Paul Wallach; staff member of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities, telephonically contacted me on 6-18-75 between 2:30 and 3 0'clock P. M. and inquired a8 to the status of a request by the Committee concerning mail cover information: He asked if I could furnish him a time when he might expect our response to be delivered to him_ He pointed out that he had had previous discussions with me and Mr _ Shaheen of the Department concerning this matter, and Mr _ Shaheen had indicated to him that he could expect the response to have been given to him by this time_ Mr . Wallach was informed that a time certain for delivery of a response concerning this request could not be given, and it was explained to him that a vast amount of material was being reviewed pursuant to request of the Senate Select Committee and other committees of Congress and that because of the amount of work involved in all these requests it was not possible to make a judgment as to the date of the response Mr _ Wallach indicated he felt he had been misled by Mr_ Shaheen into believing that he would have a response to his request and that he was going to recontact Mr. Shaheen. He made a general inquiry a8 to whether one Agent might be gathering all the information and a8 to whether he might be allowed to come to FBI Headquarters and review what has been gathered to this point. He was informed that all disclosures have_to receive proper Bureau approval and that it would not be possible for him to review such information in the absence of such approval: He asked if the Bureau could separate the response by making available immediately portions of the mail cover lists such as the identities of people who were the targets of mail covers in the domestic field. He again was informed that this was not posSible in the absence of proper approval. Mr. Wallach stated that he wanted me to know that he was in possession of a list of Bureau mail covers for the past five years which he had been furnished by a source whom he did not identify _ He was asked (1) if this list concerned the mail covers in the national security areas and, (2) was it a national list_ Mr. Wallach stated it was a national list in the national security areas_ He stated he was not sure of its accuracy_ He indicated that he would have no reservations about using the list to conduct the Senate Select Committee business and stated that inter- views may be conducted based on the list.

NW 88326 Docld:32989611 Page 98 ================================================== Page 99 ================================================== He was advised that the list would contain sensitive information which would seriously impair ongoing Bureau investigations. He replied that the names were not classified, and Since were not classified he would have no problem in using the list. It was explained to Mr _ Wallach that despite the-fact it was not classified the list would be extremely sensitive since it would impair many ongoing investigations and in many instances the very fact that we are interested in an individual indicates that we are in possession of sensitive information concerning that individual. Mr _ Wallach pointed out that if this were the case, acknowledging that he had been informed previously that one of the reasons for the necessity for closely reviewing the material to be made available was because of this problem, then the Bureau should come forward with its own list and out to him which f the names are sensitive and which are not. Mr _ Wallach stated that only one or two other people had knowledge of the fact he possessed such a list. -2- NW 88326 Docld:32989611 Page 99 they point ================================================== Page 100 ================================================== OPIIONAL fORM No. 10 5010-106 Hay 1962 Edition GSA GEN: REG.

One Of the questioners remarked that there appeared to be more O,C files than had been indicated; thet 8 larger number had been given to Attorney General Levip AI remarked that I would not Iow whether other fIles bad been added to the group after they had been delivered to Mr Felt.

Senate - We were taken to the sixth floor where we entered an empty office which contained telephone equipment, some chairs, and a desk: Mr. Gitenstein had apparently drawn up a list of questions he wished to discuss with Miss Gandy and he referred to this list throughout the questioning period. There is attached a rough draft memorandum consisting of four pages ad dated 15, 1975, wich was prepared by Miss Gandy concerning her recollection of what transpired during ji & the interview_ The interview incidentally_ 2 lasted until 1 p. m_ when a one-hour break was taken for lunch. The session reconvened at 2 p. m. and was terminated at 3 p.m_ 8 7 I am setting forth hereafter in numbered paragraphs | items which I recollect transpired during the interview which should be helpful in embellishing Miss Gandy's me morandum 8 (1) During the early part of the questioning; Mf. ` Gitenstein attempted to draw a chart of Mr_ Hoover' s office in the Department of Justice building: He said he had previously visited Mr Kelley' s suite in the Justice Building: His effort at charting the office was poor at best and he reque sted my assistance_ A rough chart was drawn showing Mr. Hoover' s personal office on one end and Miss Mooney'8 office on the other end. In making up the chart I inadventently left out the supply room which, of course, would have been of little or no Significance