SUBJECT:
Intelligence Evaluation Committee
Attached is the fin9l draft of the charter of the Intelligence
Evaluation Ccrmnittee '''hich has the approval of the entire IEC
staff, other than the representative of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. The Bureau advises, as you will note from t~e
attached memorandum, that they will not provide personnel to
work with the co~~ittee staff for the purposes stated in the
charter. Also attached are two memoranda from the Director to
me, dat2d Jnnuary 27, 1971 and February 3, 1971, in wnich he
~":?_t:,,=~ ~i-:: y.c...;<c:,...,nc: r(")l- hpinrT- nnw; 111nn- tn T- )artic;,i-.oate.
Although it might be possible to continue the work of the
Committee without the FBI evaluator, in, view of the fact that
most of the intelligence information available is Bureau information,'
I do not think that the quality of the intelligence
estimates ~ould be sufficiently improved to warrant continuing
our effort without their cooperation. I think all of the
present members of the Committee other than the FBI member agree
with the above assessment.
Pending your further advice. however, we will continue to operate
on the basis of the exception noted with reference to Bureau
participation.

U. S. GOVERNMENT MEMORANDUM

June 11, 1973
To: Colonel Werner E. Michel, Chief, Counterintelligence and
Security Division, The Pentagon
From: Henry E. Petersen, Assistant Attorney General,
Criminal Division
Subj ect: Intelligence Evaluation Committee (IEC)
The IEC has been engaged in evaluating the potential for violence
during various domestic situations. Now that the war in Vietnam has
ended demonstrations carrying a potential for violence have virtually
ended; therefore, I feel that the lEG function is no longer necessary~
Accordingly, effective immediately, the lEe is no longer in existence.
If, in the future, estimates are needed concerni~g-the potential
for violence in a given situation, such estimates can be handled by
ad hoc groups set up for that purpose.

of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate

Un~iencd on Justice Department St3tionary
Dated January 19, 1971
"All those who have been involved in the project firmly
believe that the starting point f"or an effective dornestic intelligence
operation should be the implementation of the Special Report of the
Interaeency Committee on Intelligence (Ad Hoc Ccmuflittee Report of' June 3,
1970). _.
"Since the inception of this current project the general
climate of public rca<.;tion , the
has been significantly altered by the incidents ~hich have confronted the
Army in its intelligence operation. According" the current activities of
the working group would be subject to e~trcme adverse public media and
congressional reaction if discovered •
..• "As noted above, there is considerable doubt as to hoy
significant a contribution the proposed committee ":auld make to
existing domestic intelligence operations without implementation of the
Ad Hoc Comrnittee Report. • •
"Based on these observations, \ole have concluded and strongly
recomment that the existing plan for establishing a physical office with
a committee chRt.:rrnRn and staTf be rescinded and Tllture meetIngs of the
working group be called on an Ad Hoc basis in John Dean's officej that
any deficiencies in intelligence should be called to the attention of
the existing 8eencics and corrections should be made through the normal
structure. If this fails to produce the requisite intelligence, it is
then recommend that the questions raised by the Ad Hoc C9mrnittee Report
be re-examined to determine hoy either partial or full implementation of
the recoTJ1J1Jendations in that report might be acconJplished. II
It was further recomrnended that the group adopt the problem-solving
approach \Jhereby appropriate. aBencies develop intelligence estimates of
problems the Broup anticipates the government must fact in the near future.
There was also a discussion of tlcover" for Justice Morrell Sharp
and Dohe,ty since they were both recognized in the BOB.

While I3l1reau has primary responsibility for internal security matters
Iwhich includes production of domestic intelligence, recognizing the possible
forei1~n ramilications of the present prohlem relating to criminal sUbversives, it
Iis felt we should take advantage of any resources of NSA and CJA which can be
tapped for the purpose of contributing to the solution of this problem.
I Our principal sources for production of intelli,.ence in. this area are
.electronic surveillanccs ancllivc informants. Wc have _ .!!:l,:phone

where criminal subversives arc. concentrated we ha~ over 6200 ghetto informants,
persons resicling in lhe areas or having contacts therein, who have agreed to
provide us with any iluormation of interest to the FBI which comes to their attention
As noted above, we feel that the fore~oing matter is the one most
likely for discussion during the 3/31/71 meeting; however, any matter in the
foreign intelligence collection field would appear to be a possible SUbject for
discussion, in view of the presence of Mr. Helms and Admiral Gayler and

