Boliticai organization to vote out the traitors and vote in the patriots is one, Pressure by personal appeais,, petitions, letters and telegrams is another. But the time cones when the enemy, feeling strong and secure enough, shamelessly : ignores these efforts of the people, and makes ready to replace } constitutional government with socialistic tyranny openly and .Quickiy. Then there is yet anether course of action left: The ' organization of a powerful, armed resistance force to defeat the ‘aims of the usurpers and bring about a return of constitutional ' government, j "The formation of such a nation-wide force, under the second article of the Sill of Rights, and for the legitimate purpose of preventing a ccommunistic takeover of their beloved country, with the to.al loss of their freedom, cannet fail to bring into being again that soverelenty which, under our form of government, is based upon the peopie, Government rules by the consent of the governed, and, when the governed refuse further ts eonsent to heing betrayed, then beware! Those in government who have been Loyai need have ne fear, But when the day comes that ' the people, in the exercise of their constitutional rights and sovereignty once more take up arms as they did in 1776, then must the traiters take flight. .For the wrath of a free and mighty people, a Ged fearing peopie, against atheistic tyrants can be terrible and swift. 2: pray te God that courses one and two will Burrice, but if they doe not, then = pray te Ged that this last instrumentality be given His grace tc discharge our obligation to defend those sacred rights He, and He aione, gave unto us,” "/s/_P.

An attempt would be made to devise a procedure to to periodically review them to determine whether they’ should be retained (Tr. 16-17). 3.

Confixrmarion that this remains ‘true today might be obtained. 4, ° Measures vould be taken to minimize the opportunity for the FBI to be misused (Tr. 24). 5. Director Kelley was directed to report to the Attor- ney General practices or requests to the FBI which are or may appear to be improper (ix. 27-28). This direction was repeated in July, 1975. The FBI documents informing the Bureau of this cerning actual or apparent impropriety have been reported to the Attorney General should be listed. 6.

Wolf New - 7 : Attorney General’s SSC testimony regarding the FBI --. Meeting with SSC Staff _. - On November 24, 1975 Doug Marvin, Jack Fuller, Mike Shaheen, Ray Hornblower and I met with John ELLiff and Mark Gittenstein of the SSC staff to discuss the Attorney General's testimony regarding the FBI now scheduled for December 10, 1975. 4 The SSC has already had public testimony concerning tre FBI from its staff and Jim Adams. It plans to have two days of relevant hearings next week, one on the Fs. informant pro- gram and another on Department of Justice supervision of the FBI. On the latter subject, the SSC hopes to have as witnesses - former FBI officials Sullivan and DeLoach and former Attorneys General Rogers, Katzenbach and Clark. During the week of December 1, 1975, the SSC proposes to hear public testimony from’ Williams Rucxelshaus, Henry Petersen, and Joseph Califano on FBI domestic inteiligence activities, Clarence Kelley on the impacc certain proposals would have on the FBI, and the Attorney General on controlling the FBI. The SSC may also request executive session testimony from the Attor- ney General on the FBI’s activities relating to foreign intelli- gence. Gittenstein and ELLiff described 5 areas which the SSC would like to discuss publicly with the Attorney General. These are: 1. The legal authority for FBI domestic intelligence activities, including whether President Rooseveit had the authority to initiate the program and, if so, whether his authorization was properly construed by the FBI. 2. The breadth of the FBI's domestic intelligence operations, which included women's liberation groups and Martin Luther King, and whether the FBI manual or the proposed guidelines would permit activities directed against such groups today or in the future. ary, nFORMATION CONTAINED DocId: 32989554 Page 123 \ 00 BY OE 7

Whether guidance given to the FBI is being followed and how this can be assured. Related qrnstions include whether the FBI can properly investigate itself, whether the Department ‘ of Justice should have an Inspector General, and whether GAO should be involved in regularly auditing FBI activities. In the course of discussion, ELLiff£ and Gittenstein alluded to several other’ questions which might be raised. These include: qr 1. Should internal security activities be permitted at c ell, can what E1Liff£ called the “Stone Standard” be readopted? 2. The question raised by the Martin Luther Keng case of wha degree of suspected or actual connection with a foreign government should be required to trigger surveillance or . investigation of a domestic group? How should “infiltration” be defined? 3. How does a domestic intelligence inve stigation di a cximinal investigation and can the dif £ ferences be ju 4. Should there be a statute explicitly authorizing and limit- ing domestic intelligence activities? If so, what should be authorized? 5. What happens to information compiled in the course of unlaw- ful surveillances or activities initiated on the basis of reasonable beliefs which prove to be unfounded? ELLif£ asked whether the proposed FBI guidelines could be dis-. tributed to members of the SSC and used as a basis for discussion at the hearings. We indicated we would consider this request. ec.

