Dear Mr. Hoover:
...
....
Several of mycconstituents have express~ alarm and concern over th~ publication of ~he~archist Cookbook b~ William~qwell, a student at Windham·
\College, Putney, Ver.mor,t. The attached article
·explains in more detail' e contents of the book.
I have not·~ se·en the book ·myself~- u apparen~ly
the reviews have -caused quite a controversy;· I
!would appreciate your having someone on your st~ff provide me with a little background material on the book and its author which I ·could pass along to my constituents. I am a~so interested in what laut···hority the Federal Government has in this ~hoJ.e matter~
(Thanks and all good wishes.

Aft~r covering the importance of the application of
l these weapons, Powell states that if youngsters between 12 and 16 years adopted such weapons and tactics they would be the mo~t potenti~lly dangerous .force in America because of thei~ energy, co~rage, blind cruelty, and lack of a concept of death. He failed to mention What horrendous effect such information could have on militant black extremists!

garrote ope of the most effective. It can be made with t-.;qo pieces of wood and piano wire and is an "ultra-effective device for beheading peopl~.u

effectiveness of bows and ar;ows, recommending the cross bow as the more effective weapon.
To counter~ct chemicals developed for pplice use in

On pag~ zz;·part of'the prefatory note~ P.M. Bergman,~ stat~s that "agent ·,provocateurism~~' is nowhere so extensively pract;ced as_in the ijnited ~tates.

On page 63~ discussing electronic bugging device~: Pofell states that private industry and practically all governmental ~gencies "(not only the FBI and CIA)" have been employing . electronic bugging devices for years with "fantastic success. 11

On page 65, discussing telephone taps, Powell says that undercover cops a~d FBI men Who infiltrate activist groups are far more dangerous. Comparing undercover cops,, and FBI men he states that the c9ps have beards but short hair, which does not apply to Fa::r ~rt. __ He states FBI men are usually on the job for much longer periods and are able more fully to doh their disguises. He cites tactics used during the revolution in Ireland whereby the Irish Republican Army ki~led two B~itish ciyilians for every Irish Jarmer·kil~~d by the British. The only way to stop terrorism, he states, is by showing that two can play at the same game.
On page 71, P9well cite~ the la~. passed ~onc~;ning electronic surveill~ce. However, he says, the ~BI, CIA, all Government agencies, and local police have free license to practice all and any forms of surveillance without any restrictions.

The results of our inquiries are furnished"to the. Department o~ Justice which bas the -responsibility for .determining"--whether· pro~;rutt~.>n is warran~ed in th~se .matters. :·

~me t.lblarcblst Cookbook, by wu. Ham PowelllLyle.Stuart, 1~0 pp., $12,.pa/Jerback $5.95). In the view b( SR's ·edit6rs, this book representS the starkest example of irre$Ponsible. publishing to come to our attention since the Saturday Revieiv was founded in 1924. This book, -tUite literally, is a manual for mt.h tier. It provides specific in·
: formatui,dor the home manufac·ture of {YiJ11bs, grenades, and other devices ,for killing and maimbig people. '!'hough obviously intended to appeal to the supposed revolu· tionacy bent of young people, even in its . own terms The Anarclzist Cookbook has badly misjudged, the .temper of its ·primary audience. There has been a sharp swing away from violence and extrenlism in ~he .mood of young Americans just in the past six months. But 'this is apart from the main point .. The main point is that the book is a contemptible eXample of the mis·
~ccess .to .the. public prints. profession has its venal and
twisted mentalities: 'it is not to be held against American publisliers that this particular publisher should have put himself and his firm in such disgrace.

