On September 17, 1968, LILBURN BOGGS, Special
Agent in Charge, United btates Secret Service, Chicago,
Illinois, was interviewed concerning security measures
considered necessary by Secret Service during the
Democratic National Convention DEC! in Chicago,
Illinois, in August, lush, and furnished the following
information;
The U.$- Secret Service had the duty under the
law to protect a number or candidates for nomination by
the Democratic Party for the office of President or the
United States during the DNC. In pursuance-oi th;o ~ -
duty Secret Service cooperated with the National Guard,
the Chicago Police Department and other law enforcement
agencies to arrange the necessary security, ecret éervice
had seen a number of reports of such serious nature CUuCOPD
ing the possibility of harm to candidates for the nomination
that no doubt whatsoever existed that extensive security
precautions were necessary.
Beginning on August 24, 1968, the U.S, Stcret
Service "secured" the Amphithe-92..re and the iuunoiate area,
By this, he said he meant that a "bomb sweep" was COnouLt0d
and all appropriate searches made and thereafter, the
Amphitheatre was planed under a. security gu5.|1'o,,
Security precautions were not only hncesanry at
the Amphitheatre and its immediate vicinity hut were neces-
sary else- here in the city for the purpose u1' st-cur1|.;~;
ingress and egress for candidates for nomination to ahu
from the Amphitheatre ahJ further, to secure their temporary
residences in downtown Chicago hotels.
ln connection with security Hffhmunl to be in
effect during the DAG, the City of Chicago ineuireu Whether
in the Jmh;emvnt of the 5--cret Service a nnarch of damn-
strators to the Amphitheaere would constitute a threat
to those persons being protected by the Secret Service.
The Secret Ser vice responded that in its Juuuement such

a:.wlrch by demonstrators would unquestionably JeopardIety of the candidates for the nomination. Secret I
further recommended that the City of Chicago should not'* Awaive any law, regulation or inJnnctiqn currently in force I
to control marches and demonstrations in the city with one
exception which concerned whether a demonstration should be *
allowed to divide and march at the sane time in two or more l
groups instead of one. Such division of demonstrators .
crowds would not be considered obyectionable by Secret Service. 1
With specific reference to the march led by GREGORY
on Auglst 29, 1968, Grant Park to 18th and Iichigan
Avenue where the march was halted by police and the
Illinois National Guard, hr. HOGGS said that those authorities
acted with the full support by the Secret Service in halting
the march at that point. To have allowed that larch, which ,
obviously contained people hostile to Vice President HUBERT
H, HUMPHREY who had the night before been noainated for
Fresident by the Uenocratic Farty, would have been a bfiib
of necessary security precautions. Ir. BOGG5 said
concerning the march led by GREGORY that he himself had heard
GREGORY speak in Grant Park on August 29, 1968, prior to
the bc;.;innin,; 01' ,thc- march, He heard GREGUIIY say that he Ill
going to his home and was inviting the crowd of demonstrators
to accompany him. he also heard GREGORY say that when they
got to GR£G0Y's house, those in the crowd who wanted to
"could go west" to use GR£G0hY's words. Hr. BOGGS said
that west iron GREGORYs house would obviously have been in
the direction of the Amphitheatre where the final session
or the DNC was in progross. Such a march to GREGORY's
residence or to an area close to the Amphitheatre by the
demonstrators could not he allowed for security reasons.
The Secret Service was concerned not only with the necessity
of protecting the Amphitheatre itself from possibly hostile
demonstrators but also was concerned that if the march was
admitted near the Amphitheatre, there would be a number
of possibly hostile demonstrators in a position to stop
the Secret Service wotorcade, in which the Vice President
would be traveling. Ir. BOGGS said that even a Iew'
persons could block a wotqrclde which when halted is, of
course, lore vulnerable to attack by anyone wanting to do so. t

