Reference is made to the December 18, 1975, letter
of the SSC as modified at a conference on December 30, 1975,
between Messrs. W. O. Cregar and P. V. Daly of this Bureau
and Committee Staff Members Michael Epstein and Mark Gitenstein.
This memorandum effects delivery of material in
response to Items 1, 1(a), 1(b), and 1(e). The matters
referred to are four FBI investigations about which the SSC
was previously furnished materials relating to FBI preventive
actions.
Concerning Item 1, which requested reports or letter-
head memoranda (LHMs) disseminated outside the Bureau by FBI
Headquarters (FBIHQ), for the six-month period preceding the
act of violence prevented, the following is noted. In regard
to the incidents involving the proposed assassination of a
narcotics agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the planned racial
violence in Cleveland, Ohio, there were no reports or LHMs
submitted by either the Minneapolis Field Office or Cleveland
(Field Office during the six-month period preceding the incident.

Concerning Item 1(a), which requested predications
for each investigation, it should be noted that in the incident
involving the proposed assassination of a narcotics agent, there
was no predication submitted by the Minneapolis Field Office.
This was due to the fact that there was no FBI jurisdiction
concerning this matter and consequently no investigation by the
FBI.
Concerning Item 1(b), which requested the first
investigative report or LH disseminated by FBIHQ outside the
FBI in each case, and a list of recipients of that report or
LII, the following should be noted. Regarding the incident
involving the proposed assassination of a narcotics agent, no
report or Li was submitted by the Ifinneapolis Field Office as
there was no FBI investigation. On the administrative pages
accompanying reports or Lif's involving the other incidents,
there are notations which identify those agencies which received
copies of these documents.
Item 1(e), requested annual reports or LHI's from the
office of Origin to FBI for the last five years during which
each case was an open (pending) investigation. Regarding the
incidents involving the Hanafi Muslim sect in Washington, D. C.,
the proposed assassination of a narcotics agent in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, and the planned racial violence in Cleveland, Ohio,
no annual reports or Luis were submitted by either the Washington,
Cleveland, or Minneapolis Field Office.

Reference is made to the oral request of Special
Assistant to the Attorney General Jack W. Fuller, October 20,
1975, for information concerning six individuals whose names
were placed on the National Security Agency (NSA) Watch List
because of FBI investigative interest in them.
In response to that request, enclosed are the
original and one copy each of six memoranda relating to the
following individuals:
1. Kathie Boudin
3.

Stokely Carmichael
Howard Lamar Fuller
Leonard Handelsman
5. Naomi Esther Jaffe EX 103
6. Saifeldine Ahmed Abdenabi Wadi-Ramahi.

The memoranda include information as to the reasons
why these individuals were investigated by the FBI, included
on the Watch List and the use made of the product received
from NSA concerning them, if any. Regarding those individuals
on whom there is no record of receipt of information of a
positive nature from NSA, it should be noted that it was our
-practice to destroy upon receipt any Watch List "product" which
_did not appear to be of significance in our investigations_and
to retain neither copies nor record of receipt.

On 10/20/75, Mr. Jack Marsh of the White House
contacted Jack Fuller, supra, concerning this matter and
Mr. Fuller requested that we select six individuals who had
been included on the Watch List and furnish the requested
information for possible use at an Executive Session of the
SSC. On 10/20/75, Mr. Dave Lohman, NSA, advised Supervisor
J. P. Thomas, INTD, that NSA was aware that we were going
to receive this request; that there was no need, from NSA's
standpoint, for classification of response merely because
it stated that certain persons were on the Watch List.
stated NSA intended to tell the SSC the number of requests
it had received from other agencies, including FBI, to put
names on the Watch List but that NSA had told Jack Marsh, supra,
that specific names would have to be furnished by the agencies
interested in the particular subjects.

KATHIE BOUDIN
Kathie Boudin is being sought by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation as a fugitive in connection with
her unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, for mob action
and for violation of Federal Anti-Riot Laws, the National
Firearms Act, and Bombing Hatters. She is being sought
as a Weatherman fugitive. Weatherman is a violence-prone
organization of Marxist ideology which operates an
underground movement for the purpose of committing acts
of terrorism. Weatherman members have been known to
travel abroad and were suspected of maintaining a system
of international communications.
Boudin's name was furnished the National
Security Agency by communication dated April 16, 1973,
along with names of other individuals affiliated with
the Weatherman organization. During 1973, a source who
had furnished reliable information in the past advised
he observed in Havana, Cuba, an individual whom he
believed to be identical with Boudin. A second source
who had furnished reliable information in the past
advised Leonard Boudin, Kathie's father, had made a
statement that Kathie Boudin was in Cuba.
There was no indication any information of a
positive nature was received from the National Security
Agency concerning Boudin.

STOKELY CARMICHAEL
Stokely Carmichael is a well-known and publicly
identified black extremist. Carmichael, during the approximate
period 1967 to present, has openly called for revolution
by blacks and the destruction of capitalism in America through
violent action.
Carmichael was among individuals of investigative
interest who were placed on the National Security Agency's (NSA)
Watchlist because of his extremist activities and contacts
which include both domestic and foreign personalities of similar
persuasion.
In addition to maintaining his residence in Guinea
and frequent trips to the United States, Carmichael has also
traveled to North Vietnam, Cuba and People's Republic of China.
Information furnished the Federal Bureau of Investigation by
ISA included data concerning his foreign travel, his visits to
the United States, travel of associates to visit him in Guinea
and invitations to attend various internati onal conferences.
This information received from NSA, in some instances,
was furnished appropriate FBI Field Offices to assist this
Bureau's investigation in following the travel and extremist
activities of Cermichael.

Handelsman was sought by the FBI as a fugitive in
connection with Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution for
Mob Action, Aggravated Battery, and Aiding Escape. He had
also been charged with Conspiracy for Possession of
Unregistered Firearms and Interstate Transportation of
Explosives and Incendiary Devices. Handelsman was sought

Latin American country.
There is no indication any information was
received from the NSA of a positive nature concerning
Handelsman.

Subject, commonly known as Dr. Abu Ayman Wadi
and Sayi Ramahi, was reported by a source who has furnished
reliable information in the past as being head of Al Fatah

Following the massacre of Israeli athletes at
Munich, September, 1972, his name was furnished to the
National Security Agency (NSA) as being of interest to this
Bureau. He departed the United States during the latter
part of July or early August, 1972, and a return visa was
denied by U. S. Department of State. He reentered in early
December, 1972, in possession of a passport in a variation
of his true name and was subsequently located. Subject
thereafter voluntarily departed the United States and has
not returned. However, sources have reported subject
interested in returning to the United States.
Information from NSA has assisted this Bureau in
following subject's location and activities since his

Reference is made to the SSC request dated

/00 BY SP
November 21, 1975.
Our files contained no reference to "Project
CHATTER" prior to November 6, 1975. On that date, on
invitation of the Department of the Navy, a representative
of this Bureau reviewed Navy records which the Navy planned
to release to the SSC, to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
on Administrative Practices and Procedures and to the
press on November 7, 1975. Those Navy records dealt with
"Project CHATTER" and other topics pertinent to Items 1
through 8 in the referenced SSC request. Reviews of
logical FBI files and inquiries of current FBI personnel,
who might possibly have knowledge of the topics discussed
in the Navy records, were made.
The only pertinent item developed through the
file reviews and aforementioned inquiries was a memorandum
dated August 4, 1950, recording an invitation from the
nffice of Naval Intelligence to the FBI to attend a conference
and be informed about a "truth serum" being developed by
the Navy.
A copy of that memorandum, which relates to
Item 2 in the referenced request, is attached (inked notations
thereon appear on the original). (62-2699-75)
No other record was located of any memorandum or
other communication prepared by FBI personnel relating to
the August 11, 1950, meeting mentioned in Item 2 of the
referenced request. Accordingly, our response to Items 3,
4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in that request is negative.

