WITH RESPECT TO INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC) Reference is made to SSC requests contained in letter ef Senator Frank Church dated November 7, 1975, for materials concerning Martin Luther King, Jr. . The purpose of this memorandum is to effect delivery to the SSC of information and materials in response to requests contained in the above SSC letter. The attention of the SSC is invited to PBI memorandum dated November 11, 1975, which referred to a highly sensitive oral briefing furnished to Senator Church and selected members of the SSC Staff by FBI personnel on November 5, 1975. This briefing was intended, in part, to serve in lieu of any weitten information in response to SSC requests for comnuni~« cations documenting Stanley David Levison as a secret member o£ the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA). Because o£ SSC. insistence in requesting items to establish factual basis for Levison'’s secret CPUSA membership, as set forth in referenced SSC letter, our New York office was contacted for documents representing original recordings £rom Bureau informants concerning Levison. As a result our New York office provided the material which is now being delivered and which has served as a basis for statements in yarious FBE documents that Levison was a secret member of the CPUSA. a | ORIGINAL AND ONE TO AG mpg lt bs, de AD Adm.

oe 7 iad é 4 SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES It is noted that referenced SSC letter requested un- , excised copies of the February 22, and June 12, 1962, communi- : cations from New Yori: which appear to have been the “articulated | predicates for the ‘conminfilt case." The SSC letter did not | identify captions of these communications; nor identify any | specific "“cominfil case." Therefore, we were unable to locate : any pertinent documents bearing these dates in our Headquarters’ , Eiles. At a meeting on November 12, 1975, between SSC Staff | Member Michael Epstein and representatives of the Intelligence | Division of the FBI, it was agreed that the two documents | apparently referred to above are New York airtel dated February 12, 1962, captioned “Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; SM+C" and New York } letter dated August 21, 1962, captioned “Communist Infiltration of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference; is-c." New York airtel dated February 12, 1962, is being delivered with this memorandum among those documents received from our New York office. Excisions in this document are fewer than those made in a capy previously provided the SSC. A copy bearing no or fewer excisions camot be provided the SSs¢ for reasons made clear during the oral briefing of Senator Church and selected SSC Staff members on November 5, 1975. It is noted that New York letter dated August 21, 1962, which is being delivered with this memorandum, is not believed | to have been previously provided the SSC. 1 - The Attorney General SERRET ~ Zn NW 55096 Docld: 32989550 Page 4 ; =a a _ _ om. : - . a

Dear Mr. Shaheen: Penmaes! see —e I want you to know how much I appreciated the‘ opportunity to meet with you and your associates the other day about the Martin Luther King, Jr. case. It was most — helpful to have the benefit of the Bureau's knowledge con-- cerning the background of the case, and i can assure you that we will do everything possible to avoid joepardizing — any sensitive FBI sources or ongoing operations. I do want to reiterate our need for the specific items set forth in earlier document requests which would presumably establish the factual basis for your conclusion as of various dates in 1962, 1963 and'1964 that Stanley Levison was a "secret member of the Communist Party, USA." Of course in the event that there is no particular document 7 in any of those years wherein Levison was so-identified to ; the FBI, I think it would be helpful for you to let us know so that we may consider our outstanding requests in that context. Finelly, of course, we still need wnexcised copies - ‘of the Febrilary “22 end June 12, 1762. communications from New York which appear to nave been the articulated predicates for the ‘'cominfil” case, - Once again, I want to thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you further on this subject. } oan a mar

His only difference with the Party has been with respect to the fact that in his opinion the Party was not sufficiently "militant" in defending Negro rights, In this respéct, he has been to the "left" of the Party, LEVISON's differences with the Party are merely gfl? "tactical." He has never criticized the Party, except with respect to the Party's handling of the Negro question. ‘The fact that he does not accept domination by the Party with regard to the MARTIN LUTHER KING movement should not be construed to mean that he has broken with the Party in all respects, The Party today is as anxious to reestablish friendly relations with LEVISON as it was in the past, (ze should be noted that LEVISON never has been officially "drummed out" of the Party, nor has anyone ever criticized him for being opposed to the Party's general principles. It further should be noted that according to ‘the CP Constitution, it would require formal expulsion of poe to state that he is officially out of the Party. LEVISON never has said anything reflecting that he does not continue to be a CP member, It.should be noted shat it would be in the interests of the MARTIN LUTHER KING movement, with which he is associated, if he would publicly vepudiate>the Party, which he has never done.

