July 9, 1999
The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced today that it has
added the following new subject matters to the Espionage, Famous
Persons, and Historical Interest categories of its Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) Internet website:
ESPIONAGE
Rudolph Nureyev -- 160 pages
Rudolph Nureyev, the famous Russian ballet dancer who defected to
the West from the Soviet Union in 1961, was the subject of an FBI
Espionage investigation in 1964 following the discovery of a
cryptic note behind a wall plaque in a California hotel. The note
read as follows: "Nureyev - I made contact with the agent at
M.L.S. and he agreed that we should wait before we attempt to
3689001427. I hope you find the note as you requested I put it
here on 7-19. I really don't approve of your hiding place, it is
rather conspicuous."
The FBI interviewed Nureyev and several other individuals in an
attempt to discover the writer and true meaning of the note and
whether it was actually meant for Rudolph Nureyev or some other
individual. The investigation was closed when no significant
information was developed. Nureyev's name also came to the
attention of the FBI during the 1970's in a national security
context with the details remaining classified. In addition,
unsubstantiated comments regarding Nureyev's personal lifestyle
are noted occasionally in the file.
Burgess, MacLean and Philby -- 3219 pages
Guy Burgess and Donald MacLean were British diplomats who
disappeared in 1951 and surfaced in Moscow in 1956. There was
speculation that Harold "Kim" Philby, head of the Soviet section
of the British Secret Intelligence Service, was the "third man"
who alerted them before they could be arrested for espionage.
Philby defected to the Soviet Union in 1963.
FAMOUS PERSONS
Wernher Von Braun -- 532 pages
In 1948 Wernher Von Braun was described as the most important of
the German scientists employed by the Department of the Army at
Fort Bliss. He was the subject of generally favorable background
investigations in 1948 and 1961 in connection with his work in
the rocket science field for the United States Government.
Cesar Chavez and United Farm Workers -- 2021 pages
Cesar Chavez was the founder and director of the National Farm
Workers Association, later known as the United Farm Workers
Organizing Committee. The FBI investigated Chavez and his
organization based on allegations in 1965 that he and others
within the organization had communist affiliations.
HISTORICAL INTEREST
Jonestown Summary -- 365 pages
On November 18, 1978, Congressman Leo J. Ryan was shot and killed
in Guyana, along with four other individuals. Congressman Ryan
was visiting Jonestown, Guyana, for the purpose of conducting a
Congressional inquiry into the activities of the People's Temple
and Reverend Jim Jones. The FBI investigated his murder under the
code name "RYMUR" and in 1986, Lawrence John Layton was found
guilty in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California,
of several federal violations, including Conspiracy to Murder a
Congressman.

requested and released records available to the public on this
website. These documents are a representative sampling of those

or unusual phenomena on the FOIA website.
