[996]The Attorney General
[998]A briefing for Senators Church and Tower has been provided
[999]covering warrantless electronic surveillances { surreptitious entry for
[1000]recovery of eryptogranhic material, teletype eoverage requested by the
[1001]National Seeurity Agency and electronic penctration of corunwnications
[1002]equipment requested by the National Security Acency.% Tne White House
[1003]asked that agencies of the intelligence community not 7éspond to any
[1004]requests from the ESC covering these matters until the briefing had been
[1005]given. The goal of the briefing was to confine knowledge of these matters
[1006]to Senators Church and Tower and avoid proliferation of this information
[1007]throughout the S3C staff. In view of this, it is recoimended that the
[1008]enclosed iaaterial not be made available to the SSC staff until it is dis-
[1009]cussed with the \white House. I further urge that it be made clear to the
[1010]White House that if this c.aterial is to be made available to the SSC that
[1011]access to the enclosed material be limited to Senators Church, Tower,
[1012]and &5C Ctatfi Director William Willer only.

[1368]: On September 17, 1975, Mary Wagner, an attorney in the office
[1370]of the Deputy Attorney General, accompanied by Bruce Baird, an attorney
[1371]recently appointed to the Deputy's office, met with me in my office and
[1372]advised that they have been assigned the responsibility of drafting guidelines
[1373]for the Attorney. General's approval concerning legal representation of
[1374]Department employees. She explained that they view the problem of
[1376]legal aGvice to employees as larger than the request made by the FEL
[1377]concerning Bureau employees, and that the guidelines would address the
[1378]larger problem. She asked for my suggestions concerning the proposed
[1380]guidelines.
[1382]I told Miss Wagner that in the beginning of the inquiries received
[1383]from the Senate and House Select Committees, we had been advised by the
[1384]Department that a conflict of interest would prohibit Department attorneys,
[1385]includixg lawyers in the FBI, from providing legal representation individuallys
[1386]to the employees of the FBi in matters relating to the Senate and House a:
[1387]inguiries. As a consequence we have been advising our employees of the
[1388]procedures involved in Congressional committee interviews and appearances
[1389]for testimony; the limitations imposed on the employees in regard to sensitive
[1390]areas of testimony which might require special approval; their right to
[1391]counsel and of the limitation imposed on us that personal counsel would have
[1392]to be privately employed. I told Miss Wagner that my reading of the
[1393]Attorney General's memorandum for the Director dated September 12, 1975
[1394]was that the Attorney General intended to make personal legal advice available
[1395]to employees requesting it and that we would like for the guidelines to be
[1396]written broadly enough for smpiovess to receive a) assistance of legal
[1398]counsel.

[1424]Memorandum to Mr. Adams
[1425]Re: Legal Advice for Present or Former Bureau Employees
[1429]I suggested to her that the Attorney General might approve the
[1430]appointment of a special counsel within the Department whose res ponsibilities
[1431]would be somewhat similar to those imposed on the Special Counsel for
[1432]Intelligence Coordination in that he would be relieved of other Department
[1433]responsibilities and his allegiance would be only to discharging the obligations
[1434]of personal counsel when requested by an employee. I suggested that such
[1435]special designation would permit the Department lawyer so assigned to
[1436]avoid the conflict of interest problem and at the same time it would impose
[1437]on him the obligations of the attorney-client privilege.
[1439]Miss Wagner commented that she understood that in some cases
[1440]handled by the Civil Division of the Department, Government attorneys
[1441]represent employees in civil suits, but require that the employee waive
[1442]the attorney-client privilege to the extent that should the Government employee
[1443]become aware of information that should be communicated to another division
[1444]of the Department, the attorney would furnish such information to the other
[1445]division. If the attorney learned of criminal conduct on the part of the
[1446]employee, he would not be prohibited by the attorney-client privilege from
[1447]making such conduct known to the Department.
[1449]Itold Miss Wagner that an essential element of the relationship
[1450]between the special counsel for furnishing advice to employees would be
[1451]that the attorney-client privilege would apply and it would not be possible
[1452]for such a waiver to be required in exchange for providing legal advice.
[1453]She agreed.
[1455]I suggested to Miss Wagner that the Department special counsel
[1456]could be available for consultation concerning such matters as appearances
[1457]before Congressional committees and for such preliminary advice as would be
[1458]useful to employees called to testify. At the point where the special counsel
[1459]determined that the employee required more in-depth legal assistance in order
[1460]to protect his legal rights, the special counsel could recommend to the
[1461]Deputy Attorney General that the employee should be afforded an opportunity
[1462]to have private counsel whose fees would be paid by the Department of
[1463]Justice.

[1471]Memorandum te Mr. Adams ,
[1472]Re: Legal Advice for Present or Former Bureau Employees
[1474]In regard to the question of security clearance for such outside
[1475]counsel and the possibility that an employee might seek to employ an
[1476]attorney whose backeround would suggest that he would not be approved
[1477]for security clearance, I told Miss Wagner that the provision of private
[1478]counsel & an employee would be done in the discretion of the Department
[1479]and that a reasonable limitation could well be imposed by the Department
[1480]as to those alforneys in private practice who would be eligible for appoint- .
[1481]ment to represent individual employees. Such limitation would permit
[1482]the Department and the employee to agree upon an attorney who would be
[1483]qualified for security clearance. ;
[1485]Miss Wagner inquired as to when the Department's responsibility
[1486]for furnishing legal counsel to an employee should terminate. I told her
[1487]that an. appropriate time would be when the Department advised the
[1488]employee that a decision had been made to prosecute the employee. Up
[1489]to that point the inquiries would have been directed toward the determination
[1490]of the circumstances and that the employer-employee relationship would
[1491]justify protecting the legal rights of the employee, but at the point at
[1492]which the Government determines and so advises the employee that the
[1493]employee would be prosecuted, the Government and the employee would
[1494]become adversaries.
[1496]We discussed the provision in Federal law for the appointment of
[1497]counsel for Federal defendants in cases where the defendant is indigent.
[1498]I suggested that they consider the possibility that even in those cases
[1499]where an employee is to be prosecuted, the Department consider the
[1500]possibility of employing existing law to provide counsel to employees
[1501]who may become defendants in criminal cases.
[1503]As to the scope of the representation of the employee, I told
[1504]Miss Wagner that the initial need is for legal advice in situations where
[1505]an employee is called for au interview or testimony by Members,
[1506]committees, subcommittees, or other units of the Congress. However, I
[1507]explained that due to the publicity of the Congressional inquiries, others may
[1508]well be interested in pursuing independent inquiries concerning the same
[1509]matters or other matters and that employees may well request legal
[1510]advice when they are called for interview or testimony by the Criminal
[1512]-~3- CONTINUED - OVER

[1524]Memorandum to Mr. Adams
[1525]Re: Legai Advice for Present or Former Bureau Employees
[1527]Division of the Department, the Civil Rights Division of the Department,
[1529]or other Federal Government entities including Federal Grand Juries.
[1530]Further, state and local prosecutors and grand juries may seek to inquire
[1531]concerning matters within their jurisdiction arising out of the employee's
[1532]Federal activities and the employee would require the assistance of counsel.
[1533]Therefore, Iasked Miss Wagner to include in the guidelines a provision
[1534]that legal counsel would be available through the Department for employees
[1535]in all circumstances where the employee is being questioned concerning -
[1536]matters arising out of his employment in the FBI.
[1538]IT told Miss Wagner that the concluding paragraph in the Attorney
[1539]General’s memorandum for the Director indicated the possibility that a
[1540]determination would be made in some cases that the employee's activities
[1541]were beyond the scope of his duties and in such cases légal counsel would
[1542]not be provided. I told her that such a determination would be critical
[1543]and the policy followed in making such decisions would color the entire
[1544]program of providing legal assistance to employees. Therefore, I
[1545]requested Miss Wagner to address the question of scope of duties in the
[1546]guidelines by expressing a presumption that the employee's activities
[1547]were within the scope cf his duties and that such presumption would be
[1548]overcome only by a showing of facts clearly indicating to the contrary,
[1549]and that such determination would be made at least by the Deputy Attorney
[1550]General himself.
[1552]Etold Miss Wagner that this matter was most urgent and that the
[1553]Special Agents of the FBI throughout the field are anxiously awaiting the
[1554]announcement of the Attorney General's policy in regard to availability
[1555]of legal advice to employees concerning matters arising out of their
[1556]employment. She advised me that wo. k would begin immediately and that
[1557]she would be in touch with me concerning its progress, and to discuss
[1558]the guidelines as they are developed.
[1560]RECOMMENDATION:
[1562]For information of the Direcbr in response to his request. 7

[2347]INTERVIEW OF FORMER ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JOSEPH K. PONDER
[2348]BY SSC STAFF MEMBER
[2350]_ On August 28, 1975, I received a call from Mike
[2351]Epstein of the Staff of the Senate Select Committee. He
[2352]said he planned to be in Southern California on Labor Day
[2353]weekend and asked whether I would be available for
[2354]interview on Sunday, August 31, 1975. I told him I would.
[2355]Epstein subsequently called me on August 30 and agreed
[2356]to meet me at my home at San Clemente on Sunday afternoon,
[2357]August 31, 1975.
[2359]The interview with Epstein took place between
[2360]3:40 pm and 4:05 pm. This included the time spent in
[2361]amenities and general conversation.
[2363]Regarding my Bureau background Epstein asked
[2364]during what period of time I was Special Agent in Charge
[2365]in Atlanta. I told him from April or May 1964 to
[2366]December 1966. He asked where I had been assigned before
[2367]that (Buffalo) and where I went after leaving Atlanta
[2368](New York). He asked no other questions about my Bureau
[2369]career. He asked if I were aware of telephone taps
[2370]maintained by the Atlanta Office on Martin Luther King.
[2372]I replied that I was aware. of certain taps placed and
[2373]removed during my tenure in Atlanta. He asked if there
[2374]were such coverage before I arrived in Atlanta and I told
[2375]him I was not aware of any. In response to these and
[2376]other subsequent questions I pointed out to Epstein that
[2377]I had not been personally involved in the King matter,
[2378]that I had various other responsibilities in Atlanta and
[2379]that after ten years I cannot now clearly recall information
[2380]which might answer his questions. -I told him that every-
[2381]thing that was done was properly recorded, that the
[2383]records were accurate, and wherever my recollection differs
[2384]from the record, he should rely on the record to determine
[2385]what happened.

