number of break-ins conducted by the FBI prior to 1966? »
248. I think that is the precise figure. I do not know
an-u|n.a|i
where that figure came from. I would have to go back to4 Mr._Wanna1l. Prior to 1966 there has been a figure of _. "ea-~1-.vmwn-illllcrwvmemlllvm-nouns m
the man that I have assigned to this particular area to '
verify if we in fact can say we made 248. '
I
Mr. Vermeire. out of those 248,-how many of those break~
ins were conducted on American citizens?
Mr. Wannall. I don't know. I do know that we hadfeither
14 or 17 targeis of domestic organizations. Jwf
iUil
There were numerous surreptitious entries in the
case of some of those organizations which runs the figure
up much higher than the total number of targets. _
Records were not maintained. The system was devised.
I think perhaps we had talked about this before, that if
the recommendation was made it was made a record in our
field office file after authorization. It was maintained
for a year because we have an inspection of each of our
offices each year and the inspector has access to everything.
If he found in the files information that was unaccounted
J
for, the special agent in charge could say "Here is my
authorization." After that process, the record was
destroyed.

Insofar as their engineering of the ¬o~ea]1ed
tape situation, I know no more about that thm
whit I read in the paper and presumably what' 92 t
you know. I do know, however, that our two
orgdnizntions york very closely together. I
had a meeting not-long with the Director
of CIA and we reached a complete agreement as
to our separate jurisdictions, there are no-
coniiicts whatsoever, We work well together,
and I assure you that there

of our eooperntire spirits between us, that v
will work well together in the future.

- I appreciate the onnortunitv of returning to Fl -FIT ' J _ J
my old alma mater here at the University of Kansas. I've
always been proud of my Jayhawker degree of 1936. Why
shouldn't I? I can think of no better school throughout
this Nation for a young man or woman to attend. I am
proud to be an alumnus'of this great institution...and
I'm proud of its students and faculty members.
1936 is a long time ago...and thinking back
to my student days here in Lawrence brings back nostalgic
memories.
I recently read an interesting article by Dick
Russell about myself in the Kansas Alumni and I discovered
some of the things I did in those days: that I "rodded"
around campus in a blue convertible called "Bluebird" we
probably had all the gasoline we wanted then!: that I
downed nearbeer and hard-boiled eggs with the best of
._
them at Hillside Pharmacy at 9th and Indiana: that I was
called "Chief" because my jutting jaw looked so much like
the Indian on Big Chief school tablets.
And maybe there are a few other things Dick Russell
didn't print. , '
For a few minutes today I want to talk to you -

Perhaps you have seen recent mention in the
press about the FBI and its policies on internal security
and by internal security we mean our efforts to protect
you and other Americans from-the foreign spy, the saboteur,
the urban guerrilla, the terrorist. The media has recently

an FBI term relating to certain aspects of internal security.
When we~talk about internal security, the FBIs
0
position and my position personally - is that we must
never allow any subversive group of terrorists or individuals
advocating violence to bring this great Nation to its knees.
I am confident that you too agree with me. America must
be ready, able, and willing, at all times, as a democratic
nation, to protect its own integrity, independence and
freedoms. No terrorist group, or organization threatening
violence, should ever be allowed to subvert our historic
Q
principles of free government. ¢
The FBI's position is to forthrightly, honestly,
and within the bounds of our laws, protect our country from
the predatory attacks of those who are not bound by legal
scruples or by loyalty to our country. This has always been
the FBI's position. It'is the FBI's position today. It
will be the F3l's position as long as I remain as'Director.

In considering the FBI's adtions in protecting
92 ._ our society, we must recall the 1960's, when this
Nation experienced a period of extreme;socia1 unrest
and phy ical violence. We well remember the riots both
on the streets and on the campuses. Academic buildings
-mere seized, administrative personnel kidnaped, entire
universities brought to a halt. From coast to coast this
violence became a threat to the integrity of our institutions.n
These were the days of the planting of bombs in
military installations, in office buildings, even on campuses.
Manuals setting forth instructions for the making and
planting of bombs circulated.

