In effect it requires a subpoena be served by a government investigator to interview CBS personnel. Mr. WHITTSETP said he would be willing, to appeal to CBS New York headquarters to rescind tho policy on behalf of tho F3I upon request of the FBI in tho KBNSALT inquiry. However, he voiced the opinion such an appeal raight more effectively be mad© on a request by the FBI headquarters direct to CBS headquartors, New York City. He instructed Kr, H0LC0K3 to make a copj^fjjhe CBS mono outlining the nev* policy available to SA^HH^or reviewJmt not furnish him a copy. In substance, contents of the memo were: I© mesio dated 9/19/68 was frcm Mr. VOOD [ROBERT P./wOOD, President, C/?.unbla Television Stations)(CTS) to *Ir7 B^l/lDO^ (RAY L.

You may consider the following an interim policy and how to fill such requests." "CHD (Col\gnbia ITatyoricibivision)-a nunber of requests have been received /roi/goTOrnfaent investigators to furnish narjes, and correspondence of news involved in coverage of events boing investigated, e.g. recent violence in Chicago." In addition approval has been made directly to CITD employees by government investigators, these pending and requiring urgent action. CUD requested guidance a3 to how to handle these requests for names etc and how employees should be advised to respond directly to approaches by government investigators.* -.<>«•.';:-.-•*. m IA 9U-3OU - Tf.'• I"""The logic underlying policy adopted at meeting .,„ #80, August, 1968, for handling requests for, as broadcast I news material and outtakes, is generally applicable to ; requests for the observations, resile ct ions and notes of ? CHD, CTS and CRD (Columbia Radio division) nows; went as I follows:" " "All request for interviews by g investigators, involved in coverage of events under investigation, should be reviewed with the Law Department by an officer of the division involved." , "Criteria: "A. Hature of Inquiry." nB. Whether, what is requested is essential to the establishment of facts pertinent to the inquiry." "C. Whether compliance would in any way impair our ability to obtain such news stories in the future." "If a determination is made to cociply with a request, the investigator will be asked to obtain and serve a subpoena." The CBS personnel in all departments in the Los Angeles area have been most cooperative with the Los Angeles FBI Office during past investigation conducted at CBS and a cordial relationship currently exists. RSCOMHBHDATIOH The above is for the Bureau's information and appropriate action at CBS headquarters in New York to attempt to gain a recension of the CBS policy with respect to FBI interview of CBS personnel, advising the field offices accordingly. - 3 - emonu.

Deputy Medical Examiner, Los Angeles County, Ca'lifopfiia, telephonically contacted the Laboratory at the request of the Chief Medi- T w cal Examiner for L« Angeles, Dr. Thcmas ^ff^lir Dr. Holloway stated that In a recent conference At the White House relative to this case, President Johnson expressed the desire to Dr. Noguchi to have a Federal laboratory conduct neutron activation analyses on certain items of evidence collected by the Los/rfngeles, California, Police Department and bis office. Dr. Holloway was inquiring if the FBI Laboratory could examine by neutron activation analysis methods a speci- men bullet, foreign metallic deposits on a piece of bone and several biological specimens containing foreign metallic de- posits. The purpose of such examinations is to show that the foreign metal deposits originated from a bullet of the same lot as used by assassin Sirhan Bishara Sirnan. It was explained to Dr. Holloway that it was doubtful that such conclusions could be reached from such analysis and that at best, It might be concluded that the foreign metal smears could have originated from a bullet of similar composi- tion. Our policy of not examining materials previously examined by other laboratories was also defined to Dr. Holloway. Dr. Holloway was not certain as to what examinations had been made but stated he would find out. .. Upon conclusion of the discussion, Dr. Holloway advised that he would contact Dr. Noguchi and subsequently make a formal written request setting forth the examinations desired and the extent and nature of prior analyses. Dr. ' Holloway was advised that upon receipt of such information, the Bureau could then determine whether or not we would con- Q> t Buy U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savtngs M ^^K^^'vfK^x^^a^ii^Sig^\>^'i&'&^i^'.^^xiiA.-t ••.iv-Xu.'.-i.'

