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.
Transcript
MacDERioTr was classed as a statesman without portfolio.
Concerning LacDERMoTT the folloving article appeared in the
1
Senator Frank liacDermott, who usually issues his pontifical
iroadsides as a member of the upper chamber of the Eire 1egisla-
ture, and quite recently has assumed the same task in the United
States, where he is hibernating in the dual capacity of a polite
Saturday to exploit his views in the Herald Tribune on the
problens of the country from which he draws part of his income
out of the taxpayers' money.
Tle wonder if the Sgnator considors it good uorals to con-
tinue drawing a salary fron the Erie treasury while he remains
in another country and contributo8 not one jot or tittle of
service to the people whom he is paid to serve? lio vas not
delegated by any responsitlo authority in Fire to cone here to
tell the American people hov eager he is to havc his countrymen
accept his political philcsophy rugarding the partition issuo,
neutrality, or anything else that affccts thcir holfaro. So
far as We knov, ho is & man vithout a mandato.
The Senator, howcver, takos himself rathor scriously: it is
an attribute of his charactor that enhanccs thc ludicrousnoss of
his pondorous pronouncoments. He has a pontificial vay vith hin,
has the Senator, and it is thc irony of fate that he must noeds
travcl without & governnont portfolio.
Imagine ho.r history might bo revolutionized in thc twinkling
of an cye if thc Scnator were ondowed vith tho povcr of a tribune
of his people! Dcep in thc roots of his country's soil, as hc
is, and boldly proclaims--so difforcnt from tho Tones, the
Emmets, the Kussells, tno Mitchcls, the Farnolls, tho Poarses
and tho others vho c ould not claim that distinction--thc Scna-
in the darkncss of a chaotic worid, had thc gods but favorcd
him vith tho sceptcr of supromncy ovur thc national affairs of
thc country which hc finds so much tino to cxcoriato' boyond
its b umndarics.
