William O'Connor,Special Counsel in the Deputy Attorney General's Office, telephonicallyadvised me that his negotiations with the Committee concerning morerestrictive limitations on Committee access to witnesses were notsuccessful. He said that the Department has determined that theprocedure in effect previously whereby the FBI Director would receivea request for the availability of FBI personnel for interview and woulddetermine whether such personnel should be released from applicablesecrecy agreements would be reinstituted.I asked Mr. O'Connor whether this meant that the Departmentno longer regarded all requests for interview of present or former employeesas "demand" situations requiring the specific authorization of the Departmentas if a subpoena had been issued. Mr. O'Connor said that the Departmentwould not consider such requests in that manner and that the FBI shouldmake all determinations necessary for the appearance of witnesses forinterview.RECOMMENDATION: EX-106 REC-36For information. We will continue to discuss requests forinterview with individuals named by the Committee in their requests,and authorize waivers of the secrecy agreements on a case-by-casebasis.1 - Mr. Wannall1 - Mr. Cregar1 - Mr. Daly1 - Mr. MintzJAM:mfd51 AUG 04 1975Buy U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savings Plan

AdamsFROM : Legal CounselSUBJECT: SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ONINTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIESDATE: 6/27/75ALLEGATION BY JOHN ELLIFF CONCERNINGINTERFERENCE WITH COMMITTEE INVESTIGATIONAt 5:14 p. m., on 6/27/75, K. William O'Connor, Special Counsel for Intelligence Coordination, advised me that he had received a call from John Elliff of the Senate Select Committee complaining of what he described as an attempt to interferewith the Committee's investigation by supplying information to the press that the Committee had been furnished material which it had declined to use or to inquire into because of its sensitive nature. O'Connor said that Elliff claimed that a journalist who is friendly with the Committee had advised the Committee that he had information from a Justice Department official that the Committee had been furnished information originating in the FBI that Communist funds were used to finance Martin Luther King; that King had been related to the CP, USA, and that the Senate Select Committee had treated this matter as a "hot potato" and that the information also indicated that "King laughed all the way to the bank."O'Connor said that Elliff protested the apparent disclosures by the Justice Department to the press and claimed that it appeared an effort was being made to interferewith the Committee's work. O'Connor told Elliff he had no knowledge of anyone in the Justice Department furnishing any such information to the press and further, he told him that he did not believe that information concerning CP funding of King had been furnished to the Committee.O'Connor said that he did not believe that the FBI had furnished such information to the news media but he wanted us to be aware of Elliff's complaint. O'Connor said that it is possible that during interviews conducted by staff of the Committee, they have received statements indicating that Communist funds were used by King, but he does not believe that any documentation of that has been furnished to the Committee as vecRECOMMENDATION: For information.1 - Mr. Moore1 - Mr. Wannall SEE ADDENDUM, PAGE 21 - Mr. Hotis1 - Mr. Daly.1 - Mr. Mi

ADDENDUM - INTELLIGENCE DIVISION SFP:1hb 7/2/75INTD has received no report or has any information concerning the alleged leak referred to in this memorandum.Concerning to the allegation in this memorandum that information originated with the FBI that communist funds were used to finance Martin Luther King, Jr., and that King had been "related" to the CPUSA, the following is noted. We have never had any information that communist funds, literally, were used to finance King. We did have reliable reports that King was helped in a financial way, particularly as to advice regarding fund raising, by a close advisor, Stanley David Levison, who was a secret member of the CPUSA. However, none of our reports are known to have claimed that "communist funds" were financing King. King was never known to have been a member of the CPUSA. It is true that he had a number of close associates such as Levison who at the time were either current or past CPUSA members.INTD is unable to pinpoint the report that "King laughed all the way to the bank."- 2 -NW 88296 Docld:32989624 Page 278
