MC CARTHY : ve Ne : > (D - MINNESOTA) | | Tn fy y Vy During the past week, Mr. Tolson was in contact with former Assistant to the Director Nichols during which time the recent . activities of captioned individual were discussed, Mr. Nichols recalled that the Bureau had some difficulty with McCarthy when he was a Congressman several years ago. It is noted thaf Mr. McCarthy was elected to the 81st Congress in 1948 and served in succeeding Congresses until elected to the Senate in November, 1958. INFORMATION IN BUFILES: Mr. Nichols quite possibly recalls the i:cident wherein McCarthy, while in the House of Representatives, was one of the 17 members in the House who voted against the Jencks Bill on August 27, 1957. (This information was previously included in my summary memorandum to you concerning captioned individual dated 4/19/68.) The Jencks Bill was designed to protect the confidential nature of FSI files as a result of the Jencks decision. This, of course, was an f anti- FBI move on McCarthy's part. my , RECOMMENDATION: Vw, oe — j ,: ae ‘os fhh > 1948. o For‘nformation. ; 25 WAY 6 R68 yt . ££ OD y gion) ravi - Mr. DeLoach’ ' 1- Mr. Bishop Og , oe MAY 4 9968 1 - Mr. Sullivan 3 ; / iti toc/db (7) conan PARES —_—_ —— rr ee —-- we : : . . “ . “ou : 7 . rer - pe - wt wa - o* : + ‘~ wet . wa’? er as 3 Pe rae em ne, we eee a ame A ge ‘. : a en rie a ea “ws - ~—” hr ~ . tee . a ee? ™ ~ = ~ Pee Ss i a Le “we OF skal ieee dekcntiennseaianerak echo cehenaatieetiaabemadtetn ce ear anith tetanic Ah: AREER SERIA aati RE Fe me ee ee : TER petite
