[574]The State Department advised that on 1/10/63, March Schleifer,
[575]an American Marxist and journalist, provided information pertaining
[576]to the formation of "Revolutionary Africa (RA)", a magazine which was
[577]an organ of the Politbureau in Algeria. The editor of the English
[578]language section was to be Richard Gibson. Schleifer had worked with
[579]Gibson in the FPCC movement but had lost some of his confidence in
[580]Gibson as a true revolutionary after the latter "jumped" at a bureaucratic
[581]position with the Politbureau, Schleifer had lived with Gibson in
[582]Algiers and regarded him as the same type of man that Djtlas (not
[583]further identified) had denounced in "The New Class" (not further
[584]identified). Gibson's position with the Maspero (not further identified)
[585]group, and thus the FLN (not further identified), predated his a
[586]involvement in Cuban affairs. Schleifer pointed out that long before
[587]the Cuban revolution, Gibson had been working in France with the French”
[588]"eo-Marxist" left. He had considerable editorial ability and should
[589]have been an asset to "Ra".

[1378], In accordance with your. request, the following
[1379]comments on and evaluations relating to the. validity and
[1380]usefulness of the information in the reports are set forth:
[1382]1. Sugar's recent presence in the United States
[1383]was reported by two sources of this Bureau. These sources
[1384]expressed no suspicions relating to his activity or cover,
[1386]4
[1387]F,
[1388]f
[1389]i
[1392]i
[1394]distortions noted were in accord with existing. rumor or “talks
[1395]within domestic movement circles. — ;
[1397]2. Based upon preliminary review, the information
[1398]provided by Sugar appears accurate and generally conforms to
[1399]information independently reported. by our sources. Slight
[1401]oe
[1403]ay
[1405]3. The information. provided by Sugar is considered
[1406]of good intelligence value, but not in itself of high or
[1407]exceptional value. It confirms and supports information
[1408]developed by Bureau sources and in several instances provides
[1409]current assessments and useful investigative leads.
[1413]icfinite
[1414]CEB, ae
[1417]4, Sugar's obvious close association with Richard
[1418]Ward (indicated in reports S-52 and S~56) would appear to offer
[1419]him an opportunity to establish a stringer relationship with |
[1420]the weekly New York City left-oriented “Guardian,” in the an
[1421]event this is in accord with the projection of his cover,
[1422]Ward, in spite of criticism of the "Guardian," continues to
[1423]be included as a staff member in the publication's masthead

[1465]Ward and Wilfred Burchette (current "Guardian" Paris repre-
[1466]sentative) have obvious close contacts with the Democratic , ~:
[1467]Republic of North Vietnam representation in Paris and would ||
[1468]appear to be in a position to provide an entree for Sugar
[1469]to the North Vietnamese,
[1471]5.: The detailed information furnished by Sugar
[1472]relating to Ward (report 8-56) suggests Ward as a likely
[1473]| eandidate for approach. Our files indicate Sugar has been
[1474]acquainted with Ward since 1967. We would very much appreciate
[1475]receiving a current personality assessment of Ward by Sugar.
[1477]y
[1479]Your interest in referring the reports of Sugar to S
[1480]this Bureau is appreciated.
[1484]Sugar is CIA eryptonym for Richard Gibson who operates
[1485]in behalf of CIA from London, furnishing coverage of European
[1486]_and Third World New Left and black extremists. The 29 reports
[1487]furnished by the Agency on 10/29/70 covering Sugar's contacts
[1488]while in the U.S. from 9/24-10/11/70 have been disseminated to;- | -
[1489]appropriate field offices and Bureau files by Bulet 11/9/70, -

[1494]Richard. Ward is included on the Security Index of
[1495]the New York Office and he is a current staff member of the
[1496]"Guardian!' He was in contact with the North Vietnamese
[1497]Diplomatic Mission in Paris in 5/70 and traveled thereafter
[1499]to Hanoi and Laos for a five-week visit. According to the i
[1500]» information made available by Sugar, Ward is critical of the *\
[1502]"Guardian," the Soviets, and members of the New Left in this | ~
[1504]country. He is currently doing research on a book about
[1506]American-Vietnamese relations and he claims this book will be,
[1507]scholarly, other than a propaganda piece. Based upon a current,
[1508]assessment of Ward by the Agency, we will consider interviewing.