[2411]INTERVIEW OF FORMER ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JOSEPH K. PONDER
[2412]BY SSC STAPF MEMBER es
[2414]He asked whether the request for the King
[2415]coverage originated at the Bureau or in Atlanta. told
[2416]him I did not recall, but that in any case it was
[2417]approved by the Bureau. He asked where it was monitored
[2418]and I told him the monitoring was done in an apartment
[2419]rented for that purpose. He asked if I knew the name in
[2420]which the apartment was rented and I said I did not. He
[2421]asked why the taps were discontinued and I told him I
[2422]do not now recall whether I was told why they were
[2423]discontinued, but if I were I cannot now recall the
[2424]reason. He asked whether we had a bug oh King as opposed
[2425]to a tap and I told him, "no." He asked whether it were
[2426]possible there were taps and ‘bugs placed and maintained
[2427]without my knowledge. I told him that was not possible
[2428]because of the size of the office and the relationship
[2429]I had with the supervisors and Agents that nothing was
[2430]done without my knowledge or without Bureau approval.
[2432]Epstein asked whether we had conducted any
[2433]Counterintelligence Program against King or the Southern
[2434]Christian Leadership Conference and I told him I recalled
[2435]none. He asked whether we had made efforts to prevent
[2436]King from receiving the Nobel Prize or efforts to interfere
[2437]with or make more difficult the raising of funds for a
[2438]banquet to honor King for his receipt of the Nobel Prize.
[2440]I told him I knew of no such efforts.
[2442]He asked whether Sullivan (Assistant Director
[2444]William C. Sullivan) had visited Atlanta. I told him
[2445]Sullivan had been to Atlanta in connection with a regional
[2446]conference dealing with the Bureau's investigation of the
[2448]Klan. He wanted to know if Baumgartner had been with Sullivan
[2450]and I told him I thought so. He asked who else had
[2452]accompanied Sullivan and I told him Arbor Gray had
[2454]accompanied Sullivan and perhaps someone else whose name
[2456]I cannot now recall. He asked whether Sullivan had met
[2458]with Ralph Magill (then publisher of the Atlanta
[2460]Constitution). I told him Sullivan may have met with Magill,
[2462]that I may have accompanied Sullivan to Magill's office,
[2464]but I cannot specifically recall such a meeting and if it

[2478]were held I cannot recall anything discussed. He asked
[2479]the purpose of such a meeting and I told him if such a
[2480]meeting took place it was in the nature of a social
[2482]call with Sullivan paying his respects to Magill and a
[2483]public: relations~type of meeting. He asked whether there
[2484]was any discussion between Sullivan and Magill regarding
[2485]any anti-King activities and I told him, "no." He asked
[2486]whether Sullivan had made any other visits to Atlanta
[2488]and I told him I knew of none.
[2490]He asked whether I was aware of any inquiry
[2491]made by the Bureau into the handling of the King
[2492]investigation either through the Inspection Staff or
[2493]otherwise. I told him I was not aware of any. He asked
[2494]whether Nichols, the Agent assigned to the King
[2495]investigation had been in Atlanta while I was there. I
[2496]told him I had hazy recall of Nichols, but did not
[2497]recall him. He asked the same thing about Al Sentinella.
[2498]I told him Sentinella was there when I arrived and was
[2499]still there when I left Atlanta. He asked who had
[2500]supervised the Security Squad. I told him Supervisor
[2501]Charles Harding.

[3377]RE: INTERVIEW OF FBI SPECIAL AGENT (SA)
[3378]FRED J. CASSIDY BY SSC STAPF MEMBER
[3380]On August 20, 1975, Mr, Loch Johnson of the Senate
[3381]Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect
[3382]to Intelligence Activities (SSC) staff interviewed me in ny
[3383]office, Room 4821, SEH Building, concerning my knowledge of,
[3384]and participation in, the so-called "Husten Plan."
[3386]Mw. Johnson did not place me under oath or advise me
[3387]o£ my rights.
[3389]Ife asked about my background which I provided, including
[3390]the fact that I have been a Speeial Agent of the FBI since
[3391]August 7, 1950,
[3393]Wath regard to the extent of my participation in the
[3394]Huston Plan, I advised li. Johnson that I wag sclected by former
[3395]Assistant Director Willian C, Sullivan to act as the liaison
[3396]officer for the plan, probably because of my expericncé in the
[3397]FBI Domestic Liaison Section and my oxtensive Liaison contacts
[3398]through my participation in the various United States Intelligence
[3399]Board (USIB) Committees. My duties with regard to the Huston Plan
[3400]were to insure that appropriate notification of meetings was made
[3401]and that the various papers prepared ag the result of meetings
[3402]held were delivered to the proper individuals in the other agencies
[3403]participating in the plan. Some of the papers were delivered
[3404]personally by me, others were sent by courier.
[3406]I advised Hr. Johnson that I was generally aware of
[3407]the contents of the papers prepared through my attendance at the
[3408]meetings of the working group and discussions with participating
[3409]personnel; however, I personally made no input nor did I participate
[3410]in the preparation of the worlspapers or the finished product.

[3419]RE: INTERVIEW OF FBI SPECIAL AGENT (SA)
[3420]FRED J, CASSIDY BY SSC STAY MEMBER
[3422]Me. Johnson asked if I had net Tom Charles Husten
[3423]prior to the initial meeting of the Huston Plan working group,
[3424]I advised hin that I had never heard of Huston prior ta the
[3425]mentioning of his name by V. C. Sullivan at the initial necting
[3426]of FBI personnel involved in the Huston Plan, which meeting
[3427]oceurred early in June, 1970, and had never seen him until the
[3428]first meeting of the working group held at CIA Headquarters,
[3429]Langley, Virginia, shortly thereafter.
[3431]Mr, Johnson asked about the initial meeting of FBI
[3432]personnel concerning the Huston Pian. I told him it was held
[3433]in Me. Sullivan's conference room in the Fedcral Triangle
[3434]Building and that as best as I could recall it was attended by
[3435]Me, Sullivan and the branch Inspectors of the Intelligence
[3436]Division as well as the Section Chiefs, Sullivan told us of
[3438]' the plan and as EF recail indicated this was 2 golden opportunity
[3440]to vegain the caverage afforded by techniques, which had been
[3441]denied us for the most part, since 1967. { told him that in my
[3442]view Sullivan was going to mke this one Last effort te regain
[3443]the coverage and if this effort Zfailed wag prepared to retire.
[3445]i. Johnson asked if former Inspector 7, FJ, Smith was
[3446]at this meeting. I told him I could not recall.
[3448]The initial meeting of the Ad Hoc group at CIA was
[3449]discussed and J advised him that, as I recalled, at that meeting
[3450]it was decided that cach participating agency vould subnit a
[3451]paper listing the restraints on theiy particular agency which
[3452]were hampering them in doing their job, IE pointed out that the
[3453]FBI subnitted an extengive list of restraints and that this paper
[3454]was circulated to the other participating agencies without being
[3455]Cleared through Mr. Woover.

[3469]le, Johngon asked if I was aware of who was the
[3470]instigator of the Huston Plan, 2 told him I had no direct
[3471]knowledge but would suspect it was W. ©, Sullivan, Huston, or
[3472]possibly formor Assistant Attorney General Robort Mardian3
[3473]however, the answer to his question would have to be obtained
[3474]from those individuals or such records as he may be able to
[3475]ocate,
[3477]He asked my impression of Tom Charles Huston. fT toid
[3478]hin £ felt Duston was a very bright young man who sew this plan
[3479]ag an opportunity to become the Henry Kissinger of domestic
[3480]security and thereby enhance himself and his political career.
[3482]Me. Johnson stated that his investigation had developed |
[3483]that Sullivan at the outset of the plan appeared to want to push
[3484]through the plan; however, he seemed to take a direct turnabout
[3485]and began to advise Mr, Hoover against adopting some of the
[3486]proposals being made by the various participating agencies. He
[3487]said it wag hig impression that this turnabout oceurred at the
[3488]time Sullivan was promoted to Number Three Man in the Bureau,
[3490]He asked if I could shed any light on this turn of events.
[3492]I told Mr, Jobneon that I could not speak for Sullivan
[3493]and could only give him my impression of what occurred, that being
[3494]at the outset of the plan Sullivan truly felt this was a gelden .
[3495]opportunity to get the coverage back, and decided to lay his job
[3496]on the line to accomplish this, When he was moved up to the
[3497]Number Three job, I felt he saw the opportunity to someday become
[3498]the Divector of the FBI. Furthor, as the drafts of the plan were
[3499]being written, Sullivan realized that sooner or later Mr. Hoover
[3500]would see them and at that time realize that Sullivan had dissem
[3501]inated to the intelligence community all of the restraints
[3502]Me. Hoover had imposed on the FBI.

