. . . » ~ os ’ . —_, : y wo lod ' . rt . . ‘ Interview of Donald E. Moore by Mr. James Dick of the Senate Select Committee Staff After being sworn by Senator Huddleston, I was interviewed | , under oath by Mr. James Dick in the Old Carroll Arms Hotel on | 1 October 1975. The interview started at approximately 1020 hours | and lasted until 1345. During the interview 1 was shown numerous Bureau documents and asked questions about them. Some of the meetings described in the. documents I had no recollection about but I answered all the questions to the best of my ability. I said that Mr. Hoover had personally approved the various mail programs. On some memoranda whicx did not go to Mr. Hoover's 1 office and-were signed off by Mr. BelmontI said I thought this was | because Mr. Hoover had approved the program either orally or ina | prior memorandum and therefore I thought Mr. Belmont did not send the subsequent memorandum in to Mr. Hoover. | Iwas asked if any Attorney General ever was informed of the : mail program and I advised that the only one I personally knew was advised was Attorney General Katzenback, I explained that sometime in 1965 I received a phone call from Mr. Belmont on a Saturday morning and he asked me to come to his office as we needed to see the Attorney General with regard to some testimony the previous | day before a subcommittee chaired by Senator Long of Missouri. Mr. Belmont, in his office, advised me that Chief Postal Inspector i Henry Montague had appeared before the Long Committee and had | been told before his testimony not to answer any questions that might relate to national security matters, When he was asked whether mail ever left the custody of the Post Office Department he answered no as he believed to decline to answer would be tantamount to a yes and could affect national security. Mr. Belmont talked to Mr. Tolson i by phone and thereafter we met the Attorney General in his office. Courtney Evans, former Bureau Assistant Director and then a | Special Assistant to the AG, was also present but Mr. Dick did not i ; | f i ALL INFORMATION CONT.

| I od . . . . « NW 35079 Doocld: 32999536 Page 64 * ask me who was present and I did not volunteer Courtney's name. Either Mr. Montague had contacted the AG or Mr. Belmont had mentioned the matter to him for as I recall the AG was aware of the problems when we arrived. After discussing the matter, as I recal* the AG said he would try to see Senator Long to get the matter resolved. Mr. Dick asked if we told the AG we were opening the mail we received from the Post Office and I said I could not specifically recall this. He asked if we would have advised the AG if he had asked and I said yes. As to whether I learned later if the AG ever discussed this with Mr. Hoover and if we were advised to discontinue I said I knew of no such discussion, if one took place, and we were not told by Mr. Hoover to discontinue until mid-1966. I also did not know if the AG saw Senator Long. Mr. Dick asked about the Baltch case and if I had informed former Assistant Attorney General Yeagley about mail intercepts rm the case andI said had. He asked if Mr. Yeagley had informed the Attorney General and I said I did not know but I believe that Attorney General Kennedy was advised by the Bureau later. AsI recall when trial started the US Attorney had made a statement that required the government to either amend the statement or drop the case and after Cuurtney Evans, then still in the Bureau, had advised the AG of the mail intercept the AG decided the case should be dropped. Mr. Dick asked if 1] was aware of a briefing Attorney General Kennedy received in the New York office and if I knew whether the mail programs were discussed. I said I remembered the briefing, understood it was very comprehensive, but I do not khow if it covered the mail programs, * 2 Mr. Dick asked if I knew whether any other Attorneys General had been advised of the Bureau's mail programs and I said I did not know of any. I also did not know of any Postmaster General who had been advised, or Presidents, With regard to‘the Hunter Project I said I had been aware of it from the time the FBI started receiving material from it. I could not recall how we were first advised but I believe either the Post Office suggested we go to CIA or the Post Office went to CIA and suggested we be advised. He asked if Mr. Hoover was aware of it and I said he was. ~ 2 ado. - Tr
Mr. Dick asked me various questions about my contacts with Mr. Montague, several of which were set forth in the various Bureau memoranda Iwas shown. With regard to the institution of Z coverage in New York City he asked me if we first made contact with the Chief Postal Inspector her: and I said we did. He asked who contacted him and I said I believed Mr, Boardman contacted Mr. Stephens who was then the Chief Postal Inspector. Mr. Dick asked if I had ewer contacted Mr. Stephens and I said to the best of my recollection I had never met him and was quite sure i had not contacted him on any mail program. In response to a question as to whether I had ever advised Mr. Montague the FBI opened mail received from the Post Office I said I had not, ITadvised Mr. Dick 1 knew of no mail intercepts by the FBI after 1966 and was quite sure there had beer none, NW SS079 Doeld: 329895356 Page &5 wrens ae ecrPA renERIRAiR pr iertett ee Wer orYPt TPO TTT Troy Srnnrperrmatenpt rrrnnfetnr Act taser ctr PARTS TS SR PETS A