!' In this atmosphere of unrest, extremist groups
of various types were active. They hated our government
and our democratic liberties. They were interested
i in destruction and injuring this country. Nothing could
have pleased them more than to have rendered this i
'Nation incapable of resolute and effective action for
its own defense. _
Into FBI headquarters and field offices day

' What can be done to meet this extremist challenge? What
steps should be taken to protect the rights, lives and _

h As a result of this crisis in the 1960's
~ ! early 1970's, the FBI instituted a program calledand
"cointelpro" which is an abbreviation which simply means
m "counterintelligence program." This program was apositive
It was
i designed to bring under control and weaken extremist
N groups; such as the Students for a Democratic Society
the Weatherman and other revolutionary organizations,'and
, to protect the rights of innocent citizens. The gospell 3 .
92{ of violent revolution and insurrection had to be halted.
I If permitted to proliferate, it could seriously jeopardize
our constitutional system of government. '
_ Now, I was not in the FBI at the time this
counterintelligence program was operating. However, I
the'feelings of the FBI and the Government. can well understandI the motivation behind "cointelpro" stemmed I am convinced that
from a sincere and patriotic desire to protect our government
and our democratic principles. "

The main point is that the.FBI, the governmental
agency responsible for protecting our internal security,
at a moment of crisis did not stand idly by and allow our
/" F
freedoms to be jeopardized. It took positive action. It
could be justifiably criticized if it had not moved

I agree with a statement by Chief Justice Vinsonnnav-92r I-'|'921"n:l+92Jll§l»I-J 92-lib 92-Wdbl
in a 1951 Supreme Court ruling. Justice Vinson wrote:
' " Obviously, the words cannot mean
that before the Government may act, it
must wait until the putsch is about to
be executed, the plans have been laid
and the signal is awaited."
In intelligence work you must be anticipatory
l in your judgment. The FBI simply cannot wait until the
terrorist or the extremist - the individual whose allegiance
is to violence - strikes before we act. Counterintellfgence
means staying abreast of these hostile groups which want to
destroy our free institutions.
This means that the FBI must, if it is to fulfill its

Today we find conflicting voices. Some people
think primarily in terms of protecting society...and say
that individual rights must be chipped, cut back, reduced.
Others say there is too much emphasis on protecting
community rights to the detriment of individual liberties.
- Each of these arguments, in my opinion, possesses
merit...yet neither contains the full and final truth.
Somewhere in the middle - in the happy medium .
there must be a blending of the two viewpoints.
The whole history of America ever since theays
of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 has been this
give~and-take, this dialogue between these two essential
viewpoints. w _ _
Can we ever arrive at a final, permanent position..

by the NCIC Advisory Policy ioard. Those safeguards are
quite restrictive, For example, they provide that no
inquiries can be made_intoIte Data Bank except by
criminal justice agencies. They provide that the informa-
tion disseminated can be made only to criminal justice
agencies for criminal justice purposes unless a Federal
or_state law provides for further use such as in employmen
checks. -T am please to tell you that the NCIC is serving
all 50 states, including Computerized History Activities
For example the Massachusetts State Police traffic in
October was more than 2,000 messages per day. The Boston
P0lice"Departmcnt traffic in October was almost 300
messages per day and we're pleased to renQcr this service
to the State of Massachusetts.

But still Governor Sargeant'is highly critical of it.
Are you aware of his'criticism? Could it become nation-

Mr. Kelley, can you give us an approximate number of

their use in national security? -
There are relegations made in the report of the FBI
about the total, and I do not respond to such a thing
for at this time frankly because I don't know what the
Q .
total is and would be reluctant until the final tally
is made to give reports. Now insoier as categories,
we have two categories, one of which is the socalled

result of the provisions of Title 3 of the Omnibus
Crime Bill, and the second that is concerned Qith
foreign intelligence.
Mr. Kelley, when you arrivee at the FBI, did you find

about that perhaps the Agency should not have been

further developments of the Watergate hearings progress.
But I frankly at this point, although I have heard some
things, just cannot give you a substantial and accurate
response as to that. V ,I
Mr. Kelley, do you have any Blacks or other minorities,__
on your staff at the FBI right now? Inaudible!
MR.'KELLEY: We have approximately 8,500 Agents, 12,000 clerical
' personnel, BB Black hqents, 1,700 and I believe 87
Black clerical employees. You asked, a question which
of course is asked police departments and other agencies
92and is rightfully asked. There should be more and there
are efforts made to have more now. I cannot explain
why it was not done before.. I do agree that we should
have more. I cannot set any particular percentage
. - 92
because I'd say that I consider the members of the E
Black community of substantial value, of equal capability,

