AND SIGNED
National Lawyers Guild is an organization
of lawyers, law students and non-professional
youth working for radical change of the
social, economic and.judicial systems in
the United States. The CPUSA no longer has
any influence over the NLG.
The letters all stated that the Symbionese
Liberation Army (SLA) did not die in vain and that six law
makers must pay with their lives. The letters were written
in cursive, were pporly written and were grammatically
incorrect. The envelopes contained a postmark dated.May 23,
1974, at'Towa 500.? Inquiry at the Des Moines, Iowa, Post
Office disclosed that letters bearing ?Iowa 500? postmark
. could have been mailed at any of 200 small town post offices
in Central Iowa as well as Des Moines, Iowa. The letters
were forwarded to the Laboratory of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), Washington, D. C., for examination.
The FBI Laboratory reported that characteristics observed
determined ?hat the on stioned writing on the SLA letter
received by Polk County Attorney, was probably 136 ?2
prepared.by the writer of comparable portions of other jb7C -2
letters previously submitted; although, due to the lack
of sufficiently comparable writing, a definite conclusion
was not reached in that regard. Examination of the letters
by the FBI Laboratory failed to disclose indented writing
of value, watermarks or other characteristics that would
aid in identifying the source of the letters.
Sources who have furnished reliable information

POLK COUNTY ATTORNEY b7C3"?2
DES NOINES, IOWA
CAPTIONED NOINES
AND SIGNED
This case was discussed with Allen Lee Donielson,
United.States Attorney, Southern District of Iowa, Des Moines,
Iowa, on June 4 and 11, 1974. United States Attorney
Donielson advised that in his opinion, this matter did
not warrant prosecution because the letters do not appear
to be serious threats, the ability on the part of the
writer to carry out the threat seems remote and the letters
are more in the nature of remarks by an irate citizen
voicing complaints about the Government in general.
The following is a copy of the letter received. 136 "2

This letter is something I don't think should be taken too
seriously, but it is a threat since they are wanting to
kill all the FBI and say ?we'll kill Billy Graham". 3 3
I'm sending you this letter for whatever purpuse you might i? i
decide. I'm sure you get thousands of letters like this a
but just felt that I should call this to your attention.
5am.
Thanks a million.

Re Bureau airtel to graha, AleXandria, Charlotte,
Los Angeles and WFO dated 3454 5; and Bureau letter (Lab
Report) to Omaha dated,3/ copies to Alexandria, Charlotte,
Los Angeles, New York an
Enclosed herewith for the Bureau is a three-page]36 -1 3
letter and the envelope in which it was received. 3
For the information of the Bureau, I
was interviewe at the FBI Resident Agency, Des Moines,
Iowa, on 3/24/75, by SA at which time
she admitted writing the letter to captioned individuals
and further admitted writing several letters in the past.
The FBI Laboratory has conducted previous laboratory.
examinations relative to captioned case under Laboratory number
The letter enclosed herewith for the Bureau was
received at the FBI Resident 136 _3
4/1/75, and obvi uslv. is signed bv :b7C _3
apartment number Des Moines, Iowa.
The letter contains no apparent threat of bodily injury to
any individual, but examination of the letter reflects it is
of the same type previously received relative to captioned
violation.
U. S. District Court Judge WILLIAM C. HANSON
SDI Des Moines, Iowa, was interviewed by SA
at his office in Des Moines subsequent to his
return from Kansas City, Missouri. Judge HANSON stated that
b6 ?l
b7C

FBI
OM 9-1622
he did in fact recently receive a letter threatening his
life and the lives of numerous other individuals and he feels
it is entirely possible he received the original of that
letter.
Judge HANSON deemed the letter to have been written
by a mentally?disturbed person and he paid it little heed,
noting that he has received letters in the past from
individuals considered by him to be mentally unbalanced.
He was, however, concerned because the letter
threatened not only his life, but also the lives of "5
numerous other individuals. He turned the original
of the letter over to] Security Officer,
U. 8. District Court, Kansas City, Missouri. b6
b7C ?l,3,5
SAI I U. S. Secret Service, Des Moines,
Iowa, has advised 8A1 that his agency is aware of the
identity ofl as the individual who wrote letters
in captioned case and previous similar matters.
He commented that he has interviewed her in the 136 _1
past, previous to the date he assisted b7C3-?l
interviewing her, and he is definitely of the opinion that
she is mentally unstable.
The facts of this matter have been discussed
with ELLEN LEE DONIELSON, USA, SDI, Des Moines, who has b5 ?3
indicated that he would not consider prosecution ll7C ?3
relative to the letter she wrote in captioned
investigation or letters she has written as mentioned in
previous investigations. He further indicated that he would
not authorize prosecution of Ifor letters she
might write in the future and he is definitely of the opinion,
through close scrutiny of the letters, that]
is victim of some type of mental aberration and, in Mr.
opinion, the facts contain nothing which would
demand further investigation relative to] I

review of enclosed letter makes it readily apparent that

18 the 1nd1v1dual who wrote the letter in
captioned matter and in previous matters and even though
Ihas admitted writing the letters, it is requested
of the FBI Laboratory to make an examination of enclosed letter
and compare it to previous letters to positively establish her
identity as the individual who haS'written the letters. It
is anticipated, even though interview,
cautioned her against the writing of future letters, that
she will continue to write threatening letters and it is
felt necessary that it be positively established that she
is the person who wrote the letters. It will, thereafter,
be possible for future investigations to be very easily
handled as it is felt there will be apparent similar letters
from: and the USA, SDI, Des Moines, has issued
a blanket declination relative to letters written by her.
The FBI Laboratory is requested to campare hand-
writing of enclosed three-page letter'with previous handwriting
received relative to captioned investigation and previous
investigations, as mentioned in Bureau Laboratory Report
to Omaha dated 3/12/75, and to advise Omaha and interested
offices of results of the examination. The Laboratory, upon
receipt of same from the Kansas City Division, will also
conduct similar investigation relative to the original of a
letter received by U. S. District Court Judge WILLIAM C.
HANSON.

