[165]These Working Group agencies set their own priorities
[166]"and parameters concerning intelligence on terrorism mat-
[167]ters. From time to time the CIA requests comments from
[168]the Working Group on its weekly terrorism reports.
[170]The organization of the Cabinet Committee is de-
[171]lineated in the President's memorandum of September 25,
[172]1972. The Working Group is composed of senior repre- .
[173]sentatives of the ten agencies on the Cabinet Committee
[174]and representatives of the following agencies: Arxms
[175]Control and Disarmament Agency, Energy Research and
[176]Development Administration, Federal Protective Service,
[177]Immigration and Naturalization Service, Law Enforcement
[178]Assistance Administration, Metropolitan Police Department,
[179]National Security Agency, Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
[180]Office of Management and Budget, and the United States
[181]Information Agency. These additional agencies were in-
[182]vited to participate in the Working Group by the Special
[183]Assistant to the Secretary and Coordinator for Combatting ©
[184]Terrorism (S/CCT), in his capacity as Chairman of the
[185]Working Group.
[187]Under the Working Group there is one formal sub-
[188]group, the Behavioral Science Resource Group (BSRG),
[189]which is composed of behavioral science experts from

[261]Reference is made to memorandum of K. William O'Connor,
[262]Special Counsel for Intelligence Coordination, to Mr. John Mintz, Legal
[263]Counsel Division of this Fureau, dated June 26, 1975, captioned "DAG
[264]Inquiry Re Communication by Former AAG Doar’ to FBI Regarding
[265]Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party Delegation. "
[267]Regarding your request contained in referenced communication
[268]for the Bureau to locate and furnish certain documents, it is my under-
[269]standing that you are in possession of the documents requested.
[271]In response to your request that we turnish our observations
[272]concerning the making of the documents available to former Assistant
[273]Attorney General John Doar, may I suggest that thie raiscs an issue
[274]which has been discussed in the past by the Bureau and the Department
[276]-and other Government agencies. This issue to my knowledge has not
[277]been resolved. That issue is whether a former employee should be
[278]allowed access to documents in the Government's possession to refresh
[279]his recollection for possible testimony before the Senate Select Committee.
[280]Rt is this Furean's position that such documents should not be made
[281]available for the aforementioned purpose, and in those instances where
[282]a former employee cannot respond accurately to the question of the Senate
[283]Select Committee or any other Congressional investigative body, the
[284]Committee or Congreseional body can be referred to the appropriate
[285]bureau or agency which will, if appropriate, furnish the necessary
[286]information. Iam sure you will understand our concern in this regard
[287]ofar as setting a precedent which might serve for future requests of
[289]nature.

[407](1) The DAG has asked me to request that the Bureau make
[408]a file check to determine what, if any, documents may be found
[409]in FBI files relating to a request made by Mr. Doar in August
[410]1964 for information and Bureau action regarding members of the
[411]subject delegation. It is our understanding that Mr. Doar
[412]requested certain information from the FBI regarding this delé-
[413]gation in mid-August 1964; and that some information was delivered
[414]to the DOJ (either to Mr. Doar or then DAG Katzenbach) shortly
[415]thereafter, in the latter part of August 1964.
[417]matters in connection with the Senate Select Committee inquiry
[419](reference Appendix D, Item 7, 5/14/75 SSC request). The DAG a
[420]has also asked that, after such documentation as may be developed
[422]under (1) above has been located, the Bureau furnish to him its
[424]view as to the access/delivery to Mr. Doar of such documentation
[426]for the purpose of refreshing his recollection.

[479]the SSC requested certain information and documents from £
[481]the FBI.
[483]Appendix C, Item number 10, requested all memoranda
[484]and other materials relating to the elimination of the Liaison
[485]Section of the FBI in 1970 and its reestablishment in late
[486]1972.
[488]Among the enclosures to our letter to the Attorney
[489]General (AG), dated 6/13/75, being proposed for forwarding
[490]to the Committee is E. S. Miller memorandum to Mr. Felt,
[491]7/14/72. On page 2 there is information that "our close
[493]ton
[494]association with the Chief Postal Inspector and his top ea
[495]officials has resulted in that agency providing support in i i As
[496]some of our most delicate intelligence operations looking Ag
[497]to the identification of illegal hostile intelligence #
[499]activities in this country." This could possibly be construed
[500]. to include opening of mail. It is to be noted that opening
[501]| of mail by FBI is the subject of a separate SSC request and
[502]future correspondence with the SSC, through the AG, will
[503]address itself to this subject. Former Chief Postal Inspector
[504]Henry B. Montague , with whom we have had extensive dealings
[505]in the past, is scheduled to appear before the full SSC on
[506]6/12/75 and it is expected that he will be questioned 323]
[508]possible FBI participation in mail openings.

[1430]E11iff apologized for the submission of the 6/25/75 draft letter,
[1431]saying it was forced upon the Committee by the White House.
[1432]ccording to E11iff, the SSC has been aware that much of the
[1433]information requested from the Intelligence Community was being
[1434]eld up by the White House until such time as the SSC identified
[1435]specific abuses it was interested in investigating. As a result,
[1436]the attached draft was put together by the SSC to break the
[1437]logjam. E11iff admitted that much of the information requested
[1439]in the 6/25/75 draft letter was embodied in the request of 5/14/75.
[1441]For this reason, El1iff advised he contacted Mr. K. William
[1442]O'Connor, Special Counsel for Intelligence Coordination, Depart—
[1443]ment of Justice, on the morning of 6/30/75 to request a meeting
[1444]between himself, O'Connor, and Messrs Wannall, Mintz and Cregar.
[1446]+ The purpose of the’ meeting would be to allow E1lliff to clarify
[1447]the draft letter of 6/25/75.

[1536]Within the Committee mandate, contained in S. Res. 21,
[1537]there are four broad subjects relating to the intelligence
[1538]community which we are required to investigate and study in

[1553]“2. The structure, performance, and utility of
[1554]+ government operations with respect to
[1555]. intelligence activities;
[1557]2. Whether certain policies or practices are or
[1558]are not illegal, unethical, or otherwise
[1559]_ improper;
[1561]3. Whether there has or has not been excessive
[1562]' duplication or inadequate coordination. between
[1563]and among intelligence agencies and, more
[1564]generally, the efficiency of intelligence
[1565]activities; and
[1567]. 4. Whether there has or has not been adequate
[1568]“+ “internal and external control and oversight
[1569]over the policies and practices of intelli-
[1570]" gence agencies.
[1572]In attempting to find the answers to these fundamental
[1573]questions, the Committee is proceeding in two ways. First, we
[1574]are examining intelligence functions broadly as instruments
[1575]of government policy, giving attention to the authority for
[1576]particular functions, the problems which intelligence activi-
[1577]ties are designed to solve, the procedures by which intelli-
[1579]_ gence activities are and have been proposed, approved,
[1580]executed, evaluated, and terminated, the range and scope of
[1582], . the activities utilized to achieve intelligence objectives,
[1583]and the propriety and utility of the activities undertaken.
[1585]. Second, we will examine -in depth’ certain specific subjects
[1586]Within the broad topics of investigation. (We would, of
[1587]course, welcome your suggestion of other cases that would
[1588]give added insight into intelligence matters under your
[1589]jurisdiction.) These specific subjects for investigation
[1590]are not intended to limit the scope contained in the more
[1592]roneral ! guestic Ooms
[1594]Gye ie we RANE OD we de .
[1596]The annexed notifications spell these matters out in
[1597]- greater detail. In addition, they ask certain specific questions, |
[1598]set forth certain previously requested documents not yet received,
[1599]request additional documents,* and, in some cases, ask for the
[1600]names and present addresses of persons who have held certain

[1604]limit the agreement to come forward with all relevant
[1606]information and material, including documents, whether or
[1607].not they have been brougnt to the Committee's attention or
[1608]-have been specifically request ted by the Committce.

[1622]indicates, pursuant to the agreed Outline for Inquiry
[1623]Procedures, the matter primarily concerns allegations of abuse

[1849]The Committee is examining the legal basis for FBI
[1850]intelligence and counterintelligence activities.
[1851]There may be serious question as to the adequacy
[1852]of the present legislative framework for the FBI's
[1853]. functions in these fields. Current statutes
[1854]— ° authorize the FBI to perform investigative and law
[1855]enforcement functions, but they do not specifically
[1856]authorize intelligence or counterintelligence
[1857]activities. Therefore, the Committee seeks to
[1858]determine whether the FBI's authority should be

[2141]The Committee seeks to detérmine whether the
[2142]Attorney General should have the authority
[2144]to authorize electronic surveillance for cer-
[2145]tain purposes without a prior judicial warrant.
[2146]This power has been exercised by succeeding
[2147]Attorneys General since 1940, upon the explicit
[2148]directive of the President. The Supreme Court
[2149]has ruled that this power does not extend to

[2891]Clandestine Informant Activities
[2893]‘The Committee is examining-all aspects of the
[2895]FBI's use of informants, sources, and undercover
[2897]-personnel and the techniques employed by such per-
[2899]sons. Although informants are tne single most
[2900]productive source of intelligence information, the
[2901]difficulties of controlling their activities may
[2902]increase the possibility of improper conduct. The
[2903]use of informants to infiltrate organizations also
[2905]-may pose dangers to the right of associational pri-
[2907]vacy. Consequently, proposals have been made for
[2908]the imposition of a judicial warrant requirement
[2909]or other safeguards for the use of informants.
[2910]The Committee seeks to evaluate such proposals as
[2911]well as the contributions of informants to the
[2913]“accomplishment of legitimate objectives.
[2915]In addition, the Committee is examining informant
[2916]activities with respect to several particular situe-
[2917]tions and cases. This investigation may involve
[2918]specific allegations of abuse or tont#oversial
[2919]matters where there is reason to believe improprie-
[2920]ties may have occurred. The Committee's inquiry
[2921]covers the general circumstances surrounding the
[2923]‘following incidents or cases:
[2925]a. Wounded Knee;
[2926]b. Kent State; :
[2928]c.- New York v. Stroble (Attica);-

