THEME: "INTERNATIONAL COMMUNISM" . \

At 9:45 a.m. today while Wick talked with Ed Guthman, Director of
Public Information in the Department, Guthman stated that at 8:00 p.m. yesterday the
4 { \{ Attorney General decided to accept an invitation from Columbia Broadcasting System
~ { 4] (CBS) -- television network to appear on the television program "The Great Challenge’
z\" which will be telecast live $3-5-61. Edward R. Murrow, the new Director of U. 8.
‘| Information Agency, and Averéll Harriman will also probably appear. The moderator
of the program will be CBS' Howard K. Smith. . kK 7

Guthman said the Attorney General would like to have from us background
data in the form of a general orienting brief designed to acquaint the Att orney General
with international communism. Guthman said he believes that some 25 to 30 pages of
typed material dealing with international communism, its aims, purposes and activities
would suffice. The basic material could consist of two parts. The first part would be
the Communist Party USA (what it is, what it is doing -- spell out current trends and
dangers). The second part would deal with Soviet espionage and what the situation is. -
(This could be illustrated by cases, past and present.) Guthman pointed out that for
instance the current Kroger-Cohen case, its relationship to the 74] oa Sage, Beg >
interest,and possibly recent espionage cases handled by the FEL] ~

Frankly, said Guthman, E10 ot know precisely what than flotity
General will say or what course he will take but he does need basic material, guigde_.
lines, cases and suggestions as to how he should approach the matter So that he might
be fully equipped to discuss any phase of international communism. Mr. Guthman said
tke Attorney General would probably not start working on this matter until Possibly some
time late the week of 2-20-61. He would need the material around that tim BE ESE *ARCH

Wick related the above to Mr-~“{olson this morning W ‘who suggested that the

Jones to DeLoach memorandum
CONTACT WITH KENNEDY AS CHIEF COUNSEL OF MC CLELLAN COMMITTEE:

a In September, 1956, Kennedy and Senator John L: McClellan desired
% consult with the Director to insure that the activities of their Committee which
‘was investigating labor racketeering did not interfere with any FBI investigations
and so that the Bureau would know exactly what their Committee was planning to do.
As previously noted, however, the meeting between the Director and Kennedy and
McClellan did not take place. (62-98810-756)

On July 22, 1958, the Director informed Assistant Attorney General
Malcom Anderson that the Bureau's relations with Kennedy and his Committee had
been most cordial and that Kennedy and Senator McClellan had frequently stated
that a considerable amount of their success had been due to material furnished by the
Bureau to the Department for possible transmittal to Senator McClellan's Committee.
Assistant Attorney General Anderson felt that relations with Kennedy had become
less friendly. The Director pointed out that a number of memoranda prepared by
the Bureau for Kennedy's Committee had not been cleared by the Department and that
Kennedy's attitude possibly resulted because of the Department's refusal to accede
to requests made by Kennedy's Committee for information. (62-98810-793)

Q September 14, 1958, comments made by Kennedy appeared in
local newspapers to the effect that Kennedy's Committee had ceased to refer cases
to the Department of Justice because no action had been taken in any case. Kennedy
partially disclaimed these statements and the Department of Justice issued a press
release quoting a letter to Kennedy by Assistant Attorney General Malcom Anderson
setting forth cases being prosecuted by the Department based on information
developed by his Committee's hearings. (77-51387)

CONTACT DURING HOFFA CASE:

Just prior to the arrest of James Riddle Hoffa, subject of the Bureau's
Bribery and Obstruction of Justice--Conspiracy case, Kennedy expressed a desire
to be present when Hoffa was arrested. He was not permitted to do so and following
the arrest informed a representative of the Bureau that he then realized the rashness
of such a request and hoped it would not be held against him. He commented most
favorably upon the invaluable assistance afforded his Committee by the Bureau.
(58- 4044-195)
2 Following the acquittal of Hoffa in July, 1957, Kennedy informed a
Bureau representative of how upset he was at the outcome of the trial and stated
he felt the Bureau had done a superb job in investigating this case. (58-4044- 795)