MEi\lOB-ANDUM FOB- THE FILES
This meeting had been requested by Mr. Helms and was for the
purpose of discussing a broadening of operations, particularly of the very
confidential type in covering inte Iligence both domestic and foreign.
, There was some discussion upon the
part of Mr. Helms of further coverage of m'!til. '2 ,j,," , '. ,
I stated to the Attorney General, Mr. Helms, and Admiral Gaylor
, . that I was not at all enthusiastic about such an extension of operations insofar
as the FI3I was concerned in view of the hazards involved. The Attorney
General stated that he thought before he could make any final decision in
this matter, Mr. Helms should make an in-depth examination of exactly what
he and Admiral Gaylor desired and then submit to the Attorney General and
myself the results of this examination, and he, the Attorney General, would
call another meeting of this particl~ar group and make the decision as to what
could or could not be done.
Mr. Helms said he would take care of this very promptly.

Dear Senator Church:
By letter of September 22, 1975, from Mr. John
Elliff of your Committee staff, Mr. Elliff requested
certain information with reSpect to surreptitious

UNITED STATES SENATE SELECT COrnlITTEE
TO STUDY GOVERNI1ENTAL OPERATIONS
WITH RESPECT TO INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC)
RE: SURREPTITIOUS ENTRIES - DOMESTIC TARGETS
Reference is made to SSC letter dated September 22,
1975, from ~lr. John T. Elliff, Director, Domestic Intelligence
Task Force, to gr. L1ichael E. Shaheen, Jr., Special Counsel
for Intelligence Coordination, Office of the Deputy Attorney
General, wherein Mr. Elliff made the following request with
respect to domestic targets of surreptitious entries conducted
by the FBI:
1. Statistics on the volume of such surreptitious
entries in inclusive categories such as "subversive,"
"v1hite hate, It organized crime, 11 or "miscellaneous." These
statistics should be cl~ared for public disclosure.
2. Committee access at FBI Headquarters to a
complete list of specific targets, represented by the
statistics in Item 1, above.
3. Deliv~ry to th~ Chairman and Vice Chairman
of the list of specific targets requested for access in
Item 2, above. r-----------~ ----------With respect to this request, from 1942 to April,
1968, surreptitious entry was utilized by the FBI on a highly
selective basis in the conduct of certain investigations.
Available records and recollection of Special Agents at FBI
Headquarters (FBIHQ), who have knowledge of such activities,
identify the targets of surreptitious entries as domestic
subversive and white hate groups. Surreptitious entry was
used to obtain secret and closely guarded organizational and
financial information, and membership lists and monthly
reports of target organizations.
279
Re: Surreptitious Entries - Domestic Targets
When a Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of a field
office considered surreptitious entry necessary to the
conduct of an investigation, he would make his request to
the appropriate Assistant Director at FBIHQ, justifying
the need for an entry and assuring it could be accomplished
safely with full security. In accordance with
instructions of Director J. Edqar Boover, a memorandum
outlining the facts of the request was prepared for
approval of Mr. Hoover, or Mr. Tolson, the Associate
Director. Subsequently, the memorandum was filed in
the Assistant Director's office under a "00 Not File"
procedure, and thereafter destroyed. In the field
office, the SAC maintained a record of approval as a
control device in his office safe. At the next yearly
field office inspection, a review of these records would
be made by the Inspector to insure that the SAC was not
acting without prior FBIHQ approval in conducting
surreptitious entries. Upon completion of this review,
these records were destroyed.
There is no central index, file, or document
listing surreptitious entries conducted against domestic
targets. To reconstruct these activities, it is necessary
to rely upon recollections of Special Agents who have
knowledge of such activities, and review of those files
identified by recollection as being targets of surreptitious
entries. Since policies and procedures followed in reporting
of information resulting from a surreptitious entry were
designed to conceal the activity from persons not having a
need to know, information contained in FBI files relating
to entries is in most instances incomplete and difficult
to identify.
Reconstruction of instances of surreptitious entry
through review of files and recollections of Special Agent
personnel at FBIHQ who have knowledge of such activities,
show the following categories of targets and the approximate
number of entries conducted against each:
1. At least fourteen domestic subversive targets
were the subject of at least 238 entries from 1942 to April,
1968. In addition, at least three domestic subversive targets
were the subject of numerous entries from October, 1952, to
June, 1966. Since there exists no precise record of entries,
we are unable to retrieve an accurate accounting of their
number.
- 2 -
280
Re: Surreptitious Entries - Domestic Targets
2. One white hate group was the target of an
entry in March, 1966.
A recent survey of policies and procedures of the
General Investigative and Special Investigative Divisions
at FBIUQ with respect to surreptitious entries, disclosed
that with the exception of entries made for the purpose of
installation of authorized electronic surveillances, the
technique of surreptitious entry has not been used in criminal
investigations.
A list of specific targets has been prepared for
revie", by Senators Church and TO\{er. and appropriate FBIHQ
officials are available for a discussion of this list.

