scheduled tor delivery by him on the Senate Floor, Hay 4 and 5,
1966. The morning press reported Senator Kennedy delivered
part of the speech Hay 9, l96q,and will conclude it Hay 10, l966.
In unnallueln A I.-a-a--b _ -_ _.... - .._nu 3 pvauo UL uupareru {urchin BPBUUhEB|
Senator Kennedy noted the existence oi good will between the
, United States and Latin America as evidenced by President
Johnson's recent visit to Mexico. He interpreted statements
.made in Mexico by President Johnson as a commitment to the ideals or the Alliance tor Progress. "
Senator Kennedy analyzed the geographic, economic and
political problems of Latin America. He made suggestions and
recommendations for their solution which were hosed open his
observations during an extensive tour of Latin America last g
fall. He did not discuss political personalities in the Dominican92*
Republic. He was mildly critical oi Administration policy,
making note oi the following in a discussion oi-BCbmmunism,
Intervention and the Dominican Republic." He prefaced the '
remarks with the statement that it was not his purpose to rake

! Ie should lake it clear that we will
not take such action in the future without serious
and precise consultation with the Organization of
American States.
Senator Kennedy was critical oi the United StatesGovernment's use of universities for intelligence purposesin foreign countries but he placed responsibility for thissituation upon the Congress which appropriated money tor
research purposes to the military rather than to the StateDepartment and Agency for International Development.

./~ 92In my letter dated May 12, mes, to Assistant Attorney
General Rogovin, Tax Division, my views concerning the best me ed
of liahdling this matter were set forth in detail. I believe these recom--..t1 ' I
,_ _-resultjoi our conversation of May 20, 1966, certain undesirable ieatur
m the originai memorandum have been eliminated from theliew draft. ;
92_I_92_92.Vhile._I_have found no basic inaccuracy in the revised memorandum, I .3.»=f E- ':.'- With reference to the revised memorandum, I note that as a tax
-still question the necessity of spelling out in the revised memorandum "3
such detailed in£ormatio"nconcerning our confidential coverage. 'Ihe_ -'
Criminal Division, conscious oi the effect which such disclosure could ~
havefon the civil suit in Les Vegas and the pending criminal action ' -v

h _ _lf, on the other hand, it is your decision to proceed with the ']V92¬-

is the third version of this proposed memorandum. g- _ 92. _._... . if-:¥'
Basically, this memorandum is the same as the second :q
' version concerning which our views were furnished to the Depart- "_ ment by letter dated Hay 23.' There is a significant difference. .__%§j' On Page 4, footnote 4 states, "Incidents similar to that described <»?§ in this memorandum will not recur." It then goes on to state '§et
that longstanding policies of the Department of Justice required '
Attorney General authorization for wiretapping but until recently-
such authorization was not required concerning other types of 1
listening devices. It further states that since early 1965,
use of listening devices has been strictly confined to collection ~
of intelligence affecting national security and then only with> _;1.Attorney General written authorization. , I =-.
Bureau was operating independently when we employed listening - - - t?
devices. R0 ovin was told definitel that we ob'ect vehementl i». B Y J Y =_l- to this footnote. He was emphatically tozd that we had gt;" Attorney General authorization from _§enneHy for use of ' _ pi4l1'.Rober