[2935]g. United States v. Marshall (Seattle). — so
[2937]’ Additional cases may also be examined.
[2939]‘ In addition to the above cases, the Committee is
[2940].examining the role of FBI informants in providing
[2942]information to the FBI concerning members of the

[3775]Angleton recently testified under oath before three
[3776]Senators and Staff Members of the Senate Select Committee (SSC).
[3777]He appeared without counsel. During his testimony, Angleton
[3778]was asked numerous questions concerning his knowledge of
[3779]Israeli capabilities to conduct intelligence collection in the
[3780]United States. Among the questions asked Angleton were questions
[3781]bearing on Israeli efforts to gather nuclear information in
[3782]the United States. Angleton indicated that the SSC apparently
[3783]is aware of Angleton's past close relationship with the Israelis,
[3784]and Angleton feels that the questions directed to him by the
[3785]SSC may be related to information provided to the Committee by

[3823]In addition, Angleton advised that certain questions

[3828]agency to direct such questions to. Finally, Angleton commented
[3829]that in the event the Bureau thought it desirable he would be
[3830]happy to personally brief the Director or other appropriate
[3831]Bureau official concerning his testimony. He commented that
[3832]he has not been asked to, nor has he offered to, brief William

[3842]2, It is not believed appropriate to request
[3843]Angleton to brief the Director or other Bureau official
[3844]concerning his testimony, particularly since Angleton has
[3845]not seen fit to brief his former superiors at CIA. A request
[3846]by the Bureau for a briefing by Angleton might be misconstrued

[4362]enclosed letter for Mr. Todd in response to his request. We
[4363]are having the San Francisco Office hand deliver the letter
[4364]so that any questions he may have can be answered.
[4366]We have not regarded requests for interviews as
[4367]"demands" within the meaning of 28 CFR 16.22; therefore, no
[4368]release from the Department is necessary.
[4370]Regarding his request for access to Bureau files,
[4371]we have not had former employees make this request previously.
[4372]Our position should be that they not have access but rather
[4373]rely on their recollection. If they cannot answer a specific
[4374]question, the Committee can be referred to the Bureau.

[4478]a A a a .
[4479]wit ye é.
[4481]Dear Mr. Kelley: . fo .
[4482]On this date Supervisor Berryman of the San Fran-
[4484]cisco Office read to me‘a teletype to the effect the Bureau
[4486]had approved a secrecy release for me to respond to questions
[4488]from Senate investigator Lester B, Seidel in connection with
[4490]a Senate Select Committee on Internal Security investigation
[4492]of the CoIntelPro as it related to the Black Panther Party, !
[4494]A copy of a letter from me to Mr. Seidel has been furnished 4
[4496]to the Bureau previously.
[4498]At the time I was designated supervisor of the ‘squad
[4499]handling internal security investigations of the Black Panther
[4500]Party (BPP), the BPP was international in scope; Eldridge
[4501]Cleaver and others had been granted asylum in Algeria; the
[4502]BPP had support and/or branches in France, Germany, Scandinavia
[4503]and China, Aspects of the counter intelligence program
[4504]approved by the Bureau of which I am aware were directed against .“2
[4505]some BPP foreign operations, Thus, interrogation by the Senate A
[4506]investigator may involve information disseminated to other "
[4507]government agencies under security classification and may soft
[4509]touch on foreign policy as well,
[4510]Therefore, prior to furnishing information obtained
[4512]in an official capacity to Mr. Seidel, who according to the
[4513]Bureau's teletype will be in San Francisco in about two weeks,
[4514]I would like written confirmation of the release which was
[4515]furnished me orally, preferably an official document covering
[4516]any Secrecy agreement made with the Bureau as well as releasing
[4517]me from the provisions of any applicable executive orders which
[4518]preclude disclosure of official information without approval of
[4519]the Attorney General or an authorized Departmental officer,
[4521]I would also appreciate being advised if there is any limitation
[4523]on the scope of the material which I may release,
[4525]Since the Bureau's teletype also approved a
[4526]release for current SAC Charles Bates, this presupposes he
[4527]will be authorized to furnish Mr. Seidel with the contents of

[5208]PURPOSE:
[5210]To advise that representatives of Intelligence
[5211]Division this date reviewed 693-page CIA document containing
[5212]information relating to joint ventures involving CIA and
[5213]other members of intelligence community in sensitive matters,
[5214]and a specific request has been made for CIA to furnish this
[5215]Bureau with copies of all material contained therein believed
[5216]to have a bearing on FBI activities.
[5218]DETAILS:
[5220]By memorandum 6/24/75 you were advised that
[5221]arrangements had been effected whereby a CIA representative
[5222]would on 6/25/75 bring to FBIHQ a copy of the 693-page document
[5223]containing a series of memoranda and reports prepared by CIA
[5224]citing instances wherein CIA may have engaged in activities
[5225]outside the perimeter of its charter. As you have been advised,
[5226]members of the Senate Select Committee (SSC) have had prior i
[5227]access to this document and it contains numerous references vy
[5228]to FBI-CIA joint ventures, some of which are of an extremely
[5229]sensitive nature. CIA Director William Colby authorized a
[5230]review of this document and agreed to this Bureau obtaining
[5231]a copy of material contained therein believed pertinent to
[5233]this Bureau's operations.

[5269]and Special Agents Leon F. Schwartz and Thomas J. McNiff
[5270]in Room 4123 JEH.
[5272]Material contained therein runs the entire gambit

[5274]Bureau sensitive operations in foreign intelligence field,
[5275]to CIA involvement in domestic affairs including cooperation
[5276]with police departments and other Federal agencies. In all,
[5277]it was determined that approximately 174 pages of the document
[5278]contain information which in some respect has a bearing on
[5279]this Bureau's operations.
[5281]Pertinent page numbers were identified to
[5282]Mrs. Mowitt and she is taking this Bureau's request for these
[5283]pages back to CIA Headquarters for the purpose of obtaining
[5284]authorization to furnish this Bureau with copies of the
[5285]pages in which this Bureau is interested, Mrs. Mowitt
[5286]advised that she would insure our request in this respect
[5287]received expeditious attention and she will furnish us with
[5288]the results at the earliest time.
[5290]RECOMMENDATION:
[5292]None. Above submitted for information. You will

[5345]Attached is a FD 302 reporting a conversation
[5347]SA Paul V. Daly had with Mr. Paul Wallach, staff member of
[5349]United States Senate Select GoniiTEEee” on” Intelligence
[5351]Activities. The gist of the conversation is that Mr. Wallach
[5353]informed SA Daly that he had a list of national security
[5355]Inail covers which cover the last five years and that he would
[5357]use this list for committee business including for interview
[5359]purposes if the Bureau did not promptly comply with the Committee's
[5361]request for a list of mail covers.
[5363]The contents of the attached FD 302, were: orahly furnished
[5364]on 6-18-75 to Deputy Special Counsel for Intelligence Coordination,
[5365]Michael Shaheen of the Department. Mr. Shaheen and Mr. O'Connor,
[5366]Special Counsel for Intelligence Coordination, contacted
[5367]F. A. O. Schwartz, Chief Counsel to the Senate Select Committee,
[5368]to protest Mr. Wallach's actions. Mr. Wallach denied, in a
[5369]conversation with Mr. O'Connor, that he had stated he had such
[5370]a list to SA Daly. Subsequent to this conversation with
[5371]Mr. O'Connor, and on the same day according to Mr. Shaheen,
[5373]Wallach called Shaheen and told Shaheen that he wanted to talk
[5375]to him off the record, at which point Mr. Wallach stated that | i;
[5376]he had access to a list of mail covers through a source of his, f
[5377]but did not have possession of same. He also stated that he wos
[5378]may have suggested to SA Daly that he had such a list. ne
[5380]Mr. Shaheen stated that it was obvious that Wallach
[5381]could not be trusted and remarked that the Department had been
[5382]keeping book on him. Shaheen informed SA Daly that Wallach

[5404]had authorized the release of all national security mail covers,
[5405]and requested Cox furnish same to him. According to Shaheen,
[5407]Cox then contacted the White House to determine if Wallach's
[5409]story was in fact true, at which time James Wilderotter, Assistant
[5410]Counsel to the President, advised that Wallach's name was unfamiliar
[5411]to him, and that -he. had not been given authority to obtain
[5412]national security mail covers. Mr. Shaheen stated he, at the
[5413]direction of Mr. O'Connor, was furnishing the Bureau in writing, a
[5414]report of his conversations with Wallach and also stated that
[5415]O'Connor stated he would no longer have any dealings with Wallach
[5416]because of the obvieus unethical conduct and lack of honesty on
[5417]Wallach's part.

[5484]FD-302 (REV. 11-27-70)
[5488]FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
[5490]6-18-75
[5492]Date of transcription
[5494]Mr. Paul Wallach, staff member of the United States Senate
[5495]Select Committee on Intelligence Activities, telephonically contacted me on
[5496]6-18-75 between 2:30 and 3 o'clock P,M., and inquired as to the status of a
[5497]request by the Committee concerning mail cover information, He asked if I
[5498]Could furnish him a time when he might expect our response to be delivered
[5499]to him. He pointed out that he had had previous discussions with me and
[5500]Mr. Shaheen of the Department concerning this matter, and Mr. Shaheen
[5501]had indicated to him that he could expect the response to have been given to
[5502]him by this time. Mr. Wallach was informed that a time certain for
[5503]delivery of a response concerning this request could not be given, and it
[5504]was explained to him that a vast amount of material was being reviewed
[5505]pursuant to request of the Senate Select Committee and other committees of
[5506]Congress and that because of the amount of work involved in all these requests
[5507]it was not possible to make a judgment as to the date of the response,
[5509]Mr. Wallach indicated he felt he had been misled by Mr. Shaheen
[5510]into believing that he would have a response to his request and that he was
[5511]going to recontact Mr. Shaheen. He made a general inquiry as to whether one
[5512]Agent might be gathering all the information and as to whether he might be
[5513]allowed to come to FBI Headquarters and review what has been gathered to
[5514]this point, He was informed that all disclosures have to receive proper
[5515]Bureau approval and that it would not be possible for him to review such
[5516]information in the absence of such approval. He asked if the Bureau could
[5517]separate the response by making available immediately portions. of the mail
[5518]cover lists such as the identities of people who were the targets of mail
[5519]covers in the domestic field. He again was informed that this was not
[5520]possible in the absence of proper approval. Mr. Wallach stated that he
[5521]wanted me to know that he was in possession of a list of Bureau mail covers
[5522]for the past five years which he had been furnished by a source whom he did
[5523]not identify. He was asked (1) if this list concerned the mail covers in the
[5524]national security areas and, (2) was it a national list. Mr. Wallach stated it
[5525]was a national list in the national security areas. He stated he was not sure
[5526]of its accuracy. He indicated that he would have no reservations about using
[5527]the list to conduct the Senate Select Committee business and stated that inter-
[5528]views may be conducted based on the list.
[5530]Interviewed on 6-18-75 at Washington, D, on i

