FBI Relationships with the Senate ana House Select_Comittees
Senate Select Committee
FBI relationships with the Senate Select Committee generally
have been harmonious with responses to the Committee requests
delivered promptly - When difficulties have occurred
have been overcome by negotiation and tolerance on both sides
Future difficulties that may be confronted and require sinilar
resolution include the scope of any public hearing regarding
electronic surveillance of" foreign nationals or-their agents
and establishments _
House Select Comittee
In the past the FBI has experienced the following difficulties
with- the House Select Committee:
(1) It has held public hearings which were orchestrated
to present adverse views without an opportunity for
1
preparea rebuttal_
1
such as occurred on October 9 , 1975 ,
regarding electronic surveillance matters;
(2) It has demanded delivery of documents on unreas-
1
onably short notice considering the time necessary to
W
4
locate and prepare for delivery the enormous quantity
|
of documents called for;
(3) It has interviewed employees
1
former employees
4
and confidential sources of the FBI without: first
8
advising the FBI of the proposed interview ana has
2
demandea the appearance of agents below the policy-
making level-
4 large number of documents dealing' with electronic surveillance
conducted without a warrant between 1970 and 30 1975 were
furnished to the Committee on Friday _ October 10 , 1975_ Certain
excisions in these documents were made and it remains to be .seen
whether the Committee will accept the deterninations made as to
what types of information, identities 0f subjects who were
monitored,
1
should have been excised_
The overriding
concern for the future is the need to establish
an understanding on both sides of the policies to be followed by
each in responding to the Committee S mandate General greement
to specified operating procedures woula alleviate the suspicion
on the part .Of the Committee and the fear of Comittee reesponsi-
bility on the part Of the FBI Yxe

and with proper authorization be sanctioned in the
counter-espionage field The FBI mail opening programs
raise this issue with more force than the CIA programs
since , in general the FBI programs were more circum-
scribed , more tightly controlled_
1
ana more focused
than the CIA programs The FBI programs were also very
successful in achieving their counter-espionage goals _
Mail opening does represent an extremely valuable
meqig of
intercepting the communications link in espionage
communications On the other hana the sanctity of the
mails is an established tradition in the United States ,
and it is doubtful that any selection criteria could be
sufficiently precise to allow for the opening of only
mail to or from illegal agents _
(2) Whether the mail openings that did occur were properly
authorized It is clear tnat FBI Director Hoover
personally approved the majority of the mail opening
programs The one which was implemented without Head -
quarters approval was terminated shortly after it came
to the attention of Headquarters _ It does not appear
however, that any Attorney General ever authorized these
programs or that the exact nature and full scope of the
programs was even brought to the attention of any Attorney
General even though opportunities existed to do SO Similarly- despite frequent contacts with the Postal
Inspection Service regarding the implementation 0f these
prograns no Chief Postal Inspector was ever informed
that the FBI contemplated the actual opening 0f mail
(3) Whether the legal implications of the mail openings_ were
adequately considered There is no evidence that Iegal
considerations were discussed after 1951 and there is
evidence that Headquarters personnel who ran the programs
either considered them illegal or ignored the legal
implications entirely.
(4) Whether the mail opening_ programs were adequately con-
trolled to ensure thatthey remained focused on counter
espionage matters As noted above , the programs did
generate some information regarding domestic organizations
and criminal activity although the primary purpose
always remained in the field_ The fact
NW 88614 Docld:32989673 Page 29
buelosieefe?-espionage
==================================================
Page 30
==================================================
5 J
that these programs did generate {uch information
apparently came as a surprise to the Headquarters
officials who ran the programs and the obvious
questions are whether this was permitted or encouraged ,
and _
I
if neither how it coula have happened .
(5) Whether the selection of names for inclusion on the CIA's
Watch List in the Hunter Project was Sufficiently con-
trolled and limitea Because the FBI requested tne CIA
for information on categories such as peace organizations
and on specific individuals ana groups involved in the
peace and women S movement a serious question is raised
whether there was sufficient restraint on the use of this
source
NOTE As discussed in the FBI MAIL OPENING PROGRAMS
sumary _
0
several of the FBI mail opening programs utilized
1 as
selection criteria, various "I indicators which_ with some accuracy ,
identified letters sent by or addressed to foreign illegal agents _
The fact of these indicators has been made public bY FBI officials
in recent weeks But : Ehese indicators are still felt to be
valid and the FBI has no reason to believe that they are not still
being used_ It is recommended therefore that the Committee
avoid_questions which would require in response an elaboration of
the nature of Ehese indicators

