THE
PARROT STORY
The informer's report written by Julie
Maynard about her trip from Madison to New York in March
1972 continues with a story about "a girl there named
Linda" who has a parrot that "interjects 'Right
On' whenever the conversation gets rousing" (NY-88 page
5). That story was featured in news reports on the
settlement as an example of the trivial information the FBI
had been collecting in 1972, information to which the FBI
devoted substantial resources to keep secret through ensuing
decades. This page includes a variety of other movement
gossip and information, none of which describes plans for
criminal activity. This page was withheld in its entirety
for fourteen years as confidential and then released as part
of the 1997 settlement.