Robert Kennedy had given general authorization for the use 01'T-It
microphones if this became necessary because of any public '"-.
misconception caused by this footnote. lhtzenbach was adamant _
|;that this footnote remain in the document and stated he would -5
not have included it in the proposed memorandum if he had ot ;;@T[~
desired it to be there. I continued to protest and he became ,g~ -'
quite irritated at that time. He stated that he was willing92F§§&5
to change the language and suggested that instead of arguingv .?*
about whether or not this footnote should he placed in the "
document, that we should imnediately draft language which-
would avoid the objectionable features.1-
' f. At this point I suggested to the Attorney General
that he include the fact that there was general Departmental '
authorizattan for the use of these devices. This statement -
would indicate to anyone reading it that the Bureau was acting
with Departmental authority and nt acting on.its own
initiative eith respect to these devices. The Attorne? General"
agreed to placing this statement in the documnt and modified
it to this extent "there was general Departmental authorizationof longstanding for the use of these devices." A Thermofax copy Ifof the proposed draft is attached indicating where the proposed
change would be page 4, footnote 4!, _ _
The Attorney General then went on to state that he
felt inclusion of the footnote was necessary to forestall
questions hy the press or the court and he added that he knew
the President would desire some such statement incorporated -
in this document. no did not elaborate on this point. He was
advised that this undoubtedly could be handled with the press by
saying the Department could not cement because the instant| matter involved a pending case,I
- The Attorney General then agreed that the proposed '
memorandum could not be filed until Hay 24, 1966.
Pursuant to the DirectorFs instructions, the .; .*
Attorney General was advised that the Director still felt _ »sthat the footnote was superfluous but that we would have to - %2?:defer ts the Depsrtsent= 1 advised his that ,

name of former Attorney General Robert Kenndy as having given _, e
authority for the use of microphoee. The Attorney General I%-¢
"' indicated that Former Attorney General Kennedy stated he did not@3;;
give such over-all authority but he realized that the Bureau had,;f'
certain documents which would raise a question concerning this F J
contention. I informed him that we certainly did and once again ;.
reviewed with him the document which Kennedy signed for the -'¥>¥.
A New York Telephone Company, authorizing microphones, together ~
with several memoranda of former Assistant Director Courtney A. _
' Evans, indicating that the Attorney General was completely g
' cognizant and had authorized the use of microphones in the field 1
of organized crime. He was again advised that Kennedy had listened-
to a number of tapes of microphone coverage played to him in Chicago
and New York. The Attorney General made no further observations #
' concerning this point. 1 s
The Attorney General then stated that he felt the
' press would definitely want to know if these practices still -
- exist and ask questions along the lines of the information in
the footnote. He was much more concilliatory than when I was -
in his office and stated that if the Bureau desired, he would -
eliminate instant footnote and have it answered by Departmental 'e-'
spokesmen when the press inquired. As the Director very quickly
recognized, the Department would undoubtedly like to use this .
tactic so that Rosenthal could conveniently omit'that sentence
about our having general Departmental authorization for the use
of these devices.in answering press inquiries.
Pursuant to the Director's instructions, the Attorney
General was subsequently advised that we felt the statement
should stand as it is on the record rather than by making reference '
to it orally to the press. At this time the Attorney General made
the observation, "The Solicitor General is not going to like
this very well." _
It appears that the Attorney General new feels that the
Department has boxed itself in to some extent by agreeing to the
statement that we had general Departmental authority to use these
devices.

telephonically contacted me and advised that the Department '.¢4}.
number 4 in the petition for the Supreme Court in instant *1
ease. "Present Departmental policy which has been in effect _*a
since 1965 confines the use of listening devices such as these -
herein involved and also the interception of wire communications -
to the collection of intelligence affecting the national -
security, it else requires in eeeh iastanee a specific - _
authorization by the Attorney General. This policy superseded 7~
the broader-authorization which had been in effect for a _
number of years." U _
1 imediately objected to the revised footnote andlistated that it materially differedxfrom that which the. Attorney General had previously agreedfto in that it did not
contain the fact that the Department had generally authorized
the use of microphones, __govn _ien agreed to change the
last sentence in the above quoted footnote to read "This
policy superseded the broader Departmental authorization which
had been in effect for a number of years." It is not felt -
that this materially differs from the key sentence in the
previous footnote which we insisted on, i. e.,.that there
was general Departmental authorization of long standing for
the use of these devices, This was an apparent attempt by the
Department to throw us a real curve by attempting to slip|| through a revised footnote which would minimise or cause douht
as to the broad Departmental authorization of the use of
electronic devices and create the impression that the Bureau
was operating in this sphere without Departmental authorization.I By inserting the word Departmental, it is felt that theimpression that the Bureau was operating on its own initiative
is not created.

