Mr. James E. Milnes
1015 Second Avenue
Seattle, Washington 98104
Dear Mr. Milnesz
On the termination of my service as Attorney
General, I want you to know how much I appreciate
the many courtesies you extended to me during the
past four years.
I am particularly grateful for your efforts
and those of the men working with you in the drive
against organized crime. The painstaking investi-
gative work of the Agents under your supervision
and your significant contributions to the many
field and Washington conferences of the Federal
investigative agencies contributed materially to
the success of this effort.
With best wishes for your continued good
health and success.
Sincerely,
,.<-i.r,">,v,fJ.....1]

ARTICLE "KENNEDY TOP-RATED ASJUSTICE BOSS? _.
BY JAMES 5:. CLAYTON, .
"nnssmcrou POST AND rmnas HERALD, a-23-64_ _ . _,__.__ II li-i -.'-:
In connection with captioned article, the Director has asked, "What do we cknow of Clayton?" , -
" The article praises Robert Kenned as one of the top Attorneys General, whc,3E?§~i:|»_.'1 .,~ I I' - Y
will be leaving the Justice Department with a remarkably good record. " It credits_
Kennedy with guiding important legislation through Congress, fighting organized crime, pushing equal rights, and getting from his top aides work of excellence. Clayton men-
Etions, however, that Kennedy has been criticized for being vindictive against his opponents, -' -_; 2..brutal in handling civil rights problems, soft in applying antitrust laws and using his 92power politically. ' " ' ~.'_-/ 5 "
._ __ '7~..'_' iAmong areas in which Kennedy has distinguished himself, according to Q
92! Clayton, is his redirecting the efforts oi the FBI. He states that no other Attorney __'
General has been able ,to "impose his will on Hoover," but that Kennedy could because of
his relationship to the President. -The article states that 4 years ago, "the FBI pooh- »
poohed the existence of a national crime syndicate and used its best agents to chase . ~.__
communists," but that now they are lighting organized crime. Clayton alleges the Justice -95
Department did not get "careful investigative work out of the FBI in civil rights cases, '
in 1960, but now is. Kennedy is also credited with closing Alcatraz, not possible in
previous ears"because Hoover ob'ected. " :35J 92
Clayton criticizes Kennedy for having FBI Agents "bang on doors in the 3* -middle of the night to gather iniormatiFn_a"b'o'ut the steel price increase in l962," and £o192392
using me Justice Department to settle a personal feud with James Hoffa. Kennedy is *;I-"= i
praised for nursing the civil rights bill through Congress and for pushing through bills
broadening FBI jurisdiction. The article notes that me Kennedy-sponsored bill that the 5
FBI be allowedto legally tap wires was defeated. ' , _ I . I 1'1 e A *92_""/égé n2 ,-

hat newspaper advised the Bureau that he and J ames Clayton had tried to convince their
superiors that the paper's support of the Supreme C_ourt in the Mallory Decision was 2?:
wrong. In July, 1961, Clayton called yonr office and requested information on the obtains
.ng of security clearances for a story he wanted to write; Clayton was advised the FBI
ioes not pass on the question of clearances and could not be of help.
In ll-62 in response to Department instructions that all possible

ntei-viewed Clayton and he advised that he had not witnessed a'ny acts of violence at that

The 5-21-63 issue of "The Post" contained an article by Clayton giving
-;-edit to Kenned_v'for mobilizing the FBI against organized crime. The Director noted:

C The captioned article by Clayton is obviously another attempt by the
Department to claim credit for FBI achievements in organized crime and civil rights, at
the same time making a snide attack on Mr. Hoover and the Burean.==for political purposes.

cautiously as far as hi: busi-

lin many quarters that Ken-tedy has used the Juslirn Dc-

sonal Ieud with James R.heirs. Kennedy denies this
but there is some truth to ii.
No other individual has rc-
ccived the kind. of scrutiny
that has been focused on the
leader of the Teamsters.
There has also been some
substantial criticism oi a
few men vt-hose appointments
o the Federal bench wereiecommended by Kennedy.
Some oi his selections have
indeed been bad. But, on bal-
ance, his choices have im-
proved the quality oi theFeila-at fltdlciary. -H THERE IS also a feclint:

