BAC, BE

As you can presume, this involved quite elaborate
arrangements. There was a great deal of enthusiasm on the part
of those present in anticipation of his appearance.

However, approximately 3:00 PM on 7/28/61, BRENNAN
received a call from JACK RILEY saying that the Attorney General
would not be able to appear and offered in his place, Mr. ORRICK,
the head of the Civil Division of the Department. BRENNAN at
the time the call was received advised he would take this under
advisement, but as an aside told me that he, together with a
large percentage of his directors present, were considerably
disturbed over this offer, saying “This is a criminal organization
principally" and "We aren't interested in a ‘nobody who is a
civil attorney'".

BRENNAN advised me that he had talked this matter over
with his directors present and plans were made to contact
Senator KEFAUVER of Tennessee and Senator MOSS from Utah, who
was formerly President of the National District Attorneys
Association, and other influential senators, to see if the bill
scheduled to come on the floor of the Senate on Saturday,
7/29/61 in which the Attorney General was interested, could not
be set over until the following week so he could make the
appearance as scheduled. BRENNAN told me that he thought this
was a very “shabby way" of being treated particularly since
the District Attorneys were in favor of the crime fight the
Attorney General is waging.

I contacted Mr. EVANS in San Francisco and advised him
of this attitude and pointed out that they were still interested,
4f possible, in getting the Attorney General to speak. On
7/29/61, I was in touch with Mr. EVANS and learned that the
Attorney General had offered to read his speech via the long
distance telephone. I talked to BRENNAN about this but after
consulting with seven of his state directors who were immediately
available they declined to accept this invitation, saying that
they had endeavored to have such a speech by Senator KEATING
before their last meeting in Boston but the technical facilities
were such that it was most unsatisfactory; therefore, they
declined to accept that invitation.

Re JFK Special Reports

The Attorney General was querfied as to his position regarding the

: ym Riders. He said initially the Freedom Riders performed a service in showing

oe e country the deficiency in civil rights in the South. The second group, he said,

1 s-admired for their courage but he questioned their judgment. He questioned the
wisdom of present Freedom Riders, but he does not question their right to travel. Now
that the civil rights matter is before the courts, the Attorney General feels that continue.
Freedom Rider actions in this area do not make a great deal of sense. He alluded
specifically to . many of the Freedom Riders apparently ame engaging in this activity
purely for publicity purposes.

The Attorney General stated that the clergy and newsmen have a
responsibility and an obligation to the law to give some leadership in civil rights matters
He said in Alabama the clergy had not spoken out and the newspapers had not been
objective.

Ray Scherer asked what progress the Attorney General planned on juve-
nile delinquency and where does an Attorney General begin to attack the problem in this
field. Mr. Kennedy commented that the problem is attacked in various ways and by
different means in each state. He said studies are being conducted and that the Depart-
ment of Justice is giving consideration to the establishment of halfway houses,designed
to give guidance to wayward youths. He also said the Administration is attempting to
get college graduates to work with gangs and to provide recreational outlets for juve-
niles, particularly during the summer months.

Scherer asked the Attorney General how important would be the Congres-
sional passage of his crime bill package. The Attorney General said it would be
extremely important. He went on to point out that labor and management and the public
must develop a better attitude toward lawfulness and not compromise themselves in
order to gain some material advantage. He called on persons to stand up and resist
crime and support law enforcement.

The interview ended with Scherer asking the Attorney General what
happens after a man is through being Attorney General. Mr. Kennedy said he hadn't
the answer to that question.

The remaining portions of the hour-long program concerned matters
relating to how the Kennedy Administration has steered its program through Congress,
and was made up of comments by NBC correspondents regarding the Kennedy Adminis-

tration. '

‘ Vie The ninth in the series of JFK Special Reports, narrated by Edward
fewmsn for NBC News, was presented over WRC-TV from 10 to 11 p.m. last night,

: ° 6-20-61. The program, which concerned a review of st 5 months of the Kennedy

! Administration, monitored by as it was known that Attorney

. General Robert F>“Kennedy was to be rview Cc LA
oea—X—=“=_©—=_——————eee .

The program began with a commentary by Newman regarding the major
difficulties facing the Nation. Following this, Ray‘Qcherer, White House correspondent
for NBC, interviewed the Attorney General in his e at the Department of Justice.