[3518]Sullivan then tried to have the other agoncies
[3519]Listed as the azencieswhich submitted the rectraints, Waving
[3520]accomplishod this, he was then in 2 position to advise Mr, Hoover
[3521]that this or that was not wise or necessary. When the final
[3522]report was propared, the FBI then footnoted most of the recon-
[3523]mendations as opposing then,
[3525]ty, Johnson caid he had boen advised by Me. Helmd and
[3526]Adniral Gaylor that the final draft which they revicwed prior te
[3527]going to Mr, Hoover's office te sign it did not contain the
[3528]footnotes and that they were not aware that the PBI was objecting
[3529]to the reconnenda tions util they saw the final version of the
[3530]report in Hr. Hoover's office.
[3532]I told him that I cannot specifically recall what was
[3533]in the final draft; hovever, I was aware that all of tho working
[3534]proup wad ayare of the FBI position as it was so stated at the
[3535]necting in which the draft was hammered ovt. I told hin I
[3536]specifically recalled this as it had put Mr. Sullivan in a most
[3537]enbarrassing position, At one point when asked why 2 change was
[3538]to be made or why the FRI was going to object, Sullivan responded
[3539]with words to the effect that because lr. Hoover caid so,

[3752]In teapect to Items 14 end 15, we are delivering
[3754]@ doctment dated December 17,°1964.. As indicated on page 2
[3756]of this document, it was epproved for Mr, Sullivan by
[3758]someone whose initials appear to the right of "WCS/."
[3760]Although we cannot say with absolute certainty vho that person.
[3761]might have been, the initials appear to be those of former
[3763]FHI Special Agent (SA) Daniel J. Brennan, Former SA E. R.
[3764]Cleyton approved the communicetion for Mr. Tolson. Notations .
[3765]on page 2 indicate that Mr. Belmont approved it and also
[3766]advised PBI Director Hoover of ita contents on December 18,
[3767]presumably 1964, No written approval by Mr. Hoover ig noted.
[3769]to respect to Item 21, we ore delivering e document
[3770]dated August 24, 1967, We have previously furnished the
[3772]- 9S, by memorendum dated June 24, 1975, and subtitled "Request
[3774]Pertaining to. Blectranic Surveilience,” an excised ‘copy of
[3776]the August 24, 1967, document. The copy which is now being
[3777]delivered conteina certein administretive date which had been
[3778]excised on previous delivery. However, those excisions
[3779]remaining relete to the substance of the memorendum and were .
[3780]made to protest the identity of a representative of a friendly
[3781]foreign intelligence service, the name of that service and
[3783]the neme of the country involved. -
[3785]. - With respect to the excisions in materials being
[3786]delivered herewith, where no notation appears as to reason
[3787]for excision, the excision was mede for the reason that the
[3788]information actually summarizes or quotes from conversations
[3789]monitored during electronic survelliances of King. In some
[3790]eases, it can be ascertained precisely what information in
[3791]FBI £4les came from electronic surveillances of Dr. King;
[3792]however, there exist areas where documentation of the
[3793]informetion fs not precise and no accurate determination can
[3794]be made. Therefore, no assurances can be given that portions
[3795]of the materiel being furnished do not contain information
[3796]developed as e result of electronic surveillances of King.

[4234]The enclosed article, captioned as above, is the i
[4235]one we have been preparing in line with approval of our :
[4236]recommendation to disseminate it on a select basis at a a
[4237]very high level to show current communist activities in {
[4238]relation to the Negro movement. It incorporates up-to-date - ‘
[4239]material just received from our New York Office relating H
[4240]to the recent meeting of the Communist Party's National ve |
[4241]Executive Committee. Discussion of racial matters was a
[4242]primary topic at the week-long meeting. 4 ‘
[4244]" The enclosed article is a factual, documented
[4245]| analysis of the over-all current situation. We believe
[4246]i¢that it would be of interest not only to the Attorney General
[4247]lbut also to Mr. O'Donnell, at the White House; Mr, McCone, at
[4248]the Central Intelligence Agency; Mr. Rusk, at the Department .
[4249]fof State; as well as to Mr.;, McNamara and the three Armed Forces
[4250],intelligence agencies of the Defense Department. Accordingly,
[4251];if the article as prepared is approved, we propose to dis-
[4252]?seminate it to the afore-mentioned individuals and agencies.

[4774]U. S. Government are involved, The Atlanta Office has
[4775]recommended that Senator Richard Russell (D, Georgia) be
[4776]advised concerning this matter. This appears inadvisable
[4777]Since such action could conceivably cause repercussions which
[4778]would only aggravate the racial situation that exists in the
[4779]South.
[4781]It is felt that Dr. Leland J, Havorth, Director,
[4782]NSF, should be. furnished information regarding communist
[4783]influences exerted on the SCIC and King. in this regard
[4784]we recently disseminated to the White House and the us
[4785]heads of the intelligence community copies of a "Top Secret"
[4786]summary entitled “Communism and the Negro Movement--4
[4787]Current Analysis" which contains information regarding the
[4788]SCIC and King, This summary deals with King’s cormunist

[6553]Issue raised by the SSC here is that they have
[6554]detected in their investigation of the Internal Revenue
[6555]Service and through review of Cointelpro documents furnished
[6556]to them by the FBI instances relating to FBI use of tax
[6557]return information, Included in this material were a

[6559]according to the documents, recéived tax returns or tax
[6560]return information from Internal Revenue Service employees,
[6561]Garlier the SSC had sought to interview individuals who
[6562]assisted us in several of our Cointelpro operations, We
[6563]successfully resisted these attempts to obtain the identities
[6564]of such individuals and our assent to such interview by the
[6565]SSC, We were sustained in our position by the Attorney
[6566]General, Our position was based on the fact that we considered
[6567]that we had an obligation, expressed or implied, of confi-
[6568]dentiality toward such sources who had acted on our behalf,
[6570]The SSC now raises a question as to whether our
[6571]position concerning contacts with and identities of employees
[6572]of the Internal Revenue Service is the same aS with the
[6573]*confidential sources," For the reasons cited in our letter

[6664]Dear Mike: pone Ae
[6666]In connection with our investigation of thé
[6667]Internal Revenue Service, we have received a number of FBI
[6668]COINTELPRO documents relating to FBI use of tax return
[6669]information. Included in this material are a number of !
[6670]cases in which the FBI locally requested and, according
[6671]to the documents, received tax returns or tax return in-
[6672]formation from IRS employees, such as the local Chief of
[6673]Audit or Chief of Intelligence.
[6675]by ane Neg eet HceeM =
[6677]2 RAN
[6679]We wish to determine whether these requests
[6680]were tréated by the IRS as official requests and pre-
[6681]scribed procedures thus followed for disclosure of the
[6682]information, or whether the requests were treated as
[6683]informal requests and prescribed procedures ignored. We
[6684]cannot make this determination solely on the basis of the
[6685]FBI documents we have reviewed. In many cases, the only
[6686]way to determine how the requests were treated will be to
[6687]interview the IRS employees who handled the requests.
[6689]Since these requests were directed to a federal
[6690]agency, we are proceeding on the basis of a presumption
[6691]that the responses were properly cleared. If so, we do
[6692]not believe there is any basis for characterizing .the IRS
[6693]employees in question as “confidential sources". They
[6694]would then be in essentially the same position as the Com-.
[6695]missioner of Internal Revenue is where the request is
[6696]directed through normal channels to the National Office

[6711]and responded to officially. In the event it should turn
[6712]out that the responses were not officially approved, they
[6713]were nonetheless made by federal employees who should
[6714]have been acting within the scope of their official duties
[6715]and who, if they were not so acting, should certainly be
[6716]subject to interrogation regarding the circumstances of
[6717]their acting outside their authority.
[6719]In what is perhaps an excess of ‘caution. in view —
[6720]of the pending discussions regarding the questioning of
[6721]"confidential sources", we are submitting this situation
[6722]for your review lest you should disagree with our analysis
[6723]that these individuals cannot properly be so characterized.
[6724]Because IRS hearings are scheduled for the last week in
[6725]September, our need to question the people who released
[6726]the returns is very urgent, and we would appreciate your
[6727]‘advising us of your view on the subject at the earliest.

[6770]On 9/9/75, John E1Lif£, Domestic Task Force Head of
[6771]the Senate Select Committee, telephonically contacted SA Paul V.
[6772]Daly and requested that SA Douglas MacDougall be released for
[6773]purposes of submitting to a St interview concerning mail
[6774]openings.
[6776]ELLiff stated that he was currently being interviewed
[6777]by Senate Select Committee Staff Members on mail covers; however,
[6778]he indicated there is an apparent misunderstanding as the Senate: fj
[6779]Select Committee also requested that he be made available for ;
[6780]Staff interview on mail openings at the same time. EI11iff£ was //
[6781]advised that this was not true and that James Dick of the Senate.
[6782]Select Committee had requested only a release insofar as mail
[6783]covers was concerned for purposes of an interview with MacDougall
[6784]and that this particular topic had been confirmed with Dick on a
[6785]separate occasion to insure that their intent insofar as MacDougall
[6786]was. concerned was to interview him on mail covers. EI1Liff£ then
[6787]requested that MacDougall be released for mail openings and in-
[6788]quired as to how long this particular procedure might take. He
[6789]was informed that prior to MacDougali's being made available for
[6790]such an interview the Bureau would brief MacDougall concerning
[6791]his Fifth Amendment rights and would want MacDougall to have
[6792]sufficient time to consider whether he might want to retain
[6793]private counsel or whatever other steps he feels necessary to
[6794]protect his rights.
[6796]ELLiff£ subsequently recontacted SA Paul V. Daly
[6797]telephonically and stated he had checked with James Dick,
[6798]Senate Select Committee Staff Member, and determined that
[6799]Dick had only asked that MacDougall be made, available for

