Honorable Marvin Vatson In July, 19538, a Government official who had frequent contact with correspondents in Washington characterized Mr. Lisagor’as a good reporter but lacking in discretion because of his reputation for "talking too much, " especially at the National Press Club. In this regard, the President advised me on June 4, 1965, of his concern about leaks which had occurred in the Administration and referred specifically to information leaked to the "Washington Post" by a State Department official that the FBI was sending men to the Dominican Republic. . The President also mentioned that he was disturbed about an article which had appeared in the June 3, 1955, issue of the "Chicago Daily -News"” concerning Russian bombers reportedly being stationed in Hanoi. This article, written by Mr. Lisagor, contained information which was imowWn only to the Secretaries of State and Gefense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, A discreet inquiry into this matter disclosed that apparently Mr. Lisagor obtained this information from the late Marguerite Higgins, a journalist who was married to William BE. Hall, a retired Lieutenant General of the Air Force. General Hall has close contacts with members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and it was presumed that he had obtained this information and furnished it to his wife. She did not use the information herself, apparently to preciude attention being drawn to her, but gave it instead to Mr. Lisagor, who reported it in the "Chicago Daily News." The fingerprint files of the Identification Division of the FBY contain no arrest data identifiable with Mr. Lisagor based wpon background information submitted in connection with this name check request.

The referral of such matters to embassies abroad is a decision to be made entirely by the Department of State, In the case of H, Stuart Hughes we did advise - the Department of State on February 9, 1966, of proposed future travel abroad on his part. At that time, we furnished that Department available information concerning him contained in our files and indicated that we would appreciate any pertinent information it might receive regarding Hughes while he was abroad, I am greatly concerned that the State Department has made public the fact that the FBI has a security interest in Hughes. We handle our security matters in a confidential manner and in this instance I am vigorously protesting to the Department of State its handling of this ease, I am enclosing for your information a memorandum dated March 24, 1966, setting forth available information contained in the files of this Bureau regarding H, Stuart Hughe Se The facts in this matter have been brought to the attention of the Attorney General, Sincerely yours, Enclosure Yo 2 a Cass PIES ‘AW 55085 DBocld: 32989542 Page 23 s a

. Honorable Marvin Watson recalled that after a few months, in the Winter of 1937, he began to question the Popular Front" program of the YCL and the high- handed methods of those in charge of the organization. He, therefore, severed his connections with the YCL. He stated that after he made this break he then confessed his former membership to his father, who was strongly anticommunist, and that he has told at least two dozen persons about his membership in the YCL. Mr. Gilbert stated that he has never sought to conceal his membership, even though he is ashamed of it, realizing that it was a mistake on his part, Mr. Gilbert advised that during this period at the City College of New York he had no cther organizational affiliation | other than j in the American Student Union. it is noted that the American Student Union has been cited as a communist front by the Special Committee on Un-American Activities. Mr. Gilbert recalled that while at the City College of New York he had signed several petitions, but the only one he eould remember specifically was a petition in behalf of Morris - Schappes, the New York school teacher and Communist Party member who was convicted of perjury in New York City. Mr. Gilbert advised that since he left the City College of New York in 1937, he has had no connection with any communist organization and that he has, in fact, developed a record of anti- comnfunist activities. He specificaily denied that he has ever been at any time a member of the Communist Party. (100-350813-17) - FBI files contain no additional pertinent information concerning Mr. Gilbert.

Hraft was also author of the book, "Profiles in Power," published in 1958 and last reprinted in 186, wherein he was again critical of my administration of the FBI, How- ever, this criticisra appeared to be a repetition of criticism made about the FSi and me by other long-time critics of the FEI. in connection with the aforementioned book, a listing of Hraft's other credits indicated that he was a special writer on the campaign plane in 1960 for John F, Kennedy, In March, 1985, a reliable source advised that Kraft was in contact with the Algerian Ambassador to the United States, During a discussion about Vietnam, Mraft is alleged to have stated he could not uncerstand how President Johnson was ever converted to his present policy in Vietnam, especially in view of the fact that Kraft considered President Johnson a “scared man" on things of that nature.)