1
the Cuban
United Nations Mission , other Soviet-bloc Embassies
was selectively opened _
3 The "indicators Ii used as criteria for selective
opening 0f mail screened in several other programs
designed to' detect illegal foreign intelligence
agents in the United States (The fact that there
"1 were "indicators_ but not their nature, may be
disclosed publicly-)
4 The identities of specific individuals and groups
whose mail was opened either by the FBI or by the
CIA at the request 0f the FBI (FBI officials will

Bobby Rush De puty Minister of Defense of the Illinois
BPP regarding the unauthorized use of Panther funds
by Rush . He further a lienated himse lf with the BPP

and other organ izat ions are bo ing duped by white intellectual

hope lossness and frustrations of the Black community to

discussion regarding an underground' cell of the BPP was had in the

in that they departed from their original concept of ne ighborhood

of his respect and conf idence in Fred Hampt on_ who
rationalized that in order to further the cause of ne ighborhood
control they'd need the financ Ing and good will of governments oppose
to people oppression, no matter where these people were
Junior fee ls that the BPP is dead in Illinois and
blames its demise to Its ident if icat ion with communism and
coalitions with white revolut ionary groups
He has three things to show for his membership in the
BPP; (1) probat ion on the Federal FIrearms charge _ (2 ) three

This memorandum advises that the Senate Select

eight FBT documents (attached) The release of these
documents is scheduled for 10/24/75, following the appearance
of Assistant Directors Wannall and Mintz and Section Chief
Branigan before the SSC .
These documents were made available to the SSC
responsive to specific requests . They have been excised
and declassified where necessary . With regard to dissemi-
nation 0f FBI documents to the Select Committees of Congress,
both the White House and the Department have held that,
once a document has been excised, declassified and furnished
to either Select Committee of Congress, it is that Committee' s
property to do with whatever that Committee deems appropriate-
However_
9
we do have an
understanding with the Committee that
allows for more extensive excisions once the Committee decides
to make documents available to the press _ Personnel in the
Senstudy Project have reviewed the attached eight documents
and have made additional excisions which are acceptable to
the SSC, These excisions are designed to protect Bureau
sources, targets and, where possible, the identity of Bureau
personnel.
2-/(6273-95b
The contents of the documents that will be made
available generally portray the Bureau in a favorable light _
They highlight : (1) tight supervision and control of the
mail intercept programs; (2) general objectives of the program;
(3) accomplishments; and (4) Departmental officials' knowLedge-
of the existence of some of these programs .

SUBJECT : THE LONG COHMHIITTEE
The Attorney General called on te morning
February 27 , 1965 , to advise he wanted to consult with the
Bureau on
certain problens raised by the Long Committee which
is exploring the use of mail covers et cetera_ He noted there
was a possible problem concerning Chief Inspector Hontague S
testimony ard whether it was necessary for Siontague to change
his testinony . Als0 , ne felt that Internal Revenue Service naa
been using investigative techniques which they should not use
and this could pose 2 problen_ He said that the President had
asked hin to coordinate with all executive agencies concerning
the problems raised by the Long Committee
Inspector Moore and I met with the Attorney General 1
his office this afterncona Biz: Courtney Evans was present = I
told the Attorney General that in Montague ' S testinony he was
told by Attorney Fensterwald that if any of tke questions had
national security implicetions #ontague should not answer them.
Consequently Xontague wes estopped from doing other then ans6e
in the negative when asked questions touching on national
[security _ #ith this interpretation, it ms questionable whethe_
an attempt should be made to change or explain Hontague 5 2
testimonys [particularly in view of the obvious lack of judgmen}
Fon the Part of? Fensterwald and the desire of Long publicity
made it clear to the Attorney General that {rom our deaiings
with liontague , be was a mab of integrity and scrificed his
personal desires for the welfare of the country and had coopera
fuIly with us_ The Attorney General said he had no intention
of changing ore word of Kontague s testimony , but he was
considering advising Long and Fensterxald that there were
extrene delicate nationil security ratters touching on the area
being covered by the comaittee ahd there coul] be exceptions to

