Judge WILSON emphasized, however, that his decision.with respect to the paroling of any individual had never been influenced by a Con- gressman, an official of the Department, or anyone else.

McCABE in=#ef- erenced telephone conversation with the writer, Judge T. _,;, WEBBER UILSON was interviewed at Goldwater, Mississippi October 6, 1947. The results of the interview are set forth below. HEDOEEENDATIONS-Priests and Citizens of Chicago Judge WIISON stated that although he could not remember the names of any priests or any citizens in Chicago from whom letters recommending the paroling of the five subjects in question were received, it is his recol- lection that at the time their suggestions were being considered he, Judge WILSON, noted that the communications were on stationery or letterheads of reputable concerns, such as International Harvester. He stated that he could not recall the name of any concern the letterhead of which was used except that of International Harvester. Judge&#39;WIISON pointed out that it had never been his policy to check the character and reputation of such indiv~ iduals as priests and private citizens who would address communications to the Parole Board expressing interest in the paroling of prisoners. I SPONSORS OR ADVISERS Judge WILSON pointed out that before any prisoner may be paroled, -" a Sponsor or an Adviser must have been appointed for the prisoner. Usually the Sponsor or Adviser is some citizen from the prisoner&#39;s place of residence who in effect states he will vouch for the parolee and assist in his rehabil- itation. Before such Adviser or Sponsor is accepted by the Parole Board, the Sponsor or Adviser must be investigated. Such investigations, ordinarily, are conducted by the Federal Probation Officers. The investigation of the Sponsors or Advisers who represented the five subjects in this case was handled by Hr. FISHER, Chief Federal Probation Officer, Chicago, Illinois, Judge WILSON stated that apparently the results of the investigation made of the Supervisors or Sponsors in question were satisfactory. However, he has no independent recollection about the results of the investigation, nor does he know the Sponsors or Ldvisers who were actually appointed. He denied that his decision in this case was influenced by the Sponsors or Advisers.

Rispondendo a coloro che vedevano complicità politiche nella vicenda Moro, affermavo con sicumera: «Dietro le Brigate Rosse c’erano le Brigate Rosse». Dopo trent’anni dalla fine delle istruttorie, ho consultato documenti e ascoltato testi- monianze che mi erano stati intenzionalmente nascosti da alcu- ne istituzioni infedeli, poi li ho recuperati grazie al coraggio di politici e Ministri fedeli alla Repubblica.

    378 Obviously, the possibility cannot be dismissed, although it can hardly be said to have been established. At this point, it is, in your words, Mr. Chairman, perhaps only a little more than a "suspicion suspected," not a "fact found." The committee decided early in its investigation, as soon as it realized that a Mafia plot to assassinate the President warranted serious consideration, to assemble the most reliable information available on organized crime in the United States. The details of this phase of the committee's investigation will, of course, appear, hopefully in full, in its final report, a report that will consider the background of organized crime in America, the structure o£ the Mafia in the early 1960's, the effort by the Kennedy administration to suppress the mob, and the evidence that the assassination might have been undertaken in retaliation for those efforts. To scrutinize the possible role of organized crime in the assassi- nation, the committee early brought on one of the country's lead- ing experts on the subject. He is Ralph Salerno, whose career as an organized crime investigator with the New York City Police De- partment goes back to 1946. Mr. Salerno has since retired from the New York City Police Department and I would note that on the day of his retirement, the New York Times was moved to comment that he perhaps knew more about the Mafia than any nonmember in the United States. It would be appropriate at this time, Mr. Chairman, to call Ralph Salerno. Chairman STOKES . The committee calls Mr.
