AW 35075 Memorandum for Mr. Wannall ° ° RE: SENSTUDY 75 , this paper was on the agenda for this meeting, it was never discussed because of the length of meeting, concluding at approximately 8:30 p.m. Following the meeting, Assistant Director Mintz and Mr. Cregar had a discussion with Mr. Wilderotter. During this discussion Mr. Mintz pointed out to Mr. Wilderotter that it was imperative that this Executive Committee clearly . define how résponses” to the Select Committees would be coordinated and how matters dealing: with policy would be cleared with the-—~ White House. Mr. . Wilderotter dées¢ribed the following procedure. All questions received by agencies of the Intelligence Community from Select Committees would be furnished to Mr, Clarke, As a matter of fact, Mr. Wilderotter advised a copy of the questions received by the Department from the Senate Select Committee requiring responses from the FBI had already been turned over to Mr. Clarke by Mr. Wilderotter. Upon receipt of a copy of such questions, Mr. Clarke would review them and attempt to identify which questions involve policy matters of interest to the White House. He would then inform all agencies involved in such a response that such a question involved policy. Those agencies would be obliged to discuss the response between themselves and. arrive at a coordinated answer. That answer would then be furnished to Mr. Clarke who would in turn make a decision-as to whether it should go forward to the White House forresolution, Answers to questions which did not involve policy matters would also have to be furnished to Mr. Clarke to insure that there was some coordinating mechanism in the Community and to insure that this mechanism was in possession of all questions and all answers which might be provided the Select Committees. Mr. Mintz made it quite clear to Mr, Wilderotter that this was not the Bureau's understanding of how the coordination process would work and was of the belief that no other agency represented on the Executive Committee was aware of this procedure, Mr. Wilderotter was asked to develop such a procedure for pre- sentation to the Group to insure everybody was in agreement as to how this process would work, On the morning of 3/21/75, Mr. Clarke advised that as a result of the meeting during the evening of 3/20/75 he was completely confused and was at a loss as to how the coordination process was going to work, He advised Mr. Cregar that he would CONTINUED - OVER DoclId:32989530 Page 15

KING thought this was a good idea, but he hoped it would not be necessary as he feit that "we are going to get them pack in school," LEVISON thén suggested that KING write a book concerning his experiences in Birmingham.

Leader ‘of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and CLARENCE JONES, Acting Executive Director of the Ghandi Society for Human Rights. During the discussion, KING mentioned that ROY WILKINS of the NAACP had been imprisoned but may now be out ‘. on bond, LEVISON suggested that KING send a telegram to the President protesting the incarceration of WILKINS, KING told LEVISON he had read his, LEVISON's, | memorandum, but did not quite understand what LEVISON proposed be done now, ~ B «= ‘Doold: 32989531 “Page 166
mee S84 Doogie: 3258 95.31 Pag 1 NY 100-136585 _ LEVISON explained that it was his thought that "the Birmingham pattern" can be followed in other cities where there are unresolved problems. He noted that in Atlanta, there is no bi-racial committee and the establishment of one could be a first demand. In other cities, it may be desirable to have direct action first "followed by the Birmingham pattern." LEVISON said that each city should be examined separately. KING commented that he nas never seen the Negro community as aroused, as determined, as enthusiastic as at this time, He said that "more than ever before is this national determination and feeling that time is running out." He stated that he thought “we are on the threshold of a significant breakthrough and the greatest weapon is mass demonstration," KING stated "we are at the point where we can mobilize all of this righteous indignation into a powerful mass movement.” KING suggested that there be a mass march or the impression be given that a mass march of "Literally thousands and thousands of people is going to be organized on Washington."' He added "the threat itself may so frighten the President that he would have to do something. He asked LEVISON "are we ready for that?" if : LEVISON said there were two things which must be considered: 1. There must be unanimity ‘among all groups. 2. Is there more pressure generated on Washington by the series of local situations than by amass march on Washington?
ow NY 100-136585 KING said that he felt there could be unanimity. He said ROY (WILKINS) would probably not be opposed as "pressure builds from the bottom" and the NAACP would exert much pressure on WILKINS. With respect to the second point raised by LEVISON, KING pointed out-he was not thinking of concentrating on Washington alone, but was thinking of activity in every state, He said there should . be simultaneous protest on the local level "and at ~* the same time a work stoppage wouid be called for - all over America." He stated that the sort of thing he envisioned would have such an impact that “something would have to give." He again asked LEVISON if LEVISON thought the time was right for such a move and LEVISON agreed that "the time is now," CLARENCE JONES suggested that KING shoud discuss his proposal with ROY WILKINS and PHIL _ - before any announcement is made publiciy. He felt the timing of such a move is most important. bee ce eee eee a areecerer mene see ne ener anes ne Meee oe amen tronuene rueeenernes wba Ay oe LEVISON felt that KING was the proper person to make such an announcement and felt that it could _ be announced when KING addresses a scheduled Trade *.

