In a memorandum of 5/28/76, Legal Counsel Divisionrecommended that INTD review all Departmental statementsincluding those by FBI personnel, concerning break-ins, todetermine whether any of such statements referred to by theAG needed to be retracted and/or clarified. These statementswere to include public speeches by the Director, AG, andother Departmental and FBI officials as well as theirtestimony before congressional committees.

As we are not in a position to know whattestimony has been given by Departmental officials orwhat speeches such officials may have made concerningsurreptitious entries, Douglas R. Marvin, Special Assistant tothe AG, was contacted on 6/21/76 by Inspector James C.Farrington, Legal Counsel Division. Mr. Marvin advised theFBI should only respond as to its own personnel in regard toparagraph three of the AG's letter of 4/29/76, and he wouldobtain the information as it pertains to Departmentalpersonnel. This should be confirmed in writing when thecommunication transmitting the results of our survey ofspeeches and testimony of Bureau personnel is sent!.

the general allegations in paragraph 33 he Genied he ha� noknowledge that_thc FBI had conducted break~ins against av?or YEA. If he had, he certainly would have furnished thisinfiiiiiion to the weoartwent. To the best of Special hqent

action during 1973, had noknowledge the FBI conducte� break�ins against SUP or YEA.

On April 13, 1975, this matter was discussed withSteven J. Glassnan, Assistant U. S. AttornoYr Southern Districtof New Yor?, who handled this civil action for the Government

Office. �ssistant W. S. Attorney Glassnan advised thatduring January, 1974, when he prepared the Covernnent'sanswer, he was unaware of the fact that the F51 had conducted

'break~ins against plaintiffs. to the host of his recollectionhe was first informed sometime subsequent to January,'l974,{exactly when, he does not recall! by TRI Feadqcarterspersonnel that there probably had been FBI break-ins againstSUP but that no records existed concerninq such break-ins.

� Ho request was made by Hr. Glassman, however, to officiallyadvise the H. S. Attorney, Southern District of wow York, _or the Dcoartment of this information. T�us, while theexistence of these break�ins was not officially drawn toMr. Classnan's attention in writing, this knowledge waswithin his cognizance. Hr. Glassman added that in his -opinion the Covernrent�s denial of allegations in the complaintconcerning �burclaries" was proper, for the illeqality of thisactivity was yet to be authoritatively determined.

APPENDIX

So_'alist_Horkers Party SWPL9% �,._,,. or _

The SWP is a revolutionary, Trotskyist-communistorganization, which is headquartered in New York City. Itspurpose, as stated in its Declaration of Principles, is theoverthrow of the U.S. Government and the institution of a dic-

tatorship of the working class and the eventual achievement ofa communist society. It was founded in 1938 and maintains closeassociation with international Trotskyist organizations as a�sympathizing" group, but it denies formal membership in anyforeign group to escape application of the Voorhis Act, whichregulates certain types of organizations subject to foreigncontrol. While the SWP does not openly advocate the use ofviolence at the present time to overthrow the U.S. Government,it believes that eventual violent revolution in the U-S is

inevitable. Its objection to the current use of violence isbased on the ground that it believes violence is premature atthis time. The SWP seeks to precipitate a revolution whenconditions are ripe and to seize control of the revolution andto direct it when it occurs.

65-8160

Attached is material received from Office of Con-

gressional Affairs, Legal Counsel Division, External AffairsDivision, and IS�2 Section, INTD, relating to the subjectof the AG's 4/29/76 request. A review of this materialindicates no need for retraction or clarification of state~ments before congressional committees about entries in general,or about the SWP matter.

Review of material furnished the Department'sCivil Rights Division by IS-3 Section, INTD, shows no materialwhich had not been promptly clarified or corrected, wherenecessary, by subsequent memoranda to that Division.

