Enclosed to the Bureau and receiving offices are two copies each of an article appearing in the Fresno Bee newspaper of 3/ll/77 which synopsizes the current problem of the Mexican Mafia and the Nuestra Familia in the State of California. .
For the information of the Bureau and receiving offices, Sacramento is instituting investigation of the captioned organizations and individuals, based on the enclosed newspaper article and the following information. In recent years, there has been an increase in violence and criminal activity on the part of the captioned organizations, which had their origins within the California Prison System. These groups have now spread to the civilian population outside the prison system and have evidenced a high degree of organization. Recent informant information obtained by state and local authorities indicates well organized criminal activity is planned and perpetrated by these groups. Documents seized during local arrests of Nuestra Familia NF! members discuss in succinct form the intended criminal activity to be undertaken to finance the gangfs operations in the areas of prostitution, narcotics, robbery and extortion. Some examples of criminal activity undertaken by these gangs in the recent past, in the areas of E81 jurisdiction, are as follows: ~ 0 -

II. HISTORY or , LA NUESTRA .
On December 18, l973, a U.S. Government House report No. 93-738, Pages 80-81, 93rd Congress, First Session, by the Committee on Internal Security, House of Representatives, entitled "Revolutionary Target: The American Penal System" . contained the following information: M , .
NUESTRA FAMILIA OUR FAMILY!
Nuestra Familia consists of a group of Mexicans American inmates who are predominantly from the valley areas of California. It was formed in 1968 by a group of Mexican Americans who banded together for protection against the -' Mexican Mafia. Members of Nuestra Familia have been involved in the narcotics traffic and are presently at war with the Mexican Mafia which resents the encroachment of Nuestra Familia on its narcotics territory.
Nuestra Familia has about 200 members within the California prison system. Unlike the Mexican Mafia, Nuestra Familia has no formal connections on the outside. .However, it recently formed an alliance with the Black Guerrilla Family and has received assistance from that inmate group in its battle with the MexicanMafia over drug related matters.

The primary objective of Nuestra Familia, as noted in its constitution and bylaws, is ...for the betterment of- members and the building up of the organization on the out- side into a strong and self-supporting family." It was also stated, "All members will work solely for that objective and will put all personal goals and ieelings aside until said fulfillment is accomplished." Another section of the bylaws stated that Nuestra Familia's general will maintain a list of l0 enemies of Nuestra Familia and any Nuestra Familia member who kills one of these enemies will automatically V become a lieutenant in the organization.

on January 31,1914, the 1914 Report to the California ' Senate by the Subcommittee on Civil Disorder, Page 12, con- tained the following information: '~ .'
The Nuestra Familia, or New Family, is the second most populous and powerful organization in the prison system 0 Formed originally by Central valley and farming area Mexican an Americans as protection against the Mexican Mafia M!, the Nuestra Familia NF! has become an entity in itself, and now competes with the MM for control of illegal activities, narcotics and in plain violence. They operate under formal by laws and become members for life. Any attempt to leave _ the group results in death, as does failure to carry out a command from the group'sgeneral or captains.
