SA CHACOS additionally advised he had no idea how lone LEWIS would be in Florida. On 5/3/76, SA TITTLE telephonically contacted LEWIS at the above number to determine his leneth of stay in Florida. Initially, LEWIS was very outraged at being contacted by the FBI and felt that any interview by the FBI should be set up through Senator PRANK CHURCH or his aides, Mr. ED GREENFIEND or LARRY KEVES., LEWIS further advised that he is an Investigative Reporter and has done a considerable amount of work on organized crime. LEWIS atated he is now doing some work on alleged PEI-Mafia connections. LEWIS was advised by SA TITTLE that the FSI wished to interview him regarding the possible violation e~-Bureau i 2}+San Pranciseo (62-6315) an LEE Sp kes 1-~Naw York (47-11827) RST: kao (6)
WFO 47-~10681 of the impersonation statute. LEWIS stated that he felt he had resolved this matter when he talked to the FBI in San Francisco on the telepnone while he was staying in New York City. After a lenethy conversation in which LEWIS deseribed his past Journalistic endeavors regarding organized crime, he advised he would explain the misunderstanding regarding the impersonation violation to SA TITTLE. Thereafter, LEWIS advised that in March, 1974, he was staying with a Mrs. MC CARTHY in California. Mrs. MC CARTHY was the wife of California State Senator MC CARTHY. LEWIS said he had been informed of the followings series of events by Mr. T. V. MC GUIRE. LEWIS advised MC GUIRE was the Democratic candidate for Congress in the 6th District in California in 1974. MC GUIRE advised LEWIS that he (“%C GUIRE) had been soliciting for campainrn funds in San Rafael, California. While campaigning for funds, MC GUIRE talked to someone who he believed to be EMILY HARRIS. “Cc GUITRE told LEWIS that HARRIS answered the door of her residence where he was soliciting for funds. M“C GUTRE said he talked to HARRIS at length regarding women's lib. MC QUIRE then told LEWIS that through a third person he advised the FBI of HARRIS’ location. MC GUIRE said he was then informed through this third person that the FBI knew of HARRIS's whereabouts and he should keep the matter in confidence. LEWIS stated he related this information to Mrs. MC CARTHY. LEWIS advised that he then forgot about the incident until February, 1976, when he was setting up a lecture at New York University Law School in New York City. LEWIS advised he was reading the New York Times regarding the HEARST trial and noted that HEARST and the HARRIS' were accused of participating in a bank robbery in California on April 15, 1974. “LEWIS said he then remembered hearing that EMILY HARRIS had been located by the FBI in March, 1974.
WFO 47~10681 LEWIS said he then called LARRY EEVES at Senator CHURCH's committee and told him that he (LEWIS) knew a man in California who had information that the FBI had mishandled the PATTY HEARST investigation. LEWIS said he was advised by KEVES to eall T. V. MC GUIRE and determine the identity of MC GUIRE‘’s source who related the information to the PBI. LEWIS called MC GUIRE and was advised that ED MONTGOMERY, a retired San Francisco Examiner Reporter, was the individual contacted by MC GUIRE regarding MC GUIRE's seeing EMILY HARRIS in Mareh, 1978. According to MC GUIRE, MONTGOMERY called the FRI in San Franciseo and told them that MC GUIRE had seen EMILY HARRIS. MONTGOMERY was told by the FBI to tell MC GUIRE to forget that he had seen EMILY HARRIS and the FBI knew HARRIS! whereabouts. LEWIS said he tried to contact MONTGOMERY but was unable to as MONTGOMERY had an unlisted telephone riumber. EWIS obtained the number of a Mr. WELSH, a friend of MONTGOMERY, from T. V. MC GUIRE and was told by MC GUIRE to ¢all WELSH and he would be able to get MONTGOMERY's telephone number. LEWIS advised that he called WELSH and Mrs. WELSH answered the telephone. LEWIS told Mrs. WELSH that he wanted to talk to ED MONTGOMERY. LEWIS said he advised Mrs. WELSH that he was an investigative journalist working on organized crime and that he was doing work with the CHURCH committee on organized erime. Mrs. WELSH then asked LEWIS if he was a reporter and he replied “yes”. Mrs. WALSH then asked LEWIS for his telephone number and said MONTGOMERY would call him back. LEWIS advised that he never said he was an investigator for the CHURCH committee. He further advised he ean not remember 1f MONTOOMERY ever tried to call hin and he said that toa his knowledge, he did not belleve he ever talked to MONTGOMERY. LEWIS believed that his next contact in this matter was with Agent HARTER of the PBI in San Francisco.
