It is the considered opinion at the Los Angeles Division that dissemination of information to the Department concerning AUSA STEPHEN D. MILLER. as set out in Los Angeles airtel to the Bureau, 4/14/67, could definitely compromise LA 4476-C-TE. Since this source is now extremely close to LCN Boss FRANK DESIMONE, it is not believed worth the risk involved. AUSA MILLER has openly announced his resignation effective May 1, 1967.