Mr. DeLoach: -
Attached is a letter dated 9-3-64
to the Director from Attorney General Roberty Kennedy comme'nding'and f 510
'thé 'm?n"in his section for their work relatingto organized crime. This letter has been 1 .i /'through all the division heads checked on 1 /UV __,--.3 .-
the Director's routing block and was received
today. It apparently has not been acknowledged.
Since the Attorney General has resigned his
- position, it is recommended that this letter
not be acknowledged but that copies of it
be designated to the personnel files of the
"Bureau personnel mentioned in it. If you
agree, please return this for this action.

e ume slowly. It hung over hie-Bast
River like a seagull, then inched across the sky. There
were 15 of them waiting for the plane, the Caroline,
to land at La Guardia Field. They held clipboards andmimeogrqd sheets with schedules and speeches for
R0llCl'l. I-. 'ennedy and they were there because they
were working for him, lint they stood in front of the
terminal in the Saturday afternoon emptiness and they
talked, as they always do, about another Fall.
"Ohio," one of them was saying. I never saw
crowds like that. 9292her| we got to Columbus the last
night we were there, the candidate sat down in the
hotel room and said, Well, this does it. 92Ve've won
Ohio. Hell, it was the first state we lost."
The place I'll always remember is Waterbiiry,"
one of them, with sunglasses, said. "We got there late
and by that time everybody was drunk. Ribicoff was
the only one with legs under him. They had a cop
sted in front of the room at the hotel. Boy this wase of'a lifetime. He was guarding KC1lt'ltE ly.
The liadge was polished and the uniform pressed. The
works. Ilc also was blind from throwing down doubles
while he was waiting. When we got off the elevator
the cop was sound asleep on a chair in front of the
room. The candidate walked up and grabbed him. How
alir you ?' he said. The cop woke up and fell off the
chair. Get him out of lmiii, the candidate said.
lhey all laughed. Then the plane, a white Convair,
dropped down behind the motels on the parkway. It
landed on a ninway on the far side of the field, came
out from behind a hangar and taxied up to the gate.An aluminum staircase dropped out of the side of the 4 ', , xplane and Robert Kennedy came out of the door and <92_-

left hand was stuck into the jacket pocket. The wind
blew at his uneonilied hair.
"How nlir you P" he said to a man who had come
up to the steps.
Kennedy walked through them, head down, listen-
ing while an aid tnld him something, and he went out
and got into a white convertible, which was parked
at the curls in the head of a motorcade. He was going
to Manhattan. to try and get people to vote for him
so he could be a United States Senator, and the people
getting into the cars were working for hiin so he could