On the basis of this, he will be able to advise Senator Long
when he should steer clear of 2 sensitive area,
I told Mr . Katzenbach that I certainly agree that this
matter should be controlled at the comnittee level but that
I felt pressure would have to be applied So that the personal
interest of Senator Long became involved rather than on any
ideological basis_ Hr _ Katzenbach said that he had already
talked to Vice President Humphrey about Fensterwald who he
considered a wild m2n, and that Humphrey had promised to talk
to Long concerning Fensterwald Katzenbach said that in
addition to the Vice President he might have to resort to
pressure from the President himself , although. he would prefer
to work it out without resorting to the President. He indicated
there #as 20 ore on the commitcee itself who could be helpful
@nd that he did not expect ary hclp from Senator Eastua@
Hr . Katzenbach said that he_cxpected troublefroi tbe
possible activitiesCof IRS and the military in the investigativel
field; that if some of these matters are uncovered before the
committee they will tend to undermine the restricted and
tightly controlled operations of the Bureau - I told him that
our operations are tightly controlled and particularly in the
delicate areas corcern, we restrict ourselves to inportant

0f the New York Office
that the JSam Survey Program be reinstituted.
BACKGROUND:

J
Wnich involved screening of air mail destined for
Selected European countries and cities by our Agent personnel in 20

044C
Which had operated in tne
H

3 In
July

1966 , this program was discontinued.
RECOMMENDATION Op NEH YORK:
Nel_York_points out that although aple_ evidence indicaze
the_presence 0f 2 substantial number of [Sovietf illegals the Burezi:
has been unsuccessful in locating &ny in recent years; that varicus
programs and projects put into operation have been unsuccessfyl
Further, it is its contention that the illegal S most vulnerable
area is still his letter writing and that this is the area_Wle_hav}
iithe_best chance by far' to locate and identify illegalsd Thereforze
> New York wishes te submit for the Bureau S consideration the
reinstitution of Sen Surveyi If this is not possible_ it recomrenz
that the Bureau consider requesting REtsbr postal Athorities to

Memorandum from Mr _ W. R. Wannall to Mr _ J. B Adams
Re: Senstudy
At the conclusion 0f the hearing, considerable
questions were asked concerning legislation or direction which
would be necessary from The Congress to permit the Bureau to
carry out mail opening programs which were productive in their
results and which would not at the same time invade the privacy
Of innocent American citizens _
ACTION:
This iS submitted for your information.
ADDENDUM BY LEGAL COUNSEL 10/23/75, JAM:mfd
I answered the Committee's questions described in the last
paragraph of this memorandum by explaining to them that in a security
case we would find it most difficult to meet the 4th Amendment standard
of probable cause in order to btain a search warrant. for mail. If we
are to be required to obtain warrants prior to obtaining mail and if we
are to be successful, a lower standard of probable cause such a8 is
permissible in administrative searches such as those conducted by
Health Inspectors would be necessary _ In answer to a specific question
I
explained that the Supreme Court has ruled that mail is protected absolutely,
by the 4th Amendment .

At the request of the Inter nal Secur Section,
"r William Zarker Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
9 was
contacted on
6/23/67 to determine the status of the IRS
case on Robert Shelton, Imperial Wizard of the United Klans
of America.
Parker advised that IRS had initiated investiga-
tion of- Shelton for possible tax evasion for the years 1963
through 1965 0 This case is still under investigation but
indications are that Shelton owes no income taxes for 1963
and 1965 and owes S100 in taxes for the year 1964 According
{0 Parker , it appears that the criminal tax investigation
of Shelton will be closed and the case Will be referred
L0 the Audit Division of IRS f0r civil disposition.

Assistant Attorney General Burke Marshall of the Civil Rights
Division has asked that we give him a statement concerning the Communist
Party affiliation of Hunt er Pitts 0'Dell. We have called to his attention
current reports which have been furnished to the Security Division; Attention
Mr. Walter Yeagley, concerning 0'Dell's activities.
Marshall was interested in 0'Dell's association with Rev. Martin
Luther King and he was given & copy of a report of Special Agent James F.
0'Connell dated 12/20/82 at New York; which was classified "Confidential"
which had been disseminated to Walter Yeagley of the Security Division.
This report reflected the current association of 0'Dell and the organization
of Rev. namely , the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC):
In addition to the above we als0 furnished him a copy of a memorandum
from the Director to the Attorney General dated 12/6/62 and another dated 1/23/63,
pertaining to O'Dell;
Marshall stated that upon review of the above information which was
furnished to he would like to have a statement from the FBI concerning
the present Communist affiliation of 0'Dell, particularly, whether 0'Dell
actually is a member of the Communist Party at this time.
I advised Marshall that an appropriate memorandum would be
prepared and furnished to him concerning his request: There is attached
hereto & memorandum which has been prepared by the Security Division
indicating that we have developed evidence through our coverage of the
activities of the Communist Party, USA, which indicates that as of July, 1982,
Party leaders considered 0'Dell to be a member of the Party_ It is being
pointed out that this information is highly sensitive and confidential:

