Adams DATE: June 2, 1975FROM: Legal CounselSUBJECT: SENSTUDY 75On the morning of May 30, 1975, Mr. Robert Nichols (SA-Retired), and SA John Dennis Miller, Legal Analysis Office, met in Miller's office, prior to Nichol's appointment for interview by members of the staff of the Senate Select Committee.Miller gave Nichols a copy of the Committee's rules at approximately 8:35 a.m. after Nichols stated he had not been given a copy by anyone else. He advised Nichols that nothing Miller was about to say was intended to or should be interpreted as an order or suggestion to be uncooperative with the Senate Select Committee or its staff.Miller then advised Nichols he had the right to be represented by an attorney; if he is unable to retain an attorney, he should so advise the Committee staff and ask them to assist him in securing counsel; and the FBI could not provide the services of an attorney. Nichols said he understood.REC-100 62-116395-222Miller then escorted Nichols to the JEH Building where he met SAs Paul V. Daly and Seymor F.

Inv.TrainingTelephone Rm.Director Sec'yOn the evening of 5-20-75 Deputy Assistant AttorneyGeneral K. William O'Conner telephonically advised SA Paul V. Dalyof the Legal Counsel Division that the Department had reached a decisionconcerning the scope of testimony to be allowed in the Senate SelectCommittee interview of former SA Alan G. Sentinella. We previouslyhad informed the Department that Mr. Sentinella was to testify pursuantto a subpoena before this Committee and that Department of Justice Order501-73 requires we obtain Departmental approval before testimony maybe given. We also informed the Department that Lester B. Seidel, staffmember of the Senate Select Committee, had advised SA Daly that thescope of the intended interview of Sentinella would include knowledgeSentinella may have concerning the investigations of Martin Luther King,Stanley David Levinson, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference(SCLC). Mr. Seidel also indicated that they would interview Sentinellaconcerning his activities between the years 1960 to 1971.Mr. O'Conner advised SA Daly that the decision of DeputyAttorney General Harold R. Tyler; Assistant Attorney General AntoninScalia, and Associate Deputy Attorney General Robert McDermott was thatSentinella was released insofar as the Department was concerned to onlydiscuss three areas, those areas being the FBI investigations of Martin LutherKing, Stanley David Levinson, and SCLC. He was to advise the Committeethat he was not permitted to go outside of these three areas because ofinstructions from the Department of Justice which instructions were issuedpursuant to Department of Justice Order 501-73.On 5-21-75 former SA Sentinella was advised of theDepartmental restrictions on the information he could furnish the Committeeby SA Daly, and he was accompanied by SA Daly to the Senate Select Committeeoffice located in G308 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Sentinella'sinterview was scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Mr. Seidel met Mr. Sentinella andat 9:31 a. m. furnished Mr. Sentinella a copy of the Rules of Procedure forREC-10062-116395![scribbled text]1 - Mr. Wannall1 - Mr. Mintz1 - Mr. Cregar1 Mr. Hotis![scribbled text] Personnel File of FormerSpecial Agent Alan G.Sentinella (67-432832)1 - Mr. DalyCONTINUED - OVER219791PVD: kjs (8)NW 88296 Docld:32989588 Page 70

