Memorandum to Mr. AdamsRe: Senate Select CommitteeMr. O'Connor noted that even though formal current rules have not been agreed upon with the Committee, it appears that Elliff's cooperation in furnishing the above information indicates a willingness to abide by the terms and conditions that I had requested Mr. O'Connor to seek in behalf of the FBI.In this developing cooperation with Elliff, it is my opinion that we should not participate in the conference at noon on Tuesday, May 27, 1975, at which time the broad proposals by Wilderotter will be discussed. It is to the interest of the FBI to develop a cooperative attitude on the part of Elliff and his staff and that is being accomplished.RECOMMENDATION:For information.![Signature]- 7 -NW 88296 Docld:32989588 Page 105

One copy each of 13 Tables of Contents concerning forms utilized by this Bureau.Concerning the FBI's filing system and the Committee's requests for a so-called "Clerk's Manual;" and for a list of FBI classifications used in its filing system, it will be noted that the nine-page memorandum contains the list of classifications. With respect to the so-called "Clerk's Manual," the Files and Communications Division of the FBI maintains detailed instructions which are followed by its employees in classifying mail for indexing. It is not known whether such instructions are what is referred to by the Committee as the "Clerk's Manual." These instructions consist of nine volumes of material. Because of their bulkiness and because it is not clear whether this material would serve the Committee's purpose, it is not being furnished at this time. However, it will be available for review at FBI Headquarters by the Committee Staff.HWD/SFP:cmc(10)SEE NOTE PAGE 2Assoc. Dir.Dep. AD Adm.Dep. AD Inv.Asst. Dir.:Admin.Comp. Syst.Ext.

# FILING SYSTEMThe following will explain tho Tables of Contents concerning FBI forms which are being furnished in lieu of the actual forms at this time. This procedure is being followed because the forms number nearly 2,000 and many will probably be of no interest to the Committee. If the Committee will review these Tables of Contents and advise which forms it desires to see, appropriate steps will then be taken to make them available to the Committee Staff. The Tables of Contents headed "FBI Form Pook" lists all FBI FD (Field Division) forms which are in use throughout the field. The remaining Tables of Contents list those forms applicable to the work of specific FBI Divisions at Headquarters. For example, forms with the prefix "1" are used in Division One (Identification); those with profix "2" are used in Division Two (Training); etc. There are no forms peculiar to Divisions 11 (Legal Counsel) and 13 (Office of Planning and Evaluation). Those forms with prefix "0" (omnibus) are for use by two or more Divisions at Headquarters.1 - The Attorney GeneralNOTE:Clearance for making these Tables of Contents available was obtained from the Training Division for the FD forms and from each Division for its applicable forms. The Files and Communications Division has cleared the paper "FBI Indexing Procedures."

CREGAR.RLM:jmnNOTE:The Senate Select Committee has expressed an urgent interest in the details of any FBI investigation concerning the disappearance of Thomas Riha, former Professor at University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, in March, 1969. The Bureau conducted no investigation regarding the disappearance. There was considerable publicity with reference to a statement made by Dr. Smiley, then President of the university, that he had been informed by a Government official that Riha "was alive and well" Smiley was interviewed by the El Paso Office. Smiley furnished information in the strictest of confidence, not to be disseminated to any outside agency, regarding his contacts with a CIA representative in Boulder after the Riha disappearance. It was the CIA official who told him that Riha was alive and well. Without the Smiley interview our response to the Senate Select Committee has an obvious gap. If the Committee calls any witnesses in the Riha matter Dr. Smiley would be one of the most logical persons to call. The passage of time and other factors may have brought about a change in the mind of Dr. Smiley regarding, the necessity to keep the information furnished by him in a confidential relationship with the Bureau and it is believed he should be given the opportunity to either reinforce his request for confidentiality or release the Bureau from the restriction he imposed.![Assoc.
