[468]Interview of Donald E. Moore by
[469]Mr. Loch Johnson, Senate Select Committee
[470]July 28, 1975
[472]Mr. Johnson stated at the outset that this was an informal
[473]: interview and he did not place me under oath. He asked about my
[474]background which was provided him and included the fact that I
[475]served in the FBI from March 10, 1941, until my retirement at
[476]the end of June 1973.
[478]The interview concerned the so-called Huston Committee
[479]and he asked if I knew Tom Charles Huston before the Committee
[480]was established, I said I recalled meeting Huston once, in Bill
[481]Sullivan's office, but I didn't recall when this was, but it was before
[482]the Committee was formed. In response to questions, Mr. Johnson
[483]was informed as follows:
[485]I was aware of the meeting at the White House attended by
[486]Director Hoover, Mr. Helms, Admiral Gayler and Gen. Bennett.
[487]I was probably aware the meeting was to take place before the
[488]meeting date but I can't recall this. (He said the meeting was
[489]held June 5, 1970.) Iwas not at a meeting held in Mr. Hoover's
[490]office June 8 but I recall hearing about the meeting, probably
[491]from Bill Sullivan. I don't recall a meeting held in the Domestic
[492]Intelligence Division after this at which Sullivan, Bill Cregar,
[493]George Moore, Fred Cassidy arid I were present. I did attend the
[494]initial meeting of the Working Group headed by Sullivan and was
[495]present because Sullivan asked me to be there. I remember Sullivan
[496]and Crepgar were at the meeting and I thought one or more other FBI
[497]representatives were present. He mentioned George Moore and
[498]Fred Cassidy were at the meeting.
[500]I recall Mr. Helms and Mr. Angleton from,CIA were present
[501]but did not recall the names of others including the representatives
[502]from NSA, DIA and the military services. I recall Sullivan chaired
[503]the meeting and that Huston sat at the opposite end of the table.
[504]Either Helms or Sullivan announced that Helms probably couldn't
[505]stay for the entire meeting but I don't recall Helms leaving, although
[506]he did not sit directly at the conference table.

[517]NW 88326 Docld:32989677 Page 17
[524]I can't recall the conversation at the meeting but think that
[525]Sullivan outlined the request of the President to study means of
[526]getting better intelligence information on new left activities and
[527]violent protest movements in the US, especially with regard to
[528]possible foreign support. I think Sullivan probably outlined areas
[529]of concern and asked representatives present to document where they
[530]felt intelligence was lacking, how it could be obtained, who should
[531]obtain it and what was needed to obtain it. I said I couldn't at this
[532]date recall specific observations or proposals and rather believed
[533]the purpose of the meeting was to outline the general problem and
[534]ask the representatives to document these and come in with specific
[535]recommendations at a subsequent meeting. Iam certain Mr. Huston
[536]spoke about the purpose of the meeting but I can't recall his comments.
[538]This was the only meeting of the Working Group I attended.
[539]I told Mr. Suilivan that if agreeable with him I would not attend
[540]subsequent meetings and I thought the FBI had several representatives
[541]present and that the thrust was on new left and related activities. As
[542]I recall he said "suit yourself." Johnson pressed me on this and I
[543]told him this was what I expressed to Sullivan but I also was somewhat
[544]uneasy after the first meeting as I did not believe Mr. Hoover was
[545]aware of collection efforts that were likely to be recommended. I
[546]could not state what FBI members attended subsequent meetings but
[547]I believe Charles Brennan and Bill Cregar, and of course, Bill
[548]Sullivan, attended as well as some other representatives.
[550]I can't say who drafted the report but was sure it was under
[551]Sullivan's direction. During the period of the meetings Deke DeLoach
[552]had retired and Sullivan had been appointed Assistant to the Director
[553]and moved from the 9th & D Building to the Justice Building. I
[554]don't recall when Mr. Hoover's objections to certain of the
[555]recommendations were added.. I can't. say whether I-saw the report
[556]prior to the objections being in it but may have; I do recall seeing
[557]the report after the objections were in it. I don't know whether
[558]Mr. Hoover told Sullivan to put the objections in it but presume
[559]Sullivan knew Mr. Hoover's views and put the objections in on this
[560]basis. I could not answer the question as to whether Mr. Tolson
[561]was the person responsible for having the objections made but felt
[562]he would have objected to the initial recommendations.
[564]NW 88326 Docld:32989627 Page 18 : Cte
[567]. @ ’ 8
[569]I did see the letter from the White House saying the report
[570]had been approved. I believe it was signed by Huston and stated
[571]the President had approved the recommendations. I was aware
[572]Mr. Hoover had either written or seen Attorney General Mitchell
[573]expressing his reluctance and was aware the White House letter was
[574]withdrawn. I din't know why it was withdrawn other than this
[575]occurred after Mr. Hoover went to the Attorney General.
[577]Mr. Johnson asked certain specific questions during or
[578]after the above discussion. He asked what covert mail coverage
[579]was involved since CIA in 1970 was engaged in covert mail inter-
[580]ception. After checking with Mr. Leon F, Schwartz of the FBI,
[581]Mr. Johnson was advised that while I had been released from my
[582]pledge of confidentiality by the FBI in general with regard to the
[583]Huston Committee this matter was under review by the Department
[584]of Justice and I had not been released from my pledge on this
[586]‘aspect. A similar answer was given to the question about what
[588]was meant by the removal of restrictions on the use of surreptitious
[589]entry of embassies io obiazin cryptographic maiteriais.
[591]Mr. Johnson asked if 1 thought the Huston Committee had
[592]been instigated by Bill Sullivan to more or less force Mr. Hoover
[593]to take a more aggressive stance in intelligence collection, I
[594]answered that I would not like to speculate on this and I could not
[595]make a definite statement yes or no.
[597]v
[599]He asked why the Working Group met at CIA as opposed to
[600]the FBI and whether this had special meaning. I answered that I
[601]did not think so, that the US Intelligence Board was headed by the
[602]Director of CIA, was concerned with intelligence collection and
[603]met at CIA and also meeting arrangements could probably be better
[604]arranged at CIA in view of parking, conference rooms, etc.
[606]He said Admiral Gayler had stated that he and his predecessor,
[607]Gen. Carter, had tried to get Mr. Hoover to provide more support to
[608]NSA with regard to Communications Intelligence and asked if I was
[609]aware of any such efforts, and if they were in person or in writing.
[610]I said I was aware that Gen. Carter and Adm, Gayler had asked for
[611]support and I believe they might have seen Mr. Hoover personally
[612]and perhaps had written him. .

[946]Mr. Callahan requested that a research be conducted to
[947]determine whether the FBI or the Department of Justice would be
[948]authorized to pay for private counsel for employees called to testify
[949]before the Senate Select Committee and who desired private counsel.
[951]I advised Mr. Callahan that the position of the FBI and the
[952]Department is that we could not provide counsdidirectly to the individuals
[953]because of the potential conflict of interest between the rights of the
[954]individual and the duties of our officers. However, I told him that to my
[955]knowledge the question concerning whether the Government ceuld pay for
[956]private counsel selected by the employee has not been researched.
[958]Mr. Callahan therefore requested that the research be conducted.
[960]RECOMMENDATION: a

[1032]Justice would be authorized to pay for private counsel for
[1033]employees who are called to testify before the Senate
[1034]Select Committee and who desire private counsel. We have
[1035]also undertaken to present the statutory considerations
[1036]governing the provision of such representation in a legal
[1037]proceeding as distinguished from a legislative hearing.
[1039]Title 5, United States Code, Section 3106, states:
[1041]"Except as otherwise authorized
[1042]by law, the head of an Executive
[1043]department or military department

[1049]is a party, or is interested, he
[1050]for the securing of evidence €
[1051]for, but shall refer the matter “to
[1052]the Department of Justice. ...
[1054]This statutory prohibition makes it clear that
[1055]only the Attorney General has the authority to make a
[1056]contract for special employment of an attorney. This
[1057]Bureau, aS an agency of the Department of Justice, ob-
[1058]viously does not have authority to do that which is
[1059]denied to Executive departments which are otherwise of
[1060]coequal stature to the Department of Justice.

