JFK SPECIAL

The Washington Star News, a Washington, D. C., dally newspaper,

Panel."* The article quotes Tom H.YBoggs, Jr., son of the late Representative

Hale Boggs, as claiming that in 1970 his father gave him dossiers which the

FBI compiled on critics of the Warren Commission in an attempt to discredit

them. According to the article, Boggs' son stated "they weren't basically sex

files. They had some of that element but most of the material dealt with left

wing organizations these people belonged to. "

Tom H. Boggs, Jr., declined to identify all 7 of the critical authors

but stated that writer Edward J. Epstein and lawyer Mark Lane were among

the individuals whom he had information regarding. Boggs, Jr., reportedly

stated that the information given him by his father included a photograph of

one of the 7 engaging in an unnatural sex act with two women.

REVIEW OF BUREAU FILES

In a review of Bureau files by the Inspection Staff, no evidence was

found that any information of this nature was ever disseminated directly to

Hale Boggs from the FBI.

However, the Bureau file review indicates that on November 8, 1966,

memoranda were furnished to Marvin Watson, Special Assistant to President

Johnson, at the White House, setting forth pertinent information contained in

Bureau files regarding background on seven individuals who wrote unfavorable

articles concerning the Warren Commission Findin i 62-109080-6357
