MEMORANDUM FOR MR. TOLSONIv; ii.
MR. SULLIVAN C _MR. BISHOP
MR. BRENNAN
I called Deputy Attorney General Richard Kleindienst
in regard to his question about the statement by Senator Edmund
Muskie that it was but one of about 40 to 60 FBI reports on Earth
Day rallies.! I told him that this is the figure: 50 of our FBI
offices reported on 57 rallies held on Earth Day; however, only
4 of the 57 had FBI coverage, and the other offices sent in informa-
tion that came to them from police departments, informants, and
related sources. I said we only covered 4 of the 57. Mr. Kleindienst
asked if one of the 4 was the District of Columbia, andl told him
it was, the main one. Mr. Kleindienst thanked me.

it at the request of the United States Attorney with the approval of the individual
who was wired. Mr. Kleindienst said this was consentual. '
I said my feeling is that the less we expand on press inquiries, the
better off we are. I said in other words I think the fact that we have stated
that no phones at the Capitol compound have been tapped or any surveillances
conducted of a Congressman is sufficient, because when you begin to answer
these articularl f ' ' ' ' ', p y rom a paper like the New York Times which is hostile,
you get other-questions until you get into an expansion and I think the narrower
you can keep the situation, the better. I said there was a question this after-
noon of our press relations as to whether we were closing an Resid t y en
Agencies and if so, how many, et cetera. I said for his information we are
1 .c osing some; that I had a survey made last week in which every Resident
Agency in the country was examined and we have about 500 to determine if
some could be abolished, such as one- or two-man agencies or some consolidated

office and we are doing that at the present time, however, we have always
re-evaluated them each year, but in view of Media, I thought we should take
more direct action now and some are being closed and consolidated with
other offices and others will be continued where they are needed and there
is enough work to warrant it, but as to the one-man offices, I think in some
places they were created for the convenience of the Agent. I said for instance,
on Staten Island there is a Resident Agency with three men whereas they could
get there across the bridge and all of our cars have radios so we do not need
to have a Resident Agency there as the Agents can work out of the New York
headquarters and we would not have the problem of Agents

get out of the peace group or get out of the Bureau. I said the peace group
is an umbrella for the Socialist Workers organization. Mr. Kleindienst
said they don't belong in the FBI, maybe HEW, but not the FBI. I said the
Socialist Workers organization is on the Atzorney General's list of subversive
organizations and they created this other organization to make a cover for
them. I said these three clerks had to make up their minds either to work
for the B92u'eau or the organization.
Mr. Kleindienst asked to get back to the inquiry from the New '
York Times; that they called the Public Information Office and were given
the statement they have been using last week and then they came back asking
if this meant any kind of electronic surveillance with respect to congressmen
or senators. Mr. Kleindienst said they could just have no further comment,
but he was kicking around whether they could get by with that, but the other
thing is consentual recording by a device on an individual and there would have
been no bug applied to a Congressman's office and leave it at that. The Deputy
Attorney General suggested that he put together some limited language on it
which we could then discuss and he would call me back.
I said knowing the New York Times, they will try to explore it further
and further and mentioned that the fellow who wrote the article in Life, Wicker,
is with the New York Times, and Mr. Kleindienst said that was terrible and
I ought to see what he said about him. I said he has said many things about me
as has Reston, one of the editors. I said there is something unfortunate here '
in Washington and is something I don't understand and I have never mentioned

it to the Antitrust Division, but there is developing throughout the news media
arrangements whereby the Washington Post, the Washington Star, the New
York Times, and the Los Angeles Times all exchange columns and editorials.
I said they are not ovmed by the same individuals, but they have an agreement
whereby articles in the New York Times today, the Star has the right to put
g in the Star and the Post and the Los Angeles Times have the right to do the
same thing. I said we seem to be getting a situation which poisons the public
mind and I don't think it is right. I said it is just like you could own two or
three papers and have the same editorial comment and columns. The Deputy
said it is a monopoly of a point of view. I agreed but the contract exists today.
I said I understand the St. Louis Post Dispatch is contemplating joining.
I said in due time you would have two dozen papers in the country handing
out the same line.
Mr. Kleindienst said to let him try to write down a sentence and
he would call me back.

Deputy Attorney General Kleindienst called and read the followingsuggested statement: "The FBI has never placed an electronic listening A
device of any kind in the home office or on the telephone of any United
States Senator or Congressman." Mr. Kleindienst asked if that admitted
to this consentual recording and I told him it did not. I said the only question
is, what is an electronic device as this thing on a person is an electronic
' device because the- man is wiredeven though he consented. I said I think_[;7 United States Attorney Sachs asked us to do it OI? Mr. Kleindienst

Assistant to the Director William C. Sullivan called and 'there was an urgent matter he wanted to take up with me by phone as WW
Mr. Richard Moore, Special Assistant to the Attorney General, has "
called Assistant Director Bishop and himself from the White House.
Mr. Moore was at that time over at the White House with Ronald Ziegler,
Press Secretary to the President. Mr. Moore said they were going to go
to a press meeting around four o'clock and they wanted from us over the
telephone, a general statement to explain why we had a reason for covering
the National Enviromnental Action meeting that Senator Edmund S. Muslde
D. -.Maine! is complaining about. Mr. Sullivan said a brief statement
has been worked out and proceeded to read as follows:
"Senatur Muskie has publicly condemned the FBI for having
concerned itself with Earth Day rallies held throughout the United States
on April 22, 1970. He noted that no crime or threat of crime was involved
nor was any violence threatened. Senator Muskie has deplored the fact that
the FBI issued confidential reports on this matter to other Govermnent
agencies. The Senator from Maine declared there was no justification for
any part of the Federal intelligence community observing and reporting
legitimate political events which do not affect our national security or
involve a potential for crime.
"It is most unfortunate that after having come into possession
of FBI documents relating to this matter Senator Muskie did not take the
time to seek an answer to the questions he raised on the floor of the Senate.
Had Mr. Muskie voiced his concern to me, he would have found that ahnost
from the moment the Earth rallies were announced, reports were received
that militant action might take place. There were reports of blocking major
traffic arteries at Boston, possible traffic tie-ups in New York City, and
disruptions at the offices of various companies allegedly contributing to
pollution.
"Although the announced purpose of the Earth Day rallies was
nonpolitical, as Senator Muskie has noted, the FBI had received reports
that extremist elements planned to seize on this legitimate occasion to create
disruption in furtherance of their own objections./ILL