“susyect: NATTORNEY GENERAL'S EFFORTS TO GET INTO BUREAU
~GYMNASIUM TUESDAY EVENING, 1/31/&l. KO- {
6:

Confirming my conversation with you last evening, the Attorney General
and at least one of his staff contacted the Bureau switchboard last night between
7:15 PM and approxi mately 7:45 PM in an effort to get access to the basement
gymnasium. A detailed memorandum from the switchboard operator is
attached. By the time the call was referred to me (approximately 7:45 PM)
the Attorney General and his companions had apparently returned to the -

| Attorney General's Office with the indication that he would try again the next
(day. An addendum m the switchboard operator's memorandum indicates that Mr.
Evans was informed by the Bureau operator and got in touch with Mr. Siegenthaler,
Executive Assistant to the Attorney General, and that the matter had been taken
care of. It will be noted in the switchboard operator's memorandum that when the
operator went back on the line after having asked the caller to hold on while she
located someone to help him, the individual holding the Line on the other end
was not the same one who had called, but stated that he was Mr. Watson, one
of the laborers and that the Attorney General had gme back to his office. I
subsequently got in touch with Mr. Watson who indicated that he had gotten
into the picture by giving the Attorney General access to one of the rooms in
the basement where he could use a phone and the Attorney General had asked
him to hold the line and tell the operator when she came back on the line that
he had gone back to his office and that everything was all right and that he

The mail which had accumulated for Mr. Kennedy while
he was out of the city was given to him this morning in his new
temporary office in the Justice Building. Kennedy was most cordial
and appreciative. He said he was just getting staff set up but
that since his personal secretary, Miss Ange: lovello, would be

in the Justice Building from now on, mail for him could most
logically be sent to him at the office in the Justice Building.

In addition to Miss Novello, on whom a memorandum has
previously been submitted, Kennedy has assisting him at this time as
an administrative assistant, Walter James Sheridan, a former Bureau

‘7
Agent. Sheridan entered on duty as a Bureau ‘Agent on December 4,
1950, After training school, he was assignéd to the Milwaukee,
Philadelphia and New York City Divisions. He submitted his voluntary
yesignation on October 22, 1954. His services were satisfactory.
Sheridan met_Bob’Kennedy while employed as an investigator for the
McClellan Committee. He also assisted the Kennedy forces during the

INFORMATION CONCERNING

for a number of years. He was the reporter from the Seattle afterrioon newspaper

%
I had lunch with Ed Guthman today since he and I have been friends Xy
_ “The Seattle Times‘ and covered the FBI Office while I was there. . KW

Ns

Since Guthman considers me an old friend, he discussed a number 1
of things with me as follows: . ”a
Ww
x

(i){ He is very much impressed with the suggestions and advice that he has

received from Mr. DeLoach and feels that De Loach is anxious to cooperate
and help him to get established in his new job.

Fe) He yecognizes that the Attorney General has a very unorthodox and direct

© ,.{ approach to everything--including the Bureau-~ but notes that "his motivati

‘_;]is good despite his approach." I had no comment to make to this but

“suggested that the Attorney General's predecessors who were somewhat

oc

i
4 ‘A oider than the present Aitorney Generali functioned in a very dignified and: 0
i. ._._‘: sedate manner. Guthman commented that the volume of material coming

into the Attorney General's office which necessitated handling was an
inducement toward direct action plus the fact that the Attorney General’
was only 35 years old. He thought that this would "simmer down" as the -
newness of the situation was overcome. .
qr
(3) Guthman's main fear is that he will not : be on sound ground in some of
#7 the material that becomes public and as a consequence is in a constant
5 -dilemma to point this up. He showed me a letter from a professor in
‘colorado to the White House protesting the Department of Defense's
utilization of the HCUA film, "Operation Abolition." The letter was
dated February 1, was forwarded from the White House on February 16 ©

Memorandum for the Director

LD

told our Agent he would probably tell Robert Kennedy
about this incident and he didn't have any objection if the FBI told
Kennedy.

