Date: August 2, 2021

From: National Archives and Records Administration

Subject: Reconstructed FBI File BS 66-4117, Serials 1-43

To: The File

This memorandum briefly summarizes the status of missing original Federal Bureau of

Investigation (FBI) case files or portions of case files in the President John F. Kennedy

Assassination Records Collection (JFK Collection) and documents the National Archives and

Records Administration's (NARA) efforts to reconstruct these records, where possible, from

duplicate copies of documents located in other FBI files.

As the JFK Collection was first compiled and reviewed in the 1990s, the Assassination Records

Review Board and the FBI designated some records as "not believed relevant" (NBR) or "not

assassination related" (NAR). The FBI retained custody of the NBR/NAR records and

postponed their transfer to NARA until a later date. Every document or group of documents

("serials"), however, received an indexed Record Identification Form (RIF) and FBI inventory

sheet for insertion into the JFK Collection.

Several years prior to the 2017 re-review and transfer of the NBR/NAR material to the National

Archives, the FBI destroyed a few files with NAR designations according to an authorized

records disposition schedule in effect at the time.

This compilation represents NARA's efforts to reconstruct the original file or portions of the file,

as completely as possible, with duplicate copies of documents located in the FBI field office and

headquarters files within the JFK Collection. Each reconstructed file or compilation contains a

Record Identification Form, an explanatory cover memo, existing administrative documents

avallable within the JFK Collection, and copies of identified duplicate documents. The table

below summarizes the status of FBI file BS 66-4117, Serials 1 through 43.

MEMORANDUM TO ALL EMPLOYEES

RE: INTERVIEWS OF FBI EMPLOYEES

All employees are advised that Congress is conducting

an inquiry into activities of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Congressional staff members are conducting interviews of former

and current FBI employees. This Bureau has pledged its cooperation

with the Congress.

You are reminded of the FBI Employment Agreement

(copy attached) with which you agreed to comply during your employment

in the FBI and following termination of such employment.

Also, you are reminded of Title 28, Code of Federal

Regulations, Section 16.22 (copy attached), which reads as follows:

"No employee or former employee of the Department of

Justice shall, in response to a demand of a court or other authority,

produce any material contained in the files of the Department or disclose

any information relating to material contained in the files of the Department,

or disclose any information or produce any material acquired as part of

the performance of his official duties or because of his official status

without prior approval of the appropriate Department official or the

Attorney General in accordance with Section 16. 24."

Also, you are reminded of Department of Justice Order

Number 116-56, dated May 15, 1956, (copy attached) which, among

other things, requires an employee upon the completion of his testimony

to prepare a memorandum outlining his testimony.

Our cooperative efforts, of course, must be consistent

with the above cited authority. Therefore, if you are contacted for

purpose of interview or testimony you are to request approval as

required by the Employment Agreement and await authorization before

furnishing information, testimony, or record material.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

As consideration for employment in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), United

States Department of Justice, and as a condition for continued employment, I hereby declare

that I intend to be governed by and I will comply with the following provisions:

(1) That I am hereby advised and I understand that Federal law such as

Title 18, United States Code, Sections 793, 794, and 798; Order of the

President of the United States (Executive Order 11652); and regulations

issued by the Attorney General of the United States (28 Code of Federal

Regulations, Sections 16.21 through 16.26) prohibit loss, misuse, or un-

authorized disclosure or production of national security information, other

classified information and other nonclassified information in the files of

the FBI;

(2) I understand that unauthorized disclosure of information in the files

of the FBI or information I may acquire as an employee of the FBI could

result in impairment of national security, place human life in jeopardy, or

result in the denial of due process to a person or persons who are subjects

of an FBI investigation, or prevent the FBI from effectively discharging its

responsibilities.