The interview lasted approximately 20 minutes, Scherer asked the Attorney General
several personal questions, such as why he accepted the job of Attorney General. Mr.
Kennedy replied that the President felt it would be helpful for him to take the job and also
the position was a source of personal pride. In response to an inquiry as to whether or
| not he would be called in as a trouble shooter for the Administration, such as in the in-
vestigation of CIA, the Attorney General replied that he believed he could be of help to NN
| the President in such matters and would certainly make himself available. qe
Scherer commented that the Attorney General had often been referred to \
as the Number 2 Man in the Administration and followed this with personal questions rey
garding the Attorney General's family, the closeness of the family group and how the ‘
Attorney General could carry on in his full-time job and still get to see his 7 children. )
The Attorney General commented that it was not easy but that he could see his children
early in the morning and late at night. . to} : ;

Scherer asked what the Attorney General would most want to accomplish \}
as Attorney General. Mr. Kennedy replied that he was very interested in the field of
| organized crime, the problem of price fixing by management, the labor-management
collusion and problems in civil rights. He stated that in the field of juvenile delinquencyz
there was much to be done; that 5,000 juveniles were now in Federal prisons and would

need some kind of treatment when they get out. He also stated that many people were’

, Sent to jail because they could not afford legal representation and that he wanted to see &
{all people equal before the law. The Attorney General stated he sought to temper all his&
actions with justice and fairness. yy

The above-captioned television program was monitored by the Crime
Research Section. The topic of discussion was "International Communism." Participants
were: Henry Cabot Lodge; James Burnham (an editor of "National Review" magazine);
Robert Strausz-Hupe of the University of Pennsylvania's Foreign Policy Research
Institute; and Attorney General Robert F2 Kennedy. CBS Commentator Howard K. Smith *

served as moderator. c

OBSERVATION . Y
Most of the discussion concerned problems arising outside the United sui

 , particularly in Africa, Very little was said about communism in the United States. The
| FBr was mentioned only by the Attorney General and that in a passing manner.

“BRIEF SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION

Commentator Smith opened the discussion by saying that communism
represented a great challenge today, that it had conquered one third of the world's popu-
lation and still had the initiative. Mr. Lodge countered by saying that communism had
been halted in Berlin and the United Nations. In places where communism has succeeded
_ ,it is because it has had a long-range view in international conflict. If America would do
i | what we are capable of doing, communism. would wither away. Mr. Strausz-Hupe +,

; emphasized that communism is essentially a “conflict doctrine;" that if Mr. Khrushchev
- embraced the cause of peace he would put himself out of a job. Mr. Burnham stated that
- _{ y the communists really mean it when they say they are going to conquer the world. He
a added that our anticommunism has been too'soft." Soft anticommunism means surrender
i | by stages, He felt that we have been losing the war with Russia and are losing it now, as
ao
reflected in Cuba, Laos, etc. 1Zz ISI38 D0— 43

Memorandum to Mr. Belmont
RE: ATTORNEY GENERAL'S VISIT
TO NEW YORK CITY, JUNE 14, 1961

The Attorney General met with the press in the office of the
United States Attorney. He also was interviewed for TV and filmed re-
productions of this interview were shown on the TV stations in New York
this morning.

Cr

The Attorney General also conferred with the Senior Judges
in both the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. The Attorney
General went out of his way to see United States District Judge J.
Skelly Wright of Louisiana who is presently a visiting Judge in the Southern
trict of New York.

The Attorney General conferred with the United States Attorney
for the Eastern District of New York but his visit to that office was very
brief and more in the nature of a pep talk for members of the United
States Attorney's staff.

On the way up on the plane, the Attorney General read the
speech that had been prepared for him for delivery before the luncheon
meeting of thé State‘Attorneys General Association, He remarked that
the speech wouldn't do at all and he spoke extemporaneously. While his

talk touched on the field of civil rights, he stressed his crime program
| and the speech seemed to be fairly well received by the State Attorneys
General. While the Attorney General for the State of Albama, who had
| attended the conference, indicated he had urgent business in Washington

which required him to leave prior to Kennedy's appearance and thus was
not present most of the Attorneys General from the southern states seemed

to make it a point to go up to Kennedy after his speech to shake hands and
talk with him.