In May, 1961, "The Worker,” an east coast communist newspaper, earried an open letter to Senator Morse from Victor Perlo, a communist economist and writer. Perlo stated in this letter that Senator Morse was performing a public service in trying to “dig out the roots of our Government's tragic policy toward Cuba," Both Senator Morse and his staff have been contacted on numerous mecasions by members of the Soviet Embassy. iInforna- tion was received in March of 1966 concerning a reported meeting between Senator Morse and Chu Ting-min, a Chinese alien who & settlement between the United States and Communist China, as well as advocating the unification of China.

My instructions from Mr. Deloach were to insure complete coverage of organizations of a militant nature which were present in Atlantic City during the period of the Convention and to insure that advance knowledge was obtained regarding any acts or intended acts of violence which might be disruptive at the Convention. 3. In Atlantic City a special phone number was set up whereby sources reporting on the various organizations could call to report informa- tion they had received concerning intended demonstrations or other activities of a violent nature. These various sources were to call and ask for ''Elmer"' when reporting their information. i AF emeenter tema thembint abet = Re Mon Me ne ty teenie min enema in nba PEAS 28, 4, All information received by me was taken in long-hand notes and given to SAs Donald Hanning or Hobson Adcock who handled the paper work required. 5. The information obtained was furnished as set out above; however, it is my impression that memoranda or communications dictated by SA Hanning of Adcock were submitted daily to FBI Headquarters. 6. On the Friday before the week of the Convention I attended a meeting in Mr. DeLoach's office attended by various individuals including '§As Hanning, Adcock, Harold P. Linebaugh, Milton Jones and others at which time it was specifically stated by Mr. DeLoach that the sole purpose of the assignment was to be aware of and on top of any violent-type demonstra- tions by various organizations gathering in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Elmer Lee Todd to Mr. Bassett I 7. Ireceived no information indicating that the Bureau's services were being utilized for political reasons. I do not recall receiving any such information of this nature nor am [ aware of anyone else in attendance solicitating or obtaining any purely political type information. Ido recall that each evening Mr. DeLoach talked by phone with Director Hoover and was occasionally in telephonic contact with someone whose identity I do not recall, assigned to the White House delegation in Atlantic City. To the best of my recollection the only information discussed by Mr. Deloach was information received regarding demonstrations, etc. 8. It was perfectly clear in my mind at that time and is still perfectly clear that the only reason for my presence in Atlantic City was for the purpose of handling and learning of those matters falling within the Bureau's jurisdiction. 9. Ido not recall any specific instructions being given regarding confidentiality of my assignment. ; 10. This assignment has not been discussed by me with anyone outside the Bureau. On Wednesday, 1/22/75, I received a telephone call from an individual who identified himself as Ronald Kessler of the Washington Post who stated that he understood that Iwas among a group of Agents in Atlantic City with Mr. DeLoach in 1964 during the Democratic National Convention. He further stated he understood that I was in charge ‘ of handling informants, including|julius Hobson! I referred Mr. Kessler to the External Affairs Division and advised him that I was in no position to comment on his inquiry. 11., Thad no specific knowledge while in Atlantic City during the . period, opgy-ot the Convention of any tesurs in operation. 12. Ihave read the article in the Washington Post today by Ronald Kessler. While in Atlantic City all information received came through me by a special telephone, including intelligence information received by Agents of the Newark Office and, the | Atlantic City Resident Agency. Messrs. DeLoach, Hanning, Adcock, Linehe ‘and I were situated in one room from 11:00 am each morning until approximately 1:30 or 2:00 am that night. During that time Ido not recall hearing any discussions either in the room or on the telephone by any of the individuais including Mr. DeLoach which was of a political nature. -3- HW 55065 Docld:32989542 Page 45 -

My assignment consisted of handling cases and leads that had previously been assigned to Special Agents regularly detailed to the Atlantic City Resident Agency. ; 4, AslIrecall, Mr. Cartha DeLoach, former Assistant Director, was in the Resident Agency but my assignments regarding cases and the handling of leads were obtained from one or-more of the Special Agents regularly assigned to the Atlantic City Resident Agency. 5. Information I received as the result of investigations conducted was recorded in written form.