A review of FBI files for information relating
tn drugs designed to modify behavior indicates an
interest dating back tn 1922. However, this interest
has not extended to the point where the FBI has conducted
programs involving research, experimentation or use oË
drugs for interrogation purposes. Neither has it funded
such programs. We have maintained liaison with other
U. 5. Government agencies and industrial organizations
in order to be aware of developments in this area.
However, we have not implemented any programs to apply

SPECIAL AGENT (SA) JOSEPH WILLIAM MAGEE
BY AN SSC STAFF MEMBER
The following concerns an interview of Dr. Joseph
William Magee, a former FBI SA who retired in 1965, by an SSC
Staff Member.
On January 2, 1976, Magee advised this Bureau that on
a Friday, about September 18, 1975, he was telephonically contacted
by a Mike Epstein of the SSC who indicated a desire to talk to
him immediately. Magee told Epstein that he was quite busy and
would not be able to see him immediately. The only information
Epstein gave as to the reason for wanting to interview Magee was
to get information about the early organization of the FBI
Laboratory. There followed some further telephone calls between
the two but they never got together for an interview at that time.
However, on December 29 or 30, 1975, Epstein again called llagee
and asked Magee to appear at the SSC office for interview on
January 6, 1976. The only information Epstein gave on this
occasion as the subject matter of the interview was that it
would be about the operations of the Bureau.
On January 2, 1976, the Legal Counsel Division of this
Bureau determined from Epstein that the topic of interview of
Magee would be FBI Laboratory procedures and practices and, in
general, background information concerning FBI Laboratory operations.
On the same date Magee was advised by this Bureau of Epstein's
advice concerning the subject matter of the interview.

U. S. Senate Select Committee
to Study Governmental Operations
With Respect to Intelligence Activities (SSC)
Re:
Interview of Former FBI Special Agent (SA)
Joseph William Magee by an SSC Staff Member
Magee was released by this Bureau from his confidentiality
agreement for purposes of the interview.
On January 7, 1976, Magee voluntarily furnished this
Bureau the results of the interview which are as follows, not
necessarily in chronological order.
Interview took place on January 6, 1976, and Epstein
was the sole interrogator. The interview was very informal,
most of which took place in a coffee shop in the Dirksen Senate
Office Building, and it lasted little more than a half hour.
Magee was not advised of his rights. The following subject
matters were covered. Epstein inquired as to whether the FBI
had had a drug program. Magee responded by asking if Epstein
meant a program relating to the use of truth serum and Epstein
responded in the affirmative. Magee told him that the FBI did
not have such a program but that during the 25 years he had
been with the Bureau, there may have been some very selected
occasions when truth serum may have been used, but that he had
no specific knowledge of such use. Magee further advised that he
never knew of any FBI SA also being a medical doctor and that he
did not believe that an SA would ever have injected anyone with
a truth serum. Epstein voiced surprise that the FBI was not
aggressive enough to have a truth serum program in connection
with its use of the polygraph.
Epstein next inquired as to what the FBI did relative
to vulnerability studies. Magee told him that he did not know
what Epstein was talking about. Epstein elaborated by stating
that in the 1960s, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) allegedly
conducted surveys such as spraying chemicals in a subway station
to see if it could be sabotaged in this manner. Magee answered
that he knew of no such type of activity by the FBI and did not
think the FBI would ever engage in such activity.

With Respect to Intelligence Activities (SSC)
Re:
Interview of Former FBI Special Agent (SA)
Joseph William Magee by an SSC Staff Member
Epstein inquired concerning the relationship between
the FBI and CIA. Magee told him that he knew at one time the
FBI had one man who was the liaison link with CIA, that person
being former SA Sam Papich. Epstein wanted to know if meetings
between Papich and the CIA were primarily for the FBI's benefit.
Magee responded that he did not know much about the liaison
arrangements and meetings but it was his belief that such meetings,
as may have been held between FBI and CIA personnel, were designed
for the mutual benefit of all parties and that he did not know of
any meetings which were designed solely for the FBI's benefit.
Epstein inquired as to what the FBI did relative to
certain gases, the exact type unrecalled by Magee in his report
on this interview. Magee responded that some FBI SAS possess
gas masks to be used for obvious reasons but that the FBI had no
programs for use of gas.
Epstein asked Magee what he knew about Martin Luther
King, Jr. and whether he, Magee, had ever heard any recordings
concerning King. Magee said that he had not but that he under-
stood that the FBI had recordings of King which were bona fide.
Magee then told Epstein of his recollection of an obscure news
story of an event in North Carolina a number of years ago when
it was developed that some of King's associates had illegally sold
a number of rental automobiles and that the news account indicated
that no prosecution was authorized by the Department of Justice,
possibly on the basis that the Department of Justice did not
then want to disrupt the civil rights activities of King's
associates.
NOTE:
Magee's report of the interview was telephonically
furnished to Supervisor S. F. Phillips of the Senstudy 75 Project.

COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE (SSC)
NOTE:
SECRET
SXT
Samuel Adason Jaffe was a symbol number informant
of the New York Office from 1958 to 1961 and was later in
contact with the Washington Field Office. During these
periods of contact, Jaffe furnished information on his numerous
contacts with Soviet and People's Republic of China officials,
which were occasioned by his employment with ABC and CBS and
with other news media. * (u)
Following his identification by Soviet defector
["Sammy"] as having been recruited by the KGB while assigned
to Moscow, Jaffe was extensively interviewed and advised that
he believed he had been the subject of a recruitment approach
but denied being a KGB agent. Our relations thereafter were
conducted with caution in view of "Sammy's" allegations and
he is not currently being contacted.
x(u)
Jaffe filed a request under the Freedom of Information
Act in March, 1975, and subsequently appealed our denial of
access to information concerning him as contained in our files.
Jaffe has alleged that the FBI, or his association with the FBI,
has prevented him from obtaining work in the news media field.
This allegation is not supported by any material contained in
his file. (u)
The material being furnished the Senate Committee
represents all information contained in Jaffe's main file,
with certain exceptions which are explained in the memorandum
to the Committee. There are also some 200 to 250 references
which are not being furnished following an agreement between
Special Agent Paul V. Daly of the Legal Counsel Division
and Mr. Robert Kelley of the SSC that it would be agreeable
if we furnished the SSC the same material which was furnished
to the HSC. Classified by 4091 XGDS 2 and 3, Indefinito.

list of recipients of that report or LIEI, the following should
be noted. On the administrative pages accompanying each of
these reports or LIIs there are notations which identify those
agencies which received copies of these documents.

no annual reports were submitted. It is for this reason that
more than five reports are being furnished concerning Black
Panther Party activities in Detroit.
Regarding information pertaining to the Richmond,
Virginia, Chapter of the Black Panther Party, no annual reports
are being furnished as the Richmond Field Office did not submit

The following concerns an interview on
November 21, 1975, of former FBI SA J. Brooke Blake by
an SSC Staff Member.
The FBI released Mr. Blake from his confidentiality
agreement for the purpose of the interview.
Mr. Blake's account of the interview follows:
"On November 21, 1975, I met Committee attorney-
investigator Robert K. Kelley at Room G-308, Dirksen Senate
Office Building, Washington, D. C.
"Kelley took me to Room 155 of the Russell Building,
where he introduced a Committee contract court reporter,
Fred Ward. The room contained many empty conrerence tables
and chairs and is one used by senators' wives for some
program they have with the Red Cross.
"Ward and Kelley were the only persons present
throughout the deposition which was tape-recorded by Ward
using the court reporter's transcribing equipment. The
official deposition started at 2:07 p.m., and ended at
2:52 p.m.
There was an approximate 4-minute interruption
by a telephone call for Kelley, which I had to answer, and

then he politely asked me to leave the room. The
informal way the deposition was taken surprised but
didn't bother me. It could catch someone off guard if
strong cross examination developed.
"Kelley informed me of my constitutional rights,
the right to have a senator present and the right to
request a senator and/or attorney at any time throughout
the deposition. He had hinted while walking to the Inom
of an interest in how Klan informants are developed and
Bureau policy. He did not have a form on my rights or
any form for me to sign. After his advisement, I advised
him I had been briefed by the FBI only on procedure and
the limitation of the waiver of oath as pertained to infor-
mation only on Tom Rowe. He was informed I would not
answer policy questions because I had been nut eleven
years and of the availability of the Bureau executives to
answer those questions. He explained a notary would be.

