BUREAU MICROPHONE SURVEILLANCES
st ;

fl Information has been received confidentially that

n wy, with regard to the microphone tapes that former Attorney General

. Robert F. Kennedy heard in the New York and Chicago Offices,

| that Kennedy contemplates saying he thought they were police
department tapes, not FBI tapes,

In order to refute such a statement by Kennedy,
affidavits have been taken from fourteen investigative employees
who were key personnel engaged in the Criminal Intelligence
Program and for this reason were present at briefings given
Kennedy in the New York and Chicago Offices.

l vs
The affidavits taken from New York Office personnel
clearly indicate that a conference was held on November 4, :
1963, in the New York Office attended by former Attorney General
Kennedy and other Department of Justice officials, at which
time the organized crime program was discussed, These affidavits
reveal that in order to demonstrate to Kennedy the type of informa-

4 tion obtained in this program a tape recording of a conversation
y between was played.
‘ Mr. Kennedy was advised that this conversation was obtained by

the FBI from "one of our highly confidential sourc.s." At the
conclusion of the playing of that tape, Kennedy inquired, "Is
this the best equipment that you have?" These affidavits also
gxefer to the fact that because of the difficulty in understanding
every word on the tape recording a verbatim transcript was given
to Kennedy so that he could follow the conversation by reading
yyit as well as listening to it. No mention was made at this
conference that this information came from the police or from
\[ss tapping procedures.

This protest is aimed not at Robert Kennedy as an individual,
but rather at the political philosophy he rcpresents. The American ..
People hive been deceived into believing that this man offers a .

- “liberal” alternative to the policies of the Johnson Administration. .
.To be sure, he offers the Amcrican people different words than - .
President Johnson does, but his actions do not support his words, ~.
and his philosophy, the philosophy of liberalism, 1s founded on the,
same faulty assumptions which are the source of our present problems.;

The case of Victnam 1s probably the most clear-cut, as well as ,
the most urgent, example of the deception and self-deception that is
the stuff of American liberalism. Senator Kennedy has expressed
“reservations* over the bombing of North Vietnam, but he continues
to vote for the appropriations which keep the bombs falling. Kennedy .
is "concerned" about the troop build-up in South Vietnam, but today
he sits at the same platform as more-war candidate Duncan, a rubber=
stamp supporter of Johnson policies. More important than his incon=
Sistencies, however, 1s nis misplaced emphisis. Kennedy is concerned
more with how many bombs fall than why they are falling. He does not
ask the question why Americans are fighting and dying in Vietnam, He
does not ask the question why the Vietnimese have continued to fight
against foreign domination for the past 20 years - first against —  _
Imperial Japan (as our allies), then against Colonial France, and now
Against Anti-Communist Americn. He does not ask the question why : "
America has set itself up as the policeman of the world or why America: .-_
his opposed itself to revolutions all over the world. Robert Kennedy .- .
does not ask these questions hecnuse he cannot or will not escape the.”
simplistic assumptions concerning the world with which “liberals” ce
delude themselves. To the "liberal" the world 1s composed of “good
guys" and "bad guys". Just like in the westerns, the “bad guys" and
the "good guys" can be told apirt by the hats they wear, the hats of
communism and anti-communism. Anyone who wears the hint of anti- .
communism 1s our friend, whether the anti-~communism Je racist as in 7
: South Africa, fascist as in Sp.in, or a military dictatorship as ‘in
§ South Vietnam. Similarly, those who wear the hat of communism ~ or -
i anything that faintly resembles it - are treated with complete dis-

approval, if not outright hostility. It matters little that,’program
of those we rient in Vietnam (the National Liberation Front) has .
wide popularity, a fact that 1s even admitted by the military govern~

4 ment which we support in Victnam,

ST FE tl ah TOF AE RN

While atiitary war is raying in Asia, there is another war going ..
on in this country, It 1s © war that we cannot hope to win so long
Os we embrace the “Liberal” attitude that human dignity can be bought
with a welfare check. The "liucvals" in this country have begun a
“yar on poversy"; a war that is to be fought with two percent of the-
funds that are going into the wir in Asin, a war that is directed .
from afar, cather than from the biattleficlds of the slums. The stu--
pidtity of ts policy 1s turning the slums and the ghettos into .

