el

be o i. 4
In the attached copy of a newspaper article which / ‘

appeared in the Washington Evening Star of 10/25/67, it is

reported that former Attorney General Robert F, Kennedy, in

testifying during the conflict of interest trial or toruer

Representative Thomas-¥.-JOhnson ot Maryland, stated that he .

had never authorized the use of wiretapping in the Johnson case

and also had not authorized the use ot wiretapping in the Hoffa

case. meme

a“

This, of course, is the sage line which Kennedy has
adopted previously whenever the question of his authorization ,.~
of the use of electronic surveillances in criminal matters has
arisen, Without specifically saying so, Kennedy appears to be _
distinguishing between the use of wiretaps and the use of uM
microphone surveillances, and thereby skirting the truth, While .»
we have no knowledge that Kennedy authorized the use of wire- a

taps in the Hoffa investigation, we do know that he had requested:
the Bureau to put a microphone on :

The microphone was un- ¢

productive ot any substantial information,

ACTION: ts

This -meworandum is subaittea for information and to
record the fact that Kennedy is still maintaining the fiction that
while Attorney General he had nothing to do with electronic

surveillances. / _ 103

ROBERT F. ENNEDY i i Ye
"MEET THE PRESS" TV PROGRAM “
SUNDAY, AUGUST 6, 1967

Attached is an article from The Washington Post |
and Times-Herald" of August 7, 1967, concerning Senator Robert F.
Kennedy's appearance on the "Meet the Press" television program
yesterday afternoon. As noted in the attached article, the questions
asked Kennedy dealt primarily with Vietnam and the war on proverty--
and Kennedy expressed his view that additional funds are needed to
fight proverty in this country, as well as that the South Vietnamese
troops should be doing more of the fighting in that country. ~~ .

In addition, Kennedy answered a question concerning
his possible candidacy for President in 1968 by stating that he has asked
the people who are promoting him for President and Senator J. W.
Fulbright for Vice President to desist in their efforts. Futhermore, a
number of questions were asked him in such a manner as to invite him
to criticize President Johnson, and he carefully evaded such criticism.

With respect to a question concerning Stokely Carmichael
and H. Rap Brown, he said that if either Carmichael or Brown has
violated the law--State or Federal--he should be prosecuted.

RE: 8.917 Pew we

~ In this regard, when Senator Kennedy initially offered the” |
amendment concerning the National Institute in the Subcommittee, he .
indicated it was acceptable to him to have the FBI responsible for training: - .
This, in effect, would create two National Institutes and, because of this, ~.
the Kennedy amendment was rejected in the last meeting of the Subcommittee.
Flug obviously is attempting to cloud the issue and imply that the FBI is

willing to ca: out its training functions under the direction of a Nationg],
en' istic e will make sure this er-
{ rone: ‘ore the Committee meeting.

Republican me: 8 of the Committee, according to Pete
Velde, Minority Associate C on the Subcommittee, are unanimous
in favor of block grants--grants of money directly to the states for dis-
tribution to state and local agencies at the direction of the Governor for
ithe improvement of law enforcement rather than placing the control of
such grants in the hands of the Attorney General. The Department is
strongly opposed to this issue. This issue was not considered in Sub-
committee due to its highly controversial nature. The vote on this issue
will be very close.

Velde stated he feels certain Senators Dirksen, Hruska, and
Thurmond will support the FBI's training provision in the bill. He is un-
certain of what action Senator Fong will take in this regard. Senator Scott
is out of the country and will not be present for the meeting. Senator Dodd
also is expected to be absent due to his illness. These are the only absentees
anticipated.

We are continuing to follow very closely developments con-
cerning this legislation and are staying in close contact with our friends
on the Committee in an effort to prevent the Department and Senator Kennedy
from sabotaging the provisions of the bill placing law enforcement training
responsibilities under the direction of the FBI.

Bobby's friend, Joha F. Reill
meat, who arranged to have Otto Gs~pka’s telephone
tapped illegally and who alleged! itted perjury
when he testified before the Senate Internal Security
subcommittee and was therefore forced to resign. He

was never prosecuted for periury by his friend Bobby
was never prosecuted for perjury by his friend Bobby

but was actually given anothercushy goverment job.