aT : : DOR SMecRyy NY 100-211180 LEVISON. LEVISON hac always expressed the opinion that BEN DAVIS was the only CP functionary who had a sufficiently "militant attitude" as regards CP activities in behalf of the Negro movement. The fact that DAVIS and LEVISON as yet have not met should not be construed to mean that LEVISON has refuséd to confer with DAVIS. As NY 694=S* understands the situation, DAVIS has been awaiting contact by LEVISON, and LEVISON similarly has been awaiting contact by DAVIS. Each of these individuals is sufficiently egotistical to expect that the other would make the first move in an effort to establish contact, NY 694+S* believes that probably the reason why DAVIS and LEVISON have not met is that arrangements for their meeting were to be made by LEM HARRIS and that HARRIS has not made the proper efforts to effect a meeting SF between LEVISON and DAVIS. ( se LEVISON, the Party designated BEN DAVIS to contact NY 694-S* has never obtained any information re- flecting that LEVISON has changed his thinking with regard to Marxism, Even though his present estrangement from the Party might be construed as reflecting he is no longer a CP member, there is no reason to come to the conclusion that LEVISON is no longer an ideological Communist. JACK talked to LEM HARRIS yesterday who said he contacted STAN LEVENSON by phone and was given a cordial hello which was a change from the past when he was cool. LEM said he had not seen LEVENSON, tried to call him and would like to see him immediately to which LEVENSON said, "TJ would like very much to see you but I don't have the time now, I'm leaving and packing for a trip. I will be glad to see you in six weeks," LEVENSON impliec. that he was going to Ecuador but LEM doesn't know why. ‘There was no anger shown, and LEVENSON will see LEM when he retu:-ns in six “ee ) ~O- NW 35056 Doold:329699550 Page ii

NY 100-136585 SF 1° On 6/13/63, NY 694-S* furnished the following informatio6n to SA ALEXANDER C. BURLINSON: On 6/12/63, LEMENT HaRRIS,CPUSA Reserve Fund functionary, told NY 694.S* that in a recent meeting with STANLEY IEVISON, the latter furnished him the following information: The LEVISONS, particularly STANLEY, are still MARTIN LUTHER KING's "brain trust"--now more than ever before. This is so despite the fact that at a meeting of STANLEY LEVISON, ROY LEVISON, HUNTER PITTS O'DELL, MARTIN LUTHER KING and "the Attorney General's chief assistant", the Attorney General's assistant, pointing to the LEVISONS and HUNTER PITTS OFDELL, stated to MARTIN LUTHER KING, "These men are Party members; watch out for them," MARTIN LUTHER KING did not "bat an eyelash” upon hearing the Assistant Attorney General's remark, and after the latter left the meeting, those in the group smiled at each other. STANLEY LEVISON said to KING, at this:time, ' congratulate you on the way you acted regarding his warning. You are a real Marxist-Leninist. This is how a true Marxist-Leninist acts." Everything that KING does he first discusses with STANLEY LEVISON and he accepts LEVISON's advice whole- heartedly. KING also wholeheartedly accepts the advice of HUNTER PITTS O'DELL as regards matters within the latter's local jurisdiction, MERTIN LUTHER KING was asked by a group of newspaper reorters whether he takes orders from "the Communists” and also, whether he took "orders from STANLEY LEVISON. i KING's response was that he took orders only from God. By reason of the fact that the LEVISONS feel that the Party has done little, if anything, to assist the fight =~ 2m , i Carre Pen . ss fle. “CREP

They are severing themselves, financially and in a disciplinary way, from the Party.\ The LEVISONS \ and O'DELL) are still Party members,f but do’ not desire to be openly "linked up" with the Party. ~ Although they are "dis- enchanted' with, the Party, they are not quitting the Party. With respect to the MARTIN LUTHER KING movement, they will act on their own initiative, and will not accept instructions from the Party. \ ty Gam HARRIS then advised that the Party, however, Still would like to control the MARTIN LUTHER KING movement. BEN DAVIS has been assigned to be “liaison or intermediary" with the LEVISONS and HUNTER PITTS O'DELL. Whether or not the LEVISONS and O'DELL will maintain liaison regarding matters concerning the MARTIN LUTHER KING movement is a matter for them to decide. In view of LEVISON's statement « * with respect to advising MARTIN LUTHER KING independently of Party instructions, it would seem that DAVIS may not have any success in maintaining liaison with the LEVISONS and HUNTER PITTS O'DELL., The LEVISONS and O'DELL are aware of £10? the fact that BEN DAVIS has been given this assignment SFL" by the Party. MARTIN LUTHER KING, according to LEM HARRIS, is referred to by such top Party functionaries as GUS HALL, BEN DAVIS, JIM JACKSON and “LAUDE LIGHTFOOT as a "true, genuine, Marxist-Leninist from the top of his head to the tips of his toes." In the Party, the report is that MARTIN LUTHER KING is following a Marxist-Leninist line. NY 694..S* advised that he asked LEM HARRIS whether or not, to the latter's knowledge, MARTIN LUTHER KING was a member of the CPUSA, LEM HARRIS replied that he did not know. . - 3. xolfucrer NW 35056 DoclId: 329699550 Page i5

