On January 7 , 1976, Magee V luntarily furnished this Bureau the results Of the interview which are a5 follows , not necessarily in chronological order. Interviet took place on January 6, 1976 , and Epstein was the sole interrogator_ The interview was very informal, most of Which took piace_ in a coffee in the Dirksen Senate Office Building; and it lasted little more than 2 half hour. Magee Tvas not advised of his rights_ The following subject matters were covered: Epstein Inquired as to whether the FBI had had a drug program: Magee responded by, asking if Epstein meant a Program relating to the use of truth serum and Epstein responded in the affirmative_ Magee told him_that the FBI did not"have such & program but that during the 25 years he had been with the Bureau, there may have been sone very selected occasions when truth serun may have been used, but that he had no specific knowledge %f such use _ Magee further advised that he never knew of any FBI SA also a medical doctor and that he did not believe that an SA would ever have injected anyone with 2 truth serum: Epstein voiced Slrprise that the FBI was not aggressive enough to have a truch serum program in connection with its use of the polygraph. Epstein next inquired as to what the FBI did relative to vulnerability studies, Magee told hin that he did not know what Epstein was telking about. Epstein elaborated by_stating that in the 19608, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) allegedly conducted surveys such as spraying chenicals in a subway station to see if it could be sabotaged in this manner. Magee answered that he knew of no such type of activity by the FBI and did not think the FBI would ever engage in such activity.

S Senate Select Gommittee to Study Governental Operacions With Respect to Intelligence Activities (ssC) Re: Intervier_Qf Former FBI Special Agent (SA) Joseph Willian Magee by an SSC Staff Member Epstein inquired concerning the relationship between the FBI and CIA. Magee told him that he knew at one time the FBI had one man who was the liaison link with GLA, that person being former SA Sam Papich: Epstein wanted to know 1€ meetings between Papich,and the" CIA were primarily for the FBI 3 benefit. Magee responded that_ he did not know much about the liaison arrangements and meetings but it was his belief that such meetings ' as may have been held between FBI and CIA personnel 9 were designed for the mutual benefit Of all parties ad that he did not know of any meetings which were designed solely for the FBI S benefit Epstein inquired a5 to what the FBI did relative to certain gases, the exact type unrecalled by Magee in his report on this intervier. Magee responded that some FBI SAs possess gas masks to be used for obvious reasons but that the FBI had no programs for use of ga8. Epstein asked Magee what he knew about Martin Luther Jr. and whether Magee, had ever heard any recordings concerning King: Magee said that he had not but that he under- stood that the FBI had recordings Of which Tvere bona fide: Magee then told Epstein of his recollection of an obscure news story of an event in North Garolina a number of years_ 2g0 when it was developed that s0me Of Kind 8 associates had illegally sold 2 number Of rental automobiles that the news account indicated that no prosecution was authorized by the Department of Justice, possibly on Ehe basis that the Department of Justice did not then want to disrupt the civil rights activities of 5 associates.

Few would deny the necessity for the FBI to conduct domestic security intelligence investigations but there should be clearer guidelines governing their purpose and scope _ 2 _ The Office of the Deputy Attorney General should be charged with the responsibility for ensuring that the FBI complies with guidelines which might be issued by the Attorney General rather than diffusing this responsibility among various divisions of the Department of Justice _ 3 , As suggested by the Rockefeller Commission_ there should be a mechanism created either in the FBI or in the Department f Justice to evaluate and analyze the results of the FBI's domestic security intelligence investigations _ 4 . Although only 16 of the 676 cases reviewed by G.iO (3 percent) were referred to & United States Attorney for prosecutive opinion = in 43 percent of the cases (291) the FBI was able to establish that the subject was a leader or a member of a subversive organization or was prone t0 violence _ 5 , FBI field offices are not fully consistent in the manner in which they conduct preliminary inquiries and frequently do not conclude the inquiry within the allotted 90 days _ FBIHQ personnel are continuing to review the attachment and we anticipate consulting with GAO's staff on Monday morning , 9/22/75 , to discuss any changes deemed necessary _ ACTION: For information 0f the Director K WeAGi (v 2 NW 88608 Docld:32989570 Page 96 N kp ================================================== Page 97 ================================================== T71OT 7575,70 MaY 1767 {Dmiok GSA {FM* (1 Cii) idi-11.6 UNITED STATzS GQ RNMENT Assoc.
