: STAFF PAYROLL RECORDS

AGENCY FILE NUMBER

December 8, 1995

Status of Document:

Postponed in Part

Number of releases of previously postponed information: 6

Reason for Board Action: The Review Board's decision was premised on several factors

including: (a) the significant historical interest in the document in question; (b) the

absence of evidence that the release of the information would cause harm to the United

States or to any individual.

Number of Postponements: 3

Postponements: All the postponements in this document represent Social Security numbers.

Reason for Board Action: The text is redacted because the public disclosure of the redaction could

reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, and that invasion of

privacy would be so substantial that it outweighs the public interest.

RE:

Robert Blakey

Robert Lehner

July 19, 1977

Applicant Peter G.

Beeson

Mr. Beeson is an intelligent, articulate young man who evinced

great interest in working with us

He has some knowledge of the

King case and possesses an open mind as to its resolution. He has

tried some Narcotic Conspiracy cases for the Justice Department

and has filed appellate briefs. He would be a welcomed addition to

our team.

His present salary is $20,00. He states as of March 15, 1978

he would

expect to make $25,000 under a GS-13 rating and therefore

requests $25,000 with us. He will be available to start with us in

the next two weeks.

I recommend we take him.

Professor G. Robert Blakey

House Select Committee on Assassinations

House of Representatives

Washington, D.C.

20515•

Dear Professor Blakey:

I am sending the resume which you requested,

along with a suggested salary of $25,000, (in line

with the level which I would automatically reach with

the Justice Department in the relatively near future).

The litigation experience reflected on the re-

is almost complete; it omits only a second casel

in Puerto Rico (conspiracy) currently in pre-trial

stages, an Atlanta conspiracy case 1 am preparing

to indict, and a brief just completed for an appeal

to the Ninth Circuit. The job has provided me with

a varied and respectable amount of litigation and

appeal experience, in addition to the more routine

matters (immunities.

witness protections, indict-

ment dismissals, Title III wiretap authorizations,

solicitor general memos etc.) handled on a daily

basis by the various sections within the Criminal

Division.

The job which you have described obviously

presents an exciting and unique opportunity. Further,

I would consider it an honor to work with you on

the investigation. I expect I would be able to start

work with you within a month, or sooner, should an

offer be extended. I look forward to hearing from

you in the near future.

CS:

Sincerely,

Teder

Peter Beeson!?
