Korshak is a 69-year-eldQ practicing attorney in Chiqz-go, Illinois, who is utilized frequently in mediat-- ing labor disputes, especially those involving the International Brotherhoodof Teamsters.

The article stated that "oificials said in recent interviews that the Federal

Memorandum to _i£Lr.~1§1iel1l 1 ,_Re: Sidney R. Korshak /"
t O1u- Los Angeles Division advises that an Agent of the Long Beach,
California, Resident Agency was contacted by the "New York Times" writersbut that he made no comment concerning any contact Korshak may have with
organized crime. Los Angeles further states that no senior official of theLos Angeles Office has furnished any information concerning Korshak to the"New York_Tim_es " writers.
., ,
It should be noted that our Los Angeles Office has been conductingca Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations investigation involving labor
disputes -aboard the former luxury liner, Queen Mary, which has been berthed' ' ' ' t" ti ose a ' a result of ~ 1n Long Beach, Califormagfmce 1967. That mves 1ga on ar sdisputes between major m itime unions and land-based construction unions.
Information was developed that a Congressman from Illinois was contacted toassist in this union dispute and further that the Congressman had a friend,_
Sidney R. Korshak, who was "influential" in maritime unions on the West
Coast. In that comiection, several attempts were made to interview Korshakbut he would never submit to interview, advising our Agents to contact hisattorney. It is expected that the results of this investigation will be presented
to a Federal Grand Jury within the next few weeks.
After contacting the Criminal Division of the Department ofJustice today, it was determined they are unaware of any major investigationsconcerning Sidney R. Korshak by any of the Department of JusticewStrike
Forces. .__
M ' During the course of many of our criminal inte ' ' ti -" '= -~~ L 0 ' ver the Years, including those of Chicago hoodlums1 d other members of the hoodlum element, information was ev oped
rshak was closely associated with that element.

six days before hat scheduled-
testimony at the office of
Thomas R. Sheridan, an Assist-
ant United States Attornay in
Los Angeles. The meeting was
in lieu of a formal grand jury
appearance. _ The interview was quite
cordial and informal," a re-
port noted. and in most
instances Mr. Korshak volun-
teered information -without
being asked."
The volunteered lnfofilaticn
included Mr. Korshal-t's cate-
gorical denial of any involve-

§stolen securities and organized