The Attorney General said he wanted to stop by and see the
| New York FBI Office but that time was short and he mentioned to SAC

Foster that he would stop in when he was in New York again and he knew
what a wonderful job the FBI was doing.

a Re: BUDD WILSON SCHULBERG
: JERRY WALD

The press reported in February, 1961, that 20th Century-Fox studio
had purchased "The Enemy Within," the Attorney General's book, and that producer
Jerry Wald would make the movie. The story highlights problemis and abuses uncovered
iby the Senate Rackets Committee of which Attorney General Kennedy was Chief Counsel.

i "The Hollywood Reporter" reported on December 13, 1960, that producer
Jerry Wald had said that recent front page attacks on moral quality of films is un-

” “warranted and the accusations are refuted by box office results showing that ticket
buyers support clean films much more than they patronize sex and violence.

R In connection with a recent Supreme Court decision affirming the right
of a Chicago board to require that a motion picture be submitted for review before it

“= could be exhibited which was widely heralded in the motion picture industry as opening

a : the way for censorship of movies, Wald had some suggestions as reported in "Daily
‘ Variety" on January 27, 1961. He suggested amending Article 1 of the Constitution

~ which prohibits Congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion

© or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the
'; press and so forth, to add "or of the press: of television, of radio, of films or any
medium of communication, now known or unknown."

| It should be noted that this Supreme Court decision did not touch upon
* ‘the validity of the Chicago board's right to refuse permission for a film to be exhibited
‘but merely declared that the board had the right to request that the film be submitted
va for review. It should be added that in this 5 to 4 decision, the minority also viewed the
- .' majority report as an open invitation to censorship.

Re: “The Great Challenge"

Iron Curtain. In one exchange, Mr. Kennedy said we are so much concerned with our’

own opmfort that we have less active interest in problems abroad. He said we are really
engaged in a war and need to harness our energy. One way to do this is the Peace Corps.
In this way citizens can feel'that they are contributing. Burnham gave his support to the
proposed Freedom Academy, a school to train people to fight communism. This would

; Mean we have something on our side to fight communism and would reflect a turning to
ahard anticommunism, Later Mr. Kennedy made reference to "this institution" (Freedom
| Academy) and said “that is a step, as the Peace Corps, " indicating his approval of such an
Academy. But these steps are not sufficient by themselves, and there are other steps to
be taken, as will be taken by the Administration and the United States. He said we must

' concentrate on young people in the fight against communism. At the end of the program,
Mr. Smith summarized the Attorney General's position as follows: “Attorney General
Kennedy emphasized that opposing communists is not as important as taking positive

be 2 threat inside the United States, there is a foreign communist threat to the United States,

but there is not and has never been a political threat of communism inside the United State:
and therefore committees like the UnAmerican Activities Committee are diverting our
attention from the real threat. What is your assessment of communism in America?"

Mr. Kennedy answered that there are two areas of concern to Americans:

‘| (1) the fact that the Communist Party exists in the United States and is dominated,

controlled and financed directly by the Soviet Union; (2) there is and continues to be acts

of espionage in the United States by the Soviets and their satellites, He added that the
Communist Party had little attraction for the American people and that he didn't think.
that as a political power it is anything to be reckoned with. He added that the Party can
and has had a political impact on occasions, but didn't consider it as a major political
party and that as long as the FBI and other Government agencies were vigilant they would
not be. The great struggle of today is not with the Communist Party here in the United
States but what we are going to do with the uncommitted areas of the world. The pertinent
section of Mr. Kennedy's quote regarding communism in the United States and the FBI is a
follows: “Well, I think there are two areas which must be a matter of concern to us
particularly. I-think the fact that the Communist Party exists here in the United States, '
-and dominated and controlled by an outside force, by the Soviet Union itself, that it is
largely financed by the Soviet Union in funds coming directly from the USSR, I think this
is a matter of great concern for the American people. I think the fact that there is and
continues to be acts of espionage, here in the United States, which go on continuously,
which are directed and controlled by representatives of the Soviet Union and representativi
of the satellite countries of the Soviet Union, that those acts of espionage are taking place
this week, last week, and the week before and on a continuous basis, I think that is a
matter of great concern. I don't think that the Communist Party itself has any attraction
for the American people generally throughout the United States. I don't think that asa
political power it is anything to be reckoned with. I think that they can and have hada
political impact on occasion, but I don't think that they are a major political party in the
United States, and I think as long as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other
Government agencies continue their vigilance, that they will not be. I agree with these
gentlemen that the great struggle is not with the Communist Party here in the United States
but what we are going to do with the uncommitted countries and the people who are-
uncommitted throughout the world...."