To obtain authority fOl" the attached airtel to the
field requesting financial information concerning New Left
groups.
By memorandum C. D. Brennan to n. C. SUllivan, dated
ll/7/G9, the Director approved a letter to all offices pointing
out the recurring alIenations that various tax exempt charitable
foundatiolls have contributed lal"ge sums of money, directly or
indirectly, to the Movement. It was also pointed out similar
allcr,ations recur concerning financinl "ang: c l s ." The field was
instructed to he porticularly alert to such allegations and nny
information developed along such lines should be promptly reported
to the Bureau with recommendations as to whether addi tic nal JL.
investigation is warranted. ~ _
, By letter dated 2/26/70, in response to a specific
request, ViC furnished the White House with material concel"ninl;
income sources of revolutionary [;roups. Such an inquiry is
indicative of the high-level interest in the financial aspects
of revolutionary activity.
Because of the sensitive nature of any direct intensive
financial investigation of large foundations or funds, prominent
wealthy individuals who limit their actiVities to financial
support, or politically oriented groups such as the Vietnam
Moratorium Conunittee, embarrassment to the Bureau would likely
result. It must also be noted such financial support is so
diverse as to frequently be in the form of furnishing bail money
to persons jailed during disturbances, purch~s~ of eqUipm~n~, !cS

In o~'dcr to PU"t these recurring allcf~ntions into·

high-level inquirie~ along this line, it would be desirable
to obtain from the field a comprehensive survey of known
instnllces of fintlllcini aid by foundatiolls or funds, prominent

there is a need for increased source covera.o;e and '~e must
develop net~ork of di~creet quality sources in a position

of information regarding these groups in any area might be
the fault of inadequate source coverage and efforts should be
undertaken imnediately to improve this coverage.
A prior inquiry or investigation of a group or individual

immediately.
I cannot overemphasize the importance of expeditious,
thorou8h. and di~creet handling of these casee. The violence,

it mandatory that 11e utilize to its capacity our intelligencegathering

Honorable Richard 11elms
Director
Central Int.ellil;ence Agency
Washir.gton,. D. C.
Dear Mr. HeUus:
I bave carefully rev1ewed your letter 01 11arch 20 settin"
out your observattons with respect to various matters or mutual interest.
I certainly appreciate your lund comments concernin; me and I snare
your conv1ctions as to the need ior close coorwnation oi our intelligence
collection activities in beiJali of the national security.
Your letter suggested nine particular areas which m!l;ht be
the subject 01 further discussions aimed at impro";ing the coort:ination oi
our operations. A number oi these topics are lughly sensitive and complex
and 1 will tJ1Crefore rr.a;,e no eiiort here to set forth. my views in detail.
However, in response tl? your Jetter and as a prelude to any cilrect discussIons
on these watters, certam observations on my part may be appropriate.
With regard to electronic surveill:mce and mail coverage,
there is no question as to tile freque'nt value of such operations in- ,ievcloping
needed intelligence. en the other hand, the use of these measures in
domestic investigations poses a number of problems which may not be
encountered in SImilar operations abroad. There is widespread concern
by the American public regarding the possible misuse of this type coverage.
Moreover, various legal considerations must be borne in mind, including
the impact such coverage may mve on our numerous prosccuuve resDonsi·
b1l1ties. The Fill's efiectiveness bas always depended in iarge meas~re on
our capacity to retain the full.confidence of the American oeoole. file use
or any investigative measures which Wringe on·traciltional ri~nts oi priv:lcy
must thetclore be scruL.niZed most carefully. Within this fran'eworO:,.llo;::ev<;!r,
I would be willing to consider any" proposals your Agency ma~e":

