__ Senator Xavton Chiles _lU... If.S. Senate __ -_

Washington, D.C- 20510

There la. a situatio» of "grave threat to the constitutional ri«hts .of United States citizens which I wish to bring to your attention.Xecent investigations have uncovered the feet that there are currently -•-modem day domestic intelligence operations being carried out by both theIRS and the F3I with cooperation from individuals within the Departmentof Justice. • ..

It was recently reported in the New Tor_ Times and other media that -the 133 and 131 were involved in harassing certain individuals and groupsinvolved in Central Aseriean sctivities. It has been alleged that federalundercover agents are engaged in disruptive actions similar to thoseconducted in the no\* discredited COINTSLPac operations directed -by the F$| in the 196O«s and 1970*s.

Kore recently, the Church 6t Scientology has revealed videotapesof an undercover "sting" operation involving a disaffected ex-ecployeeof the Church- In the tases it is obviously seen that there is amulti-agency plan to disrupt the Church internally with hopes of gettingr.id of current Church management and replacing it with individualsunder the control of the government agents involved.

The P3I falsely clained in 1971 that it had ceased all C0INT3LPR0operations. However, the Bureau allowed that counter-intelligenceoperations could be approved by National Head quarters. No one seeais tohave thought that the IRS Crioinal Investigations Divisions would run

. covert operations against American citizens as seems to fe# the situation inthe Scientology matter and has been alleged in the Central Americangroup's harassment.

jjf i I strongly urge you to support a call for hearings into agency•^domestic intelligence operations. I don't want us to go back to the daysf of recklessly destructive agency actions taken against American citizens

and groups for ideological purposes. Please write the IRS and F3I anddemand an explanation of the cases cited above and for a full accounting ofall their current domestic intelligence activities.

S incerely yours

Dear Congressman Bilirakisi * .

The purpose of this letter is to call to attention -violations of the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens andgroups by the domestic intelligence operations of theInternal Revenue Service and the FBI. -~ ™-

The IRS and FBI have again been harrassing citizens andgroups as well as engaging 4n disruptive actions as they didin the 1960's and 70 s under Cointelpro operations, run bythe FBI. These "operations" were discredited.

The Church of Scientology recently disclosed videotapes made during an undercover sting operation in which aformer church employee, now turned government agent, revealeda detailed multi-government agency plan to oust the currentchurch management and replace it with people under control ofthe government agents involved. The video tapes tell thestory. . -

The FBI in 1971 made it broadly known that it cancelledits Cointelpro operations, and vowed to no longer undertakethese broad programs of unconstitutional assault on U.S.citizens and groups. The FBI left a loophole, in thatcounter intelligence operations could be continued as long asnational headquarters gave first approval. Mow what hassince occurred is that the £ft§ Criminal InvestigationsDivision has busied J.ts*lt *n running covert un-Americanoperations aginst U.S. groups, as seems to be the situationin: the Scientology matter.

'•:, Please, fir. Congressman, I urge you to support a callfor hearings into agency domestic intelligence operati-ons.The United States simply cannot and must not take anymorebackward steps into ill founded and reckless pursuits 'againstits own citizens and groups for some uncertain ideologicalpurpose. . «

In addition, 1 am requesting that you write the IRS andFBI to obtain from them full explanations of the cases citedand, asking for a complete up to date accounting of ail theiractive domestic intelligence activities.

^ . ..___1 isif ncy which does its 3obv yn^il it treads on the toes of, .

- «nd ultimately attacks the law abiding citizens of the .country. When such threats occur, it surely is time to takenatters in hand and guide those government agencies out of.the swamps and. into the «ain channel, as outlined in our ^constitution.

Dear Mr. Chiles,

la a staff sember of the Church of Scientology X haw been briefedconcerning the recent undercover attempts by U.S. Government agencies tocovertly underains our Church's operations* This Is the video tapedsurveillance of Gerry Armstrong advising how to plant false documentsinto our Church »s staff information system. He i s wanting to get into ourcomputer system to *ka i t workablft, to put phoney ataf f nemos on our linesto confuse staff and Mislead then concerning the atabllity of the Church'acurrent leadership and thereby perform a one kind of take over* This i s•xtreoely wild, and extremely i l l s gal .