Mr. Kelley, there's been a sensational communique in
this area in which a white woman was put to death by
torch by black youths. The FBI most enrapidly saying
that a Federal law has been violated. There were,

This was a basis for discrimination in housing. In
that particular case we conducted an extensive
investigation and I want to say we worked very closelyI vi
the Boston Police Department. We worked hand in hand

Mr. Kelley, Vice President Agnew resigned his office-.gu-I"" -9
because of things that came to light about his career
when he was Governor. Should not the FBI have started
those things in screening him for the post in the first
place, or did they and nothing came of it? ~
Elected officials are not investigated bythe FBI.
Mr. Ford is an appointed Vice President and that's the
reason why he was investigated. But Hr. Agnew wasnot I i
andinvestigated prior to the time that he was nominated
elected. ' . _ P-

in the country at a time when we see other crime*
statistics leveling off. And I believe it can be
attributed to the ready availability of handguns,
and I do not believe that the solution to the gun
problem is to be found in different laws in each
of the 50 states. I strongly believe that we need
Federal gun enforcement because it's next to
impossible to have effective enforcement with
different laws applying in different states.
So my View and I think and I hOpQ increasingly
the view of people of state and local law enforce-
ment is that the safety of police officers as well as
the safety of our citizens dictates that we do whet
every other developed country of the world has done,
and that is to impose reasonably strict controls on
handguns. ,
I subscribe to gun control and have repeatedly feltV " ' """
that our most pressing problem today is to get rid of
the Saturday Night Special socallee because it is a
throwaway gun which is many times thrown away after

QXTQUESTIOH: Do you have any idea of how this problem can be attacked?
Yes, it can be attacked by proper Federal legislation
which makes it illegal to sell or distribute these
weapons throughout the United States. There can be
also some legislation regarding the holding of a gun.
Yes, restrictive legislation can be a way to handle it.
will the FBI back such legislation?
They will. - -

How can the public he assured that in the future the

I was asked that question yesterday when I talked with MR . 1I1'JI.I.EY :
the editorial staff of one of our newspapers. I think
_ that the best way is for the Senate Judiciary Committee
in reviewing candidates for confirmation to make sure
that they have chosen the proper person. and one of
the main faults of any organisation is the man on top.
c And I think that they should be extremely careful to
make sure that he does not bow to political pressures:
that he does not do things which would tend to
_ diminish the effectiveness of the organisation.
You can set up rules, regulations; you can pass laws,
but basically, it rests on the character of the'man
who was chosen to head it, particularly does that
apply to the FBI where perhaps such an authoritarian
- figure for so many years, and it is_such a well-
92
disciplined organization, and although the Agent
personnel would not just blindly follow, there is
a general tendency to at least go along. Therefore,

Mr. Campbell, again. _ .
I think I caught most of thht question. The FBI
endorses formalizing the safeguarés that now exist
through the passage*of Federal legislation. Such
legislation is presentl; being drafted by the
U. S. Degertment of Justice. Does that answer your
question?
lnaudible!
well; I'm not at libertv to detail the legislation
at this point. I believe one of the facets of your
question involved dispositions of arrests? Yes, I
can say that it's very possible. though the legisla-
tion is still in draft stage, that it may contain
provisions that perhaps along that line. I have
I
requested an appointment with Governor Snrgeant to_
discuss HCIC, hopefully to remove some of the misunder~
standings that apparently exist, some of which are
based on misinformation. '