to the questioners since this room contained supplies only and no files. l 2 - Ilk 39s--318 NWV 88326 Docld:32989611 Page 120 May May Hol ================================================== Page 121 ================================================== (2) 'Sometime during the interview_ Mr. Gitenstein raised a question about "Expedite Processing" of mail and how it was handled in Mr. Hoover' s office- Miss Gandy pointed out that the handling of personal and confidential mail for Mr: Hoover was handled by Miss Mooney and she, Miss Gandy, was just how this mail was handled. I explained that all Bot #FeceRtecontidential in the Routing Unit of the Records ad Communications Division was taken unopened to Miss Mooney in Mr_ Hoover' s office where she opened this mail and the clerical employee who brought the mail down then logged it in and stamped the mail 'Expedite Processing" on the left-hand edge. Thereafter the clericd employee would take the back to the Routing Unit and when the mail was Subsequently returned to the Routing Unit for regular filing purposes the item would be crossed off the Mr_ Gitenstein wanted to know if the "Expedite Processing" logs were maintained permanently and he was informed that to my knowledge were not kept after accounting for the particular items of mail contained on the particular (3) Mr_ Epstein qlestioned Miss Gandy at length concerning her title as "Executive Assistant: " He wanted to know when she acquired this title and she said she could not recall. He wanted to know whether anyone else at the FBI had occupied this position and Miss Gandy explained that she was the oly employee with the title of Executive Assistant who had served under Mr. Hoover during his tenure in office_ Mr_ Epstein seemed to pay & great deal of attention to the title Executive Assistant and I endeavored to explain to him that the title was a Civil Service Commission title and that Miss Gandy's position-was set up under the Classification Act administered by the Civil Service Commission_ Although I am not' sure what was behind Mr Epstein's lengthy questioning about) this matter I the impression he might be trying to find out if Miss Gandy acted for Mr. Hoover on her own initiative- This is just a guess on my part and I am not sure what was behind his questioning: (4) During Miss Gandy's description of the various offices, she did mention specifically the fact that the interesting case files were maintained on the shelves in the conference room in black folders_ They asked what the interesting case files consisted of and I explained this to their satisfaction; namely, that they were writeups of closed cases which might be 0f int erest for various purposes. 2 NW 88326 Docld: 32989611 Page 121 log log they log- got big ================================================== Page 122 ================================================== (5) I should mention that Miss Gandy in describing exactly how Mr. Hoover's personal correspondence files were destroyed said she reviewed each item that she handled to make sure that it was not related to Bureau official business_ She had previously indicated that Mrs. Erma Metcalf had assisted her in destroying these files but she did not mention that Mrs. Metcalf endulged in the same type of review and Miss Gandy was not questioned whether Mrs. Metcalf had made Such a review a8 she went through the files and helped destroy them_ (6) Both Mr. Gitenstein and Mr_ Epstein queried Miss Gandy at length about the log kept in the Telephone Room of all calls taken by Mr. Hoover. They also queried her at length concerning a log that was kept in the Telephone Room of all visitors to FBI Headquarters who were seen by Mr. Hoover. Miss Gandy explained that these logs, to her knowledge, were currently retained in the regular Bureau file room_ (7) Miss Gandy was asked regarding Mr. Hoover' s commitments and she explained that each morning the employees in the Telephone Room prepared a commitment card of Mr Hoover' s commitments for the and this card was placed on Mr. Hoover's desk the first thing in the morning for his information. Miss Gandy reported that she received a copy of this commitment card. She was asked whether these commitment cards were retained permanently and she replied in the negative. Somewhere along the line it was explained to the interviewers that the Bureau had an instruction that all items of a temporary nature, Such as ticklers and the like were to be destroyed after they were 90 days old. Miss Gandy indicated these commitment cards would have come under this category for destruction_ Miss Gandy was queried at length a8 to just how the Telephone Room employees their information to make up the commitment card and she explained that all employees in Mr_ Hoover' s office made certain the Telephone Room employees were promptly advised of all of Mr. Hoover'S commitments as they were made_ (8) In explaining the telephone set-up in the Deprtment of Justice building as far as it related to the FBI, the Staff members were informed that calls for Mr Hoover were received in the Bur eau'8 switchboard and were then referred to the Telephone Room in Mr. Hoover' s office and the employees in the Telephone Room handled the problem of connecting Mr. Hoover with the caller_ They wanted to know whether employees in the Telephone Room screened Mr. Hoover's telephone calls and were informed Telephone Room employees did not screen them except for "nut" calls. (9) During & rather heated conversation in the