In line with the Director's approval, the Attorney General wascontacted this morning, July 7, 1961, relative to his observati
on as to the possibility of utilizing "electronic devices" in organized crime investigations.
It was pointed out to the Attorney General that we had taken actionwit.-. regard to the use of microphone surveillances in these cases and while:2.-ay represented an expensive investigative step, we were nevertheless utilizing:12;-:-. in all instances where this was technically feasible and where valuable .inforrnation might be expected. The strong objections to the utilization of .. -telephone taps as contrasted to microphone surveillances was stressed. TheAttorney General stated he recognized the reasons why telephone taps should -be restricted to national-defense-type cases and he was pleased we had beeni:.=:::._;; microphone surveillances where these objections do not apply wherever_ -possible in organized crime matters. . -
~ -- a " The Attorney General noted that he had approved several technicalsu:-ve.lEances in connection with security-type investigations since he tookoifice, but that he had not kept any record and didn't really know what he had -A - -approved and what surveillances were currently in operation. He said that forhis own infor:r.s.tion he would like to see a list of the technical surveillances' -now operation. He added that this could be brought over to him personally tand that he would look it over and immediately return it because he realized. the in-.port2.nce of having these records n:.. intained under the special security ..conditions which only the FBI had.

In connection with the use oi microphonesurveillances it is frequently necessary to lease a special telephonein order to monitor such a surveilla:-.ce. These si-nationsoccur when it is impossible to locate a secure monitoring pointin the iinrnediate vicinity of the premises covered by the microphone.Even though a special telephone line is utilized, this activity in 92no way involves any interception oi telephonic communications andis not a telephone tap. , '
In the New York City area the telephone companyyears insisted that a letter be iurnisl-zed to the telephoneeach occasion when a special telephone line is leased bythe FBI. It is recguirerl that snob. a lease arrangement be with theapproval oi the .4-.::orney General. In the past we have restrictedthe utilization of leased ii.-.es in l92"ew Y.-ork City to situations involvingtelephone taps, all oi which have been approved by the Attorney General.......~= = over the
ccrnpany on
We have not previously used lemon lines in connectionwith mcrcphone surveillances because of certain tecluiical difficulties=.=.=':..icli existed in New York City. These technical difficulties have; 'however, now been overcome.

to him and its two enclosures available to the press--Senator Robert F. Kennedy
issued a statement claiming that "apparently" I had been "misinformed."
_ __ On the afternoon of December ll, 1966, the Bureau issued a pressrelease pointing out that during Robert F.51{enne<_iy's tenure as Attorney General
in 1961-64, the FBl's use of micr'oph5ne aiid_wiretap surveillances was known
to and approved by him. A copy oi the December 11, 1966, press release is
enclosed, together with the three documents which were released to the press
as enclosures to it. These three documents are memoranda from former
Assistant Director C. A. Evans to former Assistant to the Director A. H.
Belmont dated July 7, 1961, and August 17, 1961, and a copy of the previously
mentioned communication dated August 17, -1961, signed by Robert F. Kennedy.

Sheldon Cohen, Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service IRS!,
'-'.I;.-Z me at 6:15 p. m., 12/ 13/66. He stated he wanted to tell me that he was
'20;-npietely sympathetic with the FBI's position in the feud with Bobby Kennedy.
Cohen stated he hoped that we won the battle and frankly he felt we were far
_-ead at this stage of the game. -.
ICohen advised that he almost did the same thing a year ago that
3.2;-. Hoover has now done, i. e. , to blast Bobby Kennedy because of his lying.
?'..- said that the only thing that held him back was the fact that he was not
_Cornmiss;2'a: oi IRS at the time Kennedy was Attorney General. "He said also
that he does not have access to the considerable proof that Mr. Hoover has
Iagainst Kennedy. ' _
Cohen told me that the Kennedy statements were "unconscionable
.-.'e stated that the American public obviously will realize that Kennedy is lying.

