“Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act ot 1999 (44 use (2107 Hate e}. * DATE: 11-14-2017 . 4 ae : 4 . O - ; ; . . CO hard CG 62-6020 ; been made available by the Department except by piecemeal ‘\ reference in enclosed data. The Department also requested interview with FRANK WRIGHT of United Bonding Company, * Indianapolis, Indiana, which was performed on 10/23/62 and reported in report of SA KENNETH P. PETTIJOHN dated 10/25/62 at Indianapolis, under this section's caption. Chicago is of the opinion that results of interview of WRIGHT which had i previously been conducted by WALTER SHERIDAN of the Department | and Mr. SCHWARTZ (probably CARL SCHULTZ) should have been made available to the Bureau by the Department prior to interview. “It is also observed that among other things an + interview with CHARLES BRAY was r@quested in the Teamster ' Bonding Program, hereinafter disctissed. For the Bureau's confidential information, during the course of the Federal Grand Jury investigation into the Teamsters Union Pension Fund Loans in Chicago during August-Odctober, 1962, one of ‘the Departmental Attorneys was overheard to remark. that WALTER SHERIDAN of the Department has been in contact with - CHARLES BRAY and apparently has received information from - BRAY and is attempting to develop BRAY as an informant. Chicago is of the opinion that if such is the case, the results of SHERIDAN's contacts with BRAY should be made available to Chicago prior to any attempt at further interview of BRAY. It is also obvious that other investigation and/or interviews have been conducted by others prior to the Bureau's entrance into these cases. References to these prior investigations are scattered throughout the various Departmental Memoranda submitted; Chicago is of the opinion that results of any investigation by whomsoever conducted should be made available in its original form, or by copies thereof, to the Bureau offices for information, evaluation and guidance. - With respect to captioned subject matter, Chicago, .for the present, contemplates limiting its investigation to the. Teamsters Union Pension Fund Loans which were the subject of Federal Grand Jury inquiry in Chicago. Reviews of files and certain subpoenaed material are being made and appropriate leads will be set out shortly. -3- DocId:32309934 Page 4