With respect to the Director's comments in a 7/14/75news conference, that there were no entries against domestictargets subsequent to 1966, an analysis of material availableto INTD shows that at the time of the Director's responsesINTD was not in possession of information suggesting entriesdid occur after 1966. The Director's comments were based

on then current information - information based on recol-

lections of INTD personnel-and the July, 1966, Sullivanto DeLoach memorandum regarding black bag jobs. Subsequentto the Director's conference statements, our inquiries offield offices surfaced information indicating entries didoccur after Mr. Hoover's instructions. The Civil RightsDivision has been kept fully apprised, and it is believedthere is no need to retract or clarify statements at thistime.

In view of recent statements to the press clarifyingcertain information furnished to them earlier, it is believedthere is no need at this time to further clarify remarksmade by Bureau officials.

Entry information located by us in mid-March,, was not furnished to Senate and House Select Committees

inasmuch as �! the House Committee's inquiry had ended,and �! the Senate Committee's report on entries was inpreparation. Further, since certain of the newly discoveredentries were within the Statute of Limitations, the Departmentinitiated an investigation and it did not appear appropriateto disseminate such information at that time to the SenateCommittee. .

to former Assistant Director Wannall, "Mr. Wamiall, has the FBI ever

participated in burglaries in order to obtain information for their

Mr. Wannall was asked by Congressman Stanton, "Could you tell me,

from I945 until the present, how many instances there were ?" 1

I am of the oninion that if a citizen sees a crime or knows of a ci'1_me1,11; i-onunittiid, he has a duty to report it to the proper authorities.

Mi-. Monrirr. When you are summoned before a congressional oom-mittee and queries are presented to you as to how many wiretaps exist.today in the United Stat:-1, was it a practice before the Director camedown to testify. to send oiit a noti�cation. �Take the wiretaps ell� for a_weclc or 2 so when I go to the committee I can testify that as of thisday there are only 10 or only 4 domestic wiretam existing"?

:-ti-muor BAKER. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This �nal question, Mr.lln-mien, since my time apparently has expired. Was your divisionihr one involved in any surveillance of political �gures at the Demo-ri-otic National Convention in 1968!

Mr. BRENNAN. Yes. sir. We developed all of the intelligence infor-mation relative to the activities of the dimidenta who went out toChicago to disrupt the convention. However, I don't recall any timethat any instructions were given to include aurveillances of, as yousay, political �gures Senator. _ _Senator Batten. Yes. I�m tllklllq about the allegations and thecharges that the FBI kept eurvei lance on Robert KBl'lIIQd£.I>lldSenator Edward Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and a nuin _r ofother political �gures, and that, in fact, there was a coinmiimcationalink-~ believe a telephone--from FBI headquarters in that cityto the White House-even to the Oval O�iee. '

Mr Bananas I am not familiar with such surveillancea. Butbasic��

Senator Baiiaii Youhe familiar with those allegations and charges!Mr Bani-man No As ainatter of fact, Pin not.Senator Baum You've never heard them before!Ivir �Bneuivair No. Not those �e ones.Senator Banana. Well, general y, maybe I m not describing it with

exact accuracyMr BRENNAN I recall that there was an Earth Day a�air, which I

believe Senator Muskie made a s h, or something, and I believe anFBI report dealt somehow witi the Senators appearance on thatoccasion But any information of that type was purely coincidentalto the investigative etlorts of the FBI which were basically directed:t the ac ists who were involvé. in tli% tyixs of rm� -"oer-t.e. Andanything related to political �gures was actua ly coincidental

Senator BAKER Pm told I was wrong It was not at the 1988 convention , it was the 1964 convention that I was referring to Does thatalter your answer at alll

Mr BIIFNNAN I had little knowledge of the 1964 convention ThatWas not coordinated out of the Domestic Intelligence Division It 1.8mi recollection that that was basically coordinated by Mr DBLOMSIL

some extent, discussed and, to some extent, publicized.

I am convinced that in these matters where there might be

some criticism, there is an underlying intent to do that

which is good for the Natibn? I have not coe across any

activities which I would construe as being illegal, being

directed toward personal gain or to enhance the reputation

of anyone. I see nothing untoward in these activities, in-._ ,

other words, as they will be reviewed by the various groups� .

