Memorandum for Mr. Sullivan RE: HOWARD ZINN 100-360217 in Atlanta. On 10/24/62 Zinn was one of approximately 25 individuals who conducted a demonstration in Hurt Park, Atlim ta, Georgia, to protest against U.S. policy in the Cuban situation. Zinn moved from Atlanta to the Boston area in the early Fall of 1963 and the case was last brought up to date February, 1964, at which time no information was developed indicating any affiliation with a subversive movement. In his public statements and in his writings he has been critical of the Attorney General for failure to prosecute violations of civil rights and has been critical of the Bureau concerning its roll in civil rights matters. OBSERVATIONS: Because of lack of evidence of membership in a basic revolutionary organization since 1953, subject's name was included in the Reserve Index, Section A, rather than in the Security Index. The Reserve Index represents a special group of individuals scheduled to receive priority attention with respect to investi- gation, interrogation, or detention under the terms of the Emergency Detention Program following invoking of the Program and arrest of all Security Index subjects. Section A, Reserve Index, cases are brought up to date annually. Subject's activities makes this a close case as to whether he belongs on the Reserve Index or the Security Index. He can, -however, be included on the Security Index under the .criterion“facts have been developed which clearly and unmistakably jdepict the subject as a dangerous individual who might commit acts inimical to the national defense and public safety of the Wnited States in time of an emergency,’ and such action is being Security Index cards are being forwarded to the Boston” ACTION : vA a i, hf For information. { lia rp ~ 3-