Dear Robert:

—

I was very sorry to learn of your con-
finement in the hospital as I know it must be difficult
for you to spend the time indoors away from your
schoolwork and playmates. I feel certain, however,
that you have already made many new friends among
the doctors and nurses at the hospital. Follow their
instructions closely so that you will be ready to return
to school very soon.

Iam sending you some information
about the FBI which I hope will make the hours go a
little faster.

MR. HOOVER

SAC J. E. MILNES as
OQ p
ATTORNEY GENERAL ROBERT KENNEDY

pens y

As you are aware, I attended the annual meeting of the ANG

Kational District Attorneys Association convention in Portland, vs

Oregon from 7/26 through 29/61. Originally Mr. KENNEDY was

yoy ta to be the principal speaker at the banquet at 7:30 PM,
29/61.

PAT BRENNAN, District Attorney from South Bend, Indiana,
President of the group, advised me that he bad made arrangements
through JACK RILEY, Executive Assistant in Charge of U. 8.
Attorneys, for the Attorney General's appearance. They had a
solid commitment for his appearance as early as two months ago.

Subsequent to that time word was received that
Mr. KENNEDY could not make the speech and an appearance would be
made by the Deputy Attorney General BYRON WHITE. Subsequent to
’ that Mr. KENNEDY assured them that he would make the speech
personally.

As a result, rather elaborate arrangements were made by €
BRENNAN and other officers of the association for KENNEDY's
presence in Portland. As part of the whole program, HERBERT J.
MILLER, Assistant Attorney General in Charge of the Criminal
Division, and WILLIAM HUNDLEY, Special Assistant to the Attorney
General, attended this conference and Mr. MILLER addressed the tk
conference on 7/28/61. While MILLER and HUNDLEY were in Portland, 8
through SIDNEY LEZAK, Acting U. S. Attorney in Portland, Oregon, ”
arrangements were made to have a meeting with the Attorney
General on the afternoon of 7/29/61 to meet with the heads of the
Federal enforcement agencies in Portland to discuss with them
various aspects of the overall drive against crime being
encouraged by the Attorney General. Arrangements were made for
him to address the Multnomah County Bar Association in Portland
at a special meeting convened for that purpose on the 29th. In
addition, the Attorney General had agreed to meet with the Demo-
‘cratic Party representatives and a delegation of women that samo

afternoon. . : :

we waged war on whet be still ealls foe "Enemy Within,” that ta
to say, the corruption of the labor unions, asd undertook his campaign to

* expose JAMES HOFFA, the labor Jeader who took advantage of the funds of

the affiliated unions for personal profit. As sa matter of fact, this campaign
= is still going on. _ rT eg

. In early 1960, BOB resigned as Counsellor of the Committee to
manage his brother's campaign, initiating a titanjc: brand to overcome the -
religious prejudice which harried the candidacy of the former Senator from _
Massachusetts. He had interviews with Bishop FULTON J. SHEEN and _
Cardinal SPELLMAN in order to find out "good avenues of conviction" for the
American voters. During this period, he was constantly on the go, visiting —
hundreds of persons daily in order to pave the road for his brother's
campaign, who triumphantly entered and won the race in the primary
elections, securing the votes of the various delegations attending the
Democratic Convention in Los Angeles, California.

Upon JOHN ¥."s victory in the Virginia (sic) primary elections, a
wave of protests, set in motion by HERBERT KLEIN, NIXON's press
secretary, accused the Democratic candidate of “buying with money” the
votes of the Protestant population of that Southern Btate. It was hard to
imagine how the KENNEDYs would be able to get out of this quagmire, but
BOB made a public appeal to the American press not only to ask the
reporters to look into the matter, but also to get the "Senatorial Campaign
Committee" to investigate the entire affair. The Party leaders shuddered
at the news of such a daring move. They were afraid that the Republicans
would take advantage of it as a sign of weakness or guilt. The gambit was «
accepted and paid off. The victory in the primary election was ratified and
the votes of the Virginian delegation for the Los Angeles Convention were
in the bag?

Finally, Convention time rolled around. SYMINGTON's and
JOHNSON's candidacy posed a serious problem because the former was
supported by TRUMAN with Mrs. ROOSEVELT's blessing and the latter
had on his side the good will of the Southern Old Guard to which he was
making innumerable statements that he would not give up the first place. :
It was indispensable for JOHN F. to work out a well-balanced ticket, offering -
the geographic attractions which are a must for the Presidential and Vice
Presidential candidates. In other words, it was indispensable to have some-
one from the South on the ticket and this someone had to be JOHNSON in order

. to offset JOHN F.'s Northern origin.

