I told the SenatorI could get thatdone. I also toldhim thereis a complication therewhich theChief Justicetried totake careof in his opinion in thatthey aretrying toclaim there is no differentiationbetween typesthe of crime handled theby FBIand thoseof local authorities.stated I that, of course, is notentirelv accuratebecause Federalin crimesyou generall have thecase prettywell . madebefore makingan arrestand inlocal cri Y you mayhave anattack orassault andthe policeofficer hasto makean mes arrest at once. I statedunder therulings wenow have,a person has tobe advised that heneed nottalk andcan havea lawyer, et cetera,and thereforeI think it will hit thelocal authoritiesharder thanthe Federalauthorities, butI would get him up some notes on this.

Senator Byrdstated hewould appreciateit as he wouldlike to make a speech on the Senate floor hitting that ruling.

I spoke to Mr. Tolson about this matter and instructed that it be handled.

He said they have had since repeal a oneman organization that has degenerated and he interpolated that is 33 years! into a situation in which he has to take some extreme action. I commented that ~ I would imagine it is a real problem. I

Governor Goddard stated that the narcotics control is going to be helped by the Federal situation where they are going to get some young men t on the campuses who are trained, but the newspapers had revealed all the names of their secret agents. He stated it is a difficult situation andthe only M , solution is to put a first- class man into the situation until he, the Governor, can get back to the Legislature and changethe form of the department.

Senator Bayh x- stated he is Chairman of the Constitutional Amendment Subcommittee and they are planning to hold some hearings and bring in some law enforcement officials aroundthe country, lawyers and defense attorneys, prosecutors, -et cetera, to look into the impact on law enforcement by reason of the Supreme Court decision and others regarding confession and, of course, the FBI, being the apex of '92..... our law enforcement, would it at all bepossible to entice me or persuade me, if I were interested, in being their lead- off witness to give them an idea of - what effect this decision is going to be on the FBI and law enforcement morale , ,... in general. ~ OLI-- '. -i I told the Senator that the problem with which I am faced in this regard is that it has been the policy for years of the Department of Justice that if there is any testimony on legislation or policy, it is handled by a representative from the Deputy Attorney General's office. I stated that I have never appeared in behalf of legislation nor in opposition of legislation because of that general policy. I stated that this, of course, is even more delicate because the ruling of the Supreme Court has become quite controversial and is being attacked in some parts of the country and supported in other parts. I stated that ,_insofar as the Bureau is concerned, the Chief Justice in his opinion did refer-to the vi a-|- I procedure of the Bureau as conforming with what he conceived to be the proper -92|"r-. procedure in advising a defendant or a person under arrest of his rights before making any statement -- in other words he need not make a statement if he did .lY _- ' 1'-.'."-'~not want to and if he did, anything he said might be used against him, et cetera.

I told the Senatorthat I had justreturned late yesterday fromNew York andI sawin thepaper therewhere thebus driversare gettingmore money than thepolice andfiremen.

He stated he isa lawyerand knowsthe importanceof individual rights, butat the same time ' v he is a father anda tax payer andis concerned with copingwith theelement we donot liketo havearound. I statedI hearfrom allsides thequestion of r why thecourts aregiving somuch considerationto the technical rightsof the criminal andnone tothe rightsof societyto beable towalk thestreets or in parks withoutbeing muggedor raped. Istatedthat ispretty hardto answer as technically thedefendant is,of course,guaranteed rightsunder theConstitution and theBill ofRights andI sometimes personally feelsome of these judgesgo out oftheir wayto find someminor technicality toreverse thecase and I think thisis true at the locallevel asnationally and, of course thelocal judges follow thepattern set at the national level.I stated as/ggample in thematter of a mugging, which is prevalent in New YorkCity, when that occursthe local officer makesan immediatearrest andmaybe there is no witnessto confirm the victimwas beingmugged exceptthe person being mugged,who mayhave been killed,and theofficer is faced with theproblem ofwhat todo.

Q Yesterday evening, Mr. BillMoyers, Press Secretary to the President, _I92'§I_k'- called me by phone and stated the President had asked him to get in touch with n '92 92 -inI Y V. .'.._, . - me relative to a situation concerning Director Richard Helms of the Central 0 I 0 I f 2'. .-__'.'.'.'.'.'._. Intelligence Agency CIA!. ~.-.'.n I Mr. Moyers told me that Helms had written a letter to the St. Louis Y I Globe-Democrat praising an editorial appearing in that paper entitled, "Brickbat r for Fulbright. "

Mr. Moyers stated that Helms had been lured into appearing before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, of which Senator Fulbright is Chairman, this morning and the President desired that I get in touch with Mr. Helms and give him some advice and counsel as to how to handle himself so as to avoid the greatest embarrassment. ;

I communicated with Mr. Helms by telephone last evening and advised him of the request of the President for me to talk to him about his appearance before the Fulbright Committee this morning. I stated that as he, Mr. Helms, well knew, Senator Fulbright controlled the Committee by a substantial majority and that my advice to him, Mr. Helms, would be to have someone in his organization who might know Senator Mundt and Senator Hickenlooper, contact these Senators to ask questions that would bring out the basic facts as both Senator Mundt and Senator Hickenlooper were considered favorable to CIA.

I also advised Mr. Helms that while I thought he should, of course, be courteous in his appearance before the Committee, he should not in any way I cringe, as he would certainly then lose all face with the Committee which would in the future, no doubt, make it quite miserable for him.

.._-_'Q_v-_. .- Mr. Helms expressed his appreciation for the advice which I gave him and said he would certainlyit i E follow it. ALHNFORMATION CONTMNED :*O92'. '. 92;.~.92

He read to me the Executive Order creating the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and pointed out that its function is clearly limited to advising the President. He stated that his Board has never entered into any approval of or concurrence in any actions of the various members of the intelligence community but has limited its activities solely to advising the President.

l92 I MR._w1cx " 1/" 5 Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark called me today to tell me how much he had enjoyed his trip to Quantlco. He commented on what an outstanding job SAC Henry L. Sloan was doing and mentioned that he had shot I v a perfect score that day. I told Justice Clark that Sloan was busy super- * N vising the Academy and really did not get too much practice. He also com- mentedon Special Agent George Zeiss and said he thought hewas such a good I shot and that he enjoyed his trick shooting. Justice Clark said that he also wanted to tell me how happy everyone , is about the increase in the National Academy. I told him that this was something that we have needed for a long time; that I was a little hesitant about bringing this to the President's attention, but that he was most enthused about it. Justice Clark said he has heard from police all over the country and they are very pleased and interested in the FBI increasing the accommodations at the Academy and he-told them that he thought the answer to a great deal of the problems facing them todaywould be in the training they received. He said he was most enthused when Mr. Sloan showed him the plans for the new building. I stated that I thought it would be a very fine setup. I told Justice Clark that at present we were graduating approximately 90 men in each National Academy . ._~ . _', - 92 -. ._. class, but that when we get the new accommodations we will be able to handle . w_._- . approximately 1, 200 men a year. I stated that when the new building was ;<¢'l:-.92 i:92,9292II::completed all training would be done at Quantico. .<::$:-: ' I commented to Justice Clark that what was really needed in law .. . ,__9292"92 enforcement was more procient training of officers.