h'l'lIBl-H look at him. They-did not watch kcnnay.
He stood on the stage with his head down and now
the silver drops on his eyelashes had turned to wet
streaks on cheeks. When the question was finished,
Kennedy started to say something and then he lapsed
into silence and now everybody could see that he was
having trouble. Finally Kennedy said, ". . . Ah, just a
minute please. '
2; head went down. Ills right foot moved back
and forth on the wooden floor. His hand kept running
through his hair, and his eyes crinkled and his face
showed more of the wetness. liis wife, sitting in a
front row, stiffened and leaned forward. Kennedys do
not cry, they say. But Kcnnedys are human and ntaybe
this one has held himself together for too long, and
has used too much of his old Irish stand-up guts
hiaie now he rates what his emotions demand. The
people in the hall seemed to he saying this, because they
were silent and they were moved as they watched him
stand and live through November again. _
Finally, the head came up and he went on as he
had before. But it was a night in this campaign that
cannot be forgotten liccause what happened is so much
a part of him. _
But then there are other times when it is all dif-
ferent. The name of his brother is used casually and
continually in his campaign and there are no tears,
611i'y"rn'ehtions. .-92ud the crowds come and they mob
him because of the hame and the kids show up and
squeal for the youth the name represents, and he never
would get all this adulation himself because he simply
is not that exciting personally. The hair is uncombed
and it blows and the finger points and the voice is the
same. So are, in many spots. the words. Rut it is a
different music this time. This is a Kennedy, but a
Kennedy Without the tremendous excitement the other
one had. This one comes with music of his own, a
lower music than the brother's. Maybe a harder music,
too. He cannot generate the drive that the other one
had in his personal music. And because of this, they
can fight him a little bit more. He uses the brother's
name without tears and without that overpowering
music and they say, who the hell is this guy coming
around here, as if he had divine right, and taking over
this state on his brother's name? 92Vho is this guy
who sat in the back of a black limousine and drove
through 92Vasliingt0n with a big dog in the front next to-
thc chauffeur and him, at 36, on the phone in the back
giving orders to half of the country? Who is he, this
rich man's sou who happened to be the brother of a
President and now wants everything in sight because
of it? 92-Vho is be to be coming in here just because
Lyndon Johnson didn't make him Vice-President? 92Vli0
is he and what the hell do you call what he is trying
on AA} .
But there is another way. People see him. They
say, when you look at him their way, that this is a guy
who is so inexperienced that he only lived through a
Presidency with his brother, a Presidency that included
the Cuban missile threat and Mississippi and, above
anything, an assassination. They say that Lyndon john-
son, right after the assassination, wanted Bobby Ken-
-IZ1I _-ii-a-iy-in the phone. He didn't just call to oodbule-hill.
I-le called him for advice. Should he he sworn in as
President right there in Dallas or he Ii-it and
ootne back to Washington. And Bobb Kennggly, in his
grief, advised him what to do. And E say, what!
the matter with having a man like this in New Yorlt?
Who the hell else do we have around here? 92Vhere is _
there Democrat in the whole state worth running for
an office as big as Senator? Where is there one? There
isn't. There is nothing around here. This is a state
filled with the worst set of Democratic politicians we've
ever seen. They are little lawyers who join a neighbor-
homl club and hem to make at-score through mlitiea!
connections, and they spend their lives chasing ain-
bulanccs or smart deals and they are all worth nothing.
Why shouldn't we have a man like Bobby Kennedy
around here? '
But no matter which way they say it, they say it
because of his connection with his brother. It is the
whole thing about Bobby Kennedy's life so far, this
connection with his brother, and it is one of the things
that make him complex and this campaign against
Senator Kenneth Kt-ating one of the biggest New York
ever has had. it is the name that does it.
ora was one morning when Kennedy sat on the
couch in the living room of suite llE of the Carlyle
llotel and he was asked about this shadow of his
brother. '
"You even have the same mannerisms, he was
told. The hand in the pocket, the finger pointing.
Did you always have these mannerisms P"
He ?tll59292't'lLtl very slowly. "Our relationship was
so natural, these kinds oi things never occurred to me.
9292'e worked together, which is something brothers
don't do. We grew up together and some of what he
was mbbed of 1' on me and some of what I was rubbed
off on him. For me to change any of myself now would..._...._-.t; _ _ y." _ __A

The sleeves oi his rumpled white shirt were rolled
§|I:"H'|¬oollar was open. This great doom which so
many of the Irish live by and -have in their faces
made him look gaunt. But the bare arms, folded in
mm of him, were thick. Vcnr thick for 1 aw of his
size. And the hair was bleached from summer sun.
"1 mention my brother when I talk," he was
ying, "to; s simple reason. President John F. Ken-
ngdy was my brother. But President John F- Ktidy
was also the President of the United States and I erg
in that government. If I wasn't a part of that govern-ment for over three and a half years,_ I wouldn't be
running at all. Therefore, I mention it. If I wasn't
able to produce as Attorney General, or to _atl_v1s_e
the President on Cuba or advise him on Mississippi,
I wouldn't have been a part of that government even
if my brother was running it. So it is my record and
I talk of it. But I don't talk of him as my brother for
campaign purposes. You see the difference."