[5535]it and its contents ore not to be distributed outside your agency.
[5537]NW 88326 Docid:32989611 Page 38
[5540]He was advised that the list would contain sensitive information
[5541]which would seriously impair ongoing Bureau investigations. He replied that
[5542]the names were not classified, and since they were not classified he would
[5543]have no problem in using the list. It was explained to Mr. Wallach that
[5544]despite the-fact it was not classified the list would be extremely sensitive
[5545]Since it would impair many ongoing investigations and in many instances the
[5546]very fact that we are interested in an individual indicates that we are in
[5547]possession of sensitive information concerning that individual, Mr. Wallach
[5548]pointed out that if this were the case, acknowledging that he had been informed
[5549]previously that one of the reasons for the necessity for closely reviewing the
[5550]material to be made available was because of this problem, then the Bureau
[5551]should come forward with its own list and point out to him which of the names
[5552]are sensitive and which are not. Mr. Wallach stated that only one or two
[5553]other people had knowledge of the fact he possessed such a list.

[5824]ased by Mr. Hoover since it was most convenient to his private
[5825]office. Mr. Mohr stated that Mr. Gitenstein had attempted to draw
[5826]a chart of Mr. Hoover's office. Since that chart was a poor one,
[5827]Mr. Giteastein asked Mr. Mohr to draw a rough chart of the office,
[5828]which Mr. Mohr did. Mr. Mohr recalls that he inadvertently omitted
[5830]of little or no significance tc the questioners since it contained only
[5832]and no files. Mr. Mohr said concerning the back door to
[5833]Mr, Hoover's office, that interviewers were informed that persons
[5834]visiting Mr. Hoover were not brought through this back door, which
[5835]was for Mr. Hoover's use.

[5862]U. & SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES
[5863]RE: INTERVIEW OF HELEN W. GANDY
[5865]- Migs Gandy was asked whether files were kept in the
[5866]Telephone Room and answered that the only files kept there were
[5867]background material necessary to the functioning of that office. She
[5868]was asked if a record was kept of telephone calls and visitors to the
[5869]Director. She replied that a daily log was maintained, and that these
[5870]logs were permanently filed ta the main Bureau files.
[5872]Miss Gandy waa eaked if files were kept in the office
[5873]of the mail clerk, Miss Mooney. She answered "yea," and described
[5874]these files as mainly photograph files and scrapbooks.
[5876]Concerning the mail in Mr. Hoover's office, Mr. Mohr
[5877]said Mr. Gitenstein raised a question about "Expedite Processing” of
[5878]mail, to which Miss Gandy replied that the personal and confidential
[5879]mail for Mr. Hoover was handled by Miss Mooney and that she,
[5881]Miss Gandy, was not aware of just how this mail was handled. Mr. Mohr
[5882]aaid he explained to the questioners that this mail was received in the
[5883]Routing Unit of the Records and Communications Division and was
[5885]taken unopened to Miss Mooney, who opened it. The clerical employee
[5886]who brought the mail then logged it and stamped "Expedite Processing”
[5887]on the left-hand edge. Then, the clerical employee would take the loz
[5888]back to the Routing Unit and whes the mail was subsequently returned
[5890]to the Routing Unit for regular filing purposes, the item whuld be crossed
[5891]off the log. Mr. Mohr said Mr. Giteastein wanted to know if the
[5892]“Expedite Processing” logs were maintained permanently and Mr. Mohr
[5893]answered that to his knowledge the logs were not kept after the itema
[5895]on a particular log had been accounted for.
[5897]Mr. Mohr said that Mias Gandy was asked about
[5898]procedures regarding Mr. Hoover's commitments and she explained
[5899]that each morning the employees in the Telephone Room prepared a
[5900]“commitment card" of Mr. Hoover's commitments for the day and this
[5901]card was placed on Mr. Hoover's desk the first thing in the morning

[5911]for his information. Miss Gandy told the questioners that she received
[5912]a copy of the commitment card and that these cards were not retained
[5913]permanently. Mr. Mohr said that it was explained to the interviewers
[5914]that the Bureau had an instruction that items of a temporary nature
[5915]were to be destroyed after they were 90 days old and Mias Gandy
[5916]indicated to the interviewers that commitment cards were in this
[5917]eategory. Mr. Mohr eaid Mias Gandy was queried at length as to
[5918]just how Telephone Room employees got their information to make
[5920]up the commitment card and she explained that all employees in
[5922]Mr. Hoover's office made certain the Telephone Room employees were
[5923]promptly advised of all Mr. Hoover's commitments as they were made.
[5925]Further, coneerning the Telephone Room, Mr. Mohr
[5926]said the interviewers were informed that calis for Mr. Hoover were
[5927]recetved in the Burean switchboard and were thee referred to the
[5928]Telephone Room in Mr. Hoover's office. The employees in the Tele-
[5929]phone Room connected Mr. Hoover with the calla. Mr. Mohr said
[5930]the interviewers asked whether the Telephone Room “screened”
[5932]Mr. Hoover's calls and that they were informed that the Telephone
[5933]Room did aot “sereen" them except for "nut" calla.
[5935]Miss Gandy said she informed interviewers, in response
[5936]to questions, that she did receive calls from persons wishing to speak
[5937]with Mr. Hoover and if he was in his office, the calls would be transferred
[5938]to his Telephone Room. She said Mr. Gitenstein made a remark about
[5939]a special telephone connection between Mr. Hoover and former Attorney
[5940]General Rebert Kennedy and also remarked that Mr. Hoover and former
[5941]Attorney General John Mitchell also had a special telephone connection.
[5942]Misa Gandy said she corrected Mr. Gitenstein immediately by informing
[5943]him that po special telephone connection existed with any Attorney
[5944]General except Attorney General Kennedy.
[5946]Concerning the OC files maintained in Mr. Hoover's
[5947]office suite, Miss Gandy said she informed the interviewers that these
[5948]files were kept in a locked file cabinet and occupied about one and

[5958]one half or two file drawers. In answer to questions from the
[5959]interviewers, Miss Gandy said she informed them that on the day of
[5960]Mr. Hoover's death she spoke with Mr. Clyde Tolson, who was then
[5961]Acting Director of the FBI, and with Mr. Mobr and asked to whom
[5962]she should deliver the OC files and other Bureau material contained
[5963]in Mr. Hoover's office.
[5965]Mr. Toleon tnatructed that the OC files and all other
[5966]Bureau material such as interesting cases, monographs and manuals
[5967]be delivered to Mr. Mark Felt who then was Assistant Director-Deputy
[5968]Associate Director of the FBI Miss Gandy said she was exhaustively
[5969]questioned by Mr. Epstein as to whether she called Mr. Tolson or he
[5970]ealled her and concerning Mr. Tolson‘s location at the time.
[5972]arrived at Mr. Hoover's house on the morning of Mr. Hoover's death.
[5973]She answered that Mr. Tolsos arrived there soon after Mr. Hoover's
[5974]body waa discovered. Miss Gandy said she asked the interviewers if
[5975]they desired more details of that morning and was told that they did not.
[5977]Miss Gandy said she told the interviewers that Mr. Tolson‘s
[5979]delivered the cartons to Mr. Felt's office and answered that she
[5980]believed that the delivery was handled by messengers or maintenance
[5981]persennel, but indicated she was not certain about this.
[5983]Miss Gandy said she told the interviewers that as soon
[5984]L. Patrick Gray Il was named to head the FBI, Mr. Felt
[5985]brought him to the Director's office to afford him an idea of the office
[5986]setup, After Mr. Gray indicated a very special interest in the files in
[5987]her office, the contents of these files were explained to him and he

[5998]drawer and obviously was satisfied that they contained personal
[5999]correapondeace caly and was also satisfied that the Burean material
[6000]had been delivered to Mr. Felt.
[6002]Miss Gandy said one of the interviewers remarked that
[6003]there appeared to be more OC files than had been indicated aad that a
[6004]larger number had been given to Attorney General Levi. She responded
[6005]that she weuld not know whether other files had been added to the group
[6006]after they had been delivered to Mr. Felt. Mr. Citenstein, she said,
[6007]attempted to show her a pamphiet apparently containing testimony of
[6008]the Attorney General which described certain of the files in question.
[6009]Mr. Gitenstein asked her about specific cases ia the OC files and she
[6010]told him that after three years she would not presume to try to
[6011]remember specifies. Mr. Gitenstein asked if there was a file containing
[6012]reports from the Washington Field Office. She told him that she
[6013]| certainly would not remember such a file, if one existed.
[6015]Miss Gandy said there was much questioning about the
[6016]index cards which pertained to ihe OC ities. She told the interviewers
[6017]that they were filed in one index file, that cards of a different color
[6018]were used and that this index file was lecked.
[6020]Mise Gandy said she told the interviewers that strictly
[6021]of Mr. Hoover had been contained in the file
[6023]cabinets in her office and that from time to time during the past fifty
[6024]years, files which were no longer current were eliminated. Co:
[6025]the destruction of Mr. Hoover's personal correspondence, she told
[6026]interviewers that on the day of Mr. Hoover's death, ashe advised
[6027]Mr. Tolson of Mr. Hoover's expressed instruction that his personal
[6028]correspondence be destroyed, that Mr. Hoover had begua a review of

