FBI Section 147 • LL-1–LL-7 • CA State Depts – Alternative Considerations of Jonestown & Peoples Temple

The FBI combined seven folders of Temple documents – LL-1 through LL-7 – into a single section totalling 160 pages and labelled in the Guyana Index as “CA [California] State Depts.”

The listing below is complete for this section of the FBI’s FOIA release. The complete PDF for this section as released by the FBI is here.

The citation for these documents should open with the FBI’s official designation of these records, which is “RYMUR 89-4286.” Each individual page in these records has a unique number. Page 154 of this document, for example, is marked “LL-7-f-1”. The complete citation for that page, then, would be “RYMUR 89-4286-LL-7-f-1”.

The documents in this section were transcribed by Heather Shannon. The editors are grateful for her invaluable assistance.