[6985]U. S. SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
[6986]INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC);
[6987]INTERVIEW OF FORMER ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JOSEPH K. PONDER
[6988]BY SSC STAFF MEMBER
[6990]| On August 28, 1975, I received a call from Mike
[6991]Epstein of the Staff of the Senate Select Committee. He
[6992]said he planned to be in Southern California on Labor Day
[6993]weekend and asked whether I would be available for
[6995]| interview on Sunday, August 31, 1975. I told him I would.
[6996]Epstein subsequently called me on August 30 and agreed
[6998]to meét me at my home at San Clemente on Sunday afternoon,
[6999]August 31, 1975.
[7001]The interview with Epstein took place between
[7002]3:40 pm and 4:05 pm. This included the time spent in
[7003]amenities and general conversation.
[7005]Regarding my Bureau background Epstein asked
[7006]during what period of time I was Special Agent in Charge
[7007]in Atlanta. I told him from April or May 1964 to
[7008]December 1966. He asked where I had been assigned before
[7009]that (Buffalo) and where I went after leaving Atlanta
[7010](New York). He asked no other questions about my Bureau
[7011]career. He asked if I were aware of telephone taps
[7012]Maintained by the Atlanta Office on Martin Luther King.
[7014]I replied that I was aware of certain taps placed and
[7015]removed during my tenure in Atlanta. He asked if there
[7016]were such coverage before I arrived in Atlanta and I told
[7017]him I was not aware of any. In response to these and
[7018]other subsequent questions I pointed out to Epstein that
[7020]T had not been personally involved in the King matter,
[7022]that I had various other responsibilities in Atlanta and
[7023]that after ten years I cannot now clearly recall information
[7024]which might answer his questions. I told him that every-
[7025]thing that was done was properly recorded, that the
[7027]records were accurate, and wherever my recollection differs
[7028]from the record, he should rely on the record to determine
[7029]what happened.
[7031]This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions
[7032]of the FBI. It is the property of the FBI and is loaned to
[7033]your agency; it and its contents are not to be distributed
[7034]outside your agency.

[7041]U. S. SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
[7042]INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC);
[7043]INTERVIEW OF FORMER ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JOSEPH K. PONDER
[7044]BY SSC STAFF MEMBER
[7046]He asked whether the request for the King
[7047]coverage originated at the Bureau or in Atlanta. I told
[7048]him I did not recall, but that in any case it was
[7049]| approved by the Bureau. He asked where it was monitored
[7051]and I told him the monitoring was done in an apartment
[7052]rented for that purpose. He asked if I knew the name in
[7053]which the apartment was rented and I said I did not. He
[7054]asked why the taps were discontinued and I told him I
[7055]do not now recall whether I was told why they were
[7056]discontinued, but if I were I cannot now recall the
[7057]| reason. He asked whether we had a bug on King as opposed
[7058]| to a tap and I told him, "no." He asked whether it were
[7059]possible there were taps and bugs placed and maintained
[7060]without my knowledge. I told him that was not possible
[7061]because of the size of the office and the relationship
[7062]I had with the supervisors and Agents that nothing was
[7063]done without my knowledge or without Bureau approval.
[7065]Epstein asked whether we had conducted any
[7066]Counterintelligence Program against King or the Southern
[7067]Christian Leadership Conference and I told him I recalled
[7068]none. He asked whether we had made efforts to prevent
[7069]King from receiving the Nobel Prize or efforts to interfere
[7070]with or make more difficult the raising of funds for a
[7071]banquet to honor King for his receipt of the Nobel Prize.
[7073]I told him I knew of no such efforts.
[7075]He asked whether Sullivan (Assistant Director
[7076]William C. Sullivan) had visited Atlanta. I told him
[7077]Sullivan had been to Atlanta in connection with a regional
[7078]conference dealing with the Bureau's investigation of the
[7079]Klan. Hé wanted to know if Baumgartner had been with Sullivan
[7080]and I told him I thought so. He asked who else had
[7081]accompanied Sullivan and I told him Arbor Gray had
[7082]accompanied Sullivan and perhaps someone else whose name
[7083]I cannot now recall. He asked whether Sullivan had met
[7084]with Ralph Magill (then publisher of the Atlanta
[7085]Constitution). I told him Sullivan may have met with Magill,
[7086]that I may have accompanied Sullivan to Magill's office,
[7087]but I cannot specifically recall such a meeting and if it

[7095]BY SSC STAFF MEMBER
[7097]were held I cannot recall anything discussed. He asked
[7098]the purpose of such a meeting and I told him if such a
[7099]meeting took place it was in the nature of a social
[7101]call with Sullivan paying his respects to Magill anda
[7102]public: relations-type of meeting. He asked whether there
[7103]was any discussion between Sullivan and Magill regarding
[7104]any anti-King activities and I told him, "no." He asked
[7105]whether Sullivan had made any other visits to Atlanta
[7106]and I told him I knew of none.
[7108]He asked whether I was aware of any inquiry
[7109]made by the Bureau into the handling of the King
[7110]investigation either through the Inspection Staff or
[7111]otherwise. I told him I was not aware of any. He asked
[7112]whether Nichols, the Agent assigned to the King
[7113]investigation had been in Atlanta while I was there. I
[7114]told him I had hazy recall of Nichols, but did not
[7115]recall him. He asked the same thing about Al Sentinella.
[7116]I told him Senhtinella was there when I arrived and was
[7117]still there when I left Atlanta. He asked who had
[7118]supervised the Security Squad. I told him Supervisor
[7119]Charles Harding.

[7286]Dear Mr, Kelley:
[7288]v ~
[7289]A In accordance with instructions received from f
[7290]) the Bureau, I am enclosing a bill in the amount of $750.00 wo
[7292]from the law firm of Kantor, Shaw & Davidoff. Mr. Herbert . ~
[7294]Kantor is an attorney who agted as my ccunsel during an ee
[7295]appearance by me before thd.Senate Select Committee on ™~
[7296]Intelligence Operations in WAshingtety De Cr "onemueust 12, ae
[7299]After notification by the Committee and the Bureau f AY
[7300]that my appearance had been requested, I was advised by the —*
[7302]Legal Department of the Bureau that I had the right to have
[7303]en attorney accompany me during my appearance, IF was @lso
[7305]advised by the Bureau that nelther they nor the Department
[7307]of Justice could provide me with coursel due to a possible
[7309]conflict of interest on their part.
[7311]te
[7315]s
[7316]at
[7318]The matters to be discussed before the Committee
[7319]involved cnly my prior official duties in the counter-
[7320]intelligence field. At this point, I strongly believed
[7321]that to best protect both my constitutional privileges and
[7322]the Bureau’s overriding interest, the most prudent course
[7323]of action would indicate the retention of an attorney. I
[7324]would like to advise you that much thought was paid to the
[7325]Selection of an attorney Since confidential Bureau activities
[7326]would have to be discussed with him and it was felt that the
[7327]person selected would, in effect, be representing the Bureau
[7328]in addition to m pelt. .

