BELMONT [" vate, August 12, 1959 Tolson McGuire __ d —— SUBJECT: EDMUND GERALD BROWN Defoe ATOMIC ENERGY ACT - APPLICANT Trotter W.C. Sullivan — Ao Helfomen a My memorandum of July 21, 1959, reflected that the Gandy —_ Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) had advised us to hold in abeyance efi) its request for an investigation of Brown, Governor of California men, in connection with his need for AEC clearance as G member of the re, Board of Regents of the University of California. It may be noted . that AEC so advised us after being informed by us that when Earl wa Warren was Governor of California, which automatically carries with it membership on the Board of Regents, the Bureau did not investigate Warren for AEC clearance. In the Warren case, clearance by AEC was based on a letter from us stating that Bureau files did not reflect derogatory information on Warren's character, loyalty, and associates, and that no further inguiry would be conducted unless specifically requested by AEC. On July 24, 1959, AEC Security Director, John A. Waters, i said there was nothing new on the Brown situation and that we should}? continue to hold the matter in abeyance. On August 12, 1959, the I Liaison representative was again in touch with Waters about the Brown case. Waters said that there was nothing new; that he had mentioned the problem to the General Manager at AEC; that presumably it was still under consideration in the General Manager's Office; and that he, Waters, had not yet followed tt up but would now do so. Waters said that he would let us know as soon as Ga decision in the case has. been reached at AEC.