I understand the need for this secrecy agreement; there-

fore, as consideration for employment I agree that I will never divulge,

publish, or reveal either by word or conduct, or by other means disclose to

any unauthorized recipient without official written authorization by the

Director of the FBI or his delegate, any information from the investigatory

files of the FBI or any information relating to material contained in the files,

or disclose any information or produce any material acquired as a part of the

performance of my official duties or because of my official status. The burden

is on me to determine, prior to disclosure, whether information may be disclosed

and in this regard I agree to request approval of the Director of the FBI in each

such instance by presenting the full text of my proposed disclosure in writing to

the Director of the FBI at least thirty (30) days prior to disclosure. I understand

that this agreement is not intended to apply to information which has been placed

in the public domain or to prevent me from writing or speaking about the FBI but

it is intended to prevent disclosure of information where disclosure would be

contrary to law, regulation or public policy. I agree the Director of the FBI is

in a better position than I to make that determination;

(3) I agree that all information acquired by me in connection with my official

duties with the FBI and all official material to which I have access remains

the property of the United States of America, and I will surrender upon demand

by the Director of the FBI or his delegate, or upon separation from the FBI, any

material relating to such information or property in my possession;

(4) That I understand unauthorized disclosure may be a violation of Federal

law and prosecuted as a criminal offense and in addition to this agreement may

be enforced by means of an injunction or other civil remedy.

I accept the above provisions as conditions for my employment and continued employment

in the FBI. I agree to comply with these provisions both during my employment in the FBI and

following termination of such employment.

OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

WASHINGTON, D. C.

ORDER NO. 116-56

: May 15, 1956

It 1s the policy of the Department of Justice to extend the fullest

possible cooperation to congressional committees requesting Information from

departmental files, Interviews with department employees, testimony of depart-

ment personnel, or testimony of Federal prisoners.

the following procedures

are prescribed in order to effectuate this policy on a basis which will be

mutually satisfactory to the congressional cormittees and to the Department.

(Ints order supersedes the Deputy Attorney General's Memorandum No. 5, dated

March 23, 1953, and bis Memorandum No. 97, dated August 5, 1954. It formal-

Izes the Attorney General's press release of November 5, 1953, establishing

procedures to permit committees of the Congress and their authorized repre-

sentatives to interview and to take sworn testimony from Federal prisoners.

It supplements Order No. 3229 (Revised) dated January 13, 1953, and Order

No. 3464, Supplement No. 4 (Revised) dated January 13, 1953 (with Nemorandur

of "Authorization Under Order No. 3464 Supplement No. 4 (Revised)" dated

January 13, 1953), insofar as said orders have reference to procedures to be

followed in the Department's relations with congressional committees. In

support of this order, reference should be had to the President's letter

dated May 17, 1954, addressed to the Secretary of Defense, and to the Attorney

General's Memorandum which accompanied 1t.]

A. REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION FROM DEPARIMENT FILES

I. Congressional committee requests for the examination of files

or other confidential information should be reduced to writing, signed by

the chairman of the committee, and addressed to the Deputy Attorney General,

who is responsible for the coordination of our liaison with Congress and

congressional committees. The request shall state the specific information

sought as well as the specific objective for which it is sought.

The Deputy

Attorney General will forward the request to the appropriate division where a

reply will be prepared and returned for the Deputy Attorey General's signa-

ture and dispatch to the chairman of the committee.

2. If the request concerns a closed case, 1. e., one in which

there is no litigation or administrative action pending or contemplated,

the file may be made available for review in the Department, in the presence

of the official or employee having custody thereof. The following procedure

shall be followed in such cases:

a. The reply letter will advise the committee that the

file is avallable for examination and set forth the

name, telephone extension number, and room number of

the person who will have custody of the file to be

reviewed;

NW. 65994 Dold: 32176842-Rage 18-- -- -

---

## Page 19

• 2 =

b. Before making the file available to the committee

representative all reports and memoranda from the FBI

as vell as investigative reports from any other agency,

will be removed from the file and not be made available

for examination; provided however that if the committee

representative states that it is essential that information

from the FBI reports and memoranda be made available,

he will be advised that the request will be considered

by the Department. Thereafter a summary of the contents

of the FBI reports and memoranda involved will be

prepared which will not disclose investigative tech-

niques, the identity of confidential informants, or

other matters which might jeopardize the investigative

operations of the FBI. This summary will be forwarded

by the division to the FBI with a request for advice as

tö whether the FBI has any objection to examination of

such summary by the committee representative. The file

will not be physically relinquished from the custody of

the Department. If the committee representative desires

to examine investigative reports from other government

agencies, contained in the files of the Department, he

will be advised to direct his request to the agency whose

reports are concerned.

