Full Text

At 7:55 p.m. 8/30/63, I received an anonymous call from a male, apparently a Cacucasion, who indicated he had received information that homosexuals may picket the Department of Justice Friday, September 6, 1963, inferring they would protest that the FBI discriminates against homosexuals.

The caller refused to identify himself or furnish the names of any participants.