Room G-308. I stated that I would only allow the nath

the deposition. He agreed.
He agreed. 
The preliminary conversation
and advisement of my rights was not recorded to my knowledge.
Apparently he predicated the inquiry as the result of
Rowe's testimony and to corroborate same. He made it
clear Rowe was most complimentary to the Bureau and all
Agents he knew.
"Set forth below are briefs of his questions
and my answers: (He was using a statement or memo of
about six pages which recorded testimony from Gary Thomas
Rowe, Jr.)

He reported in person, in writing and by telephone
depending on the urgency of the information. All

authorities on a need-to-know basis.

Rowe claimed that I had told him about the Bureau's

Did I ever tell Rowe that the FBI had declared war

In, but elaborated he was well aware of the FBI's

Alabama.
My reaction to the fact that Rowe was a member of the
Klan's Security Detail and one of Bobby Shelton's
bodyguards?
Explained that the fact that he was elevated in the
Klan's ranks was a concern of mine and the FBI's.
We wanted him put where he would be able to furnish
valuable information, but restrained him from rising
to any executive position in the Klan.
Testimony that Rove had given the Committee that
there were certain Birmingham police officers who
were involved with the Klan?
A - Because of the general possibilities, any information
he furnished was disseminated only to certain known
reliable police contacts. I pointed out to them the
delicate nature of most of Rowe's information and
the fact that it could not be disseminated by memorandum
form to all department employees of any agency.

Any directions given Rowe about Matt Murphy, a
candidate for police commissioner in Birmingham?
Was not at all familiar with Kurphy other than
hearing the name by Kelley who commented from his
memorandum that the question pertained to something
that occurred after I left the FBI.
When I was assigned to handle Rowe, what was my
recollection of his reputation and value to the FBI?
That he was known to the Department of Justice and
the FBI as the top Klan informant and that he was in
the position to furnish vital information to the
Government.
Any special instructions I recalled on how I was to
handle him?
I was to maintain control over him and recognize that
by his personality that if his control was not
maintained that he was the type that would run off
because of his enthusiasm and put his safety in
jenpardy. He was also the type who would try to run
the show if you let him.
Any recollections I had to the Mother's Day incident?
I had only heard of the incident, but was not with the
Bureau in Birmingham.
Did I ever direct Rowe while he was in the homes of
Klansmen to attempt to steer them to certain rooms in
the house while they engaged in conversation?
No, and I commented that they rarely discussed anything
of value in homes or Klan meeting halls, but did so in
small action groups.

"1Q
A
- A general question on the problem of handling a Klan
informant as opposed to a criminal informant with
Kelley setting an example of an informant in a bank
robbery?
-
I did not see any particular difference from his
example and that of a Klansman planning to bomb a
building.
"These were the only questions I recorded in
note form as he asked them. There may have been a few
others, but none of any significance and Kelley appeared
very cooperative and matter of fact throughout the
deposition. Ward and Kelley escorted me back to Room G-308
where I was asked to swear to the deposition by a
notary public, Audrey Hatry."
NOTE:
W. O. Cregar to Mr. W. R. Wannall memorandum
11/11/75 captioned "Senstudy 75" recommended releasing
Blake from his confidentiality agreement for purposes of
the interview, which was to be confined to Blake's
handling of former informant Gary Thomas Rowe, Jr.
Mr. Blake's account of the interview was set out in his
personal letter to Supervisor S. F. Phillips of the
Senstudy 75 Project. The letter was edited to omit
comments irrelevant to the interview or of a personal
nature.

RE:

Testimony before Senate Select
Committee on Governmental Operations
with Respect to Intelligence Activities
by J. Brooke Blake, November 21, 1975
i
Dear Mr. Phillips:
On November 21, 1975, I met Committee attorney-investigator,
Robert K. Kelly at Room G-308, Dirksen Senate Office Building,
Washington, D. C. He suggested we have lunch in the building
cafeteria. During those thirty minutes he spoke in generalities
about the Committee's work and I was able to keep the conversation
on a theme of my asking about his background and current activitieș.
He did ask if I knew Roy Moore. He was informed I knew Roy in
Birmingham and that he was one of a very few "trouble shooting"
inspectors who traveled throughout the United States as agent in
charge of major case investigations. He asked my opinion on why
Roy and I answered my guess was his experience and ability to
rally agents. I explained the latter as Roy Moore being the type
boss for whom most agents enjoyed working.
Throughout lunch and the deposition Kelly seemed infactuated
with informant, Tom Rowe

Ward and Kelly were the only persons present throughout the
deposition which was taperecorded, and by Ward using the court
reporter's transcribing equipment. The official deposition started
at 2:07 p.m. and ended at 2:52 p.m. (Kelly gave me the attached
subpoena-before being questioned.) There was an approximate 4 minute
interruption by a telephone call for Kelly, which I had to answer.

of the availability of the Bureau executives to answer those questions.
He explained a notary would be waiting to notarize my deposition when
we returned to Room G-308. I stated that I would only allow the oath
she gave me to apply to the fact I was the person who gave the deposition.
He agreed. The preliminary conversation and advisement of my rights was
not recorded to my knowledge. Apparently he predicated the inquiry as
the result of Rowe's testimony and to corroborate same. He made it clear
Rowe was most complimentary to the Bureau and all agents he knew.
Set forth below are briefs of his questions and my answers:
(He was using a statement or memo of about six pages which recorded
testimony from Rowe.)

Gay, yu
Manner of reporting from Informant Rowe?
He reported in person, in writing, and by telephone depending
on the urgency of the information. All information received
from him was recorded in FBI files and disseminated to local,
state and federal authorities on a need to know basis.
Instructions by me to Rowe as to what information he should
report?
All information, with main interest in intelligence activities
discussed by action groups.
My knowledge of any interest regarding an arrest record for Rowe?
None recalled nor did I ever recall seeing a rap sheet on him.
Any actions of violence which were planned which he reported to me
and what was done with the information?
None recalled, only evidence recalled was a report of another Klansman
carrying blasting caps on his person while at a Klan convention. This
information was disseminated to fellow agents on the scene with me
surveilling the convention.
Rowe claimed that I had told him about the Bureau's activities in
Cointel
His statement had to be false because I had never heard of the code
word until used recently in newspaper reports covering the Church
Senate Subcommittee on intelligence activities.

Q Any directions I had given to Rowe to attend political campaigns
and/or disrupt them?
A

Did not recall such.
Q - Knowledge of any Klan violence in which Rowe participated?

None recalled but explained that due to his personality he
could not look like an angel.
Did I ever tell Rowe that the FBI had declared war on the Klan?
No, but elaborated he was well aware of the FBI's interest in
solving the various bombings throughout Alabama.
My reaction to the fact that Rowe was a member of the Klan's
Security Detail and one of Bobby Shelton's bodyguards?
Explained that the fact that hevelevated in the Klan's ranks was
a concern of mine and the FBI's! We wanted him put where he would
be able to furnish valuable information, but restrained him from
rising to any executive position in the Klan.
Testimony that Rowe had given the Committee that there were certain
Birmingham police officers who were involved with the Klan?
Because of the general possibilities, any information he furnished
was disseminated only to certain known reliable police contacts.
I pointed out to them the delicate nature of most of Rowe's
information and the fact that it could not be disseminated
by memo, form to all department employees of any agency.
Q - Another question regarding attendance at political meetings with
the direction that Rowe persuade the Klan to take a certain position
for candidates?
A
-
Q
A
-
No such directions ever made.
What was the scope of Rowe's assignment as a Klan informant?
To obtain and report any or all intelligence information he could
determine.
Q - Any directions given Rowe about Matt Murphy, a candidate for police
commissioner in Birmingham?
A
A
Was not at all familiar with Murphy other than hearing the name by
Kelly who commented from his memo that the question pertained to
something that occurred after I left the FBI.
When I was assigned to handle Rowe what was my recollection of his
reputation and value to the FBI?
That he was known to the Department of Justice and the FBI as the
top Klan informant and that he was in the position to furnish vital
information to the government.