Ed Morgan, former Inspector, called me this morning and said he Q
wanted to pass along a little information which he thought might be helpful to ~92_
the Bureau in connection with the present controversy with Robert F. Kennedy, -Q
former Attorney General, concerning his knowledge about such installations ,throughout the field by the FBI. Morgan said he just returned from a West Coasttrip where he was representing a group of individuals in connection with a 92§
television station. He said one oi the individuals involved was Bill Simon, formeig,
SAC at I.-os Angeles. He stated that Simon was taking him, Morgan, for a ridearound hos Angeles and during the ride Simon mentioned in his conversation the
"extreme personal interest Kennedy would take in connection with FBI investigati ' u_
activities and would go into all techniques whenever he visited a field office. " He *,.;_,
went.on to relate that Simon also stated that when Kennedy visited Los Angeles
he went into considerable detail about various investigative techniques and w
fully briefed concerning them. i '-
I .l_ pa-IMorgan said the conversation with Simon preceded the current news& _publicity about the use of microphones by the FBI and Kennedy's knowledge k
concerning such techniques. Morgan said he was aware that the publicity indic ed
Kennedy visited New York and Chicago but that we might want to check Los Angeles
and possibly other places where Kennedy visited. I expressed appreciation to
Morgan for his calling and made no further comment. ' .

Hoover ' H.
U. s Sen. Robert Kennedy tn-.92'. v.92 is
an ambitious mill. extremely so. and while
be may say otherwise, Bobby appears to be
working toqnrd the Democratic presidential
nomination. if not in 1568. at least in 1972.
But ambition is no valid excuse for forget-
fulness, and it would appear the brother of
iorrner President John F. Kennedy is at
least guilty oi that.
_ Du Dec. Ii.-7. Edgar Hoover. director of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, labelcd...§_ .
as: absolutely inconceivable" a statement
made by Kennedy the day before that im-
plied Hoover had been misinformed about
Kennedy's knowledge of the use of electronic
listening devices by the FBI in the 1951-til
period. Kennedy was U. S. Attorney Gen-
eral in that period. '
Hoover pointed out that official records
oI_lhe i-BI not only reect discussions oe-
tween Kennedy and an FBI employe about
the I-BI's use of microphone surveillanees,
but also contain documents. including some
bearing Kennedy's signature or initials,
showing that the FBI: use of mike and wire-
tap surveillance; was known to and ap-
proved by Kennedy.
'_lhe FBI director is a rnan whom history is
due to list as one of our great Americans.
Aiveternn in his vital and sensitive job, he
isnot. given to rash statements. The state-
ment he has made about the former Attor-
ney General is a serious one. and with
Iloovers vast legal background it is certain
he has sufficient evidence to substantiate it.
Inj fact. records of communications between
Kennedy and FBI personnel are available
and. as iioover has said, bear the initials
or' name of Sen. Kennedy in regard to wire-
tap activity.
It would seem foolish for the Senator to
continue to deny he knows anything about
the 1951-til eavesdropping trend, some in-
stances of which could have involved his
campaign to "get the goods" on Teantster'
Union President James Hoita with whom heh
has a long-standing feud. _.1 useIt could be Kennedy has forgotten his' sclivity in on.-. new as Attorney General.
But in case his memory hasslipped, the -
FBI has ample documentation to refresh it
and in this case it would appear Hoover is M'-
thé man who is sitting in the driver: seat,
and that Kennedy did have a hand in elec- ';
ironic eavesdropping activities by the FBI.
The term "untouchable" often is used to
refer to some indiviclual whose standing in -
a;societ_v is so firm that he cannot be '-
rcnehed by any ltincl of a lure or bribe. By
their daily behavior. such people improve 5
rather than detract from their reputations..-
If such an individual exists and, t.hanlr- '.
fully, our country has many of them at all 1'
levels, J. Edgar Hoover truly rnerils.th_e 3roleas an "untouchable." ' ' - -- l-_-
What lure'o'r bribe could possihlyttouch-'21this man?- - ' . . . 5'-I;
Now in his ills, he has"devotcd his life -'
1°fbi15idiI15,' B great agency which is a shin- _
ing tribute to his high standards and dediea- '.
tion for excellence and justice. He has never :7
milrricd. His family has been the FBI, Hg
stands for r.o shoddiness by. his fellow work-- Y
ers and less than topflight -agents never, '-
rernain on the job for long, t
i-foover has received virtually every honor -"if
that can come to a great" citizen. He is
eligible to retire at full pay _at any_time, but .;he. remains to try every daywto 1-nalre his-"ageney even better. .-_ -5-. . '
Yes, J. Edgar I-Ioover'i's truly an."
touchable" and to the eat'credit of Amer . . 5* . - 1-.168, he IS one oi many that our nation has .2
produced. ll"-. _ -