[1083]Memorandum to Mr. J. B. Adams
[1084]Re: Authority of FBI and Department of Justice
[1085]to Retain Private Counsel to Represent Employees
[1087]An examination of our budgetary language by
[1088]representatives of the Administrative Division and this
[1089]Division does not disclose any explicit or implicit
[1090]authority which would qualify as "otherwise authorized by
[1091]law, . . ." under the above statute. The statutory
[1092]authority for provision of private counsel is contained in
[1093]Title2z8, United States Code, Section 515, which gives the
[1094]Attorney General the authority to appoint and pay special
[1095]attorneys. However, this authority is circumscribed by the
[1096]statement that these attorneys “may, when specifically
[1097]directed by the Attorney General, conduct any kind of legal
[1098]proceeding, civil or criminal, including grand jury pro-
[1099]ceedings and proceedings before committing magistrates,
[1100]which United States Attorneys are authorized by law to
[1101]conduct. .. ." It is evident then that this authority
[1102]pertains only to proceedings held within the judicial
[1103]system, not to hearings held before a legislative body.
[1104]Such a hearing is not a "legal proceeding" and is not
[1105]one "which United States Attorneys are authorized by
[1106]law to conduct. ..."
[1108]In the event that employees need representation
[1109]in a legal proceeding and the Department believes that a
[1110]potential conflict of interest would prevent it from
[1111]providing counsel, outside counsel could be appointed and
[1112]paid under the statute up to the monetary limits fixed.
[1113]Whether the Department would allow the individual employee
[1114]to designate or select the outside counsel would be a
[1115]matter of Departmental policy but we see no reason why
[1116]such an individual selection would not ordinarily be
[1117]approved.
[1119]We are aware that the Central Intelligence
[1120]Agency (CIA) has recently engaged the law firm of Arnold
[1121]and Porter and that Mr. Mitchell Rogovin of that firm
[1122]has been designated as the individual attorney to represent
[1123]that agency. Inquiry with CIA has determined that the
[1124]authority relied on for this action is Title 50, United
[1125]States Code, Section 403j, which states:

[1137]Memorandum to Mr. J. B. Adams
[1138]Re: Authority of FBI and Department of Justice
[1139]to Retain Private Counsel to Represent Employees
[1141]"(a) Notwithstanding any other
[1142]other provisions of law, sums
[1143]made available to the Agency
[1144]by appropriation or otherwise
[1145]may be expended for purposes
[1146]necessary to carry out its
[1147]functions, including --
[1149]"(1) personal services, including
[1150]personal services without regard
[1151]to limitations on types of
[1152]persons to be employed. ..."
[1154]apparently would emphasize, however, that the counsel
[1155]hired,repre ents the CIA, not individual employees, and
[1156]that private counsel has the same problems as does their
[1157]"in-house" counsel. Therefore, no firm or individual
[1158]hired by that agency can provide counsel to the individual
[1159]employee in any situation which presents a potential
[1160]conflict between the interests of the individual and the
[1161]interests of the agency.
[1163]CONCLUSION :
[1165]We_ conclude that th no authority for either
[1166]the FBI or the Department to pay ‘for rivate counsel
[1167]selected by émployees_called_to testify before the Senate
[1169]elect Committee or Or any other legislative body. If an
[1170]employee called to testify in Such a forum déSi¥es private
[1171]counsel, or where a potential conflict of interest makes
[1172]representation by "in-house" counsel or the Department
[1173]impossible, the employee must decide if the possible
[1174]consequences warrant the personal expense of such counsel
[1175]and, if so, responsibility for payment rests with him.
[1177]Furthermore, private counsel retained by an
[1178]agency having authority to do so would be under the
[1179]same disabilities as "in-house" or Departmental counsel
[1180]in situations presenting a potential conflict of interest.

[1238]was in- Atlanta 7/22/75 in connection with the interviews there
[1239]of six SAs (five from Atlanta FO; one who traveled to Atlanta
[1240]from Knoxville FO) by SSC Staff Members Michael Epstein and
[1241]Mary DeOreo. Interviews concerned the former FBI investigation
[1242]of Martin Luther King, Jr. At approximately 5:00 p.m.,
[1244]7/22/75, Epstein telephonically contacted Phillips and advised
[1245]that one of the interviews developed information resulting in _
[1246]his desire to interview a seventh SA, Edward A, Shea of the ~
[1247]Atlanta FO. In order to avoid another trip to Atlanta,
[1248]Epstein asked if Phillips could obtain FBI clearance for “the
[1249]interview which would concern: (1) any possible COINTELPRO
[1250]operations in Atlanta with respect to King or the Southern
[1251]Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC); (2) Shea's assignment

[1300]7/22/75, Epstein was telephonically advised by Phillips as
[1301]indicated above--clearance for (1) and (2); not for (3) at
[1302]this time. Arrangements were then made for interview of
[1303]Shea morning of 7/23/75.
[1305]Subsequent interview of Shea (being reported
[1306]separately) apparently satisfied Epstein and it does not
[1307]appear there will be any further request as to item (3).

[1380]This memorandum records that no effort Ws being
[1381]made to respond to a request of the Senate Select Committee
[1382](SSC) dated 6/27/75, pursuant to instructions of the
[1383]Deputy Attorney General, until such time as the Department
[1384]ean obtain clarification from the SSC regarding the meaning
[1385]of paragraph 2 in the SSC's letter of 6/27/75.
[1387]Memorandum Wannall to Adams, dated 6/30/75, reviewed
[1388]a draft copy of the SSC's letter to the Department, This
[1389]draft copy is dated 6/25/75, It is identical in content with
[1390]the final version dated 6/27/75,
[1392]Memorandum Cregar to Wannall, dated 7/2/75, reported
[1393]the results of a meeting in the office of the Deputy Attorney
[1394]General on the morning of 7/2/75. In this memorandum it was
[1395]pointed out that the Deputy Attorney General found considerablé
[1396]difficulty in understanding paragraph 2 of the SSC's draft of
[1397]a letter dated 6/25/75. He noted that in view of the
[1398]ambiguities found in the letter, as well as the lack of any
[1399]specific agreement entered into with the SSC by the Department.
[1400]and/or the FBI, the Department should prepare a letter over
[1401]the Attorney General's signature asking for clarification,
[1403]In the meantime, the Deputy Attorney General advised that we
[1404]should take no action responsive to the requests levied on
[1406]the FBI in this letter. To date, we have received no infor-
[1407]mation from the Department that a letter asking for clarification
[1409]of the SSC has been sent. REC-10 Za- i] w{Gs 3a - 53 A

[1569]Page Two . June 27, 1975 -
[1570]Within the Committee mandate, contained in
[1571]S. Res. 21, there are four broad subjects relating to the
[1572]intelligence community which we are required to investi-
[1573]gate and study in order to determine the facts and ulti-
[1574]mately to decide whether to make recommendations for
[1575]legislative or other changes. They are:
[1576]; “a. The structure, performance, and utility of
[1577]. government operations with respect to intel-
[1578]Ligence activities.
[1579]. 2. Whether certain policies or practices are
[1580]* or are not illegal, unethical, or otherwise
[1581]5 improper.
[1583]° 3. ‘Whether there has or has not been excessive
[1585]duplication or inadequate coordination be-
[1586]tween and among intelligence agencies and,
[1587]more generally, the efficiency of intelii-
[1588]gence activities.
[1590]4, Whether there has or has not been adequate
[1591]internal and external control and oversight
[1592]over the policies and practices of intelli-
[1594]gence agencies.
[1596]In attempting to find the answers to these funda-
[1597]mental questions, the Committee is proceeding in two ways.
[1598]First, we are examining intelligence functions broadly as
[1599]instruments of government policy, giving attention to the
[1600]authority for particular functions, the problems which
[1601]intelligence activities are designed to solve, the proce+
[1602]dures by which intelligence activities are and have been
[1603]proposed, approved, executed, evaluated, and terminated,
[1604]the range and scope of the activities utilized to achieve
[1605]intelligence objectives, and the propriety and utility of
[1606]the activities undertaken. Second, we will examine in
[1607]depth certain subjects within the broad topics of inves-
[1608]tigation. (We would, of course, welcome your suggestion
[1609]of other cases that would give added insight into intelli-
[1610]gence matters under your jurisdiction.) These specific
[1612]- Subjects for investigation are not intended to limit the
[1613]scope contained in the more general questions.

[1625]The annexed notifications spell these matters
[1627]out in greater detail. In addition, they ask certain
[1628]specific questions, set forth certain previously requested
[1629]documents not yet received, request additional documents ,*
[1630]- and, in some cases, ask for the. names and present addresses
[1631]of persons who have held certain positions. Where appro-
[1632]priate, the subject's description indicates that, pursuant
[1633]to the agreed Outline for Inquiry Procedures, the matter
[1634]primarily concerns allegations of abuse or other contro-
[1635]versial specific matters where there is reason to believe
[1636]improprieties may have occurred. Finally, the notifications
[1637]indicate the name(s) of the staff member(s) who, in addition
[1638]to’ the Committee's senior staff, will be responsible for the
[1639]particular matters. _ 0 .

