| ‘Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Coltection Act of 1997 (44 USC F107 Hote; ‘ we, ; SF DATE: 11-14-2017 SD 92-184 DALITZ and COHEN met SD 1064-C-TE and ROSELLI _at Hyatt House and they all then went to the Brown Derby Restaurant nearby. Informant advised that ROSELLI thereafter informed DALITZ he wanted money he felt was due him. During the discussion, ROSELLI claimed that he had a major part in sale of Desert Inn to HOWARD HUGHES by DALITZ and claimed that through his efforts DALITZ remained on, in a managerial capacity, in the Desert Inn and Stardust Hotels, Las Vegas, after the saleto HUGHES. ROSELLI claimed that during the presale negotiations he was presént with GEORGE GORDAN and MORRIS KLEINMAN and that he (ROSELLI) was supposed to get $60,000 per month from the time of the sale until time DALITZ left the hotels. He indicated that he received none of this'smoney. He also indicated that his $60,000 a month due him was not for him alone but that he also had to distribute some of it to "his people,” nodding toward the informant. ROSELLI indicated that as a result of his efforts, HUGHES was able to purchase the Desert Inn and later the Stardust and that DALITZ thereafter was in a position to continue skimming money. ROSELLI explained that he was now short of money as the result of continued legal pressure and convictions. Informant advised that DALITZ denied having any knowledge or remembering any details-to7such an agreement with ROSELLI. DALITZ told ROSELLI that if he was trying to shake him down he was not going to stand for it. DALITZ claimed that he has always been "100% straight" and at this late date he was not going to stand for a shake down. ALITZ further told ROSELLI that he always considered ROSELLI to be a millionaire and did not know that he was in need of money at this time. He told ROSELLI that if money meant keeping him out of jail it was a different story and he would assist him but again stressed the fact that he was not going to be the victim of a shake down. ROSELLI continued to claim that DALITZ and his group owed him $60,000 a month from the time HUGHES purchased the hotel until DALITZ's group left the management. “DALITZ ended the discussion by saying that he would go to Miami and discuss it with KLEINMAN, GEORGY - Ls | Docld: 32305600 Page 3