- And, a day or so later, Robert Kennedy. sitting in
this white campaign convertible, pulled up at the ooih
ner of 116th Street and Lexington Avenue and crawled
through the crowd to a stage which had been set up on
the sidewalk. The mob clogged the street. They pushed
against the stores with their dresses hanging outside,
iith Street is the Urchard Street of East I-iariem,
and they jibbered in Puerto Rican and shrielted when
they saw him get on the stage. '
A laid running down the street with a big black
trunk he had just stolen stopped, put the trunk down,
and then got up on it so he could see better.
"Hey, there: a lot of cops around here, he was
told. "Theyll catch you and put your behind in jail."
The black face turned around. "Que?" he said.
You stole the trunk and the cops are going to
get you ?" --r . .
The face screwed into puzalement. No com-
prcndo," he said. t , ~ .
T-lien he turned around and started to cheer for
Kennedy. A guy with us bent over and grabbed the
tmnl: by one of its handles and started to pull it. The
kid on the trunk turned around. "Hey, you sontona-
bcetch, get your hands off my trunk."
And all around him, throughout the crowd, there
was hop and piclzpocl-:-.-ts and honest werl.-ing people
and women with babies and smart people and dumb
people and people with class and people who are bums,
and they had votes. And the art of asking for votes
from a crowd like this is pandering. Any of these
political science textbook w'ords are ridiculous here.
I campaigned here with my brother in 1960,
Robert Kennedy said. "You were the backbone of his
su rt. I come here, as n_1y brother did before me, to _asE ior"you_r snpportyagatn. _ "----.g;_,_=.

iris for Robert Kennedytoholdup a picture of
his brother. ' -
The people roared and they held up their beer
cans and their wine bottles in paper bags. and the
I-omen, crying, held their babies 'and every word Ken-
dy said after that was cheered. _ _
It was not a one-shot thing, this use of the name.
He said it at every stop that day. To the Puerto Ricans
hanging from windows in East Harlem and to the
l92legr0ec_s lined up on Seventh Avenue in front oi the
Hotel Theresa. There was no mistake about it.
And then, 1 few days later, they were sitting
around Kenneth Keating-s campaign headquarters and
one of them said, I hear she'll be starting in for him
next wcelt. 'A little tea, a few speeches. They must
think they're behind." a ,
"lNho is she?" we aslted. '
Jacqueline Kennedy, he said. _.
"You got to be kidding. I _
You got to be -naive, he said. '
This would be,'b£ course, the ultimate eitort in
draping a campaign with tawdriness. But the lady, for
past performances, has a large open ticket through
life and if she is to campaign for Bobby, then nothing
can be said against it. She already has had _her chil-
dri pose with Bobby for a magazine cover as an aid
to his campaign.
Later, in the bar at Toots Shor's, Bill O'Dwyer
came walking through and the idea of somebody being
puzzled by this made him snort. '
- 92Vhat's the matter with you ?" he said. "You've
been around the Irish politician. You know what you
do to win, don't you? 92Vear a black suit and tie and
stand on the grave and cry and then make speeches.
Because of all this, the sorrowful memory of his
brother and the practical memory of his brother and
the constant identification with his brother, there has
Ii-1| 92---pt!"-'i!eesI"l'ha2e around ilobert Kennedy himself vs,"
times it is hard to see through it. - *-l92.__ .
One way to see through that haze is to talk to
those_ who know him well. Jim, l92icShane, who amt?
to walk these streets as a first-grade detective and now
is the chief United States Marshal, came into George
O'l92'eiII's place, the Coach Room. right outside of La
Guardia Field, and he had a oouple of beers and talked
about Kennedy. _ .
All I can tell you about him is something a street
guy would understand," McShane said. Now you talte
the McClellan Committee. He was chief counsel for it
and I worked as an investigator. When any committee
is finished in Washington, the counsel says to the in-
vestigators thanks, good luck, and use my name as a
reference anytime. .92'ot Bobby Kennedy. He stayed
in that of lice until he had every one of us placed. Thero
were of us. llc didn't leave until the last man was
working. I know. I was the last man. 92Vhat I'm tellingyou is that this is a guy whoean think abqut ; man's

"Uh huh, George O'Neill said. A
"Now i'm in London with this Soblen, McShane
said. "You know all about that. I louscd up the whole
thing. I'm supposed to be bringing him back here as
a spy and I go to sleep on the job and he sticks a knife
in himself on the plane. At any rate, we land in Lon-
don and the British authorities take him over and now
l'm at the bottom of the barrel. I put a call in to Bobby.
'Yon s.o.b.,' he says, what did you do, tell him
to stab himself and pick London on purpose? We'll
never get him out of there. He was laughing. This
was the worst goof of"n1y life and the guy is laughing
about it over the phone. You see what he was doing,
he wanted to let me know right away that it was all

my wife hearing all these reports about a. stabbing and
use in trouble. So what does he say. I-Ie says, '1 spoke