Baligioos freedom i s a basic ingredient of the American society andwhy the country was started la the f irs t place. I t i s the basis of ourConstitution and B i l l of Rights. So, of course, when a Church gets Oovernmsntattempts to do away with i t one can only start to wonder «ho i s protecting theConstitution. .

Scientology dec Is directly everyday with what every religion hasthroughout history* And that i s the spirituality of man. Svery aingla dayand every hour throughout the world Scientology ia advancing and helpingsen attain higher and higher understanding of his spiritual nature. By doingthis sen becomes happier, saner and more productive.

Dear Mr. Chiles,

As a voting American citizen, I am demanding an Investiga-tion Into the illegal and unconstitutional COINTELPRO-styletactics that have been and continue to be taken against theChurch of Scientology. „.__._ ._ _-. .-.___

Such tactics as are currently being carried out by agenciesand officials of the U.S. government, including the FBI andthe IRS'a Criminal Investigation Division (CID), are illegaland were expossed by Congress In the 1970's as such, y atthey continue against the Church of Scientology.

I believa that this lawless COINTELPRO c*a2itolg%, Jjxposedby FREEDOM Hews Journal in its April/Hay 1983 spec!S *kStJtfnstory, "Videotapes of Federal Informant Reveal Bizarre Govern-ment Plot to Destroy Church," poses the greatest threat Inour nation*s history to the right* and freedoms guaranteedto every American. . .

You have it in your hands to do something about this.Call for a thorough and public investigation into the IllegalCOINTELPRO-style activities.

•,5. the government agencies would then be "informed" where theincriminating documents were (those originated *nd planted as In• 2 1 3 above), and using search warrants etc issued based onthis "inside information", "find" the incriminating documentsthereby giving grounds for indicting the current executives andBoard Members of the Church. . _

6. The next steps were for the agents to declare themselvesto be the new management of the church and with variousgovernmental and private legal maneuvers, the assets andManagement of the church would be placed into the hands of theseagents ousting current church Management and bringing the entirechurch under full control of the IRS, FBI and some privateIndividuals helping in this takeover for personal gain.

These Activities are thoroughly documented including* videotapes; of the "recruiter" the names and phone numbers of theactual government agents. This entire scene brings to mind anearlier similar practice of the FBI, called COINJELFRO, (CounterIntelligence Program) banned over 10 years ago as a result ofCongressional hearings into these practices. Such practices wereused against Or. Martin Luther King Jr and many other individualsand organizations and-are now a matter of public record due to

• (

th>-i excel lent «#ork of -the US Congress a.t the. time. -•- These"Activities were, as X Mentioned btnnmd^ however a loophole was,left and this recent revelation leads as to believe that thepractice of COINTELPRO (possibly under a different name) stillexists and is still violating the Constitution of this greatnation while professing to uphold it. _ .. • , v _JL. .,_ .

I % TM-s data Is well documented and being covered by newspapersand -television news currently, so X will not try to document the•ntire issue herein. X have kept myself abreast of thissituation and find that the basic problem here is that thegovernmental agencies usually'expected to handle such Matters *rmall involved to a greater or lesser extent. The level to whichthis criminality extends is hot known and a resounding "NOCOMMENT" is so far forthcoming from the senior officials of theseagencies. To illusatrata, in Los Angeles, California, wherethese facts were uncovered, the govermental action currentlytaking place is Mainly in the form of reprimands directed at thelocal police department for their inadvertant cooperation 'withthe private investigator who uncovered and videotaped this plot'sand character assasination of the privmtm investigator himself.Rather than an investigation into the documented criminalactivities of the government employees themselves the victims andtheir agents and the local authorities ikrrn being attacked forexposing them. . . . . ... .....'. .

X am writing to you to get your assistance in getting aCongressional Investigation underway which will expose tha uecriminal activities and clean up these agencies so that Americanscan live with certainty that our basic rights, guaranteed by crSrCanstitution, mrm valid and will not be ignored, indeed trample'd,in an attempt to destroy us or our organisations, by the vex;ygovernment on which we the people depend to safeguard *nd upholdthj " '

Dear Faul«s

There is a Matter I'• gravely concerned About that threatensthe constitutional rights of all American .citizens. '... '*

Newspapers, radio, etc., including the N.Y. Times have beenreporting tl*C*I»MQt by the 1R§ Ic Pgl of groups and personsInvolved in Central American activities. ^

There are reports that federal undercover agents are engagingin actions similar to actions run by the FBI in the 60's It70 s, that is, the discredited COINTELPRO operations.