Now, Mr. Kelley, Mr. Sullivan said about a week ago, that

he assumed there had been some national security break-ins

over the years and I'm just wondering if there have been

national security break-ins, say in the last five years,

roughly what number are we talking about and why aren't

they illegal? What's the legal authority? I

There have been statements made about surreptitious

entries and the latest was that statement made

by Mr. Sullivan who just retired as the Assistant

Director in Charge of the Los Angeles Office; and there

have been, of course, reports in the media that the

Department of Justice has been inquiring into allegations .

that our people have engaged in surreptitious entries or,, M

as they are sometimes termed, burglaries. Yes, the FBI

has conducted surreptitious entries in securing informatiol. 92

relative to the security of the Nation. However, in92l966,

all such activity was trminated with the exception of1 3 _Y

a small amount of actiéhs which were conducted in connecti

felt had a grave impact uponjthe security of the �ation.

adequate basis. As to the.programs, now, indi-vidually activities within those programs may besuspect. I have said and repeated that some ofthose activities I would not feel are proper today. Iwasn't there during the time that all of these programswere developed, nor certainly the approval of thevarious activities within those programs. Were I to .have been there, there is some that perhaps I mighthave said, �No I don't think this is proper.� I havethe benefit of hindsight. I have the benefit of exper-ience in local law enforcement which, I think, preparesme to better understand perhaps the impact of some ofthese types of things. They are not at all unknown inthe field of law enforcement. In some degree or anotheralmost

similar types of activities. Not perhaps to the sophistication

all the law enforcement has engaged in some

as the COINTEL Program, but the context of thetime is felt necessary in the present day. we realizethat different standards should be applied and they areand we do not engage in those activities now. SinceApril, 1971, we out them off.

NOTE TO CORRESPONDENTS AND EDITORS: The preced-

inguse

coment by Mr. Kelley concerning local policeof efforts similar to COINTELPRO may.be open

to misinterpretation. At his direction the FBIlater issued his clarifying statement: "I had inmind that law enforcement agencies have used '

methods designed to create disunity among thecriminal element, particularly in organized crimeand hoodlum gangs. Probably most common waslabeling a crime figure as a police informantto discredit and destroy his criminal influence.These activities to pit one crime figure againstanother have achieved success in neutralizingthe criminal element.'!

You said that you disagreed with some of the activities,that they were not proper programs. Alright, does thatmean that there are variations of COINTEL Programs 'still going on? - -

$4 QUESTION: _ �When you were an Agent did you engage in anyg _ _break-ins or were you aware of any break-ins?

Insofar as the matter which you are now discus-sing, I think that we can give substantially thesame answer to this. This isea matter which is -being investigated by the<Department and is beinginvestigated by the various comittees, particurlarly the Select Committee of Congress and, I'mnot saying that Clarence Kelley engaged in suchactivites, or did not engage in these activities.I'm merely saying that these have been presentedfor review and they will, thereafter, be discussedat some length and any publicity that might begiven them will be that which will be given bythose more knowledgeable than I. .

Hr. Kelley, to your knowledge have any members ofthe FBI been involved in the-planning or executionof assassinations?

No, sir. I know of none.

Mr. Kelley, how about the break-in of embassieshere in Washington. Have any members of the FBIgained surreptitious entry into any embassies inWashington?

Without naming or designating victims or insti-tutions, I can only say that there were a fewconcerned with counterintelligence--foreign innature--subsequent to 1966. Further then that

I cannot say. .

A few is 10, 20, 100? When you say few, I'm surethat I'm lost as to how few is a few.

Not many. ' -

Was a lot of this done in Washington as opposedto other cities in the country?

There.were not b lot, I'm confident of that. And,frankly,.I don't think that all of the few wereconfined to Washington, D. C., but I.can't tellyou absolutely that that is true. _

Mr. Kelley, were any of these done in conjunctionwith the CIA? with their knowledge?