[1742]I. Issues
[1744]The Committee's inquiry into the intelligence and
[1745]counterintelligence activities of the Federal Bureau
[1746]of Investigation is examining fundamental issues which
[1747]bear directly on the adequacy of current legislation
[1748]and administrative organization and precedure. The
[1749]Committee seeks to determine whether FBI intelligence
[1750]and counterintelligence activities achieve legitimate
[1751]objectives in conformity with the rule of law. Among
[1752]the basic issues to be addressed are the following:
[1754]“AG
[1756]| NW 88326 Docid:32989627 Page 41
[1758]What is the legal authority for FBI intelligence |
[1759]and counterintelligence activities? Should the
[1760]FBI's authority be clarified or revised or
[1761]incorporated in a comprehensive statutory
[1762]charter?
[1764]What limitations are Placed on FBI intelligence
[1765]and counterintelligence activities by the
[1766]Constitution and laws of the United States?
[1767]Should these limitations be clarified or
[1768]revised?
[1770]What have been the purposes and aims of FBI
[1771]intelligence and counterintelligence activities?
[1772]Should these cbjéctives be modified? -
[1774]How have the intelligence and counterintelligence
[1775]activities of the FBI been organized and coordinated
[1776]with other agencies of government? Should these
[1777]procedures and practices be revised?
[1779]What have been the procedures for and techniques
[1780]of intelligence gathering and dissemination and
[1781]counterintelligence operations used by the FBI?
[1782]Under what conditions and through what procedures
[1783]should these methods and techniques’ be used in
[1784]the future?
[1786]What have been and should.be the mechanisms for
[1787]internal and external policy-making, control,
[1788]and supervision of FBI intelligence and counter-
[1789]intelligence activities?
[1791]a
[1794]po. ; .@
[1799]a.
[1801]® .
[1802]. As a means of examining the above issues in the
[1803]“ gontext of actual FBI intelligence operations,
[1804]the Committee intends to study certain specific
[1805]topies, some of which are general in nature, and
[1806]others of which involve specific cases, programs
[1807]or techniques. Part II, below, contains descriptions ‘
[1808]of the general areas into which the Committee: intends
[1809]to inquire. Part III contains descriptions: of the
[1810]specific cases mentioned above. The descriptions
[1811]specifically indicate whether the investigation may
[1812]concentrate on specific allegations of possible
[1813]abuses or other controversial matters where there
[1814]is.reason to believe improprieties may have occurred.
[1815]In dddition to the topics described below, additional
[1816]-areas of inquiry may develop during the course of the
[1817]Committee's work.

[1829]A. .Legal Authority. for FBI Intelligence and Counter-
[1831]intelligence Activities
[1833]The Committee is examining the legal basis for FBI
[1834]intelligence and counterintelligence activities.
[1835]There may be serious question as to the adequacy
[1836]of the present legislative framework for the FBI's
[1837]functions in these fields. Current statutes
[1839]+ authorize the FBI to perform investigative and law
[1840]enforcement functions, but they do not specifically
[1841]authorize intelligence or counterintelligence
[1842]‘activities. Therefore, the Committee seeks to
[1843]determine whether the FBI's authority should be
[1844]clarified, revised, or incorporated in a compre-
[1845]hensive statutory charter. .

[1852]gence Division ~ -
[1854]The Committee is investigating the structure and:
[1855]operating practices of the FBI Intelligence Divi-~
[1856]Sion. Proposals have been made that the national
[1857]security intelligence and counterintelligence
[1858]functions of the FBI should be lodged in a separate
[1859]agency or otherwise separated from the FBI's
[1860]criminal investigative activities. Further recom-
[1861]mendations have been advanced for improved coordina-_—
[1862]tion between the FBI and other intelligence agencies,
[1863]‘for strengthened supervision of FBI intelligence and
[1864]counterintelligence activities by the Attorney
[1865]General or an independent board, and for clearer
[1866]standards and procedures for FBI activities in this
[1867]grea. Therefore, the Committee desires complete
[1868]information on the operating practices and proce-
[1869]dures of the FBI Intelligence Division and of the
[1870]fieid office activities supervised by the Intelli-
[1871]gence Division.

[1881]* Phe Committee's inquiry focuses on the following
[1882]specific areas:
[1884]1. FBI Internal Security Intelligence Operations
[1886]The Committee seeks to determine the nature
[1888]and purpose of FBI intelligence operations
[1890]‘directed at foreign intelligence activities
[1892]and subversive or extremist activities within
[1894]the United States. It has been alleged that
[1896]the scope of FBI intelligence investigations
[1898]is too broad and has extended to legitimate ’
[1899]4 political activities.. Consequently, the Com-
[1900]mo mittee must examine how the FBI's responsibili-
[1902]ties have been defined.

[1908]2. The FBI and the U. S. Intelligence Community
[1910]The Committee seeks to determine what have
[1911]been the policies and procedures for coordina-
[1912]tion between the FBI and other agencies in the
[1913]—U: S. intelligence community. There have been
[1914]occasions in the past where friction between
[1915]the FBI and other agencies has produced serious
[1916]dissatisfaction.within the U. 8. intelligence
[1917]community. The purpose of this inquiry is to
[1918]evaluate the adequacy of past and present cc-
[1919]_ ordinating mechanisms.

[1935]FBI Foreign Counterintelligence Operations
[1937]The Committee seeks to determine the nature of
[1938]FBI counterintelligence operations directed at
[1939]foreign intelligence activities within the
[1940]United States or at any other hostile foreign-
[1941]related activities within the United States.
[1942]Since FBI operations to "counter" these activi-
[1943]ties go beyond intelligence collection, the
[1944]Committee must consider whether suéh practices
[1945]require statutory authorization. The impact
[1947]of counterintelligence operations on United
[1949]> States foreign relations will also be considered..

[1983]The Committee seeks to determine the nature of
[1984]the relationships between FBI intelligence
[1986]. activities and state and local law enforcement
[1988]agencies. This subject involves the delicate
[1989]balance between the necessary centralization
[1990]of certain law enforcement activities and the
[1991]Constitutionally-mandated decentralization of
[1992]general law enforcement responsibility. It is
[1993]necessary for the Committee to evaluate the
[1994]centralizing influence of the FBI, as well as
[1995]the FBI's role as a check on local law enforce-

[2136]a tain purposes without a prior judicial warrant.
[2137]‘ This power has been exercised by succeeding
[2138]Attorneys General since 1940, upon the explicit
[2139]directive of the President. The Supreme Court
[2140]has ruled that this power does not extend to
[2141]purely domestic matters, but the remaining scope
[2142]of the Attorney General's authority remains un-
[2143]defined by the Supreme Court.

[2818]-, F. Clandestine Informant Activities
[2819]The Comnittee is examining all aspects of the
[2820]FBI's use of informants, sources, and undercover
[2821]personnel and the techniques employed by such per-
[2822]sons. Although informants are the single most
[2823]productive source of intelligence information, the
[2824]difficulties of controlling their activities may
[2825]increase the possibility of improper conduct. The
[2826]use of informants to infiltrate organizations also
[2827]may pose dangers to the right of associational pri-
[2828]vacy. Consequently, proposals have been made for
[2829],vhe imposition of a judicial warrant requirement
[2830]° ‘or other safeguards for the use of informants.
[2831]The Committee seeks to evaluate such proposals as
[2832]well as the contributions of informants to the
[2833]. accomplishment of legitimate objectives.
[2835]5
[2837]In addition, the Committee is examining informant
[2838]Sctivities with respect to several particular situa-
[2839]tions and cases. This investigation may involve
[2840]‘specific allegations of abuse or controversial
[2841]matters where there is reason to believe improprie-
[2842]ties may have occurred. The Committee's inquiry
[2843]covers the general circumstances surrounding the
[2844]following incidents or cases:
[2846]a. Wounded Knee;
[2848]b. Kent State;
[2850]‘e.* New York v. Stroble (Attica);
[2852]d. United States v. Buckalew (Gainesville);
[2854]e. United States v. Briggs (Camden);
[2856]f. New York v. Dillon (Hobart College);
[2858]a. United States v. Marshall (Seattle).
[2859]Additional cases may also be examined.
[2860]In addition to the above cases, the Committee is
[2861]examining the role of FBI informants in providing
[2863]information to the FBI concerning members of the
[2864]following organizations:

[3004]"Notional" Organizations
[3006]“The Committee is examining the FBI's alleged
[3007]creation of the support for "notional” organizations
[3008]for intelligence or counterintelligence purposes.
[3009]Although it may rely upon informants and other
[3010]clandestine operatives, this alleged practice is
[3011]sufficiently novel to require separate attention.
[3013]Questions
[3015]The Committee requests that the FBI and the Justice
[3017]. «eDepartment address the following specific questions:
[3019]1. What groups, organizations, movements, or other
[3020]associations has the FBI caused directly or

[5201]U. S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities.
[5202]The interview was conducted on 8/4/75 in FBI space and
[5203]lasted from approximately 2:00 p.m. until 2:30 p.m.
[5207]The interview was extremely general in nature and /
[5208]dealt exclusively with general information regarding the
[5209]handling of informant files both in the field and at FBIHQ.
[5210]The questions asked dealt with such matters as what type of wo
[5211]files were maintained in the field and at FBIHQ regarding fe :
[5212]informants and generally the types of information contained a
[5213]therein. They were particularly interested as to whether or
[5214]not an individual informant file either at FBIHQ or in the
[5215]field would contain information which would specifically
[5216]identify informants other than the informant on which the
[5217]file was maintained. They also inquired whether or not there-
[5218]was a sub A section of each informant file maintained at FBIHQ
[5219]as was the case in the field. Questions were also asked as to
[5220]whether or not the individual file maintained at FBIHQ on
[5221]informants would run into several volumes. This inquiry was
[5222]answered to the effect that the size of the file would depend

[5234]Re: Senstudy
[5236]It was readily apparent that they were asking these
[5237]questions with the thought in mind of requesting access to
[5238]certain informant files, the identity of which they already
[5239]had but did not divulge. They did state specifically that
[5240]the informant files in which they would have an interest
[5241]amounted to approximately ten and were all on informants
[5242]that had publicly beén exposed for one reason or another
[5243]and were no longer being operated as current informants.
[5245]The indication was that the request would be for access
[5246]only to such files for review in FBI space.