Memorandum to Mr. T. W. Leavitt
Re: Surreptitious Entries
66-8l6Q J"
92
DETAILS:
On 4/13/76, INTD canvassed each field office for
documents similar to the SAC Folders dealing with entries
located in the New York Office. The SAC Folders contained
a number of memoranda showing requests and approvals to
conduct entries. The 4/13/76 survey, however, did not
specifically include a review of symbol number indexes as
part of the instruction to locate documents relating to
entries.
On 7/8/76, Deputy Associate Director {Investigation}
James B. Adams noted that in connection with INTD inquiries
into matters concerning surreptitious entries performed by
Bureau personnel, all field offices had not been canvassed
with instructions to review informant symbol number indexes
for evidence of entry activity.
As in the case of technical, microphone and live
sources, symbol numbers were assigned to surreptitious entries.
Symbol number indexes are maintained at the field office level
in a confidential informant files unit or similar section.
The indexes are not a part of the general office indices.
Mr. Adams pointed out on 7/8/76 that by not checking
the symbol number indexes in all field offices we may have
created a gap in our efforts to locate material pertaining
to entries, and that we should consult with the Department on
this problem.
A check of indexes presently located in INTD - indexes
dealing with technical, microphone, trash and mail coverage,
and certain "anonymous source" contacts - fails to suggest
field offices will have symbol number index cards in addition
to those sent by them for indexing to Headquarters.
Nevertheless, Mr Gardner s advised of the above . wa
on 7/8/76. He said he would consider our proposal to go to
the field offices, and advise of his decision at a later date.

of "SAC Folders" with information about entries from the
1940s through 1975, however, subsequent review showed no
entries after April, 1973. D¬p¬ftmental~Attorney~William
Gardner telephonically advised on the evening of March 17,
1976, of the discovery of additional information. New York
Office instructed to review material. On March 18, 1976,
a survey was made of all personnel at SAC level and higher
in field and Section Chief and higher at FBIHQ for their
knowledge of surreptitious entries. Legal Counsel Division
memorandum of March 19, 1976, recommended canvass of all
field offices for similar documents. Memorandum to Civil
Rights Division on April 13, 1976, advised of discovery.

In late June, 1975, a survey was made of Headquarters
INTD personnel to obtain recollections and documents relating
to surreptitious entries performed by Bureau personnel.
Entries in both the domestic and foreign counterintelligence
areas were located through recollection; however, only two
documents dealing specifically with black bag jobs were
found. One, a Sullivan to C. D. DeLoach memorandum of July 19,
1966, captioned "'Black Bag Jobs, outlined the policies
and procedures respecting recording of information pertaining
to the entry activity, and set forth the value of the technique
through several examples of surreptitious entries against
foreign and domestic targets. At the end of this memorandum,
Mr. Hoover noted that he wanted no more such techniques
used. The second memorandum, dated January, 1967, from
Mr. Hoover to Messrs. Tolson and DeLoach, reaffirmed Mr. Hoover's
instructions that no black bag jobs would be approved
by him.1//0

Memorandum to Mr. J. B. Adams
Re: Surreptitious Entries
66-8160
The July l9, 1966, memorandum of Sullivan to DeLoach
indicated that memoranda dealing with black hag jobs were
to be kept in field offices for one year, until the time
of the annual office inspection. Following review by the
Inspector, the documents were to be destroyed.
The INTD survey failed to show any entries in the
domestic area subsequent to Mr. Hoover's July, 1966, instruction.
On July 14, 1975, Director Kelley stated in a press
conference that in the domestic area no entries occurred
subsequent to 1966 - that he knew of no such entries. Director
Kelley further indicated that since becoming Director in
July, 1973, he had authorized no such entries. The Director's
statement was based on ! the July, 1966, Sullivan to DeLoach
memorandum and, ! recollections of INTD personnel as reported
in the June, 1975, survey mentioned above. Copy of press
conference attached!
On July 25, 1975, in response to articles appearing
in The New York Times and Newsweek concerning surreptitious
entries conducted by the FBI, several memoranda were prepared
and furnished to the Department. These memoranda were based
on the June, 1975, INTD survey and outlined INTD knowledge
of surreptitious entries as recalled by current personnel.
Copy of memorandum attached!
On August 19, 1975, the Civil Rights Division of
the Department requested that the FBI furnish information
about all entries performed by Bureau personnel subsequent
to January l, 1966. The Departmental request asked for
such data as name of target, date of entry, purpose of entry,
etc. INTD promptly began canvassing appropriate offices
and Headquarters Sections for information responsive to
the Civil Rights Division's request. The canvass was based
on entry information contained in the June, 1975, survey
of INTD personnel.
At approximately the same time as the Civil Rights
Division inquiry was going on, the SSC and the HSC began
making requests of the FBI for material dealing with entries
in connection with electronic surveillances and entries
to collect information, i.e. black bag jobs.

