dedication to the cause of law and order.
Molded to safeguard the principles oC our
democracy, tl1c FD!, U.'lder the remarkable Ieadcrsl1lp o!
Director Hoover, has achieved an efficiency and effectiveness
unparalleled in the hlsto,-y of law enforcement. Iii its w-ar on
crime and subversion, the FDI has become as renowned for
its vigilance and concern ior the rights oi ail citizens as it
has for thwarling the enemies of our free society.
Mr. Hoover has righl!ully earned the respecl,
admiration, gratitude, and support of concerned Americans
everywhere, and history books will record the name of J. Edgar
Hoov_er as one of ourNation's great men. Those of us who have .
had the privilege of carrying the credentials of a Special Agent
I are especially grateCul for his untiring efforts to maintain the
high standards of the Bureau, and it is the earnest prayer or
everyone associated with the Society of Former Special Agents
of the Federal Bureau of Investiiation, in particular the membership • -of the Washington Chapter, that Mr. Hoover will continue as Director
bf the FBI for many years to come.

WASHINGTON, D. C.
MAY 24, 1971
I know that those of you who regularly subscribe to an
alleged National picture magazine may have had difficulty recognizing
me in the conventional clothes I am wearing this evening; but, like
ordinary people, we ''Emperors" do have our problems, and I regret
to say that my toga did not get back from the cleaners on time.
While I am delighted to be with you to pay tribute to
a lovelv ladv whom I consider it a orivile1re to number amonll'. mv .. .. - -..... ---.

the occasion, we decided to have a photograph made together.
Unfortunately, the picture didn't come out .... I would like to take
this opportunity to report to Mrs. Mitchell that the photographer
is doing much better work now. He has recently sent me several
very excellent snapshots ... from his new office of assignment in
Anchorage, Alaska.
To be serious for a moment, I want to thank you
for inviting me to participate in this festive occasion, and, on behalf
of all of us in the FBI, I would also like to take this opportunity to
express heartfelt appreciation for the splendid cooperation afforded
us by the members of the American Newspaper Women's Club over
the years. The effectiveness of our operations depends to a large
extent on iour assistance in getting the word to the public regarding
our respo.nsiqilities, jurisdiction, and accomplishments. Your

'' HJEc:1 \i;E<:;OGNlTIDN 0~ DIRECTOR'~ 47th ANNIYE;~~-y
~S DIRECTOR OF THE FBI --
\ CONTACT BY OFFICE OF CONGRESSMAN JC?HN M.
(Democrat-West Virginia) SLACK
_1,L On the afternoon of May 3, 1971, I received a telephone call from
iJ>au~ecker, the Administrative and Legislative Aide of Congressman John.M. ,·f ~~i;.~ who is a member of our Appropriations Subcommittee and who is a stauD.c.
admirer of the Director personally and the Bureau as a whole.
Becker stated that the Congressman was aw~of the proposed resa
tion that was to be presented by Congressman Harold D.; ollier CR-Illinois) whi
Collier has introduced on the floor of the Cong'i'ess iii su po Ol the Director aI1
in appreciation for his contributions to this country over his years of public ser
1 ice.* Becker stated he and the Congressman had been discussing the Director's
· valuable services to this country and the great debt the citizens owed Mr. Hoove
for his contributions to the internal security of this nation, as well as his con
tinued attack on the criminal element ,and felt that something more than just a
resolution or stereotyped speech commending the Director should be considered
by the Congress and he, Slack, would like to instigate such action if feasible.
Becker stated that he was sure the Director, better than any other n
in this country, could document from his wealth of knowledge and experience an
autobiography or memoirs that would be of inestimable value to the citizens toda
but also to the historians in the future with regard to the various types of organi
tions and individuals that have endeavored to undermine our form of Governmen·
and particularly those past and present detractors of our great institutions such
the FBI who are doing this country a great disservice, particularly the current 1
of freaks, wierdos, screwballs and political opportunists who are attempting to
detract from, rather than to properly recognize what this country stands for anc
what contributions men such as the Director have made toward making this such
a gre<UJiation. _, · _ -,. ,