Justice Clark advised me that he had recently spoken at the Bohemian Grove and talked on law enforcement. He said he had repeatedmy feelings on the limitations placed on law enforcement as a result of the new rulings. He said that hehas receivedover 200 letters frompeople whowere complainingabout , the new rulings and also about Justice Douglas and his recent marriage. Justice Clark said that he has told all of them that the fact that the Bureau is increasing the facilities for training will be a big help to law enforcement.

"F: '15. ' I advised Justice Clark that the Bureau'straining new school would Y v.._._._ '-. . - . . ~ be the West Point of law enforcement. I commented that the building would not |_-_-'5- ._.. .__ be ready until next year.

Justice Clark stated that there was no questionabout it -- 1!! .'.I,"l' .__ _;_ that the Bureau hadthe top staff. I stated that we have beentrying to keep it '::r_'fI that way. I mentioned that we had a waiting list of men interested in becoming I agents, but that we were having trouble hiring Negro Agents. I stated that the average Negro when he gets his degree can make more money practicing law 5K than he .¢8.n.get bycoming into the FBL I stated that I had contacted Judgesand District Attorneys throughout thecountry andthey couldnot recommendanyone. _ I stated that in addition tobeing ableto makemore moneypracticing law, the 92 Negro was fearful of getting into law enforcement work. 'Justice Clark inquired how the Negro Agents on our staff were working out and I advised him that some that we have at present are very fine and haddone anexcellent job. I also commented about the number of Negro clerks working at the Bureau and how this had worked out so well; that we had encounteredno problems and that we . had more Negro employees in the Bureau than the Department hadin any of their other Divisions. I mentioned that we have for sometime beentaking men into the National Academy from Europe, Africa, and Asia; that they got along fine with everyone and that it showed that it could be done if everyone was willing to go halfway. orncna mnncron Dor E j .-1?",yr": "4, UNITEDSTATES01-" DEPARTMENT JUSTICE-_ J ,e o.' {J FEDERAL BUREAUOF INVESTIGATION Z H :~-,

The Honorable oseph A. Califano, Jr. , Special Assistant to the President on Legislation and Economic Matters, called me at the President's requestand asked that I send over to the White House a memorandum on my personal opinion on the D. C. Crime Bill. I immediately told Mr. Califano that I thought the Bill should be signed by the President. I stated that it was my opinion that it was the first attempt Congress had made to plug the holes in the enforcement of law. I stated that any veto would reflect unfavorably politically against the President. I mentioned that I thought there might be one or two sections that might be considered unconstitutional. Mr. Califano asked if I could put something down about these sections.

I told Mr. Califano that the section I had in mind was the one regarding interrogation where a person could be questioned for a period of four hours and after that time must be arrested. I said that in my mind l there might be some question as to the period a man could be interrogated; that during this time leads could be checked, et cetera. I explained that l this particular section might be declared unconstitutional; that I was not too certain about it. I stated that the part that mentions that a man have an l attorney is very important.

I told Mr. Califano that there were some very good parts in the Crime Bill. I mentioned that this evening the Washington Star had an excellent editorial in which it is stated that it would be most unfortunate if the Bill was w I s e I

make the D. C. a model city in the country, and the fact that crime is increasing rather than decreasing, I felt the Bill should not be vetoed. I advisedMr. Califanothat I thought actionby thePresident insigning the Bill would have afavorable reactionall over the country. I statedthat when the President signed the Bill he could make some statement that while there have beenquestions raised, the constitutionality of the Bill was a matter for the Court to decide.

I told Mr. Caliiano that as Iar as some ofthese organizations K being againstthe Bill, that I would be in favor of it because of them. I stated that theeyes ofthe countrywere 0nthis particularBill andthat anyveto by the President would react unfavorably on him.

Mr. Califano said that he would pass my views on to the President and if he needed anything more would be in touch with me.

Mr. Weaver stated he would like sometime to sit down and talk about some of the problems they have; that they have a new program they are initiating and, mainly, the problem is of leadership and the President felt, and he agreed with him, that the FBI would be a source where they might do some so- called "raiding, " which he was sure I did not like to have done and I agreed. Mr. Weaver wondered how this could best be set up.

I told him I would be happy, if he would designate someone in his office, to have the Assistant Director in charge of our inspection service confer with that person and see the type of man he had in mind to fill the position and see if we can make any suggestions or recommendations. Mr. Weaver agreed and advised that his man would be Assistant Secretary Dwight Ink and I told ' him my man would be Assistant Director Felt. Mr. Weaver indicated that Mr. Ink will not be in the city until Monday, and I told him I would have Mr. Felt contact Mr. Inks office on Monday. Mr. Weaver stated he would advise Mr. Ink to expect the call.

3:25 PM

. ~' I called Assistant Director Felt and advised him of the above call and that I had arranged for him to see Mr. Ink and suggested to Mr. Felt that he call Mr. 1nk'soffice on Monday so as to set a time convenient to them both. . ¢

Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, Mohr, Felt January 6, 1967

I told Mr. Felt that what he ought to do is nd out exactly what the problem is and the type of man they have in mind to do the job. I told Mr. Felt that the President is very much concerned about the fact that there is a great deal of money which will be spent by these people and there is no system yet as to checking the worthiness of it and whether it is being done properly. I told him the President has in mind something like General Joseph Carroll did -in the Air Force and like we do here for our own operations.- I told Mr. Felt to arrange to see Mr. Ink and in the meantime I thought he ought to confer-here at the Bureau with the various officials so as to start preparing a List of names we might be able to suggest. I told him that I would not mention any names at the conference Monday as I want to go over them very carefully first. I told Mr. Felt I did not want to give them any key man in the Bureau or even any present member, but if we know somebody such as an ex-Agent or some graduate of the National Academy who might be qualified, to list them so that they might be considered. Mr. Felt stated he would get that up so we will have it but that he will make no commitment at the conference. '

Johnson is awfully concerned aboutthe consular convention. I told the Attorney General that Marvin Watson told me about it yesterday. Mr. Clark said he says that this morning some of his advisors and someof theSenators onthe Hill think the treaty is bad and theway he wasplanning it, he hadcoming behindit the space treaty,the nonproliferation treaty, and anti missile missile treaty, and it is just his judgement and his concern andresponsibility that it is terribly important, and hefeels, and these people say and he, Clark, has no way of evaluating it, that my letter to Senator Karl Mundt has been quite a factor in the situation. I asked him if he had read my letter and he stated he had.

