Rilty ile Js Stack, Jr. HICKEY LEVY ENTPORMATE Gi] CONCGERNIKG Qn 9/26/75, a man who identified himself as Mickey Levy, < free lance journalist, sppeared at FBIHQ and wanted to talk about neutron activation analysis. SA John W. KRilty was assigned to talk to Levy. Levy stated that he wis a pharmacist who get into writing ukout scientific subjects and hc wanted to prepare an article about the forensic uses of NAA and then attempt to sell it to a newspaper or magagine. Without any “preliminary — discussion” Levy asked how we onalyzed lead and what our conclusions were concerning lead. Levy was told that we examine lecd by NAA and emission spectroscopy and that our conclusions depend on the nature of the data we obtain. Levy asked te see data of a “typical lead analysis" and the conclusion that this data warranted. Kilty advised Levy that. he would not show him sony data. Levy then asked about the various elements detected in lead and what each element meant. He was answered generally conceming the elements present in lead. Levy asked a hypothetical question about. a lead analysis cenducted on bullets in the RFK assassination case. His hypothetical had so many variables and there were & number of terms such as "identical" which can be interpreted differently that Rilty told him such o question could not be answered. Kilty told Levy that elemental analysis of lead was not a "fingerprint" exam and that cempositional cnalysis without other evidence certainly was iImadéquate from an investigative standpoint. Levy asked if the FBI was going to examine the bullets in the RFK case. Kilty stated that one of our firearms exeminers was & part of the panel of experts in this case and thot he was not aware of any compositional analyses being performed.

DETAILS Mr. Brown has made previous requests and has been furnished documents from the Laboratory through the Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts (FOI/PA) Section in connection with specific requests regarding the results of spectrographic and neutron activation analyses. He is now asking for any additional worksheets which are available that he may not have requested in the past. It is the understanding of the FOI/PA Section that neutron activation analysis examinations were done only on the paraffin casts, (Q53A through Q53G) and the bullet fragments, (Ol, 02, 04, Q5, Q9 and Q14), and that he has receiv RSE.

~ tL eewas Any et gu K LABORATORY ADDENDUM “J. W. Kilty:ric ° 7/14/76 (Enclosures 16) 1. A review of 62-113452 indicates that Mr. Brown has received the neutron activation analysis (NAA) data and results on specimens Q1, Q2, Q4, Q5, Q9 and Q14. These are the only metal fragments examined by NAA. Mr. Brown has never requested NAA data and results on the paraffin casts from Oswald's hands (053A through Q53G) and the file does not show that these data and results were ever furnished to him. It is noted, however, that he has never requested them. Enclosed are four pages of information concerning the paraffin cast examination. These pages may be released to Mr. Brown. It is noted that the Laboratory has on hand the "raw data" upon which the calculations on one of the four pages are based. These "raw data" are not being released inasmuch as Mr. Brown may have no interest in the paraffin casts at all. There were no NAA examinations conducted on the lead- smear found on Q609 nor any of the clothing from President Kennedy or Governor Connally. 2. Mr. Brown has been furnished with notes concerning spectrographic examinations of specimens listed by him. According. to his April 21, 1976, letter, Mr. Brown appears to ask for any spectrographic examination documents which are available. Enclosed are notes and worksheets containing spectrographic examinations conducted on the President's clothing (PC-78282), Governor Connally's clothing (PC-80185), a wrist watch and ring (PC-78339) and bullets from Officer Tippit (PC-79846). You should be aware that the last two documents listed refer mainly to the Tippit shooting and it may be difficult for Mr. Brown to figure out sample designations and the reason for giving him these documents. The Laboratory has no objection to the release of these documents. These documents have not been released to Mr. Brown previously because he has never asked for them. 3. Agent time spent on this request was four hours.