Memorandum to Mr. Mohr
Re: Recognition of the Director's 47th Anniversary ...
Becker stated that he and Congressman Slack are aware of the
Director's high principles and know that he would not consider documenting
such material while he is in office and they were thinking if at such time as
the Director may decide to leave the Bureau some provision should be made
by the Congress for him to be designated as perhaps Director Emeritus and
given funds for a staff, office space and the like, and access to whatever
materials he needed to develop his memoirs which would contain material
which the Director is now precluded from giving the public the benefit of.
It was pointed out to Becker that the Director on numerous occa
sions has indicated he has no intention of retiring or leaving the Bureau and
although I was sure the Director would appreciate the Congressman's interest
and the thought they are giving to recognizing the Director in this way, that
additionally there would be other factors that would have to be considered, such
as statutes restricting the utilization of certain information coming into his
possession as a result of his position in the Bureau restricting dissemination
of certain types of information. Becker was quick to point out that neither he
1 nor Congressman Slack intended to imply or in any way indicate, that the
Director should give any consideration to leaving his current post unless he
·1 wanted to do so when and how it might suit him and not these freaky detractors
\ that are peddling some of the garbage that they are concerning the Bureau and
\the Director.
Becker stated he would appreciate getting any indication he could
for the Congressman with regard to this matter and if we had any alternatives
to oroo .. se the Comrressman would be aooreciative of receivin11: them. .. ... ..... - -----... -... ----------- -- --------~ --------
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Becker he advised that we appreciate the
thought,

! We, the members of the Legal In-Service Class, wish to
express to you our thanks for making this training possible. Your
insight into the problems of our times gives us, as attorneys, the
opportunity to stay abreast of the law and be aware of the most recent
trends in the field. With this unique legal training, we will be able
to instruct, counsel, and advise the Special Agents in our respective
field offices. We will also be able to train police departments in L~e
highly complex problems in criminal law.
The format for this In-Service has been most demanding,
but extremely rewarding, and we are grateful for your insight. It has
given us the opportunity to use the Justice Department Library and
read material not readily available in the field. The instruction by
I Inspectors Dalbey and Donelan, Special Agents Hotis, Mintz, and
'Williamson has been of the highest caliber and will be invaluable in
·maintaining the FBl's pre-eminence in the legal field.

Mohr, Callahan, Bishop, Jenkins for Casper, Conrad, DeLoach, Felt, Gale,
Rosen, Moore for Sullivan, Tavel, and McDaniel for Trotter, was advised that
SAC Johnson of the Chicago Office in a letter to Assistant to the Director Mohr
~ recommended that the FBIRA or the Society of Former Special Agents consider
having a J. Edgar Hoover commemorative medal designed and produced for
1 sale to present,to former employees and friends of the Bureaµ. Johnson indicated
1 that if the FBIRA felt it should not be involved in this endeavor, he was sure
that the Society of Former Special Agents, which is holding its annual convention ' in Chicago commencing 10-9-69, would be happy to undertake this project. , I Mr. Tolson raised a question about cost. Mr. Hoover noted on this communicatior
''I am disinclined to have this done."
Dit;creet inquiry was made of Mr. William T. Louth, President, Medallic
~ Art Company, one of the leading companies in this field to ascertain the costs