REGARDING AUTHORIZATION OP MICROPHONE -- __

'7' .-' n
Pursuant to instructions, I saw Former Attorney General
William P. Rogers in his office, 2000 Park Avenue The Pan American
Building!, at 3 p.m., 7/7/66. Assistant Director Malone accompanied
At the outset I told Hr. Rogers that I wanted to be perfectlyfrank and honest with him----Just as in the days when the FBI had //
enjoyed such pleasant relations while he was Attorney General. He.
was reminded of our two previous telephonic conversations, of 7/5 =and 7/6/66; and was told that the FBI more or less had its back I 92
against the wall because the Department, headed by the two Attorneys
General who came after him, refused to admit the truth regarding
authorization of placement of microphones, and commission of trespass
in such placement. He was then briefed thoroughly regarding each
phase of the Black case, including the placement of the microphone
on 2/7A63for approximately two months; the frequent admitted briefing
of Bobby Kennedy by Evans; notification and review of logs by the
Criminal Division of the Department; and the subsequent exposure of
the microphone, without logical explanation, by Solicitor General
Marshall----at the behest of Katzenbach and the Tax Division.
Hr Rogers was next shown the proposed brief submitted to¢

l
. I
the FBI by the Department----which was supposed to answer the questioner
raised by the Supreme Court. I then showed him our analysis of the
brief and the underlined counterproposals which made it clear the FBI '
had operated under specific authority.
- Hr. Rogers was told that it was not the FBI's idea to expressE;
in the original brief the intimation that microphone authority was
initiated a decade ago by the Republicans. Be was advised that this
was Katzenbach's idea and that the reasons were perfectly obvious, "

I told Rogers that Katzenbach's c1aims'were absolutely false
and this represented further evidence that he was protecting himselt
and someone else. Hr. Rogers asked it we bad proof, over and above
verbal conversations. I replied in the aiiirmative and then showed
him in rapid order: l! The Kennedy signature memorandum oi 8/17/61
concerning the New York Telephone Company; ! The Assistant AG
Miller letter 02 5/25/61, to Senator Sam Ervin, which told oi the
specific number oi microphones and wiretaps in usage by the FBI;
! The memorandum to Deputy AG White, dated 5/4/61, which not only
advised of the usage of microphones but specifically outlined the
necessity of tres ass- ! The Internal Revenue memorandum of 2/15/611; which 1-er1e~=+=ed § _and ! The various Evans memoranda whic c e u ned
the enthusiasm oi Kennedy regarding FBI usage or microphones.
I told Mr. Rogers o£_§ennedy,listening to microphone
.tape recordings in both Chicago and New York. At this_point I asked
Hr. Malone to describe the incident in New York wherein Kennedy not
only listened to the tape recording but_5Qmplained of the qualityof equipment utilised by themFB1. Malone described this in detail.

I told Hr. Rogers that I would like to go back to the
reference placed in the brief by Katzenbach which concerned
"authorization given a decade ago." He was advised that if -
Katzenbach persisted in using such phraseology this would neces- -therefore this point '

not want to be placedsarily involve both him and Mr. Brownell;
should be clarified. He was advised that
be press inquiries and that the FBI would
in the position of refuting or contesting the claims of good friends.
I then read to him Mr. Brownell's memorandum to the Director, dated
-5/20/54, which set forth in explicit language the fact that the FBI -
'was permitted to utilize microphone surveillances for proper
discharge of its responsibilities in the fields of "internal e
security" and "national safety." I pointed out that the matter
of trespass was clearly recognized. It was also pointed out that
'"national safety" most certainly embraced the field ef high level,lorganized crime, inasmuch as gross murders, wholesale distribution
of narcotics, and considerable public corruption definitely concerned
the "national safety." I told him I wanted to go further; that
most certainly he recalled having various verbal conversations
with both the Director and former Assistant to the Director L. B.
Nichols relative to the subject of usage of microphones. I showed
him a memorandum written by L. B. Nichols dated 4/27/54, wherein
Rogers specifically told Nichols that he thought it would'be a
better procedure to use the Breunell memorandum as authorization,
rather than go to the Attorney General in each individual case.