for you? You're stuck in London and you're worried

' Kennedy and thats all I can tell you about him, because
that's all he is like." _
You mean the man stands up for you a little bit,
George O'Neill said.
He goes to the wall for you," Jimmy MeShpne
Yiien, a day or so later, during one oi those snatches
in a campaign when there is a little time for talk,
Kennedy was sitting in the back of a car going through
Manhattan and he talked a little about himself. _
"I'm supposed to be ruthless and seeking a power
base here and all that," he was saying. "I don't know.
I'm just interested in polities as a way of getting elected
to office. I'rn not interested in politics for the power
oi it. I'd like to work for the government. If I don't
want to work I suppose I could live off my lather.
Maybe that's what they want me to do. Live off my
father." . .
It was a primitive kind of a line. People very rarely
use lines like that. But Kennedy uses them all the time.
He likes to eliminate phrases and get to the hard fact.
If there is one reputation he brings with him which
is unaniniotisiy accepted, it is the reputation he has
for telling the truth, and telling it in a few words. They
have accused Kennedy in 9292ashington of using his
power to run roughshod over the Bill of Rights, to
push people around and generally be the littlc-brother-
getting-too-big. But nobody has ever said Bobby Ken-
nedy does not give you the right count when he talkito you. '
" You can see that when he tall-is about himself being
in New York. If I'm going to be judged for tl';q_Qgit_§gi-_.-, _.__.__ r _ L e____ ._'7-liey say I was personally responsible for having - _-. - if I 'ni going to bejudgeii for the

There was no plea and no snide remark about it.
just a guy stating facts. And then, when he warms tip,
he begins to use facts and he sticks by them closely
and they tumble out of him and the finger begins to
jab and there is a little fire in the blue eyes and you
can see where his reputation as a lighter comes from.

Washington know that. So how ean_ any one here say
thatlordered that? 7
Then, from this quickness and finger pointing, he
can relax and smile a little and tall: about things you
thought he was a Puritan about. Bobby Kennedy hates,
ey always said, and this is why he was the mostItlifective Attorney General against organised crime
that weve' ever had. - t --
But there was one day, over a cup of coffee, when
Bobby talked about Joey Gallo, the Brooklyn gangster
who was sure he was really Richard Widtnarlt.
"He came into my office one day, and said some-
thing about it being a nice place to hold a crap game.
Then he said he had considerable inuence in Brooklyn
and he would like tor help my brother and me with the
eampaign. I said,"lf you really ---ant to help us, you
can tell everybody that you are voting for Nixon. Then
he said that if we ever needed anything done or if
somebody was bothering us, he'd be glad to take care
of it. I told him, no thank 3'9"» I didn't have any need
to have somebody murdered this year."
I-le laughed and showed a lightness that was not
supposed to be there. '
So now he is in New York, this one with a sad
face, and his hand is out and he runs for office and his
campaign is confusing because people still think of his
brother so much. But he has not been beaten off sum-_
rnarily and if he is going to be beaten at all it is_not
going to be by much. He is the. only one who ever
could have come around here as he has.
"He has a pretty good name goinglor him, Bob