(12) The monitoring of the group in the store-front consisted mainly in overhearing remarks about planned demonstrations in the vicinity of the Convention Hall and numbers of people involved. This was the type information I passed on to SA Elmer Todd. The surveillance was hindered by the fact that the demonstrators were usually away from the store-front. .

4 January 26, 1975 1 CONTAINED To: r. Bassett ALL INFORMATION . HEREIN IS U CLASSE) al From Hf ssell H. Horner DATE * Reference is made to Bureau teletype 1/26/75, captioned "Administrative Inquiry" dealing with the 1964 Democratic National Convention at Atlantic City, New Jersey. My best recollection in con- nection with my participation in FBI coverage of this convention is as follows: , 1. Iparticipated in the "special't out of the Newark Office on instructions of SAC Ralph W. Bachman, ASAC Karl L. Brouse, or Field Supervisor Conrad W. Thompson, Jr. , 2. My instructions at Newark were to proceed to Atlantic City with a group of Agents also assigned to the same "special" and to receive - specific instructions from Senior Resident Agent Leo Clark relative to the assignment. These assignments were given by Clark or in his asence the Alternate Senior Resident Agent whose name I don’t Specifically recall: but who could have been Robert Tagg. 3. My assignment was more or less to participate in a loose surveillance of the convention site to ascertain any “hot spots" that might develop as a result of efforts of a dissident black political group from Mississippi attempting to infiltrate the conventicn site and to disrupt the “convention or usurp the seating of the Mississippi delegation. As a result of this assignment, surveillance teams were issued passes for the floor of the convention and conducted a surveillance of the situation on the floor - during the convention. 4. A chain of command was developed by radio as we carried portable radios on the floor and reported to a central dispatcher (name now unrecalled but a Bureau Special Agent). It is understood that this infor- mation was coordinated with other information received and furnished to © SA Clark. nation ow'side goon eee ii esponse to your request aind-is nat _ your Committee ig © ee EGS Use is Linvited to offictal yp - . bour Cons mie 6 and the content may not be disclosed to al proceedings by ut the express approval of the FRI unauthorized person For dissenrt- o.

HW 55065 - “ae @ on ' a © 5. No results of my efforts were reduced to writing and every- thing was handled orally. To the best of my knowledge, no written communications were prepared between Atlantic City and the Newark Office on this "special." 6. My recollection at this time with regard to the purpose of the assignment was to develop information that might lead to the preventing of trouble or disorder at the convention, particularly as a result of black dissidents attempting to force themselves on the convention. % There was no specific information ever received at any time that indicated that the Bureau's services were being utilized for political purposes. 8. No information can be recalled relating to instructions received that would indicate that those issuing the instructions felt that this surveillance fell within the Bureau's jurisdiction concerning inves- tigations of terrorism, criminals, or other mlawful acts falling within ' the Bureau's jurisdiction; however, in the same general time frame the ' Bureau had been active in following civil rights demonstrations and to my recollection I considered this an extension of that same effort. 9. It is my recollection that all members of the "special" received instructions to the effect that the assignment should remain in the strictest confidence, and also that every effort should be made in carrying out our surveillance activity to remain anonymous. 10. Ihave never discussed this with anyone outside the Bureau. No attempts have been made to interview me by any outside niividual on this matter including former Bureau personnel. 11. At the time of the "special't I had no knowledge that electronic surveillances were being used. Since that time, however, an approximate 11/2 years ago, as a result of my current assignment, handling electronic surveillances at Headquarters, and in connection with some inquiry which I cannot now recall, I became aware that two electronic surveillances were utilized at Atlantic City during the 1964 convention. One of these was Martin Luther King and the other a civil rights organization that I cannot now recall, 12. It is my best recollection that during the surveillance on the convention floor we worked closely with Secret Service details on the floor and that group was aware of our presence in the convention.

