Documents / FOIA release
This is a letter the FBI sent Michael Best on May 11, 2017, answering FOIA request 1347908-000 about Fred Lee Crisman. It releases 9 pages after consulting the CIA. The release includes a March 10, 1970 Seattle FBI memo calling Crisman a scoundrel and doubting that he had any CIA tie. It also includes an anonymous file claiming Crisman was a CIA "Disruption Agent" and a March 1970 FBI transmittal passing that material to the CIA.