By way of background, Marshall indicated that the basis for his
request stems from the necessity of having to talk with Rev. Martin Luther
King with reference to O'Dell. He stated that an inquiry has been received
from King about O'Dell and apparently the Department wants to_be able to
adequately handle this inquiry_
ACTION:
If approved, attached memorandum to Burke Marshall will be
handed to him_ It is brief and specifically points out the need to treat
this information as highly sensitive and confidenttal.

HUNTER PITTS O'DELL;
STANLEY LEVISON;
COMMUNIST NFLUENCE N
THE NEGRO MOVEMENT
L
Assistant Attorney General Burke Marshall telephoned and
advised that on instructions of the Attorney General he wanted to clear
with us the rough draft of a memorandum which he was going to send
to the Bureau. As a matter of fact, the Attorney General has approvec
the rough draft contingent upon our approval
F okl
The proposed memorandum, a copy of which is attached,
;relates to Hunter Pitts 0 'Dell and Stanley Levison and action taken to 1
advise Dr:_ Martin_LuthexKing &nd his #ediate associates of the
communist activities on the part of 0'Dell and Levison: Marshallstates
0
that some time ag0 it was not felt wise, in view of the position of the FBI
8 informant, for Marshall to say that he knew 0'Dell to be under communistfr
control. Instead, he informed Dr. King and two of his immediate
H
associates that 0'Dell was believed by many people to have had communist
connections and his association with Dr_ King's organization was nof
N
in its : best interest.
Subsequently , on June 22, 1963 , accor- ding to Marshall's
proposed memorandum, he brought this matter very explicitly to
Dr. King's attention: Later that same both the Attorney General
and the President, separately, strongly urged Dr: King that there should
be no further connection between 0'Dell and the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference (SCLC). Thereafter the Attorney General and
Marshall received copies of a letter dated July 3, 1963, from Dr_ King
to 0'Dell. In this letter King makes reference to a resignation which
0'Dell submitted some months ag0 which was accepted because of the
0
SCLC's firm policy that no communist or communist sympathizer would
be on the staff_ Dr. King's letter continues by noting an investigation

Memorandum to Mr. Belmont
had been conducted buat they were unable to discover any present
connections-with the Communist Party by 0'Dell:
further tells 0'Dell that the situation is such that the
organization cannot even afford the risk of impressions about communist
inspiration and therefore 0'Dell's temporary resignation is being made
permanent.
Mr. Marshall's proposed memorandum also advises that he
informed Dr. King on June 22, 1963, Stanley Levison was & secret
member of the Communist Party. This action was taken on directi on
of the Attorney General and the President: Marshall had previously
warned Dr. King about any association with Levison: This was the
first indication given him of firm information Levison was under
communist control: intelligewa &
0 N
Fa-ei N
As a matter of background, our early information concerning
the communist connections involved here came fromlonezof-ouratwo
Iest highly-placed communist-informants-(NY69FF-S" To protectbhis:;
"mostvakuable-informant we insisted Levison and O 'Dell not be informed by Kins
we had positive information of their communist connections:
Subsequently, with the passage of time so that the risk to
the informant was not jeopardized, the Director in a personal
conversation with the Attorney General on June 17, 1963 agreed
Dr_ Martin Luther King could be informed that he should rid of
Levison and 0'Dell because are members of the Communist Party.
It was on the basis Of this advice from the Director that action was taken
by the Attorney General and the President.
ACION TO BE TAKEN:
While Mr. Marshall's proposed memorandum does not spell
out the sequence of events here in detail, his summary is nevertheless
accurate and it is therefore believed we should inform Mr. Marshall
that he should feel free, of course; to submit the memorandum as he_
drafted it: IE approved; Mr- Marshall will be so advised telephonically.