At 3:30 p.m. today, Assistant aeewhes General Rogovin, -
Tax Division, was interviewed at his office by Section Chief -- .
McAndrews and me. Rogovin furnished the attached memorandum, 14
st which the Department proposes to file in the Supreme Cow t today,
and asked that it be reviewed by Bureau representatives. This
. is the third version of this proposed memorandum.

“)
|
. Basically, this memorandum is the same as the second SY

. version concerning which our views were furnished to the Depart— TM
ment by letter dated May 23. There is a significant difference. ~
On Page 4, footnote 4 states, "Incidents similar to that described —
in this memorandum will not recur." It then goes on to state =
that longstanding policies of the Department of Justice required ‘
Attorney General authorization for wiretapping but until recently
such authorization was not required concerning other types of aN
listening devices. It further states that since early 1965, Lo
use of listening devices has been strictly confined to collection .
of intelligence affecting national security and then only with, “
Attorney General written authorization. .

This footnote gives a definite impression that the
Bureau was operating independently when we employed listening -
devices. Rogovin was told definitely that we object vehemently
to this footnote. He was emphatically toi that we had
Attorney General authorization from Robert ‘Kennedy for use of
this type device. (General authority in organized crime cases.
No Specific authority in this case.)

General} Rogovin and Spritzer of the Solicitor General's Office,

General that footnote 4, page 4 of the revised memorandum was - .

STATEMENT REGARDING MEMBERSHIP OF FBI AGENTS =f
IN EXTREMIST GROUPS oe :

A United Press International news item on 12- 1-66
reported that Senator Robert F. Kennedy had stated on December Ist .
that he is opposed to FBI or Secret Service Agents joining organizations,
such as the John Birch Society because of their "special responsibilities
in the field of national security." The story stated that Kennedy, “in
discussing "extremism in America" in a booklet published by the .
American Jewish Committee, stated he did not "think it wise to allow
members of any extremist group'to serve in any security forces.

The Director stated in this regard, “If any inquiry,
indicate the Senator has no basis for mentioning FBI as no FBI Agents
Selong to Birch Society. H." "Also write American Jewish Committee
and tell them they might have checked with FBI first as no Agents
belong to John Birch Society. H."

It is to be noted inquiries from United Press International
. aad Associated Press were received by your (Mr. Wick's) office on the
! citernoon of 12~1-66 concerning this matter. Both were advised in
{accordance with the Director's instructions.

The booklet mentioned in this news report is entitle
‘Extremism in America Today, " and it was issued by the American

Memorandum to Mr. DeLoach
- Re: Robert F. Kennedy

The affidavits from Chicago Office personnel reveal
that a conference was held in the Chicago Office on Harch 19,
1963, for the purpose of briefing Attorney General Kennedy on
the organized crime picture in Chicago. ‘This conference was
attended by other Departmental officials including William
Hundley, Chief, Organized Crime and Racketeering Section. ;
During this conference, Kennedy was advised that the Chicago ~
Office of the FBI had made a tape recording of conversations —
obtained from a microphone placed

{ This tape recording was played
4U his recording contained a discussion

yollowing the conclusion of the playing of this tape recording,
a@ question concerning the location of this microphone was asked
by Hr, Hundley. The Attorney General commented he did not feel
he wanted to be in a position to know this information.
Another question directed by Hir. Hundley concerned whether or

not this was a legal or an illegal microphone and before the Hq
question was answered the Attorney General commented, "They f
are all illegal.” Prior to the end of the conference, Kennedy b3
asked if the information obtained from the tape had been furnished

to the Chicago Police Department. As a matter of information, H
that data, together with similar information obtained from other e
sources, was made available to the United States Attorney, EF

Chicago, in paraphrased form, who furnished it to the Chicago
Police Department.

Attached for the Director's information.is one copy
of an affidavit from a New Yark Agent and one copy of an
affidavit from a Chicago Agent both of which are representative.

I told Rogers that Katzenbach's claims were absolutely false
and this represented further evidence that he was protecting himself —
and someone else. Mr. Rogers asked if we had proof, over and above
verbal conversations. I replied in the affirmative and then showed
hin in rapid order: (1) The Kennedy signature memorandum of 8/17/61
concerning the New York Telephone Company; (2) The Assistant AG
Miller letter of 5/25/61, to Senator Sam Ervin, which told of the
specific number of microphones and wiretaps in usage by the FBI;

(3) The memorandum to Deputy AG White, dated 5/4/61, which not only
advised of the usage of microphones but specifically outlined the
necessity of trespass; (4) The Internal Revenuc memorandum of 2/15/61
which reflected

QM 206 (5) The various Evans memoranda which cle utlined

the enthusiasm of Kennedy regarding FBI usage of microphones.