owgacnnr NY 100-136585 S F\ 0 (ven Dr. MARTIN LUTHER KING was invited to address the AFL-CIO convention some time ago, KING, on LEVISON's ad- vice, first obtained approval to do so from A, PHILLIP RANDOLPH, negro labor leader, who, if he had not been consulted in the matter, might have felt that KING's making a speech at the aforesaid convention was a blow to RANDOLPH's prestige. | KING delivered a remarkably effective speech at the | AFL-CIO convention, and, asa result, received invitations | from numerous labor leaders, including "MC DONALD of Steel," to address their respective unions. As the outstanding champion of negro rights in the country, KING is a powerful. political influence, recognized as such by the higher echelons ‘of the Democratic Party. He has access to Attorney General ROBERT KENNEDY and President KENNEDY, who, politically, need KING, particularly in the South, where in cities like Atlanta and New Orleans the negro vote now constitutes the balance of power, and where KING controls the negro vote, ; JAMES EOFFA, Teamsters Union "boss" appreciates the political power of KING, particularly the fact that KING can influence the 90,000 negro members of the Teamsters Union. HOFFA invited KING to address the Teamsters Union, and KING accepted the invitation. Knowing that KING is being . deferred to by Attorney General KENNEDY, and President KENNEDY, HOFFA requested KING to contact the Attorney General in an effort to influence the latter "to lay off" HOFFA, KING was inclined to do as HOFFA requested, but LEVISON convinced him that to do so would be politically unwise, inexpedient, and likely to be a "boomerang," since the Attorney General would Se Hevea accede to such a request, particularly in the case of OFFA, “oe LEVISON had to steer KING away from another politi- cally hazardous situation. Some months ago OTTO PREMINGER, Hollywood movie director, entered into negotiations with a KING representative for KING to play a part in a picture which PREMINGER woulddirect, Although PREMINGER's offer was "tempting," since it meant "fast, easy money" for KING's organization, LEVISON realized that for KING to accept the offer would lower the latters prestige. After convincing KING of this fact, LEVISON personally telephoned to PREMINGER, telling him that "the deal was off." ) - 2» NW 55096 Docld: 32989550 Page 16
NY 100-136585 What LEVISON particularly wanted GUS HALL to knew is that "KING is a wholehearted Marxist, who has studied it (Marxism), believes in it, and agrees with it, but because of his being a minister of 1eligion, does not dare to espouse it publicly." GUS HALL, according to HARRIS, was "elated" to receive LEVISON's report on LUTHER KING. SFB

These include, for example, 1) the size, scope and purpose of the program, including an assessment of the program's cost and effective- _-ness, and the distinctions and relationships between the ‘intelligence informant program and the Bureau's criminal informant activity; 2) the criteria that determine when . an informant may be used in an organization or group; and _ 3) the program's command and control system, including the : limits that are placed on the activities of informants and the type of information an informant or source is per- “mitted to report to his handling agent and the Bureau.

As previously indicated, during 1972 the apnx was evaluated and revised. Following this revision, the number of individuals who wero included on the ADEX began to decline and thus the high numbor of cancelled cards. In accordance with Bureau policy, which was instituted during the SI program, these cancelled cards ate maintained at PBINQ for a period of three years and there is no way to reconstuct a formor SI or ADEX list for a particular time period by roviewing these cancelled cards. These gards, however, will reflect the identity of those in~ dividuals whe have been placed on the SI and the ADEX for the period for which these cards were maintained. Per your request, these outdated SI and ADEX cards are available for review by appropriate SSC representives at PBIHQ. In thia regard, SSC Staff Uembers Martha Talley and John ©, RLLAZE have had access to these cards on October 30, 1975, and Novembor 7, 1975, respectively. During Mr. Blliff's review of thease cards, the names Shelley Blum, Emanuel James Brisker, Jr., and Gregory Allan Calvort were salected by Mr. ELLIZE in connection with request number two of your October 28, 1975, letter. Documents re- quested rogarding these individuals are enclosed. A review of pertinent files at FBIMQ regarding the ST and the RI indicates there are no other versions of the former ST or RI at FBIHO. Contact was also made with knowledgeabla individuals of our New York City Field Office and it was deter- mined these programs had boon handled in accordance with thon existing FBIHQ policy and no other versionsof these programs wore compiled by that office. Materials requested for delivery under item number four of your Cstobor 28, 1975, Letter are enclosed. In this re- gard, it is noted the correct FBINQ file number for the Emma Lazarus Federation of Jewish Women's Clubs is 100-400394 and the correct file numbor for the file regarding Communist Infil- tration of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is 61-3176.