This matter had been brought to the attention

of the Bureau' s information to state that I knew 0'Del1

questions whether I had hard evidence of 0' De11' s
Communist connections , however, I replied that I was not
in 8 position to give any .
~Eollowing further conversations with Mc . Bvans
in June, however , I brought the matter to the attention
of Dr . King very explicitly in my office on the morning
of June 22 prior to a scheduled meeting which Dr . King

Dear Jack;
Several monthg ago you 8ubmitted your resignation pending an
invegtigation Of your alleged affiliation with the Communist
party, 38 wag guggested by &n article to this effect in the
Brmingham and New Orleans newspapers. We accepted this
temporary resignation because of SCLC'8 firm policy that no
Communigt nor Communiet sympathizer can be on our staff or
{n our memberghipo We felt that it was {mperative to conduct
an Immediate inveetigation. A8 you know , we conducted wbat we
felt to be a thorough inqulry into these charge8 and were unable
to dlgcover any pregent connectiong with the Communiet party on
your part,
The gituation in our country i8 guch, 'however, that any allusion
to the left bringg forth an emotional responge which would 8eer
to indicate that SCLC &nd the Southern Freedon Movement are
Communlat ingpired: In thege critical times we cannot afford to
rlek any guch irnpre8sions. We; therefore, have decided in our
Adminiatrative Committee, that we ghould requeet you to make
Your terporary resignation permanent.
We certainly appreciate the years of unselfish gervice which you
have put into ouz New York Office, and regret the neceasity 0f
your departure. Certainly, yourg i8 & 8ignificant 8acrifice coms
mengurate With the Bufferinge in jail and through 1o8s 0f jobe

nation may be truly the land 0f the free.

RACIAL SITUATION Hr Baungardnerim
In talking with the Attorney General and Assistant AG
Marshall, of the Civil Rights Division reference was made to our
earlier conversation concerning{Congzessional requests wlich had been
received by the Director
}
relating to alleged commnunist influence in
the.racial_demonstrations The Departient "s original "position was
thai there Ias no immediate urgency in recontacting Senator Honroney =
in view 0f recent contacts had with him by Departmental representatives _
Today , I pointed out that these requests should not be allowed to
remain unresolved too long _
Assistant AG {iarshall advised that he bad drafted 2 proposed
letter to be used in replying to these Congressional requests, since
he had ascertained that a written reply is desired, particularly by
Senator Monroney In his letter Earshall proposes to paraphrase the
President' s statement at his press conference on 7/17/63 , Harshall's
letter will, 0f course mal-e no rezerence to the President's state-
ment , but merely indicate that this is the conclusion , predicated
upon reports and other information supplied to the Department .
In those instances where the Department 15 dealing with a
Member of Congress believed to be trustworthy , Barshall plans to
deliver his letters personally and to explain that the classified
nature 0f the reports precludes the furnishing 0f specific informa -
tion in writing or in testimony _ Ifarshall feels that he can talk
confidentially in this way to Senator Hagnuson and thus forestall any
requests for further information Ir vas noted that as a result of
the Director s conversation with the Attorney General Harshall bad
spoken with Martin Luther King about the dangers 0f his associating
with Stanley Levison and accepting assistance from him It was,
therefore, believed that since this may back to ileubers of
Congress _ Marshall should talk with the individual Senators, where
this can be done on a confidential basis
Marshall said he would, 02 course, keep us advised of the
results of his contacts in this regard .

SUBJECT: MARTIN LUTHER KING IS
RACIAL MATTERS
ELsUK
SA Don Roney of the New York Office advised thatJNY 3810-83
on 5/30/63 furnished information concerning a conversation' on that date
between Martin Luther King and Stanley Levison, who has been a secret
Communist Party member and has contributed Tunds to the Communist
Party on a regular basis: King stated that he had requested a conference
with the President and the Attorney General because King thought that now
was a good time for such a conference_ Levison agreed. Levison stated
that there has never been an Administration in this country that has been
as worried about the Negro problem as the present one. Levison continued
that this is brought about by the Administration 1 s concern with the common
market problem in Europe. I was Levison' s opinion that United
prestige is very important at this time and the inability to control the
racial situation was making it more difficult: It was Levison's opinion
that the needs 0f the President are SO great that he is all ready
for & different policy if it can bring about the kind of controlled situation
that he feels he needs.
King and Levison agreed that the situation has to be kept moving
so that the President will have to look for an alternative The President can
then be presented with certain alternatives. This will benefit the President;
for then his problem; fear of violence, will be done away with: It was
Levison's thought that the President is all ready to make a change: A
conference now would be fruitful,.but if a conference cannot be worked
out, then the movement must be enlarged: King stated that he would like
to so much pressure on the President that he would have to sign an
Executive Order making segregation unconstitutional:
Levison said that the method of negotiating used in Birmingham
will set the pattern for a whole series of southern cities: That you come
in with a package, come up with demands, discuss them and come out with &
3
victoryo You &sk for more than you expect to get: The goals of the movement;
according to Levisons
are desegregation, jobs and the right to vote_ The