Now, there is a videotape available showing a formerScientology church employee, now turned government agent, Mhooutlines a multi-agency plan to disrupt the Church andreplace the Church management with persons under CSDfcrfiX. ofthe fiay££f*st&l iatO.tl involved.

1 understand Counter-intelligence operations mrm legal aslong as approved by the National Headquarters, but no onethought the IRS Criminal Investigations Div. would run covertoperations against American citizens and groups as seems tobe the case in the Scientology matter and the CentralAmerican group's harassment. ......

What we want, I and my friends, is for you to support a callfor investigation and hearings into agency domesticintelligence operations.

Also, I ask that you get in touch with the IRS and FBI anddemand they explain the cases mentioned above and given anaccounting (in full) of all the current domestic intelligenceactivities. ; -,*

I trust you will stake America a safe place for its* honest •eit'izens! • > • - ••

Dear Congressman Biliraklsi .-..*-..

X just became aware of a «atter which X fCnd. quitealarming. There is a strong threat posed fey certain internalintelligence operations to the constitutional rights ofcitizens of the United States. It is being conductedcurrently by the IRS nd the FBI. There mrm Department ofJustice people in cooperation with this operation. This isy/mry undermining to the well being of the American people.

2 am sending a copy of this letter to all the peoplementioned below and am especially mppmAlinQ to Don Edwards,Chairman of the Subcommittee on Civil and ConstitutionalRights, to have his committee look into this.

o need your help as e,y key congressman of this district.is what has happened! A former Church of Scientology

X alsoThis is what has happened! A former Church of Scientologyemployee has released video tapes made during an undercoversting operation. The video shows a *ulti*agency plan todisrupt the Church internally and in the confusion, to oustcurrent executives, replacing them with government picked,government controlled persons. You can see the effect thiswould have on the Church. Xt is also blatant infringment onreligious freedom. If this is let to occur, what indeed isnext?! The lion dens? X just have even reading books with ay8 ysar old son of those first Americans who came to thecolonies so they could fallow their religion in peace. Xdidn't *afce the stories up - they are our history.

For the reasons stated above, X am requesting that you cometo.-the Church's aid and to ether Americans as well, bysupporting a call for hearings into government domesticintelligence operations. X am afraid that this may just bethe tip of an iceberg. Heaven forbid! Xt is harmful if you or2, as citizens, just sit back watching constitutional rightsgetting whittled away. Its like being a spectator to a severeaccident and watching someone who needs an ambulance butdoing nothing about It, but on a much grander scale.

Could you «l»o MTit* the IRS and the FBI f«qu«stino «n'•*.*...,..explanation for th« abov« «>ulti-ag«ncy plan? - ;':

So that you hav« no missing information Z suggest you writeFREEDOM magazinvi 1413 N. Berendo St., Los Ang«l«s,California 90027, or call them so they can send you theirApril/May 1985 issue in which the video tapes have beentranscribed. . -

Z await your letter advising; «e o-f what you have discoveredand o-f what Z am to do next as a concerned (frantic) citizen.

A certain Matter has come to my Attention which X thinkis important enough to bring to your attention. There' is avery real threat to the constitutional rights of everyAmerican citizen, including yourself. Specifically there areinternal intelligence operations being conducted right now bythe XRS and the FBI with cooperation from certain Departmentof Justice terminals.

For * fact, the New York Times recently reportedharassment by the FBI mnd IRS of various citizens and groupsinvolved in Central American activities. Outrightallegations have surfaced that federal undercover agents are .engaging in COINTELPRO which are the exact same operationsthat the FBI engaged in and said it stopped in 19711—

Another fact is that the Church of Scientology hasreleased video tapes made during an undercover stingoperation. The subject of the video tape is how a former .-Church employee, who is now a government agent, is planning,as part of a multi-agency plan, to disrupt the Church of -Scientology internally and then oust current Churchmanagement, replacing them with persons under the control ofthe government agents involved. This is the truth, and whenyou see the tapes you Mill believe it too.

