Irish Republican Army Part 2 of 7 61-7606 Sect 6-12_text

This file only
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.

I have been shovm a copy of a letter dated January 4th, 1945 tqtha^
^Oi"ctor, Washington, D. C, in which it la mentioned that Special Agenii "
( y^oyxld get in touch vrith m e concerning^
For your information, the writer -was assigned the ease of the Irish
Republican Array, which is file 98-88, and which is presently not available.
'iThen this was taken over by the writer, practically no information had been
developed regarding the identity or activities of this organization. I was
successful in contacting a member of the Irish Republican Anny and was placed
upon the mailing list of their underground newspaper, "The Irish Republican"
which I had sent to my home on Long Island. This was with the full knowledge
and consent of Special Agent in Charge Sackett. Copies of this newspaper,
together with the envelopes with which they were addressed to me, were imme-
diately forwarded to the Bureau and the Bureau and the Special Agent in Charge
were kept fully advised regarding my contacts with this group.
r— ^ recall that at one time I was invited by the contact I made to
ri^a-^ attend a meeting of the Irish Republican Army and discussed this matter with
-J- Mr. Sackett. He telephoned to the Bureau and they refused permission for me
to join this organization. Therefore I did not join.
This has been ray only contact with the Irish Republican ArnQr and since
the case was assigned to some other agent, I have not done one single minute's
work upon it.
