Under direction of the Federal. Courts, SDNY, 7/6/81 , NORAID has been ordered to declare themselves an agent, To date they have refused to do so. According to inasmuch as NORAID has lost its appeal of the above si feral Tuling, SDNY is considering instituting contempt charges against NORAID and its principals. Since Novenber, 1962, the New York Division has tried various means of determining the disposition of NORAID funds with little success. One New York Agent, acting in an undercover capacity, attempted to join NORAID, attending functions held under its auspices, frequented pubs and restaurants utilized by NORAID principles and made small contributions while requesting further information regarding the organization, The SA received no reply to his inquiries nor was he able to associate himself with its principals, Informant contact within NORAID and with those individuals suspected of weapons procurenent activities has been non- productive.

As is explained on some of the enclosed literature the aim of the American Irish Unity Committee is to generate publicity, gain public support for Irish nationalism in Ireland. The AIUC is one of several organizations that supports the goals of Irish nationalists in Ireland.