' The subject of eavesdropping"by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
ared this month into a public feud
between FBI director J. Edgar Hoov-
er and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, the
former Attorney General of the Unit-
ed States and Mr. Hoover's former
boss. It's on aid subject, but what has
puzzled us is Senator Kennedys pre-
tense at ignorance that such practice
existed while he headed the Dept. of
Justice. ' . '
Since the subject has come up
again, the FBI has reieased to the"
press this newspaper included! oiii-
cini documents to show that Mr. Ken-
nedy did. indeed, know about what
the bureau terms microphone sur-
veillances and, moreover, he ap-proved the practice. i ' '
Among the documents is a l|'iCii'i-
oranrium from the FBI dated Aug.
17, 1561, asking the then-attorney
ge:".erai's permission to use leased ic-
lepizone lines in connection with such
surveiiianees. The memo read: ii we
are permitted to use the leased tele-
phone lines as an adjunct to our mi-
cro;>r.one surveilla-aces, this type of
coverage can be materially extended
'both in security and major criminal
cases. Accordingly, your approval oi

ament is requested . . " At the bottom -
is typed the word "approved," £ol- -
lowed by Mr. Kennedy's signature. °
Mr. iiiennedy, during the controver-
sy, has used one Courtney A. Evans as _
his back-up man. Mr. Evans, a retired '~
FBI special agent, was the assistant '
director in charge of the division in-
vestigating organized crime and rack- .1
eteering during Mr. Kennedy's term .-
as attorney general and he served a ;
liaison between the FBI and Mr. Ken- ;
nedy.
Well, among the documents £ur- ._
nished by the I-BI is a memorandum j
from ivir. Flvnns, dated Aug. 1?, 1961, J
on the suhject of microphone sur- E
veiilnnccs in which he discusses the -
procedure of obtaining leased tele- _
phone lines and concludes with this
sentence: The Attorney General ap- :
proved the proposed procedure in this ;
regard and person-ally signed the at- _ i
tached memorandum evidencing such ;=
approval. The "attached mernoran- ;
durn is the one aforementioned,
signed by Mr. Kennedy. - '
lt'is apparent that since l92-IrJ{enne- ;,
dy lei: the Cabinet to become a sena-
tor he has changed his attitude on 3;-1
eavesdropping as~a method to ght 5_";
crime. It is apparent, too, that
memory is short. 1;} . r--.

federal government is considering
storing computerized dossiers on
individual citizens, the fear is too
overpowering tor the [acts before
us. What we know is that approxi-
mately foui cases of eavesdropping
have been revealed. The FBI
claims they were directed against
organized crime or in the interest
oi national security. Unfortunately,
the FBI is in no position to docu-
ment its nieiertion and neither can
critics prove their fears.
The qiiestioru which need to ho
asked in the stalemated debate
concern the legitimate uses, it any, -
of hidden electronic ears. 1'

try reached a sufficient level oi
power and danger to warrant per-1
haps some kind of judicially and
judiciously controlled use of such
electronic gear? If so, what are-

giiards that would protect not only-
individual privacy from "unrea-
sonable" searches but also insure
-the security oi the action? - :_

4* sion is expected to recommend
to President Johnson early next
year a system whereiiy a federal
investigative agency could present
its case for installation of listening
units to a federal judge, who would
determine the justification oi the
request and insure that any infor-
mation interecpted in such a ivay'
would not nd its way directly or
indirectly into a coiirtroorn. "
While I value my Constitutional
rigl-its as highly as the next person
and consider myself no sel£-ap-
pn;i.:ed defender of J. Edgar Hoo-
ver, 1 am perstiaded that some such