recently again became of interest to 136 ?3
but by means of a letter referred to Omaha by WFO, b7C3??3

No further action necessary at this time.
The facts of the anonymous letter received at
FBI Headquarters, dated 3/4/75, which letter begins with
wording ?warning,? were discussed with United States
Attorney ALLEN LEE DONIELSON, SDI, Des Moines, Iowa, and
DONIELSON, via letter dated 3/13/75, advised he had reviewed
the matter. He stated that while he cannot be certain,
the writing and method of expression appeared to him to be
the same as that which had been written on some occasions
in the past. He advised it was obvious the writer had some
type mental abberation, and he could see nothing which
would demand further investigation.
The facts of the matter were re?discussed with b6 -f3
USA DONIELSON on 3/25/75, after [involvement in b7{f-3
the matter had been established through her admissions to
interviewing Agents on 3/24/75.
USA DONIELSON, on 3 25/75, indicated he would not b6
consider prosecution to the letters she b7C ?3
wrote in captioned investigation or letters shehas written
in previous investigations. He further indicated he would

opinion, after close scrutiny of the letters, tha
is victim of some type mental abberation. In
opinion, the facts contain nothin which would demand

Dear b7C -1
This letter is something I don't think should be taken too
seriously, but it is a threat since they are wanting to
kill all the FBI and say ?we'll kill Billy Graham".
I'm sending you this letter for whatever purpuse you might
decide. I'm sure you get thousands of letters like this
but just felt that I should call this to your attention.
Thanks a million.
Most sincerely,

Dear :
This letter is something I don't think should be taken too
seriously, but it is a threat since they are wanting to
kill all the FBI and say ?we'll kill Billy Graham".
I'm sending you this letter for whatever purpuse you might
decide. I'm sure you get thousands of letters like this
but just felt that I should call this to your attention.
Thanks a million.
Most sincerely,
.Associate to Billy Graham

IT,
00: SAN JUAN
On Februa 21 1995, writer met withl
Iandl b6 ?5
I GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION who furnished b7C ?5
93/
writer the following information with regard to the above
captioned event:
During the dates of March 14-18, 1995, BILLY GRAHAM
will be conducting evangelistic meetings at the HIRAH BITHORN
Stadium in San Juan, PR. This is an outdoor stadium which will
seat over 30,000 when extra seat?are added to the infield.
In addition to these public meetings,the BILLY GRAHAM
EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION will host a three day Christian Worker's
Conference during the dates of March 8-10, 1995, at the ROBERTO
CLEMENTE Coliseum which is adjacent to the HIRAH BITHORN Stadium.
Over 2,000 peOple are expected to attend this activity.
During the dates of March 16-18, 1995, the meetings
from San Juan will be sent?via satellite to 188 countries
representing 2,741 satellite reception locations in 116
languages. The estimated audience worldwide is
9,974,499. Additionally, the BILLY GRAHAM ASSOCIATION plans to
place a 1 hour TV program on prime?time in 100 nations.
During the next few days a massive advertising campaign
will commence worldwide making the public aware of both the
global event as well as the local satellite reception venues in
each of the 188 countries. The media is expected to descend on
San Juan in large measure to cover this event. Representatives
of CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC, AP and Reuters are planning to give
headline coverage. In fact, many from the international TV, ?bm/
radio, and newspaper media will be 'n attendance. UbS(2) xi?) 9k? was

This type of public meeting has drawn massive attention
from the general public worldwide as well as in PR. In some
parts of the world outright opposition is expected, especially in
the Middle East. The following nations in the Middle East are
participating via satellite with public meetings planned:
Israel - Hebrew and Arabic languages
Jordan - 10 venues
Syria - 5 venues
Lebanon - 14 venues plus some TV
Egypt - 90 venues planned with possibly 200
Sudan - Delayed video tape (supplied by Egyptgeria II II II II I. If
Tunisia Recorded and delayed
Morocco - 3 venues
Mauritania - 1 venue plus video tape later
Iraq - Delayed video supplied by Jordan
Arabian Peninsula] Gulf States - Delayed videc supplied
by Egypt
Given the continued opposition by the Muslim nations to
the type of message BILLY GRAHAM preaches, the government's
knowledge in each country of the event, recent activity by
Islamic radical groups and the presence of a large Muslim
population in PR, are of concern with regard to the safety of
BILLY GRAHAM and the public attending the crusade, and the
success of the worldwide satellite transmission.
In addition, to these are certain
individuals who have come to the attention of the BILLY GRAHAM
ASSOCIATION which give cause for concern.

has asked if he could?on BILLY GRAHAM's personal security

meeti and wants "very much to meet BILLY in person?.
and photograph were turned over to writer.
Given the continued insistence by these two individuals
to have a personal meeting" with BILLY GRAHAM, and taking into
account the large Muslim population in PR and the level of
involvement of the BILLY GRAHAM ASSOCIATION within over a dozen
predominantly Islamic countries, the executive committee of the
BILLY GRAHAM crusade believes that there is a great potential for
terrorist acts to be carried out to disrupt the activities in San
Juan.
In view of the above, writer recommends that a 135B
matter be initiated in order to further evaluate the possible
threats of criminal or terrorist activity with regard to the
above captioned matter.