This medal is 4 inches in diameter and is of gold-plated bronze for which we pay

class whu merits receiving it. These medals have been presented by the Director

Mr. Louth of Medallic Art Company adrtsed it cost~ aniavu~e~f ~01:1

ExecutiveE Conference Memorandum
Re: Commemorative Medal Honoring the Director
price on•' '1e cost of the platinum medal. A 4" diameter gold medal would c~t
$1875 anti3 2 1/2" diameter gold medal would cost $390. He advised they are
prohibited from producing any gold medals for resale. He quoted the following
prices on 1000 silver medals but pointed out this would be as of 9-22-69 only,
as the price of silver fluctuates --2 1/2" diameter, $18.20 each; 3" diameter,
$31.40 each; and 4" diameter, $50.00 each. To purchase 1000 medals in bronze
tht: prices for the 2 1/2", 3" and 4" diameter would be $2. 50, $3. 50 and $5. 50 each.
If 10,000 were obtained the prices would drop to $1.90, $2.50, and $4.25 each.
Each medal comes in a separate box. For an additional 50~ each they are supplied
in a larger box containing a small metal stand.
I To purchase 1000 medals in.~JRriilated bronze, the prices for the 2 1/2",
3" and 4" diameter would be $4.5o/and'fl0.00 each. No quote was available on
10, 000 lots.
It was pointed out to the conference that it would be possible to obtain a 4"
gold medal for presentation to the Director, however that would be the only one
obtainable under the prohibitions against producing gold medals for resale. It
was felt that there would be a heavy demand for these medals in the bronze or
gold-plated bronze and apparently the Society of Former Special Agents would
be interested in considering undertaking having this medal produced at their behest.
). The majority of L'le corJerence v-'itili the exceptions of Messrs. Tolson and
DeLoach recommended that SAC Johnson be authorized to approach his contacts in th
Society of Former Special Agents to ascertain their interest in undertaking this
project should the Director approve.
\ Mr. Tolson did not feel any further action should be taken conceming this
project at the present time.
Mr. De Loach pointed out that he was absolutely in favor of commemorating
tht: Director's name in any way possible; that, however some projects by the very
nature of their makeup and physical attractiveness might not be financially successf\
and therefore be embarrassing to the Director. He felt that a medallion produced
and sold by the Ex-Agents Society could be a case in point. -· The Society some years ago presented the Director with a large, attractive
r bust. Smaller busts were sold through the Society with profits going to the sculptor
\ ~~~:d~3~~oi~~i!!otii~o Bu~';~: ~:e:~;1~·~::~ ~~;tR~ !!~~~~~::~;~~
by the sculptor. This was no detraction from the Director's prestige, but simply
a lack of desire for any type bust of anyone. ,),,

Executiv<'& Conference Memorandum
Re: ComJ11emorative Medal Honoring the Director
Mr. DeLoach also brought up the thought that despite the great respect
the majority of ex -Agents have for the Director, some of them might resent an
initial outlay of $2,000 for casting of the die or model of the medallion; that,
considering the fact that profits might not bring in expected revenue, the project
might be embarrassing. He also mentioned that some ex-Agents might privately
rei;ent expending initial funds for the project so soon after presenting the Director
the aforementioned bust.
Respectfully,
For the Conference

ha~ advised me that in the research which be bas conducted
ne has learned that no such medal honoring Director Hoover
na~ been struck. It bas occurred to us that this is a
Ivery definite honor which should be afforded the Director
as h~ is certainly accepted as the greatest living A-rican.
We :nerefore suggest that consideration be given by the
FBIR'. in having a J. Edgar Hoover Co-e•orative Medal designed
anc after approved struck.
The limited research which we have been able to
do \i;a.rticularly SA Shea) has determined that Ralph J. !!enccn1,
Medallic Art Company, Pleasantville, New York, bas designed
several of the Presidential •edals including the recent officially
reco~nized President Nixon •edal. Be bas also designed a quality
Apollo 11 medal and has been in charge of the President Art
Pr ;.'am including such series as the Presidential Series, The
St•.•~nood Series, The Signers of the Declaration of Independence
Se1 as, etc. llenconi's works are considered to be superior
in ;culpturing detail. His works are distributed by Presidential
Ar~ ~edals, Inc., 10 West National Road, Englewood, Ohio.
Another outstanding distributor of aedals is the
Frarklin Mint, Yeadon, Pennsylvania, which it is our understanding
is d~stributing a Years of the Union Series- end a.Stater el ~