I know of none. Now, subsequently, perhaps theremay have been information whieh did go to thembut, not insofar as the origin of the information,I'm confident of that. We were not in partner-ship with CIA. '

How about the NSA? .Were there any of these break-ins done to help benefit the NSA in its code-breaking programs?

Hr. Kelley, the Rockefeller Commission reportsaid that, in discussing the CIA's mail coveroperations, said the_FBI only learned about thisabout five years after it was in the works. In1958, I believe. Mr. Colby's report to thePresident said the FBI knew about it from its

conception. which is correct? -

It is my understanding it was 1968.

1958?

- Q -

1968. Wait a minute, 1958, 1958, That's right,1958. '

Mr. Kelley, in the last sq years, as I understandit from FBI officials, there has never been anFBI Agent prosecuted for any kind of corruptionor crime in connection with his official duties.

Is there any agreement with the Justice Departmenteither in writing or any other kind of agreementnot to prosecute people who may stray from orcommit crimes but, rather to handle it with

internal discipline?. ,

Mr. Kelly, spelled K-E�L�L-Y, there is no suchagreement. I would not abide by such an agreement.I vehemently oppose any such arrangement and wouldnot operate under such arrangement. No, there is .92none. Yes, anyone that, within the FBI, will beprosecuted if there is evidence leading to that _

conclusion. I can assure you absolutely thatthis is my policy, is the policy of the Bureau,and that we will pursue them as vigorously aswe possibly can. There's nothing worse in myestimation than the betrayal of trust and that'swhat we have when one of your own people detectsand gives sanctuary and assistance to thecrminal world. _ ' �

How do you account than for the fact that therehas been no one who_nas strayed across the linein all these years? It's almost unhuman.

well, I appreciate your compliment, Mr. Kelly,which I agree with, there has been none. Therehave been, of course, some allegations madefrom time to time, all of which have been pursuedand found to be groundless. I think that it'sinherent in an organization which is closelyscrutinized, an organization which has a stronginspection system but, more than anything else,is the choice of people who are not susceptibleto this type of thing. Unquestionably, in sucha screening process some might get through.But, than, within the FBI is a built-in systemwhich further prevents this possibility and thatis a tremendous pride in this very matter. Thatis, that there has been no corruption. hnd, IQ�t lIl92I92�:4:QI92In L-�an-In �aolauaklu o_oJ9292|n'|a-�nan-no 0.0: Lin n;aun.4a -o92J92I|~�921I-on1]� 92.|92JIll-L�Il¢|l92I Lll�b 835151]!-B �92"n�92|L�g W� Ll� U�: GJIULHCL '

although, will, of course, on occasion be sym-pathetic to an Agent who possibly may be drinkingtoo much or may possibly,3for other reasons inthe area the morals might digress to some extent,they absolutely will not countenance corruptionor defection to the criminal element or otherwisecontaminate that splendid reputation of the Bureau.It's a unique situation. It's difficult for someto understand. But, it's a built�in barrier toan extension of this type of activity and, some-thing of which we will have tremendous pride and Ipersonally would not hesitate one second to pursueany allegations such as this, feeling that althoughit may get wide publicity, although it may, to someextent, harm the credibility of the FBI, it mustbe done. And, I assure you, will be done. Unusualperhaps, but nonetheless, it is present and we willpersist with this type of activity. we-don't askour Agents to squeel on one another, we point outthe splendid reputation that is inherent withinour tradition and is one of the finest traditions

you can possibly build.. �92 . .

Mr. Kelley, earlier you spoke of the advantages and limitations

of hindsight. After having examined the records of the break-ins

and other surreptitious activity, you observed you thought it

was well intentioned, .I believe, in most cases. Did you also

observe that there was any gross misuse of authority in the

process of that-? _

I do not note in these activitie- 1 Qv

es misuse of authority.

