Dear Mr. Hoover
I wish to tha.nk you for taking the time for
personally answering my letter. It was a nice thing to do.
I was not aware of the extent of the F.B. I.
investigation in the Birmingham church bombings. I wish to
commend you for this investigation
But I have a question to ask My question is was
any FBI report made public concerning the Birmingham churchbombing? &#39;
Hoping you can tell me and also hoping that you
can also comment about the 4/ 8/ 70 N.Y. Times story concerning
the alleged F. B.I. role  the death in Mississippi of a woman
Klan member.
I am with sincere Wishes
Yours Truly fr?,- i.. I! &#39;

Thank you for the generous remarks expressed -
in your letter which I received on April 15th.
There was no FBI report made public concerning
the Birmingham church bombings because information in our

of the Department of Justice.
With regard to the article to which you referred,
there is no lmth to the allegations insofar as references to the
FBI are concerned. This matter was handled entirely by the
Meridian, Mississippi, Police Department.

who contacted Mr. Reed in the Director&#39;s office on 4/l8/75
indicating he had additional information in this matter and »
desired to see the SAQ, Birmingham in that regard.
. Extensive investigation was conducted in this
matter, under the supervision of the General Investigative
Division. Bureau files indicate that investigation identified
a small group of hardcore Klansmen as probably subjects.
Insufficient information was developed to support prosecution.
Case was closed due to completion of logical investigation
and expiration of the period of the Statute of Limitations.
Baxley previously contacted FBIHQ in April, 1971 £2;
in this matter. During resulting contact by SAC, Birmingham, ghe indicated he had an informant believed by him to be of fl
material assistance and he requested certain results of our
prior investigation. Birmingham was instructed at that time
to advise him his request had been referred to the Civil
Rights Division of the Department  which Division then
supervised bombing investigations!. That Division was notified
of Mr. Baxley&#39;s request and the nature of our response /p-

A . IR A _ _ _ _5-... 1 -1.---_fOI 6 éétig t0 b hld u 4/251:4 at Muutgumczy, Aiquma.
SAC, Birmingham, advised that during the initial
contact on 4/21/75, Mr. Baxley indicated he wanted to
restate his 1971 request for results of our investigation.
He indicated he had information from an informant which
warranted recontact with numerous individuals previously
interviewed by us. He declined to elaborate. He indicated
he wanted two things: l. FBI Agents to jointly participate
with his investigators in any additional investigation which
might be conducted; and 2. that if Agents were not available,
results of previous interviews of certain individuals be
made available to him. SAC, Birmingham, advised him that if
he had any new information to furnish, we would conduct any
necessary additional investigation but that Agents could
not be made available to assist him in this matter. He was
also told that results of our previous investigation could
not be made available to him without the permission of the
Department.
ACTION:
You will be advised of the results of the 4/25/75
meeting between Mr. Baxley and SAC, Birmingham.

limited telephonic inquiry had been made concerning this -a
information and it had -
two individuals
t t was Mr. BAXLEY s
suspected by him of being knowin captioned matter and may at this time be vulnerable to &#39; - &#39;"
persistent interrogation. - i j _ * *&#39; - , i 77
Mr. BAXLEY asked that Agents of the F.B.I. participate
jointly with his investigators in this "additional_investigation"
He was informed by the SAC, Birmingham, that this was not
possible; however, if additional new information was available 
on which to provide the basis for further F.B.I. inquiry, such
information would be received and pursued vigorously. Mr.
BAXLEY preferred that investigation on information that he had
be controlled from his office. - o &#39; 
Mr. BAXLEY advised that if Agents were not available
to participate jointly as indicated above, he would appreciate
if results of certain investigation, particularly results of
interviews with suspects, be made available to his office so
that any inconsistencies between information provided.to Agents
to that provided to his investigators could be fully explored.
It was pointed out to Mr. BAXLEY that in some instances as much
as l0 years has passed since individuals were interviewed .
during our investi ation and to call upon the recollection of -these individuals for their knowledge of events occurring -
during the 1963 period in order to compare with the record of
our interviews would be an awesome responsibility and in the
SAC&#39;s, Birmingham, opinion questionable as to investigative
value or credibility.
In view of Mr. BAXLEYs request that results of our
investigation be made available for the use of his investigators,this request along with appropriate backgroud information is rcontained in the attached etterhead memorandum for transmittal
to the Civil Rights Division, Department of Justice;=&#39; i