Any special instructions I recalled on how I was to handle him?
- I was to maintain control over him and recognize that by his
personality that if his control was not maintained that he was
the type that would run off because of his enthusiasm and put his
safety in jeopardy. He was also the type who would try to run
the show if you let him.
Q - Any recollections I had to the Mother's Day incident?

-
I had only heard of the incident, but was not with the Bureau in
Birmingham.
Did I ever direct Rowe while he was in the homes of Klansmen to
attempt to steer them to certain rooms in the house while they
engaged in conversation?
No and, commented that they rarely discussed anything of value in
homes or Klan meeting halls, but did so in small action groups.
A general question on the problem of handling a Klan informant
as opposed to a criminal informant with Kelly setting an example
of an informant in a bank robbery?
I did not see any particular difference from his example and that
of a Klansman planning to bomb a building.
These were the only questions I recorded in note form as he asked
them. There may have been a few others, but none of any significance
and Kelly appeared very cooperative and matter of fact throughout the
deposition. Ward and Kelly escorted me back to Room G-308 where I was
asked to swear to the deposition by a Notary Public, Audrey Hatry. I
informed Kelly that-I-hoped this would be the last time I would see him
on this matter and he responded he was pretty sure it was.
Please express my appreciation-of-the manner in which the FBI
helped me after I secured assistance, particularly the people in the
Congressional Affairs and the staff in your division.

Reports were submitted by various FBI field offices
regarding the activities of the ELF and COMINFIL, NAACP,
within the territory covered by each of these offices. In some
instancos, some of these offices listed themselves as office
of origin. However, inasmuch as the national headquarters of
these two organizations were located in New York City, FLINQ
considered the New York Office as the office of origin in the
investigation of these organizations and documents submitted
by the New York Office were utilized in response to your request.
Material concerning these four organizations has
been prepared and is being delivered with this memorandum.

RE: DECEMBER 18, 1975, LETTER TO THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL FROM SENATORS
MONDALE AND BAKER
Foll
On December 22, 1975, the FBI received a copy of a letter dated
December 18, 1975, which Senators Mondale and Baker sent to the Attorney
General levying certain requirements on the FBI with a request that the
responses be provided the SSC during the last week of December, 1975,
and the first week of January, 1976.
Item 2 contained a request for any information refuting the
suggestion made on page 34 of the General Accounting Office's September 24
report to the House Judiciary Committee, that cases in which violence can
be predicted probably represent less than two percent of all FBI domestic
intelligence investigations.
Page 34 of the September 24, 1975, report of the Comptroller
General before the House Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Constitutional
Rights concerning FBI domestic intelligence operations contains the following
statement: "There were only 12 instances--or less than 2 percent--in which
the FBI obtained advanced (sic) knowledge of planned activities on the part
of a subversive or extremist group or individual." This statement appears,
both in form and content, to be somewhat different from that contained in
your letter of December 18. One can predict violence when leaders of an
Dep. AD Adm. _ organization express an intention to resort to violent means to attain some end,
Dep. AD Inv. - when they further that intention by obtaining weapons and ammunition, and

SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC)
RE: DECEMBER 18, 1975, LETTER TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
FROM SENATORS MONDALE AND BAKER
The FBI is very reluctant to draw any conclusions from these
General Accounting Office's statistics, and we maintain no records or
statistics which would either refute or substantiate the inferences which
you apparently draw from their interim report. The two percent may
represent hundreds of citizens' lives and thousands of dollars in potential
property damage. It may only represent one life - a policeman, a citizen,
perhaps a President or public official. How does one measure the value of
this type of information? Surely not solely in terms of percentages.
You should perhaps consider the base from which the General
Accounting Office apparently drew their statistics. Their interim report was based
on their review of 676 FBI domestic intelligence cases under investigation during
Calendar Year 1974, in ten varied U. S. cities. Over 50 percent of these 676 cases
were admittedly only preliminary inquiries. These were limited investigations
designed primarily to fully identify the subject through established sources
and to ascertain whether that subject was in fact associated with an extremist
group or organization, or was likely to engage in violence himself. That
little advance information of planned violence evolved from these limited
investigations is not surprising. Most of the information concerning planned
violence would normally come from well-established informants in groups
and would not likely show up in these individual case files.
Also, had the General Accounting Office used as its base the
years of greater incidence of domestic violence, such as 1967-72, the figures
might have been appreciably different.
Item 3 was a request for any analyses of the General Accounting
Office's September 24, 1975, report.
The FBI has not prepared any analytical memoranda or any analyses
of the preliminary findings of the General Accounting Office as presented to the
House Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Constitutional Rights on September 24, 1975.

RE: DECEMBER 18, 1975, LETTER TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
FROM SENATORS MONDALE AND BAKER
The General Accounting Office report of September 24 was
an interim report hurriedly prepared to respond to a congressional request.
Neither the FBI nor the Department of Justice was afforded the opportunity
to review this report for substance or to have comments included prior to
its delivery to the Congressional Committee.
The General Accounting Office originally planned to submit
its final report in November or December, 1975; it is now expected in
January, 1976. The final General Accounting Office report will include
findings, conclusions, and recommendations based on a review of the full
900 domestic intelligence case sampling and a voluminous amount of
additional material. The FBI and the Department of Justice have been
assured of the right to review this report prior to its issuance and to have
comments included where appropriate. Any FBI analyses will be conducted
after receipt of the General Accounting Office's final report.

DATE/0/1/00BY
We have been asked to chair a special subcommittee
of the Select Committee on Intelligence which will con-
centrate on matters relating to domestic intelligence
activities of the Federal government. Our mandate is to
prepare for the full committee's consideration a draft
report of findings of fact on alleged abuses or excesses
by the FBI and otheṛ domestic intelligence agencies; the
causes of such alleged abuses or excesses and recommendations
which the Committee might make to remedy the problems we
have uncovered.
We are aware of the fine work in which your staff has
been engaged in these areas and hope that they will be
available to work with the Committee staff on these matters.
However, the Subcommittee finds the Committee record needs
to be supplemented in several important respects and there-
fore finds it necessary to direct a number of requests to
the FBI for further information which we hope will be
treated on a priority basis so that the Subcommittee can
meet the deadlines set by the full committee. These and
future requests which will be handled between the two
committee counsel or Mr. Elliff, Domestic Task Force Leader,
and Mr. Shaheen, Special Counsel for Intelligence Coor-
dination, will pertain to both information necessary for
us to formulate meaningful recommendations and to pursue
matters on certain specific alleged abuses which remain
unsettled. Among the future requests will be questions
pertaining to your guidelines on "Domestic Security Inves-
tigations" and on manpower and budget statistics for the
FBI's domestic intelligence program.

it is essential that the information requested below be

Attached is one draft copy of testimony to be delivered on
Wednesday morning, 9/24/75, by the Comptroller General Elmer B. Staats,
before the House Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on Civil Rights and
Constitutional Rights, chaired by Congressman Don Edwards of California.
Attachment consists of a 16-page opening statement, supplemented by
appendixes, containing: 1) a statement setting forth GAO's verification
proposal; 2) correspondence among GAC, House Judiciary Chairman
Peter W. Rodino, Jr., and Attorney General Levi, concerning GAO's
verification proposal; 3) a statement entitled, "FBI's Domestic Operations--
A Perspective," outlining the fundamental authority for FBI operations,
Bureau administrative structure and procedures, as well as statistical data
on security investigations between 1965 and 1975; and 4) a 33-page analysis
of the legal authority for FBI domestic intelligence operations.
-
GAO offered us an advance copy of Mr. Staats' testimony with the
proviso that it would accept FBI suggestions and minor corrections but
would not make any substantive alterations in the draft. We have reviewed
the draft, and GAO has made some technical changes at our suggestion.
From a substantive viewpoint, while we take exception to GAO's phraseology
in certain instances, as well as to certain factual conclusions and inferences,
our overall reading of this material is that it represents an effort on GAO's
part to present an objective picture of FBI operations.
conclusions and observationement, Mr. Staats will offer the following

2. GAO's staff which reviewed FBI-prepared case summaries
concluded that the use of summaries, supplemented by follow-up interviews
with FBI Special Agents, provided "...a good understanding of what occurred
in each investigation."
3. Because GAO's verification proposal was not adopted, it
was unable to provide Congress with full assurance of the accuracy and
completeness of summary information that the FBI provided.
4. The legal authority upon which FBI domestic intelligence
operations are based is ambiguous, and it would be appropriate for Congress
to specify such authority.
5. Legislation specifying FBI authority in the domestic security
area should address the issue of what role GAO should play in assisting
the Congress to carry out its oversight function.
The material described above comprises GAO's opening testimony
for the morning of 9/24/75. GAO has indicated that it will furnish the FBI
material prepared for delivery in the afternoon on that date when it is completed.
We expect that GAO's afternoon testimony will be considerably more detailed
and that the draft submitted to us will be more critical of FBI domestic intel-
ligence policies and practices. We will evaluate this material upon receipt.

