In March, 1977, a meeting of the Combined Law Enforcement Intelligence Group (CLEIG) determined that there was a critical need for law enforcement agencies to discuss the growing nationwide problem of the pornography industry and to determine the extent to which organized crime controlled or influenced the industry. As a result of this meeting, the Metropolitan Police Department, Washington, D.C., hosted a conference on June 30, 1977, to examine this problem.

The following goals were established by the conference's participants:

1. Identify the major producers and/or distributors of pornographic material.
2. Identify organized crime figures who are involved in the pornography industry.
3. Establish liaison between local, state and federal law enforcement agencies for the exchange of information concerning organized crime end the pornography industry.
4. Establish a central point where all information will be forwarded for correlation, analysis and eventual dissemination to all participating agencies.

Each participant supplied documented information on pornography operations in their respective jurisdiction. This material identified the major producers and/or distributors of pornographic material and their corporate structures.

This information provides an in-depth picture of pornography operations from the national to the local level. Since the pornography industry is constantly undergoing corporate changes, the contents of this report are to be regarded as investigative leads. Corrections and updating of the material should be completed by the recipient agency.
