previous statements by security

"The Security Service does not have 'security agents' established at universities in New Zealand to study university activities nor has the Service any interest in everyday campus activities...

Nevertheless, the Service must retain its right, as in the past, to instruct its staff to make inquiries at a university if there is reason to believe that there is a matter of Security interest... It has a duty to follow Communist and Communist front activities and the possibility of espionage wherever these may occur."

(Salient June 17, 1966)