"The FBI's sole purpose in collecting and reporting information
regarding this matter was to determine the extent of efiorts by extremist
elements to exploit or disrupt these activities for their own purposes. There
have been prior gatherings in Washington of large numbeisof people which
resulted in violence and considerable damage was done."
I told Mr. Sullivan I thought that was all right.
I said collateral to this, I had sent a note through to check out the
dissemination of that report and asked if that were Media and Mr. Sullivan
said it was not. I said I would surmise some agency in Washington gave this
out. Mr. Sullivan said it was disseminated to Secret Service and some other
agencies. I told him to run it down at every agency and ask to see their copy.
Mr. Sullivan said he would.

because all Muskie is after is to get publicity and build up his Presidential

to disassociate himself with the people there.
Mr. Kleindienst said there was one statement by Muskie, "Finally,
I understand this is but one of 40 to 60 FBI reports on Earth Day Rallies onApril 22, 1970. I know of at least one other member of this body, and
probably others, had some of their speeches and participation in Earth Day

of our reports.
Mr. Kleindienst said that yesterday when this information came down
to his desk, he arrived at the conclusion it would be best not to make any
comment, but when he talked to the Attorney General, he wanted to know why
we did not make any comment and he feels strongly some reply or comment
should be made. Mr. Kleindienst continued that as he indicated to the Attorney
General when he read the stuff to him, ! there was a valid reason for us beingthere in view oand the other kooks, and ! the report is very
imiocuous as it ]llS summarized what occurred and did not say there was
anything wrong. I agreed and said we did not take it down stenographically
or record it in any way. '
Mr. Kleindienst said the Attorney General wants to get a summary of
what the facts were, as opposed to what Muskie said to determine whether or
not some kind of statement should be made either from the Bureau or the
Department. I said I thought the Bureau should not do any talking. I said
members of Congress on the Hill, both Democrats and Republicans, have
called me and talked about the outbursisof Congressman Hale Boggs and
Senators Muskie and McGovern and have advised me to not say anything and
to let my friends on the Hill take care, of it as otherwise it is going to become
a partisan issue and they want to keep it on a nonpartisan basis and put the knife
into the people making these statements, particularly Boggs. I said I have not
talked to a soul. I said I have had all kinds of requests from newspaper peopleand CBS, NBC, and ABC, and I have declined all of them because several of
t d t th f these matters they want to talk about are in the cour , an ci ed e case 0the three girls we ot rid of as they were working with that peace group whoare suing mdho is suing for reinstatement, and Congress

April 15, 1971
Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, Sullivan, Bishop, and Brennan
Mr. Kleindienst said that with respect to this Muslde matter, he
had to get something done and he wondered if someone could get Muslu'e's
speech and that FBI report and write him a memorandum for his own use
only which would summarize the facts and any inaccuracies and then a
statement for his use only as to the reason why the FBI was present and
then direct my attention, if I would, to Muskies statement that this is oneof 40 to 60 FBI reports -- where did he get that? I said, of course, the
only way was for some branch of the Government to have given it to him,
as he could not get it from the FBI. I cited the example of the Army fur-
nishing information to Senator McCarthy against the Secretary of the Army
as they even supplied him with a copy of a letter I had written. I said the
question I have been faced with is dissemination, which, I think, is too
broad. Mr. Kleindienst said he thought we ought to review that. I saidit is being done, but if we cut off some places and then later on something
happens, they say" they were never advised, so we are between the deviland the deep blue sea. I said I don't trust CIA or the State Department
with this information we furnish as it has leaked out to Jack Anderson.
Mr. Kleindienst said with respect to the Attorney Generals
request, try to get him a paper he can use so when he calls again he will
have it and let the Attorney General decide. I told him I would do it right
away.

in the absence of Assistant Director John F. Malone. I told him I had just
left a long conference with the President and he is very much concerned about
police officers ldlled, particularly the two in New York and in other parts of
the country and we are developing a ldnd of program to focus attention on that
and probably some time next week the President will hold a conference of
police chiefs here in Washington.
I said he asked this afternoon what we were doing in New York, if
anything. I asked Mr. Ponder if the New York Police have asked for any
assistance. Mr. Ponder said they asked us to help identify some of the
Panthers and some of the people they have picked up who were apprehended on
related charges, such as firearms. He said they picked up two Panthers /
the day before yesterday in the lobby of the Daily News carrying firearms. I
asked him if the Police picked them up and he said they did; that the Panthers
had loaded guns on them and we were able to identify them as being connected
with the Black Panther newspaper and as being from California. Mr. Ponder
said we have been in touch with the police. I asked when he said the police,
how far up. Mr. Ponder said he attended both funerals in Mr. Malone's
absence and met the Commissioner and ranking officers and assured them of
our desire to do everything possible. I asked if he gave that to the Commissioner
and Mr. Ponder said he had.
I said that was good because I told the President I would call New
York and I told the conference this afternoon that I was quite sure we had offered
the full facilities of the Bureau, such as fingerprints and Laboratory and the
NCIC and any out-of-town leads they may want to have followed and I was sure
that had been done. I said I stated I would follow on that as soon as I got back
to the office and verify it.

Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, Sullivan, Bishop, C.D. Brennan, Gale,
Rosen, Casper
I asked Mr. Ponder if he could send down tonight a teletype of just
what we have done for the police in these two cases, such as identifying the
Black Panthers even though they were not the ones they were looldng for.
Mr. Ponder said they were ruled out. I told Mr. Ponder to send a teletype
down tonight indicating what we have done and the fact he attended these two
merals and met the Commissioner and other high-ranking officials and
offered all the facilities of the Bureau to them because in the meeting this
afternoon with the President, and the Attorney General and Mr. John Ehrlichman,
one of the principal assistants at the White House, were there and myself,
they had the news reels come in and take pictures and the press relations man
gave a statement of what the meeting was for and that steps would be taken
to be of even greater help to local authorities.
I told Mr. Ponder I would like to have the teletype tomorrow morning
in such form that I might send it to the White House so the President can read
it. Mr. Ponder said that at the funeral yesterday he was notified of a meeting to be
held last night and we sent a Panther expert to brief the police department
and they went over the case and determined what they are trying to do.
Mr. Ponder also said that we have notified all of our informants. I told him
to include that in the teletype because that is the ldnd of thing the President
likes to know about and I told him to get it to me tonight.

Mr. Donahoe said that what we are going to do is try to assist
the working level of the police. Mr. Donahoe said that SAC Ponder had
some idea that I might want us to reveal the President's interest. I told
him, no, I did not want his name mentioned; that at the meeting yesterday
with the President he was very determined and very positive that something
be done and last night when he called me at home he told me to go all out
irrespective in intelligence gathering. I said I have since talked to the
Attorney General and advised him of the President's call and the Attorney
General agrees and I told the Attorney General that we are going to try to
do this without ruffling the waters with the New York City Police; that
Commissioner Murphy is hostile to us and they can leak out the fact that
the FBI is trying to steal the show, which is not so as what we want to do is
solve the case and in solving, if we happen to get the break, all the better ,
or if the New York City Police get it and give us proper credit, that is all right,
but I want no approach to Murphy or anybody in the Police Department that
we are taking over. I said furthermore that it should not be known too much
through our New York Office as it is a large office and some of them can't
keep their mouths shut. A

blanket approval in any background investigation for Congressional com-

they have blanket approval to interview Senators in that regard, but inother employee investigations where they have references, acquaintances,
associates, or fellow employees up there, he, Gale, thought it was sillyto make a distinction in those cases and thought they ought to have blanket
approval for all. I told him I would approve that.
Mr. Gale took occasion to say he thought Senator McClellan
will be pleased with the letter and I said I knew how interested he was in
the accomplishments of the couit orders and to be certain we send a similar

he wanted to make certain we didn't pull any pl.1IlCh8S in going all out inI gathering information, thissituation in New York the slaying of the two police officers!, and the President
wanted me to let him, the Attorney General, know. I said the President

I told the Attorney General that I told our New York Office that
while we want to give the fullest cooperation to the Police Department, I
wanted this case given top priority and, if possible, to try to solve it ourselves
without creating a hassle or friction with the Police Depfment. The Au? rney

conference, but I did not mention the President. The Attorney General said
this was ood because some of them may do some talking. I said Sheriffb Q ins happy and he and his Vice President will stand by.
I continued that I have ordered the training schools to start the morning of
June 7th with 100 police officers here e for two-or tlu'ee- day training as to
ways and means to prevent the killing of police officers. I said as I
understand it, the President would like to come over and speak to them,
and the Attorney General said that was his desire. I told the Attorney General
I would let him know as soon as I have it firmed up and when he is coming over
so the Attorney General can be there. The Attorney General said this was
fine and was one of the things the President had in mind.

quoting the Attorney General as stating:

clearly showed his attitude toward the FBI and its Director and that the New York
Times reporter had completely misrepresented his statement, particularly
that which appears on page 7.
I told the Attorney General that I appreciated the remarks which
he did make in Atlanta but which the New York Times did not accurately
present, but that was typical of that yellow journal.

I called Mrs. Sue Morrison, secretary to the Attorney
General, and told her I knew from the schedule of the Attorney
General that he is in a conference and would be leaving at 3:30
for the White House. She advised that had been changed to four
o'clock. I asked her if she could get word to the Attorney General,
when he is free, that I did not want to see him or take up his time,
but in getting the program set up for next week we have considered,
in addition to the officers of the International Association of Chiefs
of Police, inviting the following Chiefs:
Chief of Police, Kansas City, Missouri
Chief of Police, Chicago, Illinois
Chief of the New York State Police _
Commissioner of Police at Boston, Massachusetts
Director of State Police of Texas, which is the branch
that has the Texas Rangers
1 continued that 1 also have the name < I said I knew the Attorney General a niies ' s ee
a little irked about him in regard to civil ri hts matters and I did; not want to have an invitation extended toif he were objectionable
to the Attorney General. I asked Mrs. Morrison if she could bring
this to the Attorney General's attention and let me know, and she
stated she would.

was calling to see whether he could get a line for us on the
time it would be convenient for the President to come over
to this building to speak to the 100 police officers who are
coming in for training on June 7th. Mr. Ehrlichman said
he would have Dwight Chapin call me with that time. I told
him we were setting up the time and curriculum for these