Horner by SSC Staff Members. On October 14, 1975, SSC Staff Member Barbara Banoff advised the Legal Counsel Division of this Bureau that ib was desived that Horner be made available for a Staff interview concerning his knowledge of COINTELPRO (Countorintelligence Program). Horner was subsequently released from his confidentiality agreement with the FBI for the purpose of the interview relating to the subject matter of COENTELPRO. fheve follows a statement which Horner voluntarily furnished the FBI concerning the interview of him. "On October 28, 1975, I was interviewed from approximately 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Reom 608 of the former Carroll Arms Hotel in Washington by Church Committee Staff Members Barbara Banoff and an individual believed to be Mary DeQreo. At the outset of the interview I was presented an Advice of Rights statement which I signed. Aliso present was * a couxk reporter whose name I do not recall.

vA MW 55085 U. S. Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations With Respect to Intelligence Activities (SSC) Re: Interview of Former FBI Special Agent (SA) ' Russell H. Horner by SSC Staff Members "The main thrust of the entire interview dealt with procedures and policy surrounding the COINTELPRO. I was able to advise that I had been assigned to the unit supervising the COINTELPRO from sometime during the Summer of 1968 until 1969 or 1970, the exact date I could not recall. The entire inter- view was devoted mainly to how the COINTELPRO operated with little or no effort being made as to specific COINTELPRO efforts being discussed. Banoff was advised that we did not set policy on the unit level, that all COINTELPRO proposals were approved, to the best of my recollection, in the Director's Office, but could have heen disapproved on the Assistant Director level, Banoff had a document written by former Supervisor Bernard A. Wells, and addressed to all offices, in July, 1968, which set out Ll specific areas where counterintelligence action might be taken under the COINTELPRG. Miss Banoff went into each item in an effort to determine how or why each item appeared in the communication. It was mainly explained to her that the letter was apparently written following a survey of the field offices regarding counterintelligence activity that had taken place, She endeavored to find out whether the Inspection Staff had looked into the COINTELPRO both in the field and at Headquarters. She was advised that the Inspection Division would normally look into this Program in both areas, but as to the nature of their inquiry, I would be unable to furnish any information and that Inspection policy was a matter for the Inspection Division to comment on. She inquired as to how the COINTELPRO was taken from the unit and I explained that after a period of time following its initial institution, the Program was gradually deemphasized, became almost inactive in the unit and was finally transferred back to the New Left Section. I advised her that it did not appear that the Program had been particularly effective in the New Left field. I advised that COINTELPRO existed during an entire different atmosphere in 1968 =~ 1970 than thet prevailing now and that it wo.!l be almost impossible to give such a Program fair judgment today. ~2 = Docld: 32989542 Page 62

SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC) RE: INTERVIEW OF FBI SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE (SAC) STANLEY S. CZARNECKI BY SSC STAFF MEMBER On Friday, September 26, 1975, Mr. John Smith, Staff Member, SSC, interviewed SAC Stanley S. Czarnecki in his FBI office, Louisville, Kentucky, for approximately thirty minutes. Czarnecki was not advised of any constitutional rights nor was he requested to sign any waiver of rights form. . : Mr. Smith stated that while he was in his Washington, D. C.; office earlier this week, members of the SSC staff, identities not mentioned, requested him to contact Czarnecki in connection with Smith's impending _ visit to his home in Louisville. Specifically, they re- quested Smith to interview Czarnecki concerning a memorandum Czarnecki had "signed out," captioned "Investi- gations of Key Activists - New Left," dated May 24, 1968. Mr. Smith stated he did not have a copy of this memorandum nor had he read it. He stated it dealt with requesting ‘of Federal Income Tax returns of certain Key Activists from the U. S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Czarnecki advised he could not recall this specific memorandum nor its contents. Czarnecki advised Mr. Smith that he doubts that he had “signed out" a memorandum and then explained all of his correspondence was approved or “signed out" by a Unit Chief to which Czarnecki was assigned at any given time. It was further explained that Czarnecki had served in two Sections, eight Units, and three Divisions at FBI headquarters during the period September, 1967, through April, 1972.