' I also told Rogers that I thought he would remember the t=-
decision of the Supreme Ceurt in the Irvin Case, wherein the Bureau.
had been cautioned by the Department to use restraint in the usage Q5"
of electronic devices} rather than placing such devices on small-time
hoodlums, as happened in the case of Irvin. I told Rogers that most
certainly such phraseology meant that it would be satisfactory to use
such devices on high-level racketeers and hoodlums. H
Rogers thought for a moment or two. He then stated he would
stand back of any memorandum in Bureau files which quoted him. He
reiterated that he did net east himself er Breenell to become the
scapegoat in this matter, inasmuch as it appeared perfectly obvious
that Katzenbach and Kennedy were trying to embarrass both him and
Brownell.
' I asked him what reply he would make if the press contacted
him regarding the language Katzenbach proposed to send to the Supreme
Court. He stated he would make "no comment" to the press if it
was clearly indicated that it would embarrass the FBI. He added,
heeeger, that if Kataenbach was deliberately attempting to embarrass
him and Brownell, he would fall back on the Brownell memorandum of
5/20/54 and go no further. He stated that such a position would
certainly not harm the FBI in any manner.
I told Hr. Rogers we deeply appreciated the time he had
given us and that, in conclusion, I felt certain we could count on
him. Re stated if there was any doubt in my mind he would be very
happy to call the Director at that moment and explain his position.
I told him there was no demht is my mimd; however, he should feel
free to call the Director at any time. He then telephonically con-
tacted the Director while Mr. Malone and I were in his office.
Upon preparing to depart Mr. Rogers office, he asked us
up to the Pan American rooftop club for quick refreshments, where
we briefly went over the above-mentioned conversation a second time.
RECOMMENDATIONS; -
1. I will see Deputy AG Ramsey Clark as early as possible
on the morning of 7/8/66 and clearly advise him of our interviews -f
with both former AG Rogers and Courtney Evans,and Clark will he told
that all we want is a truthful presentation of the facts. He wills"
be given the facts of my interview with Rogers. He will also betold that if he still thinks that Evans is vague92§e should shd for

from him, he replied. "I did mt. " He was next asked it that meant thatwire taps were made by someone at the Department of Justice without
his knowledge. Kennedy answered, "Well, ii there were any wire taps
that took place outside of national security cases, then they were. "
Asked if this might mean the FBI was doing some wire tapping that he
didn't know about, Senator Kennedy replied, "Well, I expect maybe some
lof those iacts are going to be developed. The only time I authorized or
was ever requested to authorize wire tapping was in connection with _

l I - !', ' '!_-"',.
2This article concerns the disclosures by Solicitor General
Thur ood Marshall before the Su reme Court on 7-13-66 in which he reported _ E P
that the FBI, in planting electronic listening devices in some major criminal _ e
investigations, had acted under the authority of the Department of Justice. -
, The article relates that Marshall said the Departmental practice of authorizing' "eavesdropping"was in effect for a period of years pqvr to 1963, a.ndit_ specically
= points out that this included the period when Rober ennedy was Attorney General
It is made clear by this article that the Director was §ETIltg' under Departmen ,1
authorization and that this continued until June, 19 65, when these devices we -_;
. prohibited by Presidential order. ;
This is a good analysis of the issues involved in this controversy
and it is apparent that U;S. News and World Report is Striving to make it clear 1 .
that the FBI did not use these devices on its own initiative. The article should " U 4

"reservations" over the bombing of North Vietnam, but he continues .
to vote for the appropriations which keep the bombs felling. Kennedy ,
is "concerned" about the troop build-up in South Vietnam, but today "
he sits at the same platform as more-war candidate Duncan, a rubber-
stamp supporter of Johnson policies. More important than his incon-
sistencies, however, is his misplaced emphasis. Kennedy is concerned
more with how many bombs fall than why they are falling. He does not
nsk the question why Americans are fighting and dying in Vietnam. He
does not ask the question why the Vletnnmesc have continued to fight
against foreign domination for the past 20 ycars.r_£1r5B 8ElD9F. , _i
Imperial Japan as our allies!, then against Colonial France, and now
against Anti-Communist America. He does not ask the question why
America has set itself up as the policeman of the.world or why Amerie§-
has opposed itself to revolutions all over the world. Robert Kennedy,
does not ask these questions hecnuse'he cannot or will _
simplistic assumptions concerning the world with which libersls _
delude themselves. To the "liberal" the world is composed of "good '
guys" and "bad guys". Just like in the westerns, the bad guys" and
the "good guys" can be told apart by the huts they "ea

