Moore Mr . Loch Johnson, Senate Select Committee July 28, 1975 Mr . Johnson stated at the outset that this was an informal interview and he did not place me under oath. He asked about my background which wa 5 provided him and included the fact that I served in the FBI from March 10 , 1941, until my retirement at the end of June 1973_ The interview concerned the so-called Huston Committee and he asked if I knew Tom Charles Huston before the Committee was established. I said I recalled meeting Huston once, in Bill Sullivan'8 office, but I didn't recall when this was , but it was before the Committee wa8 formed. In response to questions, Mr. Johnson sas informed as follows: I wa5 aware of the meeting at the White House attended by Director Hoover , Mr _ Helms , Admiral Gayler and Gen. Bennett. I was probably aware the meeting was to take place before the meeting date but I can't recall this_ (He said the meeting was held June 5, 1970. ) I was not at a meeting held in Mr _ Hoover' s office June 8 but I recall hearing about the meeting, probably from Bill Sullivan. I don't recall & meeting held in the Domestic Intelligence Division after this at which Sullivan, Bill Cregar, George Moore, Fred Cassidy &rd I were present. I did attend the initial meeting of the Working Group headed by Sullivan and wa s present because Sullivan asked me to be there. I remember Sullivan and Cregar were at the meeting and I thought one or more other FBI representatives were present. He mentioned George Moore and Fred Cassidy were at the meeting I recall Mr Helms and Mr _ Angleton from,CIA were present but did not recall the names of others including the representatives from NSA, DIA and the military services_ I recall Sullivan chaired the meeting and that Huston sat at the opposite end of the table _ Either Helms or Sullivan announced that Helms probably couldn't for the entire meeting but I don't recall Helms leaving, although he did not sit directly at the conference table. #mdei6 "T?y CONTA IAO ISI,@ {eLioo Spz #Lmky6 NWV 88326 Docld:32989627 17 ENCLOSURE; b1-(/639,"- 643 by stay Page ================================================== Page 18 ================================================== I can't recall the conversation at the meeting but think that Sullivan outlined the request of the President to study means of getting better intelligence information on new left activities and violent protest movements in the US, especially with regard to possible foreign support. I think Sullivan probably outlined areas of concern and asked representatives present to document where felt intelligence wa s lacking, how it could be obtained, who should obtain it and what was needed to obtain it. I said [ couldn't at this date recall specific observations or proposals and rather believed the purpose of the meeting was to outline the general problem and ask the representatives to document these and come in with specific recommendations at & subsequent meeting. I am certain Mr _ Huston spoke about the purpose of the meeting but I can't recall his corments . This wa s the meeting of the Working Group I attended. I told Mr _ Sullivan that if agreeable with him I would not attend subsequent meetings and I thought the FBI had several representatives present and that the thrust was on new left and related activities. As I recall he said "suit yourself. ti Johnson pressed me on this and I told him this was what I expressed to Sullivan but I also wa5 somewhat uneasy after the first meeting a8 I did not believe Mr _ Hoover wa $ aware of collection efforts that were likely to be recommended. I could not state what FBI members attended subsequent meetings but I believe Charles Brennan