I recently requested a copy of the report "Communist Propaganda in the United States" from the FBI. During the administrative appeal procedure, I learned that there were many such research reports. Some of them are listed below.

These FBI Publications are available upon request from the Federal Bureau of Investigation at this address:

Federal Bureau of Investigation
Attn: David M. Hardy, Section Chief
Record/Information Dissemination Section
Records Management Division
935 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W.
Washington, DC 20535-0000

I might mention that the Eisenhower Library is a valuable resource for this type of material, although it does not contain all FBI reports for the period.

Editor's Notes: If you're not familiar with making FOIA requests, it is highly recommended that you read this handy guide from the National Security Archive. If you get interesting FBI reports, please share them.