For the above reason X request that you support a call•for hearings into government domestic Intelligenceoperations. You and X cannot afford to sit back and have ourconstitutional rights taken away from us. Also, X requestthat you write the ZRS and the FBI demanding an explanationof-the cases above and a full accounting of their domesticintelligence activities including their actions in presenttie*. ..-..- •

*• X believe in American rights and X believe you do also.Please let me know what you are going to do in this matter.

Dear Mr. Chiles, —

As a citizen of the United States and living in yourarea of responsibility, I want you to know that I want anInvestigation into-the affairs of the various agencies attackingthe Church of Scientology.

This is a disgrace and wasteful of our country's money.I cannot stand aside and allow this blatant violation ofthe Church and my own first amendment rights. It's moredisgusting than the Watergate incident and I'm sure youwouldn't want to allow First Amendment rights to be trampledupon by your neglect.

There is s one thing J vould llks you to look into.

The Church off Scientology has recently exposed (by my of videotapes of«n actual instance) the existence of domestic "COXmSUSO" operationsinrol-rlng the IBS and the FBI with a link to the Sept. off Justice.

As Incredible as this way sound, • fanner church nesfcer-aov a governnentagent-was conspiring with IRS CH> agents along with an individual fromthe FBI to overthrew the church Management and to somehow bring thechurch under the control of the government.

If this sounds insane, you're right. That's just what i t i s .

Vho else and what other group is being subjected to this kind of thing?

HLsase support a call for hearings regarding such activities being con-ducted by these agencies of the U.S. Oowrxaant.

Thank you, ~ ~

Mr. William 8. SessionsDept. of Justice/FBIJEH Building #7176Washington, D.C. 20535

^ Mr. Sessions,

i I'm writing to you concerning INTERPOL, the International• '. Criminal Police Organisation. The glorified image of INTERPOLi 7 portrayed oft TV and in movies is that of an inter-governmental5 ^police force using the most Bodern Beans to track down the world's~ most sinister criminals. It may come as a surprise to you that

INTERPOL is actually a private organisation whose efficiency, .usefulness and reliability is currently being questioned by law'enforcement officials in the U.S. and abroad.

As your agency has representatives in INTERPOL, I want tobring to your attention the information in the enclosedpublication, yNTljRPOlf j Private Group, pu,b.jlic Menace.i

INTERPOL has accumulated hundreds of thousands of dossiers oncitizens, without their Knowledge or consent, resulting in abusesof their

The 1988 t?.S» Department of Justice Manual states,is something of e legal curiosity... It is founded on aconstitution written by a group of police officers who did not «*submit it for diplomatic signatures, nor have they ever submittedit for ratification by governments." .,„- 19 ^

The General Accounting Office has conducted twoinvestigations into the U.S. branch of INTERPOL, call«d;ithe-tnfi€feif^States National Central Bureau (USNCB). They found that INTERPOL-DSNCB does not verify the accuracy of the Information it transmits,and has set itself up to be almost entirely exempt from thePrivacy Act.

•-.iAThe GXO also found that "foreign police and National Central

Bureaus make extensive use of non-Interpol channels in dealingwith U.S. matters" as these other channels are "considered faster,sore flexible... and more effective."

.£>' '.'£)• .Growing coi ^0A over corrupt activitie ^ r INTERPOL officials

and widespread recognition that INTERPOL is not a needed entityhave resulted in investigations into INTIRPOL internationally.(See Chapter 6.)

Our government pours over $5 Billion per year into XNTERPOL,including the financing of INTERPOL headquarters in France andvarious substations in the Caribbean.

As noted in a January 21, 1985 memorandum from the RoyalCanadian Mounted Police, written after review of earlier Churchpublications on INTERPOL, "The church's various studies read welland show extensive research. They, in turn, indicate thatInterpol is employing ex-Nazis, running on clandestine financingfroa interested governments end being utilised to acquirepolitical information."

Is INTERPOL, with its many liabilities, really necessary? Isit worth the risk to the rights of citltens of this country whenthere are parallel law enforcement agencies that can do the jobmore effectively and without these risks?

Please read the enclosed booklet and let me know if there isany further Information Z can provide to you.

In the IV2Us and early IVWs. In-ierpol lunciioned as a loose associa-tion through which police officialscould get to know each other and thanideas.