if at would be sponsored by the FBIRA nationally. If so,
we CErtainly are agreeable to any of your desires. We
fee! that the minting of a limited serialized edition; of
eac.c of the above would be appropriate as I aa sure that
every employee, past eaployee, and close friends of the
Burecu would want one. I think, however, it should be a
lim:ted edition. We further suggest that four cold or
platinum medals be struck, one for presentation to the
Dir~ctor, one for presentation to the President of the
United States, one for the Smithsonian Institute, and one
for •~Y auseum of the Director's choice. We feel the
meca· should, of course, feature Director Hoover with the
FBI k-ea l on the reverse side. We feel that this would be an
&pJi:r-·priate honor for the Director and would be soaething
tha~ all of us could cherish during the years to ccae and
would be soaething that would be passed down to an eaployee'a
chi:dren.
I aa writing you this informal letter for your
obst.rvations. If you do not think it is a Sood idea, we
of c?urse, will not proceed further.
One further tbought--if you think the idea
is a good one, but feel the FBIRA should not be involved,
I am sure that the Ex-Agents Association, which is holding its annual ~onvention in Chica«o comaencin« 10/9/69, would
lbe bappy to assume this project. We, however, would auch
pre!~r that the FBIRA nationally or the FBIRA, Chicaco handle
thir'1ft'oject.
I would appreciate your thinking. If there is
any~~ing that I can do to be of assistance to you here 1n
Chicago, just let ae know. ~ , Sincerely,

APPROPRIATION PHRASEOLOGY
REGARDING DIRECTOR'S SALARY --$42,500
Reference is made to my memorandum captioned as above dated
4-2-69, which is attached, advising the Budget Bureau was incorporating
in Lhe amendment the Director's new salary rate of $42, 500 in lieu of the
$30, 000 presently contained in such language when they transmitted the
amended i970 appropriation request to Congress. The Director stated, "This
rn<!kes it <;ubject to a 'point of order' in either House. H."
W!. !e discussing other matters with Jay Howe on the aternoon of 4-3-69
I inquired of Jay Howe as to the vulnerability of the proposed language being
forwarde:i i.JY the Budget Bureau making it subject to a point of order and Howe
advised t;><ct inasmuch as the amount stated by the Budget Bureau of $42,500
is the san1e as that provided in the basic legislation, that is the Federal Executive
Pay Act as recently amended, that it would eliminate it as being subject to a
pui at of order.
Howe stated it could only be stricken on a point of order were the Budget
'Bureau or the Committee to insert a figure that was in excess of the $42,500
provided for in the basic legislation.
The above is submi,tted for information.

APPROPF.L>\ T!ON PHRASEOL-OGY
REGARDING DIRECTOR'S SALARY --$42,500
J •;hn Kaminski, the Budget Officer for the Department, telephonically
C'·mtactc·d the writer last night and stated that in connection with the
amenru .. ent to the 1970 appropriation request being forwarded to the Congress,
~i:he Bur1"'1U of the Budget was incorporating in the amendment the Director's
new sala_ r y rate of $42, 500 in lieu of the $30, 000 presently contained in such
languap'
I contacted Ben Tryck at the Bureau of the Budget with whom Kaminski
fi.c.d dii-•: .issed this and learned from Tryak that the technicians at the Bureau
of the ~·-c'.get with regard to appropriation language and phraseology have an
<--'.;reer: ,£.nt with the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee that any
phrast ->l . gy changes should be submitted formally by the Bureau of the Budget
t0 :he A'1tTonriations Committee and this would include such items as the new I sala;y . ,:~e ~f the oi-re-ctor of $42 ,5oo :-A~co;dillg to Try ck~ the President's
I''' ~ssa.rc transmitting the amended budget is scheduled to go forward to the
Appropr· <...tions Committee on Monday morning, April 14, and in the package

as the :-c 815, 000 authorized for intensifying the organized crime investigative
'p··ug· ~r" l 6 , ~ .. 1.
Y'Ju will recall that I arranged with Jay Howe previously so that the l new salary rate of the Director has been corrected on the Committee print of
our appropriation bill; ha.vever, Jn light of the understanding between the