Following this, LEVISON felt KING could discuss. it with both ROY WILKINS and ‘PHILS LEVISON felt that since it was then ‘publicly announced, WILKINS would have a hard time objecting. KING was of the opinion that he should call a special press conference, possibly in’ Atlanta, and make his announcement.

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. Wannall RE: SENSTUDY 75 62-116395 The interview of Mr. Mohr began at approximately 10:20 and was concluded at 12:30 p.m. 5/9/75. Mr. Cregar, who was available in an adjacent room, was not called and following the interview, Mr. Mohr assured Mr. Cregar that no sensitive areas were addressed by the Staff Members. Mr. Mohr did indicate that the Staff Members were in possession of FBI doctiments dealing with the Socialist Workers Party as well as documents obtained by Mr. Carl Stern under the Freedom of Information Act (these are our COINTELPRO. documents which we were obliged to provide Stern under the FOI). No substantive questions were directed to Mr. Mohr regarding these documents but apparently were used to permit Mr. Mohr to identify who might be the final authority in approving these documents. As an example, Mr. Mohr noted that in reviewing a sample of these documents, he voiced the opinion Document A probably would have been approved by an Assistant Director whereas Document B might have received the approval of the Director. Mr. Mohr was unable to identify precisely what documents he was shown. It was quite apparent from the interview that the Staff of the SSC was trying to understand how the flow of mail proceeded in the FBI under Mr. Hoover's directorship. — A classic example of the Staff Members' confusion was their inability to distinguish between an SAC letter from a letter to all SACs. Mr. Mohr attempted to clarify this confusion on behalf of the Staff Members. With regard to SAC letters, the Staff Members asked if there was a file on all SAC letters, Mr. Mohr advised he was not quite sure whether there was a single file containing all SAC letters. Members of the Staff also asked Mr. Mohr about his securing of Mr. Hoover's office after Mr. Hoover's death. . Mr. Mohr told the Committee that the articles which appeared in "The Washington Star" by columnist Jeremiah O'Leary was an accurate recording of his securing of Mr. Hoover's office. Nevertheless the Staff Members desired that Mr. Mohr go over in considerable detail exactly how he did secure Mr. Hoover's office following his death. HW 55075 Docld:329895352 Page 70
HW 55075 Memorandum to Mr. W. R. Wannall RE: ‘SENSTUDY 75 62-116395 The question of Mr. Tolson's will did arise. Mr, Mohr advised that Hillory Tolson had not decided whether he was going to contest the will. According to Mr. Mohr, he recently had lunch with Hillory Tolson at Mr. Tolson's request at which time Hillory Tolson suggested he was not going to contest the will. However, Mr. Mohr had not seen any documentary evidence of Hillory.'s decision in this regard. Finally, the Staff Members asked if Mr. Mohr knew the whereabouts of Miss Gandy or at least her telephone number. He told themhhe did know herewhereabouts and telephone number but promised her he would not reveal them. Mr. Mohr was asked whether Miss Gandy would be available for interview. Mr. Mohr advised the Committee that he would attempt to persuade her to be interviewed providing he, Mr. Mohr, was allowed to be present during the entire interview. The Staff Members inter- posed no objection to that arrangement and Mr. Mohr indicated to Mr. Gitenstein that he would advise him of Miss Gandy's desires regarding an interview under the conditions stipulated above. Prior to the onset of the interview with Mr. Mohr, Cregar asked Gitenstein whether a decision would be forthcoming from the SSC regarding the interviews of former employees of the intelligence community by Staff Members of the SSC. Gitenstein stated the the Committee had no problem with the FBI and that if |The White House would not interfere he felt satisfactory arrange- ments between the FBI and the Select Committee could be worked out regarding future interviews of former FBI, employees. The thrust of Mr, Gitensteiri's comment as well as his general demeanor during the meeting suggested the Staff felt they could work closely with the FBI to the satisfaction of both parties.