Cooperation among its memberpolice forces was informal. Few. ifany, of them had the authority to bind•heir governments to any arrangementsthey might make. Nonetheless, coop-eration occurred — as a former secre-laiy general of Interpol. Andre Bos-unl . staled ill IWS. "Hor »long timewe operated as a MM of prutcsuonalc h * . "

The coming to power of ihe Nazisin Germany changed this basis ofoperation.

As early as 19k.. the Nazis had aplan for using iheu Knairulpok/ei(or criminal police! fur coumerintelli-gence purpwiev As shown duringWorld War II. Inierpol, under HutGermany, was a vital pan of ihis plan.

attorney who has worked on Interpol-related civil rights cases for a numberof years, pointed out that the headquar-ters agreement "legally prevents anyoutside agency from examiningImerpoTs archives or any of the dossi-ers and information currently being•elained by the organisation."*

A copy of theGovernment's memorandum in support of this motion is attached.In this memorandum the Government asserted that plaintiffs canbe allowed to participate in the formulation of the inquirieswithout the necessity of seeing defendants' submission, which-was thought to have been for the use of the court only. Thus,the Government contended the court's order should be amendedto allow plaintiff to participate by submitting its own suggestionswithout requiring defendants' in camera submission to be released.Alternatively, the Government contended that should the courtbelieve plaintiff is entitled to see defendants' proposal, the Governmentshould be allowed to delete from their in camera submission severalmatters of a sensitive nature (the approximate number of Agents inWFO who could initiate electronic surveillance requests underTitle HI and the approximate number of Agents in WFO who wereconducting electronic surveillance on or about 4/30/74). TheGovernment then submitted an amended in camera memorandumwith the sensitive material deleted, a copy of which is attached.

On 3/13/71, Assistant tfafcted States Attorney Rankin advisedthat on 3/12/75, the court entered an order la this matter, a copyof which is attached, requiring the Government to submit to the plaintiffsthe Government's amended submission.

On 4-2-75 Assistant U. S. Attorney (AUSA) RobertRankin, J r . , Washington, D. C., made available plaintiffsresponse to the Government's submission, a copy of -which isattached. In their discovery suggestions, plaintiff states thatall Special Agents in our WFO should be questioned and that thescope of the inquiry should be broadened to include any officers,agents, employees, or representatives of piahtiff and all typesof electronic surveillance.

On 4-9-75, AUSA Rankin made available the Government'sresponse to plaintiff's discovery suggestions, a copy of which isattached. Noting that the affidavit of Assistant Director McDermottstated that at no time has the FBI conducted any form of electronicsurveillance on plaintiff, the Government contends its motion forsummary judgment should be decided on the present record.Alternatively, should the court decide that discovery must go forward,the Government contends that because supervisors would haveknowledge of any surveillance activities conducted in the scope ofany Agents employment, the inquiries should be directed to supervisorypersonnel only. Also, because the identity of all officers and employeesof plaintiff is unknown to the FBI, the Inquiry should be restrictedto cover electronic surveillance of plaintiff only. Inasmuch asMr. McDermott's affidavit included all types of electronic surveillance,however, the Government is prepared to expand the inquiry so thatit will not be restricted to Title XQ surveillance. ,

Attnt James Robinson* Esq. . . , ' . . . •• . General Crimes Section •- " .. '; . . ' .„.-,

Pursuant to your telephone conversation with Robert Rankin of thisoffice on August 7* 1874* we transmit herewith a copy of the complaintand a motion to compel recently filed by plaintiff. For your Information*we will briefly summarise the history of mis litigation.

Plaintiff alleges in the complaint oat aa illegal wiretap was placedon one of its telephone* by the FBI* sad seeks an injunction and moneydamages pursuant 18 U.S.C. 3S20. A motion for a temporary restrainingorder was filed by plaintiff* supported by as affidavit of Terry A. Bibbs*an officer of plaintiff, who averred mat as she was attempting to placea call from one of plaintiff* s telephones she was interrupted by a malevoice which stated bis name was Bob Wiclomore. that he was a specialagent of the FBI* and that he was operating a switchboard for fte FBI