SAREE Sta i

I told Mr. Rogers of Kennedy listening to wicrophone
tape recordings in both Chicago and New York. At this, point I asked
Mr. Malone to describe the incident in New York wherein Kennedy not
only listened to the tape recording but complained of the quality
of equipment utilized by the FBI. Malone described this in detail.

These affidavits also refer to the fact that because of the 3.
difficulty in understanding everyvord on the tape recording a =
verbatim transcript was given to Kennedy so that he could “4
follow the conversation by reading it as well as listening to ~*
it. No mention was made at‘this conference that this informa-

This article concerns the disclosures by Solicitor General
Thurgood Marshall before the Supreme Court on 7-13-66 in which he reported

that the FBI, in planting electronic listening devices in some major criminal |
investigations, had acted under the authority of the Department of Justice.

The article relates that Marshall said the Departmental practice of authorizing

points out that this included the period when Robert Kennedy was Attorney General ~s
It is made clear by this article that the Director was acting under Departmentg] nw
authorization and that this continued until June, 1965, when these devices we:

had been misinformed concerning Mr. Kennedy's knowledge of the use
of electronic listening devices by the FBI < ..g his tenure as Attorney ~
General in 1961-64, Senator Kennedy's statement arached a letter

Mr. Hoover said it is absolutely inconceivable the: either

out that official reco-ds of the FBI not only reflect discussions between

Memorandum to Mr. DeLoach Ce ~
Re: Vire Tapping and Eavesdropping Legislation yt

thus “opexs ‘the door to indiscriminate tapping because it
seldom possible to prove disclosure or use. :

Dering his testizony, Miller referred toa companio
bill, S. 1221, which also dealt with the subject of wire taps,
but was broad enough to encompass possible eavesdropping ’
activities. With reference-to this bill, Miller made the —_
following statement to the subcommittee:

"S, 1221 raises the very broad and generalized problem

of eavesdropping. It is the considered opinion of the Dapart~

{ nent of Justice that this problem, although properly of concern
to this subcommittee and to the Department as well, should not ;
be allowed to dilute the concentration of effort upon the problem
of wiretapping. We in the Department are studying the problem of
eavesdropping and would suggest that until this area with all its

; ramifications is carefully explored, legislation should not be
enacted. A few years' experience under a statute lixited to

\wiretapping might furnish useful lessons." :

At another point during questions asked by the sub-
{connittee, Miller was queried as to whether he had any feeling
that an eavesdropping bill was necessary or desirable. He
answered by stating that the Department had the matter under
discussion and were studying it, but at the time ot the hearings,

group at the University of Michigan (U-M), Ann Arbor, sgnieen
this date, formulated plans to demonstrate against Senator
__. Robert Kennedy at Eastern Michigan University (EMU), Ypsilanti,
Michigan, on October 29, 1966.

The source noted that Kennedy’s intention to visit
EMU, Ypsileaci, on behalf of Congressman Wes Vivian of Ann arbor,
Michigan, was announced on October 27, 1966, The source advised
that groups engaged in Viet-Nam protest activities at the U-M .
have stated their disenchantment with Congressman Vivian be-
cause he has not taken a strong stand against the Viet-Nam war.
y have developed a "Write-In" peace candidate :for the office
4 by Vivian. These groups, he said, recognize that the
vewes their "Write-In" candidate will draw may be sufficient

from him, he replied "I did not." He was next asked if that meant that -
wire taps were made by someone at the Department of Justice without .
his knowledge. Kennedy answered, "Well, if there were any wire taps

that took place outside of national security cases, then they were."

Asked if this might mean the FBI was doing some wire tapping that he
didn't know about, Senator Kennedy replied, ‘Well, I expect maybe some
of those facts are going to be developed. The only time I authorized or
was ever requested to authorize wire tapping was in connection with .
national security cases under an arrangement that originally had been

made by President Roosevelt and Attorney General Biddle. " E

In connection with civil rights discussions, the Senator stated.
he supports the President and the Attorney General and, as to be expected,
he expressed great confidence in Attorney General Katzenbach, He
indicated he feels there is a danger of a racial explosion in the big cities
this summer and that it is not our promises which have failed but rather
the Negro's expectations.

