The indices of the NYO fail to reflect any derogatory subversive information identifiable with the subject, RICHARD BUCKMINSTER FULLER. ReBulet furnished the NYO with references concerning RICHARD: BUCKMINSTER FULLER as obtained through a review of Bufiles. A review of these by the NYO failed to reflect any ~4e NY 105-38947 SECRET : samy specific derogatory subversive information regarding bé6 FULLER. It was noted that in NY 100-81714 (Bufile 100- ae 3i903) page 15 of the WFO report of SA dated 8/4/47, captioned "AMERICAN SOVIET SOTENCE SOCIETY, INC; IS - Rj reflects that a membership. list dated October, 1946, lists Dr. R.