CZARNECKI BY SSC STAFF MEMBER Mr. Smith asked Czarnecki if he had ever requested IRS to furnish the FBI any income tax returns on Key Activists and what procedure was followed in requesting same. Czarnecki explained he could have, however, could not recall if he personally had ever requested such tax returns; however, he does recall such requests were made on a selective basis. These requests were made only after careful review of the request and approval obtained by officials within the Domestic Intelligence Division. Smith asked Czarnecki if he had ever seen any of the tax returns and what type of security was afforded them. Czarnecki advised he had seen some tax returns of Key Activists and believes the number was small. These returns as well as all documents located in the Domestic Intelligence ‘Division were afforded top security and most all such material was reviewed on a need~to~-know basis. ; Smith also asked whether the Bureau supervisor handling Key Activists had direct live contact with Internal Revenue Service Agents. Czarnecki stated he recalls no direct contact was ever had with IRS people by the regular Bureau supervisors. Smith asked Czarnecki's opinion whether or not the Federal Income Tax returns should be made available to all law enforcement agencies to aid them in certain types of investi- gations. Czarnecki advised he could not speak for all of law enforcement, however, depending upon the type of investigative matter any and all information that could be developed on a key subject or suspect would be helpful. Mr. Smith advised Czarnecki that he may be back in touch with him in approximately three weeks and, if necessary, will have a copy of the memorandum which Czarnecki allegedly "signed out." ; ‘ - Qk - HW 55065 Docld:329899542 Page 69 ee reo

Baker by an SSC Staff Member “For information there is set forth below my recollections of a staff interview with the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. "€ reported to the Senate Office Building at 9:30 a.m. on October 9, 1975 and was interviewed by Mary DeOreo. The interview was concluded about 10:40 a.m. "Her questions were mostly general in nature about my work in the Laboratory. Her particular interest seemed to center around the Martin Luther King, Jrv., case with special attention on the technical surveillances used. Apparently the reason I was called was that my name appeared on several memoranda covering technical discussions between Domestic Intelligence Division and Laboratory personnel indicating that the memoranda had been routed through me. "Her main concern seemed to be if I had any knowledge concerning transcriptions or composites of any technical surveillance tapes being made in the Laboratory. I had no recollection of any such tapes being made and so informed her.” On October 14, 1975, Bakex voluntarily furnished the following additional information which, in more detail, reports on the interview of him, The interview was not under oath and no statement was made to Baker concerning his rights. At the request of the interviewer, Baker furnished general background information concerning himself in respect to his FBI career. He entered on duty on August 12, 1940, in the Identification Division. On December 16, 1941, he was transferred to the Laboratory. He became a Special Agent on May 20, 1946, still assigned to the Laboratory. In June, 1955, ~ 2 WS s, je 55085 Docld: 32989542 Page 109

& U. S. Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations With Respect to Intelligence Activities (SSC) Re: Interview of Former FBI Section Chief Arthur J. Baker by an SSC Staff Member Baker was asked if it was possible for anyone elise to make tapes and DeOreo mentioned the names of Jehn Matter and: Charles Corbett, Baker's response was that anything was possible, but that it was not likely; and that he had no recol- lection of these people making tapes. Baker was next questioned concerning security procedures in the Laboratory and the possibility of someone working there at night. Specifically, he was asked if someone worked at night, whether there would be any record of it. His response was that he doubted it. DBuring considerable discussion on the subject of security in the Laboratory, Baker explained that security was tight because of the large volume o£ evidence always on hand in the Laboratory. NOTE: 10/6/75 contact with Baker was by Supervisor P. V. Daly of the Legal Counsel Division. 10/8/75 contact with him was by Inspector J. B. Hotis of the Legal Counsel Division.

