First of ab , may I express my deepest sympathies upon the passingxof Mrs. Kelley. Committee, I also want to thank all the officials and agents of the FBI who have been so very helpful in the Gommittee's work over the past months. I hesitate to mention names, but we especially appreciate the time and effort put in by Mr. Bill Cregar, Mr. Elmer Larsen, and Mr. Paul Daly. There is still a way to go before we are done, especially in thinking, through questions of possible legislation. But we-lhes e made a ote Ba eo JOTAK: I have tried to do all I can to insure * “fair MES von s bi-partisan approach to this inquiry. It is by no means perfect. Some aspects inevitably get exaggerated TOT™ sm. purposes of presentation. But the important thing is to ~ be some tensions between the Committee and FBI repre~ sentatives on one problem or another. Nevertheless, I want you to understand that the Chairman and Vice-~ Chairman are deeply interested in achiewing our basic dsy legislative goal of clarifying FBI responsibilitiessiyy 3) a ALL INFORMATION CONTAINEY .

Finally, I would like on behalf of the Committee to invite you to appear at our hearing scheduled for ’ 10:00 A.M. on Monday, December 8, 1975. We are aiso inviting the Attorney General to appear at the same time. The purpose of this hearing will be to discuss present and future legislative and administrative guidelines and standards for the FBI in the intelligence field. This hearing will begin a two month process of intensive study by the Senators of various legislative proposals. The investigative phase of our work will be finished, and the staff will be reduced to those whose skills and expertise are best suited to this task. Thank you again for the Bureau's cooperation.
