Here we see a 1969 memo from the deputy director of the FBI Cartha De Loach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartha_DeLoach) to the associate director of the FBI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clyde_Tolson) describing Ronald Reagan's attitude to the Berkeley student protests. The memo records a conversation between De Loach and Herbert Ellingwood, Reagan's legal affairs secretary.

"Mr Ellingwood stated that Governor Reagan is dedicated to the destruction of disruptive elements on California College campuses. The state government will attack these groups through several methods." The methods include "(3) A psychological warfare campaign."

"Mr Ellingwood was most commendatory concerning the Director [J. Edgar Hoover] and the FBI, and he spoke of Governor Reagan's admiration of the Director."