Reference my memorandum 3/30/70 summarizing proposals of
CIA Director Helms reg:arding FBI-CIA coordination in intelligence collection
activities. Director approved'meetings between CIA and Bureau representatives
to further explore these matters. . ,- \r'0~
On afternoon of 4/13/70, Inspector D. E. Moore and myself met
briefly "lith 1111'. James Angleton, Chief, Counterintelligence Staff, CIA,
and Mr., ~f his staff. This session was strictly exploratory
in nature' and was aimed at defining tile scope and limitations of our
discussions Witil CIA on the points in question. Angleton noted tli:lt CIA
1J1rp.c.ror 118Jins 'VIii {Je cio::;eiy iuiiuwiu::; Lin:; vu~C0ilic vi ~}-.t':':;~ ~c;;:~:=:::::;::::
and is personally interested in resolving any current problems III tl1lS area.
Mr. Angleton indicated that QA v.1Juld like to direct initial atter.tiol~
1to, two, O",f""tl1,e, items ,Cited by Helms, ,namely, the question of auelia (eleq !"..9, :~~
surveillance) covera~e and the suggestion that FBI and CIA speciali,sts
, .... , ..- !lold periodic seminars to coordinate our infon:l2.tiO'i1~ .
\
'The Bureau' s posi tio~ reg~rding,electronic surveillance coverze"e" as
outlined in the Direcwr's letter to Helms 01.3/31/70, was reitereaccd with
emphasis upon the proiJlems such coverage often pose \',1 th re::;ard to
prosecution as well as adverse public reaction to this type coverage.
I made the point that the Bureau has not received the necessan'
support in tills area [rom responsible quarters; that in the past the Bureau
had a substantial amount of coverage of this type in the interest of both our
own counterintelligence responsibilities as well as the national security
interest but that we ha\'e had to retrench in recent years largely as a resuit
of the lack of support for such operations. '

Attorney General. ' He said that CIA has been giving the question of
approaching the AHorney General considerable thought but thi..s would
im'olvca whole new,set of proceciuresand policy considerations which
would have to be carefully considered. Angleton said that his staff was in

-1,,- 1. At 10:00 A.No. this date, nr. IIel~s CO:l".rcr:.ed the £0110',1-
inq in his office to discuss the HTLINGu.'\.L operation: the DO?,
the C!Cr, the D!S, the DC!Cr, <>i,C' C!CI/?,,:,:>,,';:.
2. The DCI opened the meeting with a reference to an inquiry
as to p~ssiblemail ta~peringbyGovernmentagenc~~s.addressed
to the Chief Postal In3peci:or, ~·!r. Cottc.r, by Dr .. Jeremy
J. Stone on b~half of the Federation of ~uarican Scientists. On
the questio!1 as tc.-'.··.....J.t may have prompted the letter, the DDP rnentioned
the possibL...I.·cy that the inf':>rmation I;\ight have come from
Herbert Scoville, a member of the Federation's Council who, while
in CIA employ, had been briefed on the Project. It was stated
tha t :~ .. Scoville had not been a ,consumer of HTL!.NGUAL 17laterial
for eany years, and could not know that HTLINGVAL had continued
beyo~d the time when he was inforned of it. The DCI stated that
he was not over-concerned about I·lr. scoville.
3. The DCI then asked, who outside of CIA kno'Hs about the
HTLINGUAL operation or gets its material. The C/CI replied:
only the FBI. The DiS added, "and the little gray Iilan." He explair-
cd that a postal cler:, had bean engaged since the beginning
to bring the bags to the room in the ai~ail facility where the
material is screened for "take':; that the I:!an had been checked
and cleared by Security, and '.•as paid a $50 I::onthly bor:us for
this duty. (The DiS did not state "hat t!1is clerk kne,/ about the
"'-/activi ty beyond th2 scree:1ir.g anc cc~yir.g of exte;:iors.)
4. The DCI then asked, who in the POD kr-o~s the full extent
of th~ o?~ration - beyond cover surveillance. The e/CI re?lied
th~t o~ly Nr. Cotte:r- kno''''s, for he had been ~-litting \...hile with
CI:'\ and th~ 0/5. The prc·"ious Chief Pos'c.al !:1specto:c, t·}!:'. ~~o:-'...t~-
gu~, had llever wa~teci ~o know the extent of ~xaoination actually