Lt'tho time oi my contact with ur. REWEAN, it _ -
appeared that he was quite embarrassed and with the above ; >1
' in mind, I told his that the entire editorial seemed so r
cat of character that in my own mind I qpestioncd whether
he had actually written it. His only response was that _
the r:spcasibility was his and that he could not "pass 1
the bash" to seaeoao else. no stated that he was sorry
that the incident had occurred, that he had always admired
and respected all et the Bureau personnel with when he had -
had occasion to ceao in contact and actually felt that the
F31 was about the only real "iriend in court" that the '
Negro community had. Ho continued that it had long been his
personal opinion that Senator KEREDY was not near the iriend
oi the Eogre that he would have everyone believe and that
actually he used then tor his own ends. Hy response at that
point was that as far as I was concerned that was certainly
"a hell oi-a way to shew his admiration and respect." His
only reply was that the damage had been done and all he
could do was apologise. i '
O
Although I did not want to belahor tho'issuo, I
did remind his that this was the second time that he had
printed erroneous information about the Directer_and the
F31 and that I felt he was being most unfair. Ee again
stated that he was sorry and that actually he was nest
cabarrassed ever the-entire situation.
Although Ur. NEWMAN did not at any tine admit that
the editorial had been written by someone else during his
absence ever the holidays, his attitude and reaction in
accepting rcspensbility has convinced no that this was the
case. He never did give the slightest indication who might
have written the article, stating merely that it was his
paper and, consequently, his responsibility. In view of
the developments, no further inquiry is contemplated.

struggle. The image oi Hoover as a "non-politiezil" man who,
stands austerely above partisan battles is n myth. In 1053, when
92 he then Attorney General, Herbert Browne-ii, opened lire on:
iarry Truman's alleged eorldling at Communists, Hoover enthusi-
asiieaiiy supported Bret-.-neiis version. The question arose then,-
as it does to some degree now, as to why he had not resigned,
- ' earlier and publicly proclaimed his knowledge; then. as now, he_
r 92 - hid behind the claim that he was merely a deputy.
_ 1 In the current uproar the vulnerability in Kennedy: ease is92 {that there is some validity in Hoover's depiction oi his secondary.
j I role during the Kennedy time. Some issues being drawn now in;
* volve distinctions without a difference tas between wire-tapping
' and "bu,-;ging"i. Kennedy was undoubtedly more tolerant oi such
.- - intrusions in the early days oi his" regime than in later phases. or[than he would be now; Hoover may have believed he had eon-
- siderabie authorization to carry on this part oi his business as
usual. In their own iashion both men may be oering their sub-
jective versions oi! the tmth. .
- r_ The larger dimensions oi the battle go beyond these fragments
got remembrance. Hoover in tact remains a voice oi political reac-
tion, whose nilme still commands reverence on the rightist fringe.
iienncdy h_a_s steadily emerged as an unorthodox liberal chal-= longer to .l1OOV !l"'$ verities. In that context the impact of thisI clash assumes its real and explosive meaning. Hoover: blast
may have given the signal for a grotesque right-wing drive to

Senator Robert F. Kennedy was interviewed on the "Today"
show this morning.
State of the Union Message last evening
Kennedy was queried concerning various points in the " T The interview concerned principally President Johnson's
President's address such as taxes, economy, social security, anti-ballistic
missiles, welfare programs and the Vietnam situation, among others. .
. a Of particular interest to the Bureau were Kennedy's comments
' concerning the outlawing of wiretapping. He commented that present legisla- W
tion concerning wiretapping is entirely inadequate and that new legislation
should be enacted to insure the protection of the individual. He stated that he ...
favored the outlawing of wiretapping except in national security cases, -
providing any such wiretapping was handled with court approval. He also
added that he would favor wiretapping with court approval, in certain casles
of organized crime, kidnaping, narcotics and other major crimes. ,. '
