D. FINANCES, Q Q
Funding for the RPP is dependent almost totally
from donations from the oeneral public and from the saleof the BPP newspaper. The newspaper, itself, which has
in the past been a constant source of revenue, has dwindled
considerably and the party membership generally sells fewer
than 100 copies of the newspaper per month.
Donations to the Party in the past have come from
churches and individual contributions by persons who have
benefited from the DPP Free Nnbulance Service. These donations
have varied l amounts however renerall funds were obtained 9 I-2
at e time, In view of the fact that the Free a iew dollars
fmbulance Service has been discontinued in view of the lack
of funds, the Party no longer receives donations through ,1
_pr»the'ambulance service.
The newspaper, fhe_Blqch_Pnnther, sells for 25¢
e copy and half the proceedslfromlthe newspaper sales are
.1 forwarded to the BPP Headquarters in Oar

in Uinston5alem have been necessary for

APPENDIX
BLACK PANTHER PARTY
FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY FOR SELF-DEFENSE
The Black Panther Party BPP!, organized in December,
1966, at Oakland, California, by Huey P. Newton and Bobby George
Seale, has the publicly stated purpose of organizing black
people to take control of the life, politics, and destiny of the
black community. The Party, operating the Black Panther
Intercommunal News Service, publishes a newspaper called "The
Black Panther," which at one time openly advocated the use of
guns and guerrilla tactics in a revolutionary program to end the
nn-r qqinn F {'11 'h'|::r~lr r92r>n'r921 1-92 9' qi 1 TQ71 H laepple--l-n or -e -l-- people cu- -lnce early -,.- as speaen
for a survival program pending revolution.
~/' '" While openly advocating direct overthrow of the U. S.
Government by force and violence until 1971, leaders have since
avoided extreme statements in favor of calling for action within
the established order. Newton, in an interview appearing in the
May, 1973, issue of "Playboy" magazine, stated the Panthers
chief ambition is to change the American Government by any means
necessary but that ultimately such change will be through armed
violence.
BPP national headquarters, also known as Black Panther
Intercommunal Headquarters, as of May, 1974, continued to be
located in Oakland, California, with branches throughout the
country.

Funding for the BPP is dependent almost totally
from donations from the general public and from the sale
of the DP? newspaper. The newspcper, itself, which has
in the past been 0 constrnt source of revenue, has dwindledconsiderably and the party membership generally sells fewer K!
than 200 copies of the newspaper per month,
Donations to the Party have regularly come from
area churches and from individual contributions by persons
who have benefited from the BPP Free Ambulance Service.
These donations very in amounts; however, generally funds I, '
are obtrined a few dollars at a time.
Additionally, donations to the Party have also
come from individuals supporting the Jo Ann Little movement
which evolved in the Winston-Salem area during the spring o
and summer of 1975 as a result of an ongoing investigation
and subsequent trial being held in Raleigh, North Carolina,
during august, 1975, at which time J0 ANN LITTLE, a Negro
female, was charged 'ith the murder of 9 white BeaufortCounty Jailer and subsequently acquitted in that uicl. K,
The newspaper, The Black Panther, sells for 25¢
a copy and half the pr@¢@e&sTE5n the newspaper sales re
fortnrded to the BPP Herdquarters in Oakland, California.
Proceeds from donations are regularly spent on gcs and oil
and upkeep for the BPF ambulance and other vehicles as well
as maintaining headquarters and also For payment to BPP ,~

BPP members are generally unemployed and devote
their full time and energy to BPPsponsored programs.

funding of the ambulance service.U

Community support for the ambulance service
has not been as strong as in the past due to some puhlicit
end that regard is a result of the ambulance traveling at

APPENDIX
BLACK PANTHER PARTY
FORNERLY KNOWN AS THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY FOR SELF-DEFENSE
The Black Panther Party BPP!, organized in December,
1966, at Oakland, California, by Huey P. Newton and Bobby George
Seale, has the publicly stated purpose of organizing black
people to take control of the life, politics, and destiny of the
black community. The Party, operating the Black Panther
Intercommunal News Service, publishes a newspaper called "The
Black Panther," which at one time openly advocated the use of
guns and guerrilla tactics in a revolutionary program to end the
oppression of the black people but since early 1971 has spoken
for a survival program pending revolution. -
[ls -~ While openly advocating direct overthrow of the U. S.
Government by force and violence until 1971, leaders have since
avoided extreme statements in favor of calling for action within
the established order. Newton, in an interview appearing in the
May, 1973, issue of "Playboy" magazine, stated the Panthers
chief ambition is to change the American Government by any means
necessary but that ultimately such change will be through armed
violence.
BPP national headquarters, also known as Black Panther
Intercommunal Headquarters, as of May, 1974, continued to be
located in Oakland, California, with branches throughout the
country. _