[6065]RE: INTERVIEW OF H&LEN W. GANDY
[6067]Mr. Mohr said that Migs Gandy, when she was
[6068]describing to the interviewers exactly how Mr. Hoover's personal
[6069]correspondence files were destroyed, said she reviewed each item
[6070]that she handied to make cure that it was act related to Bureau
[6072]these files, but Mies Gandy did aot mention that Mrs. Metcalf made
[6073]the same type of review and Miss Gandy was not questioned
[6074]whether Mrs. Metcalf made such a review as she went through the
[6075]files and helped destroy them.
[6077]Mr. Mohr said that daring the interview a rather heated
[6078]conversation occurred over some of the questions which seemed to be
[6079]repetitious aad irrelevant. Mr. Mohr said he told Mr. Gitenstein he
[6081]felt t% was high time the around the bash”
[6082]and come to the point by asking Mise Gandy if she ever destroyed any
[6083]official . Mr. Gitensteia that they had a
[6085]concerning
[6086]that My. Mark Felt had five two-drawer cabinets marked
[6087]“O and C Files” im his office. Miss Gandy on the other hand told

[6094]had said had been interviewed by him aad had heen cooperative.
[6096]Mr. Mohr said he had previously explained to

[6114]official who had files in his office that he considered confidential
[6116]and relating to the Bureau's work would immediately transfer such
[6117]files to Mr. Felt and prepare 2 memorandum atating exactly what
[6118]was transferred to Mr. Felt. Mr. Mohr said he told Mr. Gitenstein
[6119]he, Mr. Mohr, had no idea how many files Mr. Felt collected as a
[6120]result of Mr. Hoover's instruction. Mr. Mohr said it was interesting
[6121]to note that he was not asked at any time whether he had turned over
[6122]any {les to Mr. Felt in connection with Mr. Hoover's instructions.
[6124]Mr. Mobr stated that Miss Gandy was asked during
[6125]her interview whether there were any files of Mr. Hoover's personal
[6126]correspondence ia Mr. Boover’s former home at the present time and
[6128]Miss Gandy replied ,"no."

[6135]f
[6137]ure in office. Mr. Epstein seemed to pay a great deal
[6138]of attention to the title Executive Assistant and Mr. Mohr attempted to
[6139]explain to him that the title was a Civil Service Commisaion (CSC) title
[6140]and that Miss Gandy's position was set up wader the Classification Act
[6141]administered by the CSC. Mr. Mohr said he was not sure what was
[6142]behind Mr. Epotein's lengthy questioning about this title, but Mr. Mohr
[6143]got the impression that Mr. Epstein may have been trying to find out
[6144]if Miss Gandy acted for Mr. Hoover on her own initiative. Mr. Mohr
[6145]said this was just a guess on his part.
[6147]Miss Gandy said that at one point during the interview,
[6148]the questions concerned Mr. Hoover's being advised of Bureau matters.
[6149]She said the interviewers were told by her and by Mr. Mohr that
[6150]Mr. Hoover was never out of towch with the Bureau, day or night,

[6216]John P. Mohr
[6217]Helen W. Gandy
[6219]The first questions concerned the set-up of the Director's
[6220]office suite. Special interest was indicated in the rear
[6221]exit of the suite and it was explained that this exit was
[6222]used by the Diredtor as it was most convenient to his private
[6223]office. Hr. Mohr also mentioned the kitchen and lavatory,
[6225]as the questioners appeared to be completely unfamiliar with
[6226]the arrangement of the suite.
[6228]Next, the conferente room was described and in answer to
[6229]questions the use of the conference room was explained - also,
[6230]information was given re the contents of the bookcases in this
[6231]roon, ie, miscellaneous books; the Criminal Code volumns;
[6232]the ring binders of Interesting Cases.
[6233]Numerous questio ns were asked:
[6234]How often did the Director call conferences of
[6235]the officials of the Bureau =
[6236]what were the purposesof these conferences «
[6237]v '. Just who attended them -
[6238]were they called by the Director « and was this
[6239]at set and regular intervals.
[6240]Mr. Mohr explained that tle Dire¢tor from time to time,
[6241]as he reviewed matters of policy and like matters that
[6242]came to his attention, made notes which he discussed with
[6243]the officials, giving them his ideas on these matters and
[6244]in turn listening to their views. These sessions considered
[6245]Oxer all matters re Bureau administration and policy.
[6247]Three; The physical set-up of the office of the Executive
[6250]I was asked re the number of file cases in my office -
[6252]I answered that I could not, at this date, be positive,
[6254]but I believe there were approximately ten or twelve fire-
[6256]drawer cabinets =
[6257]What were the contents of these cabinets and where
[6258]were the so-called o.c. files ~ were the o.¢. files
[6259]contained in combination locked cabinets +
[6260]I. answered that all of the cabinets in my office were
[6261]~ secured with special locks and key, and that the key was
[6262]kept in a special locked keyecabinet in this office.
[6263]Questionsedid I receive calls for the Director from
[6264]his friends and others, and did I transfer them to
[6265]. his desk; did I make memoranda of such calls; did I
[6266]. . Keep a diary; (Mr. Gitenstein made a remark re a
[6267]- ' ‘* speelal telephone connection between the Director
[6268]and "Bobby", apparently thought better of it, and
[6269]'Pemarked that Mr. Mitchell hada Such a connection)
[6271]cB newer OEE!

[6279]@ o .
[6281]He was immediately corrected by me to the effect
[6283]that no such commection existed with Attorneys
[6285]General other than Attorney General Kennedy.
[6286]I answered that I did receive calls from persons wishing
[6287]to speak with the Director; that, if he were in his office,
[6288]such calls.would be transferred to the Director's Office
[6289]telephone room to be connected with the Director if he
[6290]should be in his office and could take the call. (Here
[6291]Mr, Mohr explained in @tail the system of handling tele~
[6292]phone calls in the Director's office and the functions of
[6293]the FBI telephone switchboard. )
[6295]It was explained that the file cabinets in my office
[6296]contained strictly personal correspondence of the Director};
[6297]that from time to time during the past fifty years files
[6298]which were no longer current were -eliminated,
[6300]_ Re the sowcalled o.c. files-~ it wag explained that. these
[6302]files were lecated in one of the lecked cabinets; that there
[6304]~~ were, possibly one and a half or two file drawers of these.
[6306]In answer to questioning it was explained that on the day
[6308]. Of Mr. Hoover's death I spoke with both. Mr, Tolson, who at
[6310]that time was Acting Director, and Mr. Mohr, and asked for
[6311]instructions as. te whom I should deliver the official-
[6312]confidential files and other Bureau material contained in
[6313]the Director's offices. I also advised Mr. Tolson of
[6315]Mr. Hoover's expressed instructions that his personal
[6316]correspondence be destroyed, and that he, Mr. Hoover, had
[6317]begun 4 review of these personal files sometime previaus to
[6318]his death, and some already had been destroyed. Mr. Tolson
[6319]instructed that the official-confidential files and all
[6320]other Bureau material, ie, Interesting Cases;. monographs,
[6321]Menuels, be delivered to Mr. Mark Felt. (Here, I was asked
[6322]Where the Bureau material was kept and answered that booke
[6323]cases in my offme were used for this purpose.
[6325]I was exhaustively questioned by Mr. Epstein as to whether -
[6326]ZI called Mr. Tolson (and where he was. located at the time)
[6328]- or whether Mr. Tolson called me. I told him that at this
[6330]late date I had no idea as to who called whom, but that he
[6331]Was assured that Mr. Tolson and I communicated. I also was
[6332]asked when Mr. Tolson ary ved at Mr. Hoover's house on the
[6333]morning in question and/Wis told Mr. Tolson arrived after
[6335]Mr. Hoover's body was discovered. (I asked if more details
[6337]of that morning were desired and was told no.)
[6339]I explained that instructions were immediately carried out;
[6340]the o.c. files, with the*index cards pertaining to them,
[6341]together with the above mentioned Bureau material, was placed
[6342]in cartons and delivered to Mr. Felt. I was asked who carried
[6343]these cartins to Mr. Felt's office and said I could not at
[6344]this date answer this but I believe they would nave been
[6345]carried by either messengers or maintenance personnel.
[6347]“There was quite much questioning here as to how and where the
[6348]index cards were filed, It was explained that they were filed
[6350]&“ 4n the one index file, cards of a different color being used,
[6352]and that this file also was locked. .
[6354]| NW 88326 Docld:32989611 Page 117
[6359]NW 88326 Docid:32969611 Page 118
[6361]In connection with the above authorizations it was
[6362]explained that as soon as Mr. Gray was named as the
[6364]new Director Mr. Felt brought him to the Director's
[6365]office to afford him an idea of the office setup;
[6367]that Mr. Gray indicatéd a very special interest in
[6369]the files in my office; that their contents were ex=
[6370]plained to him and that he was invited to view the:
[6371]contents. He did glance thru a drawer and obviously
[6373]was satisfied that they contained personal correspondence
[6374]anly, and was also satisfied that the Bureau material had-
[6375]been delivered to Mr. Felt. One of the questioners
[6376]remarked that there appeared to be more o.c. files than
[6378]le had been indicated; that a larger number had been given
[6380]to Attorney General Levi....I remarked that I would not
[6381]lmow whether other files had been added to the Broup
[6382]after they had been delivered to Mr. Felt. Mr. Gitenstein
[6383]then attempted to show me a pamphlet indicating what
[6384]appeared tb be testimony of the Attorney General describing
[6385]certain of the files in question and asked questions re
[6386]specific cases which were contained in the o.c. files. I
[6387]told him I would not presume, after three years, to try
[6388]to remember specifics. He asked if there were a file
[6389]containing reports from the Washington Field Office. I'°: |
[6390]told him «certainly I would not remmamber such a file, if
[6391]orie existed.
[6392]To. questions regarding the destruction of personal |
[6393]correspondence files I explained that up until the
[6394]time I left the Bureau I continued to tear up and dee .
[6395]posit the contents of these files in the "confidential
[6396]trash" waste baskets; (Mr. Mohr here explained this _
[6397]. method of disposal.) that I had asked Mr. Gray if, in
[6399]"order to vacate the office as soon as possible for his
[6400]convenience, I could have his approval to send to
[6401]Mr. Hoover's house files which could not be disposed of
[6402]before my date of retirement and finish the taskthere.
[6403]He did not hesitate to give me this peimission. (Mr. Felt,
[6404]who was present when I spoke with Mr. Gray (in my office)
[6405]suggested that a locked room on the fifth floor, with a
[6406]key only I would have, could be made available so the files
[6407]would be disposed off without moving. . «° .1 said that
[6408]would not be necessary and Mr. Gray agreed. At this point
[6409]Mr. Gitenstein asked me if I thought I might not be the
[6410]only one with a key. I asked him what he would have thought
[6411]and he smiled and said he would have thought that.
[6413]Four: Questions were asked, in further connection with the
[6415]set-up of the office and personnel.
[6416]The office of the Office Manager (Miss Holmes). Did she
[6417]have file cases in her office. The answer was "no".
[6418]The office of the secretary to the Office Manager (Miss McCord)
[6419]Were there files in her office and if so what ai
[6421]u- The answer was "yes" and the contents were material necessary
[6422]for use by the Office Manager in connection with her super=
[6423]vision of the office personnel, antixmaintaintugexkbe and
[6424]maintainance.
[6426]The reception room. The function of
[6427]explained. the receptionist was
[6429]d they contain.
[6432]The telephone room. Here, again, close questioning re
[6434]files kept in this office. Assurance was given that
[6436]the only files kept here were background material necessary
[6438]to the functioning of the office. Questions were asked
[6440]if records were made of telephone calls and visitors to
[6442]the Director. Information was given that a daily log was
[6444]maintained, and it was described. Question was asked re
[6446]where and how long the logs were maintained. Answer was
[6447]“ that they were permanently filed in the main Bureau files.
[6449]Mail clerk's (Miss Mooney) office. Were there files here?
[6451]Answer was yes, mainly photograph files and also the
[6453]serap books.
[6455]. The names of Miss Holmes - Mrs. Metcalf - Miss McCord ~
[6456]Ron Thompson and Miss Mooney were requested and given.
[6458]At one point during the sessions in being questioned re the
[6459]y’ Director's being advised of Bureau matters the questioners were
[6460]told by both Mr. Mohr and me that Mr. Hoover never was out of
[6461]touch with the Bureau, day or night, whether in town or out of
[6462]own, ;
[6464]Also, I said at a point when the questioning appeared to be
[6465]getting pretty @ar afield, if what they were trying to learn
[6466]- was whether there was contained in the o.c. files anything that

