21 December 1976

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Security Analysis Group

FROM

: John S. Hunt

SUBJECT

: Reverend Martin Luther King, JI.

Department of Justice Request

1. Reference is made to our 21 October 1976 (OS 64363/A)

response to a Department of Justice request which forwarded to

the General Counsel copies of numerous

Office of Security

documents which the Department of Justice had asked to review.

2. On 17 December 1976 five Department of Justice

attorneys, headed by Mr. Frederick G. Folsom,

met with the

undersigned and Mr. George Jameson of the Office of General

Counsel to review the referenced material. Mr.

Sovern of the Special

Assistant/DDO's Office was also present

to make certain Directorate of Operations documents available

for review.

3.

Mr. Folsom and his associates reviewed all of the

Office of Security documents and in general commented that

they had not discovered any

new or startling information, and

in fact Mr. Folsom stated "there are no smoking guns in your

[CIA's] files." Mr. Folsom also stated that he does not intend

to request any copies of Agency documents, although he did not

preclude such a possibility in the future and asked that the

documents be maintained by the Office of General Counsel

pending completion of the Department of Justice's inquiry.

4. Mr. Jameson will advise the undersigned should he

receive any additional requests from the Department of Justice

in this regard.