it is believed that this could result in possible embarrassment

Re: Black Panther Party
Charlotte Division!
PRESENT SITUATION AND OBSERVATIONS:
While the reporter for the Winston-Salem Journal
possibly would not desire to reveal the source of his
information or method oi access to the FBI report, he may
respond to questioning regarding the possible theft of
Government property violation in which he could be involved-
Recommendations of SAC, Charlotte, are called for regarding
such an interview as well as the SACs recommendations
concerning contact with someone in a management position at
the Winston-Salem Journal with whom relations appear to be
cordial. It Iurther appears that interview of James
Zollicoffer, interview oi the reporter and/or the management
level oi the newspaper and resolution of any other outstanding
investigation to determine the leak of the document should
be conducted, prior to the entire matter being presented
to the United States Attorney for a prosecutive opinion
relative to a violation of Title 13, Section 641, Theft oi ii
Government Property.
This matter has been coordinated with Supervisorof the General Ilivestigative Division and withbuhervisoltoi the External Affairs Division.

CHAQACTERIZATION OF SUBVERSIVE ORGANIZATION
EXTREMIST HATIER c 7 W , f
RUSSELL EDWARD NcUONALD and his wife, HARY KATHERIE
McDONALD, established an independent organization on February 20,
19Z§,-in Lumberton, North Carolina, known as the Black Panther
-Party BP°!_ McDONALD and his wife are former members of the
Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Chapter of the BPP which has
its National Headquarters in Oakland, California, but this
BPP organization in Lumberton has no connection with that
organization, nor with any other organization. T}
The purpose of this BF? is to enable Blacks to obtain
greater economic leverage and more power in the Lumberton, -
North Carolina, area.
This organization became defunct in the Summer of _
1974.
The BPP with headquarters in Oakland, California,
has the publicly stated purpose of organizing hlack people to
take control of the life, politics and destiny of the black
community. In 1973, its leader publicly stated that the chief
ambition of the BPP is to change the American Government by any
means necessary but that ultimately such change will be through armed
Q I violence. 7

Louis A. Giovan:-tti. an FBI man for 24 years, popped a
Ludc-n's cough drop into his mouth and let it be known that
he did indeed watch Tll.-92T television show.

T At first glance, Giovanctli loc-lzs a bit like Zimbalist,
ivith black hair brushed neatly hack. a touch of gray
around the regulation-short sideburns. and inconspicuous i
blue eyes and wearing an equally inconspicuous blue suit
-But after talking with Giovanetti. it seems more likely l
that Zimhalist was picked to look and act like Giovanetti. l
From his '1nshak:tble loyalty to his oreanization and his I
country to his little tie tack with the Fill insignia on it, i
Giovanetti is the kind of agent J. Edgar Hoover could have
had sweet dreams about.
' And Giovanetli is proud of what he is.

"You either become ilt.ljl.lSt *t.l to moving or resign," he
said.
Giovanetti became an agent during the J. Edgar Hoover
regime, learning the ropes under Iloover men and teaching
those ropes to others.
lle fQllQ92t'ed bureau policy to the letter and when the
policy was not to tall: lu ncwsmcn. he didn't talk.
llut when lloovcr died and policy changed under new
leaders, he lollott-ed that hnreau policy.
"l liav_enlt»n1adc'a no comment to a reporter in three
years now." '
The policy now is for openness. even on sensitive topics.
So he leaned his forehead acainst his hand and talked.
_ On the Patty llcarst case. for example:
"It's: 92|l92ll'i'|'|';'92F§l|'92'l'-l: 92's'i, lr;i92.'e:92'l lirrn faced with this

