# U. S. SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIESRE: INTERVIEW OF FORMER ASSISTANT TO THE DIRECTOR JOHN P. MOHR BY SEC STAFF MEMBERSMr. Mohr was also questioned about the procedures he followed in securing Mr. J. Edgar Hoover's office after Mr. Hoover's death. Mr. Mohr told the Staff Members that the article which appeared in "The Washington Star" by columnist Jeremiah O'Leary was an accurate recording of what took place following Mr. Hoover's death. The Staff Members requested Mr. Mohr review in considerable detail exactly what he did to secure Mr. Hoover's office following his death.The question of former Associate Director Clyde Tolson's will was also raised by Staff Members. Mr. Mohr advised the interviewers that Hillory Tolson, brother of Clyde Tolson, had not decided at that time whether he was going to contest the will.Mr. Mohr was also asked about the whereabouts of Miss Helen Gandy, former Executive Assistant to Mr. Hoover. He advised that he did know her whereabouts and telephone number but promised he would not reveal them to anyone. Mr. Mohr was asked whether Miss Gandy would agree to being interviewed by Staff Members of the SEC. He advised that he would attempt to persuade Miss Gandy to agree to being interviewed on the condition he be allowed to be present during the entire interview. The Staff Members interposed no objection to that arrangement and Mr. Mohr indicated that he would advise Mr. Citenstein of Miss Gandy's desires under the conditions stipulated above.On May 12, 1975, Mr. Mohr telephonically advised that he recalled some additional topics covered during the interview of May 9, 1975, which he desires to furnish to the FBI. Specifically, Mr. Mohr recalled that he was asked if he knew who prepared the "surreptitious letters" the Bureau had mailed in the Socialist Workers Party case. Mr. Mohr advised the Staff Members that he did not know but presumed those letters were prepared in the Document Section of the FBI Laboratory.

The policies and procedures of the FBI for the utilization of the technique in internal security, intelligence collection, and/or counterintelligence matters, operations, or activities."It would appear appropriate that response to Appendix A, item number 5, be prepared by the Legal Counsel Division. It is also apparent that response to Appendix B, item number 4, should be closely coordinated although responsibility for research in this area would appear to fall more logically within the Intelligence Division.RECOMMENDATIONS:1. That Legal Counsel Division assume responsibility for preparing response contained in Appendix A, Item number 5.

# UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTMemorandumTO: Mr. J. Adams DATE: 5/21/75FROM: Legal CounselSUBJECT: SENATE SELECT COMMITTEEAt approximately 9:00 a. m. on May 21, 1975, retired Special Agent Alan G. Sentinella appeared in my office prior to his appointment to receive a subpoena and to testify at 9:30 a.m. on 5/21/75 at Washington, D. C., before the Senate Select Committee. I told Mr. Sentinella that it would not be possible for me to furnish him personal counsel prior to or during his testimony, however I felt it was appropriate for me to furnish him certain information. I told Mr. Sentinella that he was entitled to be represented by a personal counsel of his own choice at any time and that if he chose to secure the services of a private attorney he was at liberty to do so.I also told Mr. Sentinella that under the rules of the Senate Select Committee (Rule 6.4), a witness may be accompanied by counsel during testimony and a witness who is unable to obtain counsel may inform the Committee of that fact and the Committee is obliged to endeavor to obtain voluntary counsel for the witness. I told him that the rules further provide that the failure to obtain counsel would not excuse him from appearing and testifying.I asked Mr. Sentinella whether he had been given any advice by the Committee concerning his right to counsel and whether he had received a copy of the Committee's rules as required by regulations in the rules (Rule 6.1). Mr. Sentinella said that he had not been so advised and he had not been given a copy of the rules by any representative of the Committee.I told Mr. Sentinella that as to matters other than the presence of personal counsel, no understanding had been reached with the Committee.1 - Mr. Wannall1 - Mr. Cregar1 - Mr. Hotis1 - Mr. MintzJAM:mfd (6)

Memorandum to Mr. AdamsRe: Senate Select CommitteeI further explained to him that the Attorney General Order relating to responses to subpoenas would apply to him and that we had been advised that the Department had approved a waiver of the Attorney General Order limitation permitting his testimony, but only as to matters concerning Martin Luther King, Jr., and Stanley David Levison, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, including related matters. I told Mr. Sentinella that should the questioning involve other areas and he was in doubt as to his authorization to respond, he could request an opportunity to consult with the Department to secure approval for his testimony consistent with the terms of the Attorney General Order. I also reminded Mr Sentinella that a representative of the FBI would be available during his testimony for such consultation as he felt might be necessary. I told him that SA Paul Daly would be available for that purpose.I told Mr. Sentinella that our concern is not that matters of historical fact might be revealed, but that testimony which might be required of him could impair the Bureau's current efforts to discharge its responsibilities. I explained that in specific terms what this meant was that information that would identify sensitive sources, techniques or methods, or that would identify confidential informants, or would expose current investigative operations should be reserved for members of the Committee or perhaps the Chairman of the Committee depending upon the sensitivity of the particular information. I advised him that in the event such matters are involved in the questioning he could request consultation and that arrangements could be made for the answers to be supplied under appropriately limited conditions. I told Mr. Sentinella that as to other areas of possible testimony, the Bureau would impose no request that he decline to answer questions.Mr. Sentinella advised me that he understood the matters I had explained to him and that he did not at this time feel the need of personal counsel because he said that he did not regard the appearance as one in the nature of a grand jury appearance. I told Mr. Sentinella that he should be aware that his testimony would be given under oath and in the event he made a statement that was self-incriminatory, it could be used against him. I reminded him I was not advising him in order to deter him from furnishing testimony, but only telling him of the protections he has under the- 2 -CONTINUED - OVERNW 88296 Docld:32989588 Page 150
