l..Reference is made to our provious convorsations conccrning the use of certain individuals as special consultants to Bluebird. In this' connoction, this office feels that the abovo individuals have knowledge of a apecialized type which would be of valuo to future. Bluebird operations. Details and proposed uge of these individuals follow:

criminal caaeg \_and experimentally H.Bl6 n this field and, if you will recali, Pis an individunl sno has heen considered for-aaplomont by cih orrice. which is connected aith the has an outitanding roputatlon in criminal invostigation antd allled work and their files have heon reported as boing fillod with material which would bo ol' use to Hllucbird oporations.

5. It is, therofor?, respcctfuliy suggosteu that congideration bo given to authorizingdey bf tho Plucbird staff to visit nnd conoult with boti and wit-s, using whatever covor is necessary or, if possible, having thoa sccurity cleared and permittinz dlirect conversations with those individuals. It is further suggested that the Gpeclal Security livision to instructed to run the neceusary investigation on uitha viow towards uging him as a conaultant bytat esince the trip to er could bo extennd to without much inconvonienco and additional expense.

While it is belioved that these tireg indivituals could bo approached using sona cover, it is folt that aecurity clearance in nach case would be much more advisable since the thrco men listod alove are highly intelligent specialists, and vould probably guess the trun naturo of tho visit even though well covered. In addltion, if security clearance ware granted these individuols and secrecy agfeeronts cbtained, it is felt that their co-operation would be far greateithan could re obtained if only cover were used.