L Q Mr. c! called and advised he is StudentBody President a niversity and he also apparently
formerly worked at the White House in some capacity. He stated he was
calling to congratulate me on my splendid record of achievement; that he
knows many who want to criticize me and label me something I am not
and he thinks I have done an excellent job and made numerous excellent
statements in the past weeks and he is in support of my thinking. He said
I have done an excellent job and a public servant, such as myself, who has
made a contribution to society, should not be criticized such as I am. He
said he thought some young persons, and he knows there are many like him,
who don't get heard" and he wanted to convey to me his support in continuing
my efforts to make this nation the greatest nation and keep it a great nation.
He said I have done a wonderful, splendid job and he thought there were so
many people really behind me who are silent and I dont hear from them.
I told him it was nice of him to call and I appreciated his comments.
I said I have been under "flack" for many years past from various individuals
and this recent attack, I thought, was largely political emanating from the far
out left individuals and windbags we have in the Senate, but I, of course, have
developed a rhinoceros hide and it rolls off of me. I said I often judge a person
by who condemns him rather than who praises him and if some of these papers
like the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times
ever praised my administration of the Bureau, I would call a meeting of
my executive staff to find out what we did wrong. Mr._remarked that
Q appreciated it very much.

was to find out whether he had followed up on that matter of those
memoranda I sent him as to the policy we are going to follow in
regard to the National Crime Information Center NCIC!. I told
him I had to appear this afternoon before the Senate Appropriations

Mr Kleindienst said that when he asked, I sent them over

unable to do anything himself about it. I told him then that if
they ask, I will just say the matter is pending in the Department.

The Attorney General retxu-ned my earlier call and
I told him I wanted to let him lmow that the President called me
when he got in from his Midwest trip and said he wanted to come
to the graduation on Wednesday graduation of the FBI National
Academy!. I told the Attorney General I wanted him to know and
that I thought it might be well if he and I were over there a little
early, about 9:45, to meet the President at his car as he drives
in. The Attorney General asked if the President said how long
he was going to be there and I said he just said he wanted to
attend so I presume it would be through the entire ceremony and
it will last about an hour. '
The Attorney General said he would check it out over
there, the White House, and see what the plans are and we would
work it out.

RE: SECURITY OF SENSITIVE INFORMA'I'ION
Effective immediately new procedures are being instituted with
respect to certain key memoranda dictated by me such as those relating
to conversations with the President, the Attorney General, and other high
officials.
When I feel that you should be aware of various aspects of these
matters, I will continue to check the routing block as necessary. However,
highly sensitive items are not to leave my office. If your name is checked
in the routing block you will be called by Miss Gandy and must come to my
office to review and initial the memorandum.
As a general rule, there is to be no Xerox or other reproduction of
any memoranda dictated by me. If such action is absolutely necessary the
question of reproduction must be cleared with the Inspection Division.

MR
Honorable H. R. Haldeman, Assistant to the President, called.
He said the President asked him to check and see if I could get over to him
a current progress report on the investigation of the Times personnel
participation in this obtaining of the stolen papers. I told him I could do that.
Mr. Haldeman said this is the involvement of individuals and the President
would also like to have periodic status reports. I asked him how often,
a.nd he said once a week. Mr. Haldeman said the President would like
a report to bring him up to date and then to keep him lled in, but he is
particularly interested in the complicity of individuals. I said we are
bearing of the New York Times and also on the angle ofthis ! in Los Angeles, who is an employee of thg
who refused to testify and has been cited for contemp .
I would have this done right away.
8:56 AM .
I called Supervisor W. Raymond Wamiall inthe Domestic Intelligen
Division and told him the White House had just called and they would like to
have a memorandum just as quickly as possible on the angles of the New York
Times persormel who are involved in the Ellsberg case that may result in
indictments or prosecution and they would like to have also once a week a
status report of the progress we are rnaldng in the Ellsberg case as to those
b 7 / various angles like..ndnd anyone else. I told Mr. Wannall
the one that I am anxious for now is the current progress report as Ithought
the President is leaving for San Clemente about noon and I would liketo get
it over before then.

Johnnie M. Walters called to see me. " _,, I
IOn August 20, 1971, Commissioner of Internal Reve @
He stated that the Internal Revenue Service was considering
issuing a statement relative to the organization called "Friends of the
FBI" as being tax exempt. He stated he did not want this to be done
until he had spoken to me about it, obtained my views, and inquired as
to whether I would be willing to be mentioned in the proposed press
release as not having any connection with this particular outt.
I told Commissioner Walters that I was particularly appreciative
of his action in coming to speak to me about this matter because I had
been greatly concerned about the activities of the "Friends of the FBI. "
I stated I thought it was nothing but a scheme or a con game to collect
money which would not be spent for the purposes alleged.
I told the Commissioner I would most certainly welcome a
statement being issued by the Internal Revenue Service stating that the
group "Friends of the FBI" would not be tax exempt and that he most
certainly could use my name in whatever release the Internal Revenue
Service proposed to make.
I received today a copy of the proposed release and have
advised the Commissioner that I am in full accord with its contents." ' :Q_