[9478]September 3, 1975
[9479]Atlanta, Georgia
[9481]On September 2, 1975, Mr. Paul G. Wallach, Counsel
[9482]to the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with
[9483]Respect to Intelligence Activities of the United States Senate
[9484]arrived at my office located at 6165 Barfield Road, Atlanta,
[9485]Georgia 30302, at approximately 10:10 a.m. His interview with
[9486]me commenced at approximately 10:15 a.m. and lasted until
[9487]approximately 10:50 a.m. This interview was not conducted
[9488]under oath. Mr. Wallach did not advise me of my rights. I
[9489]drove Mr. Wallach to Perimeter Mall where he caught the 11:00 a.m.
[9490]bus to the Airport.
[9492]; During the interview Mr. Wallach asked how long
[9493]I had served in the Federal Bureau of Investigation and what
[9494]areas I worked in during my FBI career. He was told that my
[9495]FBI career started on March 19, 1951, and ended with my
[9496]retirement on January 27, 1973. During this time I was
[9497]assigned to criminal work for two years, worked in the Soviet
[9498]Intelligence field for approximately 17 years, and again handled
[9499]criminal work for the last three years of my Bureau career.
[9501]Wallach wanted to know if I worked with James Kehoe.
[9502]I told him that for the most part Kehoe and I were on different
[9503]squads, although we both worked in the Soviet Intelligence
[9504]field. We did work on the same squad during the first years
[9505]of our assignment to this type of work.
[9507]Wahlach wanted to know if I was aware of the operation
[9508]involving the mail at Kennedy Airport and at other post offices
[9509]in the New York area. I told him that officially I was not aware
[9510]of these operations but that in fact I knew of the operations.
[9511]Wallach wanted to know if I had ever been assigned to work in
[9512]a post office and my answer was "no".
[9514]Wallach then wanted to know if I was acquainted
[9515]with Sam Jaffee. After my affirmative answer he wanted to
[9516]know how I met him, why I interviewed him, whether I had to
[9517]have permission to interview him, what kind of information
[9518]he furnished, whether I had ever asked him to do anything,
[9519]and whether Jaffee was an informant. He also wanted to know
[9520]when I first met Jaffee, how frequently I saw him, over what
[9521]period of time I was seeing him, and when I last saw him.
[9523]| NW 88926 Docld:32989653 Page 166
[9528]. oy
[9531]-
[9533]I told Wallach that I could not remember dates
[9534]and other details of my relationship with Jaffee,but that
[9535]information responsive to his questions could be found
[9536]recorded in FBI files as I had prepared detailed memos
[9537]reflecting all of my contacts with Jaffee. I told Wallach
[9538]that if he were entitled to the information he was seeking,
[9539]I'd suggest that he get hold of the file on Jaffee. Wallach
[9540]said he understood my position, but that before going through
[9541]the process of getting a file "they" liked to talk to a few
[9542]individuals to see if information the Committee had was
[9543]worth pursuing.
[9545]Wallach acknowledged that it would not be possible
[9546]for me to furnish specific information, such as dates, after
[9547]the passage of such a long period of time. Thereafter, in
[9548]response to inquiry, he was told that Jaffee was in contact
[9549]with many diplomatic officials, including Soviets, in his
[9551]. capacity as a CBS newsman. I could not specifically remember
[9552]how this information came to the Bureau's attention. I did
[9553]have some background information on Jaffee and it was necessary
[9554]for me to get permission before I could interview him. He
[9555]was told that I did not know specifically who authorized the
[9556]interview.
[9558]Wallach wanted to know what approach was used
[9559]during the initial interview with Jaffee. He was told that
[9560]I could not specifically recall his information, but &hat
[9561]John Willis and I conducted the interview. Both of us were
[9562]keenly aware of the FBI's policy of not interfering with the
[9563]Freedom 6f the Press and we wanted to make sure that Jaffee
[9564]understood this. We also wanted to make sure that Jaffee
[9565]understood that we did not want to place him in a difficult
[9566]or embarrassing position by talking to him and that if he
[9567]found our presence to be a problem we would leave immediately.
[9568]He was told that Jaffee proved to be most cooperative and that
[9569]thereafter we were in contact with Jaffee frequently. Wallach
[9570]wanted to know how often and he was told that sometimes we
[9571]were in contact with him two or three times a week, once
[9572]every two weeks, or perhaps once a month. He was told that
[9573]all contacts were recorded in writing in the file, along with
[9574]the results of the contact.
[9576]Concerning information which Jaffee furnished,
[9577]Wallach was told that Jaffee furnished information concerning
[9578]current events of major and minor importance on the inter-
[9579]national scene, which came to his attention as a result of
[9581]; NW 88326 Docid:32989653 Page 167
[9585]o .
[9587]his contacts with numerous individuals in diplomatic
[9588]circles. He was again told that all of this information
[9589]was reduced to writing and I understood that it was
[9590]disseminated to other government agencies, including
[9592]the U. S. Mission to the UN and the State Department.
[9593]Wallach wanted to know how I knew this to be the case.
[9595]I explained that FBI policy required dissemination of
[9596]information to other government agencies and I felt certain
[9597]that this policy was followed in the case of memoranda
[9598]prepared as a result of my contacts with Jaffee.
[9600]Wallach asked if Jaffee was an informant and
[9601]I told him that Jaffee might more properly be called a
[9602]Source of Information.
[9604]Wallach then wanted to know if I requested Jaffee
[9605]to do anything in the course of contacts with him. Wallach
[9606]was told that Jaffee may have been asked to follow up on
[9607]information which he furnished or make contact with a specific
[9608]individual but that this did not occur very often, if at all,
[9609]since Jaffee was a free spirit, who usually did as he pleased.
[9610]I then explained that during my contacts with Jaffee I received
[9611]frequent calls from other FBI Agents who said that Jaffee was
[9612]using my name in order to cross police lines or get information
[9613]while covering a story of major importance,such as airplane
[9614]hijacking. This in spite of repeated requests on my part
[9615]that he cease doing this.
[9617]Wallach asked if I knew whether Jaffee had ever
[9618]been followed by FBI Agents. I pointed out that Jaffee had
[9619]been followed by FBI Agents and, in fact, talked to Agents
[9620]who were following him, as well as Agents going about their
[9621]business. He often mentioned my name to these Agents.
[9623]Wallach asked if I was aware that Jaffee did a
[9624]television program on the FBI. I said that I was aware of
[9625]this and in fact, at his request, arranged to have him visit
[9626]Camp Smith with a camera crew to cover our firearms training
[9627]program.
[9629]Wallach was told that I could not remember when
[9630]I last saw Jaffee, but that I last talked to him when he
[9631]returned from Hong Kong. At this time Jaffee called my home
[9632]from Washington, D. C. and told my daughter that he had to
[9633]talk to me immediately about an urgent problem. When I
[9637]j NW 60326 Dochd:32999653 Page 163
[9641]a we ow, @ ™
[9642]. 7 » f
[9644]returned Jaffee's call I listened to him for about five
[9645]to ten minutes repeatedly telling me how the FBI or CIA
[9646]or some individual had furnished information to ABC-TV
[9647]which cost him his fob. Jaffee would not listen to me
[9648]as I tried to explain that he had to be mistaken. I then
[9649]got sick of listening to him and hung up on him.
[9651]Wallach was told that this was typical of Jaffee
[9652]who often thought that there was something personal involved
[9653]when he failed to get an assignment or a news item, which he
[9654]covered,was not shown on the evening news program, Wallach
[9655]was told that Jaffee was an intelligent and personable guy
[9656]with a burning ambition, who wanted to become a Walter
[9657]Cronkite or a Marvin Kalb overnight. Wallach was told that
[9658]I did not believe that Jaffee completed college and he was
[9659]probably not otherwise qualified for some of these positions,
[9660]which he would like to have had immediately. I then told
[9661]Wallach that in my opinion Jaffee had the same problem at
[9662]ABC that he had at CBS and at both places he was probably:
[9663]overly aggressive and not amenable to direction.
[9665]Wallach was also told that Willis and I found
[9666]Jaffee to be an interesting guy who we enjoyed talking to
[9667]but that he positively would not accept advice or direction.
[9669]Wallach wanted to know if I was acquainted with
[9670]Special Agents Reeves, Winton or Graves and I gave a negative
[9671]reply. It should be noted that Wallach had a first name for.
[9672]each of these individuals but I do not recall these names.
[9673]He then wanted to know if I knew Bgrt Turner. I did know
[9674]Bert Turner as a Supervisor in WFO d possibly at the Bureau.
[9676]Wallach wanted to know if I would be surprised
[9677]to learn that Jaffee had been interviewed by Bureau Agents
[9678]for four days upon his return from Hong Kong. I said that
[9679]I would be surprised.
[9681]He also wanted to know if I would be surprised
[9682]to learn that the FBI or CIA had furnished information to
[9683]ABC-TV which cost Jaffee his job. I said that I would be
[9684]most surprised and that I did not believe there was any
[9685]possibility that this could happen. I told Wallach that
[9686]in my opinion Jaffee was perfectly capable of losing his
[9687]job on his own.
[9689]|. NW 88326 Dochd:32589653 Page 169
[9692]Ay & -
[9693]an oie P
[9695]Wallach then asked if I had ever talked to any
[9696]other newspaper people. I told him that I once talked to
[9697]Irving R. Levine many years ago. He wantéd to know if I
[9698]knew of any other Agents of the FBI who were talking to
[9699]people in the news media. I said that I did not.
[9701]Wallach then made reference to newspaper articles
[9702]of recent date concerning the FBI's relationship with
[9703]newspaper people friendly to the FBI, In response to inquiry
[9704]I told him that I knew absolutely nothing about this.
[9706]At the outset of the interview Wallach asked if
[9707]I told the FBI about his visit and I said that I had called
[9708]the Atlanta FBI Office and that as soon as he left I would
[9709]again call the Atlanta FBI Office and give an Agent a rundown
[9710]on the interview. He said that the FBI had notified the
[9711]Select Committee about my call.
[9713]He wanted to know if I had called the FBI in
[9714]Washington and I gave a negative reply. He also wanted to
[9715]know if I had talked to John Willis. I had not.
[9717]Before leaving Wallach commented that he did not

[10038]letters or other correspondence from 1951 to date which the
[10039]FBI had received or generated with respect to its contacts
[10040]or involvement with the White House, tne Attorney General,
[10041]Post Office Department or Postal Service and GIA in comnection
[10042]with the inception, implementation or declination of partici-~

[10048]Special Committee on 8/15/last, it was requested that this
[10049]program be cleared with the Criminal Division first. The
[10050]tumter policy file has been reviewed and documents considered
[10051]to be pertinent have been Xeroxed and will be held for review

[10364]of some field offices concerning this particular aspect.
[10365]However, their extensive review has been unsuccessful. One
[10366]reason for the unsuccessful attempts to retrieve this
[10367]particular information both at FBIHQ and in the field can be
[10368]‘attributed to the fact that FBI cleur indices did not come

[11044]ORMATION CONTAINED ©
[11045]PRL TORE?
[11047]| : . metic pre ben SONPEDENEE AE :
[11049]The recent decision of the Supreme Court entitled Irvine vy
[11050]California, 347 U.S. 128, denouncing the use of microphone surveil-
[11051]lances by city police in a gambling case makes appropriate a reappraisal
[11052]of the use which may be made in the future by the Federal Bureau of
[11053]~~~ Investigation of microphone surveillance in connection with matters
[11054]relating to the internal security of the country.
[11056]It is clear that in some instances the use of microphone ws
[11057]surveillance is the only possible way of uncovering the activities .
[11058]. of espionage agents, possible saboteurs, and subversive persons. In’ >.
[11059]such instances I am of the opinion that the national interest requires.
[11060]that microphone surveillance be utilized by the Federal Bureau of 5
[11061]Investigation. This use need not be limited to the development of ot
[11062]evidence for prosecution. The FBI has an intelligence function in —
[11063]connection with internal security matters equally as important as
[11064]the duty of developing evidence for presentation to the courts and ~
[11065]‘the national security requires that the FBI be able to use microphone
[11066]surveillance for the proper discharge of both of such functions. a
[11067]The Department of Justice approves the use of microphone surveillance — -
[11068]by the FBI under these circumstances and for these purposes. oi
[11070]8 \ I do not consider that the decision of the Supreme Court
[11072]' dn Irvine-v. California, supra, requires a different course. That
[11074]‘ease is readily distinguishable on its facts. The language of the _
[11076]Court, showever, indicates certain uses of microphones which it would ——
[11078]-7 be well to avoid, if possible, even in internal security investiga~
[11080]/, tions. It is quite clear that in the Irvine case the Justices of the
[11082]“v—--—Supreme Court were outraged by what they regarded as the indecency of
[11083]installing a microphone in a bedroom. They denounced the utilization
[11084]of such methods of investigation in a gambling case as shocking. ‘The
[11085]Court's action is a clear indication of the need for discretion and
[11086]‘intelligent restraint in the use of microphones by the FBI in ali
[11087]eases, including internal security matters. Obviously, the installa- —
[11088]tion of @ microphone in a bedroom or in some comparably intimate
[11089]location should be avolded wherever possible. It may appear, however,
[11090]that important intelligence or evidence relating to matters connected
[11091]with the national security can only be obtained by the installation of
[11092]a microphone in such a location, It 1s my opinion that wnder such
[11093]circumstances the installation is proper and is not prohibited by the
[11094]Supreme Court's decision in the Irvin case. ; . oT