Bobby, who was taking his advice and, perhaps,
orders, from important leftists, had decided that
Lyadoa Jobnsoa, thea Vice President, should not
be allowed another term ia office. Since it was
desired that ILBJ should be replaced by amore accept-
able man, reportedly Arthur Goldberg, Bobby under-
took to discredit LBJ with the investigation of the
Billy Sol Estes and Bobby Baker cases. These
scandalous cases were to be used to prevent LBJ
from receiving the Vice-Presidential renomination.
The assassination of Joha F. Kennedy, however,
upset all these plans. LBJ was now the President
of the United States, in a position to remove Bobby
which he did with as much speed as protocol allowed.

After the assassination of JFK, Bobby found
himself in the position of being under the very man

he had set out to destroy. Whi

General it is no secret that there was bad blood
between John Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI,
and himself. NEWSWEEK magazine of December 26,
1966, stated: ‘‘For years the bad blood ran silent
and deep between Robert F. Kennedy and J. Edgar

Hoover with only an issue to turn their cold war
hon’?

Bobby was Attorney
was Attorney

J. Edgar Hoover had refused to allow the FBI
to become involved in some of the matters that
Bobby, as Attomey General, wanted to handle. How-
ever, Bobby had s special detail of men working
under his direct supervision and had a nationwide
private detective agency under confidential con-
tract. This agency had contracts with other govern-
ment departments and was used to put in eavesdrop-
ping devices where the FBI would not allow themselves
to become involved. This private agency has offices
in a number of large cities and was especially active
in the South. Their wiretapping activities became
80 widespread that Congressmen, Senators, news-
papermen and many patriotic government employees
had reason to believe that their telephones were
tapped.

Not only did Bobby Kennedy know of the FRI
wiretaps which were used in national security and
major crime cases, but he also knew of the wide-
spread use of these practices by the Internal Reve-
nue Service, the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare, the Treasery Department, the Post
Otfice Department and other government agencies
whose activities have been brought to light by Sena-
tor Long’s Committee. In a frantic effort to preserve
his public image, Bobby has made the serious mis-
take of trying to slyift the blame for his own actions

over to the Fg" Edgar Hoover, who has served

ander maay prbyfocats and Attorneys General since é
1924, is sot 2 allow is depatiment to be dis
credited. This Mave to be a fight 1o the finiak.

. That Bobby has his eye on the presidency is
well knowa. LBJ outmaneuvered him at the 1964
Conveatioa and wany think that Bobby will have to

wait until 1972 but others advance reasons that he ©

will try for 1968. The publication, WASHINGTON
OBSERVER, states in its December 30, 1966 issue:
“Incidentally Bobby claims that he will not make a
run for the Presidency in 1968 but will wait for 1972.
However, sources close to him say that he is merely
following the usual Kennedy family strategy of always
aiming at two targets simultaneously and, at the last
moment, being prepared to make @ lightesing-like
decision to hit the target which is most opportune.

“One thing needling Bobby to make his stad at
the top job early is his wife, Ethel. When found
out about his romance with the late Marilya Monroe,
she threatened to divorce him. Bobby has been on
his good behavior ever since, realizing that adivorce
would kill his political ambitions.”

By some coincidence the same date this story
reached the public, the residence and laboratory of
Bernard B. Spindel, a nationally known wiretapping
expert, were raided by police on charges of illegal
eavesdropping. The WORLD JOURNAL TRIBUNE
reported on December 18, 1966, ‘“‘The entire nine-
hour police raid on the upstate home of one of 28
eavesdropping experts indicted Thursday was itself
recorded on the expert’s own equipment, the World
Journal Tribune was told yesterday.......Bernard B.
Spindel,
consultant, did the bugging as an eight-man team of
state police and officials from the office of FrankS.
Hogan, New York district attorney, searched his

home and laboratory at Kent Township in Putnam -

County.......°There was no need for the search war-

rant. This was a fishing expedition. They wanted .

to find out exactly what we have and they must have
gone through 6,000 pieces of paper before they left
about 3:30 p.m.,” said Spindel.”

On Wednesday, December 21, 1966, the N.Y.
TIMES reported that Spindel had asked the N.Y.
State Supreme Court to force the District Attorney to
return hundreds of items allegedly seized in the
raids. The TIMES stated, “In an affidavit submitted
to the court, Bernard Spindel asserted that some of
the seized material contained ‘tapes and evidence
concerning circumstances surrounding and causes
of death of Marilyn Monroe, which strongly suggests
that the officially reported circumstances of her
denise are erroneous.”