[5610]On the afternoon of July 24, 1975, K. William O'Connor, Special
[5611]Counsel in the Department, met with Deputy Associate Director Adams
[5612]and me to present us with a copy of the proposed procedures and to discuss
[5613]any amendments the Bureau might request. I asked Mr. O'Connor who had
[5614]approved this latest draft of the proposed procedures and he said that they
[5615]had been tentatively approved by the Attorney General and the White House.
[5616]I specifically asked him who in the White House had approved them and = * |
[5618]he said that they had been approved by Mr. Buchen (Counsel to the
[5619]President). or
[5621]Mr. Adams and I discussed the procedures with Mr. O'Connor
[5622]and suggested to him as indicated by my inked notation on the bottom of
[5623]page 2A that the word "use" used in subparagraph (d) should be further
[5624]defined by a footnote that would specify the limitations on information to be
[5625]provided the Committee and its staff concerning the identities of persons
[5626]to whom the FBI has undertaken an obligation of confidentiality. Mr. O'Connor
[5627]agreed to the proposed change and in our presence telephonically communicated
[5628]with John Elliff and obtained his concurrence in the amendment to sub-
[5630]paragraph (d). _ PERO
[5631]REC- 102 (vy 2D -//f- 39%, SDB
[5632]Mr. Adams told Mr. O'Connor that the FEL was not agréeing
[5633]to the procedures in substance but that we recognized the authority of the
[5634]Attorney General in these matters and would abide by his decision that the
[5635]proposed procedures would be implemented on agreement by the Committee.
[5636]Mr. O'Connor said he understood that and he advised John Elliff that the
[5637]Bureau had acquiesced in the proposed procedures with the one amendment
[5638]described above. Mr. O'Connor departed indicating that he was going to
[5639]proceed to meet with the Committee and obtain final agreement.as to the text

[6463]On 8/6/75, Daniel M. (Mac) Armstrong, II, who was
[6464]on the personal staff of former Acting Director Gray, called to advise
[6466]that he had been contacted by John Elliff. He had known EIliff casually
[6467]during the confirmation hearings regarding Mr. Gray. Elliff told him,
[6468]that he was personally interested in determining background on two matt
[6469]which were: (1) the decision to abolish the Crime Records Division; dnd
[6470](2) the Legal Attache program.
[6472]xy s
[6474]Armstrong told him that he had no knowledge concerning the
[6475]Crime Records Division and had not even learned of its abolishment until a
[6476]after the fact. Armstrong referred Elliff to Dave Kinley regarding that
[6477]topic. Armstrong said that Elliff did not want to talk to him concerning the
[6478]: Legal Atiache program over the phone and said he would contact him in the
[6479]. near future for an appointment to see him personally. i ©

[6555]1. In our discussions preparatory to the briefing to
[6556]be given to Senators Church and Tower, we have agreed to try ‘ha
[6557]to avoid identifying specific foreign targets of the various i,
[6558]types of operations which will be discussed, although it was A
[6559]af
[6561]generally recognized that it would be impossible to avoid
[6562]discussing the Soviet target specifically. I have recently
[6564]turned over to them by CIA) that CIA "participated in a series, >
[6565]of electronic surveillance operations in the U.S.'' The info7- C
[6566]mation is contained in a single paragraph, which goes on to, *
[6569]"Included among them are operations against the Pa
[6570]Czech Embassy, the UAR Embassy, the Chilean Embassy,
[6572]the Soviet Consulate in San Francisco, the present
[6574]Soviet Embassy, the planned Soviet Embassy, and the
[6576]quarters occupied by the Chinese Communists in New
[6578]York City."
[6580]2. This being so, it can be expected that the Staff will
[6581]have brought this information to the senators' attention, and
[6582]I will be prepared to respond factually to questions with re-
[6583]spect to these operations, which of course were carried out in
[6584]pursuit of NSA requirements, and with FBI oO fe and/ox,—— 73

[6646]On July 31, 1975, Mr. Dan Dwyer, Research Assistant, — DwectorSec'y—
[6647]Senate Select Committee, advised SA Séymor"F. Phillips that he
[6650]had some specific questions to ask concerning his review of. the Uae
[6651]Classifying Guide, Files and Communications Division. Thereafter, Bee
[6652]“Supervisor Paul Fv Stes and Classifying tnit supervisor Odell Bus
[6653]Wheeler answered the following questions raised by Mr. Dwyer: Bae
[6654](1) Explain the difference in applicant mail categories, i.e. Bee
[6655]67, 77, 116, 151 and 161? The various applicant type categories -H-.3
[6656]were discussed with him. (2) What is the difference between BE
[6657]main files, general files and setup files? These definitions were aes
[6659]given to him in accordance with the manual; in addition, our pro-
[6660]cedures for handling "0" files, "00" files and subfiles were also
[6661]explained. (3) When is a 62 file interchangeable? It was explain
[6662]to him that the 62 classification is interchangeable with other
[6663]designated classifications, for example, that incoming 62 material
[6664]could be placed in an existing file on the subject rather than
[6665]opening a separate 62 file. (4+) Describe what you mean by the
[6666]standard sublist. It was explained that a subnumber is assigned (ea
[6667]to each one of our field offices and to each foreign country; that
[6668]subfiles are, used when it is anticipated that the volume of mail
[6669]will be sufficient to place the file in separate subs for future
[6670]ready reference to a particular area or locality. (5) What is
[6671]the meaning of the character of a case? It was explained that we
[6672]have utilized 185 classification numbers to date and that each of
[6673]these classifications has a corresponding character. The example
[6674]given was the 26 classification and corresponding ITSMV character. (S$)
[6675](6) What is meant by the (134) classification being ‘interchangeable
[6676]with the subvegsive list? It was explained to him that from the
[6678]185 classifications approximately 60 of these are termed subversive
[6679]from an administrative standpoint. The 134| classification which i)
[6680]designates a fSecurity informant] is interchangeable with certain
[6681]subversive classifications on the subversive list. :

[7248]Proposed Procedures - SSC
[7250]This draft of "Proposed Procedures” has not been discussed
[7251]with SSC staff. It is intended to reflect the substance of the
[7252]discussion had on 7/21, in your office; and incorporates (as
[7254]underscored) additional language for the purposes suggested by
[7255]Also reflected are the slight editorial changes
[7257]that discussion.
[7258]requested by the SSC in the draft attached to Senator Church's
[7259]levter of July 18, 1975.
[7261]SSC staff to FBI materials at the FBI, or delivery of such materials
[7262]if appropriate, to the SSC. The present scope of the access is
[7263]defined by the requests as received; those extant are the subject
[7265]of superseding redraft under paragraph 1. Tha prospective scope of
[7266]requested information is not restricted, but is subject to negotiation
[7267]as indicated in the amendment to paregreph 1.
[7269]The proposed modification of paragraph 3 will be the focus of
[7270]most controversy. The SSC will probably object to the withholding
[7271]cf sources under paragraph 3(d} (proposed) saying that access to
[7272]information at the FBI offices is all that is required; that no
[7273]note on such documents can be removed from the premises of the FBI
[7274]under procedure 6; and that if they wish to pursue any sources,
[7275]the appeal provision of existing paregraph 6 should cover it.
[7277]Since that was the purpose of paragraph 6, and since paragraph 6(a)
[7278]was designed to focus on any real problem which might arise, the
[7279]scope of the stated problem under paragraph 3{d) may be seen by the
[7280]SSC as an attempt to withhold information from the SSC staff, and
[7282]delay the inquiry (since the Bureau would have to de considerable pre

[7303]delivery work ander 3(d) to make properly defined and reviewed
[7304]deletions). Accordingly, I would expect SSC to assert (a) DOT
[7305]does not trust SSC probity or security, and (b) DOJ is following
[7306]a dilatory and unnecessary tactic.
[7308]In anticipation of these problems, I have re-written
[7309]paragraph ° to permit unilateral abrogation if the procedures
[7310]do not work. Uf actual information withheld is. capriciously
[7311]defined, or if any lapse of good judgment occurs, I would expect
[7312]prompt abrogation by SSC and a very severe criticism of the
[7314]. Director, the Attorney General, and the Department.
[7316]I think that is a high risk, and assumption of it places
[7317]a very heavy burden upon the Bureau, initially, and upon the
[7318]Department, ultimately.
[7320]My recommendation is that the proposed procedures be
[7321]attempted as redrafted, subject to Attorney General and White
[7322]House approval; but a vigorous caveat is indicated as to the
[7323]need for real restraint in the exercise of initial FBI discretion
[7324]under paragraph 3(d).