I told Mr. Clark that I emphasized and repeatedjust what I had said to the Secretary of State, time y, I have not at indicated oval of the tr

my position ways been, and it was my position two years before the Appropriations Committee, the same as I said to the Secretary of State in response to his letter and the letter I wrote Senator Fulbrightwhen heasked that I appear beforehis Committee;that I said I thought it was not necessary as the correspondenceis self- explanatory. I stated that when SenatorMundt wrote me a letter, he set a close time and asked 92 certain specific questions which I answer ed and this was identical to the testimony w I gave before the Appropriations Committee and in the previous letter to the Secretary of State and I again reiterated that I had never approved nor disapproved asthat wasnot myprerogative; so I was at a loss to understand howthere can be so much credence placed on the correspondence when I have refrained from expressing any opinion as I have no right to express any opmi° on ., p ersonal or official, as that is a function for the President, the Secretary of State, and the members of the Senate.

to me that point is pretty well established and settled by the letters to Senators Fulbright and Karl Mundt and, therefore, it is proper that Clark as Acting Attorney General in a legislative matter in which we have no direct interest -ta . , .'. -.-q-v or function to perform properly has good gIOl1Ild to take the position he has n92ol-0 ...- suggested.

I told the Acting Attorney General that for his own information, I thought what has happened is that Secretary Dean Rusk has been hammering away at the President on the fact that this thing will result in the inability to get any of the subsequent treaties they have on the shelf to be passed. I stated that Senator Everett Dirksen this morning made a statement to the press that while he could not vote for the consular treaty because of the immunity extended to all members of the consulate, he could rote 'i1t=iavorseveral of of the other treaties and named them that the President has in mind, so the whole program is not lost. I also told the ctingA Att orney G alener that I had been told the following ver confidentiall but at a party at the State Department v last week,Katzenbach a.nd some correspondentsA Q asked him about the consular treaty and in a braggadocio manner said that as the former Attorney General, he could assure them he would deliver J.

keeps rubbing it in to the President that the whole thing is lost, whereas Senator Dirksen, minority leader, has clearly indicated that he is in favor toof some bestymied of these this treaties if one andislost. I it does stated not meanthought thatI the other Katgenbach treatiesis egging are Ruskgoing on in this and Katzenbach is no doubt embarrassed by ement he made that he could deliver me.

The Acting Attorney General stated that statement illustrates one problem, that neither I nor the Acting Attorney General nor the American public would tolerate his preventing me from saying what I thought was important about the national security. The Acting Attorney General stated that if he answers Senator Fulbright'sletter by himself, an essential and necessary ingredient would be to state that he has discussed and reviewed it with me and that I agree. I stated I was perfectly willing for that.

The Acting Attorney General suggested that he draft a letter and ww .- get it over to me and after I have read it to let him know it all right of ii we should get together. 1

I stated the three Senators were pleasant about the matter and thoroughly understoodand whilethey didnot indicatethey wouldchange views on thetreaty, SenatorDirksen againrepeated thatthere areother treatiescoming upti that have some merit and his only objection to the consular treaty is the fact of immunityand hisobjection isnot predicatedon espionage,but onimmunity which extends to all members of the consulate establishment. I stated he feels that is too broad, but it is a matter for the State Department and President to -I decide whetherthey want any restriction on that, but of course, any restriction in this country would be imposed on our people in Russia, and I don'tknow what thegeneral practiceis as to consulatesof other nations inthis country; whether everybody has immunity or only the Consul General and his top as'sistant, but it is a matter for the State Department to figure out. I stated that is the only objection Senator Dirksen cited and that seems to be a matter that could be met.

The Acting Attorney Genera] stated that was great about the three Senators; that it was very good. I stated they have a good taste in their mouths -1 92a anyway. Mr. Clark stated he hoped he could get the letter out today and said !9 he would let me know what they do.

was "notincapable oi handling; " that it was notanything we were incapable of handling. Hethen said,"while addingany numberof potentialespionage agents makesa commensurate increase in the work oi the FBI, it is fully capable of handling theproposed increase." I stated I thoughtthat wasall right. He wantedto make sure it was a good sentence. He said wecould say"the Bureau .:|§92-"-'--is fully capable" as he thought that would be better and I told him that was all _'._'92~'1Aright. He then notedthe word "increase" wasused twiceand I suggested =._- .3:-_ N "the Bureauis fully capableoi handling such additionalwork, " and he fl : indicated that was all right and I said then pick up "the contemplated number ' =- oi Soviet oicials would not place an undue bin-den on the FBI. These are w m92 the burdens the FBI is certainly capable of handling. " I said we don't need 92 the last sentence, but it is all right if he so desired. - He stated we have that idea in twice.

'~92 s He then asked ii there was anything else and I told him these were K the only changes Iwould suggest. He askedii I felt this were better than my testifying or writing a letter and I told him I did. I stated they have contacted him and I thought it was his place to send the letterand in the beginning it says we have conferred and agreed;that then he points out the various issues on the second page and on the third page he offers that iie'.<.-;- or I or both are willing to confer iniormally with the members of the committee or the stati. Mr. Clark stated he always feels that should be done,but he hoped it was not an invitation and asked me how I felt about it.

I stated that, oi course, he leaves the door open. I said I would like to suggest, but not tell the State Department, that I am perfectly willing to contact some of those members oi the committee such as Mundt, Dirksen, and Hickenlooper and indicate they should ease o on this; that they will have the letter from the Acting Attorney General again reiterating the same thing they have already in the correspondence and not to press it. I stated I can do that to Dirksen and to Hickenlooper and Mimdt. Mr. Clark said that would fvflf. be a great help and I stated I would not want Rusk or Katzenbach to know about it because they would probably pass it around the State Department and then it would get into the papers and ii it got back to the Senators, it would be bad. '.-'I stated I would do it on my own responsibility and Mr. Clark said that as tar .;__ as he is concerned, he knows of it and he thinks it is the thing to do.

I stated I thought Senator Mundt seemed satisfied with the letter

Hickenlooper and Dirksen. Mr. Clark stated he thought it would be of great -».... help. I stated I would do that then.

K Mr. Clark stated he thought, too, in view of what I said, it would be wise to drop the last sentence and I told him I thought it would. I stated knowing Fulbright as I do, he has a lot of ham in him and Dirksen has a little too, and they would like to march down here and even though informal, anything said would be spilled to the press right away by Fulbright and maybe some 92I of the other members, too. I stated Senator Dirksen did not get into the _ discussion the other day with Rusk and Katzenbach, as it was Mundt and ' .. ?.. Hickenlooper. I said as it is now, it is almost partisan between the Republicans ,. and the Democrats and they have to have a two-thirds vote to pass the treaty. I stated that while the last paragraph can be left out, we have not declined if --u'..~4.-. they insist. Mr. Clark asked about the rst sentence of that paragraph, "If *1 t-: I can be of further assistance, please advise me. " I stated I thought that was all right. Mr. Clark said the second sentence opens the door. I stated some member might say it would be helpful to have Hoover and the Attorney General come up and confer. I stated the part about being of further assistance is sort of a closing for letters as it does not commit you to anything.

Mr. Clark stated this was very good and he would see if he could get approval for this letter with the three changes, namely the second sentence on page 2 and the last sentence. He stated that if he gets the go ahead, he will send it and send me a copy and if the decision is the other way, he will get back in touch with me if there are any substantial changes. I told him I would be available. -

He said he wanted to ask me one question; that he has seen three92. or four performances by the groups "Sing Out" and "Up With People, "which are very patriotic and very inspiring performances. He said it turns out they are sponsored by an organization called Moral Rearmament. He continued that everybody who has seen performances by these groups has been inspired and is keen on them, but a number have questions about Moral Rearmament. The General stated he knew nothing about this and a friend had called him and advised that a couple thousand of these young people were coming to his state and he wanted to know about Moral Rearmament. General Eisenhower said he is so puzzled about this as, for example, this month there are going to be performances by about 300 of these young people in Constitution Hall for about a week and he even wrote and suggested the President ought to have them over to the White House. I commented that it sounded like a good idea. General Eisenhower said they are tops and what he wanted to know is, is there anything against them.