Visit of Senator Robert Kennedy ';
Ypsilanti, MichiganOctober 29, 1966 '
A confidential source, who has furnished reliable
information in the past, advised on Qctober 28, 1966, that a
group at the University of Michigan U-M!, Ann Arbor, Michigan,
this date, formulated plans to demonstrate against Senator _
____R be't Ke n~d- at Eastern M hi a Un' e 'it EMU Y silanti M¬chigan,noh october 29, l9gg. g n Iv rs Y !' R '
The source noted that Kennedy's intention to visit
EMU, Ypsilanti, on behalf-of Congressman Wes Vivian of Ann Arbor,
Michigan, was announced on October 27, 1966. The source advisedthat groups engaged in ?iet-Nam protest activities at the U-M _ _;
have stated their disenchantment with Congressman Vivian be- l
cause he has not taken a strong stand against the.Viet-Nam war.
They have developed a "Write-In" peace candidate for the office
weld by Vivian. These groups, he said, recognize that the
rates their "Write-In" candidate will draw may be sufficient
.t defeat Vivian. '
The demonstration was promoted on the campus of the
U-5 through the "Injormation Table" oi the Yopng Socialists_ .
_Alljghce §YSA! on the UM campus, October 28, l966,'and anannouneéent located there refers interested persons to contactone Janes92Wa1ters, ¥Q£§g§_§;£9eth_Ann Arbor, from whose .

'Eith'YSA are supp rting her candidacy, despite the fact that
such individuals are critical of her for not completely disavowing
the Democratic Party. They criticized her, according to this
source, for "walking the fence" and working for the "Anti-War"
vote of_all parties. _
The source said he is certain Walters, referred to
above;'is-not associated with YSA, but is simply the rallying
point for participating demonstrators. He said YSA is but oneof several related groups associated in this "Peace.Candidate"
campaign. _
'The source advised he had no information as to the
expected number of participants or to the exact activity planned
for_this demonstration other than picksting. He noted that the
YSA announrement for this demonstration at Ypsilanti-scheduled
a time of 2:30 PM, October 29, 1966. The source noted that this
time isin contradiction to campaign material of Congressman
Vivian, uhich material announces Senator Kennedy's appearance
at EMU for 9:15 to 10:00 AM, October 29, 1966. '

The Nay, 1960, issue of the "Young Socialist", YS!, 7-
p-;a 1, column 3, disclosed that during April 15-17, 1960, a '
national organization entitled "The Young Socialist Alliance"
YSA! was established at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The issue
stated that this organization was formed by the nationwide -
;.;porter clubs of the publication Y8.
The above issue, page 6, set forth the founding
declaration oi YSA, This declaration stated that use YSArecognizes the Socialist Workers Party SW?! as thélonly existing
political leadership on class struggle principles, and that the ~
suaporters of the YS have come into basic political solidarity
W11; the SW? on the principles of revolutionary socialism.
' A source advised on May 23, 1966, that the original YSA
was an organization formed during October, 1957, in New York City
by youth of various left socialist tendencies, particularly
neno-rs and followers of the SHP. The leaders of thf§_group were
+'. guiding forces in the establishment of the national organization
The source further advised on may 23, 1966, that the
;I. IS dominated and controlled on a national basis by the SWP
;.:ough having SWP members comprise exclusively the National
Ssecutive Committee NBC!. The YSA, in reality, is the youth and
zxsining section for the SWP and the main source of new SWP '

