All files
61-7606 is the FBI’s old main file on the Irish Republican Army. 61 is the classification (treason / internal security in that era). 7606 is the case number. When the paper got too thick they bound it into sections. Joshua Smith’s 2015 release is seven PDFs covering sections 1–32, from 1939 into the early 1990s. A serial is one document inside a section (a letter, teletype, or clipping). The file list follows those PDFs, not the serial numbers.
The 2015 drop includes a second PDF with an embedded text layer for some parts (_text). Same pages as the scan; that copy is omitted from the file list. Word-level OCR differs and search may still hit both.

be sade to clarify Russell's rovenenta subsequent to his rolease from custody
in Detroit, Michigan, in l939, an additioral invostigation will be conducted
in an effort to definitely establish the faote surrounding his departure from
the United States. There ia a dietinct possibility, howevor, that such in-
quiries will feil to derelop the dosirod lnfornetion. In viow of Bunsell's
actiritios It appears probable that he ade every effort to loame the United
States as surreptitiously aa possible and that he nade the deteils of his
doperture known to as few people as possible. Erery effort will be made, how-
ever, to definitely determine exactly when and how he departed fron the United
States.