Reference INTD memo, dated 9/18/75, captioned as above, concerning
congressional testimony on FBI domestic security intelligence investigations to
be delivered on Wednesday morning, 9/24/75, by Comptroller General Elmer B.
Staats.
Attached is draft copy of testimony prepared by GAO's staff for
delivery by Mr. Staats on Wednesday afternoon, 9/24/75. As was the case
with the draft of Mr. Staats' morning testimony, GAO has furnished this
document with the understanding that it would entertain suggestions for
minor corrections but would not make substantive alterations. We have been
informed that the attachment was prepared under an exceedingly short dead-
line. Hasty preparation is evident from our preliminary evaluation, and,
although the draft is critical of certain aspects of our domestic security intel-
ligence investigations, we do not consider this document to be an articulate
or incisive statement.
Nevertheless, the draft does raise issues which may be the
subject of follow-up inquiry, particularly with reference to investigative
sources and techniques. Under the subheading "Sources and Techniques
Used During an Investigation," on pages 8, 9, and 10, reference is made
to the use of school and telephone company employees as confidential sources,
access to postal and passport records, pretext interviews, COINTELPRO-type
activity, and surreptitious entries in cases reviewed by GAO. In addition,
reference is made at the bottom of page 9 to information derived from
electronic surveillance coverage which appeared in cases reviewed by
"GAO. However, GAO's testimony fails to indicate that the information
referred to was completely derived from overhears. Consequently,
the testimony may create an erroneous impression with respect to the
use of electronic surveillances in these cases. We are working with GAO
to have the draft altered to avoid misinterpretation with respect to the
use of electronic surveillances.

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. Wannall
Re: General Accounting Office (GAO) Review of FBI Operations
62-56866
In his afternoon testimony, Mr. Staats will make the following
observations and recommendations:
1. Few would deny the necessity for the FBI to conduct domestic
security intelligence investigations, but there should be clearer guidelines
governing their purpose and scope.
2. The Office of the Deputy Attorney General should be charged
with the responsibility for ensuring that the FBI complies with guidelines
which might be issued by the Attorney General rather than diffusing this .
responsibility among various divisions of the Department of Justice.
3. As suggested by the Rockefeller Commission, there should
be a mechanism created either in the FBI or in the Department of Justice to
evaluate and analyze the results of the FBI's domestic security intelligence
investigations.
4. Although only 16 of the 676 cases reviewed by GÃO (3 percent)
were referred to a United States Attorney for prosecutive opinion, in 43 percent
of the cases (291), the FBI was able to establish that the subject was a leader
or a member of a subversive organization or was prone to violence.
5. FBI field offices are not fully consistent in the manner in
which they conduct preliminary inquiries and frequently do not conclude
the inquiry within the allotted 90 days.
FBIHQ personnel are continuing to review the attachment, and
we anticipate consulting with GAO's staff on Monday morning, 9/22/75, to
discuss any changes deemed necessary.

On Wednesday, 9/24/75, Comptroller General Elmer B. Staats
testified in public session before the Subcommittee on Civil Rights and
Constitutional Rights of House Committee on the Judiciary. His testimony,
and that of several assisting GAO officials, was based on their preliminary
review of the FBI's domestic intelligence operations.
A copy of Mr. Staats' revised prepared testimony is attached.
The Committee convened in Room 2141 of the House Office Building
(Rayburn Building) at 9:23 a.m. Mr. Staats read his prepared testimony and
answered some questions until approximately 12:25 p.m. The Committee
reconvened for questioning at 1:52 p.m., and adjourned at 3:03 p.m.

GAO contingent, their wives and friends, there was sparse public attendance
and most of the seats in the hearing room were empty. There was limited

Re: General Accounting Office (GAO) Review of FBI Operations
62-56866
Verification
The Comptroller General read from his prepared testimony and was
interrupted occasionally for questions. The initial pertinent comments and questions
by Chairman Don Edwards were directed at eliciting a statement from Staats
that the denial of direct access to FBI files for the purpose of independent
verification was unique in GAO's audit history and that, because of this,
GAO was unable to completely assure Congress as to the accuracy of their
survey. GAO indicated they still felt that they had valid audit. They were
afforded the opportunity to interview FBỊ officials and case Agents and had
'no reason to doubt the accuracy of the summaries. They were not impuning
the motives of the FBI or the Attorney General in denying access; they under-
stood the principle involved, but insisted that verification was necessary.
Mr. Edwards mentioned the House may subpoena the necessary FBI files to
permit verification. Mr. Fogel of GAO replied that GAO would prefer the
files on which summaries were prepared be shipped to FBI Headquarters
where the GAO could conduct their random verification proposal.
GAO strenuously disagreed with Attorney General's opinion
that GAO's audit authority was limited to access for the purposes of conducting
financial audits and Congressman Edwards was critical of the Attorney General's.
failure to correspond with Congress subsequent to 6/25/75.
FBI-Prepared File Summaries
Mr. Staats stated that GAO's testimony and preliminary review
was based on 676 FBI case summaries in the Subversive and/or Extremist
field out of a projected 899 from 10 FBI field offices. In response to specific
questions from Mr. Drinan, he and Mr. Richard Fogel, GAO, indicated that
GAO had received more than the 676 summaries (they had received as of
9/24, 852 out of 899), but that in order to prepare for testimony, their analysis
was based on the 676. Drinan attempted to establish that the FBI was
delaying or dragging its feet in providing the other summaries. GAO
replied that most FBI field offices have been extremely cooperative in the
time-consuming job of preparing summaries. (GAO did not identify publicly
the FBI office which they did not consider completely cooperative--Springfield.
Because of manpower limitations and other case demands on Springfield, this

office has completed only 68 out of a projected 90 summaries. Springfield has
indicated they will make every effort to complete all 90 summaries not later
than mid-October.)
Legal Authority
GAO testified that the FBI did have legal authority to conduct domestic
intelligence investigations, but that this authority was in definite need of clarification,
as its basis is in some instances shrouded in ambiguity.
Miss Geraldine Rubar of the GAO Legal Office discussed with
precision the Presidential Directives, the 1936 Hoover memoranda and the
various statutes conferring authority. Mr. Drinan loudly stated his opinion
that the FBI was operating for forty years in this field without legal authority
and asked to be shown where the term "extremists" appeared in any Presidential
Directives or statutes. Miss Rubar replied that the term was not in vogue at the time
but that it was used by Attorney General Ramsey Clark in a 1967 memorandum to the
FBI when he ordered intensified investigation and coverage in the area of
black nationalist groups and extremists.
Mr. Drinan repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, attempted to get
Miss Rubar to state the FBI had no investigative jurisdiction in the Subversive
and Extremist field even to the point of inquiring if even one of GAO's staff
attorneys had perhaps reached that minority opinion. Miss Rubar replied
that there was agreement among GAO's legal staff that the jurisdiction was
there but was in need of clarification and updating.
Initiating Investigations
Mr. Staats testified that, from GAO's reading of the FBI Manual, there
was a degree of vagueness as to the type and amount of evidence needed to
open an FBI investigation in the Extremist and Subversive field. GAO
arbitrarily categorized cases into those opened on the basis of hard,
medium or a soft degree of evidence and said 36 percent of the 676 cases