Legal Counsel to Mr. J. B. AdamsRE: SENSTUDY 75the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect toIntelligence Activities. At the same time, former SA Sentinella was furnishedforms which Seidel requested he fill out at that time. Seidel also madereference to Sentinella's Fifth Amendment rights but did not specify or spellout his rights.It was brought to Mr. Seidel 's attention by SA Daly that the Rulesadopted by the Senate Select Committee called for a witness to be given copiesof the Rules 24 hours prior to his appearance before the Committee and thatthese Rules are important for a potential witness to have knowledge of prior tohis being interviewed since they contain a list of rights and privileges which awitness is entitled to. It was also brought to Mr. Seidel 's attention that despitethe fact that the interview was to be initiated at 10 a. m. (initially the interviewwas scheduled for 9:30 a.m., however, upon arrival former SA Sentinella wasadvised it would not be held until 10 a. m.) with Mr. Sentinella being requiredto fill out forms, he would have very little opportunity to review and digest theRules of the Committee.Mr. Seidel was also advised of the restrictions placed on thearea which former SA Sentinella could respond to by the Department of Justice.Mr. Seidel specifically requested that he be allowed to ask questions concerning"COINTELPRO!" He was advised that this was not within the scope of theDepartment's release for Sentinella unless such information may have beenrelated to the investigations of Martin Luther King, Stanley David Levinson, orSCLC.SA Daly also explained to John Elliff, Task Force Head for theCommittee on Domestic Intelligence Matters, the circumstances surroundingthe failure to provide a copy of the Rules 24 hours prior to interview and of thelack of specificity of Mr. Seidel as to areas which Mr. Sentinella would beinterviewed.Mr. Elliff apologized for the oversight of the Committeein complying with its Rules and assured SA Daly this would not happen again.In addition, he was advised that the Rules of the Committee provide that witnesseswould have a reasonable opportunity to inspect and correct their testimony,however, the Rules provide that a witness must inspect his testimony in theoffice of the Committee. It was pointed out to Mr. Elliff that such procedureswere unreasonable in that in Mr. Sentinella's instance, he would have to travelfrom Atlanta to Washington, D. C., to review the transcript of his testimony athis own expense. Mr. Elliff indicated that he believed other arrangementsconcerning this particular aspect of the Rules could and would be worked out.

Legal Counsel to Mr. J. B. AdamsRE: SENSTUDY 75Mr. Sentinella at the conclusion of his testimony advised SA Daly, who was not present at the testimony, that the Committee adhered to the restrictions placed on his testimony by the Attorney General with one possible exception. They asked Mr. Sentinella if while he was working in Atlanta his squad investigated the "Klan" and "SNCC" (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee). Sentinella advised he did not raise an objection to this question because he felt the deviation from the Departmental restrictions was very slight, and our investigations of these matters were well known.On the afternoon of 5-21-75 K. William O'Conner inquired of SA Daly how the interview went and he was generally advised of the facts surrounding the interview, including the fact that former SA Sentinella was not furnished a copy of the Rules until immediately preceding the interview. Mr. O'Conner inquired as to whether the Senator (Senator Robert Morgan [D-N.C.]) remained during the taking of testimony from Mr. Sentinella, and he was advised that according to Sentinella, Senator Morgan departed approximately five minutes after placing Mr. Sentinella under oath.Mr. O'Conner expressed his displeasure at the way the Committee operated and indicated he was going to discuss this matter with Deputy Attorney General Tyler.Subsequently, on 5-21-75 O'Conner indicated he had been in contact with James Wilderotter, assistant to the Counsel to the President, and Deputy Attorney General Tyler, and they want the Bureau to prepare a letter protesting the Committee's handling of the interview of Sentinella and of the fact that they violated Rules which were adopted by that Committee, specifically the Rules requiring Mr. Sentinella be furnished a copy of the Committee Rules 24 hours prior to giving testimony to the Committee, failure to be specific concerning the areas to be covered by Sentinella's testimony, the general manner in which the rights of Sentinella were explained to him, and the fact that Senator Morgan departed from the Committee session after giving the oath. O'Conner explained in this regard Deputy Attorney General Tyler feels that this is in contravention of the Rules of the Committee, and he questions whether an executive session of the Committee being held to hear such testimony can continue in the absence of a Senate Committee Member. He requested this letter be directed to Senator Church. He was advised that such a letter could only be prepared after approval had been obtained from proper Bureau authorities, and it was also pointed out to Mr. O'Conner that we had orally protested this matter to Mr. Elliff of the Committee and Mr. Seidel, and he was apprised of Elliff's statement that such mistakes would not be repeated in the future. It was pointed out to Mr. O'Conner- 3 - CONTINUED - OVER

Legal Counsel to Mr. AdamsRE: SENSTUDY 75that the Bureau had furnished former SA Sentinella a detailed briefing of hisrights and a briefing as to what was contained in the Rules of the Committeeprior to his interview. Mr. O'Conner again requested that we prepare a letterprotesting this matter.It is not felt that a letter concerning this particular matter shouldbe directed to Senator Church in view of Mr. Elliff's statement that thisincident will not be repeated in the future. It is felt that our oral protest to theCommittee is sufficient at this point, especially inasmuch as they accepted thelimitations placed on the testimony of former SA Sentinella by the Department.It would appear we could expect to achieve very little by sending such a letterat this time.RECOMMENDATION:That we orally advise Mr. O'Conner the Bureau does not feela letter should be directed to the Committee, concerning this particular incident.![PVD]![By FBI]![Done. 5/22/75 and See my mem o 5/23/75.