Memorandum to Mr. J. B. Adams
Re: Surreptitious Entries
66-8160
On March 17, 1976, a representative of the Legal
Counsel Division was in the New York Office. From the SWP
case Agent there, it was learned that in addition to informati
about 93 entries against the SWP, certain SAC Folders
contained information about entries of the New York Office
from the "l940s through 1975. Subsequent review of these
"folders," which were documents maintained outside normal
record channels, failed to reflect any entry activity after
April, 1973. The period initially stated, i.e., 'l94Os
through 1975, was based on New York's first review of the
material, and reflected an assumption that material extended
through 1975. Our later review proved this false.
On return to Headquarters, the Legal Counsel Division
representative immediately reported this discovery to INTD.
f this discovery at the New York Office,b N'lD telepnonically contacted UepalftflletdiAttorney W1 11am L. Gardner on the same date, March 17,
1976. Mr. Gardner, who was at his residence when contact
was made, was advised that in the New York Office a number
of documents had been discovered showing entries over an
extended period, from the 1940s to 1975. Mr. Gardner was
told that at that time the exact material located had not
been reviewed and analyzed to determine what, if any, activity
fell within the scope of the Department's inquiry entries
since January 1, 1966!: however, this would be done and
he would be advised as soon as the review was completed.
On March 18, 1976, in response to an earlier Civil
Rights Division request, a communication was directed to
all personnel at the level of SAC and higher in the field,
and Section Chief and higher at FBIHQ, asking for their
knowledge, however incomplete, concerning entries. Results
of the survey were furnished to the Department on May 14,
1976. Memoranda attached!
On March 19, 1976, Legal Counsel Division advised
INTD in a memorandum of the discovery of material relating
to entries of the New York Office. It was recommended that
New York Office be instructed to review the material and
report results to FBIHQ. In addition, it was recommended
that other field offices be queried as to whether or not
similar documents existed there. The Director reviewed
this memorandum. Memorandum attached!

conduct of an investigation, he would make his request
the appropriate Assistant Director at FBIHQ, justifying
the need for an entry and assuring it could be accom-

outlining the facts of the request was prepared for
approval of Hr. oever, or r. Tolson, the Associate

procedure, and thereafter destroyed. In the field
office, the $AC maintained a record of approval as B
control device in his office safe. at the next yearly
field office inspection, a review'of these records would
be made by the Inspector to insure that the SAC was not
acting without prior FBIHQ approval in conducting
surreptitious entries. Upon completion of this review,

Reference is made to Legal Counsel memorandum to
Hr. J. B. Adams, ll/20/75, captioned as above, requesting
Intollienco Division review 26 items requested by the plaintif:
including one item for documents on surreptitious entries.
To obtain approval tor the forwarding to all offices oz
the attached airtel which requests each office to review field
office files for any documents from 1960 to the oresent relevnn"
to any surreptitious entries against the plaintiffs.
BACFZGROL?-ED: -
rlnintirfs, the Socialist workers Party QWP5, its you-
group, tho Young Socialist Alliance YSA!. and fifteen individn
plaintiffs, filed centicned civil notion during ?!?3, alleging
that defendants, the FBI, other Governmental nnencies and oific
have denied them constitutional rights as a political onrty. Tm
seek substantial damages as well as broad injunctive relief.
In connection with pretrial discovery proceedings, we
are attempting to locate any documents which may exist relating
to surreptitious entries or "bag jobs" which may have been
perpetrated against the plsntiifs. We have already advised the
plnintiiis that there is no central index, tile, or document
listing surreptitious entries directed_ngainst domestic
organizations. The reporting of information from such entries
was designed to concehl tho method by which the information was
obtained. Bccaudse such information is not rctricvnblc at
Headquarters, it is necessary for each office which may have
documents relevant to this lawsuit to conduct reviews of their
own records.