I told the General that off hand, I would say that I know nothing against them but I would like to check our files. The General asked if I would do that and drop him a note. I told him I would write him today.

Mr. DeLoach has been instructed to have a memorandum prepared today regarding Moral Rearmament together with a letter to General Eisenhower.

He stated one man he talked with wasa member of the National Councilon Crime and Delinquencyand, as a matter of fact, he thoughtthis man had somegood ideasso he wanted to put in his article that here is one group trained to do something in this field. He said that now one of the staff heard indirectly where this outfit at one time had a lot of leftists and communists in it. General Eisenhower said Carl Loeb is the manhe talkedto, who is Vice Chairman, andLoeb certainlyis a dedicated American and for law and order. The General wondered if I knew anything about the organization.

I told him it used to have a different name as it had the name of something about paroleand probationbefore thename waschanged. I said at that time there were in the organization and may still be a number of these so-called"bleeding hearts," as I call them, in regard to penologyand law enforcementwho believedparole shouldbe extendedto everyone. I stated I had several ar;_ume.1tswith them as to that becauseI believe in parole and. probation but I do not like to see the abuses. I said I had never heard then " or know now of any svhversives or communists in that group and there are some very good people in it and I thought you are bound to find a difference of opinion on the subject. The General asked ifSig Larmon were Chairman and I told him I did not know. He said he knew Carl Loeb was the Vice Chairman. I told him I knew nothingthat would support the contention that there are communist or subversive elements in it and it could possibly be an extreme statement made by someone who has different views.

{I 1 Mr. DeLoach told him some of the lectures were good and some poor; that --I00 most of the fellows left with the feeling they were not part of a team and .....»92 -us-- were disgruntled, uneasy, because the Department looked down on them u. ~. 92|||,-92.-- and did not give them answers to their questions and keep them advised.

' I told the President that my word from there this morning is that the business oices are open, General Motors is open as are all the automobile factories and people are getting back to work. The President said that he had told Vance they ought to tell them to do that as it might take their minds off it.

I told the President that at Cambridge, Maryland, the Governor of Maryland has ordered the arrest of this man H. Rap Brown for inciting to riot there. I stated they had burned two squares of the Negro community there. I stated I thought that is significant, both at Detroit and Cambridge, that it is the Negro homes which have been burned and destroyed, so it is not limited solely to white merchants and white homes.

The President said he thought I, personally, ought to look at the record and get some of my men that I can rely on, on the Hill; that Senator Everett Dirksen has made a statement on the Subversive Activities Control Board. 'IhePresident said there is a campaign going as they jumped on Simon McHugh because they thought that was one way to get at him, the President. He said McHugh is a good Catholic boy, not a Republican or Democrat, and did not ask for the position, that he appointed him because he knew him and he is not a le£t- winger and he thought he would be all right, but they askedthe Committeeto study it before theymade their appropriation and Dirksen and Senator Mansfield told him they talked to Senator McClellan and he is strong for it. I commentedthat Mahon is drafting legislation to continue the Board. The President said that some of my boys ought to tell McClellan- and Dirksen to go on with this and if Ramsey Clark! would make up his mind.

I told the President we were sending over to him today a memorandum on theSACB; thatthere are four organizations,if the Department didsomething, that could be presentedto the Board and they are good cases. The President said theysay theydon't any have evidence, but for me totell them and to tell Mr. DeLoach to tell Senators Dirksen and McClellan to do it and he and I stay together andhave a group in thereand whenthis manresigns toget agood man put onand givethem somethingto do.

MR DE Miss Holmes? Miss Gandy___ MR. SULLIVAN _ Last evening I was called to the White Houseby the President to participate in a conference dealing with the riots in Detroit. Present at the conferencein addition to the President were the Secretary of Defense Robert taut:-.

The President has an arrangement wi 2 '_l'I"" <-.~;~'--- his office for conference calls, and about every half hour Mr. Cyrus Vance, whomthe President had sent to Detroit as a personal representative, -called 92 to give a status report. At timesGeneral John L. Throckmorton, the Commander 92 v ~ H " of the Federal troops in the Detroit area, also joined in these conferences. '-~'-g. . ~ - - v, . -- Y '.92.'.'.-_ At first it was the belief of Mr. Vance that the situation in Detroit 92'-'v'~.*92 I : could be controlled by the Michigan National Guard, the State Police, and the ~ .'.v'_ Detroit police. Governor George Romney and Mayor Jerome P. Cavanaghof, Detroit were not of this opinion, but were insistent that the Federal troops be ~ brought in to bring control over the riots. As time went on and this conference 4 ' at the White House lasted over four hours, the situation grew progressively worse 4 and finally Mr. Vance advised that the situation was out of control in Detroit with manyfires, shooting, looting, and general disorder, and he believed that the Federal troops should be ordered in to take control. After some additional discussion, the President then signed the necessary proclamations and authorized the Secretary of Defense to federalize the National Guard in Michigan if he deemed it necessary. The President was quite concerned about the matter of any shooting in Detroit, and General Throckmorton at Detroit assured him that while ammunition would be issued to the Federal troops, they would not load 71 their guns and engage in any shooting except upon the specific order of an officer in command.

The President saidhe thoughtI ought to call his briefing officer and say tohim to see UPI#35. The Presidentproceeded to readthe tickeras follows: "Former PresidentEisenhower suggestedtoday there is a pattern to current city riots. He suggestedthat Congressempower the FBI to move into the situation. The General, meeting with reporters in his office on the Gettysburg College Campus, said he had been told while in 0» Washington severaldays agothat there is no law in the books by which the FBI can use its investigative forces in the present situation. When there is good reason on the part of the Government to believe that there is some national organization that is bringing about this trouble, the FBI should be . allowed anddirected to make an investigation and report, " et cetera.

Assistantto the Director CarthaD. DeLoachcalled. w.Y" He stated the UPI this afternoon has a terribly distorted and garbled release concerning H. Rap Brown; that it indicates the Federal warrant was defective and quotesthe attorney, William M. Kunstler, to that effect and that, therefore, Brown was dismissed. Mr. DeLoach said this is not correct; that what happenedis the Department had the Judge dismiss the Federal process so that he can be turned over to the local authorities; the Federal Judge ' decided notto hold a Federal-type arraignment, but to turn him over immediately to Virginia authorities who are going to bring him before a local Judge after which he will be turned over to the Maryland authorities. Mr. DeLoach said Brown is still in custody. I stated the ticker I saw said the Federal warrant was defective. Mr. DeLoach said that is correct as it did say that, but it is not right and it quoted Kunstler as saying that. Mr. DeLoach said there is nothing wrong with the warrant and it is the usual Unlaavful Flightto Avoid Prosecution typeprocess whichis usually dismissed after the man is located.

