Secret FBI files reveal covert activities at UC
Bureau's campus operations involved Reagan, CIA
Seth Rosenfeld, Chronicle Staff Writer Sunday, June 9, 2002
_________________________________________________________________
Under the guise of protecting national security, the FBI conducted
wide-ranging and unlawful intelligence operations concerning the
University of California that at different points involved the head of
the CIA and then-Gov. Ronald Reagan, The Chronicle has learned.
According to thousands of pages of FBI records obtained by The
Chronicle after a 17-year legal fight, the FBI unlawfully schemed with
the head of the CIA to harass students, faculty and members of the
Board of Regents, and mounted a concerted campaign to destroy the
career of UC President Clark Kerr, which included sending the White
House derogatory allegations about him that the bureau knew were
false.
The FBI, in contrast, developed a "close and cordial" relationship
with Reagan, who made campus unrest a major issue and vowed to fire
Kerr during his 1966 gubernatorial campaign.
And after he was elected, the FBI failed to report that Reagan falsely
stated on a federal security clearance form that he never had been a
member of any group officially deemed subversive, an omission that
could have been prosecuted as a felony.
The FBI later secretly gave Gov. Reagan's administration information
it could use "against" protesters.
The disclosure of the FBI activities concerning the University of
California during the 1950s and 1960s comes as the bureau has been
granted wider authority and more resources to conduct domestic
intelligence activities, and as President Bush seeks to create a new
Department of Homeland Security.
Experts said the FBI and CIA's past activities involving the
University of California provide a cautionary tale about potential
dangers to academic freedom and civil liberties.