vestigative orgtanization."
. Or on recent cliargcs that the I-BI has compiled files on
-the personal lives of public figures:
_,' "Ours is an intclli;;encc-gathcring function. If they
tagentsl receive inforrnation they think might be useful
later on. it is their responsibility to index it."
- But, he said, agents don't go after eossip.
Giovanett said stories about the FBI compiling dossiers
on Americans. and stories about the Central intelligence
Anr-n.r~92vc :92|92l'i92:ilir92t linrn rind rihrnnrl |92"l92.Il'92 lnirl lhn I-utrnnln IIh92,II-J 92- 14¢," ----~.u 1-1.1 u---.4 ll92ll92-"ll!-I| v92. nu." 92. 921l92_ 92;92I- 92;1n4-92But he said the Fill has never lacked for qualified
applicants. and the hurcau is still able to get "the cream of
our young people, both men and women."
Turnover among the 8.600 agents is next to nothing. he
said, and l_l_lE_;92;ll'ldIlltlSfOl' agents ta law or accounting
tlegrcel have not draped.
j _',92Ve start new agents at $l?,tltX1 a year, and l thinlr. that's
' It
t._.'1-'comparable to what they could be making in bt|siness."".
But Giovanetti liarhors another worry about allegations
against the Fill and the public heat'ntgs"'dr.it will look into
the bureau's operations. . ,.-
lie fears the hearings might provide too much inforrna-.
tion for spies. =
Not suhvcrsives, or "foreign intelligence gathcrcrs,"
but plain old spies, the hind the bureau has been alter for
years. . -
llcre the hand came down from the forehead and he lean-
ed forward -
"l can assure you that our adversaries in this world have
not changed their goals."
The adversaries, he said. are still the Communist

BLACK PANTHER PARTY
FORERLY KQQUN AS TQEHBh§CK_PaNTHER4PaRIX_FQR SBLFjQEPEQSE
The Black Panther Party BPP!, organized in December,
1966, at Oakland, California, by Huey P. Newton and Bobby George
Seale, has the publiclyqstated purpose of organizing black
- people to take control of the life, politics and destiny of
the black community. The Party, operating the Black Panther
lntereommunal News Service, publishes a newspaper called
"The Black Panther," which at one time openly advocated the
use of guns and guerrilla tactics in a revolutionary program
to end the oppression of the black people but since early
1971 has spoken for a survival program pending revolution. ,_
BPP national headquarters, aka Black Panther Intercomunal
Headquarters, is located in Oakland, California. .
.-Z"-
_ While openly advocating direct overthrow of the
U. S. Government by force and violence until 1971, leaders
have since avoided extreme statements in favor of calling
for action within the established order. Newton, in an
interview appearing in the May, 1973, issue of "Playboy"
magazine, stated the Panthers chief ambition is to change
the American Government by any means necessary but that ,
ultimately such change will be through armed violence.
Despite its claimed dedication to community service,
indicators of the BPP's continued attraction to violence persist.
Since July, 197%, Newton and other BPP members have been arrested
in Oakland, California, for threatening police officers,
murder of a 17-year old female and the pistol whipping of
Newton's tailor. Newton failed to appear on these charges and
is now a local fugitive. Additionally, one died and three
were wounded as a result of a shooting at a BPPsponsored 1
dance in Oakland, California, in October, 1974.

BLACK PANTHER PARTY
FORHERhX_KNOU as rut stack PANTH§R eggry gen srtr-nrrenst
The Black Panther Party BPP!, organized in December,
1966, at Oakland, California, by Huey P. Newton and Bobby George
Seale, has the publiely<stated purpose of organizing black
people to take control of the life, politics and destiny of
the black community. The Party, operating the Black Panther
Intercommunal News Service, publishes a newspaper called
The Black Panther," which at one time openly advocated the
use of guns and guerrilla tactics in a revolutionary program
to end the oppression of the black people but since early
1971 has spoken for a survival program pending revolution.
BPP national headquarters, aka Black Panther lntercommunal
Headquarters, is located in Oakland, California.. I
""p' 9 While openly advocating direct overthrow of the
Uf S. Government by force and violence until 1971, leaders
have since avoided extreme statements in favor of calling
for action within the established order. Newton, in an
interview appearing in the May, 1973, issue of "Playboy"
magazine, stated the Panthers chief ambition is to change
the American Government by any means necessary but that
ultimately such change will be through armed violence.l- I
Despite its claimed dedication to community service,
indicators of the BPP's continued attraction to violence persist.
Since July, 197A, Newton and other BPP members have been arrested
in Oakland, California, for threatening police officers,
murder of a l7-year old female and the pistol whipping of
Newton's tailor. Newton failed to appear on these charges and
is now a local fugitive. Additionally, one died and three
were wounded as a result of a shooting at a BPP-sponsored -
dance in Oakland, California, in October, 1974.
