# UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTMemorandumTO : Mr. J. B. AdamsFROM : Legal CounselDATE: 4-9-75SUBJECT: SENATE SELECT COMMITTEEON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIESHOUSE SELECT COMMITTEEON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIESDuring various contacts with William Miller, Staff Director of the Senate Select Committee, and Congressman Lucien Nedzi (D-Mich.), Chairman of the House Select Committee, the question has come up regarding the need for a check of the private offices of individual Committee Members to assure the absence of any electronic listening devices. The Committee personnel have been told that we consider this absolutely essential and they agreed.In exploring this matter, it was determined that the Capitol Police Department recently has established a special unit to handle all types of security problems within the Capitol Hill complex, including checks for electronic listening devices. Personnel of this unit have received extensive training, *some from CIA*. The operations of the unit are controlled through the Sergeants at Arms of the House and Senate.This matter has been discussed with Robert Hough, Deputy Sergeant at Arms of the Senate, and with Kenneth Harding, Sergeant at Arms of the House. Hough advised that the special unit already has conducted complete security surveys of the new office space of the Senate Select Committee and certainly will perform any other checks of this type needed by the Committee or its individual Members. He said, in fact, that since they now have this capability they would oppose any outside agency coming on to the Hill to perform this function. Hough said he already has been in contact with Miller regarding the necessary security checks and stated he will let us know when the Senate Select Committee/have been checked. He said their rules require specific requests from the individual Members in writing.1 - Mr. Adams1 - Mr. Wannall1 - Mr. White1 - Mr. Mintz1 - Mr. Cregar1 - Mr. Farrington1 - Mr. BowersDWB:kjs (9)MAY 14 1975CONTINUED - OVERSEE ADDENDUM PAGE TWO

Legal Counsel to Mr. Adams MemoRE: SENATE SELECT COMMITTEEON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIESHOUSE SELECT COMMITTEEON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIESThis matter was discussed with Congressman Nedzi on 4-9-75, and he stated he would promptly contact Mr. Harding to work out the necessary arrangements for security checks needed by his Committee and its Members. Harding has promised to let us know when the checks of the House Select Committee Members have been completed.All contacts concerning this matter have been handled by Inspector Bowers who will continue to follow this situation with Senate Sergeant at Arms, William Wannall, or his Deputy; House Sergeant at Arms Harding; Mr. Miller of the Senate Select Committee; and Congressman Nedzi.RECOMMENDATION:For information.ADDENDUM: INTELLIGENCE DIVISION WOC:ekw 4/14/75On 4/11/75 the Executive Committee of the Ad Hoc Coordinating Group on Congressional Review for the Intelligence Community was apprised of the discussions with Mr. Robert Hough, the Deputy Sergeant at Arms of the Senate and with Mr. Kenneth Harding, Sergeant at Arms of the House. Although the Executive Committee would have preferred the FBI to conduct audio sweeps, they interposed no objection to the sweeps being handled by the Capitol Police Department. Mr. Roderick Hills, Counsel to the President, requested, however, that both Mr. Hough and Mr. Harding be requested to periodically advise the FBI as to the sweeps of Committee space for electronic listening devices. Specifically, Mr. Hough and Mr. Harding should be asked to furnish the FBI the following: How frequently they will conduct a counteraudio sweep; what offices will be swept, will the results of such sweeps be furnished the FBI, and will the FBI be immediately notified should the Capitol Police locate an electronic listening device?NW 88296 Docld:32989532 Page 133

The trip was for the purpose of mailing a package to the late Martin Luther King, Jr., and indicated we were checking our records for information regarding the expense voucher and Government Transportation Request:: (GTR) issued by Whitson and would report our findings.Jay Deane Cox, Voucher Unit, Data Processing Section, Computer Systems Division, supplied the following information as to the records available concerning Whitson's travel and what the procedures generally are for maintenance of travel and voucher records. The Voucher Unit maintains a Travel Authority Card (TAC) for all investigative and any other FBI employees who have ever had GTRs issued to them. The TACs are retained indefinitely as there is no provision for their destruction. For every voucher processed, there is recorded the voucher period, amount of voucher, date processed and record of any GTRs issued.The TAC for Whitson reveals entries to show that on 12/9/64 a voucher was processed for payment to Whitson in the sum of $19.40 for travel during the period 11/1-30/64. With that voucher was a memorandum copy of a GTR issued 11/21/64 to National Airlines in the sum of $107.40 for air coach travel, Washington, D.C., to Miami and return. Attached to instant memorandum is a Xerox of the memorandum copy of the GTR, which copy is being retained in the Voucher Unit.

# UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTMemorandumTO : Mr. J. B. Adams DATE: April 24, 1975FROM : W. R. WannalleSUBJECT: SENSTUDY 75)FORMER SUPERVISOR LISH WHITSONASSIGNED INTELLIGENCE DIVISIONMemorandum captioned as above 4/23/75 reported on interview of Mr. Whitson by Michael Epstein, staff member of the Senate Select Committee. The interview related to Whitson's trip to Miami in 1964 at the instructions of former Assistant to the Director William C. Sullivan to mail a package to Martin Luther King.Whitson telephoned my office twice this morning. At 10:35 a.m. he advised that Epstein had asked him by telephone how Whitson had made the trip to Miami, meaning how it was paid for. Whitson told him he had issued a Government Transportation Request (GTR). Epstein asked whether there was any prior written authorization for Whitson to make this trip and Whitson told him there was none. Epstein asked what kind of record would have been made covering the trip. Whitson explained that the only record that he knew of would be the expense voucher he submitted covering the expenses involved and possibly the copy of the GTR which he had issued. He explained to Epstein the voucher would merely show the GTR had been issued for a round-trip to Miami and how much per diem had been claimed in connection with the trip.In advising of the foregoing, Whitson stated it was his recollection he had made the Miami trip either in the late Summer or early Fall of 1964 and that Martin Luther King was "away" at the time.In my absence from the office, Whitson called again at 11:05 a.m. to say that Mr. Epstein asked him as to whether he had registered at the Airport Hotel in Miami and, if so, whether it was under his own name. Whitson told Epstein that he had registered under his own name at this hotelACTION: We are checking our records for information regarding the expense voucher and GTR issued by Whitson in connection with this trip and results will be reported.WRW:1ml (6)Mr. AdamsMr. MintzMr. CregarMr. WannallPersonnel File of SA Lish Whitson (Out of Service)