WolfNiW Questions suggested by FBI testimony of SSC Staff and Jin Adams a Mike Shaheen's office is preparing a synopsis of the . testimony regarding the FBI presented on November 18 and 19, 1975 by the SSC staff and Jim Adams. In my view, the staff testimony suggests several areas of interest to the SSC, listed below, which may be discussed with the Attorney General when he testifies. 1. The SSC questions the value of investigation and sur- veillance of domestic groups believed to be extremist or sub- versive. According to its staff, the GAO attempted to evaluate these activities (Tr. 1605). They found that of 675 cases reviewed, oniy 16 had been referred for prosecution; resulting in 4 convictions. in addition, in only 12 of these.csses did the GAO find "that the FBI gained any advance knowledge of planned activities, and 51 percent of those cases revealed no association with objectionable organizations or no illegal objectionable activities" (Tr. 1605). Thus, the staff concludes that surveillance of domestic groups has had little prosecutorial or intelligence value and questions whether such activities should ever be conducted in view of the costs and risk of abuse they involve. 2. The SSC staff believes that important FBI documents were included in the “personal files" of J. Edgar Hoover which were destroyed after his death (Tr. 1608). They believe that Hoover had reviewed the personal files lettered A to C and transferred some official documents fren these to the OC files. However, files lettered D through Z were not reviewed in this manner and the staff presumes that some official documents were lost when these files were destroyed. The SSC believes that the FBI unintentionally gave the Attorney General an incom- plete report on this matter which suggested that no FBI docu- ments were destroyed. This report was later transmitted to the SSC, 3. Senator Tower believes that attention should be paid to the use of informants, a form of information-gathering which does not require judicial or Department of Justice approval (Tr. 1617). \ALL INFORMATION co: _ ao .

4, ‘Interest has been expressed in whether the counter- espionage and internal security functions of the Bureau should be separated within the FBI or handled by different organiza- tions to reduce the risk that techniques appropriate to counter- espionage will-be- improperly employed against domestic groups (Tr. 1636). . 5. The 1971 FBI document ending Cointellpro stated that "In exceptional instances where it is considered counter- intelligence action is warranted, recommendation should be submitted to the Bureau under the individual case caption” (Tr. 1651). Thus, it may be asked whether there have been any such requests since 1971 and, if so, whether any were aprpoved. 6. The SSC staff believes that the history of the "Security Index" is an excellent example of the problems of oversight and relationships between the FBI, the Department and: Congress (Tr. 1663). 7. In 1973 the FBI asked the Department to seek statu~ tory authorization for domestic intelligence ectivities and such authority has not to date been sought (Tr. 1675). 8. The FBI procedure of reporting by an "INLET" letter ‘items with an unusual twist or concerning prominent individuals was discontinued because there were better means of communicating “dirt'™ to headquarters for dissemination to the White House (Tr. 1707). This raises the question of whether agents are still expected to furnish such information to headquarters and, if not, when it was stcpped. If it has not been stopped, what type of information i8 now forwarded and what is done with it? | ec.

The Bureau’s role in penetrating the Ilan has reeeived public attention due to the solution of the brutal uiurders of Viola Luizzo in Alabama, Lieutenant Colonel Lemuel A.

SENATE SELECT COMMITEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC) RE: INTERVIEW OF FORMER FBI ASSISTANT DIRECTOR THOMAS E. BISHOP BY SSC STAFF MEMBERS NOTE: Mr. Bishop's report of the interview was set out in his personal letter of 12/4/75 to Supervisor Seymor Phillips of the Senstudy 75 Project. Mr. Bishop asked that the letter be carefully edited, This was done to omit. those portions which were irrelevant to the interview ox were personal comments to Mr. Phillips. In those instances where it was unclear as to whether Mr. Bishop was reporting what he said during the interview or was merely commenting parenthetically, the portions were also omitted, Legal Counsel memorandum to Mr. J. B. Adams 11/28/75 captioned "Senstudy 75" prepared by PVD:dkg recommended releasing Bishop from any existing employment agreements for purposes of the SSC interview. in his letter to Mr. Phillips, Mr. Bishop, under that portion, captioned "The Ehrlichman Teletype," also wrote, ", . . this was the matter in which Pat Gray tried to shaft me by telling the newspapers that the handling of this matter had been dene by me without authority, without the approval of my superiors. The truth of the matter was that I had objected to Mark Felt that the Bureau shouldn't even handle this, I had been specifically ordered to initiate action on it by Felt and that Felt, David Kinley and Pat Gray had all approved the handling of it. Of course, when 'Life' Magazine printed a critical story about it, then Gray started to get scared and tried to dump the blame on me, I challenged him on it quite vigorously and, in fact, this was the thing that finally made me realize that I should retire from the Bureau because Gray was playing politics and using the Bureau to do so." w Jew BDoolTd: 32989554 Page 1356