[6503]RE: MISS GANDY'S QUESTIONING BY SENATE
[6504]SELECT COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING
[6505]FEDERAL AGENCIES WITH INTELLIGENCE-
[6506]GATHERING FUNCTIONS
[6508]Miss Gandy and I appeared before the staff of the
[6509]subcommittee for questioning on May 15, 1975, our appointment
[6510]being set for 10:30 a.m. The group consisting of Messrs. Gitenstein,
[6511]Epstein and M. 8. Talley immediately proceeded to the former
[6512]Carroll Arms Apartment building which is now used as an office
[6513]building by the U.S. Senate. We were taken to the sixth floor where
[6514]we entered an empty office which contained telephone equipment,
[6515]some chairs, and a desk.
[6517]Mr. Gitenstein had apparently drawn up a list of
[6518]questions he wished to discuss with Miss Gandy and he referred to
[6519]this list throughout the questioning period.
[6521]There is attached a rough draft memorandum
[6522]consisting of four pages and dated May 15, 1975, which was prepared by
[6523]Miss Gandy concerning her recollection of what transpired during
[6524]the interview. The interview, incidentaily, lasted until
[6525]1p.m. when a one-hour break was taken for lunch. The session
[6526]reconvened at 2 p.m. and was terminated at 3 p.m.
[6529]I am setting forth hereafter in numbered paragraphs
[6530]d stems which I recollect transpired during the interview which
[6531]= should be helpful in embellishing Miss Gandy's me morandum.
[6533](1) During the early part of the questioning, Mz. ‘Gitenstein
[6534]attempted to draw a chart of Mr. Hoover's office in the Department of
[6535]Justice building. He said he had previously visited Mr. Kelley's suite in
[6536]the Justice Building. His effort at charting the office was poor at best
[6537]and he requested my assistance. A rough chart was drawn showing
[6538]Mr. Hoover's personal office on one end and Miss Mooney's office on
[6539]the other end. In making up the chart I inadvertently left out the supply
[6540]room which, of course, would have been of little or no significance to
[6541]the questioners since this room contained supplies only and no files.
[6543]V2- Ib 378-217
[6545].> sc ANSUSS
[6548](2) Sometime during the interview, Mr. Gitenstein
[6549]raised a question about Expedite Processing" of mail and how it was
[6550]handled in Mr. Hoover's office. Miss Gandy pointed out that the
[6551]handling of personal and confidential mail for Mr. Hoover was
[6552]handled by Miss Mooney and she, Miss Gandy, was 6 . .
[6553]just how this mail was handled. I explained that ae R Spee and, confidential
[6554]in the Routing Unit of the Records and Communications Division
[6555]was taken unopened to Miss Mooney in Mr. Hoover's office where
[6556]she opened this mail and the clerical employee who brought the mail
[6557]down then logged it in and stamped the mail "Expedite Processing"
[6558]on the left-hand edge. Thereafter the clericd employee would take
[6559]the log baek to the Routing Unit and when the mail was subsequently
[6560]returned to the Routing Unit for regular filing purposes the item
[6561]would be crossed off the log. Mr. Gitenstein wanted to know
[6562]if the "Expedite Processing" logs were maintained permanently and
[6563]he was informed that to my knowledge they were not kept after accounting
[6564]for the particular items of mail contained on the particular log.
[6566](3) Mr. Epstein qiestioned Miss Gandy at length
[6567]concerning her title as "Executive Assistant.'’ He wanted to know when
[6568]she acquired this title and she said she could not recall. He wanted
[6569]to know whether anyone else at the FBI had occupied this position and
[6570]Miss Gandy explained that she was the only employee with the
[6571]title of Executive Assistant who had served under Mr. Hoover during
[6572]. his tenure in office. Mr. Epstein seemed to pay a great deal of
[6574]a attention to the title Executive Assistant and I endeavored to explain
[6575]to him that the title was a Civil Service Commission title and that
[6576]Miss Gandy's position.was set up under the Classification Act administered
[6577]by the Civil Service Commission. Although I am not sure what was
[6578]behind Mr. Epstein's lengthy questioning about! this matter, I got the
[6579]impression he might be trying to find out if Miss Gandy acted for Mr. Hoover
[6580]on her own initiative. This is just a guess on my part andI am not sure
[6582]: what was behind his questioning.
[6584](4) During Miss Gandy's description of the various
[6585]offices, she did mention specifically the fact that the interesting case
[6586]files were maintained on the shelves in the big conference room in black
[6588]folders. They asked what the interesting case files consisted of and I
[6589]explained this to their satisfaction; namely, that they were writeups of
[6590]closed cases which might be of itt erest for various purposes.
[6592]NW 8326 Dochd:32989611 Page 121
[6595]NW 88326 Dochd:32989611 Page 122 -3-
[6597](5) I should mention that Miss Gandy in describing exactly
[6598]how Mr. Hoover's personal correspondence files were destroyed said
[6599]she reviewed each item that she handled to make sure that it was not
[6600]related to Bureau official business. She had previously indicated
[6601]that Mrs. Erma Metcalf had assisted her in destroying these files
[6602]but she did not mention that Mrs. Metcalf endulged in the same type of review and
[6603]Miss Gandy was not questioned whether Mrs. Metcalf had made sucha
[6604]review as she went through the files and helped destroy them.
[6606](6) Both Mr. Gitenstein and Mr. Epstein queried Miss Gandy
[6607]at length about the log kept in the Telephone Room of all calls taken by
[6608]Mr. Hoover. They also queried her at length concerning a log that was
[6609]kept in the Telephone Room of all visitors to FBI Headquarters who were
[6610]seen by Mr. Hoover. Miss Gandy explained that these logs, to her knowledge,
[6611]were currently retained in the regular Bureau file room.
[6613](7) Miss Gandy was asked regarding Mr. Hoover's commitments
[6614]and she explained that each morning the employees in the Telephone Room
[6615]prepared a commitment card of Mr. Hoover's commitments for the day
[6616]and this card was placed on Mr. Hoover's desk the first thing in the
[6617]morning for his information. Miss Gandy reported that she received a
[6618]copy of this commitment card. She was asked whether these commitment
[6619]cards were réained permanently and she replied in the negative. Somewhere
[6620]along the line it was explained to the interviewers that the Bureau had an
[6621]instruction that all items of a temporary nature, such as ticklers and the
[6622]' like were to be destroyed after they were 90 days old. Miss Gandy
[6623]indicated these commitment cards would have come under this category
[6624]for destruction. Miss Gandy was queried at length as to just how the
[6625]Telephone Room employees got their information to make up the commitment
[6626]_ ecard and she explained that all employees in Mr. Hoover's office made
[6627]certain the Telephone Room employees were promptly advised of all of
[6628]Mr. Hoover's commitments as they were made.
[6630](8) In explaining the telephone set-up in the Department of Justice
[6631]building as far as iit related to the FBI, the Staff members were informed
[6632]that calls for Mr. Hoover were received in the Bur eau's switchboard and
[6633]were then referred to the Telephone Room in Mr. Hoover's office and the
[6634]employees in the Telephone Room handled the problem of connecting
[6635]Mr. Hoover with the caller. They wanted to know whether employees in
[6636]the Telephone Room screened Mr. Hoover's telephone calls and they were
[6637]informed Telephone Room employees did not screen them except for "nut"
[6638]calls.
[6640](9) During a rather heated conversation inthe afternoon
[6641]YY about some of the questioning being done vhich seemed to be repetitious and
[6644]Fey tee
[6645]. . @
[6646]® y
[6648]my *
[6650]Be .
[6652]irrelevant, Mr. Gitenstein was told by me that I felt it was high time
[6653]the questioners quit "beating around the bush" and came to the point by
[6654]asking Miss Gandy if she had ever destroyed any official and
[6655]confidential files. Mr. Gitenstein replied they had a discrepancy
[6656]concerning the O and C files in that a reliable source had reported
[6657]that Mr. Mark Felt had five two-drawer cabinets marked "O and C Files”
[6658]in his office. Miss Gandy on the other hand told Mr. Gitenstein in
[6659]response to a question that she had turned over to Mr. Felt after
[6660]Mr. Hoover's death, as she recollected, one and one-half drawersand
[6661]possibly two drawers. of O and C files. I explained to Mr. Gitenstein
[6662]that Miss Gandy would have no way of knowing what files Mr. Felt had
[6663]in his office and if there was a discrepancy the person to resolve the
[6664]discrepancy was Mr. Felt who Mr. Gitenstein had told me previously
[6665]had been interviewed by him and had been cooperative. I had previously
[6666]explained to Mr. Gitenstein in response to que stions he asked me when I
[6667]appeared before the Staff that at the time Mr. William C. Sullivan had
[6668]furnished the data of the 17 White House telephone taps to Mr .Mardian in
[6669]the Internal Security Division of the Department that Mr. Hoover had
[6670]instzu cted that any Assistant Director or Bureau official who had any
[6671]files in his office he considered to be confidential and relating to the
[6672]Bureau's work were to be immediately transferred to Mr. Felt and
[6673]a memorandum prepared concerning exactly what was transferred to
[6674]Mr. Felt. Itold Mr. Gitenstein I had no idea how many files Mr. Felt
[6675]collected as a result of Mr. Hoover's instructions. It is interesting to
[6677]' note that I was not asked at any time whether I Ind turned over any files -
[6678]to Mr. Felt in connection with Mr. Hoover's instructions.
[6680](10) Miss Gandy was asked whether there were any files.
[6681]vor Mr. Hoover's personal correspondence in Mr. Hoover's former hone
[6682]at the present time. Miss Gandy replied no.
[6684](11) At some point during the interview a reference was
[6685]made to the confidential trash baskets maintained in the Bure au, to wit,
[6686]the trash baskets with the painted rim+-on top. Mr. Epstein wanted to
[6687]know if a log was maintained of items placed in the confidential trash
[6688]baskets for destruction. I informed him it wuld be ridiculous to think
[6690]: that such a log could be maintained and he was advised exactly how
[6691]confidential trash is destroyed in the Bureau. He was also informed of
[6692]the Bureau files that were scattered over the streets of Southwest Washington
[6693]as a result of the Department of Justice engaging in destruction of some of
[6694]their files. This reference permitted an immediate termination of any
[6695]questions along the lines of the destruction of confidential trash.

