Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency cable, dated 10 May 1969, reports on a 7 May visit to a university in connection with an agency research contract. The officer reviewed contract files and destroyed two memoranda naming the sponsor, and noted that several university officials had been briefed and would support the arrangement. It also describes SDS and Brown Beret chapters on campus and a contingency plan to announce that research would move off campus to a new foundation-owned building. It adds that the files had been purged of incriminating material.