I discussed with him generally the operations of a field
and the necessity for a firm but fair administration.1C8
I noted that the Omaha Office had no classifications of cases
which exceeded 7% delinquency and hoped this would continue.
I also noted in July the Omaha Office Agents had closed 9. 3 cases
per Agent while the field average was 9. 2, which was good.
I noted in the first month of fiscal year 1972, as compared with
the first month of fiscal year 1971, the Omaha Office had increased its
accomplishments in every category except convictions.
I commented on the fact that the Agents of the Omaha Office in
July spent 11. 5% of their time in the office, which was excessive and should
be reduced.
I stressed to Mr. Thompson the valu of informant ' allfields of our work noting that the Omaha Office d the necessity for in ensi ication of the
evelopment of top level informants.
I noted that the agents of the-1£'n15hitOffice in July had averaged
two hours and twenty-four minutes per ove ime and, while this was
excessive, I know of no way to reduclitrin v'ie'w'6f'the volume of work andthe shortage of personnel. I stateckI.,vu:1.r1ted egpltsize the fact that Idid not want any unnecessgry overti "e nd what vertime was performed

clerical employees for duty at the Bureau. I stressed to Mr. Thompson that
this program should be given continuous attention.
I discussed with Mr. Thompson the Criminal Intelligence Program,
noting the office has recorded 15 convictions for violations of statutes con-
cerning antigambling and antiracketeering categories since the passage of
these statutes. There are presently 11 individuals under indictment-for
violation of these statutes.
I spoke to Mr. Thompson about the fact I noted the Omaha Office
had 4 bank robberies, 16 bank burglaries and l bank larceny pending unsolved
and every effort should be made to correct this.

I advised Moore to bear down on the Media matter; that it might be
because of Assistant Attorney General Mardian that they did not call some of
these people before a Grand Jury. Mr. Moore stated that they had identied
most of them -- I stated the Judge could fine them for contempt. Mr. Moore
stated that better still, he had 29 individuals ready to arrestin draft board cases.
I questioned who the Department representative was and Moore said it was Mr.
Goodwin. Moore said he had sent a teletype in last Friday 8/27/'71!, and had
given all of the pertinent information. Mr. Moore indicated that there were
actually 39 individuals involved in six different draft board cases -- that the only
trouble is that in one case the evidence is based on two search warrants in the
Media case. Moor_e_.the_n discussed various aspects of the Media case. ,.

I then told Moore to go home this weekend and he stated he actually would

_ I understand that in the last television TV! script whichMr. Tolson had to review, there were three killings and he returned
it in order to have it rewritten so as to eliminate these acts of
- violence. ' '
I want to make it emphatically clear that I do not want
any extreme acts of violence portrayed on our TV program.
I have stated this previously but apparently it is not being giventhe attention that it should. There is a nationwide feeling that TV
presents entirely too much violence and various groups and
organizations have publicly stated the same and testimony has
been given before Congressional committees to that effect. I do
not intend that the FBI's TV program be in that category and you
must, therefore. give more attention to the review of these scripts
before they are sent to Mr. Tolson for final approval.

to Mr. Tolson for approval for the transfer to the New York Field

not_want any personnel of the Identification Division to be trans-
ferred to any other part of the Bureau either at the Seat of
Government or to the field until we have corrected the deplorable

As I have previously indicated, all new clerical employees
are to be assigned to the Identification Division and not to any other
Division at the Seat of Government. Field offices which may need
additional employees must recruit them at the local level. I, of

them at 11:15.
The Attorney General said that he gathered so far as information isavailable, any militancy at the Justice and Labor Departments will be taking'15lace'Satur'day and not "Friday. ' I told him I thought so. The Attorney General

Attorney General John N. Mitchell called. He advisedthat the President has pretty well decided that before the day
is out, he is going to announce the nomination of Judge Car-swell
for the spot on the Supreme Court. I commented that he is a
good man. The Attorney General said he thought they had been
around him pretty well and with his age, he should have a long
tenure with the right kind of approach on the Supreme Court.
The Attorney General said he knew we had checked him
out extensively in connection with his designation to the Circuit
Court last June and he wondered if, as in the past so the President
can make the presentation, before too late in the afternoon, he,
the Attorney General, might have the same kind of communcation
from us on Judge Carswell as on the other nominees. I told
the At orney General I would take care of it right away.
I instructed Mr. Gale to prepare this right away.

duration will be formed on February 24. 1970, in order to supplement our
staff before the commencement of the heavy Spring season. Easter occurs
on March 29, 1970, and, as you undoubtedly know, the weeks before and
after are always the peak period of the entire year.
I want to reiterate that it is absolutely essential for all Divi-
sions to equitably share in making personnel available for tour leader duties.
After evaluating the male clerical employees assigned to your Division, you
should submit by appropriate memorandum the names of the young men
assigned to your Division believed suitable for this training. These memo-
randa should be received by the Crime Records Division by the close of
- ~-business February 13, 1970, -in order that the necessary additional processing
" San be completed prior -to the formation of this class-. All those being recom-
mended must possess. at least, the minimum physical requirements for the
Special Agent position.

The Attorney General called and said he hears that we are
maldng substantial progress in the Joseph Yablonski case. I said we
have been making excellent progress; that we found yesterday for the
rst time that the name "Tony" is a nickname of Boyle President of
rney the United Mine Workers!, which is very significant. The Atto
General commented that he would think . I told him we are
into
information whic we are confirm y. The
said he was sure we are doing our usual splendid job.
The Attorney General said he did ask to have sent to him
personally for his own use and knowledge the witnesses that Krupansky
United States Attorney at Cleveland! is bringing into that grand jury
and, of course, he would keep it personally. I told him I could send that
to him.
l told the Attorne General that we had some trouble with thisfellow whoarrogantly called and gave orders of what he wante and I told them to tell
him we could not at that time give the list of names as we were still serving
subpoenas as obviously, if this got to the press, and he did not say he was
going to release it, it would probably stop us from locating some of these
individuals who would flee. I told the Attorney General I would see that a
list is sent around to him right away. The Attorney General said he would
appreciate it and again he congratulated me on the work we are doing in
this case..5 7 c