DeLoach called. He stated __:_;;.,...___ he had discussed this matter with Mr. Tolson, but he wanted to bring it to my attention.He statedthat asI would recall, yesterdayhe had an argument in connectionwith theHoffa case,which is to be heardin Chicagoby Judge/ Austin phonetic!.Mr. DeLoachtold themat thattime thatwe wouldnot ' /24> entertain their desires concerning this matter unless they put it in writing. Mr. DeLoach said that a five- page memorandum has now come through and instead of indicating it was their desire to present the four items with respect to relevancy, they now point out the court requests an FBI witness be available to testify to the fact there were no further electronic trespasses other than those already shown to the court. Mr. DeLoach said they propose, in view of the fact the Department claims it is the court making the request, ' to send over an affidavit by Special Agent Wayne A. Frankenfeld, who is in the General Investigative Division, merely certifying to what we have given to the Department in the two previous memoranda which I sent to Vinson and the Attorney General. Mr. DeLoach said we will follow those memoranda verbatim in the form of an affidavit.

Mr. DeLoach continued that with respect to the testimony of the Agents, he did not think we should send anybody from the Seat of Government out there as we have always opposed that. Mr. DeLoach said we do have out there or in their respective offices, about eight Agents who heard or monitored the conversations in the Hoffa case and who reviewed the logs. Mr. DeLoach said that when we set up the electronic indices, I had issued instructions that ' , when we receive such requests from the Department, we also make a double check with our field offices. Mr. DeLoach said that is what we did in this instance and turned up the Agents who overheard the conversations in question. Mr. DeLoach said the Agents already called by the Department to testify will be available and will be the ones to testify to certify to the court there were no further electronic trespasses. I asked Mr. DeLoach what they wanted our - representative in Washington to testify to and Mr. DeLoach said to the whole kit and kaboodle; that the FBI Headquarters certifies there are no further electronic trespasses. Mr. DeLoach said this man in Washington is not cognizant of what has gone on in the field. I asked if they could not argue that the man in the field is not cognizant of what went on in Washington.

said thatwas true, but thefield is the foundationof the whole thing. I asked if the man whois to testify is an Agent of the Chicago Office,and Mr. DeLoach "said some are, some are from Florida and other locations. I told Mr. DeLoach that the thing that runs throng h my mm' d is that they would take the position that the person out there is not able to testify as he is not conversant with the overall picture of the indices here. Mr. DeLoach said theAgents thererepresent the offices where o nl y these conversations were overheard and there are no further conversations. I asked if we certify to that in our affidavit and Mr. DeLoach said yes. I said if we certify to that effect in' the affidavit,' we are all rig ht.

investigating the riots yesterday and had given all the information available to the FBI in connection with this matter and he felt that was sifficient. Watson said theyknew prettymuch all of that but theywanted theFBI to get outand - investigate. Mr. DeLoach toldhim he would havea duplicateinvestigation, and Watson said the President puts his faith in the FBI. I commented that the . luau .. v92-|u-.-- trouble is the President askstwo, three, or four people todo thesame thing. .. -..-...»- .-, . Mr. DeLoach said he would like to suggest a letter be prepared to Mrs. Mildred v.;_.- calls... Stegall at the White House that we have checked with all the offices and the 92x only informationavailable isthat whichI gave yesterday andrelate exactly 92. what I said. I told Mr. DeLoach to quote that portion of the statement I gave 0 yesterdaythat dealt with this OEO and thesevarious organizationsunder them, 92 which I think is about six, and that is all we have. Mr. DeLoach said this w be done.

I took occasion to mention to Mr. DeLoach that I noticed that the '- teletypes this morning about the riots indicate we are furnishing the information Q L to the Criminal Division and the Attorney General, but there is no indication it is being furnished to the White House. Mr. DeLoach stated that this is being done. I told him they ought to put that on the slip because I have to put it on each time. Mr. DeLoach stated the White House has indicated they do not desire more or less minor information, that they want the major information. I commented that those this morning were major, such as the shooting in Providence, Rhode Island, the situation at Detroit with the passing out of pamphlets, and in Roxbury with the passing out of pamphlets saying to burn down the town and get guns. I stated that is more violent than some minor thing like disorderly conduct. I said we ought to resolve it in favor of giving it to the White House and if they don'twant to use it after they get it, it is their responsibility, but if we don't giveit to them, they can then say we should have. Mr. DeLoach said we will do it that way and indicate the dissemination.

TOLSON // Mi; Mi s G*"Il/1lIulmes___.. iiitiii V Mr. DeLoach called and advised that Senator Eastland had advised J Eastland, that the Senate Ted Kennedy, Judiciary and Committee Philip Hart yesterday would get voted a together Subcommittee and decide of who --I Q;' 92 would be called to testify before the crime hearings. Later they met last night in Eastland's office; had an argument as to who would be called; finally reached a unanimous agreement to call John McCone as scheduled, people from Detroit, and a number of other individuals, but would not call V! either the Attorney General or me.

Eastland told Mr. DeLoach that after the meeting, Ted Kennedy met three reporters and made an announcement that they had voted unanimously to call me. Eastland said this is a lie and even Senator Hart was angry and " shocked at the way Ted Kennedy behaved; that they would not call me under jg any circumstances. I said this shows what an irresponsible person: Ted Kennedy is. - Mr. DeLoach further advised that he has all the testimony and he has a firm agreement - i.nformallyhat he can keep this *1 over here in his office until we get through with it and can make any changes I we want. I asked how it looked and if the stenotypist got all of it. Mr. DeLoach , said she was not a good girl and missed a lot of it. I instructed him to go over W .*'i. it very carefully and let me see it. Mr. DeLoach advised that it will probably _ 4 J be Monday before they get through with it. I said this is all right.

The Governor hadasked foran appointmentto see me andwe discussedgenerally the situation in the field of the riots occurring inthe country,particularly in Detroit. The Governoris making a tour of the country and hopes to visit cities in which riots have occurred so as to get theadvice ofthe local authorities as to handling themand as to steps that might be taken to avoid or at least to minimize such outbreaks in the future.

I assuredGovernor Romney that hewould certainlyhave thefull cooperation ofthe Bureauin any mutualmatters in the State ofMichigan where we could be oi assistance.

The Congressman stated that would be fine and he would then contact my office, and let me know the exact date. I told him to let me know the date and if it is satisfactory, I will be glad to designate a man. The Congressman stated they appreciated it. '

I want to make it emphatically clear that I do not want any extremeacts ofviolence portrayedon ourTV program. I havestated thispreviously butapparently isit notbeing given the attentionthat itshould. Thereis a nationwidefeeling thatTV presents entirelytoo much violence andvarious groupsand organizations havepublicly statedthe sameand testimonyhas been givenbefore Congressionalcommittees tothat effect.

As I have previously indicated, all new clerical employees are to be assigned to the Identification Division and not to any other Division at the Seat of Government. Field offices which may need additional employees must recruit them at the local level. I, of Icourse, desire that the quota of recruitment for clerical employees at the Seat of Government be maintained by the field offices.