NW YORK TIHES ARTICLE, 7/18/65, Ir. Ichndrews
CONCERNING ORGANIZED CRIHB
On the morning of 7/22/65, Assistant Director Gale'andRi talked ,
with Section Chief William Hundley of the Organized Crime-Section of '
the Department, in my office, with_reference to the NY Times article of To
7/l8/65 which makes false and vicious statements concerning the Bureau's activities in the field of organized crime. " 95 - E
E.92--92
I outlined to Hr. Hundley the sustained, vigorous_campaign which f. _u» .we'have conducted against elements of organized crime, and particularly ~= H
La Cosa Nostra, looking toward a breakdown in thé discipline,.efficiencY : in
and control of La Cosa Nostra, so that we could infiltrate it and _ {.I;ultimately destroy it. I pointed out that this has beena sustained, _ gjIhard campaign, and that we are being successful, as shown by the results V {,1
£-so far against top men of La Cosa Nostra and the results in local . qj p,
.-,_'. communities throughout the country, such as Chicago and Youngstown, biwhere we have-provided information permitting local authorities to take _,
action. ' ~ l
|0rI told Hr Hundley that, in the face of the terrific effort we 2 _have put into this work, an article such as that in the NY Times, and ' ..
the subsequent interview with the press by the Attorney General, are
win effect a."knife in the back" to the FBI, and I wanted him to know tha
ithe Director and all of us are outraged by this. bi
, I referred to the Times article statement that a young Justice*Department.lawyer stated the FBI stopped sending information on the
92Bobby Baker case and, by inference, on organized crime to the Department
[immediately upon the death of President Kennedy. I stated thislwas gs
fabsolutely false, and I asked Mr. Hundley if he knew who this lawyer was. '
Hundley said he did not know. He said he had talked to reporter Graham, Ff
»as Graham wanted to do an article on the Internal Revenue;Service '55difficulties before the Long Committee, and that his conversation had s. as
i lti s Hundle said
_knew nothing about the Bobby Baker investigation, and when Graham asked 1} gabout this investigation he so advised Graham and told him it had nothing lrg
to do with organized crime. He did not know whether Graham had talked Ki!to someone else on the Baker investigation. He said he asked Grahau_}£6§p ii;
Q Q he wanted to talk to other membersof his section, andhdrahaa said itkan iiiI was not necessary. -~ *- _;~-/ /1 792q__ f TmBciH§;g'!_- I ',-: 51' L?-r.¥..:j £104;-*a~..t$¬e2:¬:éz: ="L~B1»--<=~'I.a _,»es G-cfx - .39 /"U15 -3 iii *3 - ppw , 65 191 Auc 5 was Q

P the fight against organized crime, following the death of President I
A Kennedy, as far as the FBI was concerned, or that there had been any z
A diminution in reports to the Organized Crime Section from the FBI. Hea
Q made it very clear that he had not made such statements to Graham.
$Hundley said he knew that Graham had talked to Ron Goldfarb who
used to be an attorney in the Organized Crime Section But Ieft the
Department to work on the senatorial campaign of Bobby Kennedy, and he
noted that Goldfarb, through his previous employment, had probably talkedito other attorneys in the artmen . Hundley d d not actually put the.1 finger an Goldgarb. i kw» --@h-I? . _ %
. - I then discussed the Attorney eneral's pres onference with . _
~Joe Mohbat, of the Associated Press, n 7/20/65, and said that the '
IAP dispatch on this interview certainly was misleading and left the ' '
impression with us that we were being knifed in the back. I pointed
outthat the whole tenor of the interview was that the FBI had not beenin the organized crime field until Bobbylnnedydrove us into it, and
.after he left the FBI ceased its activity until AG Katzenbach renewed
the pressure, and that the extent of activity in the organized crime
Hinvestigative field was, in effect, how much pressure the AG applied.}I reiterated that the FBI had never let up; that the AG had indicated we
vhad to use hundreds of agents on the assassination,_and this was true,
abut it did not affect our drive on organized crime. '
The AG further indicated jealousy existed in the various agencies,
92 and specifically mentioned the FBI. I pointed out the extent of our
cooperation with other agencies and with local authorities, and againFpinpointed such places as Chicago and Youngstown to show this. I men-
92tioned that the Department had indicated that 60% of the convictions int were the result of IRS cases, and advised that, as a
matter of fact, many of these cases were the result of information we had
Tfurnished IRS. I pointed out the extent of our dissemination to other
*agencies. I pointed out again that our continuous campaign is aimed at
,the structure of La Cosa Nostra and the eventual wrecking of this organize
gition. Mr. Hundley said he was aware of this. He said the figure of t
6O% was used in an effort to get IRS out of the trouble it was in with
;the Long Committee. -noorganized crime
Hr. Hundley said that he was present during the Attorney Generalls
conference with Mohhat, and that he did not come away with the idea e_'
_'that the AG was doing other than defending the FBI, IRS, and the other
agencies. He said the AG did say that the FBI was a professional
. organization and took the approach at if it had a Job to do, it would

the A? dispatch was not complete and did not cover other things that _e,§
AG said. I told him that, regardless oi what was said, the public and;-pepers like the Times would go on what was released in the AP dispatchj'
and certainly this gave another opportunity for such papers to attack.the Bureau on the inference that the FBI was not doing its Job, had teehe

=this had nothing to do with the assassination or President Kennedy, '