,l HJl.l I SALARIES OF FBI DIRECTOR AND I 0
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR , ,J-. ~ I'_ ,_~~
The .urjmary legislation establishing the basis~~~ fixing the salaries
of the Director and Mr. Tolson is Public Law 88-426, approved 8-14-64, effec
tive 7-5-64, known as the Federal Executive Salary Act of 1964. It established
5 sal.< ry levels with the Director being included in Level II, with salary at that
time of $30, 000 per annum. The specific designation was, "Director of the
Fede1 al Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, so long as the position
is he.d by the present incumbent: Provided, That thereafter the position shall
be plared in level III." The position of Mr. Tolson was included in Level m
at $28 500 per annum, which de&ignation was as follows: Associate Director
of tht Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, so long as the
posit ~1..·:i is held by the present incumbent: Provided, That thereafter the posi
tion Fhall be placed in level IV." Public Law 90-206, approved December 16,
1967. established a Commission to be known as the Commission on Executive,
Legislative and Judicial Salaries and established a method of setting the rates
of exe<..utive salaries. The Commission submits its recommendations to the
President who, in turn, includes in his next budget message his recommenda
tions :oi.s to the exact rates of pay he deems advisable. The President's recom
menda:ions become effective 30 days thereafter unless in that period either
house of Congress specifically disapproves any or all of them, or a statute
has betn enacted into law establishing different rates of pay. As a result of
this pn•cedure revised rates for the 5 executive salary levels become effective
the fir st pay period after February 14, 1969, which will be February 23, for
'1he FBI. The new rate for Level II in which the Director's position is listed
}increases to $42, 500 and Level ID in ~hich Mr. Tolson's p0sition is listed
~ncreases to $40, 000. HEC-1.J,_; , ,

The next incumbent of the Director's posifion-would ~~omiiensa~d lat the rate for Level m which will be $40, 000 per anntinS;p.,d ibe ~ incum-1 bent ur-M!'. Tolson's position would be compensated at the rate for Level wi,1
which will be $38, 000 per annum.

Memp• •ndum to Mr. Mohr
Re: j<..la.ries of FBI Director and Associate Director
With regard to the Director's salary being reflected as $30,000
'per annum in the appropriation phraseology for the FBI, this is secondary
language to that contained in the primary authority of the Federal Executive
Salary Act of 1964 and the statute establishing the Commission on executive
salaries; thus, even if t rough error or other erroneous devel ment the
amount shown in the appropria ion nguage is no c nge it w d have no I \;rfect on the Director's salary in view of the overriding authority of the
}Primary statutes.
Nonetheless, we are following closely with Jay Howe, Clerk j of our Appropriation Subcommittee to insure that the new salary rate of
( $42, 500 will appear in the final committee print. The Director's salary
\ check which will be dated 3-21-69, will be at the new salary rate of
·~_2.500_._ ~ ...... ~ ....,......_

EXEMPTION OF DIRECTOR FROM r-~::.:x4--'
COMPULSORY RETIREMENT FOR AGE 4· .. ~.::.~.._.
The Civil Service Retirement Act provides tha7 ~ee who
shall have attained the age of 70 years and completed 15 years of service
shall be automatically separated from the service and also provides for the
immediate re-employment of such a.i-wuita.1ts who st.all serve at ti~e wi.11 of
the appointing officer. Under the Act the President may, by Executive Order,
exempt from automatic separation any employee when, in his judgment, the
public interest so requires. This authority was, except for Presidential
appointees, delegated to the Civil Service Commission by Executive Order
10682 dated October 22, 1956, which has been superseded by Executive
Order 11228 dated June 14, 1965.
AlL'lough tJ1e Director was not a Presidential appointee, President
John.!>on exercised his authority to make an exemption from the mandatory
retirement regulations and issued Executive Order 11154 on May 8, 1964,
providing that ''Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that
Mr. Hoover be exempted from such compulsory retirement: Now therefore ...
I hereby exempt J. Edgar Hoover from compulsory retirement for age for
an indefinite period of time." It is to be noted; however, that had the Director
been retired on 1-1-65 it would have been necessary for the then Attorney
Ge11t'.t d.l to recommend t1is reappoL1tment. On 5=8=54 when t'ie President
issuc:;.i his Executive Order, Robert F. Kennedy was tbe bitQrp~,.9~~~~1 •. _

The Civil Service Commission advised tpat th~fm <eti'f~tive"
Order 11154 was to continue the Director as an acti~e Federal emPJoyee and