In addition to the reference to Mies Monroe ia
the Spindel affidavit, there was also a statement th
some of the seized material contained an original

tape recording of a conversation taker im @ cae |

there was wive-tapping and eavesdropping during the
Kennedy A.‘xinistratioa that bad no connection with
the F.5.:., but apparently did have the approval of
the highest: political appointees of the Kennedy
Administration. o” Fle

~ Pacl Harvey has stated: “Kennedy, a as Attorney
General, did some personal eavesdropping on con-
versations not involving national security.......
there were many times during Kennedy’s tenure as
Auorney General whea J. Edgar Hoover refused
‘requests’ irom his superior’s office. ‘We can’t do
that, Generail” was often the Director’s decision on
soge ‘request® during those deplorable days when
the Justice Department was a shirt-sleeve part-time
kennel, part-time nursery, part-time touch-football

tac Consiitscion of the United States; all should be
grateful that for forty-one years J. Edgar Hoover has
done a mag: ificent job to help hold back the com-
munist take-over of our country. He is entitled,

te jarciess of political pressures, to have the full

truth brought out and hie name and record cleared of
charges ..ade by Bobby Kennedy. The American
public also is entitled to know some of the sordid
cetails of ihe career and activities of Bobby, the
Catzetroagging Senator from New York.

There is no doubt but that the Manchester
book, ““The Death of a President,” which has gottea |
millions of dollars worth of free publicity, is meant
‘to glorify the Kennedys and in particular Robert
Kennedy is said to emerge as a ‘‘hero.’® Far from
the book really being out of Keanedy control, Robert

Kcanedy has been reported as Stating: “It’s our
manuscript, and we can release it at our leisure.’*
The big furor over it will only increase its sales
and, since it reportedly makes President Johnson
seem iixe ‘‘some kind of a monster,” it is probably
Piuaned to use the book to torpedo Johnson and
push Bobby into the presidency.

Bobby has tricd to make himself the “‘leader’*
of the “‘new left’® and has been playing up to all tne
student ‘‘dissenters.”" He also courts the “‘minority
groups.” A new book concerning the B’nai B'rith
contains s. Preface signed by Robert Kennedy in
wach he states: ‘To read thie laudable history (of

«add

F. Kennedy; James Kelly and “cde! concerning
James Hoffa. Mr. Spindel alleged tape record-
ings aod files im the Marilyn Mskvoe death case
in facts and data ia which the names of
naedy and Peter Lawford are mentioned.

In the book, “The Strange Death of Marilyn
Monroe,’* the name of Robert F. Kennedy is featured
and Peter Lawford is showa as a character reference
ty Patricia Neweomb, Marilyn’s press secretary,
who suddenly weat to Europe after Marilyn’s death
and who was put on the government payroll after her.
Teturn and was later aasigned to an office next to
Bobby Kennedy's. Miss Newcomb had claimed that
she was with Marilyn most of the twenty-four hours
preceding her death and, after Marilyn’s funeral,
immediately flew to the Kennedy “compound” at
Hyannisport before departing for Europe where she
stayed forsix months until all official investigations
had ceased conceming Marilyn’s death.

Tn associating the hallowed name of Kennedy

with the Hollywood star, your editor was the sub-—

ject of much vilification, evea by the staid WALL
STREET JOURNAL. However, Mr. Spindel has stated
that his tapes and files (of which he still has extra
copies) support the allegations in the book, and
even go much further. Mr. Spindel also stated that
the tape recording of Robert Kennedy, James Kelly
and himself, having to do with the Hoffa Case,
allegedly shows that Robert Kennedy offered him a
bribe and that the facts have been recorded in an
unpublicized government hearing. ‘

James Hoffa was convicted in Tennessee for
allegedly having tampered with a jury. There are in
existence numerous affidavits showing that employ-
ees of the Department of Justice allegedly tampered
with the jury that was hearing the Hoffa case. The
Congressional Record of May 4, 1964, Page 9699
shows the statement of Congressman Glenn Cunningham
of Nebraska in which he asked and received per-
mission to place into the record an article which
appeared io ip the Washington EVENING STAR of

led, ‘As Odor of Police State

by an iam S. White. Ta this article Bobby
Kennedy is held responsible for illegal wiretapping
and federal snoopery over the mailofprivate persons.
Speaking of the Hoffa tial, Congressman Cunning-
ham stated, ‘*I would like to call to the attention of
my colleagues the unhappy fact that a oumber of
witnesses who are available to testify on pertinent
facts regarding the Hoffa trial have been subjected
to various pressures including threats of physical
violence, economic reprisal and other forms of in-
timidatioa.”

