Re Chicago letter to Bureau dated 9/27/76; Bureau

teletype to Chicago dated 10/27/76; Chicago teletype to Bureat

and Minneapolis dated 11/10/76 and Chicago letter to San

Antonio (IO) dated 11/10/76.

The referenced Chicago letter set forth the intended

plan of action of the Chicago Division as a high level jewelry

and stolen property fencing operation.

The referenced Bureau

teletype authorized expenditure of FBI funds for the operation.

The Chicago teletype dated 11/10/76 set forth recent develope

ments at Chicago, which will be discussed below.

business as a channel for secret funds. Therefore, they are

only interested in high level burglaries and trailer loads

of merchandise.

This attitude should discourage the street

level hoodlum from attempting to unload the proceeds of a

low level robbery, l.e. a purse-snatching, at the business.

However, for the individual or group more prominent in the

criminal hierarchy, no deal will be too large or too small

for perusal by the operation.

Chicago made arrangements with the Austin Resident

Agency, San Antonio Division, to have a background entered

for the UTSA into the Texas Drivers License Computer.

The

background was furnished to FBI Liaison at Austin with the

Chief of the Texas Drivers License Bureau by letter which

accomplished the entry by legal means.

computer will reflect the actual Texas license was reported

lost by the individual

and application was made by him for

a State of Illinois Drivers License.

Chicago made the actual

application for the Illinois Drivers License and furnished

an appropriate cover letter to the Chief Investigator of the

Secretary of States Office, who has had liaison established

in the past with the Field Supervisor at Chicago directing

this operation.

Other UT identifiers for the UTSA have been

applied for through FBI HO Liaison under separate cover.

On 11/10/76,

source advised that a notoriou

-source,

with numerous criminal contacts, including LCN

figures, planned a "party" in honor of the source's new

business venture. The UTSA, with Bureau authority, flew to

Chicago from Minnesota, and

on the evening of 11/11/76, the

source, three of

the source's paid "bodyguards" and the

UTSA attended this party. At this party were over sixty

persons, including white

and Negro armed robbers, burglars,

fences, high level prostitutes and "kinky" attorneys.

Numerous invaluable contacts were initiated by the source

and a guest list of those in attendance is being obtained

for "business purposes."

As of 11/12/76 the suite was decorated, the

furniture and rug installed. The Technical Security personnel

buzzer system for entrance to the shop is operational. The

burglar alarm system used in Field Division Resident Agencies

has been selected for installation as it has proven more

effective than ADT Alarm Systems. At Chicago there is a