WFO 47~10681 LEWIS then went on to describe additional experiences with organized crime firures and his feelings regardinge the KENNEDY assassination and other events. LEWIS further advised that he was being interviewed by a reporter from a St. Petersburg paper at the time of this telephone conversation. LEWIS asked SA TITTLE where SA TITTLE had obtained his telephone number. LEWIS was advised by SA TITTLE that this is confidential information and could not be disclosed. Upon conclusion of the telephone conversation, LEWIS seemed to be much more cooperative and had a better attitude toward the FBI. WFO sees no basis for further contact with LEWIS regarding this matter. It is apparant the possible impersonation violation may have arisen from a misunderstanding between LEWIS and Mrs. WELSH regarding LEWIS's cecupation. It is Pelt that any additional contact with LEWIS would again bring up & problem with FBI harassment and would serve no useful purpose. On 5/45/76, SA TITTLE was telephonically contacted by an unknown female reporter from a 5t. Petersburg newsnaner who advised she was with LEWIS when he was eontacted by the FBI on 5/3/76. The reporter wanted to verify that LEWIS had actually talked to SA TITTLE from the PBI. The reporter asked SA TITTLE whet the phone call on 5/3/76 eoncerned. SA TITTLE replied the contents of the conversation was not public information. The reporter asked if the conversation concerned ED MONTGOMERY. SA TITTLE advised he would not comment on the conversation. The conversation was terminated at this point by the reporter. LEADS ase anette Anette te mr nating mera AT WASHINGTON, D.C.

WFO 47-10681 LEWIS said he then called LARRY EEVES at Senator CHURCH's committee and told him that he (LEWIS) knew aman in California who had information that the FBI had mishandled the PATTY HEARST investigation. LEWIS said he was advised by KEVES to call fT. V. MC GUIRE and determine the identity of MC GUIRE’s source who related the information to the FBI. LEWIS called MC GUIRE and was advised that ED MONTGOMERY, a retired San Francisco Examiner Reporter, was the individual contacted by MC GUIRE regarding MC GUIRE'ts seeing EMILY HARRIS in Mareh, 1974. According to MC GUIRE, MONTGOMERY called the FBI in San Francisco and told them that MC GUIRE had seen EMILY HARRIS. MONTGOMERY was told by the PBI to tell MC GUIRE to forget that he had seen EMILY HARRIS and the FRI knew HARRIS' whereabouts. LEWIS said he tried to contact MONTGOMERY but was unable to as MONTGOMERY had an unlisted telephone number. LEWIS obtained the number of a Mr. WELSH, 4 friend of MONTGOMERY, from T. V. MC GUIRE and was told by MC GUIRE to call WELSH and he would be able to get MONTGOMERY 's telephone number. LEWIS advised that he called WELSH and Mrs. WELSH answered the telephone. LEWIS told Mrs. WELSH that he wanted to talk to ED MONTGOMERY. LEWIS said he advised Mra. WELSH that he was an investigative journalist working on organized crime and that he was doing work with the CHURCH committee on organized crime.

Upon conelusion of the telephone conversation, LEWIS seemed to be much more cooperative and had a4 better attitude toward the FBI. WFO sees no basis for further contact with LEWIS resardins this matter. It is apparant the possible impersonation violation may have arisen from a misunderstanding between LEWIS and Mrs, WELSH regarding LEWIS's occupation. It is felt that any additional contact with LEWIS would again bring up a problem with PBI harassment and would serve no useful purpose. On 5/4/76, SA TITTLE was telephonically contacted by an unknown female reporter from a St. Petersburg newspaper who advised she was with LEWIS when he was contacted by the PBI on 5/3/76. The reporter wanted to verify that LEWIS had actually talked to SA TITTLE from the FBI. The reporter asked SA TITTLE what the phone eall on 5/3/76 concerned. SA TITTLE replied the contents of the conversation was not oublie information. The reporter asked if the conversation concerned ED MONTGOMERY.
