Look at Ramparts magazine in the'60's. Ramparts exposed the NSA/CIA
connection. I'm not sure of the date - 1966-67 or so.

Thanks for the reply. I look forward to seeing your work on NSA -
as you indicate, there is VERY little out there, and when I was working on
Young Americans for Freedom I had great difficulty even finding references
to manuscript materials. I sort of stumbled onto the material in the ADA
microfilm, but it turned out to be exactly what I had been looking for with
respect to YAF and SDS at the NSA meetings in the early 1960s. All of it
primary material. I am curious, though - where else did you find NSA
files? I understand that there are some in the Allard Lowenstein Papers,
but where else? And when will your stuff be appearing? where?
Cheers,
John Andrew

I think Warren Hinckle was the "Ramparts" editor who produced a lot of exposes of the intelligence community back then, assisted by "ex-agents" of the Victor Marchetti/Phillip Agee variety.
It was before August 1967. Because it was mentioned in a Barron's article at that time regarding the National Conference on New Politics":
"Among the members of the National Conference for New Politics national council and executive board are: Paul Albert, California Democratic Council; Donna Allen, Women Strike for Peace; Julian Bond, Georgian State Legislature; Paul Booth, national council, Students for a Democratic Society; Reverend William Sloan Coffin, Jr., chaplain, Yale University; Victoria Gray, Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party; Dick Gregory, actor; Martin Peretz, Committee on Social Studies, Harvard University; Robert Scheer, publisher, Ramparts magazine; Monroe Wasch, American Federation State, County & Municipal Employees; Henry Wineberg, Committee for Independent Political Action, Chicago; and Michael Wood, former member of the National Student Association who leaked to Ramparts information about the operations of the Central Intelligence Agency".Not sure if I've seen Michael Wood before. We've seen most of the others mentioned often. Robert Scheer is now a columnist with the Los Angeles Times. Martin Peretz is currently involved in various investments in Colorado with Sam Brown (Action/VISTA).