I see a' consistent thread of well-iritentioned activities. Perhaps

now in the present society, and in the context of now and in those

times. I do not feel that it was a corruption of the trust that

that perhaps could be wrong, but in those days there was no

intention to engage in activities which were prohibited, illegal,

or otherwise wrong. ' '

You say that it'was a matter which was then a violation of the

law. Within the warrantless wiretaps under ordinary circum-

stances they could conceivably be construed as a violation, but

under the umbrella of_ the protection oi the country they have

been authorized, so I don�t subscribe to the feeling that they

knowingly, in such an installation, vilated the law with the

intent toviolate the law. -_ .-r

Mr. Kelley, do -you still--does the FBI still--compile personal

information on the personal behavior of Members of Congress,

members of the press, and other people?

The FBI receives a great deal of information from time to time.

We are charged when we have a complaint to write up that

complaint. We ieelthat not only are we following the archival

rules that such must be recorded, but also we feel in discharge_ - I

of our duties we should record it because such information might

well dovetail with some investigation that we are conducting.

People come to us to tell about these things for reasons--not

just to spill out gossip and rumor and to possibly put someone

on the spot. We �inform them, for example, at the time they -

submit this i.n_foi-mation a record will be made ,o_f this but it it is

outside the jurisdiction of the FBI we so state. They know be92fore

they leave, for example, that nothing will be done about it other

than to record it. -Q '_ �

You said-that you don't question the motives of people who come in

If it is within our jurisdiction and makes allegations which may

mount into a violation, yes, we check them out. But a mere

allegation that so andso is a sex deviate or that he is going

around conducting himself other than in a gentlemanly manner

and so forth, no, we do not just on the bare gossip stage check

that out. , 7

with the responsibility of looking into this then within a few

months retired. The next stimulation of this situation arose

after a statement appeared in the paper mentioning these files

and we immediately talked about this. stm 1 did not look at the

files. 1 then instructed that our Inspection Diirision go over them a

make a listingpf them, categorizing them. Some of them, of

course, were purely administrative, some included information

as outlined by Mr. Levi. Such a listing was made and was turned

over to the Department. Thereafter Mr. Siiberman looked them

over and thereafter Mr Levi looked them over and I made a

rather cursory check of them myself. Why did I not look these

files over in the first place? I did not construe them as being with-0

in the realm of the so-called dossiers that had been mentioned

before and during, certainly, my confirmation. I said I did notI

subscribe to the preparation or�retention of dossiers 911 Congress-

men nor members of the Senate. I still persist in that and we have

not. My references wereabout those which were declared

improper during Mr. Gray's administration and thej were at that

time stopped. These were dossiers that were prepared on candidates_ 1I

for Members of Congress and those who failed in their venture

were destroyed. Those which were successful were put into the, = 92

general files. We no longer do that and frankly, in my opinion, .

this is what was referred to. ,1 feel that these files should be

that were not related to foreign intelligence or national security?

Mr. Jonas-ox. I suppose there is an Amistant. Attorney Generalinvolved ? ' -

Mr. 9292�a.92'x.92t.r.. There is an .-ltssistant .92ttoruey General in charge ofthe Criminal Division. '

Mr. J OIINSON. Is that an appointed oftice! Is that one of those o�iceswhere people serve for a while and then they go out and another personis appointed and he goes out ? It looks to me as though this is probablywhat happened--that theystarted the investigation 30 years ago andnobody ever challenged it or stopped it.

Mr. 9292�.92>tN.92i.i.. It is an a iponited o�iee, but I'm sure the reports arenot personally reviewed by lnm. The ' are probably reviewed y someone under him, who would certainly have some degree of continuity inhis iosition. . '

llir. _Jonxso.92-. lVhat kind of oversight in the Congress do we haveto check these thin ?

Mr. 9292',92xxaLL. lgversight by Congrem? eMr. Jouxsox. Yes. Has anybody in the Conmess ever said, �Why

are you doing_this and why_have you continued for 30 years when youhave not found there is any danger?" - '

Mr. l92'ax:92'.92r,r.. I don�t know whether it would be termed oversightas such, but I think during the entire riod of time the Director ofthe FBI testified in conneetionwith tli!: appropriations of the FBI.