to the DDP, that it had been positively ve~ified :ro~ the ?~oj2c~ls
rr'
r2co~d, and a ffi7P had been ~ritten to th2 effect, that the ?roje~t
had never seen the letter, and that, as a piece of dOQ8Stic ~ail,
the letter would not have been available to HTLI~TGUALr ?,.;hich has
access only to an international airmail facility.
6. Mr~ Helms stat~d that he ~ould accept ~~e evidence of
the ii'1'LINGUAL record, but he then asked, ho',y long has the FBI
kno",.;!'l about the opere. tion and ho',.; long have they been getting its
materiol. The clel replied that F31 a~2reness ca~e in 1958 when r
in Janua~, they requested pe~ission from Chief Postal Ins?2ctor
Stevens to examine mail tojiroiil the USS?~ Stevens h?a advised
CIA of the request 2nd had sanctio~ed CIA's revealing the op2ration
to the FBI and there£ater sen-icing· the Bureau wib~ it2~5 of
national security interest. This -i"as fi\pe ye2'.rs after t:I2 o?eration
had started in 1953.
7. Mr~ !Ielms asked whether the FBI P3SS2S the material .to.
other agencies, or' outsid9 its he2dqu2rte~s office~ The D/eI
~eplied that it did not, in accoro2nce with the original ag=ee-
~2~t; that the unit re~=ivi~~ ~he ~at2~i31 P~SS~3 o~ly sanitized
lead~ within the Bureau whenever investigation is war-
8.. The DCI th2n inq:Jired ho',v rnar.y p=rsons in the F3I knc·....
a~Jut the operation or are privY to its take.. T~2 C/er/Project
s:u~ed that he had origi~ally been told tndt only 2 s~all unit of
tOto or t~ree see and ~~ndl~ th~ nate=~al, and th2~ this had ~2e~
367
in the ~'JI ~now about it no~.
9. On the question of continuance, the DDP stat.e~ that h~
is g~avely conc2rn~d, fo~ any flap would cause CIA the ~iO=st ?~3-
sible puolici ty and evbarro.ssment. He o,?ined that the C?2ra ~iG:;
should be done by the FBI because they could bett~r withsta~d
such :9~blicity. inasmuch as 1 t is a type of dor.testic sur,J'eillaI!c~.
The DIS stated that he tr.ought the operation served w~i~ly an
F31 regulrenent. The C/CI countered that the Bureau would not
take ove~ the operatioh no~, and could not s~rve e5se~tial CIA
requirements as we have served theirs; that, moreover, cr Staff
sees the operatic :oreign surveillance.
.:"
.L
10. Mr. Hellil-' .,.;.:.,,,n asked what should be done: do we want to
cont~nue the operation in view of the kno'Nn risks? The e/cr re.
plied ~~at we can and should continue to live with th~~•.
11. The DCI then stated that he would have to discuss the
mat=e= with Mr. Cotter, and requested the D/S to arrange a meeting.
Af tar that meeting, he said, he Hould deterri'ine :wh-ether Mr.
Blount should be i. ,n-med.
12. As the meeting closed, the DCI told the e/CI/Project to
monitor the operation mo~t discreetly, and bring any problem or
difficulty directly to him.

thought of his to have son~on~ review th2 legality of the
oper2.tion (lS such a revie'.... Viould, of necessity, ~'iden the
circle of witting persons. Mr. Helms ex?lained- to the
PMG that l·!r. Cotter, the Chief Postal I~sp2ctor, has been
a~are of the ope~ation for a considera~12 period of tine
by virtue of having been on the staff of CIA's N~~i York
Field Office. Mr. Hel~s ShO~;2d the Post~2st2r General a
few seleqted eXa~?125 of the ope=ation's product, including
an item relating to Eldridge Cleaver, whicn attracted
the ?~1Gls soe~ial interest. A @ention by Mr.

6. The DCI teak the occasion to stress ag~in the
secu~ity aspects of the o?eratio~ and sti?~lated that,
in the event of any sort of sec~rity fla? .or evan a
sU30icion th~t a leak of sc~e s~~t ~ad occ~~~ed, the

Hel=s wished to convey the irnpo=tance of sto~~ina first
2P.G ir.vestiqati~q later. If a s~b32quent inves~igaticn
show~d that indeed no da~age had occurrec, it would then
be possible to reSllioe the operation.