I told the Attorney General that what has happened is the Washin ont s been able to obtain here in washingten the details ois made and they went to the United 67¢
States Attorney in Cleveland yesterday, the Post representative, and told himthey had all the dates, places, et cetera, t
and they were proposing to print it and would prin mos o i s mormng
The Attorney General asked how that got out. I said it could be only from the
affidavits which I sent to him, the Attorney General, although I did not know
whether he had disseminated them. The Attorney General said he had not and
they were in his safe. The Attorney General continued that he also understood,
although he was not sure and it seemed to him that he had heard this, that
the Bureau sent one to the Criminal Division -- a copy of those afdavits --
which disturbed him. I told him it disturbed me also as I did not know this
had been done, but I would check because I was fearful of this thing leaking
out and it has. The Attorney General said he would also point out that he heard
on the radio this morning and has seen _:a news ticker that this same information
was coming out of Cleveland. I said it is out of Cleveland written by a
Washington Post staff writer who procured the information from Washington.
I said there is another story, I think in the Daily News, which carries a
Washington headline with the information that was carried from Cleveland
in the Cleveland headline, so I am distiu~bed. I told the Attorney General
that what we to do with th mission of the court is to
tathis fellow
we have not SOII16

Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, DeLoach, Rosen, Bishop January 28, 1970
The Attorney General stated that the material I had sent him,
which includes everything; including the list of witnesses, has been seen
by nobody except himself and has not been discussed with anybody and
is in his safe. I told him I knew my men, Rosen and DeLoach, had imised
with Assistant Attorney General Will Wilson and somebody else in the
Organized Crime Section the original plan of getting a grand jury going in
Cleveland, but they did not give any of the details as they submitted a
hypothetical case -- if such and such existed, could we do this or that --
without giving details or names of individuals. I said I did not know it,
but possibly a copy of the confession had gone to the Criminal Division
and I would look into it because I gave orders that I wanted this bottled
up closely even within the Bureau, although I trust my people, but leaks
will occur and I did not want too many people here lmowing about it except
those who are supervising the case. I said I cautioned my A ents in Chargeat Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Knoxville, where this fellowbives
in that district, but apparentl the Post has otten it from somewhere,
tails in The Attorney Generalincluding the major <1. -
said he would think the Post would be the paper in the world that
anybody would talk to. I said they have pretty good pipelines, or did so
previously, and I will not allow anybody from the Post to interview any of
our people or allow any of our people to answer phone calls because it is
one of the dirtiest of operations in all branches, not only society, but
at the reporting level and editorially. The Attorney General said that
was certainly well established. I said even when Drew Pearson was living,
I put the ban on his being allowed to interview anybody or to call anybody
and I have put the same ban on Jack Anderson, who has the same stripes
down the middle of his back as Pearson. The Attorney General said he
agreed with that observation. I said a Post representative told the
United States Attorney in Cleveland that he had all this stuff, but it won't
-A-_harm the case because he have served all the subpoenas on persons to appear
before the will ly continue through today and maybe
was subpoenaed to appear and at the tomorrow, but,7L

increase or decrease from the present volume, obtain the details as tothe reason for the increase or decrease so that we will have complete"information available to fully jusfy our total name check and ngerprint V

dLu~ing the scal year 1971 and subsequent fiscal years through 1976,
broken down as to clerical and agent positions in both instances. Show the
reason for any proposed increase. If reimbursable Work is performed, all
information on personnel should indicate the number of employees assigned
or required for such work included in the total personnel figures as a one-

I told him he could tell Mr. Mohr that he had talked to me and I think it

quite likely it will get out the investigation is taking place, and ! it is notpossible within such a short period of time to do an exhaustive and complete
investigation. I said that is entirely true. The Attorney General said that heis well warmed on the subject matter and, of course, he will take the risk

s.- new the Attorney General 1 thought we would have by Monday or
Tuesday requests for technical surveillances to be approved by the court,
which, of course, would go through him; that I was aware of the desire to Aget these done as expeditiously as possible and I was sending more manpowerin and also more stenographic personnel. I said we are having a conference
with the Department this afternoon to see if the stenographic thing can't be
reduced so that the recordings taking place can't be done as in other offices
where they are summarized into tape recordings so the attorneys can havethat without a formal report transcribed by a stenographer. The Attorney
General commented this would save a lot of time.
I told the Attorney General that the Detroit Office advised this
morning of the need for ten additional stenographers for a month to do thisand we have asked the Departmentto consider this other proposition, which
I imagine will be taken care of this afternoon. The Attorney General com-
_m__e_nted that not knowing -the technical problems, V it would seem the intelligentand productive way of doing it. ,1 said __it'has been done in other-cas.e's successfully;' that it had been done in Newark when we got the information on the

__ plionorable Kent Crane, _A_ss1stant to the_V1ce__P__re_sident, called." He said he had just been a chat with the Vice Presiden't'»a'nd'I had sent "
to them over the past year some very interesting and alarming statistics
where I have totaled things like the number of attacks on police, the number
of disturbances in schools, bombings, et cetera, and he, Crane, was justtelling the Vice President about that and that it has gotten to the point where
everybody takes bombings, et cetera, so routinely that you nd them on
page fteen of the New York Times. I commented it is a part of life each
day. Mr. Crane said that what the Vice President and he were talldng
about was whether it would be useful to make a speech that here, these
people are not fooling around and it is time we took cognizance of the fact
and here are some statistics. Mr. Crane said that the last time he saw
Mr. DeLoach he told him it was time somebody put the red flag up on these
characters and he wondered if it were appropriate to ask me to give them
that material.
I told him I would get started on it and see if we cant prepare it.
Mr. Crane asked if he should follow "this up with a memorandum, and I told
him it was not necessary, that I will initiate it immediately and try to get »
a memorandum to him. Mr. Crane said they are facing three big speeches
in the South where he thought this would be well received. I told him I
would try to get the material together and send it to him. He asked if I
thought he could have it by Wednesday night, and I told him I thought so.
' " Crane said thatany thou_ghts]_a's to how to present this would be most
helpful because he"knew'I could put it in context much better than anyone else.
I told him I would be glad to prepare it. Mr. Crane said not to think exclusively
along the lines of what he has mentioned as those are his thoughts and my
' people may have some other ways of presenting it which would be helpful.
Mr. Joseph Sizoo, in Mr. Sullivan's absence, was advised of the
above and instructed to get the material together.