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. Wannall
Re: General Accounting Office (GAO) Review of FBI Operations
62-56866
Congressmen Dodd, Drinan and Badello expressed specific
interest in the "soft" area. In response to their queries, GAO Auditor Fogel
listed several instances where, based on summaries, GAO believed the
opening of preliminary inquiries by the FBI field offices was subject to
Iquestion. Among these were:
1. An instance where cases were opened on two individuals
on information provided the FBI by local police that two high school youths
were present in the courtroom at a trial of an extremist. (There was no
indication by GAO in their testimony as to whether the police had identified
these individuals as high school youths, or whether the preliminary inquiries
conducted by the FBI so identified them.)
2. An instance where the FBI opened a case on a husband and
wife on the basis of having seen their license plate outside the home of a
**New Left functionary where a social party was in progress. (Again, there
was no indication by GAO in the testimony as to whether the FBI knew it was
a social party at the time the preliminaries were opened or determined this
..subsequently.)
3. A case was opened on an individual who expressed an interest
in applying for membership in a group considered extremist or subversive by
the FBI.
4. A case was opened on an individual who telephoned a member
of an extremist group.
5. A case was opened on a person who parked his car outside a
convention of a subversive/extremist organization..
6. A case was opened as a result of a mail cover on an individual
who corresponded with a national officer of a black extremist organization.
7. A case was opened on an individual who attended a meeting of
the press committee of a subversive organization.

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. Wannall
Re: General Accounting Office (GAO) Review of FBI Operations
62-56866
All of the above were enumerated as examples of FBI field office
exercising judgment and discretion in opening cases based on "soft" evidence.
Congressman Badillo took loud exception to this and said he saw no basis for
opening cases in any of these instances and referred to them as "no basis" cases
I rather than soft.
GAO advised they were not prepared to make a positive recommendation
on these cases (36 percent) at this time but, in their final report, they would
address this issue. GAO indicated it could be an area where the FBI might review
and more carefully define criteria.
Organizations
Congressman Drinan took exception to the use of terms in the
FBI Manuals, such as extremists and black and white hate groups. He stated
these are basically people pursuing their goal of racial justice. He then asked
for GAO to list some of these organizations which the FBI characterized as
"Extremist." Mr. Fogel then named the following:
The Ku Klux Klan
The Minuteman
The American Nazi Party
The Black Panther Party
The Nation of Islam
--
Mr. Drinan made no further comment on this subject.
Preliminary Inquiries
GAO pointed out that 73 percent of the preliminary inquiries
received went beyond the 90-day FBI Manual limitation and that in 68 percent
of these cases, FBIHQ was not advised and had no opportunity to review or
possibly terminate the investigation. Congressmen Dodd and Drinan claimed
the FBI was, therefore, not following its own rules. GAO offered no
explanations as to why field offices might go over the 90-day limit, such
as matters requiring special investigative effort and attention, such as the
bombing cases, Hearst case, Pine Ridge Indian case, which affected offices
under audit.

Programs, Sources and Techniques
GAO enumerated the programs, investigative aids, sources,
and the techniques utilized in FBI investigations. For the most part,
these elicited no abnormal interest, but it was apparent the Committee will
follow this subject in GAO's final report and in the event any FBI officials are
invited to testify, they will be subject to intensive questioning on COINTELPRO,
surreptitious entry, and mail openings.
Regarding sources, Driņan critically referred to "the Army of
informants" and wanted numbers and payment figures which GAO could not
supply. Drinan also expressed interest in Counterintelligence (Espionage)
Matters which GAO declined to discuss and stated it was not a part of their
mandate to review those matters.
Miscellaneous
The Committee inquired as to why the FBI was unable to provide
mone precise accounting figures on time and resources devoted to specific.
areas. Mr. Staats advised that in his experience with other agencies, the
FBI's position was unusual; but that it was an organization which required
flexibility and SACs had to be able to shift resources on a short notice:
He indicated there apparently had been no prior need in the FBI for the
modern management accounting system, but that one was now under development.
GAO witnesses followed the prepared text with respect to Depart-
mental guidance, Attorney General's guidelines, dissemination of information,
file maintenance and destruction, the Rockefeller Commission's recommendation
for the development of an analytical capability for domestic intelligence matters.
In the opinion of the writer, the tone of questions and statements
of Messrs. Drinan and Badillo were very critical of the FBI, and on occasion .
that of Mr. Dodd's. These Congressmen repeatedly attempted to put words
in the Comptroller General's mouth and to twist his statements to their own
liking. Basically, Mr. Staats and the GAO witnesses stuck to their prepared
statement and their amplification was in basic support of this statement.

Re: General Accounting Office (GAO) Review of FBI Operations

In particular, these critics attempted to get Mr. Staats to state
that, in view of the few statistics pointing toward prosecution and conviction,
that the FBI's investigative effort in the domestic intelligence field was a waste
of taxpayers' money. Mr. Staats refused to so state and indicated that the cost
effectiveness of FBI coverage and penetration of subversive and extremist groups
was very difficult to measure. He said one could not tell how much violence
was deterred by FBI coverage or the knowledge on the part of subversives
and extremist leaders that their identities were known and activities were
under FBI scrutiny.
.
News media coverage diminished by more than half after the
noon recess. The writer overheard one media reporter state to a TV
technician they had the option of returning to cover the afternoon session,
(but they were not because "it was another Drinan circus.”
The Committee thanked Mr. Staats and GAO for their "excellent"
report and indicated they anticipated receipt of the completed written report
in November, 1975.

WITH RESPECT TO INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC)
Reference is made to the testimony of FBI Director
Clarence M. Kelley before the SSC on December 10, 1975. During
this testimony, certain questions arose on which answers were
deferred. Set forth hereinafter are the unanswered questions
along with the responses thereto.
Senator Howard H. Baker, Jr., inquired as to Director
Kelley's feeling concerning an Inspector General concept
extending Governmentwide.. Senator Baker asked the Director to
think about the question and furnish his thoughts at a later
date. Upon reflection and consideration of the question,
Director Kelley has decided it would be inappropriate for him,
as Director of the FBI, to comment concerning the need for a
national Inspector General as it would affect any agency other
than the FBI.
Senator Gary Hart stated that although higher
authorities had been alerted to the existence of Counterintel-
ligence Programs (COINTELPROS) in one or two instances, in
terms of the bulk of the Programs there was no systematic
information flowing upward through the chain of command to
former Director Hoover's superiors. Specifically, Senator Hart
indicated the SSC had received testimony that the existence of
the COINTELPRO effort against the New Left had not been made
known to higher authorities and asked if Director Kelley had
any information in this regard. Director Kelley asked for an
opportunity to substantiate the notification provided by former
Director Hoover to higher authorities.

U. S. Senate Select Committee
to Study Governmental Operations
With Respect to Intelligence Activities (SSC)
While no systematic report was made on a regular basis
by former Director Hoover regarding COINTELPRO activities,
information regarding the COINTELPROS was periodically provided
to his superiors in the Executive and Legislative Branches. FBI
files contain considerable documentation clearly establishing
no effort was made by Director Hoover to conceal from superior
authorities the fact the FBI was engaged in neutralizing and
disruptive tactics against revolutionary and violence-prone
groups. This documentation is as follows:
1. Briefing of the President. On November 6, 1958,
Director Hoover presented to President Dwight Eisenhower and the
Cabinet an oral briefing entitled "Current Communist Subversion
and Espionage in the United States, 1958." Included in the
presentation material was a description of the Bureau's effort to
"intensify any confusion and dissatisfaction among its (Communist
Party, USA) members." Use of informants was cited as a technique.
to further this goal. This particular effort was referred to as
one of several programs to counteract resurgence of Communist
Party influence in the United States. In November, 1974, former
Assistant to the Director Cartha D. DeLoach advised he recalled
very clearly briefing President Lyndon B. Johnson regarding the
Bureau's activities against black militants.
2. Notification of White House. In 1958, a letter was.
sent to Presidential Aide Robert Cutler at the White House
specifically advising that our COINTELPRO directed against the
Communist Party had been initiated in August, 1956, and citing
examples of techniques utilized. In 1965, a letter was directed
to Presidential Aide Marvin Watson at the White House advising
him this Bureau was seizing every opportunity to disrupt the Klan.
3. Notification of Secretary of State. In 1961,
a letter enclosing a memorandum setting forth examples of
COINTELPRO actions directed against the Communist Party was sent
to Secretary of State Dean Rusk.