Levison stated that the method of negotiation used in
Birmingham, Alabama, Will set the pattern for & series of Southern
cities. He explained this method by stating that you come in with &
package, come up with demands, discuss them and come out with a
victory, and that in so you ask for more than you expect to get.
Fe described the goals of the movement as desegregation, jobs and
the right to vote. He described the tnethods 0f Obtaining these goals
a3 being direct action, nonviolence and negotiation.
As previously mentioned to you, another source who has

On a regular basis.
I advised the Attorney General of the above information
and he suggested that the President shoukd see thisletter.

Party affiliation of Hunt er Pitts 0'Dell: We have called to his attention
current reports which have been furnished to the Security Division;, Attention
p
Mr. Walter Yeagley, concerning 0'Dell's activities.

Luther and he was given a copy Of a report of Special Agent James F:
0'Connell dated 12/20/62 at New York, which was classified "Confidential"_
which had been disseminated to Walter Yeagley of the Security Division.
This report reflected the current association of O'Dell and the organization

Memo to Mr- Belmont om A. Rosen
Re:-Hunter Pitts 0'Dell
By way of background; Marshall indicated that the basis for his
request stems from the necessity of having to talk with Rev. Martin Luther
King with reference to O'Dell. He stated that an inquiry has been received
from King about 0'Dell and apparently the Department wants to be able to
adequately handle this inquiry.
ACTION:
If approved, attached memorandum to Burke Marshall will be

Assistant Attorney General Burke Marshall of the Civil Rights

NKing with reference to Jack Hunter 0'Dell
#27
By way of background, he stated that an inquiry has been
received from King about 0'Dell and apparently the Department wants
to be able to talk to about 0'Dell_
Before Marshall can do this he states he would like to have
whatever background information we have on O'Dell: In this regard;
it is noted that O'Dell is supposed to be a member of the Communist
Party and has in the past been associated with the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference_ This is King'S organization: We have in the
past furnished information to the Department concerning 0'Dell and his
association wth Rev. King:
Marshall should be furnished with memoranda which have
heretofore been given to the Security Division: It iS understood that
a report of O'Dell's activities is also available and has been furnished
to the Security Division but has not been to the Civil Rights
Division. It would appear that Marshall is entitled to this information
if he is to properly evaluate 0'Dell's background:
Marshall has asked for a summary on O'Dell: If such is not
readily available, copies of material previously furnished to the Depart-
ment would seem to suffice. He stated he has been in touch with the
AR;mpd (8) Attorney General on this matter and is anxious to
have it handled as soon aS possible_

SUBMect : THE LONG COMMITTEE
The ' Attorney General called on the morning of
{ February 27 , 1965, to advise he wanted to consult with the
Bureau on certain problens raised by the Long Committee
8
which
is exploring the use of mail covers et cetera _ He noted tbere
was a possible problem concerning Chief Inspector Hontague S 6
testimony and whether it was necessary for Montague to change
8 his testimony . Als0
1
he felt that Internal Revenue Service had
G been using investigative techniques which they should not use
and this could pose a problem _ He said that the President had 4
asked him to coordinate with all executive agencies concerning
4
Ii
the problems raised by the Long Committee.
Inspector Hoore and I met with the 'Attorney General in
his office this afternoon. Mr _ Courtney Evans was present I
told the Attorrey General that in Montague 's testimony he was
told by Attorney Fensterwald that if any 0f the questions had
national security implications Montague should not answer them :
Consequen lontague was estopped from doing other than ansier
in the negative #hen asked questions touching on national
isecurity. With this interpretation, st was questionable whether
an attempt should be made to change or explain Hontague S
testimony , particularly in viem of the obvious lack of judgment
#8n the part of Fensterwald and the desire of Tong for publicity.
I made it clear to the Attorney General that from our dealings
witth Montague
}
he was a man of integrity and scrificed his
personal desires for the welfare of the country and had cooperate
fkIly with us The Attorney General said he had no intention
ofchanging ope word of Kontague S testinony , but he was
considering advising Long and Fensterwald that there Were
extreme delicate national security matters touching on the areas
being ccvered by the comnittee and there cou ld be exceptions to
the answers given in the testimony when they touched an such
sensitive security matters_ He said further that he contemplated
seeing Senator Long and impressing on him that che commniitee
would not want to stunble by mistake into an area of extreme
interest to the national security as they nearly did in a matter