3. If the request concerns an open case, 1. e., one which liti-

gation or administrative action 1s pending or contemplated, the file may

not be made available for examination by the committee's representative.

The following procedure shall be followed:

a. The reply letter should advise the conmittee that

Its request concerns a case in which litigation or

administrative action is pending or contemplatea, and

state that the file cannot be made available until the

case is completed; and

b. Should briefly set forth the status of the case in

as much detail as is practicable and prudent without

jeopardizing the pending contemplated litigation or

administrative action.

B. REQUESTS FOR INTERVIENS WITH DEPARIMENTAL PERSONNEL

I. Requests for Interviews with departmental personnel regarding

any official matters within the Department should be reduced to writing,

signed by the chairman of the committee, and addressed to the Deputy Attorney

General. Then the approval of the Deputy Attorney General is given, the

employee is expected to discuss such matters freely and cooperatively with

the representative, subject to the limitations prescribed in A respecting

open cases and data

• In investigative reports;

NW.65994-Docld:32176842 Page 19 - - --

## Page 20

• 3-

2. Upon the completion of the interview with the committee repre-

sentative the employee vill prepare a summary of it for the file, with a

copy routed to his division head and a copy routed to the Deputy Attorney

General.

C.

EMPLOYEES TESTIFYING BEFORE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES

I. When an employee is requested to testify before a congressional

committee regarding official matters within the Department the Deputy Attorney

General shall be promptly informed.

When the Deputy Attorney General's approv-

al is given the employee is expected to testify freely subject to limitations.

prescribed in A respecting open cases and date in investigative reports;

2. An employee subpoenaed to testify before a congressional committee

on official matters within the Department shall promptly notify the Deputy

Attorney General. In general he shall be guided in testifying by Order 3229

(Revised) and the President's letter of May 17, 1954, cited at the beginning

of this Order.

3. Upon the completion of his testimony the employee will prepare

a memorandum outlining his testimony with a copy routed to hig division head

and a copy routed to the Deputy Attorney General.

D. REQUESTS OF CONCRESSIONAL COMMITTELS FOR THE TESTIMONY OF FEDERAL PRISONERS

Because of the custodial hazards involved and the extent to which.

their public testimony may affect the discipline and well-being of the institu-

tion, it is the rolley of the Department not to deliver Federal prisoners out

the penal institution in which they are Incarcerated for the purpose of

being interviewed or examined under oath by congressional committees.

However,

when it appears that no pending investigation or legal proceeding will be

adversely affected thereby and that the public interest will not be otherwise

adversely affected, Federal prisoners may be interviewed or examined under oath

by congressional committees in the institution in which they are incarcerated

under the following procedures, and tith the specific advance approval of the

Deputy Attorney General.

1. Arrangements for interviewing and taking of sworn testimony

from a federal prisoner by a committee of the Congress or the authorized

representatives of such a committee shall be made in the form of a written

request by the chairman of the committee to the Deputy Attorney General.

2. Such written request shall be made at least ten (10) days

prior to the requested date for the interview and the taking of testimony

and shall be accompanied by written evidence that authorization for the

interview or the taking of sworn testimony was approved by vote of the com-

mittee.

Such request shall contain a statement of the purpose and the sub-

jects upon which the prisoner will be interrogated as vell as the names of

all persons other than the representatives of the Department of Justice who

M111 be present.

3. A member of the interested committee of the Congress shall be

present during the entire time of the interrogation.

NW.65994- Docld:32176842 Page-20 m- ---

## Page 21

= 4

4. The warden of the penal Institution in which the Federal

prisoner is incarcerated shall, at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the

time at which the Interview takes place, advise the Federal prisoner concerned

of the proposed intervlew or taling of svor testimony; and shall further

advise that he 1s under the same, but

no greater obligation to answer than any

other witness who is not a prisoner.

5. The warden of the penal institution shall have complete

authority in conformity with the requirements of security and the mainte-

nance of discipline to limit the number of persons who will be present at

the interview and taking of testimony.

6. The warden or his authorized representative shell be present

at the interview and at the taling of testimony and the Department of Justice

shall have the right to have one of its representatives present throughout

the interview and taking of testimony.