[11106]Previous interpretations which have been furnished to you
[11107]as to what may constitute trespass in the installation of microphones,
[11108]suggest that the views expressed have been tentative in nature and
[11109]have attempted to predict the course which courts would follow
[11110]rather than reflect the present state of the law. It is reali-:d
[11111]that not infrequently the question of trespass arises in connection
[11113],--with the installation of a microphone. The question of whether a ;
[11114]trespass is actually involved and the second question of the effeot
[11115]of such a trespass upon the admissibility in court of the evidence thus
[11116]obtained, must necessarily be resolved according to the circumstances
[11117]of each case. The Department in resolving the problems which may arise
[11118]in connection with the use of microphone surveillance will review the
[11119]ciroumstances in each case in the light of the practical necessities
[11120]of investigation and of the national interest which must be protected.s
[11121]It is my opinion that the Department should adopt that interpretation
[11122]which will permit microphone coverage by the FBI in a manner most
[11123]conducive to our national interest. I recognize that for the FBI.
[11125]. to fulfill its important intelligence function, considerations of
[11126]internal security and the national safety are paramount and, thore=
[11127]fore, may compel the unrestricted use of this technique in tne national -

[11470]With reference to the proper controls over wiretapping and .
[11472]the Installation of microphones, you will recall that I advised you
[11473]_. that back under the administration of Attorney General Clark TI
[11475]recommended that all Government agencles refrain from wiretapping
[11476]unless there was specific approval in each instance by the Attorney
[11477]General who is the chief law officer of the Government. I repeated
[11478]the same recommendation to each successive Attorney General following -',
[11479]the administration of Attorney General Clark, . I
[11481], ' <I have always felt that there was a very lax control’in the — .
[11482]handling of wiretapping by Government agencies. I am the only head
[11483]of a Goverment investigative agency who does not have the authority
[11485]~ to authorize a wiretap, but under the system which I personally set
[11487]. up. Therefore, requests for wiretaps are sent by me to the Attorney: |
[11488]General for his approval or disapproval. I know thet no such system .
[11489]is followed in other branches of the Government and, in fact, in many
[11490]instances subordinates quite far down the line of authority tap tele- - .
[11491]phones without the specific approval of the head of the agency and
[11492]certainly without specific approval of the cabinet officer in charge
[11493]of the department. vs . .
[11495]/ I still feel quite strongly that no Government agency should,

[11497]the Attorney General, This would certainly cireumseribe promiscnous. q ‘4
[11498]wiretapping on the part of Government agencies and would centralize ’ |,

[12731]_ SORPEOENEEAS—
[12733]The recent decision of the Suprene Cozrt entitied ne Ve
[12734]California, 4 347 B28. 126, denouncing the use of micrcphone surveil
[12736]ces police in a gambling tase makes _inpropriate a reeppratcal
[12737]of the tee: Bich may be nade in the f:ture by the eral Bureau o
[12738]Investigation of ml cropbone survelllance in vonngetion with cepters
[12740]relating te the internal security of the country.
[12742]It 4s clear that in gone instances the use of microphone
[12744]surveil lance is the only possible way of uncovering the activ ties
[12746]of of espiona ge agents: posarble saboteurs, and subversive persons. In
[12747]tances I an of the opinion that the national interest requires
[12749]that nierophone surveillance ba utilized by the Federal Bureau o
[12751]Investigation. This use need not be limited to the develoment ot
[12753]evidence for prosecution. The FBI has an intel ieence function in
[12755]connection with internal security matters aqualiy as important as.
[12757]the auty of develo ing evidence for presentation to the courts and
[12759]the national secur: t, y requires that the FSI be able to use microphone
[12761]surveillance for the pronar discharge of both of such functions.
[12763]The Denartnent of Justice anproves the tse of microphone surveillance
[12765]by the FSI under these clrownstances and for these purposes.
[12767]I do not consider that the decision of the Suprexe Court
[12768]in Irvine -v. : SHOE: zequires a different course. That
[12769]case is r vy distings e on its facts. The language of the
[12771], however. indicates certain uses of microphones which it would
[12772]be well to avoid, 4f possible qven, in internal security investiga-
[12773]tions. It is quite clear ¢ that in drying case the Justices of the
[12774]Supreme Court ware ou y vont they sogarded as the indecency of
[12775]installing a microphons ey denoun cod the utiliza ion
[12776]of such methods of invest. Seton in ina ing case as shocking.
[12777]Court's action 1s a clear dleation « of the need for discretion and
[12779]inteii & restraint in the use of mic s by the FBI in all
[12780]eases, tneluding internal security matters. Obviously, the instalia-
[12781]tion of a microphone in a bedroom er in some comparably intimate
[12782]Lloeation should be avoided wherever r possible. It may eppesr , however,
[12783]that important intelligence or evidence relating to oO mat ers connected”
[12784]with the national security can only be obtained by the installation of
[12785]a microphone in such a location, It is my opinion that under auch
[12786]Suprene Court's an cision & in th is proper andi is not prohibited by the
[12788]e Cou ecision

[12796]Previous interpretations which have been furnished to you
[12797]as to what constitute trespass in the installation of microphones, .
[12798]suggest that the vievs expressed have been tentative in nature and
[12799]have attenpted to @iet the course which corrts would follow
[12801]than reflect the present state of the law. It is realized
[12802]that not infrequently the question of trespass arises in connection
[12803]with the inst: tion of a microphones. The question of whether
[12804]tresnass is actually involved and the second question of the effect
[12805]of such a trespass upon the admissibility in court of the evidence thus
[12806]ebtained, must necessarliy be resolved eaoording to the cirounstances
[12807]of each cage. The Departuent in resolving the sroblems which may arise
[12808]in connection with the tse of att mee surveillance will review the
[12809]ofreunatances in each ease in the £ the sractical necessities
[12810]of investigation and of the national interest which must be protected.
[12811]It is my opinion that the Department should adopt fat interpretetion .
[12812]which will permit microphone coverage by the FBI in a manner most
[12813]conducive to our national interest. I recognize that for the FSI
[12814]to fulfill tty important intelligence fenetion, considerations of

[12951]the administration of Attorney General Clark.
[12953]. ZI have always felt that there was.a very lax control in the
[12954]handling of wiretapping by Government agencies. I am the only head
[12955]of a Government investigative agency who does not have the authority
[12956]to authorize a wiretap, but under system which I personally set
[12957]uy. Therefore, requests for wiretaps are sent by me to the Attorney
[12958]General for his approval or disapproval. I know that no such system
[12959]is followed in other branches of the Government and, in fact, in many
[12960]instances subordinates quite far down the line of authority tap tele-
[12961]phones without the specific approval of the head of the agency and
[12962]certainly without specific approval of the cabinet officer in charge
[12963]of the department. :
[12965]I still feel quite strongly that no Government agency should
[12966]tap a telephone unless it is specifically approved in each instance by
[12967]the Attorney General. This would certainly ciroumseribe promiscuous
[12968]wiretapping on the part of Government agencies and would centralize
[12969]in one place, the Attorney General's office, a record of any phone taps
[12970]which have been placed by a Govermnent agency.
[12972]As you are aware, in the case of the FBI we do not request
[12973]phone taps except in cases involving kidna and espionage. This
[12974]has been predicated uno my theory that when the life of an individval
[12975]or the life of the Nation is in peril a phone tap is justified for
[12976]intelligence purposes as any information obtained over a phone tap
[12977]cannot be used in the trial of a criminal case.

[13378]FA { San stu Ay | IFS a
[13380]Qn the afternoon of August 19, 1975, Jon EllI£ of the
[13381]. SSC staff, telephoned me to report that the Committee has
[13382]decided to defer on its pending request for the identity of
[13383]various so-called "recipient-source”™ witnesses in the COINTEL
[13384]il program. .
[13386]Mr. E1lif also emphasized that he wished to apologize
[13387]fs to the Attorney General for possibly misstating the grounds
[13388]4 2 as to why the Committee and the staff had decided to reject
[13389]>? the proposals apparently agreed upon by Senator Church and
[13392]fot the Attorney General.
[13394]boty Finally, I noted to John ELLi£ that I continue to have
[13395]F 2 difficulty in understanding why the staff insists that they
[13397]th
[13399][i= need further witnesses to establish any possible "damage" to
[13400]the targets of the COINTEL program. Eliif-finally agreed
[13402]A that since they do know the names and identities of the targets, ji ps
[13404]& the latter probably would be the best witnesses on this issue — f: (
[13406]D in any event. Nonetheless, ELlif did stress that it.is possible CA,
[13407]that later on in the fall, the Committee and its staffi may choose '
[13409]to come back and press its demands for the right to interview
[13411]the recipient-source witnesses.

