The pamphlet was prepared by the Phoenix Office of the FBI for dissemination to State and local law enforcement officers. Its purpose was to assist uniformed patrol officers in identifying potential domestic terrorism and to encourage officers to contact the FBI if, and when, they encountered criminal activities which could constitute domestic terrorism. The FBI only conducts investigations which are appropriately authorized under applicable Attorney General Guidelines.

This pamphlet your joint task force is publishing is bordering on treason. It is the duty of all Americans to preserve, protect and defend the US Constitution against ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. I have taken that oath at least 5 times, as a Marine and a civil service employee.
This pamphlet would, quite reasonably place the premier Law Enforcement organization in the country, the FBI, on 'domestic enemies' category, because it is labeling defenders of the constitution as domestic terrorists!!
The FBI's role in protecting America is of primary importance. Please don't smear it by publishing this misleading pamphlet. Please remove this pamphlet from circulation at once.