$n the meanwhile, the political maneuvers were in full swing and
story poised apr ek at the critical time, a "dark horse, would get
pod of the Delegates, a dark horse being a candidate enabling the differing
ions of the various Delegations to ‘jelly.‘" ROBERT showed his master's
‘on this occasion. His lieutenants remember the tension of the moment
‘BOB directed his steps to the apartment occupied by JOHNSON at the —-
Biltmore in Los Angeles. From his stolid face one could hardly guess
he was about to take a step that the political historians of this country —_—-
‘-will never be able to forget when analyzing the events. Five or six hours
‘went by, but when he emerged from the apartment his brother's victory was .
in his hand. He had been able to convince JOHNSON to accept the Presidential
candidacy of JOHN F, KENNEDY, accepting the Vice Presidential spot for
himself! The nomination was a sure thing. —

Then, November the 8th rolled around, The first results of the
elections began to come in and the lead which JOHN F. KENNEDY had over
his opponent became smaller and smaller, so much so that there was fear
that he would become a "minority President." The leaders of the Democratic
Party accused the young manager of the campaign of being extremely weak
for failing to exploit NIXON's weak spots. However, this was evidence of
the fact that BOB is a man of his word and of NIXON’s gentlemanly behavior.
In fact, at the start of the Presidential campaign, BOB had been successful
in convincing NIXON that any mention of the religious question, rather than
being an obstacle to the aspirations of the Democratic candidate, would be
a backward step of American democracy in the eyes of the world. By the
game token, he had agreed that no mention would be made of certain «:
mysterious matters of NIZON's family, such as NIXON allowing his influence
to be used by his brother in concluding certain rather profitable business -
deals. This explains the small margin in the voting and underlines BOB's
integrity and his courage in implementing his own decisions. Even though .
be was notably responsible for his brother's victory, great pains had to be
taken to convince him to accept the post of Attorney General. He rejected
the proposal three times and finally gave in under the pressure brought to
bear by the Party leadership which marshalled its reasons with adroitness. —

BOB' s office is located in Room 5111 of the Justice Department.

stack of papers. He was in his shirt sleeves and his hair was "in an upheaval."

4 I thought you would be inte#¢sted in knowing that at about

{ 12:00 today the Attorney General walked into the 9th Street motor entrance
while wegg were dispatching a group consisting of about 100 students from
Cocalico Union High School, Denver, Pennsylvania. The Attorney General
appeared to be quite interested in our operation and observed the manner
in which we were handling this group for a matter of several minutes. . He
then approached the senior tour leader who was dispatching the group and
asked in a friendly manner what was going on. The senior tour leader
introduced himself to The Attorney General, answered his questions
completely, and explained our method in dispatching large school groups
which appear at the Bureau at this time of the year to tour our facilities.

The Attorney General was most cordial, appeared to be .
quite impressed, and in accordance with requests made of him by students
in the group exchanged pleasantries, shook hands with several, and :
consented to be photographed, before entering the building. This group,
it might be noted, was nicely dressed, and well behaved.

“2We_yant to get these bills out of t the edu rian
labor committee,” he said. (

He put down the phone. It buzzed again.

The attorney general listened for a mom
thanked the caller and punched a button on the tele:|
Phone box for a direct line to the White House. |

After asking for the office an aide, he inquired, :
“Is the President there? . . . Well, tell the President -
that the judge in New York just signed the Taft-Hariley
, Bunetion order in the maritime strike.” ”
| rpeas was Bob Kennedy in typical action. He is an

able, dynamic young man of great integrity, the
‘scourge ‘of the underworld and labor racketeers. He
has & position vast in duties and importance. As U.S.
attorney general, he must fight organized crime, enforee
antitrust and labor racketeering laws. protect civil rights,
interpret the Iaws to the President, and fulfill the role
of judge, advocate, pfosecutor and defendant.

The attorney general heads the mighty Justice de-
partment with its 30,000 employees, and its annual budg-
et of 300 million dollars. 2

a

Yet his influential role in the administration has its -

roots in more than his official responsibilities. He Is the
President's closest confidant,

‘But Bob Kennedy downgrades his widely publicized
role as the No. 2 man in the government.

