
the CIA, Reagan, CBS, the Moral Majority, and Bob
"Blowtorch" D'Aubuisson, in Abstentia.-
* Hold speaking forums and rallies drawing sufficient numbers
into the recruiting area to indirectly stop or disrupt the
recruitment process.
* Hold non-obstructive sit-ins at recruiting sites, leaving a
pathway cleared for recruitees.
* Hold obstructive sit-ins at recruiting sites to actually
prevent recruiting. These can be passive, where the
recruitee or others can pass if they use force, or they can
be more active where recruitees or others using force to
pass will be.met with counter-force by those sitting-in.
* Hold obstructive or non-obstructive sit-ins at
administrations offices to pressure for the cancellation of
recruiting.
* Hold obstructive sit-ins around automobiles andtor campus
entrances to prevent recruiters andtor police from entering
or to prevent police cars or paddy wagons containing
arrestdd students from leaving.

* Tip over recruiting tables, or spill coffee, or sieze their
literature and leave.
* Remove recruiters andtor police from campus by force or
threat of. force.
* Organize a student strike until the administration stops
allowing the CIA to recruit on campus.
* Appeal to the Attorney General of your state to take action
to stop the criminal activities of the CIA and arrest them.
* Stage a Public Debate on the issue of free speech and the
CIA's right to recruit on campus. Invite them to send a
representative, and publicized it well, when they don't show
up,-say how that proves that they really aren't all that
interested in democracy and are a secretive organization.
When they don't show you can have one of your people dress up
like an agent and debate his side which will give you the
chance to show how ridiculous their arguments are.
* Call the recruitees the night before their appointment and
give them misinformation about the location, place, time,
etc.
* Throw smoke bombs, stink bombs, and burning cow manure .nto
the ventilation ducts at the recruitment site andtor at;the
recruiters.
* Create diversions that will draw police away from the
recruitment site. Be creative.
* Have a War Chest tour and march to different local
businesses and institutions that help the CIA or are similar
to them in some way.
Of course these are only a few of the possible types of action
you might feel it is appropriate to take on your campus. Judge
the situation in your own community as objectively as possible
and be careful when involved in activities of questionable
legality.

SC)r:1E EX.,. ACTIVITIES INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE MISSION OF C.U.
IN THE UNITED S1 ATES:
CIA COVERT OPERATION "MK-ULTRA". Carried out in the late 60's, it used (abused) unsuspecting faculty
and students in mind-bending experiments at several U.S. Universities.
OPERATION "CHAOS". Infiltration, surveillance and disruption of legitimate U.S. student organizations
exercising their constitutional rights o.f dissent in relation to the war in South East Asia. Mid-60's.
DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCIATION. The CIA infiltrated,
bank-rolled and controlled this organization from the 1950's until exposed in 1967, causing it to become
completely discredited and crippled. It was, at one time, one of the strongest and most respected student
organizations in the world.
' POISOMNG THE PRESS. The. CIA deliberately and systematically plants false stories in the foreign press in
order for them to be picked-up and published in the U.S. press unaware of its source and falsity. This has
seriously poisoned scholarly inquiry and research on a very broad range of subjects.
CIA ILLEGAL MAIL INTERCEPT PROGRAM. For decades, the CIA has intercepted the correspondence of
thousands of U.S. scientists and other scholars with their colleagues around the world, creating a chilling
effect on free inquiry and the scholarly exchange of information.
IN NICARAGUA:
THE CONTRA WAR. In direct violation of U.S. Law (Boland Ammendment), the CIA has trained, equipped and
directed mercenaries to engage in terrorist activities against the people of Nicaragua. Among those targeted
for attack have been literacy teachers and brigadistas (young volunteer instructors), university faculty
and students, health workers and clinics, child care centers and farm cooperatives. Of the 10,000
Nicaraguans killed since the CIA war was launched, HALF of those killed were children.
IN EL SALVADOR:
THE CL NS HAND IN THE DEATH SQUADS. The CIA founded ORDEN , the most notorious death squad In EI
Salvador. The CIA was actually was involved in setting-up and running the entire state security system,
which has been responsible for the assassination of over 50,000 persons since 1979, including thousands of
students and faculty. In 1980, the National University of El Salvador was attacked by the security forces,
closed down and converted into army barracks until this year, when it was re-opened. The University
suffered almost total destruction of its facilities, including the library, laboratories and classrooms. The
national teachers union, ANDES, has been subjected to the assassination of its leaders, the bombing of its
offices, and the tcrture and murder of hundreds of its members.
IN CHILE:
THECIASPCNSOREDOVERn-FIc WOFTI-IEDEMOCRATICALLYELECTED GOVEF'MENTOFSALVADOR
ALLENDE, 1973. The result: 30,000 killed in the first month, one million exiled. All freedoms and
democratic institutions abolished, including congress, the free press and political parties. All public
universities were closed and-then put under strict military rule. Faculties were purged. Thousands of
students were imprisoned. The curriculum in Social Sciences was decimated. Books were burned and banned.
The installed dictatorship continues to this day.
IN GUATEMALA:
- T -ECIAOZPCNSCRED OVERTFFIOWOFTHEDEMOCRATICALLY ELE(TfEDGOVFFfIVE VTOF,1ACOBO
ARBENZ, 1954. The result: hundreds of thousands of citizens, mostly indians, killed. Guatemala has
experienced a third of a century of un-interrupted military dictatorships, considered by Amnesty
International to be one of the worst offenders against human rights in the world. Half of the faculty of the
National University in Guatemala City have been murdered or driven into exile.
IN MEXICO:
THE CIA-ASSISTED TLALTELOLCO STUDENT MASSACRE, 1968. When a mighty student movement
erupted in Mexico in 1968, with demonstrations of over one million people in downtown Mexico City, the CIA
helped train the military unit, Brigada Olimpia , which attacked a large student rally in the Plaza of the
Three Cultures in Tialtelolco, Mexico City. Over 1000 students were killed, and many more were taken away
to clandestine prisons. The repercussions of this repression echoed throughout the entire country's
educational system.

