Enclosed for Tucson is one America, Southern Arizona Duck Club, copy of Duck Clubs of letter dated 12/6/84.
For the information of the Tucson, Arizona Resident Agency, a full domestic security/terrorism (DS/T) investigation was authorized 10/30/84 and has been extended to 10/15/85.
/ rnvestigation into the activities of the Arizona Patriots by the Phoenix Divi~ion indicates that the Arizona Patriots organization is an anti-tax, neo-Nazi, paramilitary organization funded byi 11n Prescott, Arizona. Arizona Patriots pfiilosophy closely resembles that of the Aryan Nations; Posse Comitatus, and oth~r right wing extremist groups to advocate armed revolution and the literal overthrow of the U.S. Government. Arizona Patriots members are urged to store large caches of arms, ammunition, explosives, food, and other items deemed necessary to be self-sufficient. The actual size of Arizona Patriots followers is unknown; however, some Arizona Patriots leaders have claimed more than 4,00.0 individuals are actual members or sympathizers which include current and retired members of law enforcement and military.