Kennedy was also asked whether he authorized FBI wire taps
| of gamblers‘ telephones in Las Vegas in 1962 and 1963. He replied "NoI »
did not." He was then asked if he ever authorized any wire taps’ as Attorney

FROM : J, H. Gale”

suyecr:; ROBERT F.-KENNEDY . ft ieee
BUREAU MICROPHONE SURVEILLANCES (- fp) *
. . ~

Information has been received confidentially that
with regard to th: microphone tapes that former Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy heard in the New York and Chicago Offices,
that Kennedy contemplated saying he thought they were police
department tapes, not. FBI tapes.

In order to refute such a statement by Kennedy,
affidavits have been taken from “fifteen investigative employees
who were key personnel engaged in the Criminal Intelligence
Program and for this reason were present —. briefings given
Kennedy in the New York and Chicago Offices.

The affidavits taken from New York Office personnel
clearly indicate that a conference was held on November 4,
1963, in the New York Office attended by former Attorney General
Xennedy and other Department of Justice officials,” at which
time the organized crime program was discussed. These affidavits ¢
reveal that in order to demonstrate to Kennedy the type of informa-. }

ve
4 tion obtained in this p

mn a
between isi iia played.
Mr. Kennedy was advised that this conversation was obtained by ~
the FBI from “one of our highly confidential sources." According ~
to affidavits submitted by the Agents, at the conclusion of the
playing of that tape, Mr. Kennedy commented upon sue poor quality i}
of the recording and asked, "Js this the best equipz.ent we have?" °_
He was then advised that the difficulty in uncerstanding this ~
conversation was not due to inferior equipment but resulted from
jthe accompanying street noises, the rough quality of the voices
¢and the frequent whispered conversation employed. These comments |
by Mr. Kennedy were described by different Special Agents. For Lt
‘example, one Agent noted, "after listening to the taped conversa~ \
_tion, Mr. Kennedy commented about the poor quality of the recording |.
‘and I heard him ask, ‘Is this the best equipment we have?'" a

I told Mr. Rogers that I would like to go back to the
reference placed in the brief by Katzenbach which concerned
“authorization given a decade ago." He was advised that if
Katzenbach persisted in using such phraseology this would neces-
sarily involve both him and Mr. Brownell; therefore this point
should be clarified. He was advised that there undoubtedly would
be press inquiries and that the FBI would not want to be placed
in the position of refuting or contesting the claims of good friends.
I then read to him Mr. Brownell's memorandum to the Director, dated
5/20/54, which set forth in explicit language the fact that the FBI

“was permitted to utilize microphone surveillances for proper
discharge of its responsibilities in the fields of "internal
security" and “national safety." I pointed out that the matter
of trespass was clearly recognized. It was also pointed out that
“national safety" most certainly embraced the field of high level,
organized crime, inasmuch as gross murders, wholesale distribution
of narcotics, and considerable public corruption definitely concerned
the "national safety." I told him I wanted to go further; that
most certainly he recalled having various verbal conversations
with both the Director and former Assistant to the Director L. B.
Nichols relative to the subject of usage of microphones. 1 showed
him a memorandum written by L. B. Nichols dated 4/27/54, wherein
Rogers specifically told Nichols that he thought it would be a
better procedure to use the Brownell memorandum as authorization,
rather than go to the Attorney General in each individual case.

that in 1940 Attorney General Jackson issued an Order, which was in
existence for only a short time, to the effect that wiretapping must not
be done. This Order, although not the policy for many years, was never
formally rescinded in writing by the Department in its records, In order : :
to prevent any possible reference to this Order in connection with the new <
ware tap legislation and the Attorney General's testimony on the Hill, the |
Department, in reviewing its records, decided to clearly enunciate the

and that the "Attorney General approved the proposed procedure in
this regard and personally signed the attached memorandum evidenc-
ing such approval," (Also attached is a copy of the August 17, 1961,

memorandum signed by Mr. Kennedy.)



