"JOHN
WINSTON LENNON: CONFIDENTIAL"
The FBI in its court filings described this
document (NY-19 page 1), dated February 22, 1972, as a
"Letterhead Memorandum from Legat, London" - the
"Legal Attaché" at the American Embassy there.
"Legal Attaché" was the cover title the FBI gave
its agents working overseas. The text contains
"information provided by a foreign government" and
"intelligence information gathered by the United States
about or from a foreign country, group or individual."
release of the information on this page, according to the
FBI, "can reasonably be expected to inter alia: lead to
foreign diplomatic, economic and military retaliation
against the United States." The withheld information
remains the subject of litigation.
