SA Petersen: In Boston, Baltimore, New York, Tampa, and San Mr. Seidel: The Bureau has indicated that you were a coordinator of the COINTELPRO in San Diego - As such , what were your duties? SA Petersen: The duties for the most part consisted of preparing letters to the Bureau asking for authority to take some specific action in the program; awaiting the reply from` the Bureau; and then 9 if any action was taken, to advise the Bureau of the results of such action. It is noted that many of the re- quests to take specific action were turned down by the Bureau. Mr_ Seidel: Were you the focal point of the program? SA Petersen: Yes , in the sense that any idea for action to be taken in the program was trans- mitted to the Bureau for approval by me and if approval was received, it would be res lated to whomever had suggested the activity. I would then report any results to the Bureau. 3 - NW 88608 Docld:32989640 Page 193 long yoii Diego . ================================================== Page 194 ================================================== U S SENATE SELECT COMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (sSc) INTERVIEW OF SA EARL M.

I cannot recall whether or not Wallace was removed while I was coordinator of the program. Mr. Seidel: Was COINTELPRO successful? SA Petersen: I was not too impressed with its success in San Diego while I had it assigned to me be- cause it was a new program and it took some time to get it established and working Most of the success was probably due to information obtained regarding criminal violations, mostly local in nature, which was furnished to local law enforcement officers, causing the arrest of BPP members. This would have been done whether or not we had a COINTELPRO . It was necessary to prepare a letter to the Bureau asking authority to take action and then wait for a reply authorizing the GGfYiLyRo @cEviine times suggested suggestions would be turned down _ 5 - NW 88608 Docld:32989640 Page 195 ================================================== Page 196 ================================================== U S SENATE SELECT COMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSc) INTERVIEW OF SA EARL M, PETERSEN BY SSC STAFF MEMBER Mr_ Seidel made available Xerox copies %f Bureau letters_captioned, "Counter-Intelligence P58,*1967* Black Nationalist Hate Groups, dated August 25, and March 4, 1968 _ These were read by SA Petersen, who said he could not specifically recall reading the letters.

SA Petersen: Contact was personal or telephonic contact and at one time informa- tion furnished to individual officers was confirmed by letter to the Chif of Police. It is not re- called if this was the policy during the time COINTELPRO was assigned to me . Mr _ Seidel: What happened to SA Burns? SA Petersen: He was transferred to the Butte, Montana Field Office.

SA Petersen: Very definitely. There was extreme friction between the BPP and US , Inc. at all times . Mr= Seidel: Do you recall some caricatures used in connection with COINTELPRO ? SA Petersen: Yes.

SA Petersen: I recall seeing them but do not recall any specific cartoona Mr- Seidel: Do_you_think aything done in COINTELPRO could have had a reaction causing someone to kill an individual in the other group? SA Petersen: Because of the extreme antagonism between the two groups anything we did would have had about the same effect as a gnat biting an elephant_ I do not think COINTELPRO had that kind of impact.

SA Petersen: I would hesitate to do this because it might break up a family: If the facts were true and this might cause the BPP leader to be less effective, it would_probably be a good counter- inte lligence move . Mr_ Seidel: I am referring to Page 91 of a BPP COINTELPRO summary which indicates that a BPP leader was living with a white and an anonymous letter was written to others in the BPP saying that this individual was living with a white girl Do you recall anything about that?

They planned violent criminal acts and were plans to take over the @atibfiBlea govern- ment at the first opportunity. If a leader of such a group could be discredited and removed, it would help to keep the group from becoming stronger , as would have to select a new leader 9 and he would have to the group reorganized. Denmon had many additional weaknesses which could be used in a counter-intelligence program. Mr_ Seidel: Do you recall a letter being sent to BPP Headquarters saying a leader of the BPP was cooperating with the police in Los Angeles? SA Petersen: I do not recall such a letter. Mr. Seidel: Do you recall some cards being sent to San Diego from Los Angeles saying, "Ron Karenga i8 impotent"?

I don t believe it was ever necessary to instigate_ any illegal acts or in any way entrap BPP members in criminal acts_ The ma jority of local BPP members were thieves, narcotics addicts, lazy unemployed and Tere hero worshipers of the BPP in Oakland, California_ They wanted to emulate the Oakland organization, but their own dishonesty 9 et cetera, was a constant source of turmoil amongst the local group. I recall, date unknown, information was received regarding Kenny Denmon (Kenneth Lee Denmon) one time head of the local that he Tas using stolen credit cards . Information was received that Walter Wallace (Walter Carl Nallace, Jr.) was on narcotics and that he and his wife, Velma, were stealing to money for narcotics and that Velma S mother was also involved in local thefts.

inquired as to whether Gebhardt felt the intelligence type investigations should be completely removed from the criminal investigations which investigations would be looking. toward eventual prosecution Seidel was informed by Gebhardt that even in criminal investigations looking toward prosecutions much intelligence information is obtained from time to time which really has no value from a prosecutive standpoint but does have possible value with respect to the direction of the investigation _ In some criminal investigations a great deal of inteliigence information may be obtained and in other types very little_ Insofar as the FBI is concerned _ however every effort is made to make certain there is some Federal law which would be a basis for an investigation which procedures would include matters commonly referred to as security investigations In some instances ) in such security investigation8 a great deal of intelligence information would be obtained therefore it was

