UNUSUAL TECHNIQUE

INSTALLATION OF MICROPHONE SURVEILLANCE

KANSAS CITY DIVISION

Reurlet 1/22/62.

Referenced letter submitted diagrams and technical details

of the microphone installation recently completed by SA George D. Adams

of your office in connection with the investigation captioned "Nicholas

Civella, aka., Anti-Racketeering. " A sample recording obtained from

this installation was also submitted under cover of referenced letter.

Descriptive material furnished indicates that the installation

was well planned and that detailed attention was given to all aspects of

the installation. This is further evidenced by the excellent quality of

the binaural recording obtained from the installation. Although

penetration of a common wall to achieve microphone coverage is not a

new technique, SA Adams displayed alertness and ingenuity in taking

advantage of an unusual condition to achieve this microphone coverage.

I desire that you personally express my appreciation to

SA Adams and to other personnel of your office who may have assisted

him for the excellent work which was done in connection with this

installation.