If, as appears to be the ease, the trial of | James
Hoffa was a crose miscartiage of justice and the
result of a personal vendetts of Bobby Kennedy, the
truth should be made public. The case reeks of
wizetapping, tampering with the jury. bribery and
paid informers. Hoffa has offered a reward of $100,000
for evidence to preseat to the Supreme Conrt that

the numerous w:ifcsses available, it would be en-
titled to this reward which could then be used to

in Vietnam by the communist VietCong to whom Bobly .

Kennedy is willing to give his blood. -

There is little doubt that J. Edgar Hoover.

would be willing to appear before the Long Com-
mittee to present facts under oath to support his

allegations that Robert Kennedy, when Attorney —

General, not only knew about wire taps and elec-
tronic bugging, but actually increased the aumber

used and listened im on some of them. A U.S. -

Government Memorandum, dated August 17, 1961,

has been made public on the subject of “‘Microphone. ~ }

Surveillances.’” It reads: “The Attorney General
was contacted on the morning of August 17, 1961,

“with reference to the situation in New York City

conceming the obtaining of leased lines from the
telephone company for use in connection with wi-
crophone surveillances. This matter was discussed
with the Attorney General and he was shown a copy
of the proposed letter which would be used. The
Attorney General approved the proposed procedure
in this regard and personally signed the attached
memorandum evidencing such approval.”

The document with the personal signature of

. Robert Kennedy reads as follows: “In connection

with the use of microphone surveillances it is fre-
quently necessary to lease a special telephone line
in order to monitor such a surveillance.....In the
New York City area the telephone company has over
the years insisted that a letter be furnished to the
telephone company on each occasion when a special
telephone line is leased by the FBI. It is required
that such a lease arrangement be with the approval
of the Attorney General. In the past we have re-
stricted the utilization of leased lines in New York
City to situations involving telephone taps, all of
which have been approved by the Attorney General...
We have not previously used leased con.

nection with microp! surveillance; -. U we
are permitted to use leased telephone lines as an
adjunct to our microphone surveillances (electronic
bugging), this type of Coverage can be materially
extended both in security and major criminal cases.
Accordingly, your approval ef our uw! zing this
leased line arrangement is requested...” This
approval was given by Robert Kennedy’ 's personal
signature.

BOX 3 ZAREPHATH, W. J.

JANUARY 13, 1967

VOLUME X NO» i2--

22h S2..4i-- J. EDGAR HOOVER vs. ROBERT F. KENNEDY _

“what was going on there. Later at Oakland, Califor-
. pie, be became a close associate of J. Robert

A coatecversy of major proportions has devel-
oped which involves the truthfulness and integrity
of the adversaries. As U.S. NEWS AND WORLD
REPORT stated om December 26, 1966, ‘‘Now out in
the open and heading toward a public showdownis a
dispute that could prove important to the political
future of Senator Robert F. Kennedy (Dem.), of New York.

“The issue: Did Mr. Keanedy, when he was U.S.
Attorney General, authorize the Federal Bureau of
Investigation to use electronic eavesdropping devices
- which are known as ‘bugs’ - in making criminal
investigations?

“*J. Edgar Hoover, longtiaie Director of the FBI,
says Mr. Kennecy did.

“Mr. Kearedy says he didn’t.

“Senator Edward V. Long (Dem.), of Missouri,
says he will invite both to testify before his sub-
committee which is investigating ‘invasions of pri-
vacy’ by electronic snooping.”

The devious progress of Robert F. Kennedy to
the point where he can hope to win the presidential
acmination in 1968 started with the plane of an ambi-
t.oue father. Back in the early 1930°s Joseph Kennedy,
St. was a heavy financial contributor and a strong
supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt in his first try
for the presidency. Already a multi-miltionaire,
Kennedy Sr. had an obsession to establish the
Kennedy family ae a political dynasty, much as
royalty was created in the past, by seizing power.