U. S. Senate Select Committee

With Respect to Intelligence Activities (SSC)
4. Notification of Attorneys General. A letter was
directed to Attorney General William Rogers in 1958 specifically
advising him our COINTELPRO had been initiated against the
Communist Party in August, 1956, and citing examples of techniques
utilized. In 1961, a letter was directed to Attorney General
Robert Kennedy enclosing a memorandum citing examples of COINTELPRO
actions directed against the Communist Party. In 1965, a letter
was sent to Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach advising him
the FBI was seizing every opportunity to disrupt the Ku Klux Klan.
Attorney General Ramsey Clark was furnished, in 1967, a letter which
enclosed a detailed memorandum outlining our efforts to neutralize
and disrupt the Ku Klux Klan. In September, 1969, Attorney
General John Mitchell was advised of our efforts to disrupt the
Klan. Additionally, former Assistant to the Director DeLoach
advised in November, 1974, he had briefed former Attorney General
Ramsey Clark regarding the various COINTELPROS and he also
expressed the opinion that former Assistant to the Director
Alan II. Belmont or former Assistant to the Director William C.
Sullivan had briefed Attorney General Katzenbach.
5. Notification of Congress. Bureau files reveal that
detailed information concerning the COINTELPROS was prepared for
off-the-record use by former Director Hoover in connection with
several appearances before the House Subcommittee on
Appropriations. Material concerning the COINTELPROS was prepared
for the Director's use in connection with Appropriations testimony
for the fiscal years 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1963, 1966 and 1967.
All this material was clearly marked for off-the-record discussion.
Published transcripts of hearings by the House Subcommittee on
Appropriations contain notations that on at least six occasions
between 1958 and 1966, off-the-record discussions took place at
those points in Mr. Hoover's prepared remarks dealing with the
COINTELPROS. Former Assistant to the Director John P. Mohr
advised in November, 1974, he recalled the Director on several
occasions had furnished details to the House Subcommittee on
Appropriations relating to FBI COINTELPROS. In November, 1974,
Assistant to the Director Nicholas P. Callahan advised he, too,
recalled several instances involving off-the-record discussion

U. S. Senate Select Committee

With Respect to Intelligence Activities (SSC)
by the Director with members of the House Subcommittee regarding
this Bureau's efforts to neutralize groups and organizations
involved and that there was no critical comment made in regard
thereto.
An FBI Headquarters supervisor who was assigned
responsibility for COINTELPRO matters during the period 1964
to 1967 recalls that on a number of occasions he was required
to prepare informal memoranda and summaries relating to COINTELPRO
actions. It was his understanding this material was to be
utilized by Director Hoover in connection with briefings of
various Government officials.
A review of FBI files has not located any document
indicating higher authority was formally advised of the existence
of the COINTELPRO effort directed against revolutionary New Left
elements. It should be pointed out the program that targeted
the New Left was only in existence during the period 1968 to
1971 (35 months) and only 285 actions were approved, which
represent approximately 12 percent of all actions approved in the
basic COINTELPROS. Additionally, during the time period of the
New Left program this Bureau was engaged in extensive reporting
and dissemination of information relating to activities and
violence perpetrated by revolutionary elements, including the
so-called New Left.
The Chairman, Senator Frank Church, inquired as to how
much time and money is being spent by the FBI in conducting
investigations on possible Presidential appointments to Federal
offices, plus any other information which would indicate what
proportion of the FBI's time and effort was absorbed in this kind
of activity. Senator Church also asked the Director to supply
the number of such investigations conducted each year beginning
with 1970 and also information as to what offices are now
covered by such investigations.

The FBI conducts investigations under the Federal
Employee Security Program pursuant to Executive Orders 10450
and 10422. Executive Order 10450 became effective May 28, 1953,
and sets forth security requirements for employment in the
Executive Branch. The purpose of the Federal Employee Security
Program is to insure that the employment and retention in
employment of any civilian in the Executive Branch is clearly
consistent with the interests of the national security.
At the request of the White House, investigations are
conducted concerning Presidential appointees and White House
personnel. At the request of Cabinet officers, investigations

At the request of the Department of Justice, investiga-
tions are conducted concerning Departmental Applicants for
Presidential appointments and professional positions such as
Federal Judges, United States Attorneys, and other legal positions.
In addition, investigations are conducted for the Administrative
Office of the United States Courts concerning applicants for the
positions of United States Magistrate, Federal Public Defender,
Referee in Bankruptcy, Federal Court Executive, and Probation
Officer. Also investigations are conducted concerning persons who
have applied for pardons after completion of sentences upon being
convicted of felonies in the United States District Courts.

Investigations are also conducted of personnel who
have sensitive positions with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
and the Energy Research and Development Administration (formerly
the Atomic Energy Commission).
In connection with all of these investigations, we
report the facts developed and furnish the results to the
requesting agency without any comment or recommendation or any
evaluation of the facts developed.
The costs involved concerning investigations on behalf
of the White House, Congressional Staff Committees, Department
of Justice, and Applications for Pardon After Completion of
Sentence, as well as cases referred to the FBI under various
public laws, are included in the overall FBI budget. In all other
investigations charges are made. The current rates for these
charges, which became effective on October 12, 1975, are listed
below. For Fiscal Year 1975, expenditures for these investigations
amounted to approximately $6,760,000 of which slightly over
$3,000,000 was reimbursed from other agencies. It is to be noted
the costs of these investigations fluctuate from year to year
dependent upon changes in salary, travel, and other expenses.

In early 1975, at the request of the SSC and the House
Select Committee on Intelligence Activities (HSC), we began
conducting applicant-type investigations of personnel assigned
to these committees and also of applicants for positions with these
committees. Through January 6, 1976, we have conducted 160 such
investigations received from the SSC and 39 received from the
HSC. Although no charges have been made, the costs involved at
the current rate would be $338,720 for the SSC and $82,563 for
the HSC, for a total of $421,283.
Pursuant to Constitutional Amendment 25, approved in
1967, the President requested an investigation in October of
1973, concerning Gerald R. Ford for the appointment to Vice
President. Then in August, 1974, an investigation was conducted
at the request of the President concerning Nelson Aldrich
Rockefeller, Vice President-Designate. Thus, for the first time
in the history of the United States Government, an applicant-type
investigation was conducted concerning the President and Vice
President. These were the most extensive investigations ever
conducted by the FBI. of an applicant-type nature.
The investigations handled by the FBI are limited to
existing law, executive order, or by special agreement with the
President and/or the Attorney General. They are not routine and
it is not believed they should be or could be eliminated.

Where possible, steps have been taken to insure that these cases
are kept to an absolute minimum. It is noted prior to July,
1973, the FBI conducted investigations concerning nonprofessional
positions in connection with Departmental applicant/U. S. Court
applicant investigations, such as general clerical personnel.
It was determined and agreed upon that these investigations could
be handled by the Civil Service Commission and, therefore, they
were transferred to that agency.
A manpower utilization survey conducted during March,
1975, disclosed that 2.3% of field investigative time by FBI
personnel was being devoted to these applicant-type investigations
conducted for other Government agencies. This low percentage
is indicative of the Bureau's efforts to hold down applicant-
type work to that essential and necessary to meet our various
commitments in this field, We have and will continue to oppose
legislation seeking to involve the FBI in routine applicant-type
investigations.

NOTE:
Senator Baker's question re Inspector General appears
on pages 2473 and 2474 of the galley draft of Director Kelley's
testimony. It is felt the answer given is proper in that any
comment made re Inspector General concept governing other agencies
would, in fact, be a comment on behalf of the Director regarding
conditions existing in and/or needs of oversight, etc., of other
agencies which could be misconstrued. Senator Hart's questions
concerning COINTELPRO are contained on pages 2498 and 2499 of the
proof and Senator Church's questions appear on pages 2506, 2507
and 2508 of the proof. This matter has been coordinated by the
Senstudy Project with Legal Counsel Division, Section IS-2 of
INTD and the Employee Security and Special Inquiry Section of
the Special Investigative Division.