================================================== Gebhardt was asked if he.felt the Cointelpro was a separate entity distinguished from the basic investigation and it was explained that the Cointelpro was a phase of the overall investigation in any particular organization or individual Gebhardt was asked if he felt Congress should enact legislation which would set forth specific investigative techniques that could or could not be utilized by the FBI or other Federal investigative agencies He was advised in' Gebhardt 8 opinion such legislation should not be enacted _ and in reply to the question as to .why such legislation should not be enacted it was pointed out that as an investigative agency , there must of necessity be allowed a certain flexi- bility because no two investigations are exactly alike and the circumstances of such investigations could possibly not be related to such Federal law In answer to the question as to how Congress should assure the American public that questionable,activity such as the Cointelpro was not being engaged in an investigative agency such as the FBI Seidel was informed that the Congress and the American people must rely upon the integrity and honesty of the Director of the FBI and the Attorney General It was pointed out that both the Director of the FBI and 'the Attorney General are nominated by the President hearings_ are held before the various Congressional Committees and finally approved by the Senate It was further pointed out that Director Kelley has recently stated in connection with the publicity relative to Cointelpro that he has no intention of permitting this Program to be reinstituted in the TBI and if circumstances ever arose which circumstances he could not contemplate' at this time wherein it was thought such activities should be embarked upon he would obtain the personal approval of the Attorney General prior to such instituting Seidel was informed that Gebhardt was in total agreement with this statement of Mr Kelley_ Gebhardt was asked as to what his feelings were relative to what the relationship should be between the FBI and Congress He was informed that a Senate Oversight Committee wa8 recently established and it was felt that this was a start and that this Committee should formalize and 3 NW 88608 Docld:32989640_Page 244 by good ================================================== Page 245 ================================================== standardize their oversight responsibilities and make_regular inquiries of the Director and other officials' of the FBI as to our activities He was informed that there should be either a joint oversight committee between the House and Senate or if the Congress decided on two oversight Comittees in both the House and Senate these committees should be the entities through which al1 information relative to the activities of the FBI should flow It was emphasized however, that there should be regular consultation between these representatives and the FBI Inquiry was made as to Gebhardt S opinion relative to the relationship between the Department of Justice and the FBI and Seidel was informed the relationship in Gebhardt' s opinion is excellent , should continue and there should be a free flow 0f information between the FBI and the Department of Justice At the conclusion of the interview Gebhardt sumed up his comments by stating that Congress should definitely set up a structured oversight procedure of the activities of the FBI with due regard to the confidentiality of many of the FBI operations and investigations and must assure itself that the members of the Committee and its staff will maintain the confidentiality where necessary Secondly_ in the areas of investigative matters usually referred to as national defense national security or intelligence operations al1 of the FBI investigations must be based on the application of the facts toward a particular Federal statute and 1f the facts are S0 oblique_ that they cannot be clearly applied to a particular Federal statute consultation with the Department of Justice should be had in all

The following relates specifically ro the procedure suggested for handling documents on the SO called " 'Kissinger 17" surveillance, which is also applied in your letter to materials relating to electronic sur- veillance of the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic in August 1964 , materials relating to the electronic cirvcilliiice 0i Dz _ ai poooibly iile 3 & C fiies_ I regard this suggested procedure as a major step forward and a recognition that previous arrangements Tere too cumbersome and time-consuming. Nevertheless , there are certain practical problems with the procedure which may be resolved by interpretation For example , I assume that application 0f the procedure to the Atlantic City conven- eion matters does not foreclose the Committee from receiving for use at its offices actual documents or portions of documents , 2s well as summaries I understana that the FBI has 10 objection to providing such documents on this matter to the Committee for use at its offices. Therefore, in order that the procedure you suggest may be applicable to all areas of Committee inquiry claimea by the Department to involve particularly sensitive matters, it should be interpreted as fcllows: the Committee staff will have direct access to all files and materials @E FBIHQ: the comituee Srarf shalI select certain documents from rhe files which it deems pertinent to the Committee s inquiry and necessary for the examination of witnesses or the es- tablishment of certain facts during the course of the iiLVEINORMAHTON CONTADVED 30un2 PADERGEEERu 7h6/- NW 88608 Docld:32989640 Page 303 Aetcune Recetve D 1/5 Esq.

Finally, let me assure you thati the Committee has no evidence that the present arrangenent has prevented the Committee from obtaining the full disclosures sought; but it seems to me that it woula be mutully beneficial for appropriate steps to be taken so tha# we will both be able to assure the American people and fie Congress that our oversight responsibilities were fulflled in an objec- tive and impartial way .

Levi Attorney General U' S _ Department of Justice Washington, D_ C. 20530 Dear Mr Attorney General: I woula like to bring to your personal attention a situation which has severely restricted our efforts to establish the relevant facts with respect to one. Of the areas of alleged abuse which is the subject of inquiry pursuant to S Res _ 21 _ I have been informed by the staff that numerous materials which have been requested during the past several weeks which pertain to the FBI 's activities with respect to Dr _ Martin Luther King, Jx_ 1 have been withhela from the Committee by the Department because 0f concern expressed by Mr Harry Wachtel 1 the attorney for the family and estate, as to the appropriateness 0f the Department' s "disseminating" to the Committee contents of conversations monitored during electronic surveillances 0f Dr King. Upon reviewing the lists 0f materials requestea_ I am at a loss to understand how most of those items could conceivably be encompassed by the issues raised by Mr _ Wachtel, especially in view 0f the fact that our letters of request have specifically pointed out that tape recordings and trans- cripts should not be supplied. Accordingly, I want to take this opportunity to place the Committee formally on record as reaffirmirg all of the outstanding requests for materials relating to the matters with the limited exception 0f (1) Mr DeLoach s August 24 27 1964 memoranda which pertain to the 1964 Democratic National Convention and (2) those portions Qf any other requested materials which actually summarize or quote from conversations monitored during any electronic surveili- ance of Dr _ King .