Commission with the employing agency paying the employee the difference

that, "There shall be deducted and withheld from each employee's basic salary
an amount equal to 6! per 'centum of such basic salary ..• " My memorandum
to yuu of May 12, 1964, reported tlallt~ connection with Executive Order 1115~ I Mr. David F. Lawton, Deputy Director, Bureau of Retirement and lnsurlYlfe,

Pages 107 through 113 of the Committee print of the State, Justice,

reflects that it is $30, 000 per annum. This salary rate will increase to $42, 500
p{,r annum 2/23/69.
I spoke with Jay Howe, Clerk of our Subcommittee, as to
having the new salary rate of $42, 500 per annum reflected in the language
of this ap~riation bill and he suggested the simplest way would be for him
lo do so on the Committee print before it goes to the printer after hearings
have been completed by substituting the new salary rate of $42, 500 per annum
and the bill is being readied for reporting out of the Appropriations Committee.
In the interim, the figure of $30, 000 would remain. , · _ t"/ / -

REQUJi;ST FOR EXECUTION OF FORM SHOWING ~c•\r '"
PERSONAL HISTORY INFORMATION REGARDING
THE DIRECTOR, MR. TOLSON, MR. MOHR AND MR. BELMONT.
On the morning of 7-26-65, Jack Adler, First Assistant in the Administrative
Division of the Department, called Inspector E. W. Walsh of your office stating that John
Macy, advisor to too President on personnel matters, had requested forms showing persom
history-ty~ jn{ormation~ ~:~~ted on,R~ftain officials in the Department including the
Director, Mr:-1Tblson, Mr.: and ~. peliReat. The form is captioned "Fact lbeet on
Non-Presidential-Appointiv'e POiicy and S~porting Positions." Form also calls for infol'm
tion on each position. According to the Department, the request was made in a letter from
Macy to The Attorney General of 7-22-65 in which Macy stated the President had asked him
to make a study on the staffing structure and policy in the Executive Branch including infor·
mation on too background and qualification of the incumbents. According to the Departmen1
this appears to tie in with the President's general desire to insure that top positions are
staffed with the best available talent which bas been receiving recent publicity.
I A general review of the form shows that it calls only for rather basic informa-! , tion including date appointed to present position, years' Federal service, education (degree
t held and major field), principal positions held and intentions as to duration of employment I ·if known. With respect to information on each position, the form calls for such as title, gra•
i . and salary, type of appointment, and a brief description of position. Adler initially men-
! tioned that he thought the Department had enough information to execute a form for the .! Director and that the Bureau need only execute forms for Messrs. Tolson, Mohr and Belml
··.I,· .. RAdEICeOrMwMasEaNdDvAisTledOtNha: t the Bureau felt it more .a,ppr~opriate to execute a, form_f,/o~r. the Direct· ; also, with which Adler agreed. . . ,. .,
, 1.1-· .J'./
l\l.C \4! /'
That we proceed to gather information necessary to execute forms applicable tc
: the Director, Mr-Xolson, Mr. Mohr and Mr. Belmont. The executed forms will be sent

THE DIRECTOR, MR. TOLSON, MR. MOHR AND MR. BELMONT.
My memorandum of 7-26-65 noted that on the morning of that day, Jack Adler,
First Assistant in the Administrative Division in the Department, called Inspector E. W.
Walsh of your office stating that John Macy, advisor to the President on personnel matter l had requested execution of forms showing person,aj.~-tµp y-typ~_ii:"'·~a!ion on~e~;

which Macy stated the President had asked him to make a study on the staffing structure