Yie was admitted to the District of Columbia Bar in 1949 and practiced law in ‘vashing- ton, D. C., from 1949 to 1961, In 1959-80, he served ag attorney fer the court-appointed Board of Rionitors for the International Srotherhood of . Teamsters, Chauifers, Wearehousemen and Helpers. Mr, Miller was appointed Assistant Attorney General in charge of-the Criminal Divisicn of the Department of Justice in 1961, He . Served in this capacity under Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, as . well as for a period under Nicholas Katzenkach, before resigning to return to the private practice of law in the District of Columbia in 1965, iir. LiL, is a partner in the Washington law firm of Miller, McCarthy, Evans and _Cassidy--wnich firm has registered with the Department of Justice uncer the Registration Act to furnish legal services to the government of the Baham’is, Nassau, Bakamas. in addition, sir, Miller has served as Chairman of the President's Commission on Crime in the District of - Columbia. . ee Poe. Bre ANON HE . . One of Mr, Miller's law pariners is Courtney A. Evans, aformer Assistant Director of the FEI, air. Evans entered the FEI _in December, 1940, and retired in December, 1964, From 1281 through . 1864, he handled Maison with the office of the Attorney General and had numerous Oficial and social contacts with Robert F. Kennedy. 30. Evans . Cloge relationship with Robert Kennedy continued following his retirement from the FBI. ~ ; During Robert Kennedy's tenure as Attorney General, ‘Mr. Evans had a number of discussions with him concerning the use of microphones by the FBI; and iar. Evans personally prepared official memoranda for FBI files reflecting not only Robert Kennedy's knowledge, but his enthusiastic approval, of the FEY's use of microphone surveil- lances in criminel-tyse, as well as security~type, investigations. Ina meeting with two FBI officials at the Bureau's headquarters on December 24, 1965, Mr. Evans discussed contacts he had had with, and information which had been furnished to, Robert Mennedy and other Justice Departmental officials who had served under Robert Kennedy ; concerning the use of the microphone surveillances by the FLI.

On December 10, 1966, in connection with the public aenials that Robert ennedy imew about the FBI's use of microsh ones while he was Attorney General, Robert Sennedy released to the pra the letter which ir. Evans had written him., The letter was sated February 17, 1965. Init, lay. Zvans ielsely stated that he “did not discuss the use of" microphones by the FHI with robert Sennedy during his tenure as Attorney General--2nd further that Mr. Evans Ic did not ‘know of any written material that was sent*t to-Robert Sennedy V *. — "at any time coneerning" FBI microphone surveillances. On December 11, 1968, the #BI released to the press two memoranda which had nersonally | neen prepared by Mr. Evans in the Sumner of 1961 relating to discussions he had had with the then ae ' Attorney General Nennedy concerning use of microphone surveillances . ° By the FBI. Reportedly, the release of these memoranda (which prove . the statemnts in the letter released to the press by Hobert Kennedy on December 10, 1968, to be false) caused a rift between these two men: and Robert Kennedy, it is said, no longer speaks to Mr. Hvans. . Another document which was widely publicized in December, 1966, in connection with Robert : Sennedy’ $s denial that he lmew of the ¥BI's use of microphones was 2 lettar which the then Assistant Attorney General Herbert Miller wrote to Senator Sam J. - - Ervin, Jr., on May 25, 1931. In this letter, Mr. Miller indicated knowledge of the = BI's. use of 78 wiretaps and 67 other electronic listening devices. * ; The December 11, 1986, issue of "The Evening ¢ ar’ of Washington, D. C., contained an article. citing the letter which ; Herbert Miller had written to Senator Ervin on May 25, 1961. The . December 11, 1956, newsnaner article stated that "Miller himself pointed out that the letter did not mention illesal eavesdrops--the kind involving physical trespass on private provoriy."' It then quoted Miller as commenting, "I sincerely doubt that anybody in the Department knew that there wag any trespass in placing of these devices. I did not imow and I wager that the Attorney General did not know there was trespass."
