VIEW OF RAYMOND Fo . On 10/23/75, I was interviewed by two members of the Senate Select Committee, Mrs. Mary DeOreo and Mr. Mark Gitenstein, at the Dirksen Building in the office of the Senate Select Committee.

I was not advised of anything pertaining to my rights. ; The following are questions asked and the answers I gave, to the best of my recollection: QUESTION: When you went to the platform that morning - was it the day after Mr. Hoover died, or two days later? ANSWER: I can't remember. QUESTION: On that particular morning in question, what did you do? ANSWER: I went out to the platform and I found the truck sitting funny and I wasn't sure if I had a flat tire or what. I checked the rear tires, but found the tires were up so that I figured something was on the truck. I can't remember if the truck was locked or what, but when I opened the truck it was loaded with cabinets from front to back. I questioned my supervisor, Tony Codi, about the cabinets on the truck. To his knowledge he didn't know where they came from. He went around to the front office to check and was told that the cabinets were te go to Mr. Hoover's house. QUESTION: Who gave Codi the message to take the cabinets out to Mr. Hoover's . house ? ANSWER: It could have been Mr. Marsden or Mr. Gregory. I don't know which. Tony double checked to find out who was going out to Mr. Hoover's house after I questioned him if the moving crew was going. I was told there would be no one going, but there would be a car following the truck. i QUESTION: Did you recognize the car or did you see it?

Chief Clerk) was to personally destroy the contents. I was not told what the boxes contained or where they came from. Was anyone else with ifr. Kunkel? Yes, as I stated in my FD-302 I believe it was Mr. Battle; however, I wasn't that concerned with who was accompanying Mr. Kunkel. It could have been Mx. Dowling, I just don't recall for sure. What did you do with these boxes? I loaded them on a dolly, took them to the 5th floor of-the Oid Post Office Bidg. and secured them in a vault until after working hours. We were not able to run the disintegrator until after working hours due to the noise factor. Is there a disintegrator at FBI Headquarters? I believe there is. Why do you think it was decided that the machine at the Washington Field Office should be used? I really don't know - I can only assume that it was for convenience purposes as I believe the Headquarters disintegrator was located in the FBI Identification Division then locatedon 2nd Street,:, S.

No. Did you ever discuss this matter with anyone other than Shaffer? No. Did Mr. Kunkel contact Mr. Shaffer subsequent to this one occasion for the purpose of picking up and destroying additional, material? J don't know. You stated earlier that on 4 or 5 subsequent occasions Mr. Shaffer was called upon to meet Mr. Kunkel for purpose of picking up and destroying additional material, is this right? No. I think there must be some misunderstanding. I stated that I received 4 ot 5 maybe 6 boxes of material from Mr. Kunkel. Did Mr. Kunkel, subsequent to this one occasion, contact Mr. Shaffer either personally or by telephone? Yes - Mr. Kunkel was in frequent contact with Mr. Shaffer both personally and telephonically. The mere nature of assignments and work required frequent contact. Were any boxes ever stored in the attic of the Old Post Office Bldg.? Not to my knowledge - I think any-reference to storage may relate to the one time I placed the 4 or 5 boxes in the vault until after working hours. Who had the combination to the vault? Mr. Shaffer and 1. Did you ever take any boxes to Mr. Kunkel's office? I don't recall taking any boxes to Mr. Kunkel's office. ~ Ge Page 275

No. You indicated you and Shaffer worked on this together, you didn’t discuss it with him or comment on it at all? As I recall the only comment I made to Shaffer was “"Tooks like the FBI made the headlines again.” I have discussed this situation with no one. Do you recall anything else or have any questions? I recall nothing more that in my estimation I consider germane. No, I have no questions. Thank you Mr. Dudney. Interview concluded

Headquarters Building Unit . Headquarters Security Unit WE Oh Concerning units 1 and 2 above, they asked what basic duties they performed and were advised that they primarily prepare charts, trial models and other two~dimensional and three-dimensional items for investigative assistance and/or trial use. Mr. Gitenstein indicated that they were aware that immediately after the death of Mr. Hoover in 1972, I was involved in making arrangements for the funeral service and the burial, and was thus away from the building most of the time. They asked if employees of the Section packed any items in the Director's Office after his death. They were informed that some employees did assist in packing and that to my knowledge, this consisted of items which were hung on the wall of the corridor leading into his office: such as award certificates and plaques presented to Mr. Hoover over the years. We had an interest in these for historical purposes particularly with reference to possible use on the tour route for the new building. ALL INFORMATION CONT FERED CLASSIRm DATE!

They asked what association I had with Mr. Hoover's drivers, and I told them that the Exhibits Section was responsible for the good operating condition of the Bureau's armored cars and that the drivers were acquainted with its safe operation. I was asked if I had made any contact with the Washington Field Office in connection with the removal of any material from Mr. Hoover's residence after his death, and I informed them I had made no such contact. .