The Attorney General said he had not and they were in his safe. The Attorney General continued thathe also understood, although he was not sure and it seemed to him that he had heard this, that the Bureau sent one to the Criminal Division -- a copy of those affidavits -- which disturbed him. I told him it disturbed me also as I did not know this had been done, but I would check because I was fearful of this thing lealdng out and it has. The Attorney General said he would also point out that he heard on the radio this morning and has seen _:a news ticker that this same information was coming out of Cleveland. I said it is out of Cleveland written by a -M. Washington Post staff writer who procured the information from Washington. .~-..

I said they have pretty good pipelines, or did so previously, and I will not allow anybody from the Post to interview any of our people or allow any of our people to answer phone calls because it is one of the dirtiest of operations in all branches, not only society, but at the reporting level and editorially. The Attorney General said that was certainly well established. I said even when Drew Pearson was living, I put the ban on his being allowed to interview anybody or to call anybody and I have put the same ban on Jack Anderson, who has the same stripes down the middle of his back as Pearson. The Attorney General said he agreed with that observation. I said a Post representative told the United States Attorney in Cleveland that he had all this stuff, but it won't it: .-iharm the case becausehe have served all the subpoenason persons to appear before the which will 1y continue' through today and maybe tomorrow, but, was subpoenaedto appear and at the same time he c an e

Commissioner Pomerleau said he intends to make copies of the injunction that was granted yesterday and send it around to the major cities police administrators with the hope that they will take note on a national basis. I told him I thought that was desirable and if there is any assistance our Baltimore Office can render or any of our other offices, let us know. The Commissioner said he would do that, but we have been most cooperative and, of course, the initial lead to the arrests came from our office and SAC EdwinR. Tully brought it over to him and it was a cooperative effort between the two agencies, which he felt was most outstanding. I told him I am happy we have had such a cooperative relationship with him and his organization and I thought this action in Baltimore will be very material, particularly in view of the conditions in New Haven and I thought other cities will realize theyhave totake actionand -take it promptly and vigorously to ».

I cited the case of Ohio State University where 32 policemen were injured and if they had taken the proper action in advance, it could have been stopped, but the University authorities would-not allow it, but I wanted to commend him personally for the fine action he took and any assistance we can give him is at his command.

MEMORANDUMMR. TOLSON FOR 92/ "-. i1"vI'fl MR. DELOACH | >.{;;.1.1 T W. ROSEN Miss Gand-y....._ MR. BISHOP SULLIVAN 1.-1;. V

While talldng to Honorable Egil Krogh, Jr. , Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs, when he called on another matter, he asked me how I felt last weekend went here in Washington. I told him it was my feeling that the press played it down as did the city authorities; that there were acts of violence that occurred. I said it was no peaceful demonstration as the Mayor and Chief of Police Wilson say, but I think all in all it was as good as can be expected, but theybombed the National Guard building and broke windows, smeared red paint on the front door of the Department of Justice, broke windows in stores on Connecticut Avenue and the People'sDrug Store near Dupont Circle, and none of that is emphasized. Mr. Krogh said Honorable John D. Ehrlichman, "Assistant l tobe thepossible President forthe Domesticfor Bureauto Affairs, takea look hadat asked thebombing this morningthe if it Nationalof would Guard Building. I said we were already on that as we moved on it right away.

I said there were some bad actors here on Saturday and this morning the hippies in Georgetown, which is one of the worst places, were blocking Key Bridge and blocking traffic into the District. Mr. Krogh asked if the police cleared them out and I said the police after some delay cleared them out. I said they had done that at Ward Circle for three days in a row last week and the police used tear gas. I said I thought the police, the rank and le, did a grand job, but I am not at all satisfied with the higher level. I said I think there should be restraint in what we do, but there comes a time when you have to call a halt and there was $5, 000 damage in Washington and nothing said about it. Mr. Krogh said he thought you ought to call a spade a spade. I said like the November demonstration, they called that peaceful and it was not; they attacked this building and they had to use gas; they broke windows on Connecticut Avenue in some of the finest stores and looted and they did the same this weekend. Mr. Krogh asked ifthey broke windows at Justice Saturday and I said they did and smeared red paint on the entrance

and all of that has to be sandblasted toget the paint off, as they did last November, but the papers don't this.print Mr. Krogh said the papers in this town and the New York Times are not going to say anything like that. I said I won'tread the New York Times and the WashingtonPost and whenever theythrow brickbatsat the FBI I'mhappy andif they ever praised us I would call a meeting of the top executives to see what was the reason. Mr. Krogh laughed andsaid he had heard that there, too.

I said there is a very serious situation in New York City this morning as students from the New York University campus have moved into Wall Streetto close the stock exchange butthe construction guys are coming out again and I was glad they did what they did last weekend as they really chased themup Broadway. Mr. Krogh said Mayor Lindsey better watch his step or he will lose the whole town andnot only the Police Department. I said the rank and file are fine, but Superintendent Leary is doing what Lindsey wants him to do. I said I heard the headof the police union onS1skinds program and he was strong in his denunciation ofthe restraints on them and releasing the people onrecognizance. I said they made 300arrests Saturday but they will probably be turned loose. Mr. Krogh said so many times you can'tnd the arresting officer afterwards. I agreed and said or the court would let them go on recognizance or even not on recognizance.

Congressman Mahon stated they thought well of him, Kunkle, and without these people, they would have much less confidence in what they do up there. I told him not to hesitate to call upon us.

The Congressman mentioned that he was talking to some Mayors as he is on Mr. Evans subcommittee, including the Mayor from Cleveland, all wanting more money and the Mayor of Cleveland said ii they did not get these programs, there is no doubt they will have violence in Cleveland this summer. The Congressman said he hoped the Mayor would take that off the record as statements like that are very provocative. I commented that it merely puts it in the minds of people with violent ideas to go out and do it and it is unwise for responsible officials, Federal, state or local, to make such statements.

I continued that we are also checking asto who was with Sirhan Sirhan atthe rie range whenhe was practicing with therevolver as well as persons with him when he bought the ammunition. I stated in these instances they were men.

I stated that in Ray's case,we have not found a single angle that would indicatea conspiracy. I said the onlysignificant thingis the money he hadand whichhe spentfreely in paying bills andI thought that couldhave been obtainedfrom a bank robbery. The Attorney General said that it we could showhe robbed the bank at Alton, it would be helpful. l said we are working on that becausehe was paying his bills with $50 bills up to his arrest. I said on the other hand he stayed at flop houses andnever stayed at a first- class hotelbut at the sametime he spent, Ithought, $1200 ormore in buying guns andthe car, which Ithought was $1500,and thenhe tookdancing lessons, bartender lessons,and lessonsin pickinglocks, andthat is whyI think security is so exceedingly importantnot onlyin Englandbut onthe wayback tothis country and when he gets here.

I said I could not see any legal cliiculty as the method of gettinghim back does notmake much difference as to the legality oi the thing or the image of it.

said he is a slippery, sni end man ioual and he lS most contemptuous nzanner and action with the prison authorities over there. I said another thing about the British is that they are not tight on security as they do not search a person unless he is convicted andthey do not search anybody visiting someone injail, but that is the old British procedure.