[6700]ye tI .
[6703](12) Miss Gandy refers to the fact that questions were
[6704]raised concerning Mr. Hoover's back door entrance. The questions
[6705]concerning this back door were to determine just who used this
[6706]back door entrance and its purpose. In addition to explaining it was
[6707]immediately adjacent to the elevators at 9th and Pennsylvania Avenue
[6708]which Mr. Hoover used to enter and exit the building, they were also
[6710]“ advised that this was Mr. Hoover's private and personal entrance and
[6711]that persons wishing to see Mr. Hoover were not brought through this
[6712]back door.
[6714]The foregoing is submitted for information purposes and
[6715]as an auxiliary record of Miss Gandy's appearance before the Staff of the
[6716]Senate Select Committee on May 15, 1975, accompanied by me,

[6839]On 6/9/75, Mr. K. William O'Connor advised me that the 1s’ Fs es
[6840]Senate Select Committee would like to obtain access to Appendices A
[6841]through E of the original Petersen Committee report on COINTHLPRO.
[6842]He advised that the Deputy Attorney General had requested him to
[6843]determine by the morning of 6/10/75 whether the FBI would object to
[6844]disclosing the Appendices to the Committee. Subsequently, Mr. O'Connor
[6845]sent mea copy of a notehe addressed to the Deputy Attorney General
[6846]dated 6/9/75, and its enclosure (a copy of a letter from Senator Church
[6847]to the Attorney General dated 6/9/75), both of which pertain to the
[6848]Senate Select Committee request to have access to Appendices A through
[6849]E of the Petersen report. The letter also requests access to Appendices
[6850]K and L for inspection by designated Committee staff at the Department of
[6851]Justice (Copies of these two are attached).
[6855]Previously, the Intelligence Division has been requested to
[6857]review Appendices A through E which are summaries of the several
[6858]i CONINTELPRO programs. This memorandimshould be referred to the
[6860]Intelligence Division to indicate the néed to expédite that review and to
[6861]Sofurnish appropriate recommendations to the Director concerning any ws
[6862]objections the FBI should have to disclosure of the Appendices requested.
[6863]— in view of the urgency of the information furnished by Mr. O'Connor
[6864]it is suggested that this memorandum serve as the authority for the disclosing
[6865]of the requested Appendices in the absence of any strong objections, by the eon

[6901]ADDENDUM: INTELLIGENCE DIVISION 6/10/75 i
[6903]Intelligence Division strongly feels Exhibits A through E should not
[6904]be made available, These constitute work papers prepared on an expedite -
[6905]basis by Special Agents operating under the understanding their effort was
[6906]of a rough draft nature which would be utilized by a committee of the Justice
[6907]Department and FBI for an in-house investigation. The Agents preparing |
[6908]the documents never conceived that their effort would be subject to review
[6909]outside of the Department and particularly outside the Executive Branch.
[6911]By letter dated 4/21/75 to the Attorney General it was pointed
[6912]out these exhibits related to the internal deliberations of the Department
[6913]and FBI representatives, some of the material in these summaries is
[6914]classified and relates to sensitive operations and they should not be revealed.
[6915]Also, Deputy Attorney General Lawrence Silberman in testimony before the
[6916]Civil Rights and Constitutional Rights Subcommittee (Edwards Committee)
[6917]on £14/20/74 indicated as regards these documents, "If we had thought it was
[6918]appropriate to release the full discussion we would have done so at the time.
[6919]There are a lot of internal working documents which go into the making of a
[6920]final report, *
[6922]Further, if these documents are released to the SSC, or if the
[6923]Coremittee is allowed access to them, we would not then be in a position to
[6924]deny access to them by the Edwards Committee or the House Select Committee
[6925]on Intelligence (‘Nedzi), Should they be released and come within the public
[6926]domain, we could then be in a position of violating individual rights of privacy
[6927]and compromising sensitive investigative techniques and Bureau sources,
[6929]We feel we should first go through these work papers and excise such items
[6930]to avoid any such complication.
[6932]Der INTD recommends Legal Counsel advise Mr, O'Connor we strongly
[6933]Mie object to the release of the above Exhibits to the SSC, However, we
[6934]y ‘\ recognize our objection may be overruled by the Attorney General; and if so,

[7015]Washington, D. C. 20530
[7017]Dear Mr. Attorney General:
[7019]Thank you for your letters ‘of May UT and May 23,
[7020]1975, informing the Select Committee of five additional
[7021]COINTELPRO-—type operations disclosed by the continuing FBI
[7022]review of its counterintelligence files. The Committee ap-
[7023]preciates your candor in disclosing the sensitive aspects of
[7024]these programs. Pursuant to its rules, the Committee will’
[7025]handle this information with the necessary security.
[7027]I have been informed that a member of the Commit-
[7028]tee staff has inspected and taken notes on the 39~page
[7029]report of the Petersen committee on COINTELPRO. I believe
[7030]that our security arrangements are more than sufficient to
[7031]safeguard the confidentiality of its contents. The Commit-
[7032]tee members themselves as well as the staff would be con-
[7033]venienced by its availability in our secure facilities.
[7035]I believe that it is vitally important for the Com-
[7036]mittee to be provided with Appendices A through E of that
[7037]report. These documents will also be handled according to
[7038]our stringent security arrangements. In addition, Appendices
[7039]K and L should be made available for inspection by designated

[7057]These requests do not preclude the Committee from further
[7058]‘pursuing its original request for COINTELPRO materials.
[7060]Finally, I cannot emphasize too much the importance
[7061]to the Select Committee's work of fully understanding COINTEL-
[7062]PRO matters. In this regard, I wish to thank you again for

[7088]. SuBsECT: COINTELPRO/Petersen Report
[7090]On June 4, 1975, Mp. ELLIff of SSC reviewed the
[7091]3$-~page Petersen Report. Afterwards, he had a confer-
[7092]ence with me from 4:15 to 4:45, The conference resulted
[7093]in a modification of the previous request. I told him
[7094]I would be back in touch with him at an appropriate time.
[7095]He also indicated a probable future course of action by
[7096]the Committee.
[7098]Jo. B&
[7099]o ne
[7100]BS .s The modification is as follows: -
[7102]: § 8 &S As to Appendices A-E (the summaries prepared by
[7103]\E = the FBI of certain COINTELPRO operations) Committee °
[7104]; -Istaff access is requested. Mr. Elliff advised that he
[7105]g iq understood that the FBI raw files question was most
[7106]t sensitive, and that he would propose to have staff of
[7108]the Committee review these Exhibits, and, if the infor-
[7109]mation in these Exhibits was not sufficient for their
[7110]‘purposes, to then request an expanded summary of any
[7111]particular topic pic summarized, without reaching the issue
[7112]of access to the Bureau! s “naw Files",
[7114]i
[7115]As to F-J-Staff Assessments ~ he feels these are
[7116]not of. pressing present importance.
[7120]De ole CP) a/o5~
[7122]As to K-L (summary reports on espionage matters),
[7123][he would like personal access; he does not view this
[7124]as important as A~5 above.
[7126]wo Ohad
[7128]As to M 6 N (Criminal Division legal memoranda),
[7129]these are not of immediate interest,

[7139]NW 88326 Docld:32989611 Page 132
[7141]As to O-FBI public statement - no interest.
[7143]: As: to P (the overall FBI recommendation) 5 he
[7144]would like personal access. ;
[7146]. X discussed as an alternative, access ‘to the
[7148]initiating documents in the COINTELPRO matters; and
[7149]cn that I would attempt to obtain those as an alternative
[7151]Hoof solution to his inquiry. He said that he might be
[7152]i interested in those documents, but they were far less
[7153]i - important to him than access to A-E. He reiterated
[7154]his sensitivity to the question of raw files, and.
[7155]indicated a strong inclination to avoid the raw files 4
[7156]question, proceeding by the proposed expanded summaries | i
[7157]route if necessary, with expanded summaries to be pre-
[7158]pared only in the event of specific questions being
[7159]raised after staff access to A-E,
[7161]He then went on to state that he perceived a
[7162]significance in the recommendation and proposals of the
[7163]Petersen Report; and that he felt FBI and DOJ policies
[7164]might be perceived as at loggerheads, although this was
[7165]muted in the prose. He said that he felt sure that, at
[7166]an appropriate time, the Committee would wish to explore,
[7167]by AG testimony at SSC, the actions of the DOJ on the
[7169]. recommendation reflected in the report. I said that I
[7170]understood his interest in that process.
[7172]My recommendation is that, in view of the retrench~
[7173]ment regarding "raw files", A-E be made available, under
[7174]the conditions outlined above; I am furnishing a copy of
[7175]this memorandum to Mr. Daly for dissemination to appro-
[7176]priate Executives of the Bureau, and to ‘Mr. Maroney of
[7177]the Criminal Division.
[7179]I believe a prompt decision as to A-E would be
[7180]most helpful.