[8814]4 a) Dear Mr. Attorney General:
[8816]Thank you for your letter replying to our letter concerning
[8817]access by certain members of the Select Committee to files and
[8818]documents concerning them held by the Department, including the
[8819]FBI. :
[8821]The Committee has resolved to adopt a slightly different }
[8822]procedure than that proposed in your letter. As you know, the rf
[8823]purpose of this particular request is to enable the members, L.
[8824]through analysis of materials relating to them, to obtain general
[8825]insights into how the Department of Justice, including the (
[8826]Federal Bureau of Investigation, collects, maintains and retrieves ee
[8827]for itself material on Americans generally. Accordingly, we ,
[8828]suggest that at a mutually convenient time, the designated members
[8829]come to the Department or the Bureau and physically go through
[8830]the retrieval process with the persons who would be responsible
[8831]for performing that function in a real life situation. The
[8832]Committee members do not wish to have their individual files
[8834][Snes removed from the filing system or "sanitized" prior to . s&s J) b;
[8835]their reviewing them. i « foot oe oe I
[8836]lop 2% ALS 75
[8837]This proposed method of omsite review may help, moreover,
[8838]to alleviate the possible problems of disclosure to the particular
[8839]members which your letter adverted to. We are sure that you
[8840]could discuss any remaining actual problems with the members
[8841]themselves at your premises, including whatever retrieval problems bee
[8843]may exist with respect to the letters from the members themselves ~
[8844]which you referred to. 8 JUL 25 187:
[8846]oo
[8848]“18 1975
[8850]JUL
[8852]In the first instance, what the members seek is insight
[8854]The attached letter was forwarded
[8855]: ‘to the Bureau by the Department.
[8858]and understanding. After the initial review, further steps to
[8859]record facts and reach conclusions can be agreed upon as
[8860]appropriate.
[8862]Senator Baker and Senator Philip Hart wish to be added to
[8863]the list of Senators who wish to LL... own files.

[9956]FROM, P, G. Donahue
[9958]sugect: JLEGAL AUTHORITY OF THE FBI
[9959]| TO_USE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANTS
[9960]AS AN INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUE —
[9964]The legal authority of the FBI to use confidential
[9965]informants as an investigative technique rests upon three factors:
[9967]1) Legislative authority embodied in the approval
[9968]of the annual appropriation.
[9970]va deka we
[9972]2) Case law that the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
[9973]Amendments do not vrotect a wrongdoer from
[9974]the use of informants. ,
[9976]lea onal Merertiaurmeearine = 1.
[9978]3) Case law reflecting that courts recognize the
[9979]necessity and utility of informants in providing
[9980]probavle cause fur inaking arrests without a
[9981]warrant, and for obtaining warrants, provided
[9982]that certain conditions are met.
[9984]A NR PER Ua MAREN EE MSE DI
[9986]Regarding the first of the above-cited factors,
[9987]reference is made to the 'Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the
[9988]Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, Departments |
[9989]of State, Justice and Commerce, the Judiciary and Related Agencies

[10035]heading of "Salaries and Expenses" for "expénses necessary for the.
[10037]detection and prosecution of crimes against the United States" and
[10038]more specifically for the "payment of rewards,” L
[10040]At page 879 of these hearings, there is set forth
[10041]as part of the testimony on “Investigative Accomplishments, " a
[10042]paragraph detailing the statistics achieved by the use of confidential
[10043]informants. Since Congress has approved FBI appropriations without
[10044]objection to the use of money for "payment of rewards" or for the
[10045]informant achievements listed in the testimony, the approval of the
[10046]appropriations serves as one form of legislative approval for the
[10048]use of informants.
[10050]' The use of informants does not violate the defendant's
[10052]rights under the Fourth Amendment. Hoffa v. United States, 385
[10053]g € ye HORA v. United erares:
[10055]U.S. 293 (1966).
[10057]"Neither this Court, nor any member of it has
[10058]ever expressed the view that the Fourth Amend-
[10059]ment protects a wrongdoer's misplaced belief
[10060]that a person to whom he voluntarily confides
[10061]his wrongdoing will not reveal it. Indeed, the
[10062]Court unanimously rejected that very contenticn
[10063]_---in Lopez v. United States, 373 U.S, 427-~-"
[10065]Jd. at 302
[10067]. The Court aiso held that the use of an informer did
[10068]not violate Hoffa's rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments,
[10070]1 citing United States v. Dennis, 183 F.2d 201, 224, (1950), which
[10072]; said,
[10073]"Courts have countenanced the use of informers
[10074]from time immemorial; in cases of conspiracy,
[10075]or in other cases when the crime consists of
[10076]preparing for another crime it is usually necessary
[10077]to rely upon them or upon accomplices because
[10079]{° the criminals will almost certainly proceed

[10105]Besides the explicit recognition reflected above of
[10106]‘the right of investigative bodies to avail ‘themselves of informants,
[10107]there are other Supreme Court cases which implicitly recognize
[10108]this right by regulating the conditions under which an informant's
[10109]' Ydentity need be revealed at trial. (Roviaro v. United States,
[10110]$53 U.S, 53 (1957)), or the conditions to be met in using an
[10111]boon, informant's information as the basis of probable cause for an
[10112]t arrest without a warrant. (Draper v. United States, 358 U.S. 307
[10113], -7 (1859); McCray v. Dlinois, 386 U.S. 300 (1967). Similarly,
[10114]..-" * the Supreme Court has recognized that informant information may
[10115]"form the basis for a warrant application, provided the affidavit
[10116]: . shows the underlying circumstances which would give reason to
[10117]believe the informant is credible, and circumstances showing
[10118], the basis for conclusions reached by the informant. (Aguilar v.
[10119]' Texas, 378 U.S. 108 (1964)). >
[10121]_ The above-cited cases show that while couris have

[10159]MEMORANDUM TO ALL SPECIAL AGENTS IN CHARGE:
[10161](A) INFORMANT MATTERS - DEFENSE PLANS AND STRATEGY --
[10162]Recently there have been several instances where attorneys in connection
[10163]- with law suits have publicly and erroneously alleged that the FBI utilized
[10164]informants to uncover defense plans and strategy. Also, recently'a former
[10165]- informant falsely alleged that informant's services were utilized by the
[10166]Bureau to infiltrate a defense camp. These accusations reemphasize the
[10167]need for the careful and professional handling of informants at all times.
[10169]AS you are aware under current policy, informants are advised
[10170]to avoid becoming involved in defense plans or strategy in subversive-type
[10171]cases or with anyone under criminal indictment. It is the responsibility
[10172]of all Speciai Agents handling informants to insure that their informants
[10173]are continually alert so that they will avoid becoming invoived in defense -
[10174]matters and in the event an informant is requested to assist or partake in
[10175]such matters, that the contacting Agent is immediately advised so that the
[10176]matter will be recorded. If the iniurimant cannot avoid heing invalved,
[10177]informant is not to report any information pertaining to defense plans or
[10178]strategy and such incident must be promptly reported to the Bureau under
[10180]the substantive case caption.
[10182]In view of the above, the statement of cooperation normally
[10183]signed by security and extremist informants is being amended to incorporate
[10184]current policy regarding defense plans and strategy. Where it is not required
[10185]as in criminal informant cases or it has not been practical to obtain a state- -
[10186]ment of cooperation, each handling Agent must orally advise the informant
[10187]of the above, reduce it to writing, and record it in the informant's file. Insure
[10188]that all pending informant files reflect the above as a matter of record.
[10190]Manual changes follow.

[10720]The Pirector advised that the President will want the FBI to
[10722]set up a group in the Dominican Republic to advise the President of
[10724]the Dominican Republic concerning Communists, how to deal with them,
[10725]and how to get rid of them. It is contemplated that we will set up
[10727]a Legal Attache's Office, with.a group of 20 to 25 men, for the’ purpose
[10728]of taking charge of cleaning out communists in the Dominican ‘Govern-
[10729]ment and advising the government of those. who may try to infiltrate.
[10730]into the government. This activity would take place first in the
[10732]city of Santo Domingo, and then extend throughout the country until
[10733]_811 communists have been spotted and the Dominican Government has been
[10734]advised, ; ‘at
[10736]All of the agents to be sent down should be fluent in Spanish
[10737]_ and we should select any who have Dominican or Spanish blood, which
[10738]will assist them in working inconspicuously with the populace.
[10740]Relative to the Legal Attache, he should be a top man, fully
[10741]experienced, as he will be dealing.with the President of the Dominican
[10743]Republic and with our Ambassador there. o
[10744]ACTION: - . , Fi
[10745]In anticipation of the above, the Director desires that we eZ
[10747]draw up suggestions for a Legal Attache and for a group of twenty to ~
[10748]twenty-five men who can proceed, when so-ordered, to the Dominican
[10749]Republic for this purpose.
[10751]. A copy of this memorandum is being designated for the
[10752]_ Administrative Division so that.the Domestic Intelligence Division
[10753]and the Administrative Division can work together on this. Tiwe

[10779]inSanto Domingo, Dominican Republic, whohas already begun to make a
[10780]valuablé Contribution to the over-all efforts of the United States in making
[10781]certain that the Dominican Republic does not become another Cuba. If the
[10783]’ United States succeeds in its efforts to keep communists out of the new
[10784]Dominican coalition government which is in the process of being formed,
[10785]current United States policy in the Dominican Republic could very well
[10786]become the established course of action for all other countries in Latin
[10788]. America threatened with conimunism.
[10790]The responsibilities which have been placed upon the Bureau
[10791]in developing intelligence data in the Dominican Republic, as well as in
[10792]other Latin-American countries, are not only tremendous but may be the
[10793]heaviest and most far-reaching burden the FBI has ever been asked to
[10794]assume in the intelligence field. To guarantee our complete success,
[10795]teamwork is a must.