SUI3JECT: Interagency Conlmittcc On Intelligence (Ad }~oc)
Chairman, Mr. J. Edgar Hoover. June 1970
I. On Yri<1ay. 5 June 1970, the President held a conference
\vith Dlrcctor~ and offici:::\ls of the intelligence COmlTlUnity. This
resulted in the esLablishnlcnt of the stlhject Ad Hoc COlnnliUec.
2. The White House representative to the \\·orking Sub ..
cOf11nlittce of the Intcri\gency Committee on Intelligence was Tom C.
H\lston. He stated that the President1s prin1ary concern w~s to
strengthen and inlpro\'c tuncrican intelligence operations in every way
rossihle in order th:lt the prOUllCt be far hcttcl" than it \\':l.S ilt t~\at tinlc.
lIe said t'Flt th~ criUc<\l security needs of the day requirer1 this. ,Ie
""Iso str~Bsed that this was the first tiole that a President had talcen
this const;-uctive lcaclership step in the intelligence ficlrL The
President, he .~;"\iti. bclicvcrl that the Anlcrican intellir:ence Cnll"'l(llunity.
in spite of its achievcnlcnts. had never lully rcali7eu its great potential
nor had it functioned to the n1axbnun1 of its cap<'tcity.
3. In the san1C vein, tho Comnlittec was infonncd th;tt it had
been given by the President a unique and unparalleled opportunity to
IlFl..kc a great and enduring contribution to intelligence operations and
thereby to the national security posture as a whole. The Committoe
was assured that there were nO obstacles of any kind in its path.
·L The first lnccting of the Interagency Working Subcornmittee
was chaired by \If. C. Sullivan'of the FI3I and attended by Mr. nelms.
The following personnel attended:
FBI
NS/\
Navy
/\F
Donald E. Moore who wag sllbRequently
succeeded by Charles D. Brennan.
Mr. ,red J. Cassidy was added to FBI
representation

!vIr. Hcln)s gave a bricf rc.sUlilC of the President's conference
~nd turned the rnecting over to Mr. Sullivan. Mr. ~.;'t.1l1iva.n echoed
the rcn"larks of l\1r. HtlSlon a·nd stated th~t the "deadline f(H' the first
clralt of the COrTIlnittec .1.eport would be due ~t the close of bURiness.
22 Juno 1970, and the final version \,'as to be on the Prcuidenl's desk
on I July 1970.
5. The Interagency Working Suhcommittee met a total of
four lImes, to wit: 9, 12, 18, and 7.3 June. The agenda which was
gradu<llly lorrl1ulatcd in response to the President's rcqueRl covers
all rnattcl"G set forth in the Special l.cP0I"t which w;],s suhr:nittcd by
l':fr. J. Edgar Hoover to the President and which \... ,\~ 3.igI]cd by l\1r.
J. Edgar Hoover, FBI; Mr. Richard Helms, CIA; Lt. General D. V.
Dennett, USA, Dlr.ector, DIA; and Vice Adnlil'f1.1 Noel G:'\ylcr, USN,
Director', NSA. l\.finutcs of each meeting were m:dntained ?nd
S\1bll1itted for approval during the coursc of each fj\1ccccding rr.ceting.
The CIA representative, MI". Ja.mes Angleton, \,\'as assistcrl by ?v1r.
~ichard Ober of the Agency, and Mr. William O. Cregar of the FBI,
functioned as secretary {or lhe "lorking Subcomlnittce.
6. Mr. Huston kept reminding the \\'orklng Subcommittee
that ito duty was to present the most thorough progrnol and options
to the President al~d be expressed at Urnes anno}rttnce when the subject
of political considerations were introduced into the discussion.
7, I)y way of background, it should be noted that Mr. Sullivan
and Mr. Huston had been in frequent contact on these n1atters before,
bccauge Mr. Sullivan ~':.vas extre~ely dif.lple.:\sed by the number of
restrictions whlch had been placed on the FBI b)' Mr. Hoover.
8. It sho')ld also be noted that Mr. Huston informed the members
of the Working Subcommittee that his role would be cOfT'pa.rahle
on domestic a((airs to that of Dr. Kissinger on foreign a((alrs. ACtor
the report had been submitted, he issued an instruction from the
V:hitc House Ul;).t all material relating to n1atters of domestic intelligence
or interna.l security interest be directed to his cxclush·e attention,
(See o.ttachment).