inf Ar ormahts or sources San Diego, Cale December 4, 1975 Mr. Seymour Phillips FBI Washington, DC Dear Seymour: In accordance with your request, I am going to try to set down -- very briefly -- some of the items dealt with during my appearance before the Senate Select Committee in Intelligence Avtivities on December 2, 1975. I am a very poor typist and can't possibly remember all the matters discussed with me, so you will have to bear with m6-6 First of all, I was sworn in by Sen. Schweiker, who only stayed for a very brief time. I waa interviewed fro 9AM to a bout 5 PM, with Gordon Rhea, Assistant to the ChieB Connsel, Frederick Baron, Assistant to the Chief Counsel, and Barbara Banoff, Counsel, present during the entire questioning, and with Joseph diGenoga, Counsel, participating during the morning session, and John Eliff, Head of the Domestic Task Force, participating in the afternoone Let me say at the outset that 1t was a pretty grueling experience, not because I veouldn't handle the questions they threw at me, but because of the sheer length of the session and because I had absolutely no prior knowledge of what memos, docu~ ments, ete they were to throw at me. I do think that the Bureau doses a disservice to former employees who have been out of the Bureau Lor some time and who have to appear before the Commityee, by not giving them some idea of the areas of questioning that will be fmm faced with and some clues as to what old memos, ete thay will be called upon to explain. Now, getting back to my questioning --- they first wanted me to give them a detailed account of just what duties the Crime Records Division performed. This included every function performed by the Front Office, as well as sach and every thing that gach of the Sections aad did. They were particularly interested in the handling of press matters -- whether we played any favorites among papers in giving out news stories, exactly what type of in- formation we gave out to the press, ete. Naturally , I told them we played no favorites but that I naturally knew personally what papers and reportas were favorably disposed toward the Bureau and which were prejudiced against us and that this was in my mind in dealing with the press. I stressed to them that we always strictly followed the ATgorney General's Guidelines on what could and could not be given to the news media on criminal cases and that only information of a-strictly public source nature was ever given to any newsman in other types of cases. I carefully explained to them what public source data is and diffdrentiated it from information developed by interviews, or info from RMATION CO » oY info gotten through other investigative an HEREIN 18 UNCLASS 7 Ne in
aid =Que techniquese I also stressed to them that we never withheld from any newspaper, reporter, radio or TV network any info which they had a right to know about no matter how antagonistic or anti-FBI the paper, TV or radio ntework ar the reporter might dee Now getting to some of the topics which they went into in depth. MASS MEDIA PROGRAM The showed me dozens of memos pfepared by the Dom. Intell. Divs under this program , ali of which recommended that the Crime Records Div. give info to xmm selected newspapers or publications which info reflected unfavorably on certain individuals or organizations. Many of these memos related to M.L. King, other racial leaders , and racial organbhzationse It was obvious that they didn't think much of this program and thought of it as harrassmente Theu wanted me to justify each of the memos. I pointed out to them that they d&d not originate in the Crime Records Div. and that I therefére did not think that it was up to me to justify tmeme I pointed out the the role of the Crime Reoords Div was to merely serve as a conduit to get the infomation prepared by the Dom Intell Div to the reporter, that the infomation to be passed by us to a reporter was compiled by the Dom Intell Div and that the approval of the action proposed by the memos was in most gases completed before the memo sven came to use I also pointed out that, in each of the memos thaey showed me, the information to be passed to the press was of a strictly public source nature, and that none of the information could be considered confidential _CONINTELPRO They showed me a lot of memos prepared by the Dom Intel Div under this program which also recommended giving certain info to certain reporters abour selected individuals and groups. I told them that, as far as the Crime Records Div was connerned, these were handled the same as these under the Mass Media Program and that all of my replies and explanations ubder that captkon (above) also applied to this programe DO_NoT coNnTACT LIST They wanted to know all about the handling of this. I told them , and also explained there was nothing sinister about it and that it was merely to keep our agents from wasting their time contacting people during investigations who had clearly indicated that they did not wish to be contacted, and also to keep our agents from heing insulted or vilified repeatedly by people # who made a prac tice of doing this whenever contacted by an Agent.

