Memorandum to Mr. Adams Re: Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities [formal understanding with Senator Church as to the Bureau's position in regard to such interviews. I reminded the Deputy that our sole concern was to make a representative available to assist in the interviews in the event they touched upon sensitive areas and by no means was our interest to be understood to be an effort to interfere with the Senate Committee's inquiries. The Deputy said he fully understood our position and agreed. He asked me whether I would be willing to agree to hold off on formal notification to Senator Church until the negotiations to be conducted by Mr. Lloyde could be concluded. I told the Deputy I would agree to that on the condition that I and also Inspector Hotis would participate in the discussions by Lloyd with the Committee representatives. The Deputy Attorney General said that he fully concurred in my condition and if there developed any difficulty in making such arrangements, he would assist in seeing that it was accomplished. Inspector Hotis advised that Schwarz, the Committee counsel, has arranged a meeting on Wednesday morning, May 7, 1975, with Assistant Attorney General Scalia of the Office of Legal Counsel of the Department. We will also be represented at that meeting. The Deputy Attorney General told me that he had been advised by Schwarz that a former Bureau Agent, Leo Clark, had objected to the fact that a Bureau representative had contacted him and had indicated a willingness to be present during Clark's interview by the Committee. I again assured the Deputy that our sole purpose in contacting Clark was to be available in the event a Bureau representative was needed to discuss matters of a sensitive nature or matters concerning current Bureau operations. The Deputy said he understood and Clark's complaint was likely the result of a misunderstanding. RECOMMENDATION: For information. ne 55075 Docld: 32969532 Page 93
Memorandum to Mr. Adams Re: Senate Select Committee on Intelligence There was a general consensus of opinion at the meeting with the other agencies of agreeing that they would await the development of the position paper by Wilderotter. Walter Lloyd advised that another meeting with Schwarz and the Committee staff would be scheduled for Thursday, May 8, 1975. Upon my return to my office, Wilderotter called me to report that he had been unsuccessful in having the Mohr interview postponed and further that Schwarz had advised him that he now feels that it would be inappropriate for agency representatives to be present at any interviews whether they concerned abuse or whether they concerned general matters, and further that he felt that it would be inappropriate for the agency to be advised of the subject matter prior to the interview. At that point, Mark Gittenstein joined the conversation with Schwarz & Wilderotter and advised Wilderotter that he intended to interview Mohr concerning "procedures and how paper moved in the Hoover days, " and this would constitute 90% of the interview. The remaining 10% of the interview would concern Hoover's "O.C. Files." Further Gittenstein mentioned that he was aware that John Mohr is the Executor of Mr. Tolson's estaie and he may inquire concerning that matter. Wilderotter said that there would be no further contact with the Committee concerning the Mohr interview and that we should assume the Mohr interview will proceed as scheduled. He said that he would suggest the Bureau contact Gittenstein to discuss any further details regarding the subject matter of the interview of Mohr ad that we consider discussing with Mohr prior to the interview matters that he should not discuss with Gittenstein. He also suggested that we debrief Mr. Mohr at the completion of the interview. I reminded Mr. Wilderotter that there are no guidelines by which the White House or the intelligence community or the Senate Committee have agreed that the FBI should make such arrangements with the witness. I told him that I thought that the FBI would be used as a test case both by the Committee and by the intelligence community if we undertook to negotiate such matters directly with Gittenstein. I told him that I thought that such direct negotiations would undermine the effectiveness of current -4- CONTINUED - OVER Docld: 32989532 Page 99 |
« + Memorandum to Mr. Adams Re: Senate Select Committee on Intelligence negotiations to establish broad guidelines with the concurrence of the Committee that could be used to effectively limit the scope and manner of interviews currently being conducted by staff investigators. I also told him that I thought it would put the Bureau in a most difficult posture because the intelligence community could well feel that the FBI had brought about the loss of the opportunity to have some effective control over Committee access to sensitive information by negotiating our own agreement with Gittenstein. I told him that certainly the Committee would use us as an example to other intelligence agencies and use our experience to their detriment in establishing limitations on the interviews. Mr. Wilderotter said that he understood my position and he would continue to work on the policy paper. He asked to be advised of the time the meeting is to be held with Schwarz on May 8, 1975, and I indicated I would so advise him on learning of it myself fron dt CIA who is making the arrangements. I also suggested that it would be appropriate for Roderick Hills, Associate Counsel to the President, to be present at the meeting with Schwarz in order to have a greater chance of resolving these issues promptly. Wilderotter said that he agreed and would attempt to make arrangements for Mr. Hills to be present at the meeting. RECOMMENDA TIONS: JEK Act 6 (1) (A) 1.

C. 20510 Dear Mr. Chairman: This letter will confirm and reduce to writing some of the matters agreed upon at our recent meeting. At the outset, I should like to express my deep personal appreciation for the candor and helpfulness of you and Senator Tower in that meeting and for your sensitivity to the respective responsibilities under our Constitutional framework of the Select Committee and the Central Intelligence Agency in the area of your review. For my part, I should like to renew again, for myself and the CIA, my promise of cooperation with respect to the important work of the Select Committee. In my judgment, a spirit of good faith and cooperative effort is not only necessary to enable your Committee to discharge its responsibilities fully and expeditiously, but is indeed in | the best interests of the intelligence community as well. . I am convinced that a responsible and thorough review of U.S. intelligence activities will serve to vindicate the CIA and enhance the public's understanding of the important contribution that the intelligence efforts of this nation can make toward the goal of preserving and strengthening ; our democracy.

on e w y Legal Counsel to Mr. Adams Memo RE: SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES This matter was discussed with Congressman Nedzi on 4-9-5, and he stated he would promptly contact Mr. Harding to work out the necessary arrangements for security checks needed by his Committee and its Members. Harding has promised to let us know when the checks of the House Select Committee Members have been completed. All contacts concerning this matter have been handled by Inspector Bowers who will continue to follow this situation with Senate Sergeant at Arms, William Wannall, or his Deputy; House Sergeant at Arms Harding; Mr. Miller of the Senate Select Committee; and Congressman Nedzi. RECOMMENDATION: For information. ile & fa ADDENDUM: INTELLIGENCE DIVISION  WOC:ekw 4/14/75 On 4/11/75 the Executive Committee of the Ad Hoc Coordinating Group on Congressional Review for the Intelligence Community was apprised of the discussions with Mr. Robert Hough, the Deputy Sergeant at Arms of the Senate and with Mr. Kenneth Harding, Sergeant at Arms of the House. Although the Executive Committee would have preferred the FBI to conduct audio sweeps, they interposed no objection to the sweeps being handled by the Capitol Police Department. Mr. Roderick Hills, Counsel to the President, requested, however, that both Mr. Hough and Mr. Harding be requested to periodically advise the FBI as to the sweeps of Committee space for electronic listening devices. Specifically, Mr. Hough and Mr. Harding should be asked to furnish the FBI the following: How frequently they will conduct a counteraudio sweeps; what offices will be swept, will the results of such sweepsbe furnished the FBI, and will the FBI be immediately notified should the Capitol Police locate an electronic listening device? : 2, ‘ mys i a HW S5075 Docld: 329894532 Page ae . _ uA wal \