Here Is some information I feel you may be Interested in and I wish to report it in the hope it will be of value to you, but also hope you will not make .my name public. On the evening of Sunday June 2nd 1968 my niece,'husband and children from Illinois cane to visit me on their vac&ion. On Monday the next day, June 3rd, they felt too tired from their trip to do much sight seeing around Atlanta, but suggested they would like to go th the airport in the evening to see the Jets come in and take off; a past time .enjoyed by many people* That evening of June 3rd when we talked into the main upper lobby of the airport building about 7 PM Atlanta time, we heard a loud voice coming over the airport loud speaker calling Cerr an o - Csrrano. It was repeated several times asking the party tocorae to one of the ticket counters* My friend who lives with me looked at me and I at her both thinking what an odd name with, both first and last names the same. We went immediately to the observation platform and enjoyed seeing the children enjoying the sights. As I was seated on one of the benches 3 men pushed by me rather rudely, so I took special notice of them. One, a thin slender, blonde-about 5ft5>lnches-long thin face with very light complexion. A second man short-about *> ft, round face dark hair but looked anierican, and a taller man about 5ft 9- thin, dark brown hair and dark skin who looked foreign to me. Their countenances looked evil to me and they seemed to be in a hurry. I jumped up from the bench to find the children not knowing wha^t 3 men were up to. Then I saw them enter ( the 3 mSn) the inner glassed in portion of the observation platform and pointing towards the Eastern air lines planes. The thought crossed myrainjg an d £ wondered whether they were 'plotting to hi-jack a plane. Then they disappeared. .About ten minutes to 9 PM we left the plafform going back thru the main lobby to the parking lot to get our car. Again when we entered the lobby we still hoard the name Cerrano Ccrrano being called and repeated several times. 1 kept wondering to tnys_elf what was the significance of that name* The next morning Tuesday June Ifth when we hoard that Robert Kennedy had been shot by a nan whose name was SIRHAN SIRHAN, I still could not" shake off the feeling of the night before. ^ picture pt Sirhan was shown on the nevrs on TV 1 sawi that of one of the 3 men seen at the airport evenin{ Perhaps I should have reported this before but I not want to get myself involved either and tried But this morning when reading the Atlanta Constitutfjjjgg / account of Earl Ray ( Kings murderer) telling a news man about"! Blonde I»atin aman who had made different kinds of arrangements o page 2. for him. I thought could this be the same blpjide_inan, I saw at the airport and a part of some type of conspiracy? It is since reading this mornings paper that I felt urged very strongly to report what I had heard and seen at the airport on the night of June 3rd 1963, I shall be glad to discuss this with you but believe I have given all the Important details, I would appreceiate very much also that you not give me any publicity in this matter. I am not easily scared and have no fear/ofpem the wrong element. I have reported things before to the FBI here in Atlanta and respect your good judgment. „ • ' ' Respectfully submitted, u \\ SAC, KSMPSII 10/31/68 SAC, ATLAHT* MURKDI (OOt Keaphls) AT fil« 44-2386 CP) fll« 44-1987 KXKSALT (00: Los Angeles) AT file 44-2413 (ROC) LA file 56-156 tor Kenphls and Los Angeles la one Atlanta Office L» Inasmuch as this letter makes sons reference to circumstances vhich _ _feels «ay possiblj be connected with captioned aatteri eee letters are furnished for informational pur 'oes not appear that the reasoning used b In her letter would warrant any further action; h elt the receiving offices should be aware of "" opinion in this natter. _p Heaphls FEOERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION FOIPA DELETED PAGE INFORMATION SHEET _1 Page(a) withheld entirely at this location in the file.

SIRHAN. He advieed, however, that speculation is that a continuance for the beginning of the trial will undoubtedly be sought by GRANT B. COOPER who ia expected to enter the case in behalf of the defense of SIRHAN. It is Mr. HOWARD'S opinion that due to the fact that Mr. COOPER is currently engaged in defending one of the defendants in the Friars Club trial in U.S. District Court, Los Angeles, he will not be prepared to properly represent SIRHAN on 12/9/68. 8, >s Angelas C lty Superior System confidentially advieed follows: No action of record has taken place to date with respect to a continuance for a trial for SIRHAN B. SIRHAN. He expects, however, that on 12/3/68, all of the litigants will reappear before Judge HERBERT V. WAIXERto request a continuance in the beginning trial date, which is now scheduled for 12/9/68. JHrttral November 6, 1968 Los Angeles Police Department Homicide Division Los Angeles, California Dear Sirs: Last June when Senator Robert Kennedy was shot, I requested through our local FBI office that information be sent to you to the effect that it might be of importance to know whether Mr. Sirhan Sirhan was using one of the amphetamine drugs at the time of the incident. It was suggested that a urine sam- ' pie be obtained for analysis of amphetamine content. As you are well aware, amphetamines have become increasingly* implicated in certain violent forms of behavior and especially in certain murder cases. The association of amphetamine use with violence has been of special interest to a group of us here at Duke studying this problem. We have indications that certain of the other assassination attempts were by people who were known users of ampht"amines; for instance, James Earl . Ray apparently was a known user of methadrine. Because this is such a vital-problen at present, we would appre- ciate any information that you could give us concerning either (1) the urinalysis if it was done and/or (2) information about a past history of having used amphetamines in Mr. Sirhan Sirhan's case. Since there is a possibility that this information would _ not be available before trial,, I would appreciate. a_.letter to. this" effect, if that is the case. . We would appreciate any consideration that you can give us in this matter. : . • Sincerely yours EHE/by cc: Special Agent in Charge Federal -Bureau of Investigation 1340 West 6th Street Los Angeles, California 90017 ( K J Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge 1340 West 6th Street Los Angeles, California 90017 / O' «TDW. mm NO. « tWTMBBmoH SAC, Springfield SUBJECT: KENS.U.T' O0:LA Re Kansas City letter to Los Angeles 11/6/68.