[14239]By a prior oral arrangement between Mr. Mark oral
[14240]Gitenstein, Staff Member, Senate Select Committee (SSC), andl.
[14241]Me. W. BR. Wannail, Assistant Director, Intelligence Division ( NID);
[14242]a briefing was scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on 8/28/75. This
[14243]briefing was to consist of a discussion of the various indices
[14244]maintained, and..operated.by the FBI. “Information pertaining
[14245]to these indices had previously been submitted the SSC by
[14246]letterhead memorandum dated July 17, 1975, and documents
[14247]pertaining to the indices were made available for review by
[14248]appropriately cleared SSC Staff Members at FBI Headquarters.
[14250]This briefing was held in the conference room of
[14251]the INTD, JEH Building, on 8/28/75 during the approximate
[14252]period 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m, Present at this meeting were ha

[14255]INTD, Mark Gitenstein, Michael Epstein, and Martha Talley,
[14256]Staff Members of the SSC.
[14260]Main items of discussion during this briefing gt
[14261]centered around the Rabble Rouser Index (RRI), later known as
[14262]the Agitator Index (AT); the” Key Activist. Program (KAP), the
[14263]Security. Index (SI), and the Administ€ative ‘Index (ADEX). The
[14264]origin and “implementation of the above-mentioned indices and
[14265]the KAP were discussed and Mr. Wannall offered background
[14266]information and historical reasoning as to the necessity for
[14267]implementing these indices and the KAP. Mr. Deegan answered
[14268]questions pertaining to the AI and Messts Grigalus and

[14293]62-116395
[14295]were advised there is no plan of action in the FBI for the
[14296]apprehension of the individuals so listed. The SSC Staff
[14297]Members were advised individuals currently listed on the
[14298]ADEX would merely be afforded priority investigative attention
[14299]during any national emergency which should occur; however,
[14300]they would not be apprehended. SSC Staff Members also
[14301]indicated they felt criteria for inclusion on the ADEX
[14302]when first established were the same as the criteria for
[14303]inclusion on the old SI. They were advised when the ADEX
[14304]PYogram was initiated the criteria were basically the same;
[14305]however, after closely following the matter for a period
[14306]of approximately 8 months, the criteria were reevaluated
[14307]and revised So only individuals who were considered
[14308]currently dangerous were to be included on the ADEX.
[14310]SSC Staff Members were also advised that the SI was
[14312]stored "off-line" in the Bureau's computers and as such
[14313]was utilized in a strictly in-house operation. Informa-
[14314]tion was therefore not available to outside agencies or
[14315]terminals tied in with the Bureau's computer system,
[14317]Staff Members also indicated from a review of material
[14318]made available to them it appeared as though there was
[14319]friction between the Bureau and the Department during the
[14320]late 1940s and early 1950s with respect to establishing
[14321]guidelines and policy in connection with the SI and they
[14322]desired to know what the cause of this friction was. INTD
[14323]representatives present advised they were unaware of the
[14324]cause of any such friction.
[14326]Other questions similar to those above were asked
[14327]by the SSC Staff Members and were answered by INTD personnel
[14328]present. In addition the following nine questions were asked
[14329]by the SSC Staff Members and Mr. Wannall indicated answers
[14330]would be obtained and orally furnished:
[14332]i
[14334]1. Was there a memorandum which established the
[14335]RRI and does it indicate Mr. Hoover appeared before the
[14336]Civil Unrest Commission? (A memorandum dated 3/67 from
[14337]C. D. Brennan to Mr, W. C. Sullivan indicates - Hoover
[14338]instructed an index be compiled of racial agitators; however,
[14339]the memorandum does not indicate Mr. Hoover appeared before
[14340]the Civil Unrest Commission.)

[14348]Re: Senstudy 75
[14349]62-116395
[14351]2. Was there a memorandum concerning the
[14352]expansion of the AI to include individuals of local
[14353]prominence? (Memorandum of G. C. Moore to Mr. W. C.
[14354]Sullivan dated 11/22/67 requested approval of an SAC
[14355]letter for expanding the AI to include local leaders as
[14356]well as national leaders involved in racial disorders.)
[14358]3. Were individuais included on both the AI and
[14359]the SI and, if so, wasn't this a duplication of effort?
[14360](Individuals were included on both the AI and the SI;
[14361]however, this was not necessarily a duplication of effort
[14362]inasmuch as the SI was to be utilized in the apprehension
[14363]and detention of individuals considered dangerous and the
[14364]AI was an administrative aid to follow the activities and
[14365]movement of individuals attempting to cause racial
[14366]disorders.)
[14368]4. When did the SI become automated and was the &
[14369]Reserve Index (RI) ever automated? (The SI became automated
[14370]during the early 1950s and was updated throughout the years
[14371]with the advancement of computer technology and purchase
[14372]by the Bureau of more advanced computers. Following
[14373]discontinuance of the SI the ADEX was continued in the
[14374]computer systems in an "off-line" manner. The RI-A-
[14375]was placed on automatic data processing (ADP) equipment
[14376]the same as the SI. RI-B was maintained at the field
[14377]level only and was never placed in the ADP equipment.)
[14379]5. Has the Bureau's copy of the Attorney General's
[14380]portfolio concerning the Emergency Detention Program (EDP)
[14381]been returned? (One copy of the Attorney General's
[14382]portfolio concerning the EDP has been located and is
[14383]currently maintained in the Security Informant Unit of
[14384]the IS-2 Section, INTD.)
[14386]6. Who were the Bureau individuals who
[14388](a) maintained the Attorney General's portfolio during
[14389]1968 and (b) involved with the EDP during the 1940s?
[14390](The following individuals were identified through
[14391]review of pertinent communications during time pexpod
[14392]in question: (a) 1968 - C. D. Brennan, P. F. Enlow,
[14393]T, P, Rosack; (b) 1946-D. M. Ladd, J. C. Strickland;

[14408]7. When did the Department start reviewing and
[14409]approving the SI list? (Matters pertaining to the oid
[14410]Custodial Detention List were first referred to the
[14411]Department during March, 1941. Copies of the SI were
[14412]submitted to the Department during 1951 and the Department,
[14413]on a continuing basis, reviewed matters pertaining to the
[14414]SI except for brief periods of time when funds and manpower
[14415]were not available until the SI was discontinued in 1971.)
[14417]8. Was there a form used by the Department
[14418]concerning the continuance or cancellation of individuals
[14419]on the SI and, if so, what does the form look like?
[14420](Forms were utilized and copies have been obtained to
[14421]exhibit to SSC Staff Members.)
[14423]9. Do we have a copy of the form for including
[14424]or deleting an individual from the AI? (FD-397 was
[14425]utilized with the AI. A copy of this form will be
[14426]exhibited to SSC Staff Members.)
[14428]At the closure of this briefing SSC Staff Members
[14429]expressed their appreciation to the Bureau personnel present
[14430]and indicated the briefing had furnished them a better
[14431]understanding of the Bureau's utilization of the above
[14432]indices and the KAP.
[14434]ACTION:
[14436]With your approval and in accordance with your
[14437]previous instructions the Senstudy Unit will initiate contact
[14438]with Mr. Gitenstein so answers relating to the above nine
[14439]questions may be orally provided to the above-named SSC

[14585]On 8/22/75, John T. ELLI££, Task Force Director for
[14587]the Domestic Intelligence Task Force of the Senate Select Com
[14589]mittee, advised that regarding proposed plans for testimony
[14591]by Bureau officials before the Senate Select Committee that
[14593]the Committee tentatively scheduled hearings for mid-October.
[14595]He cited October 16th as being the approximate date. Ini-
[14597]tially, according to E11iff, hearings. concerning the Bureau
[14599]were to have been initiated in the first week of October but
[14601]the Staff Members did not have the necessary background in-
[14603]formation to conduct the hearings at that time and instead
[14605]scheduled hearings. concerning IRS for early October. Z )
[14606](
[14608]ELLif£ indicated that the tentative format for
[14609]these hearings would be to furnish the Bureau an outline of
[14610]or a series of questions pertaining to the area to be cover
[14611]in testimony prior to our appearance. He indicated that the,.
[14612]hearings would cover a narrow topic on any given day so that
[14613]a Bureau official could be briefed and r md to questions
[14614]raised concerning the particular subject m Eyer
[14616]ELLif£ indicated that typical subj chee of hearings
[14617]concerning the FBI would be a one-day hearin vot on political
[14619]abuse or a series of hearings on COIN |
[14620]BAt?4 WG 3/47 4] y
[14622]ELLif££ indicated that it was the Committee's intent
[14623]to continue hearings regarding the FBI into mid-December once
[14624]they are initiated with the Bureau testifying at least once
[14625]a week during that period. He advised they also envisioned
[14626]the initial hearing as setting forth what the scope of the
[14627]Senate Select Committee inquiry had been into the FBI and of
[14628]topics to be covered by hearings. Elliff felt this would
[14629]inform the House Select Committee of what areas erent

[14648]On 8/25/75, SA Daly determined from Michael
[14649]Epstein of the Senate Select Committee that this
[14650]particular interview was not considered an "abuse"
[14651]interview and if the Bureau so desired, they could have
[14652]a representative present during the interview. Accord-
[14653]ingly, Recommendation #2 in this memorandum should be
[14654]changed to show that an Agent may, in fact, be present.

