prompted the actions which we're
taken.
"As soon as the subcommittee
left Washington for California,
certain top Treasury officials
moved to interfere with our inves-
|tigation In New York. This was
obviously a planned move. for
these officials were all aware for
weeks Of the hearings we had
planned in San Francisco.
"The Treasury, without the
slightest consultation. demanded
Of the Justice Department that q
grand jury be convened In Brook
lyn to whom certain Of the most
important matters which this
committee Is investigating In New
York should be presented"
Felt Compelled to Act"
IT am told the Department of
Justice felt compelled to accede
to the demands Of these persons.
ALI these investigations had been
initiated and conducted by us.
The Treasury agents who assisted
In this investigation worked in
the committees Offices and under
the direction of the committees
staff.
"The action of the Treasury
was in clear violation Of an agree
ment that there would be no such
action, which could interfere with
the investigation of the subcom-
mittee, without prior consultation.
Moreover. we have obtained in
|disputable evidence that Treasury
experts familiar with the facts
agreed that presentation to a
grand jury at this time was not
advisable. These experts were not
even consulted. Above all, we have
clear evidence that the decision to
refer these matters to the United
States attorney in Brooklyn was
made solely for the purpose Of
sitting the investigation Of this
committee.
No Desire to Interfere.
"Of course. this subcommittee
has no desire to interfere with the
normal functioning of Govern
ment departments. This conduct
was not normal and in view Of the
public interest at stake I re-
quested repeatedly that this in
reference be withheld at least
until there had been an oppor-
tunity to consult with the sub
committee and until we could OBJ
tain an explanation of this
curious and precipitate Treasury
action. Unfortunately, I have
met with no success whatever in
my attempts to reconcile the
conflicting positions. ! could OBJ
tain no information nor any as
surance that our investigation
would not be obStructed.
Files Made Available.
"Under these circumstances and
lacking any consultation or assur-
ance. I took such measures as I
deemed necessary to keep the doc
uments and other evidence in the
committees files available for our
investigation and our hearings. I
think that the American public is
entitled to know that these docu-
mems, involving as they do persons
Of national prominence, viii be
available until the matters to
winch they refer are thoroughly
investigated.
Il have ordered. therefore, that
these documents be put In the
custody Of the sergeant at arms Of
the House of Representatives
pending further Qualification Of the
situation"