After Franklin D. Roosevelt ascended to the
highest office in the U.S. Government in 1933, Joseph
Kennedy, Sr. was appointed to several government
positions, finally becoming Ambassador to Great
Britain in 1937. His oldest son, Joseph, Jr., was .
originally selected for the political career which was
to end in the White House. Joseph Jr. was sent to
the London School of Economics (Fabian Socialist)
wiere Harold Laeki made him his protege, taking
him to Moscow to introduce him to the important
Soviet leaders. Laski, a Fabian-Socialist leader,
worked closely wi elix Frankfurter who was respon-
sible for introducing Alger, Hise into government
service ag well as Te of ay estionable loyalty to

Unfortunately, Joseph Jr. was killed, nullifying all
the work that went into buildiog him up, so the next
in line was called upon. This was Joha who finally
aB aleo sent is
the London School of Econom: and was also a
special protege of Harold Laski. Reportedly Joha
was not politically ambitious but was complying .
with his father’s wishes when he embarked on a
political career after his atint as a newspaper man.

Robert Kennedy, however, was politically ambi-
tious but had to stay in the background while his
brother was being maneuvered into the presidency.
Reportedly he was jealous and resentful and insisted
on being made Attorney General when his brother
became President. This JFK did against the advice
of wiser mea than he and the American public was
shocked. The position of Attorney General gave
Bobby access to confidential records and power
which he used to the hilt. He assumed more and
more power, injecting his influence and decisions
into other government departments, including the
State Department, Defense Department and Treae-
ury Department.

Kennedy, became the place where decisiuus were

When Bobby Kennedy, pipsqueak turned Attor-

T. E. Bishop to DeLoach Memo
RE: 8, 917. ;

Senators comprise the so-called liberal members of the Committee.

Indications are Senator Kennedy will offer a substitute bill when the full

. Committee meets next week. This bill reportedly is now being prepared
| | and allegedly will contain provisions closely similar to the administration's

original proposals with the addition of Senator Kennedy's amendment es- ° .

; tablishing a National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice

to direct law enforcement education, training, research and demonstration:

projects. The Kennedy-~Department substitute bill reportedly will contain

no reference to the FBI and will eliminate the provisions for our handl!

law enforcement training activities. . : :

James Flug, Legislative Assistant to Senator Kennedy whose
lanimosity toward the FBI is well known, has been the prime liaison repre-
sentative between the Senators and the Department of Justice. James Wood, -
jAssociate Counsel on the Criminal Laws and Procedures Subcommittee, this “
morning (11-22-67) advised he had talked with Terry Seigal, Legislative Aid ~*~
ito Senator Hart, and Seigal commented that Flug apparently has no real hope
lof elminating the FBI provision from the bill. Seigal commented that FBI
{) representatives who have talked with various members of the Committee
ihave convinced enough of them of the logic of FBI direction of training so
ithat any effort to kill this portion of the bill is doomed to failure; hence, he
feels no real attempt will be made to knock out the FBI provision. This, of
course, may be true, but we know Department of Justice officials are opposed.
to our having control of the training procedures, and Flug can be expected to
-- - use every possible trick to eliminate the FBI provision from the bill. : _ peo.

Saaty eterna namacaauranteite acacea msec occas

: Wood stated copies of the Kennedy-Department substitute bill
" are expected to be circulated prior to the Committee meeting next week, and .
every effort will be made to obtain a copy of this bill as soon‘as one is available.

B .

. We (Messrs. DeLoach, Bishop and Bowers) have talked to all
members of the Committee or their Legislative Assistants earlier this month
explaining our interests in the training provision contained in captioned bill
except Senator Kennedy and Senator Tydings. Recontacts are being made

_ With our friends before the Committee meeting to insure they still are aware
of our interests. This is essential since Flug reportedly has told some staff
fects that the FBI does not oppose Senator Kennedy's proposed National. «

Ciark Mollenaoii also advised that Congressman Gross
will conclude his letter to Mir. Eoover by asking that Mr. Eoover keep

Director set forth the true facts, supported with documentation, cca-
cerning the anproval of the Attorney General for the use of electronic

Gross is convinced the FSI utilized electronic eavesdropping techniques