[7771]It is felt that we are confronted with a complex legal Gi
[7772]problem here and it would appear that if the Senate Select
[7773]Committee is a party to the Memorandum of Understanding, it is
[7774]“entitled to a copy of such communication to prevent any misun-
[7775]“y derstanding in the future and to protect the FBI which ha
[7776]4 up this Memorandum of Understanding.
[7781]Memorandum to Mr. Cleveland
[7782]Re: Senate and House Select Committees
[7783]on Intelligence Activities
[7785]Referenced memorandum pointed out that Mr. Clarke
[7786]and Mr. Moore were of the opinion that since Senator Church's
[7787]Committee was already following the procedures outlined in
[7788]the Memorandum of Understanding, and had completed the
[7789]Committee Staff, it would be inappropriate to furnish a copy
[7790]of the Memorandum of Understanding to Senator Church. How
[7791]would the Senate Select Committee know it is following the
[7792]procedures outlined inithe Memorandum of Understanding if
[7793]it does not have a copy? Does it have a copy of DCID 1/14
[7794]which has been, and possibly still is, classified?
[7796]The FBI has now received a request for a total
[7797]of 122 investigations from the Senate Select Committee.
[7798]This is many more than anticipated with all expenses absorbed
[7799]by the FBI in connection with a function of the Legislative
[7800]Branch, In addition, 16 requests have been received to
[7801]date from the House Select Committee, Also the FBI has been
[7802]asked by the Senate Select Committee to conduct additional
[7803]investigation concerning Patricia Ann Monaco, already employed
[7804]by the Committee, who admits living with Neal Stevens up
[7805]to 4-75, and frequenting a lounge known as a hangout for
[7806]prostitutes, Neal Stevens has said he engaged "in all forms
[7807]of sexual activities" with Monaco. There is also the definite
[7808]possibility that we will have to process many of these cases
[7809]under the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act of 1974,
[7811]To date notification has been received from the
[7812]Director of Central Intelligence (CIA) that a total of 49
[7813]employees of the Senate Select Committee have been certified
[7814]as meeting requirements of EO 10450 (Security Requirements
[7815]for Government Employment) for access to classified information
[7816]up to and including Top Secret. Of this number, 17 staff
[7817]members have been briefed on compartmented information and an
[7818]additional 5 staff members designated to receive compartmented
[7819]information. From the above it is not clear that, as stated
[7820]by Mr. Clarke and Mr. Moore, that the Senate Select Committee
[7821]"had completed the Committee Staff."
[7823]It is noted that CIA refers to EO 10450 but the

[7825]refer to EO 10450.

[8556]The Attorney General
[8558]NOTE:
[8560]By memorandum from Legal Counsel to Mr. J. B. Adams
[8561]dated 6/3/75 captioned "Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
[8562]Activities," Legal Counsel Division transmitted an “Eyes Only"
[8563]communication, dated 5/30/75, from the Executive Secretary
[8564]of the USIB Ad Hoc Coordinating Group. In its communication,
[8565]the USIB Group requested that recipients furnish Mr. James A.
[8566]Wilderotter, Associate Counsel to the President, with
[8567]suggestions for administrative or legislative action relative
[8568]to United States intelligence programs.
[8570]In response to USIB's request on behalf of
[8571]Mr. Wilderotter, INTD Supervisors have been canvassed for
[8572]suggestions and results obtained incorporated in communication
[8573]being attached for Attorney General's approval. Since USIB's
[8574]communication was marked "Eyes Only," we have not specifically
[8575]referenced this document in our response to Mr. Wilderotter.
[8576]We are, however, providing copies of the USIB letter and our
[8577]response for the Attorney General's records and for the Office
[8578]of the Deputy Attorney General. The latter action would
[8579]appear appropriate, since the Department of Justice was
[8580]included among the recipients of the USIB letter, although
[8581]Inspector John B. Hotis of the Legal Counsel Division was
[8582]erroneously designated as the Departmental addressee by USIB.

[9399]The Committee has authorized the staff to con~-

[10483]° FROM R. D, Cotter
[10485]SUBJECT: FBI INTELLIGENCE LETTER FOR THE PRESIDENT
[10487]This memorandum recommends that we extend our dissemination
[10488]of the FBI Intelligence Letter (Inlet) to include Vice President Agnew.
[10490]Inlet is outgrowth of Director's personal suggestion for a
[10491]channel of high-level intelligence directly to the President. It has provided
[10492]medium for furnishing President sensitive and top-level data in which he
[10493]would have direct interest and has been disseminated only to President and
[10494]Attorney General. Since first Inlet issued 11/7/69, we have prepared
[10495]36 issues which have summarized 120 individual items of significance
[10496]on a wide range of topics, including racial violence, New Left intrigue,
[10497]Soviet and communist bloc espionage, and important foreign intelligence
[10498]data. Material is presented in a one-page format tailored to the President's
[10500]convenience.
[10502]Vice President Agnew in recent conversations with the Director
[10503]has indicated a keen interest in the information the Bureau has been furnishing
[10504]him in recent months regarding domestic and foreign subversion, It is
[10505]obvious the Vice President is relying on the Bureau as a key source of
[10506]information. In view of Mr. Agnew's viial interest in these matters and
[10508]the high position he occupies, it is believed we should at this time include
[10510]him in dissemination to Inlet,
[10512]ACTION: , oo,
[10514]if the Director approves, the Vice President will be included
[10515]in future dissemination of this material.

[11135]CIRCUMBTANCES PRELUDE TO TESTIMONY
[11137]On May 28, 1975, Nichols telephonically advised the
[11138]FBI that SSC Staff Member Lester B. Seidel had requested,
[11139]and Nichols agreed, to travel to Washington, 0. C., fron
[11140]Atlanta, Georgia, to be interviewed in the Committee's
[11141]offices, Seidel indicated the interview would concern
[11142]Martin lather King, Jr., Stanley David Levison, and related
[11143]matters. Nichole was unable to advise whether it would be
[11144]a staff interview or an appearance for testimony purposes
[11145]before an Executive Session of the Committee. He was not
[11146]told by Seidel that hia appesrance would be pursuant to a
[11147]subpoena. Nichola requested that the FSI make available a
[11148]representative so that Nichols might consult with him during
[11149]the interview, if necessary. Nichole was informed that the
[11150]presence of a Bureau representative should not be interpreted
[11151]ag the FBI furnishing counsel but that the representative
[11152]Ase py. .. Would merely assist Nichols in determining whether a specific
[11153]question should be answered or whether a response could

[11197]which might compromise a source; information which might
[11198]divulge a sensitive investigative technique or method;
[11199]information which might divulge what had been furnished the
[11200]FBI by other Government agencies and/or foreign intelligence
[11201]sources; and information which might adversely affect an
[11202]ongoing investigation. It was pointed out to Nichols that
[11203]if be so desired, he could obtain private counsel, He was
[11204]iw ited to obtain additional personal briefing on the early
[11205]morning of May 30, 1975, before his appearance before the
[11206]SSC, from the Legal Counsel Division and the Intelligence
[11207]Division ef the FRIAR
[11209]Early on the morning of May 30, 1975, Nichols was
[11210]briefed by the FBI, including advice to hin that hia
[11211]euployment agreement with the FSI was being waived for the
[11212]purposes of the interview by the 8S5C to the extent that it
[11213]pertained to King, Levigon and the Southern Christian
[11215]adership Conference (SCLC), the organization which hud been
[11216]headed up by King. Nichols was reminded of the areas of
[11217]privilege and, at his request, was accompanied to the &SC
[11218]offices by SA Seynor F. Phillips of the FBI.
[11220]At the S&C offices, Nichols asd Phillips met
[11221]My, Jobn Bayly of the office of the Minority Counsel of the
[11222]Committee who indicated that the interview would be under
[11223]oath. Staff Member Seidel then appeared and inquiry was
[11224]made of him by Phillips as to whether the interview would
[11225]be under oath, it being noted that it was only then, after
[11226]appearing at the SSC offices, that Nichols and Phillipa
[11227]became aware of the oath aspects of the interview. When
[11228]Seidel said that Nichols would be interviewed in an Executive
[11229]Session, Phillips agked that he be permitted to confer with
[11230]FEX Headquarters as it would require clearance from the
[11232]NW 83326 Docid:37989611 Page 200

[11242]Special Agent (3A) Robert R.
[11243]Hichols Before S38C Executive Session
[11245]Attorney General (AG) before Nichols would be able to testify.
[11246]Such AG clearance was immediately obtained telephonically
[11247]through PSI Headquarters and Phillips advised Nichols,
[11249]Seidel and Mr. John Smith, of the office of Senator Walter D.
[11250]Buddiestoean of the Committee that clearance for the interview
[11251]had been obtained from the 4G provided the interview was .
[11252]within the scope of the aforementioned areas. Phillips
[11253]further indicated that if Nichols believed the interview
[11255]was outside the scope, he could invoke 16.22, Code of Federal
[11256]Regulations. Arrangements were made for the Executive
[11257]Session to take place in the nearby did Carroll Arms Hotel
[11258]while Phillips remained at the 88SC offices in the event he was
[11259]needed for consultation purposes. bs.
[11261]The Executive Sexmsion took place in Room 607 of
[11262]the old Carroll Arms Hotel and lasted approxinuately for the
[11263]period from 10:40 a.m., to 1:15 p.m. Present in addition to
[11264]Seidel, Bayly and Smith, were a male reporter and
[11265]Senator Huddleston who administered the cath to Nichols,
[11266]Yemained about twenty minutes and who asked only a few
[11268]ions. At the outset of this session, Seidel furnished
[11269]Nichols the Rules of Procedure of the SSC, including Senate
[11270]Reselution 21. Nichols was permitted to look at the Rules
[11271]ef Procedure and after a brief review, he told Seidel he was
[11272]satisfied aa to the 88C authority and that they could proceed
[11273]with the questioning. Michols was advised of his rights,
[11274]including that te counsel. ,