[2116]Dear Herb and Comrades,
[2118]Just a hasty note to-let you know that René and
[2119]Gilbert have recently returned from Amman with news
[2120]about the Mesperately critical situation there. Never-~
[2121]theless, we believe the situation is excellent for the
[2122]revolutionary forces, despite the seemingly crushing
[2123]weight of the reactionary, imperialist forces.
[2125]Throughout Eurépe, initiatives are being made
[2126]by comrades, especially in regard to Arab embassies,
[2127]needling them or coaxing them to show solidarity with
[2128]the Palestinians or demonstrating against the most
[2129]reactionary (e.g. the Jordan Embassy here was occupied
[2130]by students yesterday). Cables, letters and personal
[2131]calls ave being made to Arab governments and their
[2132]Giplomats throughout Europe, and the Iraqi and Syrians
[2133]shamed for their inactivity, Gespite all thelr past
[2134]verbal support of the Paiestinian Revolution. I% would
[2135]be especially useful for you .comrades in the States to
[2136]inform René and me of any activity that you are engaged
[2137]in on Palestine and please send us for republication
[2138]texts of any statements, cables, etc.
[2140]Manu and Diane send-you fraternai greetings. They
[2141]are now married, by the way, and await reinforcement in
[2142]the revolutionary ranks in December.
[2144]. There is a possibility I might make it to the States
[2146]sometime this fall. If so, T.will try to come to Chicago
[2148]to give you a first-hand report on the situation in these
[2149]. parts, as well as the Middie' East... ,

[2683]It is noted in December, 1969, Leibel Bergman, the
[2684]theoretical leader of the militant Maoist San Francisco-based
[2685]Revolutionary Union, according toa source who has furnished
[2686]reliable information in the past, indicated shortly after
[2687]meeting Gibson he distrusted him because of Gibson's reputed

[2690]{and the former paramour of Gibson), defended Gibson, repeatedly’
[2691]stating the charges against him were unfounded and the “same vv

[2712]i970, Bergman commented that during his travel the previous
[2713]month abroad, he had met with Gibson in Londen and stayed
[2714]overnight at the Gibson residence. At this time, Bergman .
[2716]r stated he found Gibson to be charming, likable, sophisticated,
[2718]I intelligent, but hung-up on a feeling of self-importance.
[2720]RG) Bergnan described Gibson as doing "good work," but stated
[2722]i) SZ Gibson is not as important as he believes (6)

[3688]for entry into Switzerland during the week instead of the
[3689]weekend, he might have been authorized limited entry.
[3690]According to this officer, the: subject should write to the
[3691]Bundesanwaltschaft in Bern concerning the incident at Brig
[3692]and request that he be furnished a reason for it. He would

[3696]to appeal the decision within 30 days. SS
[3698]As' stated in the above communication, subject's
[3699]wife affirmed that the subject had made several trips to

[3941]In view of this latest development, it is most strongly
[3942]urged that the Bureau, through liaison, have CIA interview "SUGAR" .
[3943]specifically concerning the following points: —
[3945](1). Any and all knowledge "SUGAR" has So
[3946]- eoncerning activities and contacts of ; :
[3947]HOWARD BRUCE FRANKLIN while the latter. f
[3948]was in France. ot
[3950](2) Any and all knowledge of DAVIDA
[3951]FINEMAN.: In this connection, it is
[3952]suggested that CIA be requested to
[3953]encourage correspondence between "SUGAR"
[3954]and FINEMAN. oo
[3956]~-. (3) -"SuGaR" furnish CIA with all corre-
[3957]ns - spondence to. and from the RU and that
[3958]"SUGAR" be directed in a logical way to
[3959]encourage such correspondence with the RU.
[3961]In view of LEIBEL BERGMAN 's. admitted difficulties over
[3962]communications with Red China and lack of knowledge of current.
[3963]events in that country, it is believed that if "SUGAR" can :
[3964]favorably establish himself with the RU as a contact in Europe
[3965]he will be able to furnish valuable information on any other
[3966]contacts the RU may attempt to establish on the Continent and
[3967]might even be utilized as a cutout by BERGMAN for the RU.-
[3969]on
[3971]In view of the delicate nature of the information
[3972]contained in the LHM, the Bureau may wish to restrict dissemi -
[3974]nation to. CIA. only.
[3976]a In referring the above ‘requests to CIA, the Bureau , ¢
[3977]should insure the bona fides of "SUGAR" as a CIA operative and
[3978]his reliability ‘lest SF 3169-S be compromised. a . ~

