FBI Section 88 was divided into two sections with the “G” designation and both labelled in the Guyana Index<\/em><\/a> as “Communist Contacts.” This, the first of the two sections, is further designated “USSR” and consists of 241 pages.<\/p>\n

The complete PDF for this section as released by the FBI is here<\/a>. Most of the pages from this section comprise notes of meetings between Temple members and officials of the Soviet Embassy, which have been organized into a separate page<\/a>. The remaining documents of this section appear below.<\/p>\n

The citation for these documents should open with the FBI\u2019s official designation of these records, which is “RYMUR 89-4286.” Each individual page in these records has a unique number. Page 82 of this document, for example, is marked \u201cG-1-c-1\u201d. The complete citation for that page, then, would be \u201cRYMUR 89-4286-G-1-c-1\u201d.<\/p>\n

Documents from the second section, G-2, on \u201cCommunist contacts, Korea, Cuba,\u201d is here<\/a>. It should also be noted that the FBI release includes additional documents concerning the Temple\u2019s relationship with the Soviet Union and other Communist countries, at\u00a0Section 139 GG-1 \u2013 GG-3<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