+] don't think that makes any sense at all,” he said.
“I have my responsibilities here in the Department of
Justice, Beyond that I might be of some help or assist-
| ance to the President in other areas. But,each member
i of the Cabinet has his own responsibilities and I don't

impige on or have any authority in any of these other
areas

“In the last analysis, what we are going Jo do in
Berlin—or any of those decisions —finally have to be
_ ade by the President personally.” :

” In conversation-with the attorney general, ft is Obvi-
ous he knows intimately what is going on at the White
Howse. It also becomes apparent that this blunt-spoken_!
young man can talk bluntly to his brother on issues

Tsonalities where the President wants to hear the

+ truth gngj where some of his trusted advisers might hesi-
_ Sate to speak up. a

as %

)OB KENNEDY went ‘Through ‘Yong and agonizing soul
searching last December before he 9feftetTMto th
leay of his ther and accepted the place in the ab

met Controversy swirled around the appointment.

“That time the President-elect was asked, “Sena- :
tdo-you know any historical parallel to this?”
With customary dry humor, Jack Kennedy replied,

“No, but we are going to start one.”

7 Later, Jack Kennedy told ‘a friend, “In planning,

etting the right people to work and seeing that the job
£ done, Bobby is the best man in the United States.”

. Perhaps it was an awareness of the terrible loneli-

ness that engulfs a President of the United States that

swayed the younger Kennedy to take the job.

“I realized,” he is reported to have said, “what an
advantage it would be to have someone Gin the govern-
ment) he could talk to.”

Bob is reluctant to discuss his relationship with the

. White House.

“Sometimes I talk to the President several times a
day,” he says. “At other times maybe once a day. It all
depends’ on cases.”

One of the toughest tasks which Bob is now expe-
riencing—and it has a definite impact on his close rela-
tionship with the White House— is the selection by him-
self and the President of more than 100 new federal
Judges in the next year and perhaps as many as 200 be-
fore the election in 1964. .

“This is why I didn’t want this fob,” the attorney .
general said “I had just come from a political job where
I had to ask people to do favors for us. .I didn’t want to ,
be in a position to refuse when they came in and asked
favors from me.

7. ‘But I have to do that now. It can be unpleasant | '
at times. ”

rpee rumpled coat, the pictures of his wife and family,

the picture of his son, David, with the President's

‘notation, the telephone conversations, tell a lot about

Bob Kennedy—his total lack of ceremony and “airs,”

his devotion to his wife, Ethel, and family, his grasp « of
job and his role as a top White House adviser.

WITH THE ARCHITECT OF KENNEDY'S VICTORY

by
PABLO MARENTES oo gs

Washington, D. C., March, 1961. = The Justice Department of
the United States of America is located on Pennsylvania Avenue and 9th
Street of the District of Columbia. The imposing gray-stone edifice, which
is the home of the famous Federal] Bureau of Investigation, also houses the
office of relentless ROBERT FRANCIS KENNEDY, Attorney General of
the Nation and brother of the new American President.

BOB is 35 years old and his life has been as intense as his brother's.
He 1s the third-born of the four KENNEDYs and graduated from Harvard hn
1043. He immediately joined the Armed Forces of his country, serving
aboard the destroyer named after his brother JOSEPH P. KENNEDY, who
died in action. At the end of the world war, his restlessness took him to
Palestine as a foreign correspondent of the "Boston Post." Later on, he
came back to the University of Virginia from which he graduated in Law.
In 1951, he initiated his career in the Public Administration by working
as a lawyer in the Criminological Section of the Department of Justice,
& post from which he resigned to manage the first Senatorial campaign of
his brother who is now the President of the United States.

Immediately thereafter, he was invited to cooperate with the
HOOVER Commission where he acquired his vast experience in inter-
national matters. Later on, he became a founding member of the
Mc CLELLAN Committee (investigating union leaders’ illegal activities)
x» wet which he became Chief Counsellor in 1957.

Liaison scoot called from the White Ve. /
House at 11:30 a.m. today and advised that William
Hardigan of the White House staff had advised
Bartlett that the Attorney General had asked him
to get in touch with the FBI and arrange to have a

Bureau man and car meet the AG on his arrival in KY
at about 2 or 2:30 p.m. today.

Hardigan said the AG was going up by a Military
Air Transport Service (MATS) plane, leaving Washington
between 12:30 and 1 p.m., and landing at the Marine
Terminal, LaGuardia Airfield about 2 or 2:30 p.m.
The AG did not state the purpose of his flight but,
according to Hardigan, it is apparently a matter of
urgency and of a confidential nature, as the flight
is being listed as a “training flight."