[10801]Accordingly, first we must do everything possible to assist

[10811]of "DOMSIT" (code word for "Dominican Situation") the following:
[10813](1) Identities of any established sources (former or current)
[10814]who are now in the Dominican Republic.

[10842]: In addition to the Dominican requirements placed upon the Bureau,
[10843]your attention is directed to over-all need for additional informants and
[10844]sources in the Latin-American field. The reputation the Bureau has gained
[10845]during recent Dominican crisis is due in large part to the results achieved
[10847]in developing Dominican sources through a concentrated informant develop-
[10848]ment program over the past several years. .
[10850]In view of critical state of unrest in Latin America today, each
[10851]office should survey its informant coverage in this field. If substantial
[10852]numbers of nationals of any Latin-American country reside within the
[10853]territory covered by your office, Bureau expects that you will have coverage
[10854]sufficient to alert you to exile organizational activities of political nature,

[11168]| desire that the FBI remain in the Dominican Republic and the
[11169]Legal Attache, Santo Domingo, be authorized to turn =

[11171]; In accordance with the desire of the President anc
[11172]recommendation of the Honorable Marvin Watson, Special
[11173]Assistant to the President, that the FBI remain in the Dominican
[11174]Republic, the Director, on 8/2/66, advised the White House
[11175]that our staff in Santo Domingo would be redu%ed to three men
[11176]and that henceforth this office will be manned in a manner ,

[11228]- Fe .
[11230]In the case of . this informant was originally
[11231]developed by the New York Office. Legal Attache suggested
[11232]the New York Office might have use of informant's services,
[11234]:- This information furnished to New York Office which replied
[11235]that in the absense of organized activity informant would be
[11236]of no use unless he came to New York with instructions from
[11237]- Dominican communist groups to reorganize activity. . This,
[11238]of course, is not a desirable situation.
[11240]OBSERVATIONS :
[11242]We believe Legal Attache, Santo Domingo'ts recommendation
[11243]to turn . over to CIA. is sound, even though
[11244]both of these sources are in a position to furnish valuable
[11245]intelligence information to us. By making these informants
[11246]available to the Agency we will avoid any possible duplication
[11247]or conflict. This matter should be discussed with aprropriate
[11248]officials by our Liaison Agent in order to insure the Agency
[11249]is fully aware of our current status in the Dominican Republic.
[11251]- ACTION:
[11253]IF you ‘approve:
[11254]{1) Liaison Agent will advise appropriate CIA
[11255]officials as follows:
[11258]e
[11260]In accordance with the desire of the President that
[11261][ tne FBI remain in the Dominican Republic, we are setting up a
[11262]regular Legal Attache Office in Santo Domingo. consisting of

[11264]Will serve as a strategic listening post for intelligence data
[11266]and as liaison with agencies. of the Dominican Republic, as
[11267]well as other agencies of foreign governments in that cotntry.
[11268]In connection with this reorganization, we have instructed our

[11270]able to the Agency in the event it may wish to operate them.

[11714](A) DOMINICAN SITUATION (NATIONALITY GROUP COVERAGE - LATIN
[11715]AMERICA)-- For your information, Bureau has established a Legal Attache
[11716]it Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, whohas already begun to make a
[11717]valuable contr ibution to the over-all efforts of the United States in making
[11718]certain that the Dominican Republic does not become another Cuba. If the
[11719]United States succeeds in its efforts to keep communists out of the new
[11720]Dominican coalition government which is in the process of being formed, r
[11721]current United States policy in the Dominican Republic could very well ;
[11722]become the established course of action for all other countries in Latin
[11723]America threatened with communism.
[11725]5
[11728]tee
[11730]The responsibilities which have been placed upon the Bureau
[11731]in developing intelligence data in the Dominican Republic, as well as in
[11732]other Latin-American countries, are not only tremendous but may be the
[11734]heaviest and most far-reaching burden the FBI has ever been asked to
[11736]assume in enc intoll 185: sence i iain. Ts cuprontag our ramnl ate Snecess,
[11738]teamwork is a must.
[11740]Accordingly, first we must do everything possible to assist
[11741]Legal Attache, Santo Domingo, in his immediate task of developing
[11742]quality sources of sufficient quantity to effect maximum coverage in the
[11743]Dominican Republic.
[11745]In this regard, each office and Legal Attache must furnish
[11746]"to the Buréald Within tive’ days 6f' the réceipt of this letter under the caption --
[11747]. of "DOMSIT" (code word for "Dominican Situation") the following:

[11787]Any leads for purpose of checking background of potential sources
[11788]for Santo Domingo must receive priority attention and results submitted by
[11790]teletype. i
[11792]In addition to the Dominican requirements placed upon the Bureau,
[11793]your attention is directed to over-all need for additional informants and
[11794]sources in the Latin-American field. The reputation the Bureau has gained
[11795]during recent Dominican crisis is due in large part to the results achieved
[11796]in developing Dominican sources through a concentrated informant develop-
[11797]ment program over the past several years. as
[11799]tet
[11801]In view of critical state of unrest in Latin America today, each
[11802]office should survey its informant coverage in this field. If substantial
[11803]numbers of nationals of any Latin-American country reside within the
[11804]territory covered by your office, Bureau expects that you will have coverage
[11805]sufficient to alert you to exile organizational activities uf poiftival nature,
[11806]plots to overthrow existing governments, and general intelligence data
[11808].,, concerning the countries of interest. Informant development in this field
[11809]Gs considered most important and any weaknesses which now exist must be
[11810]overcome promptly by instituting an aggressive informant development
[11812]program.

[12572]Re: OPERATIONS
[12573]LEGAL ATTACHE, SANTO DOMINGO OFFICE
[12575]In the case of DOM-i2, this informant was originally
[12576]developed by the New York Office. Legal Attache suggested
[12577]the New York Office might have use of informant’s services.
[12578]This information furnished to New York Office which replied
[12579]that in the absense of organized activity informant would be
[12580]of no use unless he came to New York with instructions from
[12581]Dominican communist groups to reorganize activity. This,
[12582]of course, is not a desirable situation.
[12584]OBSERVATIONS :
[12586]We believe Legal Attache, Santo Domingo's recommendation
[12588]to turn-BOM=10 and BOM=12 over to CIA is sound, even though
[12590]both of these sources are in a position to furnish valuable
[12591]intelligence information to us. By making these informants
[12592]available to the Agency we will avoid any possibie duplication
[12594]or conflict. This matter should be discussed with appropriate

[14188]The Attorney General
[14190]Lost of this information is obtained from paid
[14191]informants, from other law enforcement officers, from alert
[14192]citigons, and from court-approved clectronic surveillances
[14193]installed under the provisions of Title III of the Ommibus crime
[14194]Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968.
[14196]Wone of it, however, is intelligence for intclligence's
[14197]sake. The experionec of the FBI over the years has shown that
[14198]crininal syndicates exist for the sole purpose of conducting
[14199]illegal operations and that anyone belonging to them may
[14200]reasonably be presumed to be engaged in one or more of these
[14201]activities. Therefore, our investigations of the organiacd
[14202]undervorld are not aimed at developing gencoral nonspecific
[14203]data but at establishing which criminal violations its members
[14204]aro ongaged in and then proving these violations in a court
[14205]of Lav.
[14207]Obviously, not every case opened, cvery Lead followed,
[14208]or every bit of information reeeived is going to wind up in
[14209]Federal court. On the contrary, much of this material relates
[14210]to offenses outside the investigative jurisdiction of the
[14211]FBI. ‘then such is the ease, we immediately disseminate the
[14212]information to the appropriate Federal, state, or local agency.
[14213]igs a result, information wncovered by the FSI during the past
[14214]five years alone has enabled the recipient agencies to make
[14215]more than 17,000 organized crime arrests; confiscate over
[14216]151,000,000 worth of illicit drugs and narcotics, (:9,000,000
[14217]worth of cash, property, weapons, and wagering paraphernalla,
[14218]and .6,000,000 worth of counterfolt bills; and assess tax
[14219]liens against 19,000,000 worth of property apising out of
[14220]Federal gambling cases.
[14222]In addition, a considerable portion of the organized
[14223]crine intelligence information doevelosea by the FBI is for-
[14224]warded to the various Fedcral Strike Forces coordinating
[14225]racket investigations throughout the country and to the
[14226]criminal Division of the Department, which has entered this
[14227]information in its computerized data bank called "Racketcer
[14228]rrofile."