The Cnaraxaar. After yesterday: hearing I asked the stall to fur-
nish me with the statutory authority that presently exists that could
he aid to releu te the FBIs intelligence tvcl: was M
course the subject of yesterda s hearings. And I am furnished in
tee nse to that request title X II, section 533, of the United States C052, which reads as follows: {Y1
'.l'he Attorney General may appoint omeinla: 1.. to detect and prosecute erlmea

as may he directed by the Attorney General. .
New yesterday. Mr. Wannall, we were told abouts series of activi-
ties that were undertaken by the FBI, and indeed. initiated within the
FBI, the purpose oi which was to harass and discredit MartinLuther King.'I am not referring to the results of any FBI investiga-tive activity, but rather. I am referring to these kinds of initiatives
that were undertaken for the purpose of either harasi or em-barrassing or otherwise discrediting Dr. King himself. Myngrst q]ues-tion is: was Dr. King, in his advocacy of equal rights for bAack

Mr. Aunts. No, sir. t . _

Mr. ADAJIII. "I"hats right, his advocacy for civil rights".
The Cnarniux. His advocacy of civil rights was nonviolent and
therefore legal in character.
Mr. Atuurs. That was not the basis _of our investigation of

.-Q.
The Cuanxan. Why did the FBI doitl
Hr. Aaalas. Well, we have to approach two parts, in mv estimation,Senator Church. One, the basis for ourinvestigation of Miirtin Luther
Kmg_, which was to determine Communist inuence on him. my handsare tied in discussing t-hat, somewhat an the basis that there is certain
information which today, -from an ongoing operation is sensitive and
which, of course, we have made known to you and certain sta mem-bers. I would like to sav on the ba that from our review we feelthat we initiallz h-ad a basis for invadigating Martin Luther King.I_Now as far as t e activities which you are asking about. the discredit-
lng. I know of no basis for that and I will not attempt to justify it.
The Cmumlsu. You never made a nding, did you. that Martin
Luther King was a Communist!
Mr. Amara. No, sir, we did not. We were investigating Communistin_ueI_rce and the possible eect on him. We never made such a deter-
mination. <
The Cnarmtarr. Very well. Then there was no justification rfor the
FBI to interfere! '
Mr. Aunts. To discredit him. .
The Cmummx. In conferring an hmorarv degree upon him!
Mr. Aunts. I cannot nd any jnstifealion iogthat.
The Crtanutax. Is it true that the FBI on mother occasion inter-;enedtin an attempt to prevent Dr. Martin Luther King from seeing the
° 1P9Mr. Aunts. I believe that is corred. air. There were approximately
25 incidents, I believe. of actions taken in this regard. I think Mr.
Schwarz has thou available, that I would lump basically all of them
into the same situation of I see no statutory basis or no basis of justifi-
cation for the activity. . I .
The Cnamstan. But what was the motive. there being no statute:-_v
or other valid basis! What was the motive for attempting to prevent
Dr. Martin Luther King from visiting with the Pope!
Mr. Aoaxs. In looking at absolute motive. I dont think the les
which we have reviewed and made available to the committee. give me a
clear picture of what the motive was. I think that there were. the
motive was certainly known to Mr. Hoover. It was known to one top
oieiai who is no longer with the Bureau and mavbe lmown to others.
all of whom have been interviewed by the committee. Matters bearing
on what might have been the real motive or the possible motive, I again
feel, because of reasons of nrivacv and delicacy, are not a proper sub-
iect of discumion at a public hearing. I think we know what could have
inuenced this, but one, the primary individual. Mr. Hoover, is not
with us. Individuals who were closed to him in this effort are not with
us. And the committee itself has interviewed them. So I really am not
ll! a posit-ion to discuss this motive ins.
Tho Cnarnmnr. Nevertheles. you would agree that whatever the
motive. it was a very improper thingtodo.
Mr. Aunts. I cannot nd any jnstit-ation.no. air.
The Ciramsrax. Is it trne that after Dr. Martin Luther King: had
been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prise. that an nnon_92-mous letter
was sent to him and to Coretta King, his wife, 34 days before he was
to receive the Nobel Peace Prize Q [See footnote p. 21.]