Mr. Jonxsox. �We have had testimony about what that kind oftestimony involved. If that is what it was, it is understandable how itwent onsolon . _

Chairman like Mr. Dellums.Mr. Di-:1.Lt:1is. Before getting into questions, I would like to say

I appieciate your going into statistics with respect to minorities em-!"l�1'ed bf� the FRI. PM in a!'92{92!-epriete '9'-Ins, your e'"!'~l."}""ent ofblacks is -1.2 percent, and in a Yation where 51.2 percent of the popula-tion is women, you have 0.4 percent women agents. ,

Now, with ies iect to your statement about the Fourth International,as 'I understand it, the Socialist Vforkers Party was a�iliated withthe Fourth International back in the late 1930's.Tl1at. was not illegal.As a result of the passage of the Voorhis Act, the $ocialist 92VorkersParty discontinued anyafliliation from that day to the Fourth Inter-national which in my opinion �ies in the face of your justification for30 years of intimidation, liurglarizing, warrantless wiretaps, andother programs you have used to _iustif_9292under the absurd nomenclatureof coniiterintelligence nrograni. �.�.'ith respect to the %ialist �.�.'orl:crsParty speci�cally, as I understand it this morning, you testi�ed that;tllae FBI has not engaged in surreptitious entry or burglary silica

G5. �

In the fall of 1971. the o�ice of the Micliigan Socialist Party wasburglarized, and �le. materials were taken. In April 1973. the CivilService �onunission confronted a former SIYP member with a co _vof a. letter of resignation irom SIYP. The letter had been in tliohnrglarized �le._ My questions are twofold. Has the FBI burglarized SIVP o�icesin general, and speci�cally have you burglarized Michigan o�ices ofthe 3�92'i'Pi ,

[An -a�idavit signed by Norma Jean Lodico attesting to the burglaryreferred to by Mr. Delhuns and to other matters is printed on pages1195-1196 of the appendixes] .

Mr. lVa1~rzmL1.. Congressman Dellums, this morning the late I men-tioned was 1968 as opposed to 1965. I have no knowledge that theF BI has burglarized the Socialist llforkers Party in that or otherinstances you are talking about since then.

Mr. Dnnwns. You say you have no knowledge. Let me put it thisway: I would like to suggest that you check the �les, and if there isany material leading to any {acts that you burglarized the SWP orits Michigan o�icenvould you supply that in writin to this committee!Mr. lVai~:xau.. The �lm have en cllecked, angl assure you there

is nothing in the �les to indicate that in 1971 the o�ice wasburglarized. . c

Mr. Dnnunus. �Thank yon. _9 FBI manual section 122, entitled �Extremist Matters and CivilUnrest,� says in part:

In addition to the three principal statutes outlined above, the following statutewould pertain to iu92'esl'i_:ntlnns oi� Klan eud other white hate groups,

�! Civil Rights Act or iecs T18, tsc, Sec. 241!In summary, this statute makes It unlawful for two or more persona to con-

spire to injure, Opllress. threaten, or intimidate any citizen in the free exerciseor enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution orlaws oi! the United States. Additionally, It prohibits two or more persons goingin disguise on the higlnray or on the premises of another with intent to preventor hinder his tree exercise or enjoyment ot any rights secured by the Constitu-tion or the laws oi the United States. _

- Doesn�t this in fact. describe the maior part of the FEW: l�I'92l�nlliglI'!9Qactivities against so-called dissent groups in this country?' Mr. 'lVai~r.92'aL1.. The entire matter relating to the so-called Cointelprohas been reviewed and is under consideration in the Civil Rights Divi-sion of the -Department of Justice. �Te tool: our entire �le on theCointelpro and made it available to the Assistant Attorney Generaland two of his deputies to review the matter. While it was not possiblefor him to look at every serial, he did look at most of the serials, andin fact Mr. Ryan, who is at the table with me, tried to direct his atten-tion io speci�c items that might be troublesomen

Following the review, he said based on his review there was no indi-cation of a violation of the statute. He did say that if any informationis called to his attention in the future, he certainly would considerit.

