, McDermott to Jenkins memorandum ; Re: Request from Ron Kessler Hanning indicated to Quinn that, in fact, he had participated in coverage of the aforementioned convention under the supervision of DeLoach who was then Assistant Director of the Crime Records Division along with Leinbaugh. It was his recollection that then President Lyndon B. Johnson had requested the FBI to assist the Secret Service in providing intelligence information concerning dissident groups and individuals who might represent a physical threat to the President and members of the White House staff. Hanning said that the predication of the Bureau's assignment in Atlantic City was reportedly based on a request from President Johnson to Director Hoover and all those involved in the assignment were not to discuss this fact. He stated that DeLoach telephonically advised the Director each day of the results of their efforts in Atlantic City and it was his understanding that Mr. Hoover in turn passed this information on to the White House.. He also stated that information was disseminated on the scene to a White House representative in Atlantic City. He stated he had not personally seen any written information 1 concerning the above instructions or the results ther 2- from. mk At approximately 11 a.m., 1/23/75, Miss Frances‘Lurz, a retired Bureau employee who was C. D. DeLoach's. secretary until her retiremént in 1968, called to advise that she is currently a patient in the George Washington Hospital recovering from a bout with double pneumonia _ and that she had been telephonically contacted at 5 p.m. yesterday evening by Kessler who asked her pointed questions relating to the aforementioned matter, indicating to her that he had heard that information was telephonically furnished from Atlantic City to the Crime Records front office, in which she worked, and that the stenographic personnel in that office transcribed infor- mation furnished from Atlantic City on the phone .‘on plain bond paper.” He specifically asked her if she had ever personally delivered material as -a@ consequence of this dictation to the White House personally. Kessler indicated to Miss Lurz that his information was based on testimony furnished by former Assistant Director Robert E.
