104-10063-10285: BLACK POWER AND STUDENT UNREST.
11/04/69: Dispatch from COS, Ottawa to Chief, WOMUSE (Info: Chief, European Division): "1. As you will note in paragraph 7 of the Reference, we asked SMABOVE to give us compiled information that they have on various MHCHAOS (Program to gather and evaluate all available information about foreign links to racial, anti-war and other protest activity in the United States) targets. At the time they said that these contained their own internal source information and could not be passed. They promised, however, to furnish us the same material in a form that could be passed. The attached two books entitled 'The Black Power Movement in Canada' and 'Unrest in the Academic Community (Canada)' were recently passed to us in response to this request. 2. From cursory review of the material it appears that some of it is already known to you. Some is overt information while other items reflect results of SMABOVE investigations and thorough checking. We are also attaching SMABOVE's letter of transmittal which updates some of the information. You will note that they invite our comments. 3. We feel that this is somewhat of a break through with SMABOVE. We have not received this kind of complete report from them recently. We intend very soon to offer some comments to them and especially offer our appreciation. Your comments also would be appreciated. 4. We do not know for sure if LNERGO (FBI) was also given these books. We assume they were not. If we determine that they were passed to LNERGO we will let you known. (Signature) Theodore D. Noltham." - - - 2022 release: https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2022/104-10063-10285.pdf