MEMO: GALE TO DeLOACH
RE: FRED B, BLACK, JR. , -

[footnote be eliminated from the new document filed with the
Supreme Court, He was specifically advised of the Director's ~!
views in this.regard and informed that the Bureau would very: #:
definitely ma&b it known publicly that Former Attorney General ¥.
Robert Kennedy had given general authorization for the use of - cs
microphones if this became necessary because of any public
misconception caused by this footnote. Katzenbach was adamant
jthat this footnote remain in the document and stated he would .
ees have included it in the proposed memorandum if he had not <3." -
desired it to be there. I continued to protest and he became; -
quite irritated at that time. He stated that he was willing. *
to change the language and suggested that instead of arguing .
about whether or not this footnote should be placed in the
document, that we should immediately draft language which.
would avoid the objectionable features,

f At this point I suggested to the Attorney General
that he include the fact that there was general Departmental
authorization for the use of these devices, This statement :
would indicate to anyone reading it thatthe. Bureau was acting
with Departmental authority and not acting on its own
initiative with respect to these devices, The Attorney General
agreed to placing this statement in the document and modified
it to this extent "there was general Departmental authorization
of longstanding for the use of these devices," A Thermofax copy t
of the proposed draft is attached indicating where the proposed §
change would be (page 4, footnote 4), . .

a

The Attorney General then went on to state that he
felt inclusion of the footnote was necessary to forestall
questions by the press or the court and he added that he knew
the President would desire some such statement incorporated
in this document, He did not elaborate on this point. He was
advised that this undoubtedly could be handled with the press by
saying the Department could not comment because the instant .
matter involved a pending case,

- The Attorney General then agreed that the proposed
memorandum could not be filed until May 24, 1966,

Pursuant to the Director's instructions, the
Attorney General was advised that the Director still felt 3
that the footnote was superfluous but that we would have to 7*
defer to the Department. I advised him that the Director hoped & -

& the hoped. =.

LI that this wuld not backfire wherein we would have to use the



“Lt. A. Jones to Wick memo
: Senator Robert F. Kennedy

which was conducted on the program "Opinion in the Capital, "a

production of station WITG, Washington, D. C. Additional written questions |
were submitted to the three participants at a later date and these questions }:
were answered independently by them. The reference by Mr. Kennedy to
the FBI was made in reply to the following question on page 22 of the booklet...

!efrestion: Tt has been suggested that there has been considerable penetration
, OF Dolice agencies by the John Birch Society and other right-wing extremist

ocganizations. Would vou permit 2 member of an extremi
organizations. Would you permit a member of an extremist group to serve -

,on the police force? How about the FBI or the Secret Service?"

"Senator Kennedy: I think we should be extremely cautious about automatically
d2nying any individual a job merely because he belongs to a particular
organization. However, the John Birch Society has been clearly identified
with some positions which would make it very unlikely that any individual
po:iceman who agreed with them would be able to enforce the law fairly and’
equally for all citizens. Therefore, I would not absolutely bar members
ox ihe Birch Society from serving on a police force; but I would see that a
special effort was made to see that the personal views of each applicant
are such that he will be able to enforce the laws fairly. I believe the
questions of the FBI and Secret Service are a different matter. These
agencies have special responsibilities in the field of national security,

and from my personal experience with them, it does not seem to me to be
wise to allow members of any extremist group to‘serve on them."

OBSERVATIONS:

It is not known whether this question was submitted to

Kezaedy on the television program of 5-15-% or in written form at a later
da:e; and, therefore, it is not known who was responsible for preparing
the question. In any event, the question is simply a hypothetical inquiry,
contrasting the FBI as the foremost Federal investigative agency with the
local police, and there is no inference of Birchite activities on the part
of FBI Agents. Apparently Mr. Kennedy mentioned the FBI ;in his answer
only because of the specific reference to it in the question. |

In view of the (-—-—? content of this question, it is
beiiaved consideration should be given to not writing a letter to the Americam,
Jewish Committee concerning this matter. .
RECOMMENDATION: %
That the Director may wish to consider not writing the
American Jewish Committee regarding nis matter.

MEMO: GALE TO DeLOACH
RE: FRED B. BLACK, JR.