U. §. Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations With Respect to Intelligence Activities (SSG) Rez Interview of Former Deputy Assistant Director Paul O'Comell-by SSG Staff Menher “He stated Special Agent (SA) Paul Daly was aware of their interest in interviewing me and suggested I contact Daly. £ did so and on the morning of November 11, 1975, I came to the Bureau and spoke to SAs Daly and Elmer Larson, 5A Larson stated the Bureau had furnished the Committee various documents regarding mail opening programs. {I told him the only program I was aware of was that involving mail from the Chinese Mainland. SA Larson and 8A Daly stated that my appearance was voluntary and that if I felt I wanted to exercise my Fifth Amendment rights, the Department of Justice could be requestéd to secure an attorney for me, They stated that the Bureau had no objection to my appearing or to my admitting my knowledge of the Chinese mail opening program, "{ thereafter met with Mr. Dick at approximately 3:15 p.m. that day, November 11, 1975. While I met Me. Dick at the Dirksen Office Building, the interview was conducted with Mr. Dick in a room at thé former Carroll Arms Hotel. Only Mr. Dick was present. He advised me that my appearance and discussion was voluntary, that I had the right to an attorney, etc. I told him that I had been given clearance from the Bureau to discuss the mail opening program and that I would answer any questions he might have. He stated there had been three programs; SAM, GHIPROP and CHICLET, and he desired to know o£ my knowledge of these programs. I told him that very frankly the number of years that had elapsed prevented me from recognizing the names of the programs, but I was aware that the San Francisco Office had a program for the opening of mail from the Chinese Mainland, Whether it was also opening mail to the Chinese Mainland I did not recall. He showed me documents regarding the programs which had been furnished the Committee by the Bureau. These were, apparently, semi-annual justification letters for the CHIPROP and CHICLET programs. He asked whether I had recalled having approved any of these tommunications going to the Bureau. I stated I could not recall. He noted that my initials did not appear on the copies that he possessed. , NW 55094 DoclId:32999549 Page 53

Senate Select Comaittee to Study Governuental Operations With Respect to Intellipence Activities (55¢) Rex Interview of Farmer Deputy Assistant Director Paul O'Connell by SSC Staff Member "ith respect to my knowledze of these prosrans, I explained that the ASAG was involved with the administrative as vell as investinative opevations of the office and that once a program was instituted, the officials of the office would not be knowledgeable of the day-to-day operations of the program, but that any chanzes im procedures, et¢c., would be approved by supervisory officials. We asked which desk would have supervised the Chinese meil openine progsram. I told hin that te my recollection it was the espionage squad, supervised by Kichard Fletcher. "He asked for a xundown on my assignments in the Bureau £Erom the mid~1950's to the praesent, which I outlined for hina, lle requested the names of the SACs during my assignment to the San Francisco Office, which I furnished. He then asked that I describe the administrative setup of the office. As this did not involve mail openins, I decided te telephonically contact iin. Gresar at Bureau Headquarters to see if there was any objection to answering thig and he said there was none. 1 then explained that im addition to the SAC and the ASAG, there were approximately 12 desks (squads) including the night supervisory desk and that there were three security squads: the espionaze squad, and two Internal security squads. He requested the names of the supervisors of these squads and I informed him that the supervisor of the esplonage squad was Richard Fletcher, and that Harry Clifford and Glem Harter were supervisors of the internal security squads. He asked 2£ the two internal security supervisors handled the same work and IT teld him I thought the breakdown was that. one handled organizations and the other individuals. “ir. Dick stated that they desired this information for background Information as the Bureau has acknowledged the existence o£ the program and had furnished copies of various decuments. He said that there would be no more hearings by the Committee con- cernins mail openines and that he anticipated the Committee will complete its work in February. The interview concluded at approximately 4:00 p.m."

In consultation with Convention planners, we pointed out serious gaps | in controlling admission to Convention Hall which had permitted entrance of dissident elements on the Convention floor. ‘Jenkins immediately placed these recommendations into effect, : -, - Thursday, August 27, 1964 : | - We determined Martin Luther King and his staff were departing from Atlantic City early Thursday morning, and appropriate officials were advised of this. We also reported efforts of CORE-SNCC leaders to secure uniforms of the Young Citizens for Johnson groups and to utilize them for gaining entrance into Cony entio: n Hall, We were aile to report that the number of participants of the silent vigil would dwindle rapidly. Although the demonstrations quieted down Thursday night, we were heavily involved in checking out the reports that a four-man group of Puerto Rican terrorists from New York were in Atlantic City in an attempt to assassinate the i President. MISCELLANEOUS: a rod For the benefit of the Domestic Intelligence and General Investigative | Divisions, separate memoranda are being submitted regarding infoiant coveraze. I jam also recommending letters of appreciation to cooperative individuals whose efforts jfacilitated the squad's work in Atlantic City.

We necessarily kept these people under close observation. PRELIMINARY PREPARATION: Prior to the squad's departure for Atlantic City, we secured all available pertinent background information on the dissident groups and their leaders who were expected to be present. In addition, we took blind memoranda with us which were prepared and approved prior to our departure, This proved most helpful. On Wednesday morning, Mr. Jenkins urgently requested background information on Robert . Moses, COFO leader who had emerged as the leader of the militant group within the _MFDP delegation. The White House also requested a blind memorandum on Dr, Aaron Henry, Chairman of this group. Within 15 minutes of the request, the desired blind memoranda were furnished to Jenkins. He was highly pleased and said ‘this was of vital importance to their operation, (Henry as you will recall has an arrest | }record for perversion. ) ede a. nc ee ER We also prepared thumbnail sketches on all key dissident groups expected -at the Convention and we maintained separate files on the activities of King, Communist ‘Party groups, area hoodlums, informants, the MFDP and other groups.

On Monday, we furnished Mr. Jenkins details regarding the plans of | CORE, the American Nazi Party, the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee and initial, plans of the MFDP. Appropriate officials were notified of the intention of the Negro racial groups to establish a silent vigil on the boardwalk at the main entrance to Convention Hall, This vigil was to be maintained until a report was issued by the Credentials _ Committee regarding the seating of the MFDP delegates, Tuesday, August 25, 1964 | \ HW 55094 Docld:32999549 Jenkins was advised that Martin Luther King had prevailed upon Bayard Rustin to come to Atlantic City that day.