[15207]personnel who assisted the FBI in’certain instances, such
[15208]as “an IRS Special Agent" or "an IRS Inspector". We will
[15209]make these identifications. based upon our notes from the

[15211]in which such descriptions have béen typed in order that

[16738]Dear Mr. Daly:
[16740]Enclosed is a list of documents which the Senate Select
[16741]commbbtes. on Intelligence Activities may decide to declassity
[16742]or its public hearings on the Huston Plan. We invite your
[16743]opinion on any sections which you think ought to be sanitized
[16744]before declassification. Of course, the great majority of
[16745]key documents on the Huston Plan are already a matter of public
[16746]record,
[16748]Since these hearings may be held as early as September 23rd
[16749]and certainly by early October, your quick response would be
[16750]most helpful. L
[16755]Sincerely,

[17125]Dear Mike:
[17129]The following two documents, which relate to the Martin
[17130]Luther King, dr. matter, are the subject of a pending Committee
[17131]‘request for documents: :
[17133]A. Airtel dated 2/12/62 from SAC, New York, to
[17134]Director, FBI, subject "Dr. Martin Luther King,
[17135]dr., SM-C (00:Atlanta) ;"and
[17137]B. Airtel dated 8/15/66 from SAC, New York, to
[17138]Director, FBI, subject “Communist Party, USA,
[17139]Counterintelligence Program, Internal Security
[17140]~ Cc (Stanley David Levison)."
[17142]- These two documents had been previously provided to the
[17143]Committee in heavily or almost completely excised form.
[17144]Virtually the entire contents of Item A. (a 3-page airtel)
[17145]were excised because "it could- result in identification of an
[17146]FBI informant," and more than 12 pages of Item B. (a 29-page
[17147]airtel) were excised because such portions contained information
[17148]which "tends to identify highly sensitive sources of continuing
[17149]value." A third document which is needed by the Committee, and
[17150]which would presumably also be provided by the Bureau only in
[17151]excised form is a New York field office letter te the Bureau
[17152]dated 6/21/62 as cited in the last paragraph of page 9 of the
[17153]10/11/62 memorandum from the SAC, Atlanta, to che Biledtox,
[17154]FBI, subject "Communist Infiltration of the S peas ian

[17174]Michael E. Shaheen, Jr.
[17175]Page 2 . September 16, 1975
[17177]The Bureau's position with respect to the excised portions
[17178]of Items A. and B. above was reiterated by FBI representatives
[17179]at our September 9 meeting, notwithstanding our position that
[17180]these materials were deemed to be absolutely essential to our
[17181]complete understanding of the King investigation. As you are
[17182]aware, several other documents previously provided to the
[17184]Committee contain conclusionary statements about Stanley Levison
[17186]as predicates for many of the actions taken with respect to
[17187]King, and it would appear that the withheld portions of
[17189]Items A. and B. above, as well as the 6/21/62 New York letter
[17190]described above, would contain the detailed bases for such
[17191]conclusions.
[17193]I am sure you would agree that the underlying facts
[17194]concerning Levison are vital in order that we can meet our
[17195]responsibilities to fully assess the propriety of the FBI's
[17196]activities with respect to this case. Accordingly, I would
[17197]_ appreciate your personal attention to this matter, including
[17198]your own examination of the three documents in question, and
[17199]hopefully, a determination by you that these documents should
[17200]be provided to the Committee in unexcised form (except | for the
[17201]names of so-called “live" informants).
[17203]An early resolution of this matter is essential, and I
[17204]would hope you can respond by the end of the week.

[19389]Senate Select Committee (SSC) convened public
[19390]hearings 9-16-75, at which Chairman Frank Church an-
[19391]nounced the chief purpose of the inquiry was. to examine
[19392]the role of CIA disobeying direct orders of President
[19393]Nixon who had ordered the destruction of biological/
[19394]bacteriological agents and weapons of war by Presidential
[19395]Order, 11-25-69. Chairman Church referred to previous
[19396]executive testimony of Director Colby which established
[19397]that CIA had maintained a supply of approximately 6 grams
[19398]of shellfish toxin, a lethal agent, until June, 1975, in
[19399]apparent contravention of the Presidential Order of 1969.
[19400]The retention of the toxin had been ordered by a midlevel
[19401]employee without the knowledge of former Director Richard
[19402]Helms.
[19404]While Chairman Church stressed it is not the
[19405]purpose of SSC to denigrate the importance of the FBI
[19406]and the CIA of their contribution to the welfare of the
[19407]United States, he stated subsequent SSC heayings would
[19408]highlight the necessity that Federal law chdoppgnent and
[19409]intelligence agencies operate in a manner which
[19411]will not .
[19412]infringe upon the rights of American citizens, aan
[19413]“g2-Vb97S eel 7
[19414]Church added that SSC will . inate the pos- :

[19595]Dear Mike:
[19597]As Mark and you discussed today.on the phone,
[19598]it was the Committee's intent in Fritz Schwarz' letter to
[19599]you of September 4, 1975, that the FBI, as well as the
[19600]Internal Security Division, provide information pertaining
[19601]to the individuals and organizations listed in “that letter.
[19602]Of course this letter and the August 29 letter are modified
[19603]by my letter of September 10. Furthermore, ‘this request is
[19604]of the_highest priority and therefore we want to be kept
[19605]informed of its progress on a daily basis. Perhaps the
[19606]best approach would be to have Bureau representatives con-

[19644]SUBJECT: Vodifieation of SSC Request
[19646]Attached is a letter from John ELLIfP of the SSc staff
[19647]which modifies the lancuaze of the Ausust 29, letter fron the S5¢'s
[19648]Chief Counsel Schwarg to the Attorney General. The last sentence
[19649]of the first paragraph of the August 29, letter read as follows:
[19651]. “Where an Internal Security Division request was.
[19652]made with respect to a person or organization on whom
[19653]the Internal Security Division or the PSL mxintained
[19654]or maintains a file, we would appreciate the cpportu-
[19655]nity to review the entire file". (emphasis mine)
[19657]The modification of the first paragraph effected by the attached
[19658]letter deletes the words “or the FSi" as underlined above. Such
[19659]a modification exempts the raw files of the Bureau from inclusion
[19660]in this request. The request still requires response by the
[19661]Bureau for "all documents" in its possession as requested of the
[19662]entire Department generally by the medified first paragraph.

[19748]Director See’y __
[19749]David Bushong, who identified himself as a Senate
[19750]Select Committee Staff Member, telephonically requested on
[19751]9/10/75 that the Bureau determine the listing for telephone
[19752]number 714-756-3388 in Rancho, Santa Fe, California, and the
[19753]listing for Post Office Box 515 in Rancho, Santa Fe, California.
[19754]Bushong indicated that the fact he was attached to the Senate
[19755]Select Committee could be verified by inquiry with Staff Director
[19756]Bill Miller or Security Officer Ben Marshall of that Committee. i
[19757]Mark Gitenstein of the Senate Select Committee was
[19758]telephonically contacted by SA Paul V. Daly and advised of the
[19759]request received from David Bushong. He was informed that the
[19760]Bureau did not have authority to conduct an investigation for
[19761]the Senate Select Committee in the absence of instructions from
[19762]the Attorney General and that the Bureau would not conduct
[19763]an investigation in the absence of same. Gitenstein agreed that
[19764]the Bureau should not conduct the investigation and indicated he
[19765]would bring this to the attention of Bushong.
[19767]Subsequently, ASAC Arthur Barger of the San Diego
[19768]Office telephonically advised he had been contacted by David
[19769]Bushong and asked to make available to him information he had
[19770]requested the Bureau to furnish. Barger was informed that the
[19771]Committee had been notified that this was an improper request
[19772]and that the Bureau was not going to catit aps He was told to
[19773]tell Bushong that Mark Gitenstein of th mmittee had been
[19775]apprised of this matter and he should agree t Sees Gs “/30
[19777]Gitenstein was telephon ECA rolarnctch and Jed
[19778]that. Bushong had contacted the San Diego Office requesting an
[19779]investigation and Gitenstein was reminded that he had stated
[19780]previously he would insure that Bushong was advised that~hig
[19781]was an improper request. Gitenstein explained that he did not
[19782]realize Bushong had left for San Diego and that he woudd SEP 25 1975
[19783]straighten the situation out.

[19800]RE: SENSTUDY 75
[19802]_ Subsequently, Gitenstein telephonically recontacted
[19803]SA Paul V. Daly and advised that the request for investigation
[19804]had been done "behind his and E11if£'s back" apparently referring
[19805]to John EL11iff£, Task Force Director for the Senate Select Com-
[19806]mittee. He indicated that this request. had been discussed with
[19807]the Deputy Attorney General's Office and was an investigation
[19808]being. conducted by Senate Tower and Kurt Smothers, Minority
[19809]Counsel. He requested that SA Daly contact Michael E. Shaheen,
[19810]Jr., Special Counsel for Intelligence Coordination in the De-
[19811]partment, to verify that arrangements have been made for the
[19812]Bureau to conduct this investigation.
[19814]; SA Daly contacted Shaheen and Shaheen advised that >
[19815]he knew nothing of this request. Shaheen was informed that
[19816]absent specific instructions from the Attorney General the
[19817]Bureau would not conduct the requested investigation and
[19818]Shaheen agreed that this was the proper position for the
[19819]Bureau. Shaheen was informed that the Senate Select Com-
[19820]mittee Staff Member conducting the investigation was David
[19821]Bushong and Shaheen stated that he knew Bushong and Bushong
[19822]had formerly been the Administrative Assistant to former
[19823]Attorney General William Saxbe.
[19825]Subsequently, John Bayley, Assistant Minority
[19826]Counsel for the Senate Select Committee, telephonically con-
[19827]tacted SA Daly and apologized for the request that the Bureau
[19828]conduct an investigation for the Senate Select Committee and
[19829]he indicated that he thought arrangements had been made for
[19830]this investigation through the Deputy Attorney General's Office.
[19831]Bushong advised that Senator Tower was currently attempting to
[19832]locate the Attorney General to straighten out this particular
[19833]problem and apparently arrange for the Bureau to conduct such
[19834]an investigation.