7. The committee shall arrange to have a stenographic transcript

made of the entire proceedings at committee expense and shall furnish a copy

of the transcript to the Department of Justice.

E. OBSERVERS IN ATTENDANCE AT COMMITTED HEARINGS

In order that the Department may be kept currently advised in

matters within its responsibility, and in order that the Deputy Attorney

General may properly coordinate the Department's liaison with Congress and

Its committees, each division that has an observer in attendance at a

congrssional hearing, will have the observer prepare a written summary of

the proceeding which should be sent to the division head and a copy routed

to the Deputy Attorney General.

Mr. Church's

By William Safire

WASHINGON, Nov. 19-On Oct. 10,

1963, the then-Attorney General of the

United States put his personal signa-

ture on a document that launched and

legitimatized one of the most horren-

dous abuses of Federal police power in

this century.

In Senator Frank Church's subcom-

mittee hearing room

this week,

the

authorized

wiretapping

and subse-

quent unauthorized bugging and at-

tempted blackmailing of Martin Luther

King Ji. is being gingerly examined,

with the "investigation" conducted in

such a way

as

not to unduly em-

barrass officials of

the Kennedy or

Johnson Administrations.

With great care, the committee has

focused on the F.B.I. Yesterday, when?

the committee counsel first set forth

the result of shuffling through press

clips, it seemed as if no Justice De-!

partment had existed in 1962; today,

an F.B.I. witness pointed out that it

was Robert Kennedy who authorized

the wiretap of Dr. King, and that "the

President of the United States and the

Altorney General specifically discussed

their concern of Communist influence

with Dr. King."

But the Church committee showed

no zest for getting further to the Ken-

nedy root of this precedent to Water-

gate eavesdropping. If Senator Church

were willing to let the chips fall where

they may, he would call some knowl-

edgeable witnesses into the glare of

the camera lights and ask them some

questions that have gone unasked for

• thirteen years.

For example, he could call Nicholas

Katzenbach, Attorney General Ken-

nedy's deputy and successor, and ask

what he knows of the Kennedy de-

cision to wiretap Dr. King.

Justice concurred in the recommenda-

tion? How does the F.B.I. know the 1

President was consulted or informed?

After Mr. Katzenbach assumed of-

fice, and the wiretapping continued, i

he was told by angry newsmen that

the F.B.I. was leaking scurrilous in-

formation about Dr. King. Why did he

wait for four months, and for a thou.

sand telephonic interceptions, to dis

continue the officially approved tap?

Of course, this sort of testimony

would erode Senator Church's political

base. That is why we do not see for-

trier Assistant F.B.I. dircelor Cartha

(Icke)

Deleach,

Lyndon

Johnson's

personal contact with the F.B.I. in the

witness chair.

What did President

Johnson know about the character-

assascination plot and when did he

know it? What conversations took

place betwaen Mr. Deioach and Presi

dent Johnson on the sapping rif lor.

King, or about the lse of the F.B.I. in

any alier intrusions into the lives oi

NW 65994 ~Docld:32176842 Page 63

Lover-Up

Ine committee is not asking embar-

rassing questions even when answers

avallable. A couple of

weeks ago, at an open

F.B.I. man inadvertently started

blurt out an episode about newsmen

who were weritapping in

the apparent knowledge of Attorney

General Kennedy. The too-willing wit!

ness was promptly shooshed into st

lence, and told that such information

session. Nobody raised an eyebrow.

That pattern of containment by the

Church committee is vividly shown by

the handling of the buggings at the

1964 Republican and Democratic con-

ESSAY

ventions which were ordered by Lyn-

don Johnson. Such invasions of politi-

cal headquarters were worse than the

crime committed at Watergate, since

they involved the use of

but the Church investigators seem to

be determined not to probe too deeply.

If F.B.I. documents say that reports

were made to specific Johnson aides,

are those men not given the

same opportunity to publicly tell their

dent's men? If Lyndon. Johnson com-

mitted this impeachable high crime of

using the F.B.I. to spy on political,

opponents, who can be brought foi-

ward to tell us all about it?

