Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (44 Us¢ 2107 Hoter” ho DATE: 11-14-7017 . - Te NS PH 92-1027 In regards to the "tip" alleged to have been re- ceived by the "Bulletin" the following information may be of interest: PH-269-C, who can be characterized as reliable and well informed, was contacted by ADRIAN LEE on Wednesday, 8/28/63, in an endeavor to ascertain where LEE could contact Philadelphia AR Subject WILLIE WEISBERG. LEE told the informant that he was preparing a series of articles in the "Bulletin" about gambling and racket activity in Philadelphia and wanted to contact WEISBERG in this regard. Informant in- quired as to why LEE would contact WEISBERG, to which LEE re- plied that WEISBERG furnished him information. Philadelphia does not know if WEISBERG would be the basis of a tip to the "Bulletin" to the effect that VALACHI's information was not reliable. It does not appear probable, however, inasmuch @s WEISBERG during the current week has been vacationing in Atlantic City, N.J., area and the fact is noted that "Bulletin" employees MURPHY and BRUNT were in Atlanta mak- ing inquiry on 8/26,27/63. The above is for information of interested offices and to alert them as to possible inquiry by MURPHY and BRUNT . in regards to VALACHI. If any additional information is ob- tained by the Philadelphia Division in this regard, it will be forwarded to the Bureau and interested offices. FROHBOSE NL eof DoclTd: 32304753 Page 3