and Bill Cregar , and of course, Bill Sullivan, attended as well as some other representatives . I can't say who drafted the report but was sure it was under Sullivan' s direction. During the period of the meetings Deke DeLoach had retired and Sullivan had been appointed Assistant to the Director and moved from the 9th & D Building to the Justice Building. I don't recall when Mr _ Hoover S objections to certain of the recommendations were added. I can't say whether I saw the report prior to the objections being in it but may have; [ do recall seeing the report after the objections were in it. I don't know whether Mr . Hoover told Sullivan to put the objections in it but presume Sullivan knew Mr Hoover s views and the objections in on this basis. I could not answer the question &s to whether Mr Tolson was the person responsible for having the objections made but felt he would have objected to the initial recommendations _ 2 - NW 88326 Docld:32989627 Page 18 they only put ================================================== Page 19 ================================================== I did see the letter from the White House saying the report had been approved. I believe it was signed by Huston and stated the President had approved the recommendations_ I was aware Mr _ Hoover had either written or seen Attorney General Mitchell expressing his reluctance and wa S aware the White House letter was withdrawn. I din't know it was withdrawn other than this occurred after Mr Hoover went to the Attorney General. Mr _ Johnson asked certain specific questions during or after the above discussion. He asked what covert mail coverage wa8 involved since CIA in 1970 was engaged in covert mail inter- ception After checking with Mr . Leon F_ Schwartz of the FBI, Mr Johnson was advised that while I had been released from my pledge of confidentiality by the FBI in general with regard to the Huston Committee this matter was under review by the Department of Justice and I had not been released from my pledge on this aspect. A similar answer was given to the question about what was meant by the removal of restrictions on the use of surreptitious entry Of embassies io obiain crypiographic IIlaierials. Mr . Johnson asked if I thought the Huston Committee had been instigated by Bill Sullivan to more or less force Mr _ Hoover to take a more aggressive stance in intelligence collection. I answered that I would not like to speculate on this and I could not make a definite statement yes or no. He asked the Working Group met at CIA as opposed to the FBI and whether this had special meaning. I answered that I did not think SO , that the US Intelligence Board was headed by the Director of CIA, was concerned with intelligence collection and met at CIA and also meeting arrangements could probably be better arranged at CIA in view of parking, conference rooms, etc_ He said Admiral Gayler had stated that he and his predecessor, Gen. Carter_ had tried to get Mr _ Hoover to provide more support to NSA with regard to Communications Intelligence and asked if I was aware of any such efforts, and if were in person or in writing. I said I was aware that Gen_ Carter and Adm. Gayler had asked for support and I believe might have seen Mr. Hoover personally and perhaps had written him. 3 NWV 88326 Docld:32989627 Page 19 why why they they ================================================== Page 20 ================================================== YOTE: SEE instructiOns On REVERSE CLASSIFY As APPROPR !ATE BEFORE COMPLETiNG _ TO: Intelligence Comunity Staff FROM: ATTN: Central Index at SUBJECT: Abstract of Information Provided to Select Committees Kow PROV DED check appropriate term.