But that would cause embarrass-

ment to

Democrats,

and

Church wants to embarrass profes-

sional

employees

of

investigatory

agencies only. A new sense of Con-

gressional decorum exists, far from

the sense of outrage expressed in the

Senate Watergate

committee's

hear-

ing room. When it is revealed that the

management of NBC News gave press

credentials to L.B.J.'s spies at the 1964

convention, everybody blushes demure-

yand nobody demands to knov

which network executive made what.

decision under what pressure.

I have been haranguing

patient

readers for years about the double

standard applied

to Democratic and

Republican political crimes, and had

hoped the day would come when the

hardball precedents see by the Ker-

neav and Johnson men would be isid

before the public in damning detail.

Obviously, Democrat Frank Church

is not the man

shaking indignation is ail

tive; the trail of high-level responsi-

bility for the crimes committed against

Dr. King and others is evicientiy going

to be allowed to cook.

Pity. You'd think that alier ail

nation has bren through in the past

fely years, our political leaders kould!

A COPY OF THE STATEMENT I DELIVERED BEFORE THE SENATE

SELECT CULMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES TODAY HAS BEEN

SENT ALL OFFICES. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THERE FOLLOWS A

SYNOPSIZED ACCOUNT OF THE FAJOR AREAS OF THE COMMITTEE'S

QUESTIONS TO ME, TOGETHER

WITH MY RESPONSES:

•(1) REGARDING FBI INFORMANIS, QUESTIONS WERE ASKED

WHETHER COURT APPROVAL SHOULD BE REQUIRED FOR FBI USE OF

INFORMANTS IN INVESTIGATIONS OF ORGANIZATIONS (MY RESPONSE

WAS THAT THE CONTROLS WHICH EXIST

TODAY OVER USE OF INFORiANIS

ARE SATISFACIORY); HOW CAN FBI KEEP INFORMANIS OPERATING

WITHIN PROPER LIMITS SO THEY DO NOT INVADE RIGHTS OF OTHER

PERSONS (HY RESPONSE WAS THAT RELIANCE MUST BE PLACED ON THE

TESTIFY ACCURATELY WHEN HE TOLD THE COMMITTEE ON DECEMBER 2

THAT HE INFORMED FBI OF PLANNED ACTS OF VIOLENCE BUT FBI

DID NOT ACT TO PREVENT THEM CMY RESPONSE WAS THAT ROWE'S

TESTIMONY WAS NOT ACCURATE) •

(2) IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING IMPROPER

CONDUCI BY FBI EMPLOYEES, I STATED THAT ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF

LAW BY FBI PERSONNEL SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY THE FBI OR

OTHER APPROPRIATE AGENCY; THAT THE INSPECTION DIVISION HAS

CONDUCTED INQUIRIES REGARDING ALLEGATIONS OF MISCONDUCT;

THAT AN OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY HAS JUST

BEEN ESTABLISHED IN THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, AND WE WILL ADVISE

THAT OFFICE OF OUR MAJOR INVESIIGATIONS OF DEPARIMENIAL PERSONNEL,

INCLUDING FBI EMPLOYEES, FOR ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF LAW, REGULATIONS,

OR STANDARDS OF CONDUCI; THAT I WOULD RESERVE COMMENT

REGARDING POSSIBLE CREATION OF A NATIONAL INSPECIOR GENERAL

TO CONSIDER MATTERS OF MISCONDUCT BY EMPLOYEES OF ANY FEDERAL

AGENCY.

(3) IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS CONCERNING HARASSMENT OF

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., I STATED THAT THE PERSONS WHO ISSUED

THE ORDERS WHICH RESULTED IN SUCH HARASSMENT SHOULD FACE THE

RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT, RATHER THAN THOSE UNDER THEM WHO CARRIED

OUT SUCH ORDERS IN GOOD FAITH; THAT THE FBI STILL HAS RECORDINGS

RESULIING FROM ELECIRONIC SURVEILLANCES OF KING; THAT WE RETAIN

RECORDINGS FOR TEN YEARS BUT WE ALSO HAVE AGREED TO A REQUEST

FROM THE SENATE NOT TO DESTROY INFORMATION IN OUR FILES WHILE

CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRIES ARE BEING CONDUCTED; IHAT I HAVE NOT

REVIEWED THE KING TAPES; THAT IF THE COMMITTEE REQUESTED TO

REVIEW THE KING TAPES, THE REQUEST WOULD BE REFERRED TO THE

ATTORNEY GENERAL.