EXCERPTS FROM:
" GENERAL t'UL1cY - USE OF UNIVERSITY FAn IILITIES - BOULDER CAMPUS 1979
Put li mm ni In Action .I.A.
(October 7, 1985)
(all italics are ours, not in original )
I.D. "...the University may grant use of its facilities...to...federal agencies... whose activites are
compatible with the broad educational mission of the University when such use does not
conflict with University programs."
OUR COMMENTARY:
Many Central Intelligence Agency activities are and have been incompatible with the broad educational
mission of the University and they conflict with University programs in many ways, including: illegal
infiltration, surveillance and harrassment of individual faculty and students and their organizations in the
United States and abroad; violation of academic freedom, freedom of speech and freedom of thought in the
U.S. and abroad; extreme violations of democratic, civil and human rights of faculty, staff and students in the
U.S. and abroad; murder, torture and rape of faculty, staff, students, scholars and administrators of high
schools and universities in many countries. The capacity of our faculty to research, to teach and to deepen
the scholarly knowledge has been brutally interfered with every time a reputable scholar anywhere in the
world and his or her work have fallen victim to CIA-directed, CIA-funded, violent operations. Many formerly
flourishing universities have been physically attacked, closed down, converted to barracks or put under
strict military control as a result of CIA activities4 violating the mission and life of these institutions. See
some cases on the reverse page.
VI. "Assuming responsability for the use of University Boulder Campus facilities includes
protecting the right of speakers to be heard , the rights of the University community to hear
speakers and the reputation of the University as a center of free speech and scholarly inquiry."
OUR COMMENTARY:
We absolutely support this rule; we respect all First Ammendment rights on our campus, including the
to hear speakers or be heard; -however, recruitment activities by an external agency, using Ur-,',.
facilites and services, is not a First Ammendment right, it is a privilege the University extends to external
agencies and persons; we do not question the right of the CIA, or any other agency or person to speak and be
heard at CU. However, we challenge the CIA's use of our institutional facilities to recruit people to
commit or help commit many well-documented crimes . We debate the CIA every year at the World
Affairs Conference and elsewhere. We think such debates provide the proper limit for CIA presence in our
campus.
IX.D. "University Boulder Campus facilities may not be used in ways which interfere with the
University's own teaching , research , administrative and service activities. Illustrative but
not definitive of such kinds of interference are the following:
1. Violence 2. Damage to property ... 5. Special events or scheduled programs which b
their nature would interfere with academic , administrative, or operational functions of the
University."
OUR COMMENTARY:
CIA covert activities are premeditated, many are illegal acts of violence. Many of its special operations have
perpetrated major property and human damage on entire nations. Many of its covert and overt programs, by
their nature, interfere with the academic functions, freedom of inquiry in teaching and research on this and
all other universities. See reverse page.
IX.G. "After a full hearing before the Committee on the Use of University Facilities... use of facilites
may be denied to individuals or organizations whose activities on this campus or
elsewhere have established a pattern of causing interference with University
activites property damage or personal injuries . "
OUR COMMENTARY:
Many CIA activities demonstrate an established pattern of causing interference with this and other
universities' activities, and have caused massive property damage and personal injuries. Readily available
documents lists some of these activites. The CIA today constitutes a clear and present danger to inumerable
educational institutions around the world. See reverse page.