1'-Ir. Dsnnnars. You indicated in testimony this morning that youno longer have a security index �le. You have an ADEX �le. Docs theFBI still maintain at some location cards which have names of 13,000poisons who were on this security index? '

My point is: You say you don�t have it, but don�t you in fact stillhave those names, and you can call them forward at any time!

Mr. 9292-'.-92>r.92-,u.n. We have cards on 13,000. I will accept that �gure. Ithink it is probably in that neighborhood. �When the security indexwas discontinued by legislation of this Congrem in September of 1971,we had a program of regularly dstroying cards. They were main-tained for a certs in {i *l"lO l of time and then destroyed. I{ou'e92'cr, Sena-tor Mans�eld issuer instructions in January of this year that no rec-ords should be destroyed mling the outcome of the investigations bthe Senate committee. lll l.�cllll.92'0 made no destruction of any recongsince that time.

Mr. Milford. pMr. Mnmono. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 'First, I would like to clear up for the record the colloquy you had

with the chairman concerning this Lori Paton statement. Accordinegto -her written statement the appropriate words were: �I was shockwhen FBI Director LaPrade wrote back denying I had been the sub-ject of an investigation.� Now the record is clear on it. _

Mr. ll".=92:-'x.92L1.. Thank you. I picked up �FBI Director.� did notpick up �LaPrnde.� In that instance, I have read the letter signed by- Ir. Lal�rade. He was not the Director. He was special agent in chargeof our Newark o�ice. " * -

Mr. Mlnronn. Mr. Wannall, on the surface it would seem that sev--eral witnesses have appeared before this committee and have givensome very disturbing testimony against the FBI. Some of these accu-sations and allegations are very serious.

Under our system of justice, whether in our courts "or before ourjuries or even in congressional investigations, there exists the ri�htof rebuttal by the accused or maligned. lliithout a doubt the FBI as�been accused of some serious aberrations and violations of our laws.

There are act-nallty two hearings going on here today._ Que _is_the_oillcial hearing being jcondllcted by this committee on _be-half of tho House of Itepresentatires. The other is a public hearingthat in e�ect is a form of trial by television and notoriety by news-Pa'P9l'5- '

lVith little doubt tonighifs television and tornon-ow�s newspaperswill detail the sensational statements made by the witnesses that ap-peared beforethis committee today. .

Unnse our legal system ct ]nst1cc,.the press 18 not required to plodthrough painstaking investigations _to assure that all legitimate factsare known and presented to the jury or to the public. -. They are legally free to print or broadcast any item of informationas long as Someone will simply say it-particularly if it convenientl_vfits a 1-minute TV blurb or 300-word newspaper item, and particularlyif the �notes are sensational, controversial or scandalous. -

'lVh.i e the FBI is probably going to �unk out as a. TV star in.to-night�s news or as a celebrity in tomon-o9292"s newspaper, I think it isextremely important for this committee�s �record to have the completeand detailed infornnition concerning the allegations and accusationsthat. have been made by witnesses before us today.

You have rebuttcd portions of that testimony, Mr. Wannall. I real-ize that gen may not be able to fnllv comment on each and every alle-gation t at has been made today. The time remaining for this com-mit-tce to �nish its invest-igation will probably not allow us to call youer other FBI o�icinls back before the committee in formal hearings.

Therefore. I will ask you, as an official of the FBI, to take the state-

: Mr. oliphant. That is right. ' *

Mr. wannall. Our study has revealed none; _ .

Hr. Oliphant. What is the policy of the Bureau, I

if the Bureau is conducting an investigation regarding, iet's

organization and let's say not a foreignsay, a subversive

organization, notI

is presented with

a Soviet organization, and the Bureau

_information which'would appear to be

the result of something which was taken from an organization. t

I refer speCifiCallY, let's say, to internal documents and. 1

that sort of thing, which are not for public consumption, 1

not pamphlets and things like that, and the Bureau is in ,

receipt of that. '

Hhat is the position of the Bureau with that? '

Mr. Wannall. I think if the documents clearly ' �

indicated they came from such a source, our policy would be l