# Office of the Attorney GeneralWashington, D. C. 205306/3/75OGC 75.20MAY 3-0.1975Honorable Frank Church, .ChairmanUnited States Senate Select Committeeon Intelligence ActivitiesWashington, D. C. 20510Dear Senator Church:It is my understanding that the continuing efforts of staff members of the Executive and Legislative Branches to prepare standard guidelines for witness interview procedures are continuing this week. While that process continues, the Department of Justice is, of course, continuing to cooperate in an ad hoc and responsive manner. In order to ensure our attention to these cooperative efforts, I have designated K. William O'Connor as Special Counsel for Intelligence Coordination and as such he will be the (principle liaison officer of DOJ in this effort. I understand that your Chief Counsel and members of his staff are now dealing with Mr. O'Connor in the execution of their responsibilities.In the meantime, in an effort to expedite the cooperative provision of appropriate information to SSC, it would be most helpful if the Committee Staff would ensure that the Department of Justice is advised, in advance of Committee Staff contact with FBI employees and former employees, of the name of the witness and the scope of the prospective interview. This would facilitate the interview process, since it would make it possible to ensure that appropriate instructions are issued to the witness under 28 CFR 16.22, and would permit early decision upon the release of any applicable secrecy agreements.cc: John Warner
[124-10271-10299_multirif.pdf — page 74]
- 2 -In the same vein, I should like to invite your attention to some procedural matters surrounding recent witness presentation before the Committee. It appears, from reports which I have received, that two former FBI agents who recently appeared, did not receive copies of the Committee's Rules of Procedures until Immediately before appearance before the Committee; and that the scope of their proposed testimony was defined with somewhat less than optimum precision for pre-clearance. Some procedural problems are almost inevitable, especially in the early stages of hearings. I know that you share my interest in assuring that full procedural due process is unequivocally provided to all witnesses who testify before the Committee or are interviewed by Committee Staff. In calling this matter to your attention I seek your support in restricting such problems to a minimum and prospectively avoiding others of like kind.Sincerely,![Signature of Edward H. Levi]Edward H. LeviAttorney General

The marked entries are Inspection, Intell, Laboratory, Legal Coun, Plan & Eval.]The purpose of this memorandum is to advise that a representative of captioned Committee has advised that if the Bureau's response to a Committee request concerning the Democratic Convention in Atlantic City in 1964 is sufficiently informative it may not be necessary to interview Bureau personnel concerning this matter and to recommend that an expeditious effort be made to furnish a summary concerning the Atlantic City investigation be made available along with certain documents concerning this matter.By way of background, we have received a request dated 5-14-75 pertaining to many items, among which was information concerning the Bureau's activities in Atlantic City in 1964 at the Democratic National Convention. At a meeting on 5-30-75 it was pointed out to the Committee that certain aspects of their May 14, 1975, request were particularly burdensome, would in some instances invade privacy and for other reasons was most difficult. During this meeting which was attended by Mark Gitenstein, staff member of the Committee; John Elliff, Task Force Director; representatives of the Bureau; and K. William O'Conner, Special Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General for Intelligence Coordination, the Committee representatives indicated that subject to the Senate Committee's approval they would accept some sort of summary with regard to their request in Appendix D, Item 8 of the May 14, 1975, request. This item pertains to the Bureau's activities in Atlantic City.We have had former Agents interviewed concerning this matter, a request has been made to interview two Bureau secretaries, and the Committee has indicated they intend to interview as many as five additional Bureau Agents concerning this matter. In conversation with K. William O'Conner, he mentioned that the Committee had specifically informed him that if the Bureau's response was informative enough concerning62-116395 REC. 112 62-116395-0701 - Mr. Wannall 1 - Mr. Hotis1 - Mr. Cregar 1 - Mr. Daly JUN 10 19751 - Mr. MintzCONTINUED - OVER> [Figure: A cartoon drawing of a minuteman holding a rifle]Buy U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savings PlanNW 882960-DocId:32989588 Page 76