Yippie leader from Iew York City, HOFFMAN thanked the
people of Chicago for being so polite in welcoming the
demonstrators. He also thanked the participants in the
various demonstrations for their support, even though they
had not got their pictures on the front pages of the
newspaper as had he. ~!le liked to see hiapicture in the __

nominated. There were some five hundred to a thousand

assigned to work on a physical surveillance of AB OFFMAN- during the Democratic National Convention DZIC!, w
He stated that the only time he observed HOFFMAN
incite a crowd was on Sunday, August 25, 1968, at Linccln
Park. At about 6:00 pm on that date, HOFFMAN and other
individuals, including JERRY RUBIN and ED SANDERS, wanted
to use a flat-bed truck for a stage for their Yippie Music
Festival in Lincoln 'Pe.rk. The police would not allow then
to bring the truck in to the park, HOFFMAN then ran up and
urged a huge crowd to help in driving the truck through
the Police barricade. They finally decided not to use the
truck and this was the only time he heard HOFFMAN attempt
to incite a crowd-
On August 26, 1968, HOFFMAN advised a group of
30 or h0 people at 1800 Stockton Avenue, Chicago, that
demonstrators were needed at the Chicago Transit Authority
barn at Ldversey Avenue and Clark Street, Chicago. He did
not go himself but he got several people to march there.
HOFFMAN told the surveilling Agents that it was
all right for then to be with him and indicated that he
considered them to be his bodyguards. But he stated to
them "the 28th belongs to us. Ue are going to tear up the
city and march." He made it a point to advise the Poli*e
v.v 4- - " IIofficers that he was on the outs h JERRY RUBIN,
He advised that HOFH{AN would meet with two, three
or four people, get them organized and then go organize
another group. HOFFMAN appeared to be a_coordinator but
never appeared before a large group.

L-24
"It is called a revolution towards a free society - Yippie -
and the slogan is, Be realistic, demand the impossible
and it was written on a Paris wall during the Student Uprising
this spring."
L-25
"The legalization of marijuana and all of the psychedelic
drugs; the freeing of all the prisoners currently in prison
on narcotics charges; a prison system based on the concept
of rehabilitation rather than punishment; a judicial system
WhlCh works towards the abolition of all laws related to
crimes without victims, that is, retention only of laws
related to crimes where there is an unwilling injured party, i.e.
murder, rape. assault."
L-26
"The abolition of money; the abolition of pay housing,
pay media, pay transportation, pay food, pay education, pay
medical help, and pay toilets; a society which works towards
and actively promotes the concept full unemployment; a society
in which people are free from the drudgery of work; adoption
of the concept Let the machines do it. "
L-27
"Iany of us may fight and die here. Ie recognize this as
the vision of the founders of this nation who recognize that
we are America who recognize that we are free men. The present-
day politicians and their Anmies of Atomatons have selfishly
robbed us of our birthright. The evilness they stand for

possibility sf tumble as s result of
agitators being the city for the Docrstic canentim, nec-
essary precautions were tekm by cancelling all days off for
personnel of this department and assigning our personnel to
12--hour shifts beginning August 21... Additional help was ordered
in fros other divisions consisting of 16 sen who started 12-hour
shifts on August 25.
Routine patrels endpdectia: were maintained until
August za; at which um, in View of tn. rally held 55 the Band
Shell in Grant Park and the subsequent descnstration, scat of our
personnel were assipied between Randolph Street and 18th Street.
As a result of the denonstrations on this date, it was neces-
sary to occupy our radio Channel No. l frequency exclusively for
use of this departsent due to the nuserous incidents. This re-
sulted in a slow down of switching operations as the crews who
normally use this channel were required to handle by hand sig-
nals and telephme. It was also necessary to block our suburban
bridge at 12th Street which leads frw the west side at Michigan
Avenue of our right of way to the east side at Outer Drive oppo-
site the bend shell in Grant Park. This was necessary as the
bridge was not built to withstand the traffic which would have
used this facility, as the City authorities bad blocked their
bridge Just north of ours and were directing all the public
to cross our tracks at Balboa Drive to control the sob. Due
to this necessary preceutim, this resulted in an inconvenience
to our passengers as we were not able to dsi:-erI1ne'_"'" the psssmge" rs
from those Just desiring access to .the bridge. This precaution
was necessary from 2 p.e. until ll p.s. that night.*

NOTE:
An article appearing in the Village Voice 9-19 -68, by Nat Hentoff
contains an allegation that Agents interviewed a "yippie" concerning the
disorders at the Democratic National Convention and during the interview,
the yippie attempted to furnish information concerning a civil rights viola-
tion including the badge number ef a riettng "cop. " The yippie alleged the
Agents were not interested in this information and did not even write the
badge number down. Hentoff was interviewed and identified the yippie as
Hoffman. The facts alleged by Hoffman are false and he has in the past
made other unfounded allegations. The information concerning this
incident should be incorporated into an LHM for the information of the
Department and affidavits should be obtained so that we willhave a record
of this matter in the event it should come up again.
