I am sorry to leam that you are unable to endorse the Committee's investigation and the efforts which have been undertaken to strengthen the Nation's intelligence agen- cies through closer definitions of their legal authority and areas of legitimate operation.One of the possible abuses under investigation is the violation of the First and Fourth Amendment rights of Americans under the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The American system of government is unique in that it not only permits, but encourages, its citizens to voice their views on important issues. One of the rights we are trying to protect is your right to express your thoughts to me, either over the telephone or through the mails, without having your message intercepted or recorded by unauthor- ized persons. Highly sophisticated equipment. now makes it possible to tum our surveillance techniques, which were originally designed to intercept foreign transmissions, inward against ourselves. It is important that pro- vision be made for the lawful use of this capability, and that protection be assured our own. citizens who could become the unwitting victims of this unconstitutional but nevertheless powerful surveillance technology.I want to take this opportunity to assure you that the Committee's purpose is not, as some have suggested, to destroy, degrade, or even disrupt the legitimate functions of the intelligence gathering and law enforcement agen- cies of the United States. On the contrary, its purpose is to fortify these valid and vital areas of operation. However, we do intend to identify abuses or patterns of abuses which are clearly unlawful and take action to prevent their recurrence, whether they involve individuals or nations. We as indi- viduals must live within the law; so must our Government and its agencies.I appreciate your taking the time to write to me, and trust that the ultimate outcome of this investigation will strengthen the faith of our people in the integrity of their Govemmer.t.With all kind wishes.Sincerely,![signature of Frank Church]Frank ChurchChairmanNW 88326 Docld:32989603 Page 112 62.116395-1469

The large number is cause for major concern should violence of any type break out. It is necessary for this Bureau to keep abreast of events as they occur, and we feel that in this instance advance knowledge of plans and possible areas of confrontation would be most advantageous to our coverage and to the safety of individuals and property. Accordingly, we are requesting authorization to install a telephone surveillance on the Washington office of the NMC.Interception will be made without trespass and maximum security will be guaranteed. Because of extensive contacts of the organization involved, it cannot be anticipated whether individuals who are or may be placed under an active investigation for possible criminal violations will be overheard by this coverage.Respectfully,![Signature of J.
