HW 54714 - DATE: .March 29, 1978.. MEMORANDUM \ TO: Secret Service File FROM: Eileen Dinneen and Jim Conzelman RE: Secret Service Index File and Commission Documents United States Archives The materials found in the National Archives regarding Secret Service investigations included eight boxes of index cards and nine boxes of documents and. reports. The total number of index cards was in excess of. 5000. These cards included addresses, phone numbers, P.O. boxes, and names of individual subjects. The file boxes (9) encompassed, for the most part, Secret Service Control Number reports with related correspondence. All of these INMaterials were given to the custody of the U.S. Archives by the Secret Service as voart of the JFK investigation. I. Secret Service Index Cards A. These cards were reviewed with specific attention being paid to Cuban names, right wing activists, potential threats against President Kennedy, possible Secret Ser- vice cover-up, and improved procedures in the protection of the President. A list was drawn up in reference to the above. Each card was then checked to locate the attending report. Due to the lack of a systematic filing system, index cards prepared by the Secret Service could not be easily collated to the files. Therefore, the following cards which could not be located were given to Mike Lehy to cross check against Archive files. (See attachment A) B. It is understood that not all materials originally given by the Secret Service to the National Archives are still - in their custody. Some documents have been returned. It | is foreseen, therefore, that many of these files will have to be reviewed at Secret Service Headquarters. II. Secret Service Documents A.

This is contrary to testimony given by several secret service agents. ~Discusses crowd and mob control, handling cranks. ~“Identification of Guests, Visitors, and Employees"- page 86.

The Secret Service addressed itself to the following questions relating to Protection of the President. Q. A. Docld: 32277356 Does the Secret Service draw on other law enforcement activities and other assistance in protecting the President? S.S. is now experimenting with the use of other treasury law enforcement activities. Could S.S. be assisted in its Presidential protection operations by other federal law enforcement agencies? S.S. can envision occassions when assistance of other Federal law enforcement agencies to the S.S. would be beneficial. Also the Treasury Department will be responsible for giving a basic course in Presidential Protection. Is the the risk too great to have both the President and Vice President participate in the same public function. How much risk should be determined by S.S. What steps have the S.S. taken since November 22? 1. Liaison with other Federal, State and local law and intelligence agencies. 2. Activities of the P.R.S. in identifying and maintaining information on individuals who are risks or potential risks to the life of the President. Page 13
HW 54714 Box I--File Box _ . Page 13 DoclId: 32277356 What are the activities of P.R.S. in the develop- ment of devises for protecting the President? Checks or inspections of buildings-- S.S. has little funds for research and detective devices. President of Scientifics Advisory assisted the Service in establishing contacts with several commercial firms and worked out plans for an automatic data processing card file system. What criteria is employed in determining whether to list individuals in the P.R.S. general files; - trip files; in the album? Criteria in effect prior to Nov. 22, 1963, were broad and general. If material was evaluated as indicating some potential danger, it was indexed in general P.R.S. files under the name of the individual or group whom the material related. Individuals in "trip index file" are only those evaluated as dangerous pending investigation, but do not meet the requirements of hospitalization .Or prosecution. The album--a looseleaf booklet containing a number of cellophane envelopes in which are placed photographs and descriptions of subjects who are considered dangerous. Album is kept up-to-date. Were all three files checked before the Texas trip? "Trip index file" is same as "trip file"--contained 190 names. It was checked prior to Dallas ard no person was listed. F.B.I. gave Dallas S.S. the name of a possible dangerous person. Was it included in the "trip file?" Report had been submitted on him. Anti-Stevenson pickets were identified and photos taken. Is there formal or informal liaison with other agencies? Experienced FBI officers assigned as liaison with S.S. Daily contact with White House detail. Is there formal or informal instructions in protecting the President in an emergency? Cover the President as close as possible--shield him--remove him as guickly as possible. Page 14

HW 542714 In examining the Incoming Mail Log of the Warren Commission it was found that on January 8, 1964 the Secret Service sent to the Commission files relative to the assassination of President Kennedy. The files included the following: 40-199 200-407 408-472 474-559 561-759 Subsequent to January 8, 1964, the Warren Commission received Secret Service files 341 and. 511, and on January 24, 1964 received the following files: 646, 648, 650, 656, 659, 661, 664, 675, 688, 700, 701, 702, 703, 705, 707, 7il; 715, 719, 724, 725, 736, 737, 743, 745, 746, 767, 949, 951.