tions of the incumbents. According to the Department, this appears to tie in with the
President's general desire to insure top positions are staffed with the best available talen
I which has been .receiving some publicity. Ji was approved that we gather information l I . ·ecessary to execute the forms and that the executed forms be sent through for approval
before dispatch to th~ Department.
Enclosed is a proposed letter to Adler in the Department transmitting forms in
11. . .• iplicate, as requested, applicable to the Director, Mr. Tolson, Mr. Mohr and l Mr. Belmont. Part I of the form shows position information and part II shows incumbent
I, 1formation (personal history type). D: ts noted that item 10 of part I calls for a brief I·. -_. description of the duties of each position and also calls for experience and training requir
. J., is believed desirable to make the point here that for years the FBI has had a compreher
sive, competitive, long-range executive development program to provide the FBI with
l .. xecutives, its primary theme being that every executive must work bis way up through
' the ranks of the FBI and that this policy has been found to be both logical and necessary.
Accordingly, the reports concerning positions occupied by Mr. Tolson, Mr. Mohr and
IMr. Belmont co"il&in information on this point. It is not believed appropriate to include
such information in th~ iorIP. pertaining to the Di.recto~ position since the Director ls

Memorandum Davidson to Callahan
Re: Request for Execution of Form Showing
Personal History Information Regarding (
The Director, Mr. Tolson, Mr. Mohr and Mr. Belmont.
Item 15, part II, calls for showing date appointed to present position, for
example, 5-10-24 in the Director's case. Then item 23, part II, calls for principal
offices held prior to present position. Forms have been executed accordingly.
Item 24, part II, calls for showing intentions as to duration of employment
(if known). Instructions forwarded to us bv the Deoartment for executinl!: the forms state r I that item. 24 is to be filled in if plans for the near r"uture win result in ti; positions becon
· ir.g vacant. Accordingly, this item is not filled in on any of our completed forms. Item :
t l I part II, calls for signature of submitting official. Instructions state signature is to be by
the agency official responsible for the information submitted. Since the information was
requested by Macy of the Department and will be forwarded to him by the Department, tbJ
, I is being left blank for signature by the Department.
\ RECOMMENDATION:
That enclosed proposed letter be approved forwarding to Adler in the Depart
ment forms executed in triplicate on the Director, Mr. Tolson, Mr. Mohr and Mr. Belm

INQUIRY RE DIRECTOR'S RETIREMENT ANNUITY
PAUL HONEYCUTT -INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE SuUlvan ---Tav•l--
Trott•r __
Tele. Rou1t -
Holmes __
Gimch--
Paul Honeycutt of the Pension-Trust Branch, Internal Revenue Service,
telephoned the Bureau 12-17-64 requesting information as to such provision of law as
permits the Director to retire with a $30, 000 tax-free annuity.
Honeycutt explained to SA w. E. Clark that a letter from a constituent of
Senator Mansfielcfs to the Senator requesting clarification of this matter had been refern
to Honeycutt for handling. Honeycutt told Clark he did not believe the Civil Service
Retirement Act covered the situation and he wished to know what did. Clark told Honeyc
he would call him back in this regard 12-18-64.
In the meantime, Crime Records Division was handling a similar inquiry
from Walter H. Schultz, Chicago, and had prepared a memorandum (copy attached)
citing the relevant statutes and an outgoing letter to Schultz 12-18-64 based on these
citations, for the signature of Miss Gandy. After checking with Crime Records Division
Clark called Honeycutt 12-18-64 and utilized the contents of the Crime Records
memorandum. Honeycutt was informed of the 1960 law giving the Director an annuity
on retirement equal to his salary at time of retirement; and of the 1964 law which
increased the Director's salary from $22, 000 to $30, 000 a year. Honeycutt's attention
was also directed to the fact that Federal employees on retiring do not pay Federal
income tax on their annuities until after they have received an amount equal to what
they put into the retirement fund. Honeycutt indicated familiarity with this provision.
HE COMMENDATION: :i? None, for i9formation and record.

a p1.-.r.~ .,;ial intervie\\'. What follows here is the

l By JERRY O'LEARY, JR.
\ Washington, Sept. 12-ln the 40 years J. Ed1] 1 Hoove• has been director of the Federal Bureau o
Jnvestigation, a rather severe and remote imag
has grown up around the man who is the very
bol of the war against criminals, subversives and
spies
~ Unrelenting though he is against the enemies
I f the law and the republic, Hoover outside his of
ice is an affable, outgoing man with a gift of near
Y total recall about the evenr. and adventures of
his life · ~ He emerges as a basically old-fashioned ma ·
with a deep regard for long-time friends, a tast
in l>terature, art and drama that was fully-forme
f. his young manhood, and an orrterly set of habits
at arr.ount to a regimen.
I :~uld be vacuous to believe that Hoover