. I called Police Commissioner Donald D. Pomerleau in Baltimore,
Maryland, and told him I wanted to call him to tell him how much I think
h_e__should be commended for the very courageous and forthright action he
on the Black Panther situation. The Commissioner thanked me. I r
told him I knew the difficulty he had in getting that initiated and I thought
~ his action will certainly be most effective, not only in Baltimore, but in
other parts of the country, to show the local authorities are on the job and
mean to take action when it should be. . _ r
Commissioner Pomerleau said he intends to make copies of the
injunction that was granted yesterday and send it around to the major cities
police administrators with the hope that they will take note on a national
basis. I told him I thought that was desirable and if there is any assistance
our Baltimore Office can render or any of our other offices, let us know,
The Commissioner said he would do that, but we have been most cooperative
and, of course, the initial lead to the arrests came from our office and
SAC Edwin R. Tully brought it over to him and it was a cooperative effort
between the two agencies, which he felt was most outstanding. I told him I
am happy we have had such a cooperative relationship with him and his
organization and I thought this action in Baltimore will be very material,
particularly in view of the conditions in New Haven and I thought other cities
will realize theyhave totake act-ionand -takeit promptly and vigorously to a.
pr'event'an outbreak of violence father than let it break out and then try to
stop it. I cited the case of Ohio State University where 32 policemen were
injured and if they had taken the proper action in advance, it could have been
stopped, but the University authorities would-not allow it, but I wanted to
commend him personally for the fine action he took and any assistance we
can give him is at his command. Commissioner Pomerleau thanked me
and said it is a "two-way street" and if he can help us sometime, he is
ready to do so. I told him I appreciated that, and he said it was kind of me._; _ ~ pp, ,, _ _ Iv??-

commend him and offer him any assistance that
we can properly give to him in this matter or any other in which we have a
mutual interest, so I wanted him, Tully, to know in case the Commissionertalked to him later. Mr. Tully said he appreciates this because the Com- E Qmissioner will be delighted.
I said I told the Commissioner I thought this would have a effectin the rest of the country. I said he told me he was going to send out copies
of the injunction to the heads of all metropolitan police departments. I said
I told him I thought this was desirable to buck up and get them to take the
same action he has taken because of the condition at New Haven at the presenttime and it will probably be worse if the local authorities don't move promptly
and prevent these things from occurring as the Commissioner did in Baltimore.Mr. Tully said he was sure the Commissioner will be delighted.
Mr. Tully said that for my information when the Commissioner
issued his .press statement he publicly thanked me for our cooperation which1ead'to,the solution of this _case'. .,_Mr.' Tully said the'.only__trouble was, theSun did not include this in its coverage. I said I was not surprised or dis-
turbed, that I put the Sun in the same category as the Washington Post and the
New York Times -- left-wing and trying to downgrade law enforcement and
not support it, so when the Sun says something hostile about the>Bureau I _"'1-be conéerned if hey.-praised us. "It5ld;t .51."Mr. 'Tully I wanted him to know I talked with the Commissioner and offered
him every assistance we can give. Mr. Tully said he appreciated my calling

-2 MR. BISHOP -
Honorable Egil Krogh, Jr. , Deputy Assistant to the President forDomestic Affairs called. He said Honorable John D. Ehrlichman, Assistant
to the President for Domestic Affairs, had asked him to call me on a con-dential basis and determine how much longer the FBI Agents are going tobe at work on the campus of Kent State University. I told him it was specu-
lative because we have had to interview all the members of the National Guard
and they have been withdrawn, as he knew, from the campus and gone to theirhomes and they have closed the University and the students have also gone home
so we could not interview them at Kent State and they are scattered all over
the country and we are working day and night on it. I said I have 100 men on
the investigation at the present time. I said I would imagine it would -be the
end of the week, although this is speculative; that we have divided it into two
sections, the first pertaining to the actual shootings that occurred, and the
second pertaining to the burning of the ROTC building. I said the latter will
come along later as we have concentrated on the shootings rst because I
thought that the most important, but I would imagine it would be about thelatter part of this week. I said we will certainly try to have it this week,
certainly not later than that, and it may be by the middle of the week, but
we are working on it day and night and I have put 100 men on the case to tryand run these people down, but the people are scattered all over the country. Q
[/71 JI commented that we are etting some interesting developments gindicating thatbefore the violence o p e, but he made violent speeches urging the
students to resort to all kinds of tactics and, of course, the students by that
time were inflamed and to have 1, 000 students surrounding a small number
of Guardsmen and the National Guardsmen would have been killed if they had
not fired because the students were throwing lead pipes, rocks, and bricks
at the Guardsmen. I said we have taken photographs of bruises of the Guards-
men in color, some of which are shocking. _' ~

