# UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTMemorandumTO : Mr. W. R, WannallFROM : W. O. CregarSUBJECT: U. S. SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC)2-Mr. Mintz(1-Mr. Hotis)DATE: 10/31/751-Mr. Wannall1-Mr. CregarMDR 16ALL INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS UNCLASSIFIEDDATE 10/26/2023Memorandum advises concerning proposed SSC hearing on FBI foreign counterintelligence (CI) matters.On 10/30/75 Mr. John Elliff, SSC Staff Member, met with Assistant Director W. R. Wannall, Intelligence Division (INTD). Also present were Section Chiefs W. A. Branigan (CI-1) and W. O. Cregar (CI-2) and Acting Section Chief F. J. Cassidy (IS-3) and Unit Chief E. W. Larson, Training Unit (IS-3). Mr. Elliff advised that the Committee proposed to have an executive session tentatively scheduled for the morning of Friday, 11/14/75, which would deal with foreign CI operations. In addition to representatives from the FBI they envisioned also having present representatives from CIA and the United States military intelligence services. He stated that the session would be scheduled for approximately 2 and one-half hours.During the conference the following three themes were outlined by Mr. Elliff as the probable areas of discussion:1.  Changes in CI operations during recent yearsItems discussed as probably worthy of attention were physical surveillances, the walk-in operations, defection (recruitment-in-place), CI training programs. Also suggested as a prime topic was the future projections concerning administration of foreign CI operations in the United States, i.e., new division for CI work within FBI; separate CI service; or other modifications.CONTINUED - OVERADDENDUM, LEGAL COUNSEL DIVISION, 11/5/75, Page 4.

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. WannallRe: U. S. Senate Select Committeeon Intelligence Activities (SSC)## Counter-subversionIn this category Mr. Elliff indicated a particular interest in foreign influence in domestic groups and the assessment of danger/risk in investigations undertaken to detect such influence. He brought up the disclosures of surveillances by CIA of Americans abroad at the request of the FBI. He also indicated an interest in borderline cases, such as those in which domestic counter-subversion investigations develop a CI aspect, and was particularly interested in the policies and coordinating mechanisms affecting such instances.## Positive intelligence collectionIn this category Mr. Elliff was interested in the responsibility for collection of positive intelligence within the United States and the apparent gap which existed in this field. He was also interested in situations under which the FBI might target friendly foreign intelligence services in the United States for CI attention.Considerable discussion was held during the conference during which INTD representatives set forth the FBI's position and experience in the many areas noted. They are being set forth here to illustrate the probable scope and nature of the executive session which is being planned. Further discussions will be held with the SSC staff to clarify these matters and a firmer agenda for the proposed 11/14/75 hearing will be developed.With respect to the proposed plan to include representatives of CIA and the military intelligence services along with the FBI in the proposed session of 2 and one half hours, it was pointed out to Mr. Elliff that this would not appear to be a very productive procedure. The CI perspectives and responsibilities of CIA and the military services are much more narrow and generally in a completely different context than the CI perspectives and responsibilities of the FBI, These differences, particularly in the shortCONTINUED - OVER

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. WannallRe: U. S. Senate Select Committeeon Intelligence Activities (SSC)time allotted, appear to represent a disadvantage to allparties concerned, including the Committee. It was pointedout that the FBI, in particular, would have considerabledifficulty in presenting a comprehensive and valid pictureof its own CI operations under the conditions imposed bysuch a session. Mr. Elliff, after considering theseobjections, stated that he could understand the FBIposition but was somewhat doubtful considering the pressuresunder which the Committee was operating that he would beable to alter this situation.ACTION:None.

# UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTMemorandumTO : Clarence Kelley, DirectorFBIFROM : Edward H. LeviAttorney GeneralSUBJECT: Joseph Kraft burglaryDATE: January 12, 1976Among the documents from Federal Bureau of Investigation files provided to my office under a cover memorandum dated October 7, 1975, there was a memorandum dated July 18, 1973 and titled "Joseph Kraft," This document, along with the others, was provided to Mr. Kraft's attorneys pursuant to the agreement of August 5, 1975, for review before the department furnished it to the Senate Select Committee.When Mr. Kraft and his attorneys reviewed the July 18, 1973, document they raised a question about a reference on page two of the document which stated:"On September 4, 1969, Joseph Kraft advised the Washington Field Office of the FBI that he left his home (3021 N Street, N. W., Washington D. C.) at approximately 9:20 P.M. on September 3, 1969, to visit with former Governor Averell Harriman who resided a few doors from the Kraft "residence. At approximately 9:45 P.M. Mrs. Kraft, who was in the second floor bedroom of the residence, came down the stairs and found the door open."Subsequently, it was discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Kraft several items of sterling silver were missing from the dining room and the pantry which items, according to the Krafts, had an estimated value of approximately $10,000."A crime scene search and processing of the crime scene by the Metropolitan Police Department produced negative results. No forcible entry was noted and Mr. Kraft advised investigative officers of the Metropolitan Police Department that he had probably left the front door ajar when he departed the residence.Buy U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savings Plan
[124-10238-10333_multirif.pdf — page 77]
"On the morning of September 4, 1969, the Metropolitan Police Department was advised by the Washington National Airport Police that some silverware had been found near one of the entrances to the terminal at the Washington National Airport. The silverware was recovered by the Metropolitan Police Department and processed for latent fingerprints without success and the items were returned to Mrs. Kraft upon her identification of the silverware. No suspects were developed by either the FBI or the Metropolitan Police Department in the investigation of the matter."Mr. Kraft does not recall having spoken to the FBI about the burglary. Documents provided more recently to Mr. Kraft pursuant to the August 5, 1975, agreement do not shed any light on this question.The incident is curious in that the only reference to it comes in the memorandum of July 18, 1973, discussing a press report about the activities of John D. Erlichman. Could you have someone look into this matter for me? The obvious questions are: What other documents in FBI files say about the September 3, 1969, burglary? What files of the Bureau or its Washington field office indicate about how the conversation about the burglary took place?NW 88296 Docld:32989550 Page 78

FBIDate: 7/30/68asmit the following inAIRTELTO : DIRECTOR, FBI ATTN: ASSISTANT DIRECTOR WILLIAM C. SULLIVANFROM : SÁC, CHICAGO (100-44963)SUBJECT: DEMCONAs the Bureau is aware, I am gravely concerned over the potential for serious violence occurring in Chicago during the period of the Democratic Convention, which commences August 26, 1968 and the days immediately preceding this convention. Had the convention occurred within 30 days after the President made his announcement that he was not going to run for reelection and after the Viet Nam peace talks started in Paris, I feel that we might not have had serious violence as these two occurrences took much of the steam out of many of the organizations comprising the "New Left". Their direction at that time was primarily against President JOHNSON and against Viet Nam and much of the steam went out of their programs following these two announcements.It is our observation, however, that these "New Left" organizations have now had time to redirect their programs and are now concentrating primarily on demonstrations and activities against Vice President HUMPHREY, characterized by them as the "Dump Humphrey Campaign". The fact that the war still continues in Viet Nam, has again given emphasis to the organizations which exist on the basic theme of anti- Viet Nam. I am thinking particularly of such organizations as the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Viet Nam, Students for Democratic Society, Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Viet Nam and the Youth International Party (Yippies).3 - Bureau1 - ChicagoMWJ:wmn(4)REC 43 16 AUG 20 1968

# MemorandumTO: DIRECTOR, FBI (157-8589)FROM: SAC, CHICAGO (100-44963)SUBJECT: DEMCONDATE: 8/23/68On August 12, 1968, USA THOMAS A. FORAN contacted SAC, Chicago, advising that WARREN CHRISTOPHER, Deputy U.S. Attorney General, desired to meet with the SAC, Chicago.As a result of the above request, SAC, Chicago, and Supervisor RICHARD L. STRAIN met briefly with Mr. WARREN CHRISTOPHER and Mr. WES POMEROY of the U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., in the presence of USA FORAN in his offices.Mr. CHRISTOPHER was most congenial and expressed his high regard for the FBI and asked for a current evaluation of activities in the Chicago area which could possibly affect the Democratic National Convention (DNC) being held the last week of August, 1968. Mr. CHRISTOPHER was advised that all information has been previously furnished to him by letterhead memoranda and was in his possession and he was assured all information coming to our attention would be immediately furnished to the Department and to the USA in Chicago. A brief discussion of current trends followed relative to current intelligence regarding the activities of anti-war and Negro militant organizations which have proposed disruptive tactics at the DNC.At one point in the discussion mention was made of the fact that the Youth International Party, aka / Yippies, was currently holding talks with the city administration in an effort to obtain necessary park permits to have their followers live and sleep in one of the Chicago area parks during the week of the convention and hold a "happening" which the Yippies referred to as the "Festival of Life." During this discussion USA FORAN confidentially advised that when he had received the FBI's notification of the anticipated plans on the part of the Yippies, he had contacted certain city officials known to him and attempted to persuade them against the issuance of such a permit in view of the known moral conduct of such groups. USA FORAN advised he had been assured that such permits would not be granted. He stated these 'permits have as yet not been granted and that his sources have indicated no serious consideration has been given to the request by responsible Chicago city officials.