*{f{ ADDENDUM: At 6:55 p.m. Assistant Attorney General Rogovin
telephonically contacted me and advised that the Department

: was going to substitute the following footnote for footnote

, number 4 in the petition for the Supreme Court in instant
case. “Present Departmental policy which has been in effect
since 1965 confines the use of listening devices such as those
herein involvéd and also the interception of wire communications
to the collection of intelligence affecting the national :
security, It also requires in each instance a specific
authorization by the Attorney General. This policy superseded —
the broader authorization which had been in effect for a-

number of years,"

I immediately objected to the revised footnote and
stated that it materially differed:from that which the
. Attorney General had previously agreed‘to in that it did not
contain the fact that the Department had generally authorized
the use of microphones. Rogovin then agreed to change the

policy. superseded the broader Departmental authorization which
had been in effect for a number of years." It is not felt
that this materially differs from the key sentence in the
previous footnote which we insisted on, i. e., that there
was general Departmental authorization of long standing for
the use of these devices, This was an apparent attempt by the
Department to throw us a real curve by attempting to slip
through a revised footnote which would minimize or cause doubt
as to the broad Departmental authorization of the use of
electronic devices and create the impression that the Bureau
i was operating in this sphere without Departmental authorization.

| inserting the word Departmental, it is felt that the

| last sentence in the above quoted footnote to read "This

impression that the Bureau Was operating on its own initiative
is not created.

SUBJECT: SENATOR ROBERT F. KENNEDY
; SPEAKS ON LATIN AMERICA AND Wee }
THE ALLIANCE FOR PROGRESS C

We have reviewed the attached press release furnished
by Jeremiah O'Leary, a reporter for the Washington, D. C.,
newspaper, "The Evening Star," and issued by Senator Robert F.
Kennedy under the above caption concerning speeches originally
scheduled for delivery by him on the Senate Floor, May 4 and 5,
1966, The morning press reported Senator Kennedy delivered
part of the speech May 9, 1966, and will conclude it May 10, 1966.
As a point of departure for his speeches,
Senator Kennedy noted the existence of good will between the
7 United States and Latin America as evidenced by President
Johnson's recent visit to Mexico. He interpreted statements
made in Mexico by President Johnson as a commitment to the
ideals of the Alliance for Progress.

Senator Kennedy analyzed the geographic, economic and
political problems of Latin America. He made suggestions and
recommendations for their solution which were based upon his
observations during an extensive tour of Latin America last
fall. He did not discuss political personalities in the Dominican *
Republic. He was mildly critical of Administration policy, N
making note of the following in a discussion of .'Communisn, s
Intervention and the Dominican Republic." He prefaced the
remarks with the statement that it was not his purpose to rake
ever the rights and wrongs of the incidents.

SARUM TAG RTT MAT

oa

(1) Intervention in the Dominican Republic
- has seriously damaged our relations with Latin “
America.

(2) Latin Americans do not believe that the NX
Dominican revolt was communist inspired or directed. :
Even if they did they do not concede any right of
the United States to intervene unilaterally apart
from the Organization of American States. 7. .

ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAM P. ROGERS, .
7/1/66, in New York City, -
REGARDING AUTHORIZATION OF MICROPHONE L“ —

COVERAGE BY VARIOUS ATTORNEYS GENERAL . aa
Pursuant to instructions, I saw Former Attorney Géneral ”
William P, Rogers in his office, 2000 Park Avenue (The Pan American
Building), at 3 p.m., 7/7/66. Assistant Director Malone accompanied
me.

At the outset I told Mr. Rogers that I wanted to be perfectly
frank and honest with him----just as in the days when the FBI had /.
enjoyed such pleasant relations while he was Attorney General. He .
was reminded of our two previous telephonic conversations, of 7/5
and 7/6/66, and was told that the FBI more or less had its back i \ Se
against the wall because the Department, headed by the two Attorneys . ieee
General who came after him, refused to admit the truth regarding  ¥
authorization of placement of microphones, and commission of trespass
in such placement. He was then briefed thoroughly regarding each
phase of the Black case, including the placement of the microphone
on 2/7/G3for approximately two months; the frequent admitted briefing
of Bobby Kennedy by Evans; notification and review of logs by the

5

Criminal Division of the Department; and the subsequent exposure of tN

the microphone, without logical explanation, by Solicitor General ae ee

Marshall----at the behest of Katzenbach and the Tax Division. Not
Mr. Rogers was next shown the proposed brief submitted to ta

the FBI by the Department----which was supposed to answer the questions.
raised by the Supreme Court. I then showed him our analysis of the
brief and the underlined counterproposals which made it clear the FBI TM
had operated under specific authority.