Mr. Amuse. I do not think those dates are correct. "
The Cuammm. Well, it was sent--
Mr. Apaus. It was before he was to receive it. I think 84 dayaupon
reconstruction b one of the members of my sta, 34 days would havebeen Christmas Day. and whether that 34 days?
The Cnamaum. It is hard to believe that such a letter would be
written on Christmas Day. ~Mr. Anaus. It was not written on Christmas Day, but 34 To
Nobel Peace Prize I think was on December 10, the letter days
from the date of the mailin of the letter as has been reconstructed, asbest as possible, would haveheen Christmas Day.
The Cnallma .92'. Was the letter written and sent by the FBI!
Mr. Anans. We have no information to that eect. All we know
is that the draft, or original of what may have been the letter wasfound in papers of the FBI left after a former oicial departed the
FBI. We know that based upon inquiries that we have conducted
and you have conducted, we lmow that the letter was notI mean it
was 111 COl'l1'lECti0I92 with other material. So I think we can asume--~
The Cnanuutx. Other materials which were sent.
Mr. Aunts. Thats right. So I can assume that the letter was sent.
I have determined nothing from my review of the les, and neither has
your sta, to my knowledge, or has been reported back to me which
would indicate that this action was duly recorded in any le or was
a part of any authorized program or anything else. This is a void that
I do not think any of us has been satisfactorily able to resolve.
The Cuamamx. We know the letter appeared in the les. We know
that the letter was received. We know it was associated with other
matters that were sent by the FBI to Dr. Martin Luther King.
Mr. Amms. The letter was never in our les in the sense that it was
entered into the official les of the FBI. It was among papers
The Cnsmsmx. It was among papers.
Mr. Amara. Left by an individual who had departed.
The Cuamamx. That individual being Mr. Sullivan!
Mr.Ans1ts. Yes. sir.
The C1-mmaux. The letter read: King. there is only one thing left
for you to do. You know what it is. You have just 34 days in which
to do it, this exact number has been selected for a specic reason. It has
denite practical signicance. You are done. There is but one way out
for you.
Now, if you had received such a letter. how would you have inter-
preted it I What would you have thought it meant!
Mr. Aoaxs. I have read that statement. I have heard the conclu-
sions of your sta that it was a suicide urzing. I cant nd any basis
upon which they drew that conclusion. I think that, approaching it
from an obiective standpoint. as I read it. I dont know what it means.
I think rather than a conclusion it should he a speculation in a realm
of possibilities ns to what was intended. hut I cannotI dont under-
stand the basis for it. It is a posibilitv. but I certainly would not reach
such a conclusion from my reading of that statement.
The CIIAIRMAN. Now. if you had received a letter of this kind and
it had been directed to you. and you were in Dr. Kings position and
you read. King. there I8 only one thing left for you to do. You know
what it is. You have 34 day: in which to do it. Now, that hap-

what the intent was of the per"...-n writing tench e note, eeinnmg ]I.1_stbefore Christmas. I dont know if it means, it is an urging to rentfrom something this person, whoever he was, that had sent it, I re
no idea what i_t meant. _ ~ .
The Cnanurax. It is certainly no Christmas card, is it-I
Mr. Amua It is certainly no Christmas cani. _
The Crunuum. It reads, You are done. There is but one way out
for on. What does that rneanl l " _r. Amara. I dont know. I dont know if it means confession I dont
lmow if it means suicide, as has been raised. I have no idea. You have
the statement. I am not in a position to say. I havent interviewed any»
one tmt wee with him et the time he received it '
The Cmuamm. Would you disown this statement and say that any
connection the FBI had with it was utterly improper and grotesque l_Mr. Aunts. I certainly would say it was improper, and I cant!ust1fy
its being prepared or sent ves, sir -_--...eSenator Lloxnsnn. Mnbhairman, inf-I Tnight just interrupt. I ._,,£
|The Cnarmrss. Senator Mondale. _ _ _ - _ __;Senator Mo192'na1.a. What I asked the sta yaterday was what D1.Kiwi took it to mean. I have no knowledge of what those who framed
this etter intended, and those who were with him at the time he read
it, including Congressman Young who was one of his assistants at the
time, said that they tool; it to mean a suggestion that he take his own
life. ' -
Mr. Aniurs. I am not in possession of that information. I am being
put in a position, I don't know what the stall determined. They did notreriohrt back to me on their ndings.
e Cnanuux. The letter will speak for itself. You personally have
disowned it. -
Mr. ADAMS. Absolutely. '
The CHAIR.92 A!F. It was a highly improner thine; for the FBI to be
connected with in any way. Do you agree with that? " _
Mr. Aoaxa. Yes, sir; yes. sir.
The Cnsrmrax. Now, without going through the many di'erent- and
specic undertakings that were intended to publiclv discredit Dr. King.
because mv time will not permit that. and others will want to question
you on other snecic matters, I have inst one further ouestion to nut
to you. Yesterdav there was a document of the FBI which sugvested
that in the ouinion of the Bureau. Dr. King was an unsuitable leader
for the civil riehts movement. and that another man should he looked
for. and indeed. another candidate was actunllv susrnrsted to Mr.
Hoover as one who should he nromoted in various ways so thnt he
miwht assume the lendershin of this movement.
Now. can vou tell me of anvthinw in the law. or snv other _iustira-
tion. rriven the mission of the FBI. that would entitle it to decide
who should lend nolitiral movements in this countrv or tn undertaki-
to degrade n mun who hurl fnngrlit. and won such leader-shin and had
the support of a gneat mans black people in this country. and white