[11295]Nichols was questioned about the communist background
[11296]of Levison. He replied that he could not discuss this uatter
[11297]eopardize an FBI source. Michols indicated
[11299]answer in each case was that he did net know. At one peint,
[11300]Seidel clained that Nichols had said it was a foreign source.
[11301]Nichols then stated he did set recall having so stated and
[11302]that if he had so stated, it was wrong as he did not know
[11303]the source. Seidel then asked how Nichols knew that the
[11304]information be had weuld disclose the source if he was
[11305]anaware of the source's identity. Kichols responded that
[11306]inammuch as he knew in advance the interview would include
[11307]the subject of Levison, he had asked Phillips of the FSI
[11308]what he could discuss about Levison. Nichols then related
[11309]that Phillips had asked Nichols what he knew or recalled about
[11310]Levisen's background and that when be gave Phillips certain
[11311]information, Phillips told him that that information would
[11312]possibly identify the source and, therefore, would be
[11313]privileged. (The Nichols-Phillips exchange referred to here

[11332]allegations as the following: Sending of a taps recording
[11333]to Mra. King; anonymous telephone calls to attempt to

[11365]Nichols Before SSC Executive Session
[11367]Nichols was questioned as to what type of
[11368]investigation concerning King was conducted besides the
[11369]use of a technical surveillance. Nichols replied that he
[11370]had attempted to initiate action to infiltrate the SCLC
[11371]with Live informants but that every one of his suggestions
[11372]along this line was turned down by FBI Headquarters. Nichols
[11373]furnished the reason for these rejections as being that the
[11374]FBI did sot want to interfere with civil rights organisations
[11375]but indicated that the Bureau had never told him this in
[11376]the rejections and that it was his own rationale. Nichola
[11377]indicated that from time to time spot physical surveillances
[11378]would take place in Atlanta to verify contacts between King
[11379]and individuals known or suspected of being comaunists.
[11380]During this phase of the interview, Seidel mentioned the nane
[11381]of Harry Wachtel and Nichole acknowledged he was one of
[11382]King's contacts. In response to a question as to whether or
[11383]not trash or mail covers were used against King, Nichole
[11384]responded that they vere not.
[11386]Inquiry was made as to why so much reliance was
[11387]placed by the FBI on technical coverage of King and so little
[11388]was done in the way of physical surveillances. Seidel
[11389]pointed out that a technical surveillance of an individual
[11390]was a greater infringeseat of his privacy than was a physical
[11391]surveillance. Michols responded that the Bureau did what it
[11392]felt was necessary to get the information it needed. Seidel
[11393]then asked Nichols how he would personally feel about a
[11394]technical surveillance on him, Nichols. Michols' response
[11395]was that he would rather have his phone tapped than to always
[11396]be followed around.
[11398]Nichols was questioned concerning the authority for
[11399]the technical surveillance of King and how Nichols would
[11400]learn of such authority. Nichols explained that he would be

[11413]called into the office of the Special Agent in Charge ani
[11414]told that advice from the Bureau had been received that the
[11415]technical surveillance was authorized. When inqiiry was
[11417]made concerning the mechanics of installing the surveillance,
[11418]Nichole answered that he had nothing to do with thia phase.
[11420]On questioning, Nichols discussed the sonitoring plant
[11422]he had set up with a cover company and Nichols gave the general
[11423]lecation of the plant. Michols indicated that he did not know
[11424]who actually made the installation and was asked if an
[11426]Al Miller was the sound man in’ the office. Nichols
[11427]acknowledged that he was and when asked if Nichols had
[11428]monitored the surveillance, Nichols indicated he had on a
[11429]spot is.
[11431]Nichols was questioned and furnished information
[11432]ef a biegraphical and pergonal nature. It included such
[11433]things as the period of time he was ampigned in Atlanta, the
[11434]period of time assigned security work, the King case aad
[11435]criminal work, as well as when and why be had been transferred
[11436]from Atlanta to Oklahoma City. Seidel brought up the matter
[11437]of Nichols' testimony in Houston, Texas, in connection with
[11438]an FBI case concerning the heavyweight boxer Cassius Clay.
[11439]On questioning, Nichols acknowledged he had been transferred
[11440]to Oklahoma City because of what the Bureau considered his
[11441]deficiencies in his testimony in that case. Seidel inquired
[11442]as to what actually Michols had done wrong and Michols
[11443]replied that he had received a letter of censure but had thrown
[11444]it away and cannet now recall the specific deficiencies for
[11445]which he was censured. He only recalled that his testimony
[11446]was considered not up to Bureau standards, Seidel then asked,
[11447]"What are the Bureau standards? Didn't you tell the truth?”
[11448]Nichols respended that there was no question as to the
[11449]truthfulness of his testimony, that be had told the truth.

[11464]Nichols was questioned about his contacts with
[11465]another retired FBI Agent, Alan Sentinelia, to whom the King
[11466]case Was ap@igned after it had been handled by Nichols.
[11467]Nichols was asked if be had discussed his forthcoming
[11468]testimony with Sentinella who resides in Atlanta. MSichols
[11469]acknowledged that he had had a discussion with Sentinella
[11470]but that they had both purposdy avoided any discussion of the
[11471]substance of Nichols’ testimony-to-be and the testimony which
[11472]Sentinella had already given the 83C, They discussed only
[11473]procedural aspects as Nichols wanted to have some idea in
[11474]advance as to what might be expected in any trip to Washington
[11475]to testify. It was Nichols’ impresaion that Seidel thought
[11476]that Nichols was holding out some information on this matter.
[11478]On at least three occasions Seidel inquired of
[11479]Michels as te whether he had discussed his forthcoming
[11480]testimony with Charles Harding of Atlanta, a retired FBI
[11481]Agent who had also been acquainted with the King case in 1964.
[11482]Qn each octwion, Nichols denied that he had had any discussion
[11483]with Harding on this matter.
[11485]Michols was questioned as to whether the technical
[11486]surveillance on King was justified and hia response was that
[11487]it was justified. hen asked why, Nichols s¢éated that there
[11488]was considerable evidence of communist influences on King
[11489]inasmuch as King was receiving much advice in his work from
[11490]Levison and other communists, Seidel asked if they included
[11491]Jack O'Dell and Harry Wachtel and Nichols acknowledged that
[11492]it did. When Nichols was asked as to whether or not he had
[11493]developed any information as to the communist background of
[11494]Levison, O'Dell or Wachtel, Michols responded that he had
[11495]not and that the information was developed by others.

[11504]Hichols Before SSC Executive Session
[11506]At one point, when deidel asked about alleged
[11507]harassment by the FBI, Nichols told him of FBI investigations
[11508]of chureh burnings in Zouth Georgia and that the Bureau
[11509]recognized outstanding work by its Agents in this field
[11510]and that some of the ts, including Nichols, had received
[11511]meritorious awards. Nichols indicated that he had been
[11512]commended for hia work generally in civil rights investigations.
[11514]When asked about what the FSI was doing in the King
[11515]case besides uze of wiret , Michols advised that he had
[11516]attended a conference at Headquarters to explore avenues
[11517]of investigation that might be pursued in the King case.
[11519]The objective waa to discuss ways of better determining the
[11520]extent of the communist influences on King. Nichols furniaghed
[11521]the names of the following FBI personnel am attending the
[11522]conference: Agents Henry Rouse and Nichols from Atlanta;
[11524]and from FBI Headquarters, Assistant Director William C.
[11525]Sullivaa, and Agents Larry Gurley and Fred Baumgardner.

[11529]| a Bureau official, Jo@eph Sizoo, but that he did net furniah
[11531], thie name duriag his testimony as he did not then recall his
[11533]presence at the conference). Nichola told the S&C that he
[11535]could not remenber what deciaions were made at the conference.
[11537]Nichols was questioned concerning a dispute between
[11539]King and former FBI Director Hoover which had been aired by
[11540]the news media. Nichole was asked if the dispute was the
[11541]reason for technical coverage of King and Nichols answered
[11542]that he was convinced that that was not the reason for the
[11543]technical coverage; that such coverage was otherwise fully
[11544]justified. Nichols pointed cut that the investigation of

[11565]Coordinating Committee but Nichols refused to discuss the
[11566]matter on the basis it was outside the parameters of the
[11567]testimony.
[11569]Nichols was questioned concerning an alleged visit
[11570]of William C. Sullivan to Atlanta to see the newspaper
[11571]editor, Ralph McGill. This discussion was initiated in the
[11572]context of the allegation that the FBI furnished information
[11573]about King to the news media. Nichols responded that he did
[11575]net remember Sullivan ever coming to Atlanta.
[11577]Nichols was asked if he knew about the writing of
[11578]a monograph about King by an FBI Agent named Charles Brennan.
[11579]Nichola responded that he did not know of this.
[11581]Nichole advised that he was offered the opportunity
[11582]to make a statement at the beginning of his testimony but
[11583]declined to do so. He was given the sane offer at the close
[11584]of his testimony and he made a statement to the following
[11585]effect. Nichols believed that the Bureau had always
[11586]conducted the King investigation with the objective of
[11587]determigang the extent of communist influences on King and
[11588]on the and that the only way to make a deternination as
[11589]te the full extent required technical coverage. Nichols
[11590]pointed out that the Bureau never interfere] in the legitimate
[11591]civil rights activities of individuals or organizations or
[11592]harassed such people and that it was Nichols" belief that FBI