391
9. ~Ar. Hoover wa3 known to h;,vc voiced hit' 1110st st,'Cl1ll()HB
rcrson~l objections to the Attorney Gener;'\l regarding the c~l."'.hlishmont
of the Committee. It is our understanding lint the Attorney
Gcner~l interceded on Mr. Hoover's behalf at the \Vhitc IlouBc and thatMr.
Huston w,,"s eventually relieved of his <luties.
10. Subsequently, with the en1crgcnce of Mr. l\{;1,rdi:,n ,as
A3s1Btant Alto:-ncy Genoral for InteTn~l Security, the Intclliscncc
Evaluation COlnnlittcc W~5 formed which held its firat m(>etlng' on
3 Dcccn1ber in }"1r. Dean's office at tho \\Ohite House. In- attcno.:l.nce
were interagency representatives.

11. Intclliecnce Evaluation Corntnittce met scven tin1es
between 3 December 1970 and 20 July 1971. The work of the
Cnn1l11ittce has been carried on by a pcrrn,lncnt irdr!r;'J.gcncy At.1((,
the Intc Uigcnce 8\'aluation St(\{f, which h<\$ 1l1et rCWll~rly under
the Chairmanship of the Department of Justice official (currently
Mr. Bernard A. Wells) from January 1971 to the l,,"esent. The Ar,eney
reprcsentatlve, Richard Ober, contributes intolligence on foreign
aspect. o( paper. prepared by the staff. Staff papers are distribllted
to the ,'hite lIollse (Mr. John Dean) and to the heads of the pa,-ticipating
Agencies.
12. In time, Mr. Mardian returned to the question of the report
and had rnany discussions with ?vir. Sullivan and Mr. Dean on thc:Je
matters at a time when Mr. Sullivan was having his problem. with
Mr. Hoover.
13. To the best of our kno\vledge. the origin of tf1is c·<:ercise
began when Mr. John Dean was at the Department of Justice and was
concerned with the M"y Day demonstrations (May I, 19(0). Ife was
subsequently h'ansferred as Counsel to the President whc;-e he conUnued
his close relations with Mr. Mardian. It is our underst<lnding
392
that wirlespread civil disorders prompted the President to ",I,lre98
hlmaelf to this problem. It should also he noted that the President
and the Attorney General were aw",'e of the complete breakdown of
peraonal liaison between the FBI and the intelligence community.
14. The question or gaps in intcllicence colloctior. is cl'nbodicd
in corrc5pondcnce hetween Mr. Hoover and the Dir~ctor of Centr'al
Intelligence of M"rch 1970. Prior to that redod In January and
Fehr"ar y 1970, Director lIelms conferred with Attorney Gener,,1
Mitchell rcaarding the ina<1equi\cies of donoestic collection. Also
on 13 February 1970, Admiral Gayler, Director of the National
Security Agency, aaw the Attorney General to prolest the Bureau'.
withdrrtw:).l (ron'l sensitive rlon1cetic opcr""tions of vital il11portance
to the National Security Agency.
IS. William C. Sullivan resiGned from the FBI <:>.n 60ct<:>ber
1971 (""ashington Post, May 17, 1973, page 20). '1obert C. Mardian
left the Department of Justice to ..vark on the President's re-election
camp;:dr:n on April 1972 (occording to information from FBI and
Dcparhncnt of JI1F.ttlcc oHicials). Executive 'Registry states on the
evenln!,: of L7 May 1973, that after checking the record~, thore is no
indication of any I11crnorandunl prepared by Mr. HelIns concerning
the 5 June 1970 meo::ting with the President.
16. Most of the gaps In collection otill "emain as set forth in
the '~cport. There are tV.fO subjects of possible concern:
<to Intern:\tional airmail to and (ronl the Union of
Sochli~t Soviet l1.epublica and the United States ha~ been
acree.ned by this Agency under conditions of maxin1um
security control at a ~ingle international air f,~cility in this
country beginning in November 1952. In Bome Lnst"nce~. dat'a

were opened, contents recorded and reaealed, This activity