[3999]INFORMATION CONCERNING .
[4001]In June, 1969, . a "confidential source, who has. furnished { °
[4003]reliable. information in the past, advised that at an. Executive
[4004]Committee meeting of the. Revolutionary Union (RU) held on June ‘8,.
[4005]1969, DAVIDA FINEMAN read a letter which she had. received from
[4006]RICHARD GIBSON, whom she described as a Negro who ‘resides: in. .
[4007]Europe and whom she knew while she was in France. This letter ~- CG.
[4008]‘Was a. run-down on the. Marxist-Leninist-Mao. groups in various © >
[4009]countries in Europe and described some of’ these groups as
[4010]revisionists who support the new working. class, e. g. technicians |
[4011]and other highly skilled labor, and support a broad tinited front |
[4012]which would include various members of the pourgeoise.
[4014]“According to this source, BRUCE FRANKLIN in no uncertain
[4015]' terms described GIBSON as a CIA agent who was exposed as:such _
[4017]. and had to flee France lest he be killed. - FRANKLIN stated that x
[4018]he had proof -of GIBSON's affiliation ‘with: CIA. LEIBEL BERGMAN, --
[4019]“on the other -hand, stated in'’no uncertain terms’ that BRUCE
[4020]FRANKLIN's allegation. was. completely untrue and that GIBSON ve ‘
[4022]‘had been thoroughly checked out when BERGMAN, himself, was in ~~ G |
[4024]_ Red. China and had been found to be all. right. BRUCE FRANKLIN = |
[4025]- continued the ‘argument by stating that he could prove that —
[4027]GIBSON was a CIA agent ‘because some friends of his in France —
[4028]had been exposed. and arrested shortly | after their introduction
[4029]to. GIBSON. ; 7 So ; |
[4031], At ‘the Executive Committee meeting, it was decided a :
[4032]that LEIBEL ‘BERGMAN and the FRANKLINS ‘were to iron out.their 5 Jd
[4034]differences .about .GIBSON we amongst. themselves and it was |. , De

[4329]According to SF 3169-S, one DAVIDA FINEMAN ; is ‘gurrentl -
[4331]jak -F sofa
[4334]CG 100-41353
[4336]a Referenced communications concerning RICHARD GIBSON
[4337]reflect that in 1966 former CG 5908-S, when in contact with
[4338]pro-Chinese communists in Italy, was apprised of the suspicion
[4339]of the Italians concerning RICHARD GIBSON, specifically that he
[4340]was a CIA agent. In connection with their suspicions, the
[4342]. Italians requested the informant to check on one DAVIDA TINEMAN,
[4344]‘who was ostensibly traveling with GIBSON as a translator. it ,
[4345]was subsequently learned that FINEMAN was residing in Paris - }.
[4346]at that time but had been a resident of New York City.
[4348]Referenced communications from New York and Los Angeles
[4349]concerning FINEMAN identify her background, Chicago has no
[4350]additional information concerning this person and does not,
[4352]in fact; have sufficient, knowledge to determine whether the
[4353]person traveling with GIBSON in Europe in 1966 is identical with
[4354]the DAVIDA FINEMAN who has emergéd: as part of the Revolutionary
[4355]Union. ©
[4357]The Bureau and Los Angeles are requested to furnish re ene
[4358]to San Francisco any information which would assist in effecting
[4359]an identification of this person, it. being believed by Chicago . jf.
[4361]. that the definite possibility exists that the person traveling
[4362]with GIBSON is in fact identical with the current member of the _
[4363]“Revolutionary Union. “
[4365]Chicago would desire to Imow when FINEMAN returned
[4366]to the United States and if she has any recorded activities
[4367]‘within left wing movements since returning, It would seem: ;
[4368]that her emergence in the Revolutionary Union is highly en od
[4369]suspect in view of the. probability of her former association
[4370]with GIBSON, AS GIBSON's identify is known to the Bureau and
[4371]' the interested office, it would seem that the implications
[4372]of a CIA operation are clearly apparent.
[4374]In this connection, San Francisco letter of 10/30/68
[4375]reflects that- HODEE EDWARDS has apparently returned to the Unite
[4376]States from England and San Francisco is presently attempting 2
[4377]to verify hér residence, In connection with EDWARDS, it will °° Co
[4378]be recalled thathe had written to the Ad Hoc Committee while .
[4380]a house guest of RICHARD GIBSON.in London concerning some
[4381]theoretical aspects of pro-Chinese ideology and that GIBSON, .

[4501]. Please forgive ray Sioned sin! answering your letter
[4502]of February 12. Much has been happening here, not all of

[4505]that the snarpening recial.and class .contradictions in |
[4506]. Britain -- and elsewnere in Hurope -- in recent weeks will
[4507]' provide an excellent situation in which Marxist-Leninists
[4509]can work moe vigorously than in the past here. But there
[4511]still remain many other internal contradictions, personality
[4513]eonrlicts, distorted reflections of the Cultural Revolution,
[4515]etc. that must be-.resolved. I wish I could write in greater
[4517]detail, but I am certain you. understa nd, with your experience,
[4519]Par more than I do. ;
[4521]concerning "Comrade" Laski, nothing further has been
[4522]heard of him since he left nere for Paris. His great com-,
[4523]rade here, dike Baker, who published a huge interview with
[4524]Laski. in his publication, Red Front, also. took to attacking
[4525]what he now calls "Mao's ultra-Leré clique." Whether Laski
[4526]approves of Baker's new anti-Mao line, I cannot say, but
[4527]birds of a feather do flock together... ron
[4530]The person living with me that you mentioned in your ,;