Amer• ca today. He is certainly aware that million~

of the Victorians. J
At 69 and apparently slated to be director of
I the FBI as long as he wants to be, Hoover is the
picture of vigorous health, looking and feeling at
least 20 years younger.
''I'm getting ready to go to the La Jolla Med
ical Clinic in La Jolla, Cal., soon for the physical
examination l take there every year," he said. "I
got a better reading last year than I did the year
~>efore that." · J The mantoda.Y_filands six feet tal[,exceedingl.
rect, with a barrel-chest build and shm legs rem1
iscent of Babe Ruth's. There is still only a sugges
tion of gray at the temples of his dark hair. His
face is full and florid. He wears glasses for read-
ing.
His mind is unquestionably as sharp as it was
\the day he took over the FBI in May, 1924. He does
less traveling now because his world-renowned or
ganization has grown so large that administrati·1··.
duties tie him to the desk.
f~ Hoover, who has never married, lives in
. elatively modest house on the western slope f
ock Creek Park. His cooking and cleaning are
aken care of by a housekeeper who has been with
him for more than 12 years. J An ordinary day in the life of J. Edgar Hoover
1s likely to follow long-set patterns. He is up before
7 A. M. after seven hours of dreamless slumber~
more often than not interrupted by at Jeast 3eVeralJI
calls from one of his assistants on a case in the
"hot" category.
~ He is likely to make or receive more calls be·
fore and during hreakfast. Invariably, this consists
,Pf fruit, bacon, toast, eggs, and coffee.
l The FBI chauffeur picks him up by 8 A.M. and
he always stops by to call for Associate FBI Direc
tor Clycie A. Tolson on the way downtown. Hoover
laughingly pointed to Tolson during the interview
(and said: I
· __ :_we call him_'Slugger' Tolson because 1
the lime we were raiding a vice den in Baltimor
lrnd Clyde arrested a veritable giant of a man. H
was handcuffed to the fellow goini:: down the stairs
when suddenly the man began fighting. Before we
could mtervene, we saw a fist rise out of the melee
and strike once. K necked the fellow silly in one
punch."
.~ Tolson smiled tolerantly as one does when the
9oss tells an anecdote on him. i
i The two old friends, ii the day is clement, ge
11ut somewhere near the White House and wal I the rest of the way to the £)31 headquarters at Nin
street and Pennsylvania- a~enue N. W. _ .

Do many ·people recognize him or &top him
on the street?
t "Not too many," said Hoover. "There is one
old fellow who pops out of the bushes sometimes
[when I walk by. He's been doing it for years. They
can't seem to keep him in Gallinger (D. C. Gened
Hospital).
"He's harmless enough. Insists that he has
see me. I told him the first time that I refuse to di5

DATE: 5-14-64
SUBJECT: PUBLIC RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT'S /l
WAIVER OF DIRECTOR'S RETIREMENT {/J l · . ..± ~dJ!tY nuuVtY Hol-•--
~
The 5-12-64 issue of the "New York Daily News" reilected that ''The
Inquiring Fotographer" column by Jimmy Jemail asked the question ''ShouU President
Johnson have waived the compulsory retirement of FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover at the
age of 70?" This question was asked of six men along 5th Avenue of whom two felt
the President should not have acted as he did.
Howard A. Fishman, identified as an accowitant of West 43rd Street,
felt that anyone aged 70 should retire. He obviously based his reasoning solely on
the question of age and had nothing against the Director personally as evidenced
by his remark that "there must be several men in the FBI who could carry on in
the same brilliant and efficient way." Bufiles contain no references identifiable
with F'1shman.
Julius Giller, identified as an executive of West 44th Street, stated:
'"No.J. Edgar Hoover should have retired years ago. I'm a strong advocate of new
blood in any enterprise. In the case of Hoover, he has developed deep-rooted
prejudices over the years to the point where no one can altjer his YieWllQint ~-. __ .