[14233]The Attorney General
[14235]In response to the sccond request in your letter,
[14236]my answer is restricted to communications between the White
[14237]House and the FBI as it would not be appropriate for me to
[14238]attempt to respond for other agencies under your jurisdiction.
[14240]There are two major areas in which the Attornoy
[14241]General docs not sce communications between the ‘tihite House
[14242]and the FBI. They are the results of mame checks and the
[14243]results of full ficld investigationswe do for the Vhite Housc.
[14244]The White House requests approzimately 13,000 name checks per
[14245]year concerning persons who visit the White House complex whe
[14246]could pose a physical threat or possible embarrassment to tho
[14247]President directly or indirectly. Approximately 1,000 full
[14248]field background investigations on Presidential appointecs,
[14249]nenbers of the White House staff, and othor porsons having
[14250]regular access to the White House are requested annually.
[14252]I direct your attention to Section 0.15 (b) (7),
[14253]Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, which states that the
[14254]Doputy Attorney General shall "Coordinate Departmucntal liaison
[14255]with the Vhite House staff and the Bxecutive Office of the
[14256]President." When this order was promulgatcd there vere
[14257]discussions botireon the Department and Bureau officials as
[14258]to its implomentation and its impact on oxisting direct
[14259]liaison between the FBI and the White House. My Letter to
[14260]the Attorney Goneral, May 2, 1974, captioned "Revision of the
[14261]Departnont of Justice Organization Regulations (28 CFR Fart 0),"
[14262]sot forth the Fair's need for a Special Agent-Liaigon officer
[14263]to handle day ta day oporatilonal liaison with the ‘ihite House.
[14264]His activities were outlined and it was requested that he
[14265]continue to handle operational probleus on a dally basis
[14266]with specific individuals because of the sensitivity of the
[14267]natters involved, both of a personal security and intelligence
[14268]nature,
[14270]By memorandum dotcd May 16, 1974, captioned "Direct
[14271]Operational Iiaison with the “hite House," the Attorney General
[14272]authorized the continuance of FBI direct operationol liaison
[14273]with the thite House.

[14280]The Attorney General
[14282]With the exceptions as noted above, the FBI has
[14283]adhered to a policy that when information is given to the
[14284]Uhbite House the Attorney General is given the same information
[14285]contemporaneously. host of this information rolates to current
[14286]matters pertaining to the national sccurity. This dissemination
[14287]to the White House is sometimes based on roquests from the
[14288]White House but more frequently on the initiative of the FGI,
[14290]With regard to any correspondence directed to this
[14291]Bureau from the White House, short of a file by file revicr,
[14292]there ls no means of determining whether or not such commurnica~
[14293]tions bypassed the Attorney Goneral.
[14295]The established rule of furnishing tho Attorncy
[14296]General copies of correspondence to the White House should be
[14297]followed strictly so that the Attorney General is kept fully
[14298]informed on matters of interest to him.

[14786]Legal Counsel to Mr. Adams Memo
[14787]RE: SENSTUDY 75
[14789]He was advised by SA Daly that we had previously received requests
[14791]for the interview of a number of employees in Atlanta, Georgia, by the
[14792]Committee and that upon receipt of the attached communication, after
[14793]consultation with Deputy Special Counsel for Intelligence Coordination
[14794]Michael Shaheen, SA Daly had telephonically informed John Elliff, head
[14796]of the domestic intelligence task force for the Committee, of the
[14797]Department's interpretation as set forth in the attached document and
[14799]the fact that Mr. ELliff should contact Mr. O'Connor concerning these
[14800]proposed interviews. Mr. O'Connor said that he had been contacted by
[14801]Mr. Elliff and had, in fact, told Mr. Elliff there would be no interviews.
[14802]In this regard, O'Connor stated the Department had prepared a proposed
[14803]draft letter to the Committee expressing concern for the Fifth Amendment
[14804]rights for Bureau employees and raising other legal issues. Mr. O'Connor
[14805]indicated that the finalized form of this letter should be sent to the
[14806]Committee in the near future.
[14808]The results of the conversation with John Elliff by O'Connor
[14809]have caused the Office of Legal Analysis to recéive complaints concerning .
[14810]this decision from various Committee staff members, including Mark
[14811]Gitenstein and Michael Epstein, We can anticipate, unless this particular
[14812]problem is resolved, receiving protests from their superiors on the
[14813]Committee,
[14815]RECOMMENDATION:
[14817]You will be kept advised of developments concerning this
[14818]matter. Legal Analysis Office will continue efforts to determine what
[14819]effect this will have on the GAO inquiry.

[14871]Interpretation of "Demand",
[14872]28 C.FR., B 16.21, et. seq. ~ Action Memorandum
[14874]The meaning of "demand" is not indicated, beyond subpoena, in ©
[14875]the C.F.R. sections indicated. This omission creates a need for an
[14876]interpretation, for purposes of uniform Department cf Justice reaction.
[14878]Outlines for inquiry proceedings were agreed upon between the
[14879]White House and the Senate Select Committee on June 13, 1975, anda
[14880]copy of those procedures was furnished to the Department on June 16,
[14881]; 1975. Under those guidelines, there is a general undertaking by the
[14882]i Committee to identify witnesses to the Agency a reasonable time before
[14883]the interviews occur. This general rule includes current and former
[14884]employees; certain exceptions (not clearly defined) are indicated in
[14885]the guidelines. ‘The Committee is required to provide the witness with
[14886]a copy of the procedures, and "relevant waivers of secrecy oaths or
[14887]agreements for the purpose of this inquiry". The Committee is required
[14888]to give prior notice of an interview, generally, specifying: (a) sub-
[14893]Fs
[14896]FL, ae ws
[14900]ae x ject area; (b) periods of employment; (c) the date set for the interview.
[14901]ag
[14903]= i, “sd Since these structured procedures, taken with the rules of the
[14904]at NN . 2 7 * eet .
[14905]ate | Subcommittee, may create a requirement of testimony upon witnesses, it
[14907]eo seems to me clear that the paragraphs of 28 C.F.R., § 16.21, et. seq.,
[14909]which refer to "demand" should be interpreted to include any request
[14910]by any Committee staff member to interview any employee, former employee
[14911]or other person connécted with the Department of Justice.
[14913]This interpretation requires certain action: (1) that the wit-
[14914]ness be authorized to speak under 8 16.23 by an appropriate Department
[14915]Official; and, (2) that an appropriate Department Official be designated.
[14916]T would think that the appropriate Department Official for the FBI should
[14917]be the Director of the FBI or the FBI General Counsel, in coordination
[14919]with this office. bh

[15007]On July 23, 1975, Mike Gitenstein, staff
[15008]member Senate Select Committee , vequested that he
[15009]be given a briefing concerning "Official and Con-,
[15010]fidential" files. By way of background, we ‘furnished
[15011]a summary of the inspection inquiry to the Committee
[15012]by letterhead memorandum dated 7-16-75, and also
[15013]made available for review in Bureau space a list of
[15014]people contacted during the course of this inquiry.
[15016]With regard to Gitenstein's request it would
[15017]appear beneficial for us to brief the Senate Select
[15018]Committee representative concerning the scope and
[15019]details of this inquiry. In this regard it appears
[15020]Gitenstein is interested in those individuals who
[15021]were. contacted by the Inspection Division during their
[15022]inspection into the "Official and Confidential"
[15024]iles.
[15026]If approved the briefing will be tentatively
[15027]scheduled for Friday, July 25, 1975.

[15091]By memorandum dated June 24, 1975, you were
[15092]advised of the Department's intention to make a closed
[15093]Departmental fileeavailable to captioned Committee.
[15095]file contained the results of a criminal investigation
[15096]conducted by the Bureau. The Intelligence, General
[15097]Investigative and Special Investigative Divisions were
[15098]requested to furnish their views concerning this matter
[15099]and the Legal Counsel Division was to prepare a letter
[15100]to the Department setting forth the Bureau's position
[15101]with regard to this matter.
[15103]We have since had discussions with the Attorney
[15104]General and other representatives of the Department concerning
[15105]Senate Select Committee access to Bureau files and
[15106]submitted correspondence to the Department concerning
[15108]this matter. It would appear additional communications
[15110]to the Department are unnecessary. The Department is
[15112]well aware of our position in this matter. @
[15113]RECOMMENDATION:
[15115]We do not prepare a communication to the

[15203]U. S. SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE
[15204]ACTIVITIES (SSC); INTERVIEW OF ASSISTANT
[15205]DIRECTOR IN CHARGE ROBERT E. GEBHARDT BY
[15207]soC STAFF MEMBER
[15209]On August 7, 1975, Assistant Director Robert E.
[15210]Gebhardt, Los Angeles Division, was interviewed in the Los
[15211]Angeles FBI Office by Mr. Lester Seidel, Staff Member of
[15212]the Senate Select Committee, United States Senate.
[15214]Gebhardt's rights were not explained to him by
[15215]Seidel although Seidel did explain the purpose of the
[15217]interview, that is..the~Gointel Pro é as it
[15219]related to the FBI's investigation of the Blac anther Pa rty,
[15220]when Gebhardt was the = a cal Agent in. in Charge” “or the” can
[15221]RranCisto Division Ero S72 eel
[15223]The interview lasted ‘From 9: 05 AM until 10:30 AM,
[15224]and it was not necessary for Gebhardt to consult with any
[15225]Bureau representative.
[15227]Gebhardt bad previously been advised by a Bureau
[15228]representative of his right to counsel, the privileged areas
[15229]of information, consultation privileges, and the parameters
[15230]of interview. Saree seenmreeerensomrnennae ee