ACTION TAKEN

Upon receipt of the above information, it was determined
Robert Kennedy was in the Caucus Room at the time in connection with
Senate hearings. Since he cai ldn't be reached on the phone, the facts
were related to Kennedy's administrative assistant who said he would
go to the Caucus Room and advise him. Kennedy subsequently called
C. A. Evans at the conclusion of the morning session of the hearings
and said he greatly appreciated our aler him to this and that he
had not previously been informed eed Kennedy said his gre
father is presently traveling in Frante that he would insure that his
father was properly advised concerning this matter.

{ wl


Merorandum to Mr. Rosen

a Kennedy comments, speaking about the Department, that
* T¢he lack of action by the Justice Department was disappointing.
He states some of the cases handled by the Department were lost
“through incompetence.” In this regard he cites that Senator
McClellan, who was a witness at the perjury trial of James Cross
(president of the Bakers Union, who was indicted for perjurious
testimony before the Committee and acquitted) made mo secret of
the fact he was highly critical of the way Government attorneys
presented the case,

With respect to the Hoffa wire tapping case, which was

tried in New York City, Kennedy claims Carmine Bellino, Committee
investigator, had furnished the U, S. Attorney handling the case
[information as to Hoffa's whereabouts which was pertinent to the
trial of the case. He states that he asked the U. S. Attorney
after the trial why (with the help of Bellino's memorandum) he

had mot been able to get his dates and places straight. The U. 8.

Attorney allegedly made the admission that be had not read Bellino's
| memorandum.

RECOMMENDATION:

The above is furnished for informational purposes.

Memorandum to Mr. Hoover

Re: EDWIN O. GUTHMAN
INFORMATION OFFICER

. ’ DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

¥ INFORMATION CONCERNING

“ that there have always previously been difficulties between the Attorney
General and Congress and that he might solicit advice from the Bureau
in connection with any handling along this line. Guthman had specific
reference to a legislative program which Attorney General Rogers had
submitted just before the end of 1960, Mr. Kennedy feels that this was
a very weak approach and he is very anxious to get going and to formulat
their own program for presentation to Congress. .

All in all, Guthman was extremely commendatory towards the
Bureau in his comments as to his appreciation of their friendliness and courtesy
_ and,I gather, does not intend to either take any major step himself or let the

Attorney General so do without checking with us. Guthman indicated that from

time to time, he will correspond with me on a personal basis and as this occurs
I will see that Mr. DeLoach is advised.

feelings that such a commission is not necessary, he issues grave warnings that
the crime problem is constantly increasing. He also said that while the FBI
shows great interest when stolen property is taken interstate, it shows no interest
when major mobsters move interstate. Parker added that he holds the Director
and the FBI in high regard and said, "The FBI are fine firemen but the house is
burning down." In this article Parker also refers to the work of the Los Angeles

. Kennedy was born November 20, 1925, at Boston, Massachusetts, and is the
son of Joseph P. Kennedy, former U. 8. Ambassador to England and prominent ‘financier.
Kennedy attended Harvard University and the University of Virginia Law School. He is the
brother of Senator John F. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts. His wife's name is
Ethel,and they are the parents of seven children, the last child being a girl born this month.

PRIOR CONTACT WITH DIRECTOR

Kennedy talked with the Director apparently on personal matters on
January 28, 1954, and February 15, 1954. He also met with the Director on 11-3-55 and
discussed his extended tour of Russia which he had made with Supreme Court Justice Wil-
liam Douglas the previous summer. The Director noted, "It is quite obvious that Mr. Ken-
nedy has returned from Russia with a rather dim impression of its economy and alleged
liberties."