' microphone coverage!. I told Mr. Hundley we had so advised the Attorney
General some time ago. Mr. Hundley was aware of this and stated he had
merely raised it because some of the attorneys in the Organized Crime
3 Section would have recognized this change in reports and wondered
about it. He made it clear that he does not discuss tters of thisv'_th tl _ 1:1: 's .,.~:*~%.I told nr. I-Iund y that: E 511 <1 1 hi/u I _ _ e re going ea w t q us ai ed

I told the attorney General that he should also know that

whoIvans, was with Kennedy at s request, to listen to,tD Aa tape anated from the .5 Q
recording fros a sicrophone and that *he coipliiented the FBI over its handling of this setter. the tips 5;
A recording concerned pay offs fros Oosa Rostra to Chicago policesen. -5.. 5.1_,,
Attorney General Iatsenbach sesed rather_stunned over the above 3
inforaation. le stated this this was sosewhat hard to believe inasmuch as 5 Iennedy had told his he did not knot of such installations by the FBI. -
I stated the above facts clearly refuted this clais. Iatzenbach told se 3that these facts did not, of course, sean that forser Attorney General gm92 _.., lulennedy had cleared sicrophone installations in Las Vegas, Nevada. He {T. 92ststed thst this issue sss the hone oi contention st the present tins. I §e
told his that it was inconceivable to se that a san could serve as the 93'
head of the Department and receive a continuous flow of information and feysnot realise where such information was cosing from. latzenbach told as ~
that the Departaent had not received inforsation taken fros aicrophones ~
in has Vegas by the FBI. he stated this has always been his understanding 3;

inforaation was being procured. I told his further that admittedly, for W,
security reasons, the FBI had found it necessary to cut off the flow of
such information after it appeared that our sources were being jeopardized
he Attorny General sade no consent in this regard.
The Attorney General attespted to change the subject by stating 3
that he thought that the current case against our personnel in has Vegas,
which had been brought on by Edward Bennett Iilliass, would be thrown out
ei eeurt. he stated that he dislihed the idea of renovinz this case to ;
Federal court inasmuch as he thought the matter could be fully handled in
state court. he added that to resand this satter to Federal court would _,
prevent state authorities fros learning of issues they were entitled to.
know about. he stated he felt the Statute oi Lin ations was a good basis
for throwing the case out of court and furtherno appeared that Levensen,
the plaintiff, would definitely attenpt to call o t the case once thee

Attorney General added that Levensen, of course, fully realised that his

contusion, Senator Lon: would reel that the invasion oi privacy involved
in the installation oi sicrophones would be just as bad as the usage oi

should he noted that no one had ever talked to Senator Lon: about the
that when you consider the number or lives saved, the hundreds or
thousands oi dollars that the U. S. Governsent was being bilked out oi,
and the very valuable intelligence gained by

insizniiicance. The Attorney General stated

and leveled with his thus tr. The attorney General adsitted this.the IS! in its tight againt

that he didn't think Long
all. I told the attorney9292Justitication involved in installing the leased line nicrophones I stated
Upon leavinc, I told the Attorney General that I hoped that the
intoraation furnished to his would prevent further disclaimers on eithe
his or torser attorney General Kennedy's part. The Attorne General tat y sllthet he hed never etteepted te diecleie envthioe h*- -14 h--v- repeated that Bobby Kennedy had distinctly 1=ei§°n'£i'§eiZe;'§;1'=§iB¢ aboutFBI installation oi sicrophones. I stated that the above facts clearly
brought into focus the tact that torser Attorney General Kennedy did not
know what he was talking about. Iatzenbach asked if he could see the
senorandus in question dated august 17, 1961, which Kennedy signed. I
told his that I would be very happy to show his this sesorandus.
LCTIOI:
It clearly seems that both Attorney General Iatzenhach and
"iorser attorney General Kennedy are attempting to "leave us to the wolves"
it allowed to do so. I think the above visit was valuable tron the
standpoint oi putting Iatzenbach on record that we clearly know the facts
and will not hesitate to use thee it necessary. I will show his the
above-sentioned senorandu this aiternoon.

FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover today labeled as "absolutely 1
inconceivable" the December 10, 1966, statement of Senator Robert F.
Kennedy -- a statement in which Mr. Kennedy implied that Mr. Hoover
hadbeen misinformed concerning Mr. Kennedy's knowiedge 0: the use
of electronic listening devices by the FBI during his tenure a. Attorney
General in 1961-64. Senator Kennedy's statement attached pater
dated February 17, 1966, from a former FBI employee, Mr. Qourtney
A. EV¬LI.>', which reects that Mr. Evans "did not discuss the use" of
microphones with Mr. Kennedy -- nor did Evans "know of any written _
material that was sent to you the then Attorney Gene- . siennedy! at
any time concerning this procedure. "
Mr. Hoover said it is absolutely inconceivable that either
Senator Kennedy or Mr. Evans can make such a :.';...;-lament. He pointed
out that otficial records of the FBI not only reflect discussions between
former Attorney Genera. Kennedy and Mr. Evans concermg the FBI's ..
use of microphone surveiliances, but also contain documents -- including

In line with the Director_'s approval, the Attorney General was
contacted this morning, Joly 1', 1961, relative to observation as to the
possibility of utilizing "electronic devices" in organized crime investigations.
It was pointed out to the Attorney General that we had taken action
with regard to the use of microphone sarveillances in these cases and while
they represented an expensive investigative step, we were nevertheless utilizing
them in all instances where this was technically feasible and where valuables
information might be expected. The strong objections to the utilization of
telephone taps as contrasted to microphone surveiilances "stressed. The
Attorney General stated he recognized the reasons why telephone taps should
- foe restricted to national-defen_se-type case: and he was pleased we hadbeen
using microphone surveillances where these objections do not apply wherever

The Attorney General noted that he had approved several technical
surveillances in connection with security -type investigations since he took
office, but that he had not ltept any record and didn't really itnow what he had
approved and what surveillances were currently in operation. He said that for
his own information he would like to see a list of the technical surveillances
now in operation. He added that this could be brought over to personally
and that he would look it over and ininiediately return it because he realized
the importance of having these records maintained under the special security
conditions which only the FBI had. _

In connection with the use of microphone e '
surveilianoes it is frequently necessary to lease a special telephone
line in order to monitor such a surveillance. These situations
occur when it is impossible to locate a secure monitoring point
in the immediate vicinity of the premises covered by the microphone.
Even though a special telephone line is utilized, this activity in '
no way involves any interception of telephonic communications and
is not a telephone tap.
92-
In the New York City area the telephone company
has over the years insisted that a letter be furnished to the telephone
company on each occasion when a special telephone line is leased by
the FBI. It is required that such a lease arrangement be with the
approval of the Attorney General. In the past we have restricted
the utilization of leased lines in New I014; City to situations involving
telephone taps, all of which have been approved by the Attorney General.
. We have not previously used leased lines in connection
with microphone surveillances because of certain technical difficulties
which existed in New York City. These technical difficulties have, '
however, now been overcome. If we are permitted to use leased telephone
lines as an adjtmct to our microphone surveillances, this type of coverage
can be materially extended both in security and major criminal cases.
Accordingly, your approval of our utilizing this leased line arrmement
is requested. A sample of the letter which it is proposed will be sent
to the telephone company if a leased line is secured in connection with
microphone surveillances is attached. n

In this regard it will he noted that he indicated that the federal
Iureau oi Iarootios was one oi the sost ilagrant violators insoiar ~

advised that I. Hoover would have tendered his resignation

reierred to the Deputy lheriii who served as a witness in hearings 92
in Iiaai, Ilorida. he said this dheriii testiiied that the IBI had
requested his to place wiretaps in a criainal case. I told the

adsitted his knowledge was strictly hearsay and ruaor. l told
Senator Long we were not satisiied and had gone to the original
source oi this rusor and this nan had iully indicated the FBI had *'
not been involved in this setter. The lenator was advised we were
prepared to give his a couplets set oi iacts in this regard ii he '
wanted thn. He indicated this would not be necessary. _
Ienstertald inquired as tosaether or not we had placed any
aicrophones on anyone on behali oi the Iairiax County Police. He
was advised in the negative. He then sade the observation that the
Iairia: County Police had been indisorisinately tapping wires and q -
that the telephone cospany had b ht a mask oi these ¢l-I08 140 _ 'their attention. he stated he was wail aware the Iairias County