' was monitoring the call* on that phone. - .-'-•' . • •

f<

At a hearing on the motion* we submitted as affidavit of Jdm M.ICcDermott* the Special Agent in charge of the Washington Field Officeof the FBI. The affidavit stated mat a search of the FBI files indicatedfeat Hataotimehas the FBI conducted any form of electronic surveillanceon fee Founding Church of Scientology. ••** and that FBI files indicate

' that there is no past or present employee by the aame Bob Widomoreor any phonetic variation thereof. We argued that this affidavit dearlyorercome the allegations of plaintiff supported by the hearsay* speculative*wad rather remarkable affidavit ot Tarry Bibbs and required denial «fthe motion for temporary restraining order as well as dismissal of themtit. _ . . - ' " • - > " - • • •. ••- • . / -

- 2 -

Judge Richey denied the application for temporary restraining orderbut Indicated that plaintiff would be allowed to take an expedited deposi-tion of Mr. McDermott to clarify certain points In the "general" affidavit.One of the Judge's concerns was whether a wiretap would be encompassedby the term "electronic surveillance" as used In the affidavit.

The deposition was taken on June 21, 1974. Mr. McDermott un-equivocally confirmed the statements In his affidavit and further explainedthat any requests for FBI wiretaps in D.C. would come through hisoffice, that FBI index cards relating to plaintiff would reference whetherelectronic surveillance was ever conducted on plaintiff's telephone eitherIn conjunction with an Investigation of the Church or any Individual knownto use the telephone.

At tiie deposition* plaintiff's counsel attempted to make a detailedinquiry Into the Internal operations of the local FBI office* includingstaffing, details of processing wiretap applications, Investigativetechniques and the technical method of conducting a wiretap. %t ob-jected to theee questions a* being outside the scope of the depositionas we interpreted Judge Ridley's order, as being Irrelevant in lightof Mr. McDermott's testimony mat no wiretaps had even been placedon plaintiffs telephones, and. In part* on grounds of privilege. Onadvice of counsel* Mr. McDermott refused to answer these questions.

Plaintiff has now filed a motion to compel answers, a copy of whichis attached. Our response Is due on August 14* 1974* Ve hope to beto position to not only oppose the motion but also file a motion for summaryjudgment. Since most of the law in me area of alleged Illegal wire-tap* has apparently developed In Hie criminal field, w« would appreciateany assistance that you might be able to provide, particularly as to the•xtent of (he Government's burden in overcoming plaintiff's assertionsand any Information concerning plaintiff's argument to part 1 mt teein ymppyftdrHTv supporting Its motion*

Mr. Robert Rankfn of this office has been principally assigned toconduct the defense of mis case* and stands ready to discuss It withyou at your convenience. His telephone somber Is 416-73&2.

As a means of resolving the difficult questions posed bydefendants' May 22, 1975 motion to modify the court's orders ofOctober 23, 1974 and April 22, 1975 it was agreed in a colloquyamong the court and counsel for the respective parties thatthe discovery directed by those orders would proceed by way of k ioral deposition, the transcripts to be placed under sealCounsel for the defendants may advise the persons to be deposedôf the pendency and nature of this civil action in advance of tntheir depositions.

v. Uilliam E. Saxbe, et a l . , Civil Action No. 74-744 (D.D.C.) '

Reference is made to my telegram bearing date-time group161455S, subject as above, which authorized certain personnelof the Washington Field Office to give deposition testimonyin the subject c ivi l action.

The court order which occasioned the aforementionedtestimony posed unusual requirements in that it contemplateddeposing as many as approximately -4G persons who were assignedto the electronic surveillance monitoring unit of the V.'asliingtonField Office in April 1974. Uhile the court order did establishrestrictions on the scope of deposition inouiry by plaintiff'scounsel, the area of inquiry was nevertheless a potentiallysensitive and difficult one. Essential to the use of the testi-mony as an adequate factual basis for obtaining an order ofdismissal or suimary judgment for the federa^defendantEwas the j>\rcooperation of the Supervisor-Special Agent,fUHHHIPof the'Kashington FielS Office, liis cooperation and appreciation ofthe factual record that we needed to develop under the peculiarcircumstances of this civil action were instrumental in bringingthis case to the apparent threshold of a successful conclusion.