BIOGRAPHICAL DATA

Kennedy also met with the Director on 4-26-56 and discussed the pending
appearance of Murray Chotiner. Chotiner was the campaign manager for Vice President
Nixon in the 1952 elections, and Kennedy's committee was considering calling Chotiner as
a witness. Kennedy also inquired of the Director as to whether the time had come to bring
Alger Hiss before his committee. The Director advised Kennedy that before any such move
was made it should be given very careful study and evaluation and thorough research
should be done beforehand. (77-51387-28)

Kennedy and Senator John L. McClellan were scheduled to call at the Bureau
on September 11, 1956, to discuss with the Director activities of the Committee on Govern-
ment Operations, particularly with regard to ways to curb Teamster President Jimmy Hoffa
In view of traveling commitments, however, a mutually convenient time could not be. no

worked out, and this meeting did not take place. (62-98810-256)

Memorandum to Parsons
RE: ATTORNEY GENERAL
ROBERT F. KENNEDY

wo @ was just touring the Justice Building and that he would assure him that
= the Gymnasium was available to him should he desire to use the facilities.

It appears that the Bureau Operator did everything that was
possible to handle this matter properly, particularly since the caller did
not initially identify himself as the Attorney General. It is noted that
many Bureau Officials were still at the office at the time the Attorney
General made his telephone call and that he could well have secured
appropriate information had he called one of them rather than dealing
with the telephone operator and if he had identified himself in his initial
telephone call.

form for replying back to the White House with a suggestion that it be
answered there since it obviously did not concern the Department of
Justice, was addressed to the White House, concerned the Department of
Defense and the legislative branch of the Government. He said that he

( would check with Mr. DeLoach on this.

«| He noted that the main interest at this time of the Attorney General is

in the campaign in connection with prominent hoodlums. Guthman is
anxious to see that the Attorney General doesn't go too far in public
proclamation as to what he is going to do as he is afraid that the previous
abortive attempt to handle the individuals in the Apalachin case will carry
lover thereby subject them to criticism in this endeavor. I pointed out
| /to him that the FBI had been very successful in a long-term policy of not

announcing what they were going to do but instead waiting until their

objective had been accomplished. He said his effort now was to try and

underplay any releases by the Attorney General in connection with this matter.
(5) | Guthman said that he felt woefully ignorant in connection with a number of
things such as international communism and juvenile delinquency which the
Attorney General was going to make several talks about. He said that he
| had conferred with Mr. DeLoach about this situation and that he, himself,

would like to get generally briefed so he was on solid ground in discussing

this matter with the Attorney General. I have told Mr. DeLoach concerning
this.

* (6) Guthman says that the Attorney General is very easy to work for and that
: he has no hesitation whatsoever in giving his viewpoint to the Attorney Gerfal
" who is considering him more than just a press representative but almost
in the position of being an advisor. Guthman feels that the press generally
are in the Attorney General's corner because of the friendliness of the

_ Attorney General's previous handling in connection with the McClellan

Comimittee; instead, he feels that the Attorney General's principal problem
will be in any relations that he has with Congress. I suggested to Guthman

On the evening of January 31, 1961, at 7:15 p.m. an unidentified
man called the Bureau Information Operator to ask for the extension in
the Justice Department Gymnasium, He insisted that he wanted the
Justice Department Gymnasium and was referred to the Justice Department.
In about five minutes he called back through the Justice Department _
Operator and asked for the room number of "your gymnasium." He
was told how to locate the Gymnasium and given the telephone extension.

At about 7:40 p.m. an unidentified man called and asked to speak
with someone in Security that could let him into the Gymnasium; upon
inquiry the caller identified himself as, "I'm calling for Kennedy, the
Attorney General." The operator initially called the Supervisor on duty
in the Domestic Intelligence Division and was referred to Mr. H. L Edwards.
When she returned to the line to obtain the name of the calling party a
charforce employee advised that the Attorney General had been at the
Gymnasium door but left word that everything was all right; he would
return tomorrow. The operator then advised Mr. DeLoach and this matter
was referred to this Division at 9:15 p.m.