The Department of State further advised that eperational detaiis, sources and methods were not construed to be logitimate avenues of inquiry by the SSC Staff Members. Legat, Brasilia, was interviewed on September 22, 1975, by Messrs. Aaron and Truehart, with Aaron being dominant in the interviewing process. The interview was directed mainly toward attempts to elicit exampics whereby ~DPDiseussion concerning Legat's role’ ‘ct © (1 and functions in Brasilia appeared to be routine, with few, if any, pointed questions directed at FBI operations averseas. The subject of two paid confidential sources in Brasilia wags briefly discussed and both SSC investigators appeared understanding and in agreement with the necessity of each confidential source to serve FBI's and U. 8. Government's best interests in Brazil, The question sceningly bearing the most weight during the interview concerned possible unguthorized activities of CIA and its lack of cooperation and coordination with FBI and the Defense Attache's Office. The duration of the intervicw was approximately forty-five minutes .($) Legat, Buenos Aires, was interviewed by the two SSC Staff Members on September 26, 1975.

Changes in CI operations during recent years Items discussed as probably worthy of attention were physical surveillances, the walk-in operations, defection (recruitment-in-place), CI training programs, NL Also suggested as a prime topic was the future projections concerning administration of foreign CI operations in the nso United States, i,e., new division for CI work within FBI; separate CI service; or other modifications, PH GAGE EWL:jvi d 4 REC-7, wi (5) aN ADDENDUM, LEGAL COUNSEL DIVISION, 11/5/75, Page 4, “ 5 w CONTINUED — OVER zs ponta:s29a9by ULS,, Sayings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savings Plan

He brought up the disclosures of Surveillances by CIA of Americans abroad at the request of the FBI, He also indicated an interest in borderline cases, such as those in which domestic counter-subversion investigations develop a CI aspect, and was particularly interested in the policies and coordinating mechanisms affecting such instances, 3, Positive intelligence collection In this category Mr, El1liff was interested in the responsibility for collection of positive intelligence within the United States and the apparent gap which existed in this field, He was also interested in situations under which the FBI might target friendly foreign intelligence services in the United States for CI attention, Considerable discussion was held during the conference during which INTD representatives set forth the FBI's position and experience in the many areas noted, They are being set forth here to illustrate the probable Scope and nature of the executive seSsion which is being planned, Further discussions will be held with the SSC staff to clarify these matters and a firmer agenda for the proposed 11/14/75 hearing will be developed, With respect to the proposed plan. to include representatives of CIA and the military intelligence services along with the FBI in the proposed session of 2 and one half hours, it was pointed out to Mr, El1liff that this would not appear to be a very productive procedure, The CI perspectives and responsibilities of CIA and the military services are much more narrow and generally in a completely different context than the CI perspectives and responsibilities of the FBI, These differences, particularly in the short CONTINUED — OVER Ke, asose BDoold: 32969550 Page 72

on . a e a x “ . woe i a “ : "On the morning of September 4, 1969, the Metropolitan Police Department was advised by the Washington National Airport Police that some silverware had been found near one of the entrances to the terminal at the Washington National Airport. The silverware was recovered by the Metropolitan Police Department and processed for latent fingerprints without success and the items were returned to Mrs, Kraft upon her identification of the silverware. No suspects were developed by either the FBI or the Metropolitan Police Department in the investigation of the matter." AS Mr. Kraft does not recall having spoken to the FBI about the burglary. Documents provided more recently to Mr. Kraft pursuant to the August 5, 1975, agreement do not shed any light on this question. The incident is curious in that the only reference to it comes in the memorandum of July 18, 1973, discussing a press report about the activities of John D. Erlichman. Could you have someone look into this matter for me? The obvious questions are: What other documents in FBI files say about the September 3, 1969, burglary? What files of the Bureau or its Washington field office indicate about how the conversation about the burglary took place? _ EW 55056 DoclId: 32385550 Page 7&5