Mr. Rogers was told that it was not the FBI's idea to express a
in the original brief the intimation that microphone authority was
initiated a decade ago by the Republicans, He was advised that this
was Katzenbach's idea and that the reasons were perfectly obvious, ~
i.e., to blame someone other,- -than Bobby Kenned aM) usage Vv microm.

. I also told Rogers that I thought he would remember the
decision of the Supreme Court in the Irvin Case, wherein the Bureau *
had been cautioned by the Department to use restraint in the usage °

of electronic devices, rather than placing such devices on small-tine
hoodlums, as happened in the case of Irvin. I told Rogers that most

certainly such phraseology meant that it would be satisfactory to use
such devices on high-level racketeers and hoodlums.

Rogers thought for a woment or two. He then stated he would
Stand back of any memorandum in Bureau files which quoted him. He
reiterated that he did not want himself or Brownell to become the
scapegoat in this matter, inasmuch as it appeared perfectly obvious
that Katzenbach and Kennedy were trying to embarrass both him and
Brownell.

I asked him what reply he would make if the press contacted
him regarding the language Katzenbach proposed to send to the Supreme
Court. He’ stated he would make "no comment" to the press if it
was clearly indicated that it would embarrass the FBI. He added,
however, that if Katzenbach was deliberately attempting to embarrass
him and Brownell, he would fall back on the Brownell memorandum of
5/20/54 and go no further. He stated that such a position would
certainly not harm the FBI in any manner.

I told Mr. Rogers we deeply appreciated the time he had
given us and that, in conclusion, I felt certain we could count on
him. He stated if there was any doubt in my mind he would be very
happy to call the Director at that moment and explain his position.
I told him there was no doubt in my mind; however, he should feel
free to call the Director at any time. He then telephonically con-
tacted the Director while Mr. Malone and I were in his office,

Upon preparing to depart Mr. Rogers’ office, he asked us
up to the Pan American rooftop club for quick refreshments, where
we briefly went over the above-mentioned conversation a second time.

RECOMMENDATIONS: - -
1. I will see Deputy AG Ramsey Clark as early as possibl
on the morning of 7/8/66 and clearly advise him of our interviews
with both former AG Rogers and Courtney Evans, md Clark will be told
that all we want is a truthful presentation of the facts, He will.
be given the facts of my interview with Rogers. He will also be
told that if he stil] thinks that Evans is vague he should ve for

MEMO: GALE TO DeLOACH
RE: FRED B. BLACK, JR.

name of former Attorney General Robert Kennedy as having given a
authority for the use of microphones. The Attorney General
indicated that Former Attorney General Kennedy stated he did not
give such over-all authority but he realized that the Bureau had
certain documents which would raise a question concerning this *
contention. I informed him that we certainly did and once again .
reviewed with him the document which Kennedy signed for the -#°°-.
New York Telephone Company, authorizing microphones, together .
with several memoranda of former Assistant Director Courtney A.

Evans, indicating that the Attorney General was completely ;

cognizant and had authorized the use of microphones in the field

of organized crime. He was again advised that Kennedy had listened
to a number of tapes of microphone coverage played to him in Chicago
and New York. The Attorney General made no further observations
concerning this point. -

The Attorney General then stated that he felt the
press would definitely want to know if these practices still
exist and ask questions along the lines of the information in
the footnote. He was much more concilliatory than when I was
in his office and stated that if the Bureau desired, he would
eliminate instant footnote and have it answered by Departmental
spokesmen when the press inquired. As the Director very quickly
recognized, the Department would undoubtedly like to use this
tactic so that Rosenthal could conveniently omit -that sentence
about our having general Departmental authorization for the use
of these devices.in answering press inquiries.

EE RIN MANES REM

Pursuant to the Director's instructions, the Attorney
General was subsequently advised that we felt the statement
Should stand as it is on the record rather than by making reference ~
to it orally to the press. At this time the Attorney General made
the observation, "The Solicitor.General is not going to like
this very well."

naiieidnen ron te tae

It appears that the Attorney General now feels that the
Department has boxed itself in to some extent by agreeing to the
statement that we had general Departmental authority to use these
devices.

ACTION:

This matter will be closely followed and you will be=
advised of all pertinent developments, i