A check was immediately made with Mr. John Siegenthaler,
Assistant to the Attorney General. Advice was received that Mr. Kennedy
and Deputy Attorney General White had been making a tour of the
basement area of the Justice Department Building. It is understood that

the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General had desired to see

Jones to DeLoach memorandum
THREATS AGAINST KENNEDY'S FAMILY: :

On August 7, 1958, the Bureau received information of a nonspecific
nature relative to possible physical attacks against Kennedy's children and his father,
Jgeeph Kennedy. This information was immediately furnished to Kennedy who was
most appreciative. A news comment on March 16, 1959, to the effect that Kennedy
had received threats that acid would be thrown in his children's faces was traced back
to the previously mentioned August, 1958, information. It was determined that no
new or specific threats had been received by Kennedy. (62-98810-804) (77-51387-32)

MISCELLANEOUS:

In March, 1954, Mr. Nichols, former Assistant to the Director, talked
with Kennedy concerning testimony in the Annie Lee Moss case and the Director noted,
"The attitude of Kennedy in this matter clearly shows need for absolute ci.rcum-
spection in any conversation with him." (121-2900-39)

Qn May 13, 1955, Kennedy was guest on Dave Garroway's television
program and was questioned concerning the Dr. John Peters case. His comments
concerning FBI were favorable. (121-4200-167)

Kennedy was contacted by Bureau Agents regarding the testimony of
Harry Lev before Kennedy's Subcommittee in connection with the manufacture of
military hats and caps. Kennedy was uncooperative and advised he would prefer
waiting until testimony was completed. The Director noted, in part, "Kennedy was
completely uncooperative until after he had squeezed all the publicity out of the
matter he could." (46-23395-107)

Kennedy, as Chief Counsel for Senate Committee on Government
Qperations, sent a letter to the Bureau dated December 20, 1955, requesting
examination af two documents to determine whether they were prepared on the
same typewriter. One document dated June 27, 1955, was on the letterhead of
A. C. Clothing Manufacturing Company, Atlantic City, New Jersey, signed by
Herman P. Kravitz, which was addressed to Kennedy. Letter advised Kennedy that
no improper demands had been made by personnel of A. .C. Clothing Manufacturing
Company for the award of contracts. The other document was a typewritten note
with wording similar to letter signed by Kravitz; however, the second document had
been torn into several pieces giving the appearance it had been retrieved from a
wastebasket. Laboratory examination revealed both documents were prepared on
same typewriter. Bufiles reflect Herman Kravitz was found guilty in U. S. District
Court, New York City, December 17, 1954, for embezzlement of Government property
and sentenced to pay a $5,000 fine. Bufiles also reflect Kravitz is listed as an indivi-
dual who is prohibited from entering into contractual relationship with the Army.

fullest and most excellent cooperation from the FBI. He stated that, of
course, they had not made any public statement to this effect because it
had been the understanding at the time Chairman McClellan sought from

extended that there should be no public indication of the relationship .

Mr. Robert Kennedy, Chief Counsel Page Two

“All of the foregoing facts, including the current status of each
case, have been made known to you through our established liaison, or by
we or Mr. Hundley, the Chief of our Organized Crime and Racketeering
Section. The men in the Criminal Division, I believe, have established
an outstanding record of convictions against labor racketeers and I inow
they are sincerely dedicated to success in this field.

“There is nothing in the law enforcement work which is more destruc-
tive and mischievous than public spectacles of persons engaged in such
work patting themselves on the back to the press and at the same time,
for added emphasis, criticizing other persons in law enforcement who are
working just as conscientiously for the same worthy objectives.

“All of us in the Department have supported and actively cooperated
with the Committee and staff in every possible way. The investigations
which the Committee under the Chairmanship of Senator John McClellan have
conducted have been effective and in the public interest. Knowing the
friendly relationship and cooperative effort that-have existed between

the Department and the Committee, I can hardly believe that your remarks
were authorized.