Hardigan was advised that the Bureau would comply
with the AG's request, and SAC Foster, NY, has been
instructed to have a car and driver meet the AG on his
arrival in NY and take him wherever he needs to go.

TO NEW YORK CITY, JUNE 14, 1961

Keberr F. Kendeoy

The Attorney General postponed his departure
from the evening of June 13th as he was tied up at the White
left on a 7:30 a.m. flight, June 14, 1961.

His first visit was with United States Attorney Morgenthau of NC

the Southern District of New York. While discussing general matters of Rav
concern to the United States Attorney's office at this meeting, which was a
Jattendea only by the Attorney General, United States Attorney Morgenthau, ne
First Assistant United States Attorney Mollo and myself, emphasis was

placed by the Attorney Ceneral on his orcanized cri: Test

jpiaced by the Attorney General on his organized crime program. United Ny

States Attorney Morgenthau very tactfully took the position that all legal
matters required in that area under this program could be handled most
satisfactorily by the United States Attorney's ottice and he didn't need any Q
rtmen neys to come to ae. There =
was also a discussion of the desirability of following up investigation with x

Grand Jury action. United States Attorney Morgenthau was most enthusiastic
in this regard.

The Attorney General had called a meeting of the heads of all of the
federal investigative agencies in the New York area. This meeting was attendeg
by SAC Foster and ASAC Bryant of our New York Office. Both handled them- |
selves in a very capable manner and presented the program which the Director >
has initiated in a forthright manner. The Attorney General was obviously
impressed most favorably.

in contrast, he was most displeased with the "foot dragging" f
statements and defeatist attitude of the Internal Revenue Service representatives’
After the meeting the Attorney General stated privately to me and to United

States Attorney Morgenthau that he would have to build a fire under Internal
Revenue Service all over again,

rel lationship is of the best and Mr. Keating commented that hé was glad to hear

the Attorney General say that. +

Senator Keating asked the Attorney General if he thinks that the

eat of communism in this country is as serious today as it was 5 or 10 years
ago. Mr. Kennedy replied that he thinks there is no question about that and he
bases his opinion on information received from the FBI and other sources. The
Attorney General added that this is true because the Communist Party of the
United States is controlled and to a large degree financially supported by a
foreign government, because acts of espionage are controlled and supported by
embassies of communist countries. Senator Keating asked the Attorney General
whether he plans any legislation to deal with the problem at the present time.
Mr. Kennedy replied that the Department has none under consideration because
the FBI is doing excellent work in this field. Mr. Kennedy said he believes that
as long as the FBI is aware of this problem and continues its fine work it will
make a “major difference."

—e

Mr, Kennedy in his interview also referred to the Department's
antitrust program. Mr. Kennedy stated that he plans to pursue the matter of
price fixing in the various metropolitan communities of the United States.

Mr. Keating also raised the question of litigation in the field of civil rights.
The Attorney General said that the Department will take a forceful and strong
look into the violations of voting rights in certain sections of the United States
where there appears to be discrimination against minority groups, particularly
Negroes.

Mr. Keating asked the Attorney General if he plans to stick to this
job for 4 years, Mr. Kennedy replied that he does.

for the Bureau's . Two copies of newspaper coverage afforded Mr. Kennedy's

Wwe a man isn't prepared or isn’t doing his job,
Bob can give a stiff reprimand. By the same token,
he is tolerant of first-time mistakes and is quick to

The attorney general has a delightful sense of

(NE nabs schievempat ta the Gepartment was ob-
taining convictions in several criminal cases of de-
fendants who had previously managed to worm free.

When these trials were approaching, Bob sent sev-
eral of his top lawyers—including two to Kansas City—~
to help district attorneys prosecute the cases. The de-
partment won in all of them, including the conviction of
Felix Ferina in Kansas City and Mickey Cohen in Los
Angeles. y .

One of Bob Kennedy’s most galling frustrations
been his inability to topple Jimmy Hoffa, the tough
powerful doss of the teamsters union.

Rarely has Washington witnessed 2 more bitter
struggle. Hoffa has described Kennedy as “a young, dim-
witted curly-headed smart aleck and a ruthless little
monster.” 30 .

Kennedy has accused Hoffa of tolerating hoodlums .
and other unsavory characters in the teamsters and of
making a travesty of union democratic procedures.