It is evident then that this authority lpertains only to proceedings hela within the judicial system, not to hearings held before a legislative body.

Donahue 441 G0"5 SCBjECT : YLEGAL_AUTHORITY_QF THE FBI TO_LSE CONFIDENTTAL TNFORMANTS T3 loo As AN INVESTIGATIVE TECHNQWE ~rate The legal uthority of the FBI to use confidential informants &8 an investigative technique rests upon three factors: 1) Legislative authority embodied in the approval of the annual appropriation. 2) Case law that the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments do not protect & wrongdoer from the use of informants: 3) Case law reflecting that corts recognize the necessity and utility of informants in providing prOiaiie cause iul' Iaking arzesta witkcut & warrant, and for obtaining warrants, provided that certain conditions are met. Regarding the first of the above-cited factors, reference is made to the "Hearings Before & Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, Departments of State, Justice and Commerce, the Judiciary and Related Agencies Appropriations for 1974. T' Pert I page 783 of those hearings, sets forth the - justification language for the 1974 budget estimate for FBI salaries and expenses. it iS noted that this language is the same as Uzed #A previous years except for underlined and bracketed changes_which do not affect this subject.

The use of informants does not violate the deiendant' : rights uder the Fourth Amendment. Hoffa V _ United States: 385 U.S. 293 (1966) . "Neither this Court, nor any member Of it has ever expressed the vieW that the Foirth Amend- ment protects a wrongdoer's misplaced belief that & person to whom he voluntarily confides his wrongdoing will not reveal it_ Indeed, the Court unanimously rejected that very contenti on ~~xin Lopez V United States, 373 U.S. 427---" Id.at 302 The Court als0 held that the use of an informer did not violate Hoffa'S rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments, citing United States_VDennis: 183 F.2d 201, 224, (1950), which said, "Courts have countenanced the use Of informers from time immemorial; in cases of conspiracy, or in other cases when the crime consists of preparing for another crime it is usually necessary to rely upon them or upon accomplices because the criminals will almost certainly proceed covertly _ 11 2 - NW 88326 Docld:32989627 7187 Page ================================================== Page 188 ================================================== Memorandum Donahue to Mr. Mintz Re: LEGAL AUTHORITY OF THE FBI TO USE CONFDENTIAL NFORMANTS AS AN INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUB Besides the explicit recognition reflected above of the right of investigative bodies to avail themselves of informants, there are other Supreme Court cases Ihich implicitly recognize this right by regulating the conditions under which an informant's 'identity need be revealed at trial. (Roviaro v_ United States, 353 U.S. 53 (1957)), or the conditions to be met in using an informant's information &S the basis of probable cause for an arrest without & warrant_ (Draper V _ United States, 358 U.S 307 (1959); McCray V Ilinois_ 386 U.S_ 300 (1967))_ Similarly , the Supreme Court has recognized that informant information may form the basis for a warrant application, provided the affidavit shows the underlying circumstances which would give reason to believe the informant is credible and circumstances showing the basis for conclusions reached by the informant. (Aguilar V_ Texas 378 U.S. 108 (1964))_ The above-cited cases show that While couris Jiav? circumscribed in several ways the uses to be made of informant information, there has always been & recognition of the fact that the informant is a basic and necessary weapon in law-enforcement's defense of society against crime.

Also, recently a former informant falsely alleged that iniormant's services were utilized the Bureau to infiltrate a defense camp: These accusations reemphasize the need for the careful and professional handling Of informants at all times: As you are aware under current policy; informants are advised to avoid becoming involved in defense plans or strategy in subversive-type cases or with anyone under criminal indictment: It is the responsibility of all Special Agents handling informants to insure that their informants are continually alert 80 that they Wlll avoia becoming invoived in defease matters and in the event an informant is requested to assist 01 partake in such matters, that the contacting Agent is immediately advised so that the matter will be recorded. l tne iniorqatit cainot avoid being involved, informant is not to report any information pertaining to defense plans or strategy and such incident must be promptly reported to the Bureau under the substantive case caption: In view of the above, the statement of cooperation normally signed by security and extremist informants is being amended to incorporate current policy regarding defense plans and strategy- Where it is not required a8 in criminal informant cases or it has not been practical to obtain & state- ment of cooperation, each handling Agent must orally advise the informant of the above, reduce it to writing, and record it in the informant's file.

It is contemplated that we will set up a Legai Attache's Office, with a group of 20 to 25 men for the purpose of taking charge 0f cleaning out communists in the Dominican Govern ment and advising the government of those. who may try to infiltrate into the government . This activity would take place first in the city of Santo Domingo, and then extend throughout the country until 811 communists have been spotted and the Dominican Government has been advised. A11 of the agents to be sent down should be fluent in Spanish and we should select any who have Dominican or Spanish blood; which will assist them in working inconspicuously with the populace. Relative to the Legal Attache, he should be 2 top man, fully experienced, as he will be dealing.with the President of the Dominican Republic and with our Ambassador there. ACTION : In, anticipation of the" above, the Director desires that we draw up suggestions for a Legal Attache and for a group of twenty to twenty-five men who can proceed; when so ordered, to the Dominican Republic for this purpose.