A United Press International news item on I2 1 66 -4
reported that Senator Robert F. Kenneth had stated on December 1st __ "
that he is opposed to FBI or Secret Service Agents joining organizations,
such as the John Birch Society because oi their "special responsibilities
in the field of national security. " The story stated that Kennedy,-"in
discussing "extremism in America" in a booklet published by the _
American Jewish Committee, stated he did not "think it wise to allow
members of any extremist group"t0 serve _in any security forces. '
The Director stated in this regard, "B any inquiry,
indicate the Senator has no basis for mentioning FBI as no FBI Agents
belong to Birch Society. H. " "Also write American Jewish Committee
and tell them they might have checked with FBI first as no Agents
belong to John Birch Society. I-I. " _
ll: is to be noted inquiries from United Press International
and Associated Press were received by your Mr. Wick's! office on the
afternoon of 12-1-66 concerning this matter. Both were advised in
accordance with the Director's instructions. _ ' "
The booklet mentioned in this news report is entitle ,
"Extremism in America Today, " and it was issued by the American
Jewish Committee, 165 East 56th Street, New York City. The New

-Li. L Jones to Wick memo
' RE: Senator Robert F. Kenneth
which was conducted on the program "Opinion in the Capital, " a V
production of station WTTG, Washington, D. C. Additional written questions
were submitted to the three participants at a. later date and these questions I
were answered independently by them. The reference by Mr. Kennedy to y .
the FBI was made in reply to the following question on page 22 of the booklet; _
3 "Q-:estion: It has been suggested that there has been considerable penetrationiof police agencies by the John Birch Society and other right-wing extremistiorganmations. -.'ould you permit a member of an extremist group to serve .
,on the police force? How about the FBI or the Secret Service? " -
"Senator Kenneth: I think we should be extremely cautious about automatically
denying any individual a job merely because he belongs to a particular
organization. However, the John Birch Society has been clearly identified
with some positions which would make it very unlikely that any individual
policeman who agreed with them would be able to enforce the law fairly and
equally for all citizens. Therefore, I would not absolutely bar members
of the Birch Society from serving on a police force; but I would see that a
special effort was made to see that the personal views _of each applicant
aresuch that he will be able to enforce the laws fairly. I believe the
questions of the FBI and Secret Service are a different matter. These
agencies have special responsibilities in the field of national security,
and from my personal experience with them, it does not seem to me to be-
wise to allow members of any extremist group to'serve on them. "
OBSERVATIONS:
R is not known whether this question was submitted to
Keztnedy on the television program of 5-15-$ or in written form at a later
date; and, therefore, it is not known who was responsible for preparing
the question. In any event, the question is simply a hypothetical inquiry,92 contrasting the FBI as the foremost Federal investigative agency with the
I Ilocal police, and there is no inference of Birohiteaotivities on the pm
of FBI Agents. Apparently Mr. Kennedy mentioned the FBI ;in his answer
only because of the specific reference to it in the question. _
In view of the t."_..I-"I! content of this question, it is " _
believed consideration should be given to not writing a letter to the American:
Jewish Committee concerning this matter. __- - _
RQZCOMMENDQTION: =-. '
I "That the Director may wish to consider not writing the --
American Jewish Committee regarding ihis matter.

DATED MARCH 18, 19:52, AMENDDIG ;. . DEPARTMENTAL ORDER #3343 V =DA1-En mace 15, 1940 E _
. "*"-A» . _,
Order; that the only reason behind the issuance of this Order is to bring" up to date Departmental records to clearly reect this policy. It spears
that in 1940 Attorney General Jackson issued an Order, which was in _
existence for only a short time, to the eiiect tint wiretapping must not -
be done. This Order, although not the policy for many years, was never
formally rescinded in writing by the Department in its records. In order
to prevent any possible reference to this Order in connection with the new A
wire tap legislation and the Attorney General's testimony on the Hill, the _Department, in reviewing its records, decided to clearly enunciate the _
Orc2er#263-62wasdrawnup. v - _- . _ - ' '
ACTION: ' D Q " ' A -
' There appears to be no action to be taken by the Bureau concerning '
Departmental Order #263-62. Our policy and manuals issued to our Special-. Agent personnel are clear. However, it is believed desirable that a letter _
be sent to the Attorney General advising him that the Bureau's policy and
manuals specically conform with this enunciated policy. . Attached 18 it '_proposed letter to the Attorney General. - " - - - _
