Remymemo 6-13-72, setting forth the criminal backgrounds
of captioned individuals. Mr. Gray requested a draft of a proposed factual
letter to the editor of "The Washington Post" which he noted did not neces-
sarily indicate that he would actually send such a letter.
draft of a
A proposed/letter to possibly send to "The Washington Post"
is attached.
furnished condentially to the Bureau and is not suitable for puuic !s-
cussion by the Bureau. It is additionally noted that the timeliness of a replyIt is noted, however, the letter is necessarily limited in scope,since information concerning the ]11V6I11].6 records of Jackso was $762
is now questionable, since the editorial appeared on June 6th, and the sordid? l-
histories of captioned individuals have been previously set forth in detail in .
other publications. The Angela Davis trial, which prompted editorial men- 9292;
tion of the records of captioned, is also settling down in the public mind andfa as
the wisdom of rekindling of controversy concerning it is debatable.
f.
Hostile press elements are undoubtedly seeking opportlmities
to depict Mr. Gray as "anti-press" and the Post could be characteristically
expected to balloon any response in instant matter out of all proper propor-
tion in an attempt to discredit and smear Mr. Gray and the Bureau. It woul
thus appear advantageous for the Bureau to conserve our ammimition for a
more worthy contest such as a direct attack on the FBI.~92_a 7 ' E 2 2,!-IU0» _ _ -. ~ 5 , draft 01 J _ It is therefore respec y suggested that the attach d/letter01 lithe sent to "The Washington Post" for the reason§__cited-above?"

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Draft of Proposed Letter!
I wish to take exception to the misleading impressions b//C,concerning the criminal character of George Jackson
lee set forth in the editorial "Justice and the Angela DavisVerdict," which appeared in "The Washington Post" on June 6th.
/
reader viewpoints, I am sure you wi 1 agree that fairness and objectivitySince editorial expressions often strongly influence
should be prime considerations. T se essentials, in my opinion,
were missing when it was stated that "George Jackson was in thetwelfth year of an up to life senten e' for a $70 armed robbery," and 57 -that"'is serving a li e sentence without the possibilityof parole for an offense involving he transfer of $10 worth of marijuana."
A reasonable man, I feel, would nclude that these individuals wereoverly penalized for the offenses entioned, out of all proportion to the
severity of the crimes involved. Logically, it would appear they were
both victims of gross injustice.
A closer exami tion, however, of the criminal historiesof Jacksonmight r ult in a far different conclusion, and it is
interesting to note that other publications of widespread readershipassmned the responsibility of fully informing their readers of the true 6/nature of the criminal histories of Jackson Jackson, forexample, received his indeterminate sentence of one year to life after
admitting participation in an armed robbery, wherein the robbery victimwas threatened with death, and this sentence was affixed as a result of
two previous commitments as a juvenile offender. described in

your editorial as assessed a life sentence for an offense involving the
transfer of $10 worth of marijuana, was convicted of an armed robberyand kidnapping of a California man and was armed with a fully loaded

"SOLEDAD BROTHERS"CRIMINAL RECORDS D . M0
Remymemo 6-13-72, which set forth the available criminal
records of captioned individuals.
The San Francisco Office has subsequently forwarded copies
of articles concerning Jackson which appeared in the "National Review" and
"The San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle" which included additional detailsconcerning Jackson's criminal activities. These articles are attached and it
is interesting to note-=a quotation attributed to Jackson in the "Examiner-Chronicle"
article wherein he reportedly stated in August, 1970, '"Ihey have clear cut politicalprisoners here at Safi Quentin, and I consider persons convicted of burglaries
and robberies and crimes of passion and economic crimes, where money and
survival are material, as political prisoners." This statement appears to summarizethe philosophy of Jackson and his supporters who have shrieked so often andso loudly "Free the£.'Political Prisoners!" ' /

On January 5 19.37 fteen yeer old Geor Jackson
was arrested for steaiing a motorcycle. He was released
in the custody of his parents. . . . On Januaryi22 police
arrested Jackson again, on suspicion of burgharizing a
motorcycle shop. While being frisked he turned on one
of the oicers and attempted to drive his back into a
desk spike. As a result of this incident he was detained
briey as a juvenile offender but later released on pro-
bation. . . . During the month of February he rested.
. . . On March 5 Jackson was arrested for burglarizing
a Los Angeles furniture store. This being his third
arrest, the authorities sent him to reform school. . . .
On August 20, 1958 Jackson was again arrested. This

robbed $105 from a gas station. He was arrested,

rearrested. He was paroled in June 1960.
Then, on September 19, 1960, came the farnous gas
station robbery, the one that netted; only 71 bucks.
February 1, 1961 Jackson was sentenced to one year to
life, depending on his behavior. With good behavior he
would have been out in a year; if he didnt behave he
would be in jail for life. As we know, Jackson was in
jail for the rest of his life. . '

__.i§hon Georgeojackson
The Rev. Larry Jones column 2/26! indicated that
there was a lack of factual information availableto the
public concerning the death of George_Jackson during theattempted San Quentin prison break of Aug.¢21, 1971. , . '
Quite contrary to the position expressedby Mr. Jones,
all of the facts surrounding the abortive Jackson prison es-cape are and have been" readily available. The truth ishowever, that the liberal? press and other media, the Na-
tional Lawyers Guild, .1iberal" clergyrnen, and Maoists-yes, Maoists-have been pouring out incendiary rhetoric in
their anxious efforts to attack the American penal system
for being unkind to criminals. c . _ »
; Only moments following lawyer Steve Binghams visit
to Jackson at San Quentin, brother George pulled apistoland the break attempt had begun. Approximately 20min-
utes later three white guards and two white convicts were