Jaffe is a former New York Office informant
who was a correspondent for CBS and ABC. While with ABC.
he was stationed in Moscow from 1961 to 1965. During this
assignment he was compromised by the KGB through a
relationship he had with a Soviet female and because of a
car accident. Jaffe reported the subsequent recruitment
effort by the KGB to both the U. S. Embassy and to
New York. He admitted to New York that he had a continuing
relationship in Moscow with several KGD officers, but
denied that he furnished them anything. In 1964, a Soviet
defector reported that Jaffe had been recruited by the KGB
in about 1961 and thereafter furnished the KGB with
information about other Americans in Moscow. Our investigation,
including two intensive interviews of Jaffe, neither
substantiated or refuted the defector's allegation.
Our evaluation of Jaffe's relationship with the
KGB is that after his admitted compromise he undoubtedly
cooperated to a degree, simply to avoid being expelled
from Moscow because of the damage it would have caused
to his then advancing career. He was eventually expelled
in 1965, ostensibly because of an unfavorable article
written by ABC Correspondent John Scali about the Soviet
leadership. We have never uncovered any evidence that
Jaffe assisted the KGB after he left Moscow. ~

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. Wannall
Re: Sam A. Jaffe
105-28333
Jaffe filed a Freedom of Information Act request
in 1975 for all information in our files, claiming that
the FBI or CIA had leaked an allegation that he was a KGB
agent, which has prevented him from obtaining employment
in the media field. His claim is not substantiated by
anything contained in our files. Both the Senate and House
Committees on Intelligence Operations have taken an interest
in his case and we have furnished both Committees with excised
copies of Jaffe's file.
The "Washington Star Nows" issue of 1/22/76, carried
an article reporting an interview of Jaffe by a "New York Times"
↑ reporter in which Jaffe related he had been an unpaid FBI
informant during the 1950s and 1960s, reporting on his contacts
with Soviet nationals. *The article is generally factual and
does not touch on Jaffe's allegation as to a leak. On 1/21/76,
Jaffe telephoned SA Richard Kinsey of the Intelligence Division
(SA Kinsey had participated in an interview of Jaffe on 11/24/75,
on Deputy Associate Director Adams' instructions to hear out
Jaffe's allegations). Jaffe was concerned because an unnamed
"New York Times" reporter had interviewed him on the same day
and inferred he had information that Jaffe was a paid FBI
informant. Jaffe wanted to know if we had so advised either the
Senate or House Committees since the reporter claimed to have
seen documentation that Jaffe had received money from the FBI.
Jaffe was advised that he could not be furnished information
as to what we had furnished the Committees but that he knew
Whether or not he had received money from us. Jaffe said that
he was concerned that we had leaked additional derogatory
information concerning him.
While it is possible that the "New York Times"
reporter has had access to Jaffe's file as furnished to the
Senate or House Committees, it is not believed that we have
sufficient evidence of this in order to make a complaint to
either Committee, based only on what Jaffe reported as to
the reporter's background for his inquiry of Jaffe.
* Our records disclose that Jaffe was never paid, either for
services or expenses during the period he was operated as a
symbol number informant✓

Dear2.r. Chair_can:
t
You will recall that by letter to me of January 27, 1975,
from Senate Lajority Leader like fansfield and inority Leader Luch
Scott, we were advised of the Cenate's plan to conduct an investigation
and study of intelligence activities by Government agencies. The scope
of the study was defined in Cenate Resolution 21 of the 94th Congress.
The letter specifically requested that we not destroy or otherwise
dispose of any records or documents which might have a bearing on
the subjects under investigation or relating to the matters specified
in Cection 2 of Cenate resolution 21. That rection of the Desolution
described the Cenate's extensive interest in the do restic intelligenco,
as well as forei;n counterintelligence, activities of Executive Branch
agencies, including the 1DI.
In accommodation of that request of the leadership of
the United Ctates Cenate, I imediately issued instructions to all
offices and divisions of this Lureau establishing a moratoriu on the
destruction of all records of whatever description. In retromect, I
now reel that the moratoriu a need not have been as all-enco passin
as that, but this was done to assure that there codd be no question of
by intention for the if to comply fully with the request with regard
to the preservation of relevant records in which the Senate it develop
an interest.

Honorable Frank Church
It is now almost one year since the inception of the
Coratoriu a on our regular records destruction progra. For your
Information, our regular destruction prograd, as approved by the
National Archives and Eccords Cervice, is designed to prevent retention
of masses of records well beyond the period during which they may serve
a useful purpose. Further, our records destruction program, as
approved by the National Archivist, permits the destruction of those
records which are deemed to no longer possess evidentiary, intelligence,
or historical value. The oratorius, which was not expected to last as
long as it has, has created substantial administrative burdens not only
at FBI Headquarters but throughout our 59 field offices. The suspension
of sound records management and file destruction practices in many areas
is causing very substantial space and storage problems.
I, therefore, now propose, with your concurrence, to
resuue that portion of our records destruction program which, in reality,
could not have been contemplated by the Senate leadership's request in
the first instance. We would continue the destruction moratoriu i on all
classifications of files which would fall within the general description of
'security files." These would encompass all files on domestic intelligence
matters, extremist mattera, racial matters, as well as foreign counter-
intelligence subject matters. We would, with regard to such security
Hatters," destroy duplicative material only.
1
The matters that we propose to resume routine destruction
of, in accordance with our previously established Records Retention I lan,
are the following: filles relating to criminal investigations, suitability or
applicant-type investigations, correspondence files, and files of an
administrative nature generally. Should you or any members of your
Committee express an interest for our continued retention of any record
material other than as specified herein, you cay be assured that such a
request would receive every consideration.

Honorable Frank Church
I do hope that you are able to express concurrence in
the proposals herein since the file destruction moratorium has produced
substantial administrative burdens for us. Ilease also accept my assurance
of our continued full cooperation with you and your Committee.

Dear Mike:
Information has come to the attention of the
Committee which indicates the possibility that the FBI
conducted heretofore undisclosed electronic surveillance
of personnel of the executive office of the President
(possibly a Deputy Director of the Budget Bureau) and that
this information was included on a list of names of persons
subject to FBI electronic surveillance prepared for Attorney
General Elliot Richardson in or about July 1973.
Therefore, the Committee requests all material
in the possession of the Justice Department or the FBI
which may bear on the above. Please notify me by phone
when any such material may be available.

On December 3, 1975, Douglas Frank Durham, who
confidentially furnished information to the FBI concerning
extremist activities of the American Indian Movement (AIM)
until publicly identified as an FBI informant in March, 1975,
contacted our Minneapolis Division and furnished information
which should be brought to your attention.
"
He said on May 7, 1975, he was interviewed by
Patrick Shea and Mary DeOreo, investigators for the Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence Operations, who indicated
strong desire to discredit the FBI and asked if he, Durham,
could "come up with some dirt" on the FBI because there was
strong support to "nail the FBI to the cross.' This interview
took place in the Washington, D. C., office of Reverend John
Adams of the United Methodist Church. Adams, who was present
during the interview, paid Durham transportation and other
expenses, plus $125 in testimony fees. Adams appeared to be
very anxious to "personally smear the FBI.'
"
Adams has previously described by Luther as
REPST 62-116395-1308
a nonmember advisor to AIM.
ST-111
5 JAN 30 1976
Durham said during the initial interview he got
the impression that Don Rothberg, 2021 "K" Street, N. W.,
Dep. AD Adm. Washington, D. C., a reporter for the Associated Press,
was very close to the investigative Staff of Senator Frank
Church's Committee. He said Rothberg later traveled to
Des Moines, Iowa, and reviewed Durham's 'conversation with
the Senate investigators, at which time Rothberg informed
Durham that "I feel as they do. We have to control these
police departments and the FBI."