afternoon about some of the questioning being done which seemed to be repetitious and NW 88326 Docld:32989611 122 3 day got they Page ================================================== Page 123 ================================================== irrelevant, Mr. Gitenstein was told by me that I felt it was high time the questioners quit "beating around the bush" and came to the point by asking Miss Gandy if she had ever destroyed any official and confidential files. Mr. Gitenstein replied they had a discrepancy concerning the 0 and C files in that a reliable source had reported that Mr. Mark Felt had five two-drawer cabinets marked "0 and C Files" in his Office_ Miss Gandy on the other hand told Mr_ Gitenstein in response to a question that she had turned over to Mr. Felt after Mr. Hoover' s death, a8 she recollected; one and one-half drawersand possibly two drawers: of 0 and C files. I explained to Mr: Gitenstein that Miss Gandy would have no way of knowing what files Mr _ Felt had in his office and if there was a discrepancy the person to resolve the discrepancy was Mr. Felt who Mr. Gitenstein had told me previously had been interviewed by him and had been cooperative I had previously explained to Mr _ Gitenstein in response to que stions he asked me when I appeared before the Staff that at the time Mr. William C. Sullivan had furnished the data of the 17 White House telephone taps to Mr Mardian in the Internal Security Division of the Department that Mr. Hoover had instru cted that any Assistant Director or Bureau official who had any files in his office he considered to be confidential and relating to the Bureau's work were to be immediately transferred to Mr. Felt and a memorandum prepared concerning exactly what was transferred to Mr. Felt. I told Mr_ Gitenstein I had no idea how many files Mr- Felt collected as a result of Mr. Hoover' S instructions_ It is interesting to note that I was not asked at any time whether I ld turned over any files to Mr. Felt in connection with Mr_ Hoover' s instructions. (10) Miss Gandy was asked whether there were any files rof Mr. Hoover's personal correspondence in Mr. Hoover' s former hone at the present time_ Miss Gandy replied no. (11) At some point during the interview a reference was made to the confidential trash baskets maintained in the Bure au, to wit, the trash baskets with the painted rimt' on Mr_ Epstein wanted to know if a log was maintained of items placed in the confidential trash baskets for destruction. I informed him it wuld be ridiculous to think that such a could be maintained and he was advised exactly how confidential trash is destroyed in the Bureau: He was also informed of the Bureau files that were scattered over the streets of Southwest Washington as a result of the Department of Justice engaging in destruction 0f some of their files. This reference permitted an immediate termination of any questions along the lines of the destruction of confidential trash: 4- NWN 88326 Docld:32989611 123 top. log Page ================================================== Page 124 ================================================== (12) Miss Gandy refers to the fact that questions were raised concerning Mr_ Hoover' s back door entrance_ The questions concerning this back door were to determine just who used this back door entrance and its purpose In addition to explaining it was immediately adjacent to the elevators at 9th and Pennsylvania Avenue which Mr _ Hoover used to enter and exit the building, they were also advised that this was Mr_ Hoover' S private and personal entrance and that persons wishing to see Mr. Hoover were not brought through this back door. The foregoing is submitted for information purposes and as an auxiliary record of Miss Gandy' $ appearance before the Staff of the Senate Select Committee on 15 , 1975,` accompanied by me, John P_ Mohr. 5 - NW 88326 Docld:32989611 124 May Page ================================================== Page 125 ================================================== SEE instructions On REVERSE CLASSIFY As APPROPR IATE BEFORE COMPLETING.

D 'Cotter SUBJECT:FBI INTELLIGENCE LETTER FOR THE PRESIDENT This memorandum recommends that we extend our dissemination of the FBI Intelligence Letter (Inlet) to include Vice President Agnew. Inlet is outgrowth of Director's personal suggestion for a channel of high-level intelligence directly to the President. It has provided medium for furnishing President sensitive and top-level data in wh ich he would have direct interest and has been disseminated only to President and Attorney General. Since first Inlet issued 11/7/69 , we have prepared 86 issues which have summarized 120 indivicual items of significance o2 2 de range of topics, including racial violence, New Left intrigue, Soviet and communist bloc espionage, and important foreigu iuielligenc: data_ Material is presented in & one-page format tailored to the President's convenience. Vice President Agnew in recent conversations with the Director has indicated a kreen interest in the information the Bureau has been furnishing him in recent months regar domestic and foreign subversion. It is obvious the Vice President is relying on the Bureau a8 a key source of information. In view of Mr. Agnew's vital interest in these matters and the high position he occupies, it is believed we should at this time include him in dissemination to Inlet. ACTION: If the Director approves, the Vice President will be included in future dissemination of this material.