people as well, and to substitute in his place someone of the FBI: selec-
tion or someone who stood in the FBIa favor! Can you think of anyjustification for such activity on the part of a law enforcement agency!
Mr. Aunts. I cant think of any otl rand ; no, sir. _
The Cmunauu. Neither can I. Senator Tower! i _
Senator Towns. Thank you, Bi r. Chair-man.
What is your understanding of the underlying causes of the feud
between Mr. Hoover and Dr. King! _ _ _ _Mr. Amara. Senator Tower. I feel if we got into any discussion of
-that, I think we would have to'take into consideration certain material
which I icel should not be disclosed publicly, and I would respectfully
ask that a question of motive of Mr. Hoover and the spat with Mr.
King should be discussed in executive session. if at all. _
Senator Towns. In 1965, Attorney General Katzenbach was ll!-
formed by Mr. Hoover of the Bureaus surveillance of Dr. I_{ing. That
was the Attorney Generels reaction? What was his position once he
.was informed hy Mr. Hoover of this surveiliancei '
Mr. Anaars. I dont recall having seen it. _
Senator Towsa. In other words. lld the Attorney Genera] give any
direction to the Bureau in the matter that you know of_! _
Mr. Aoaus. Yes. sir. I How that. of course. on the wiretapping on
Martin Luther King. it was approved by the Attorney General. I know
that the President of the United States and the Attorney General spe-
cically discussed their concern with Dr. King over Communist in-
uence on him. I do know there was concern, but I dont tie in this
date, 1965.
Senator Towns. Do you know whether or not Mr. Hoover ever
sought direct authorization from hir. Katzenbach for this very sensi-
tive surveillance of Dr. King?
Mr. Amara. I dont know. Attorney General Kennedy approved the
actual surveillance that was instituted on Dr. King. I dont know of
any correspondence between Attorney General Katzenbach--
Senator Towns Qr any personal communication between them that
would have indicated the level of the Attorney General's involvementi
Mr. Aonrs. No. If my recollection serves me correctly, as far as
Attorney General Kennedy was concerned. he requested coverage on
Dr. King. The Bureau responded with a request in writing. which is
our normal nrocedure. He declined to approve that request. and then
we came hack later. a few months later. and requested it again. at which
time he did approve. That is my recollection of that.
Senator Towns. Why did the Attorney General change his mind!
Do you have any idea. or is that asain a matter of sensitivity?
Mr. Aunts. I dont lmow why he actually changed his mind from
originally requesting. then declining when it was submitted. then
approving it on the second 20~round. It may be in the les. If it is, I
would be glad to see what I could determine.§enatg{ 5Iow1»:a. If you could, we would like to have that. [See foot-
no c. p. .
lifr. Annie. Yes. sir. l _
Senator Towns. .92[r. Adams. vou have heen familiar with the Fu-
reaus domestic intelligence work for many years. How did the Bureau
come to launch the COI_92'TELPRO, and what in essence did
COINTELPRO accomplish!
