This communication is classified #Seeret in its
entirety.
Full investigation authorized 1l/22/82.
As New York is aware, captioned investigation was a
topic of discussion during a meeting at FBI Headquarters on
March 30, 1988. At that time New York was advised that FBIHQ had
recently conducted a review of the NoRAID investigation in the
course of re-assessing the FBl's Irish Terrorism Sub-Program.
It is obvious that NoRAID, as a registered agent of the
Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) under the provisions of
the Foreign Agent's Registration Act (FARA), is legally providing
financial support to PIRA. Review of the semi-annual FARA
submissions made by NORAID to the U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) indicates that NORAID contributes an average of at least
' o (on) a ooo'oo
() n sa m s
responsible for making payments to the dependents of republican
prisoners.
Although evidence exists which indicates that some
members of captioned group support the PIRA terrorist ideology,
investigation to date has failed to link any NoRAID funds with
the purchase of weapons and/or explosives. Further,
