@ ® ; Pees a MEMORANDUM FOR MR. CALLAHAN Lge — _ MR. JENKINS =p 7) fe, MR. MILLER | Then 7 if a 1 have just had a memorandum sent me by Assistant Director Wannall in which consideration was given to situations which might arise in the Hearnap | Case, I think it was splendidly done and have sent you & copy of my remarks to this effect, , . ; . . In the consideration of this write-up, particular attention is paid to | bossible problems which might arise suddenly and be particalarly difficult because of a lack of preparation for such contingencies. In going over these problems, I think the three of you should review such offerings and see if there are any more definitive answers which might be given and thereafter submit to me your analysis. Were this not to te done, it could be we would have policy develop ina rather haphazard way, but on the other hand, with the responses added it would give us a more meaningful procedure and solidify our thinking __ in these regards. In recent developments in the Hearnap Case, a slatement s appeared in the Washington Post to the effect that SAC Rates had given some } ~ sapport to an amnesty request for the kicnapers. To forestall such & con- i} ciliation possibility, perhaps we should set out a rigid rule regarding atch _ oo contingencies and when we are in a discussion with the parents or other rela-. | tives of a victim, these can te revinwsd for their guidance in the event it comes _ Up in the negotiating procedures.. I recognize there are many things which are _ now discussie with such people, however, am of the cpliica tiie relatives probably could be guided a little more if they had the benefit of cur experience and Supgestions. An example occurred in the Hearnap Case whore it was folt several weeks ago that Mr. Hearst might well have been ina better negotiating - _ position had he taken a firmer stand. Ag tt is, ‘the subjects have control and they apparently have now sottled on the conversion of the victim into their way wee. ov, Of thinking as the ultimate answer to their problem as to tho disposition of the fH oe. avam¥ictim, I say ‘ disposition: in the sense that they apparently feel through this @ a... procedure they can proceed with a fair degree ofimmunity. 7 eae I would appreciate your consideration of this and thon that we get ris & con tQpether to hammer out some answers. This rea be done by May 10, 1974. | Ieeiton | SENT rom Db. 0. |Very traly yours, /- (9209 ZG G _ Intell. __- Tora F208, #4 ATL / .. _» . .
