JOHN states concerning SINATRA'S relationship with
the KENNEDYs, JOSEPH P, KENNEDY, the father of the KENNEDY clan,
is of all the KENNEDYs the closest to SINATRA and, therefore,
contacts made with ROBERT KENNEDY Should perhaps be made
through the father. SINATRA apparently feels that the KENNEDY
sons would not be faithful to JOE KENNEDY and perhaps would not
listen to any request made by STNATRA. JOHN feels differently
about this; however, mention is then made by GIANCANA of a
donution, the amount undetermined, which was made, GIANCANA
then states that he will tot. costribute one penny toward
any future campaign by the KENNEDYs and states that the
"(obs) better not think of taking this (obs) state" referring
to the State of Illinois. ,
_ Reference is then made to the Cal-Neva Logge which
is located in the Lake Tahoe, Nevada, c Calstevs Loghe. is a
modern, plush resort which sets aStride the Nevada-California
line and among the large stockholders of this lodge is FRANK
SINATRA, who owns 36.6 per cent. Apparently GIANCANA,, according
to this conversation, has money in there which he intends to
get out and then “wind up with half of the joint with no money.”
Apparently JOHN feels that D'AMATO 15 going to get his gaming
license regardless of his past activities such license being
for the purpose of being emplayed in the Cal-Neva Lodge.
Apparently GIANCANA was ir conversation with SINATRA
during the time that GIANCANA was in Florida which would have
_ placed this period as some time in January or February of 1961,
GIANCANA then makes reference wr The fuct that, recently a. -.