(4) IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS REGARDING WHETHER IT WOULD

BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO SEPARATE THE FBI CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE

RESPONSIBILITIES AND OUR INTELLIGENCE FUNCIIONS, I STATED

THAT WE HAVE FOUND THE TWO AREAS IO BE COMPATIBLE, AND I

FEEL THE FBI IS DOING A SPLENDID JOB

IN BOTH AREAS.

(5) IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS CONCERNING INE ADEQUACY

OF CONTROLS ON REQUESTS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AND FROM OTHER

GOVERNMENI AGENCIES FOR FBI INVESTIGATIONS OR FOR INFORMATION

NW 65994 Döcld:32176842 Page 66. -

FROM OUR FILES, I STATED THAT WHEN SUCH REQUESIS ARE MADE

ORALLY, THEY SHOULD BE CONFIRMED IN WRITING; THAT WE WOULD

WELCOME ANY LEGISLATIVE GUIDELINES THE CONGRESS FEELS WOULD

PROTECT THE FBI FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF PARTISAN MISUSE •

A FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WILL BE

FURNISHED TO EACH OFFICE AS SOON AS IT IS AVAILABLE.

SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC)

INTERVIEW OF SPECIAL AGENT FRANCIS. T. LEONARD BY SSC STAFF

MEMBER MICHAEL EPSTEIN

A. M., Special Agent Francis I. Leonard, who is currently

assigned to the Boston Division, met with SSC Staff Member

Michael Epstein in a room on the sixth floor of the Old Senate

Office Building, Washington, D. C.

Special Agent Leonard was not provided with a warning

as to his rights nor was he placed under oath at the outset of

the interview.

The only two occupants of the room at the outset of

this interview were Leonard and Epstein. Epstein ascertained

from Leonard that he had entered on duty as a Special Agent

with the FBI on August 6, 1951, and had been assigned to the

of the United States.

Epstein inquired as to what role Leonard played in the

investigation of one Stanley David Levison. Leonard replied that

he was the case Agent of the Stanley David Levison investigation

during the late 1950s and early 1960s although he could not be

sure of the exact years because of the extensive period of time

that has elapsed since he was involved in that investigation.

Epstein queried Leonard as to his recollection of how he

became

the case Agent in the Levison case, and Leonard replied that to

the best of his recollection, the Levison case was reopened and

assigned to him based on new information that Levison was a

secret member of the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA).

INTERVIEW OF SPECIAL AGENT FRANCIS T. LEONARD BY SSC STAFF

MEMBER MICHAEL EPSTEIN

At this point Epstein stated wasn't it in fact Levison's

association with Martin Luther King, Jr., that led to the

reopening of the case and Leonard replied that he was positive

that was not the reason for the reopening of the case but

rather information regarding Levison's activities with the

Epstein inquired as to specifically what these

activities of Levison's were and leonard refused to reveal

them because he

felt that by so doing, he may jeopardize the

security of a highly reliable source of the Bureau that had

furnished the information regarding Levison.

Leonard further

explained that he felt this

would be in violation of the agree-

ment between the

Bureau and the Committee if he should reveal

this information.

Epstein then showed Special Agent Leonard a memorandum

bearing his name to the SAC, New York, dated August 22, 1962:

entitled Stanley David Levison and asked Leonard if he recalled

the memo. Special Agent Leonard stated that he did not recall

the memo

but that undoubtedly it was

his memo and appeared to

be a

characterization of Stanley David Levison.

Epstein then

inquired as to what the procedure was

for formulating such a

characterization and it was explained to him by Special Agent

Leonard to the best of his knowledge. At this point Epstein

stated that he would prefer to continue the

interview with the

presence of a court stenographer and asked if Special Agent

Leonard had any objection to that: Special Agent Leonard

replied that he had no objection to a court stenographer being

present. At this point the interview was terminated at approxi-

mately 11:05 A.M.