I said I think it is a situation of six of one and a half-dozen of the
other and that the students invited and got what they deserved. I said theGuardsmen l1S¬d/R.lCh restraint as they could but after getting hit by leadpipes, you can't stand much more, but we are getting both sides of the
picture.
Mr. Krogh said he assumed there are agents on the campus, per se,and I said there are. He continued then that they would probably be there
through the middle of the week. I said probably the rest of the week becausewhen they nish the shooting part, they will go into the burning of the ROTCbuilding. Mr. Krogh said then they are going into the shooting rst and thenthe burning. I said I thought the shooting was more important because peopleare not talking about the students burning down the ROTC building, whichthey did, and which would probably be Government property, but the shootings
I expect will be completed certainly this week, whether the middle or latterpart, I can't say at the moment, and then we will swing into the burqiiiig -; ofthe building, but there are Agents on the campus interviewing the few
National Guardsmen left and interviewing the local police who were on the
campus at the time, but there are no students. I said we interviewed the
President and such members of the faculty still there, but most have gone
home. Mr. Krogh asked if we followed them to their homes and I saidwe have; that they are scattered all over the country, such as Massachusetts,
New York State, and down South, so it has involved almost two-thirds of
our eld offices and we have 59 field ofces and twe-thirds of them are
investigating leads in their districts. I said then we have to assemble that
into a composite report and the report will run very lengthy and it will be
probably 200 or 300 pages when comgi-:-ted.
7 Mr. Krogh said that of course, Mr. Ehrlichman might be calling
me directly although he was not sure when, but he just wanted to get the feel
as to how it was going because it is awfully hot.1
I said we were making excellent progress on it and I personally seta deadline, although we are not to be kept to that, for PM Tuesday, which is
tomorrow, but I don't know whether we will be able to get it all typed by then.
Mr. Krogh said it would probably be the end of the week and I said I was con-
dent ';it would be this week as there is no question about that and it will
probably be Wednesday or Thursday and then we will go into the burning of
the ROTC. Mr. Krogh thanked me.

MR. SULLIVAN '""o #-1MR. BISHOP V
While talking to Honorable Egil Krogh, Jr. , Deputy Assistant
to the President for Domestic Affairs, when he called on another matter,
he asked me how I felt last weekend went here in Washington. I told him
it was my feeling that the press played it down as did the city authorities;
that there were acts of violence that occurred. I said it was no peaceful
demonstration as the Mayor and Chief of Police Wilson say, but I think
all in all it was as good as can be expected, but theybombed the National
Guard building and broke windows, smeared red paint on the front door
of the Department of Justice, broke windows in stores on Connecticut
Avenue and the People's Drug Store near Dupont Circle, and none of that
is emphasized. Mr. Krogh said Honorable John D. Ehrlichman, Assistant
to the President for Domestic Affairs, had asked this morning if it would' be possible for the B1u'eau to take a look at the bombing of the National
Guard Building. I said we were already on that as we moved on it right away.
I said there were some bad actors here on Saturday and this morning
the hippies in Georgetown, which is one of the worst places, were blocking
Key Bridge and blocking traffic into the District. Mr. Krogh asked if the
police cleared them out and I said the police after some delay cleared them
out. I said they had done that at Ward Circle for three days in a row last
week and the police used tear gas. I said I thought the police, the rank and
le, did a grand job, but I am not at all satised with the higher level.
I said I think there should be restraint in what we do, but there comes a time
when you have to call a halt and there was $5, 000 damage in Washington and
nothing said about it. Mr. Krogh said he thought you ought to call a spade
a spade. =.-. I said like the November demonstration, they called that peaceful
and it was not; they attacked this building and they had to use gas; they broke
windows on Connecticut Avenue in some of the finest stores and looted and
they did the same this weekend. Mr. Krogh asked ifthey broke Windows at
Justice Saturday and I said they did and smeared red paint on the entrance

Memorandum for Messrs. Tolson, DeLoach, Rosen, Sullivan, Bishop
and all of that has to be sandblasted to get the paint off, as they did last
November, but the papers don't print this. Mr. Krogh said the papers in
this town and the New York Times are not going to say anything like that.
I said I won't read the New York Times and the Washington Post and
whenever they throw brickbats at the FBI I'm happy and if they ever praised
us I would call a meeting of the top executives to see what was the reason.
Mr. Krogh laughed and said he had heard that there, too.
I said there is a very serious situation in New York City this
morning as students from the New York University campus have moved
into Wall Street to close the stock exchange but the construction guys are
coming out again and I was glad they did what they did last weekend as
they really chased them up Broadway. Mr. Krogh said Mayor Lindsey
better watch his step or he will lose the whole town and not only the Police
Department. I said the rank and le are ne, but Superintendent Leary
is doing what Lindsey wants him to do. I said I heard the head of the police
union on S92nskind's program and he was strong in his denunciation of the
restraints on them and releasing the people on recognizance. I said they
made 300 arrests Saturday but they will probably be turned loose. Mr. Krogh
said so many times you can't find the arresting officer afterwards. I agreed
and said or the court would let them go on recognizance or even not on
recognizance.
Very truly yours,

< Mr. Crane said what the Vice President would like to have is
material that he can look over before he goes on a program in summary
form and if they start calling him on it, he wants to be able to let them
have it. Mr. Crane said he has received tremendous material from the
Bureau, but he has too much to review and he would like to have it in
_a briefing form book where he can have something on the Panthers and other
violence-p*r3ne groups and he would like to have something on the campusunrest; and he would like to have total damages, injuries, and especially
graphic incidents that could be used as examples, which Governor Ronald
Reagan has done a beautiful job with and he thought the Vice President had
talked with him at the Governor's conference and he said he has some great
examples. He continued that he would like to have some information on the
organization, na