Kennedy ‘thought he had Hoffa ‘failed once when
the teamster boss was arrested for trying to bribe a
Senate committee investigator..Bob was convinced the
evidence was air-tight. | . noo,

When a reporter asked him what he would do if
Hoffa were acquitted, Bob considered this possibility so
remote that he facetiously remarked, “I'd jump off the
Capitol dome.” Le sO

Thus it was a terrific shock to Kennedy when Hoffa
was acquitted, and Edgar Bennett Williams, the attorney

has

on a holiday. He wrote all of them a note of thanks.
From one lawyer he received this reply: “In the

spirit of George Washington's birthday, I cannot tell a
lie. I signed in so I could use the parking lot and go to
, the movies” cs .
The candid lawyer got this note from the attorney
general: “With honesty like yours, the nation's cherry
; trees are safe.” |
With typical thoroughness, Bob is concentrating
{ on’ several fields of activity he considers most impor-
tant at this time—anti-criminal legislation, civil rights,
antitrust and juvenile delinquency. . ket
“Of eourse, the most sensitive area is civil rights,’
“he said. “We are doing something, without headlines,
out the many problems that exis. — B".!
‘Sy, the field of anti-trust, we want to help the

@onewmer and the businessmen who can't help them:
, Selvps.” ;

for Hoffa, made the defeat more exasperating when he

. offered to send Bob a parachute.

Hoffa's latest acquitial a few days ago in a mail
fraud ease in Florida has only intensified the attorney
general’s views that Hoffa's power poses an extremely
dangerous problem for the nation.

The attorney general and his Close associates who
have worked on the case still believe that sooner or later
Hoffa will be brought to bay. .

Arrangements were made by them to have ROBERT THORNTON,
Attorney General for the State of (Oregon, speak aS principal
banquet speaker. noe

On the afternoon of 7/29/61, a rather lengthy telegram
was received by BRENNAN from the Attorney General outlining his
reasons for not being there and saying that he felt his presence
in Washington was necessary, particularly since the head of the
Judicial Committee of the Senate had encouraged his presence on
that occasion.

Interestingly enough, there was a directors meeting
under way at the time this telegram was received. BRENNAN,
BURT KEATING, District Attorney from Denver, and EDWARD S,
SILVER, District Attorney of Brooklyn, New York, told me that
when the telegram was received there were a large number of those
present who were so disturbed over the Attorney General's late
cancellation that they were not inclined to read the telegram
at the banquet. I told them that I thought that it would be
most inappropriate not to and suggested that the polite and
politic thing to do was to, of course, read it. The calmer heads
prevailed and the telegram was read at the banquet. It received
a polite applause.

It was very evident that the officers of the National
District Attorneys Association and a great percentage of the
members were quite disturbed over his late cancellation. The
result was that a number of people left before the end of the
convention since they intended to remain only so long as the
Attorney General was going to speak. His late cancellation also,
of course, required cancellation at the last minute of all of the
elaborate plans that had been made for his presence in Portland.

I am writing to the Bureau separately concerning the
entire conference; however, Ithought you would be interested in
this aside so far as the Attorney General's scheduled presence
was concerned.

Supervisor SD lew York Office, telephonically
furnished the following synopsis of captioned program:

Senator Keating asked the Attorney General whether he still thinks |
it is necessary or desirable to create a National Crime Commission. Attorney w
General Kennedy replied that at one time he had felt that it was necessary %
because of gangster penetration and the growth of organized crime. Mr. Kennedy’.
added that he now feels the Department is able to accomplish many of the things ly
which he had thought should be done through a National Crime Commission. SO
Mr. Keating asked the Attorney General if he was pressing for legislation to ~“
create a National Crime Commission. Mr. Kennedy said he was not because \
he thinks the Department can accomplish these things administratively within
the Department. He said he was not opposed to it, but he is not as strong for it\S
as he was in the past. z

Senator Keating asked whether the Attorney General advocated any 8
other legislation to deal with organized crime. Mr. Kennedy replied that he ing
thinks there should be legislation to cover the transmission of gambling informatjor
across state ines so as to permit the Federal Bureau of Investigation to come ¥
into areas where they had not been permitted to in the past. vt {

-_

Senator Keating mentioned that there have been rumors that there €
has been some rift or difficulty between the Attorney General and J. Edgar Hoover.
Mr. Kennedy replied that there is certainly nothing to it; that he thinks their
relationship is of the best and they get along extremely well, Mr. Kennedy said”
he sees eye to eye with the Director on all of the matters and that he has a great
deal of admiration for him. Mr. Kennedy stated that the Director has made many