The interview was resumed at 11:25 A. M. in the same

noom with the

court stenographer present and all the informa-

tion discussed in the first interview was repeated for the

benefit of the court stenographer up to and including the dis-

cussion regarding the characterization of Stanley David Levison

dated August 22, 1962. At that point in the second interview,

Epstein held up

a report on Martin Luther King, Jr., written

by Special Agent John Elliott of the New York Office. Epstein

asked Leonard if he knew Elliott and he replied that he did. He

did not make the report available to Leonard but Epstein then

MEMBER MICHAEL EPSTEIN

asked Leonard if he was aware of any relationship between

Stanley David Levison and Martin Luther King prior to Leonard.

being assigned the case Agent of the Levison

investigation.

Leonard replied that he was not. At this point Epstein

referred to page 17 of Elliott's report and gave the follow-

ing four dates:

December 26, 1956; September 24, 1958;

January 18, 1959; and

May 6,

1960; on which it was reported

by sources of the FBI that there was a relationship between

Stanley David Levison and Martin Luther King, Jr.

At this point Epstein produced another memorandum

written by Special

Agent Leonard

to the SAC, New York, dated

July 26, 1963, which was another characterization of

Stanley

David Levison

stating that he was a secret member of the CPUSA:

Epstein asked Leonard if he recalled writing such a memorandum

replied that although he did not recall it, obviousiy

it was

a memorandum

written by himat that time. Again Epstein

and Leonard discussed the administrative procedure that would

be used by the New

York Office to make up a characterization

regarding an individual.. During this portion of

versation, Epstein asked Leonard if he knew the identity of

the Agent

who handled the highly reliable source that was

used to characterize Stanley David Levison.

Leonard stated

that he did know the identity of the Agent but refused to

disclose it because by so doing it could lead to the identifica-

tion of this highly reliable source of information.

At this

point Epstein asked

Leonard what he meant when

he said Levison

member of the Communist Party and Leonard pointed

out to Epstein that it was not leonard but the source of this

information who described Levison as a secret member of the

Communist Party and that Leonard was merely repeating that for

the purpose of making a characterization of Levison.

Epstein

then asked Leonard, what his definition was of a secret member

of the CP and Leonard said he could only give his own definition

because he was not aware of the criteria that Bureau headquarters

or the New York Office would have for such a definition. Epstein

stated that he desired Leonard to give his own definition which

he furnished as follows:

MEMBER MICHAEL EPSTEIN

1. An individual that would not openly take

part in any CPUSA function such as a national

convention or state or district convention.

2.

An individual who would not be carried on any

membership list.

3.. Not to be a card carrying member of the CP.

4. Not to be publicly associated with any known

members of the CP, socially or otherwise.

Leonard further stated that a secrèt member would be an

individual who adhered to and supported the principle of the

CPUSA, that is, to overthrow the United States Government by

force and

violence and that a secret member would make a

contribution to the CPUSA

in order that they could accomplish

that goal whether it be financial or otherwise.

Epstein then asked if the FBI made any effort to

establish Stanley David Levison's connection with the CPUSA

other than that which was furnished by the highly reliable

source referred to earlier in this memorandum.

Leonard

stated

that there was a constant effort made by physical surveillances

and contact with other sources of information to determine

relationship between Stanley Levison and other CP members.

Epstein asked if Leonard participated in any physical surveillances

of Stanley Levison and Leonard stated that he did recall taking

part in such physical surveillances but could not recall the

results of these surveillances.

Epstein and Leonard then discussed memoranda regard

ing technical surveillances of Stanley David Levison in very

general terms. Epstein asked if Leonard could recall any

evidence of Stanley Levison influencing the civil rights movement

at the direction of

the CPUSA and Special Agent Leonard answered

that he could not.

The interview was terminated with two last questions,

one regarding the fact that if Special Agent Leonard had

knowledge that microphones were installed at one time or another

in the hotel rooms of Martin Luther King and Leonard answered

that he had recollection of general information to that effect

and, secondly, did Special Agent Leonard know William Sullivan

(presumably former Assistant Director William Sullivan) and

Special Agent Leonard replied his only personal relationship

with Sullivan was when Sullivan lectured to Leonard's training

class in 1951.

The interview was terminated at approximately 1:35 P.M.