Generalthis commented wouldhee a id $t/ The AttorneyGeneral askedhow wethought Raygot thethree names he used.I saidthis againshows hisastuteness allas three are living people residing in Canada whonever knew him and never heard of him. I said on the otherhand, Ray spent last year, when he was wandering aroundthe country, a great portion ofthe timein Canadaand Ithought hewas planningthis thing and seekinga double identity LikeSneyd, Galt,and Bridgemanand checking out thosenames soif there were any check made on his application for abirth certicate, they could ascertain such a person existed. I said this shows his shrewdness.I said I think we are dealingwith aman who isnot anordinary criminal inthe usualsense, buta mancapable ofdoing anykind ofa sly act. The AttorneyGeneral saidhe wasexceptionally clever.

I said Sirhan Sirhan is a different individual as he is a fanatic and killed Robert Kennedy becausehe spoke in favor of Israel and this fellow being anArab becameintensely bitter against Kennedyand felt he shouldbe killed, which he did, but he is a fanatic and Ray is not a fanatic in that sense. i I said I think Ray isa racist and detestedNegroes andMartin LutherKing and thereis indication that prior to the Memphis situation,he hadinformation about Kingspeaking inother townsand thenpicked outMemphis. I said I think heacted entirelyalone, butwe arenot closingour mindsthat others - might be associated withhim andwe haveto run downevery lead.

I said we are getting more crank letters and letters about other people whoare goingto be killed who are in high office, such asSenator Edward Kennedy,et cetera.

is a problem for the psychiatrists but they are apparently doing little to cure , _ them, but they are mentally unbalanced. The Attorney General said it is a ' ' public safety problem now. I said I do not favor the view that the conmtry is depraved and all that. I said I think we have a great block of ne people ..: ,-'1 .- in this cotmtry; that there may be some depraved citizens, it -is not a ~ -' depraved society. The Attorney General said he thought there was too much emphasis today in the press that society is sick; that it is the fashionable thing to do.

921 . I said I hoped the new Commission the President has appointed will keep a balanced viewpoint as to that because the other Commission went far astray in regard to white racism. I said there is racism but not as predominantly as the Kerner Commission found it to be. The Attorney General said he had never found it so. I said as an example take the meeting yesterday SolidarityDay!; that more than 50% oi those who attended were white and it was not predominantly Negro. The Attorney General said that was surprising to him and he felt better to see it that way. I said this shows that white racism is not as predominant as we have been led to believe. I said I hope the Eisenhower Commission when they get around to their findings view it with an unemotional attitude. The Attorney General said there are some good people on the Commission. I said it seems it should be done without emotionalism or crying fire. I said I get annoyed with the editorials about our sick society as I do not believe there is such a thing .in this country although there are some sick citizens. The Attorney General said that if I could make this point in the Law Enforcement Bulletin on the Director's page, he thought it would be helpful. I said I have been worlaing on that just recently; that the idea was given to me by McGil1 of the Atlanta _ Constitution. I said he had a tine editorial about the attacks on the FBI at because we had not found the King murderer after two months and the cracks that we were not trying to find him and th'en he quoted several verses oi the 92 Bible which portrayed Christ as not interested in the poor, but it showed _92_ again that there is always an eort to tear down and destroy. I commented ~ t I thought there was a tendency to Paizriots in history. I=sai.d' ' ~ it was that sort of thing that I thought drove President Johnson from running for a second term and the Attorney General agreed.

Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, DeLoach, Rosen July 12, 1968

I indicated to the Attorney General that if the Air Force was going. to send a plane from the United States to Great Britain to bring Ray back, the representatives oi the Bureau who were to conduct Ray from Great Britain to the United States should be allowed to go over to Great Britain on the same plane that will be used for that purpose. The Attorney General indicated agreement with this suggestion.

At the time the Attorney General talked with me, I had not been advised of the details worked out by Mr. Rosen and Mr. Minnich with Assistant Attorney General Fred Vinson, but subsequent tothe Attorney General's conferencewith me, a memorandum was received from Mr. Vinson setting forth the details which Mr. Vinson has worked out aiter consultation with Mr. Rosen and Mr. Minnich and I have sent this memorandum through with the indication that since representatives of the Bureau have already committed the Bureau to certain phases of the transportation of Ray, I was, consequently, bound by them; while I had not known of these commitments in advance and certainly would have made certain changes in them, I, nevertheless,would be bound by the commitments.

I think that in the future, it would be a great deal better for representatives of this Bureau conferring with Departmental representatives to make no commitments of an important character without rst submitting such commitments to me for approval. It is embarrassing to learn from Departmental sources of commitments, some of which I had never even heard about before.

I told him that the Prison Bureauhas twomen downthere whoare instructingthe guardswho will have Ray incustody in jail as to how tohandle thecustody ofa prisoner considered dangerousand apparentlythey are going intothe technical -u~....' ...... aspects oi it.

I said our relations with the Home Oice and ScotlandYard are such that they will see the situation as we do.

The Attorney General said that maybe he better have Assistant Attorney General Fred Vinson call Hanes now and tell him he will not be allowedrehu-n to the on planebefore gets tohe England.told I himI thought Z _, soashemaynotgoasitisan trip and he has no cash et irom i nes does make the trip to London. I said that so tar as Hanes knows, he may be ready to depart at any time and I thought the sooner we move the departure up, the better. The Attorney um.- '. General agreed and said he was not sure we know enough nowto send the plane over now. He said he did not know where it was and I told him the plane is at Andrews Air Base. The Attorney General said also that I would want to send my men in it too. I told him I did and we have four men available to go over. I told him the reason I knew the plane is here is because Vinson sent over word to Assistant Director Rosen this morning that he thought they should go look the plane over so I presume it is at Andrews now and is being kept there. 92 Q g

I stated first that the airportfrom whichwe weregoing toleave inEngland isunder repair sothe planewill be leaving iroma diiierent airport called Lakenheath, which is near theother oneand isperfectly satisfactoryso iar as we are concerned." TheAttorney Generalasked iiit werea public airport or a Royal Air Force airport andI told him it wasa Royal Air Force airport. I contimied that we were told yesterday here in Washingtonthat the Air Force was contemplatinggoing to another eld in Arkansas incase some emergency preventedtheir landing at Memphis. I stated we took the position this was most undesirable because it would involve the transportation oi the prisoner from Arkansas to Memphis. The Attorney General stated there are all those bridges to cross, too. I stated also there was the matter of jurisdiction which would be raised. I stated we wouldnot leave the plane it had to land in Arkansas and just wait until the enzergencywas resolved and then take off for Memphis.

I said there is also complication in regard to the matter oi a plane from here. I stated that Assistant Attorney General Fred Vinson yesterday indicated the Air -Force indicated a plane might not be available in view of the President going to Honolulu andhaving to press a number of planes into service. I said there hasbeen nofurtherword morning.I said this ' man canleave right now iiwe hadthe planeover there, but wehave to wait and seewhat the Air Force is going to do and ii they won't furnisha plane. we will have to charter a commercial plane.