"The Department has stood and today stands ready to do everything
possible with the legal weapons at our command to convict labor racketeers
and perjurers. From the time the Hobbs Act (under which labor extortion
is prosecuted) was enacted in July, 2946, until January, 1953, only
three indictments were returned. From January, 1953 to date, the
Departmental records show that 114 labor racketeers were convicted.
Vigorous prosecution has been, is, and will continue to be our policy."

JANUARY 31, 1961 Q
Attached is John Cramer's column from the Washington Daily News ie |
2-20-61, captioned "This Time the FBI Didn't Get Its Man."" Cramer's column \

is apparently a garbled version of the Attorney General's efforts to get into the
Bureau gymnasium on the evening of Tuesday, 1-31-61. The newspaper article X
indicates that a detail of FBI Agents was assigned to investigate evidence that the \s
gymnasium had had an unauthorized after-hours visitor. The Agents reportedy _
called upon “the 63 year old Captain of the General Services Administration Guard N
at the Justice Building." The Guard Captain is the inferred source of Cramer's
information that the Attorney General had been admitted to the gymnasium and that &
when the Agents asked him by yhat authority he replied that the gymnasium is part
of the Justice Building and Mr.-Kennedy is boss of the Justice Department.

“i “= MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1958

- The Department of Justice made public today the following letter: Clnks

September 24, 1958 yyw

Mr. Robert Kennedy, Chief Counsel
101 Senate Office Building
Washington 25, D. C.

Dear Mr. Kennedy:

"In view of the fact that you have been kept continuously informed
of the progress of the investigation and analysis of the allegatic
perjury which have been referred to the Department of Justice by the
Senate Committee of which you are counsel, I was surprised to read in
today's newspapers that your Committee has ceased to refer cases to the
Department ‘because no action has been taken in any case.’ JI understand
now that you have stated that these remarks attributed to you in direct
quotes were not made and that you have issued a retraction. It is
inconceivable to me why you would make the other remarks attributed to
you on the eve of the presentation of two such cases to a grand jury,
especially since on Friday, prior to your press conference, you were
asked to be a witness in one of these cases and declined for personal
reasons,

trial lawyer in attendance at the hearings of your Committee. We have
received and studied the testimony of all witnesses and we have initiated
investigation in a number of cases in addition to the fourteen which your
Committee has referred for possible prosecution for perjury. All of the
ee in each group have been thoroughly investigated by the Federal

"As you are well aware, the Criminal Division has had an experienced ay

Bureau of Investigation and the results have been subjected to careful
and painstaking analysis by Departmental attorneys and, where the informa-
tion warranted, by the United States Attorney and pephsrs of hip’ staff.

-
“Of the fourteen cases which the k ther agRDeSferred to the
Department as involving perjury, eig! begnghGsed after investiga-

tion and study because the evidence ‘led to substantiate the allegations.
The Committee was formally notified of this action, together with the
[reasons for such action, by letters dated October 15, 1957, March 12

and 24, 1958 and April 25, 1958. As you well know, it takes a good deal
more evidence than just a conflict of testimony to develop a legal basis
for perjury prosecutions. Six cases remain under investigation and study, .
two of which I have referred to above.

Mr. one
Miss Gandy

- At 12:25 p.m. today ASAC Alexander of Los Angeles
called with respect to the above and Wick talked to him. He said
the Los Angeles Examiner issue of today has an article quoting
Parker as denying reports he had been offered the job to head a
National Crime Commission. The article states it was learned in
Washington that no steps have been taken to form such a Commission.
The reporter on his own goes on to say that presumably Robert Kennedy would corisult .
with J. Edgar Hoover before planning such a Commission to which, it is known,

Mr. Hoover is very much opposed. ‘No such consultation has been held between -
Kennedy and Hoover it was learned, " the article states. Mi i

" Parker is quoted as stating that he conferred with one of Kennedy's
assistants recently and the Crime Commission matter was just briefly mentioned.
Parker is quoted further as saying that Kennedy has advocated the idea of 3 a Crime

Cammission and Mr. HWoaover has annoced it aver the veare = tha

Commission and Mr. Hoover has opposed it over the years beginning in 1952 before the

International Association of Chiefs of Police.