Hemorandun to Hr _ Tolson
Re : The Long Committee
affecting CIA. (Apparently CIA wind Qf some inquiries by
the committee relative to their secret operation and went to
the committee and warned them off.) Katzenbach contemplates
asking for a list of the witnesses who will appear before the
committee together with a brief summary of the expected testimony
On the basis of this, he will be able to advise Senator Long
when be should steer clear of 2 sensitive area ,
I told Mr _ Katzenbach that I certainly agree that this
matter should be controlled at the committee level but that
I felt pressure would have to be applied so that the personal
interest of Senator Long became involved rather than on any
ideological basis_ Mr _ Katzenbach said that he had already
talked to Vice President Humphrey about Fensterwald who he
considered a wild man , and that Humphrey had promised to talk
to Long concerning Fensterwald_ Katzenbach said that in
addition to the Vice President he might have to resort to
pressure from the President himself , although. he xould prefer
to work it out without resorting to the President. He indicated
there was RO one on the committee itself who could be helpful
and that he did not expect any help from Senator Eastijan4
Hr . Katzenbach said that he expected troublefrom tre
possible activities of IRS and the rilitary in the investigative
field; that if sone of these matters are uncovered before the
committee they wi 11 tend to undermine the restricted and
tightly controlled operations of the Burezr I told him that
our operations are tightly controlled and particularly in the
delicate areas of concern, we restrict ourselves to important
security matters.
Hr . Katzenbach said he was going to see Senator Long
on Honday and wacted to know if the Bureau would like someone
to go along with him, I told bim no,
ACTION:
Hr . Katzenbach said he would advise us of the results
of his conversation with Long . He also asked that I advise
the Director of our discussion and I told him I would.

Dear Mr _ Attorney General:
The Select Comittee is presently investigating the
activities of the Federal Bureau of Investigation carried
on as pert 0f the COINTELPRO program_ We appreciate the
cooperation of the FBI and the Justice Department in
making materials available to uS in this area However
one problen remains to be resolved. The Committee believes
its staff must contact and interview certain persons who
received information from the FBI in the course 0f
COINTELPRO operations The FBI has withheld the names of
such persons from the Committee S use On the grounds that
J1 they were FBI sources
The Committee wishes to stress that it is not inter-
ested in questioning these persons about any role as a
"source" but rather as a recipient of information from
the FBI Indeed in instances we would not have been
aware that the
dndividaat
was a 11 source T had not the FRI
excised the name from the materials delivered to uS
Nevertheless to mininize any incidental deleterious effects
on legitimate FBI operations the Committee has selected a
very limited number of persons whon we desire to contact
and interview _ (See attached list and materials )
As you will recall we originally discussed this
matter with you SOne weekz agc Since then the Committee
has had an opportunity to consider the issue more fully in
the light 0f our
experience with_ other investigations For
example our inquiry into the relationships between the
FBI and the Internal Revenue Service clearly showed the

need to use the names of IRS personnel who cooperated with
the FBI in certain COINTELPRO activities _ Those names
were made available to uS for our use
As I am sure you can appreciate
)
what is at stake
here is the investigation 0f serious breaches of the
security and confidentiality 0f information obtained by
the FBI Such infornation was apparently disclosed or
"leaked" for the purpose of disruption_ The full extent:
0f such disclosures in many of the cases such as the
efforts to discredit Dr _ Martin Luther Jr is still
unknown Surely, it would be incongruous for an inquiry
into these matters to be impaired on the grounds 0f the
FBI' & interest in preserving confidentiality.
The Committee has a clear mandate and a firm commit-
ment to investigate allegations that the FBI attempted to
harass and discredit individuals The integrity of this
investigation depends upon our
ability
to conduct inter-
views without the appearance of outside interference
Therefore we hope you have no objection to our conducting
the interviews 0f the persons on the attached list, but if
you
please contact me by Tuesday October 21 _
Sincerely,
L