I told the Attorney General that condentially, the Commandant . of the Air Base in London when he was here last week was briefed and told the plane is standing by ready to take off without advance notice. I said ».|92. --.92- --.--. this is highly confidentialbecause theCommandant wastold this by officers .. - IIi.v§92 of the Air Force. I said I think they areplaying gamesat the Air Force ...-.. N.-.- as theysay wehave towait for the return of this Colonel Burleson phonetic!, 92--.. .--.,_ who is the one Mr. Vinson has been dealing with and he is due back around --1-> noon today. I said at that time we will probably know more what the situation 92 is becauseRay hasnow signedthe order waiving anyappeal sohe is ready to move as soon as we get a plane over there. The Attorney General _ ;;;.-L said the Home Secretaryhas to sign theorder. -I said he hadnot yet but he wouldby noontoday sothat will clear all formalities, but Ray hasalready signed the paper he was supposedto sign waiving appeal. The Attorney General said he would talk with Mr. Vinson, that Clark Clifford, Secretary of Defense, was out of the country. I said I thought it was a matter where he might talk to the highest official over there. The Attorney General said he was sure there was no problem. I said our men ~-.'.. are ready to leave at a moment'snotice and it should be possible to leave as soon as the Air Force gives clearance and be over in England by evening and be able to arrange to come back tomorrow.

The Attorney General said that the jail may not be ready down there yet, which would be another complicating factor. I told him we understood from our people in Memphis that they were ready as they had put in the bullet- proof shields, et cetera, the Sheriff had picked his squad, and he had five cars standing by in case they were needed.

The Attorney General said then he would talk with Mr. Vinson & further and see if we can'tmove it out and thanked me for calling.

The AttorneyGeneral remarkedthat this was arough one and the man really made hismistake bymoving beforethe last stop.

Judge Edward A. Tamm called to bring to my attention a telephone number, 522- 0336. He said he thought it would be of interest to me and perhaps the White House would be interested in it.

Judge Tamm stated when you dial this number you get a tape recording of reasons why Abe Fortas should not be appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the announcement at the end that a new statement of reasons will be broadcast on Saturday. Judge Tamm said he thought I might want to check it and I might want to pass it on. I said yes, indeed. He repeated the number, 522-0336, and I stated I would check on that right away.

Judge Tamm said he understood this exchange is down in Virginia - Fairfax. He said he had checked it again this morning and they were still broadcasting it. He said he was not for Fortas but this is pretty low. I said yes. He advised that they mention Harry Dexter White, Lattimore, and Alger Hiss. I said that is about as low as you can get. I told Judge Tamm I would check on this and thanked him for calling. Mr. Gale has been instructed to check into this.

Yet many matters had been left out of the material that obviously should have been included in its original preparation. There was no reference in the material for my use before the Eisenhower Commission to the Youth International Party known as Yippies, notwithstanding the particularly active participation in this group by Jerry Rubin. Likewise, there was not included in the monograph to be sent to the Department and the White House some violent statements made by Rubin indicating the need to resort to force and violence. The latest statistics on crime for the first six months of the current calendar year were not included inthe material for the Eisenhower presentation. No reference was made to the activities of Dellinger in the material for the Eisenhower Commission notwithstanding that this individual participated in and led the movement against the Pentagon some months ago and was particularly active in the violent demonstrations in Chicago. No reference was made to the fact that Rudd, the leader of the demonstrations at Columbia University, was likewise in Chicago and took a most active part in the hostile confrontation against the police.

I could cite a number of other salient matters that were over- looked or ignored in the inclusion of material for my use before the Eisenhower Commission. As a matter of fact, had it not been for the recollections of Mr. Tolson and myself from various memoranda in the past which have come through and from the clippings of newspapers we would have been without some of the most pertinent material that materially strengthens the presentation before the Eisenhower Commission.

Memorandum for Mr. Tolson, Mr. DeLoach, September 16, 1968 Mr. Rosen, and Mr. Sullivan

I have also been most concerned at the lack of aggressive preparation of the monographand thehandling of the reports on the Chicago riots. I have in mind particularly the fact that the bottleneck in Washington in handling this material was not recognized until Friday of last week even though it was reasonable to anticipate that the same would develop in view of the volume of reports to be handled. When it was finally recognized, it took a whole day for a one-page memorandum to come through the Bureau to reach my office at 4:30 p. m. , though it started in the General Investigative Division before 9:00 a. m. It remained in some divisions several hours before being cleared for action. As I have indicated, it could haveeasily been anticipatedthat this bottleneck wouldoccur and request for additional personnel, both agent and clerical, could have been made anumber of days before.. The Administrative Division could not act until after it had been approved byme and, as I have indicated, I did not receive it until 4:30 p. m. This certainly shows a lethargy throughout the Bureau in the handling of a very simple but certainly urgent request.

There does not seem to have been recognition by all officials in charge at headquarters handling thesematters the seriousness of the same nor the impact of our failure to produce adequate information promptly and completely. I understand that even now the monographon the Chicago situation has not yet gone forth to the Department nor to the White House largely because it did not have in it some of the items which I specifically asked about this morning. I want an immediate correction of this indifference upon thepart of the officials charged with the primary responsibilities in the handling of this material.

I also want a report on each Monday and Thursday of exactly what progress we are making in completing the Chicago investigationand the prompt transmission of material pertaining thereto to the Department and to the U. S. Attorney at Chicago. I fear here again it has been allowed to drag without prompt and incisive action by officials at headquarters.

Assistantthe Directorto CarthaDeLoach D. He called. -/Wr advised that he had a call from Hobart Lewis, President of Reader'sDigest, who indicated that Robert Mackle, father of the kidnap victim Barbara Mackle, had been in touch with him and Mr. Mackle is interested in his "o1d friends" at Reader'sDigest either doing an article or a book on the Mackle kidnaping case with the victim doing most of the talking. Mr. Lewis wanted to know what we thought of it.

Mr. DeLoach stated he told him he would check with me, but the first thing that came to his mind was that which I indicated when the President called that the man should first be prosecuted and convicted. I told Mr. DeLoach to tell them it is absolutely wrong to use a story or article from Barbara until the case is disposed of in court as it will prejudice the case and allow the shyster lawyers who will represent the fellow in court in Georgia to obtain a change of venue or something like that. Mr. DeLoach advised that he had told Mr. Lewis it was wrong because it could be detri- mental to the prosecution and Mr. Lewis said nothing was going to be published prior to prosecution and conviction. Mr. DeLoach told him that nevertheless, they have to get the facts and the defense would know about it. I said that the trouble is they may ask the girl on the stand whether she has written a proposed article for Reader's Digestand when I talked with Mr. Mackle and the girl in Miami, it was the President who suggested to her that she write a book and she said she thought she would when the trial was over. I said then that nothing must be put into writing or a book or article until the man is tried and the case disposed of and then they can do what they want. I stated I also said that we might want to have it on the FBI television series, but that is far off now because hewill appeal whatever happens;that he will be convicted in Georgia, which he will appeal, and it will go to the Supreme Court so that will take quite some time and both Mr. Mackle and Barbara were perfectly satisfied and indicated complete agreement with me.