Accordingly , first we must do everything possible to assist Legal Attache, Santo Domingo, in his immediate task of developing quality sources of sufficient quantity to effect maximum coverage in the Dominican Republic _ In this regard, each office and Legal Attache must furnish to the Bureau within five days of the receipt of this letter under the caption of "DOMSIT" (code word for "Dominican Situation") the following: (1) Identities of any established sources (former or current) who are nOw in the Dominican Republic. (2) Persons in Dominican Republic known to personnel of your office who appear to have source potential: (3) Identities of any current security sources (regardless of nationality) who may be available for assignment (temporary or permanent) in the Dominican Republic if-such is considered feasible by Legal Attache, Santo Domingo_ This document is prepared in response to Your request and is not for disseni- nition outside Committee.

In addition to the Dominican requirements placed upon the Bureau, your attention is directed to over-all need for additional informants and sources in the Latin-American field: The reputation the Bureau has gained during recent Dominican crisis is due in large part to the results achiered in developing Dominican sources through a concentrated informant develop- ment program over the past several years. In view Of critical state f unrest in Latin America each office should survey its informant coverage in this field: If substantial numbers of nationals of any Latin-American country reside within the territory covered by your office, Bureau expects that you will have coverage sufficient to alert YOu to exile organizational activities of political nature, plots to overthrow existing governments _ and general intelligence data concerning the countries of interest: Informant development in this fiela is considered most important and any weaknesses which now exist must be overcome promptly by instituting an aggressive informant development program_ Very truly yours , John Edgar Hoover Director 6/2/65 SAC LETTER NO_ 65-31 2 NW 88326 Docld:32989627 Page 201 Any today, ================================================== Page 202 ================================================== Augua} 84, 1985 8804 p.@ MEMORANDUM TOR MR.

In accordance with the desire of the President arc recommendation of the Honorable Harvin Watson, Special Assistant to the President , that the FBI remain in the Domi:ican Republic, the Director 3 on 8/2/66 9 advised the Mhite House that our staff in Santo Domingo would be redueed to tnree cad and that henceforth this office Will be manned in a manner similar to that of our other Legal Attache Offices _ It will not be an operational office but rather will serve as a strateg:c listening post for intelligence data and as liaison Fith egencies of the Dominican Republic, a5 #ell as other agencies Of foreign governments in that country.

Legal Attache suggested the New York Office might have use of informant's services This information furnished to New York Office which replied that in the absense of organized activity informant would be 0f no use unless he came to New York with instructions from Dominican communist groups to reorganize activity. This, 0f course, is not a desirable situation. OBSERVATIONS : We believe Legal Attache, Santo Domingo 's recommendation to turn-DOM-+0 and DOH-12 over to CIA is sound , even though both of these sources are in 2 position to furnish valuable intelligence information to uS By making these informants available to the Agency we will avoid any possible duplication or conflict.

Action Memorandum The meaning of "demana" is not indicated, beyond subpoena, in the C.F.R. sections indicated_ This omission creates a need for an interpretation; for purposes of uniform Department of Justice reaction.

The call was received from Bureau Headquarters and the discontinuance was effected immediately Seidel 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 0f 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 investigations a great deal of intelligence information would be obtained therefore 2 it was Gebhardt S opinion that so-called intelli- gence type investigations should not be removed from or differentiated from criminal type investigations looking toward prosecutions since intelligence information is an outgrowth of the basic investigation _ 2 NW 88326 Docld:32989627 Page 270 ================================================== Page 271 ================================================== Gebhardt was asked if he felt the Cointelpro was a separate distinguished from the basic investigation and it was eneipladhed 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' s opinion such legislation should not be enacted_ and in reply to the question as to 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 circumstences 0f 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 by 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 0f the FBI and the Attorney General are nominated by the President , hearings are held before the various Congressional Comittees 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 FBI and if circumstances ever arose which circums tances he could not contemplated-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 was recently es- tablished and it was felt that this was a start and that this Committee should formalize and 3 NW 88326 Docld:32989627 Page 271 why good ================================================== Page 272 ================================================== 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 representafives 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 i8 excellent , should continue and there should be a free flow of 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 0f 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 if 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 al1