In preparing himselâna^diejaersojmel under his super-vision for deposition,t(HHBp|BBcapably grasped the balancebetween the security intSrestôftiis office and personnel onthe one hand and the need for relevant information in the caserecord on the other. At the conelusic-nof^^n-depositions inless than two hours, including H H H f l H B H own, plaintiff'scounsel stated that he was persuauec^Sy^^^s facts developedin the testimony during the morning of October 17, 1975, that

BED 2?7 NOV 1 1 1975

-2-

he had no basis for further maintenance of this civil actionagainst personnel of the FBI. Consequently, we anticipatefavorable termination of this litigation in the near future.

It should be noted that compliance with the court'sdiscovery order presented a significant problem of preparing

—several 4ozen persons to testify, some of them no longerassigned to the Washington Field Office, and the additionalproblem of having them later available on a standby basis in

an uncertain deposition sequence and schedule.__ >-handled these problems skillfully and with a

minimum burden either on the time of his personnel or on thedepartmental attorney's time. As a result, all potentialwitnesses were v/ell prepared for the depositions, and thosewho testified did so convincingly.

In this civil action, an officer of plaintiff .submitted an affidavit averring that on 4/30/74, as she was ,yj'.attempting to place a call on one of plaintiff's telephones, 'she was interrupted by a male voice who stated he wasBob Wiclomore, a Special Agent of the FBI, and that he wasoperating an FBI switchboard and monitoring the calls onplaintiff's phone. Alleging that an illegal wiretap wasplaced on one of its telephones, plaintiff seeks an in-junction and money damages. The Government proceeded to movefor summary judgment, denying plaintiff's allegations andfiling an appropriate affidavit of an FBI official (formerWFO SAC 3. J. McDermott),

The court proceeded to enter an order specifying //that the Government's motion for summary judgment shall be Icontinued until the completion of discovery procedures, i.e/,oral deposition of personnel at WFO who were monitoring on4/30/74.

By airtel dated 10/3/75, SAC, WFO, was furnishedpertinent background information regarding this matter andadvised that the depositions would be scheduled in a mannerleast disruptive to his office.

WILLIAM B. SAXBE, et al. (D.D.C.) CIVIL ACTION NO. 74-744

On 10/17/75, Gordon Daiger,Departmental Attorney handling this civil action, advisedthat ten monitoring personnel at WFO were deposed thatmorning. Mr. Daiger complimented the cooperation of WFOpersonnel and in particular, theableassistance and pro- , ,.fessionalism of WFO Supervisor Vjj[j|^^HH|Hflp Mr* Daiger bpalso stated that as a result of^ne^epos^^rons, the Govern-ment was able to establish the following: that no FBI em-ployee engaged in the activity alleged in the complaint inthis civil action, i.e., wiretapping or a conversation withan employee of plaintiff on 4/30/74; that FBI employeesengaged in telephone monitoring at WFO cannot speak or beheard on a monitored line; and that FBI technicians at WFOhave the ability to speak or be heard on a monitored linebut that in fact no WFO technician engaged in any of theactivity alleged in the complaint.

Mr. Daiger added 1:hat following the depositions,Thomas E. Patton, counsel for plaintiffs, commented that hesaw no need to conduct further discovery relative to theFBI. Daiger stated that in the next several weeks, theDepartment will file the transcripts and depositions withthe Court under seal. If plaintiffs themselves do not moveto dismiss this suit, the Government will renew its motionfor summary judgment.

On 10/20/75, f H H H H H j H J H r WF0 SuPerviBOr' l^jfi -advised that WFO will op£r^sninTer<5eption of Communicationsinvestigation concerning the activity alleged in the complaintin this civil action and asked whether the Department wouldObject to such an investigation, given the fact that this civilaction is still pending. This matter was discussed withMr. Daiger on 10/20/75, at which time he advised he would con-sider the matter and make the Department's views known to theBureau. On 10/28/75, Mr. Daiger advised the Department has nojection to WFO conducting an Interception of Communicationsinvestigation concerning the alleged interception in thismatter, provided that no one affiliated with plaintifforganization is interviewed at this time. Daiger explainedthat members of plaintiff organization feel they are thesubject of Government harassment and that interview of - • .

individuals affiliated with plaintiff concerning this mattercould be so interpreted by them, thus causing possible prob-lems relative to the successful termination of this civilaction.