In considering material suitable for distributio~nn-------~ to P(!lice Officials attending conference beginning \-IDC ~:.. 6/7/71, sugges~n has been made that copies of our booktreviel·T on "The\..j(narchist Cookbool~" be printed and given to these officials. The book review originally ~~itten .for the Director's inforn1ation has been revised to eliminate material prepared for internal FBI information and use. , - '
You will recall that "The .. .:\narchist Cookbook, u
published by Lyle Stuart, Inc., has been lfidely publicized and is available on newsstands and bookstores everywhere. It ~s dedicated to anarchists and has one ch~pter dealing 1·7ith t7eapons and on emphasis on killing. Another chapter instructs in the use of explosives.
Because of the detailed instructions set forth in th~~_y.se gf· weapons ap.d lu~;.g g~sc:;;p;!Qns Q; m~th~ds to kill with lcnives, garrotes and bare hands, it is believed that the existence of this book should be pointed' out to police officers. S~ch material falling into ~he hands of immature youths, anarchists, ex.t-rem~sYPoailo/G'.:r;-~..., others 1dth anti-social attitudes, could stimulate o ;r RECO r-trigger vicious attacks on law enforcement ~office:r;-se. b 6

Reference is made to your letterhead me,morandum March 15,1!~ 71, Albany, New York, and captioned ~~~~~~g~ Cookbook - anual for Revol1lj;;iona:t:y...;Extremisi:n11 , -;;
previ~co.r~sponcteriCe-on this subject designed to whether the distributio~ and publication of the above tioned material constituted any violation of Federal law.
According to 1xour memorandum of March 15, 1~71, from Albany, William R.VPowell, whose name appears- as author
~ the CookBook, was then a 1irst year student at Windham :-; Ccfil,lege, Putney, Vermont. He had been in that area
siice- September 1970 and· was unknown- to ·the· sheriff Oo oe,n¢r law enforcement offi~ials. A memorandum from the ~ BUEeau, dated March 9, 1971 at Albany, reported that Ppwel1 ~ h~~ a meeting on campus on March 3, 1971 for the obyious s:; F-rpose of promoting The Anarchist Cookbook. There wafi no ·. t: ~~ndication that Powell or anyone else, either at this ~eet-
;!.ng or any other time, used the book or urged use of th~?. in-. formation contai~ed therein for unlawful purposes. According to a New York letterhead memorandum from the Bureau, dated f.larch 11, 1971, both "Powell and Lyle Stuart, the publisli~r. ~t a press conference held at the Hotel Americana in New· York City, reported· in the February 25, 1971 edition of the Villa e Voice, a daily New York City newspaper, defended Fhe Cookbook on the grounds, that it was not intended for ~xt~emi~t groups, who already had access to the informa~~·~u·
·~tintaine"d· in it, but rather that it was for individuals who felt the need to be able to defend themselv~s against the 1 Goverrunent 1 s "Big Brother11 antics·. Also present at the ~ p e s con~~rence, according to the Village Voice article,

We have studied the contents of the book itself~ as well as the information contained in the Bureau reports under the po~ntia~y ae?licable statutes, including 18 U.S.C. Section 1461, 1717, 231, 2101~2512r'and 841-842.~
On the basis of this review we have cqncluded that the pook does not urge "forcible resistance to any law of the
. pnited States" as required to constitute a violation of , :j.8 U,S,C. Section 1717. It. does not incite 11arson, murder,
' br assassinatiorl' as required under 18 u.s.c. Section 1461. We cannot establish intent,necessary-under 18 u.s.c. Section 131, i.e., teaching or demonstrating the use, application or maki!'lg of firearms, explosives or incendiary device "knowing or having reason to know or intending that the same will be unlawfully employed for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder which may in any way obstruct, delay, or adversely affect commerce or the performance of any Federal protected function. ·
In addition, in our op1n1on there is· insufficient ~videnc~~o prove that .the author or anyone .else used the pook as a guideline whil~ traveling in interstate commerce with intent either to incite a riot, or to organize, promote, ~ncourage, participate in, or carry on a riot, or to commit ~ny act of violence in furtherance of a riot or to aid or -~bet any person inciting or participating in or carrying on ~riot o~ committing any act of violence in furtherance' of a riot in violat-ion of 18 U,S,C. Section 2101. Nor does the material contained in The Cookbook constitute an 11adyertisement11
placed in a publication to promote the use of. a wire~or ora+ communication intercepting device, as prohibited by ~8 u.s.a . . Section 2512. Finally, the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Section 841-842, covering the importation, manufacturing, distribution, and storage of explosives materials, have not been violated, inasmuch as the author does not offer to manufacture the explosive device himself although he does submit for consideration fecipes for nearly every type of explosive mentioned i~ the statute,