[15233]Seidel inquired at the outset as to whether Gebhardt
[15235](UES aware of the Cointel Program relative to the Black Panther
[15237]Party investigation on a day-to-day basis being specifically
[15238]advised details of the investigation as it relates to the
[15239],Cointel Program. It was expkained to Seidel that as Special
[15240]Agent in Charge of the San Francisco FBI Office wherein
[15242]over 500 employees were located at the time, Gebhardt had
[15243]many responsibilities in the operation of that division and

[15261]therefore, relied upon the experience, expertise, and judgment
[15262]of the various supervisors assigned to the office for the
[15263]day-to-day direction of the various matters under investigation,
[15264]including the investigation of the Black Panther Party.
[15266]It was further explained that if a problem was
[15267]encountered or a particularly unusual situation developed,
[15268]Gebhardt was, of course, consulted and was available for
[15269]such consultation to resolve any particular problem areas.
[15271]Gebhardt was next asked if he recalled being SAC
[15272]when the electronic coverage of the Black Panther Party and
[15273]the various officials at BBP was instituted and eventually
[15274]terminated. Seidel was advised that the electronic coverage
[15275]was already in effect upon Gebhardt's arrival, however, he
[15276]does recall receiving a phone call after the "Keith Decision"
[15277]was handed down instructing that all electronic coverage of
[15278]the BPP and the various members of the BPP be discontinued.
[15279]The call was received from Bureau Headquarters and the
[15280]discontinuance was effected immediately.
[15282]Seidel inquired as to whether Gebhardt felt the
[15283]intelligence type investigations should be completely removed
[15284]from the criminal investigations which investigations would be
[15285]looking toward eventual prosecution.
[15287]Seidel was informed by Gebhardt that even in criminal
[15288]investigations looking toward prosecutions, much intelligence
[15289]information is obtained from time to time which really has no
[15290]value from a prosecutive standpoint, but does have possible
[15291]value with respect to the direction of the investigation. In
[15292]some criminal investigations a great deal of intelligence
[15293]information may be obtained and in other types, very little.
[15294]Insofar as the FBI is concerned, however, every effort is
[15295]made to make certain there is some Federal law which would be
[15296]a basis for an investigation which procedures would include
[15297]Matters commonly referred to as security investigations.
[15299]In some instances, in such security investigations
[15300]a great deal of intelligence information would be obtained
[15301]therefore, it was Gebhardt's opinion that so-called intelli-
[15302].gence type investigations should not be removed from or
[15303]differentiated from criminal type investigations Looking
[15304]toward prosecutions since intelligence information is an
[15305]outgrowth of the basic investigation.

[15315]Gebhardt was asked if he felt the Cointelpro was a
[15316]separate entity distinguished from the basic investigation
[15317]and it was explained that the Cointelpro was a phase of the
[15318]overall investigation in any particular organization or
[15319]individual.
[15321]Gebhardt was asked if he felt Congress should enact
[15322]legislation which would set forth specific investigative
[15323]techniques that could or could not be utilized by the FBI or
[15324]other Federal investigative agencies. He was advised in
[15325]Gebhardt's opinion, such legislation should not be enacted,
[15326]and in reply to the question as to why such legislation should
[15327]not be enacted, it was pointed out that as an investigative
[15328]agency, there must of necessity be allowed a certain flexi-
[15329]bility because no two investigations are exactly alike and the
[15330]circumstances of such investigations could possibly not be
[15331]related to such Federal law.
[15333]In answer to the question as to how Congress should
[15334]assure the American public that questionable activity such
[15335]as the Cointelpro, was not being engaged in by an investigative
[15336]agency such as the FBI, Seidel was informed that the Congress
[15337]and the American people must rely upon the integrity and
[15338]honesty of the Director of the FBI and the Attorney General.
[15340]It was pointed out that both the Director of the
[15342]FBI and the Attorney General are nominated by the President,
[15344]hearings are held before the various Congressional Committees
[15346]and finally approved by the Senate. It was further pointed
[15348]out that Director Kelley has recently stated in connection with
[15350]the publicity relative to Cointelpro, that he has no intention
[15352]of permitting this program to be reinstituted in the FBI and
[15354]if circumstanceg ever arose which circumstances he could not
[15355](contemplatalst this time, wherein it was thought such
[15357]activitités should be embarked upon, he would obtain the personal
[15359]approval of the Attorney General prior to such instituting.
[15361]Seidel was informed that Gebhardt was in total agreement with
[15363]this statement of Mr. Kelley.
[15365]Gebhardt was asked as to what his feelings were
[15366]relative to what the relationship should be between the FBI
[15367]and Congress. He was informed that a Senate Oversight
[15368]Committee was recently established and it was felt that this
[15369]was a good start and that this Committee should formalize and
[15371]) MW 88326 Docid:32989627 Page 271
[15374]standardize their oversight responsibilities and make regular
[15375]inquiries of the Director and other officials of the FBI as
[15376]to our activities. He was informed that there should be
[15377]either a joint oversight committee between the House and
[15378]Senate or if the Congress decided on two oversight Committees
[15379]in both the House and Senate, these committees should be the
[15380]entities through which all information relative to the
[15381]activities of the FBI should flow.
[15383]It was emphasized however, that there should be
[15384]regular consultation between these representafives and the
[15385]FBI.
[15387]Inquiry was made as to Gebhardt's opinion relative
[15389]| to the relationship between the Department of Justice and
[15391]: the FBI and Seidel was informed the relationship, in Gebhardt's
[15393]opinion, is excellent, should continue, and there should be
[15395]' a free flow of information between the FBI and the Department
[15396]of Justice.
[15398]At the conclusion of the interview, Gebhardt summed
[15399]up his comments by stating that Congress should definitely
[15400]set up a structured oversight procedure of the activities
[15401]of the FBI with due regard to the confidentiality of many
[15402]of the FBI operations and investigations and must assure
[15403]itself that the members of the Committee and its staff will
[15404]maintain the confidentiality where necessary.
[15406]Secondly, in the areas of investigative matters
[15407]usually referred to as national defense, national security
[15408]or intelligence operations, all of the FBI investigations
[15409]must be based on the application of the facts toward a
[15410]particular Federal statute and if the facts are so oblique
[15411]that they cannot be clearly applied to a particular Federal
[15412]statute, consultation with the Department of Justice should
[15413]be had in all instances.

[15464]concerning the alleged penetration of Congressional
[15466]_and Senatorial offices by the KGB of agents oF Soviet
[15468]bloc Nations. Miller said “he did not have any ‘further
[15470]etaits and stated he was uncertain whether the report
[15472]alleged actual penetration of the offices or simply
[15474]increased contacts by the Soviets with Members of Congress.
[15475]Miller said he believed the source of the report was a
[15476]television interview of Senator Goldwater (R-Arizona)
[15478]on Sunday, 6-15-75. f
[15480]Mr. Miller said the members of the Senate
[15481]Committee were concerned about these allegations and “

[15483]into the matter. Assistant Director Wannall has been
[15484]advised of this request.
[15486]RECOMMENDATION:
[15488]In view of the sensitivity of this matter, it

[16867]reportedly voiced his displeasure to O'Flaherty stating he
[16869]did not approve of the latter's action. [The memorandum in

[16871]to determine the direction Senator Jackson would take in future
[16872]actions he might encounter which might involve CIA activity
[16873]Thweat advised he would recontact his relative to determine if
[16874]this individual would come forward, reveal his identity and
[16876]be cooperative in any investigation.

[16882]On the morning of 7/31/75, Philadelphia Office was
[16883]telephonically contacted and instructed to expedite a contact
[16884]with Thweat to determine the availability of his relative. At
[16885]approximately 2:30 p.m., 7/31/75, Philadelphia Office advised
[16886]that Thweat, upon recontact,‘had stated that it would be impossible
[16887]to contact his relative before this coming weekend. In conver-
[16888]sation, he identified his relative as a niece who is currently
[16889]attending school in #ashington, D. C.. He further advised that
[16890]O'Flaherty reportedly is no longer residing with his wife and
[16892]. is engaged in an emotional relationship with his niece. Thweat
[16894]added he believed his niece would be cooperative as she has

[17001]The Intelligence Division advised Philadelphia Office
[17002]telephonically informed FBIHQ on 8/5/75 that Thweat had returned to
[17003]Philadelphia from seeing his niece and indicated she would talk to the

[17005]to talk to the Agent who is a personal friend of Thweat and to whom
[17006]he initially confided the information regarding this matter. Philadelphia
[17007]was advised in view of the time lag a more preferable alternative
[17008]would be for WFO Agents to contact the niece or as another alternative the
[17009]Philadelphia Agent would travel.to Washington, D. C., to conduct
[17010]the interview. Philadelphia was requested to expeditiously recontact
[17011]Thweat concerning the above possibilities.