In answer to a question, I told them that we generally knew from the list of names on which checks were being asked what was the reason for the name check request (because the list whuld generally indicate a date on which a function was being held at the White Housw to whieh the zg people on the list had been invited; I told them, however, that we would still handle the name check even xmmugiz though we did not know why it was requested . They tried to make something out of that but gave up after I pointed out how ridiculous it would be if the FBIrefused to give the President a summary of data in a our files on a person unless he first told us why he wanted ite CONGRESSIONAL FILES I had to give them a detailed explation of this -- what info we collected from the field offices on newly elpcted Con- gressmen and Senators, what we did with the info, what we used it for, ete. I frankly thought that they would go into this in even more detail than they did. They seemed to back off from it when I explained that the chief purpose of the Congressional Files was to assist me in handling liaison with the Senate and House-= that I wanted to know which Congressmen and Senators were crooks, lushes, libertknes, ete because I certainly wouldn't trust anyone like thate I said I could give them some specific, horrible examples, but they didn't want me to put the names on the recorde LEONARD BOUBIN He was the attorne§ for Dr, Spock during the latter's trial. He has a long history of OP’ associations . During the trial a memo was written setting out all the public source data known on him and it was recommended that it be given to a friendly newsr mane They wank ted to know why this was proposed, whether the info was in fact given to a newsman at that time, and if we made a practice of giving out derofatory data on attorneys for defendants in Bureau caseSe I told them we must have been asked for public source data by a newsman and that's why the memo was written, I also showed them nofations written on the mamo which specifically prohibited tha data beibg given out while the trial was in progres or even until after all appeals in the Spock case were concluded. eS
THE BRLICHMAN TELETYPE While I was being interviewed, the Administrative Assistant to Sen. Phillip Hart, called the staff and asked that I be requested to make a detailed statement on the record concerning the above matters I was delighted to dom so because xmaksz,/ this was the matter in which Pat Gray tried to shaft me by telling the newspapers thst the handling of this matter had been done by me without authority, without the approval of my superiors. The a truth of the metter wask that I had objected to Mark Felt that the Bureau shouldn't even handle this, I had been specifically ordered to initiate action on it by Felt, and that Felt, David €x Kinley and Pat Gray had all apppuwed the handling of it. of course, when'Life’ Magazine printed a critical story about it, then Gray started to get scared and tried to dump the blame on me. I challenged him on it quite vigoréusly and, in fact, this was the 16 thing that finally made me realize that I should retiBe from the Bureau because Gray was playing politics and using the Bureau to do soel Anyway, I put on the record a deatiled explanation of the hahdling of this matter and clearly placed the respon- sibility for it where it belonged. The reason Sem Hart wanted to | get my side of it’on the record is because Gray, during his con- firmation hearing, had tried to slip and dodge questions about this and Sen Haft thought he may have come close to perjurye » BOS ANGELES TIMES AWD JACK NELSON ‘I was questioned in great detail concerning the Bureau's relations with the above paper and with Jack Nelson, one of it's Washington based reporters who for some time had been carrying on a vendette against.Mre Hoover and who, on several occasions had claimed he was out to & "get" Mr. Hoover. In 1971 or 1972 the General Manager of the LA Times came to see Mr. Hooverxz and, before he went in , the Grime Records Division prepared a ‘ detailed memo on our relations with the TIMES and on what we 3 ( had in our files on Nelsén. The staff was in possession of this memo and questioned me intensively about it. I explained vay P it was prepared, that it was for interhal use only( I emphasized a this because the staff seemed to think we had planned to give it to someone outside the Bureau), and explained the whole background & of the Situations In doing so, I must admit, I took advantage of the situation to get on the record several times my description of Nelson as a "drunken S.0.B." § Well, Seymour, that's about as much as I can recall. & Besides, my wife is waiting for me to play golg with her. As I said, It was a long session. I did not, however, on any occasion ever admit that anything that was done by me, Mr. Hoover or the cY Bureau was wrong or improper, even with 20/20 hindsight. I only QD wish that some bf the Bureau people who has testified would have expressed themgel ves the same WAY» _—" Sinsersly SA “lOnr © HW S510 Doola:s2369554 Page 147