ASAC Alexander says that after Parker learned of the Mirror story
yesterday, Parker called in radio and television people telling them he had not been
offered the job to head the Crime Commission. He then pretty much reiterated his {
remarks which appear in the Los Angeles Examiner today. He amplifies these, however,
to point-out that the FBI since 1952 has fought a resolution before the IACP for a Crim

mmission e 8a e Director has alwavs been opposed to a Crime Commission
Commission. He said the Director has always been opposed toa Crime Commission ‘ $

and he, Parker, has been for it and still is. : os
~” On one of the television stations last night, George Putnam, newscaster, )

had Parker as his guest. Parker was queried by Putnam as to his views which Parker No)

freely expressed. In conjunction with the television cast, Putnam showed a filmed clif~

presumably from "Meet the Press" during the Kennedy campaign for President

| wherein Robett Remedy is shown stating that with respect to the Apalachin meeting no }
|e knew anything about it but if 60 communists get together the Government knows

about it at once. Parker said he certainly agreed with Kennedy's observation, that bothTM
he and Kennedy believed in a National Crime Commission, that he, Parker, had NO

presented a resolution before the LACP recently which Mr. Hoover Opposed and defeated.

Mr. Tolson suggested that as a guide for the brief the Domestic
Intelligence Division utilize the address given by Inspector W. C.Sullivan before a
Tucson group 1-15-61, a tape of which we have in the office. Around and within this
address can be built the orienting brief containing the basic material desired by the
Attorney General.

In addition to the above brief, it is believed we should make available
to Guthman copies (attached) of "Expose of Soviet Espionage - May 1960," and
“Communist Target - Youth" for the Attorney General's use.

That this memorandum be referred to the Domestic Intelligence

Jones to DeLoach memorandum

In January, 1956, Kennedy called the Bureau and expressed concern
that a Bureau official had contacted Minority Counsel Juliana rather than himself
concerning a matter of official business. The Director stated as follows: "I
think Kennedy is basically right. H." (77-51387-28)

On March 5, 1957, Kennedy forwarded a copy of "The FBI Story"
and requested it be autographed by the Director. It was so autographed and
returned to him on 3-6-57. (77-51387-29)

According to a news story which appeared in "The Washington Post"
on 8-7-59, Kennedy reportedly stated that he had received several offers of 1960
political support for his brother, Senator John F. Kennedy, if he would go easy
on certain witnesses before the McClellan Committee. The article reflects that
Kennedy dismissed all such propositions. The Bureau learned subsequently, from
the Administrative Assistant of the McClellan Committee, that according to Kennedy
the press had unduly enlarged upon offhand remarks he had made to reporters and
there had been no real basis for such remarks. (94-37374-16)

Mrs. Robert Kennedy called the Bureau on May 4, 1959, to see if
the Bureau could check files on a man who was seeking employment with the Kennedy
family and who she believed had formerly worked for the FBI. Inquiry determined
that this individual had not worked for the Bureau and she had mistakenly concluded
he had because of a statement that he had done security work. (77-51387-33)

In August, 1959, the Bureau received information concerning
possible McClellan Committee hearings on the United Auto Workers Union, and

and Democrat members of the committee were in dispute relative to calling Gosser,
and Senator McClellan's Administrative Assistant advised that Republican members
of the committee were fearful that if evidence available against Gosser was made known
to Kennedy and his brother, Senator John Kennedy, a committee member, it would be
immediately leaked to Walter Reuther. McClellan's Administrative Assistant
commented that the Republicans might have a point as he felt the Kennedy brothers
were close to Joseph L. Rauh, Reuther's Washington attorney. (62-103771-1472)
