HSC KEWORA DUK FOR Th ATTOWLY GENEAni In re: {International Criminal Police Commission Meeting. I am returning to you herewith the letter from Hr. Carr, . Assistent Secretary of State. Presumably any of ‘the members of your Advisory Committee on Crise would be eligible for nomins- tion as delegates to attend the meeting of the Internationsl] Criminal Police Commission referred to in kr. Carr's letter. Just who might be willing to accept such a designation with the understanding the. he should psy his own expenses is, of cource, a difficult question to answer, wWiliism Draper Lewis told ms “at the time of the meeting of the Advisory Committee tlit he expected to go to Europe shortly after the meeting of the American Lew Institute, so it is conceivable that he might hoe cena to extend his trip long enough to attend tle meeting inopenhugen, Presurebly any of th outstanding law school men woukd be free at thet time of the year as most of the schools close about t* middle of June. . Dean Pound is, of course, an outstanding authority, Thorsten Sellin of the Department of Sociology of the Universit, of Pennsyl- ‘vania is an outstanding authority in this field. He was a dele- gote to your Crime Conference in December, he is the editzur of the Annals of the American Academy Of Politicsl and Social Sciences and has an international reputation as a criminologist. Perhaps Chief Slecardi might be interested in attending especially in vies of the fact that the neeting ls featuring police work. From the Department of Justice I would assume thet J. Edgsr Hoover would be wost eligible appointee and probebly one who would be received with great interest by the representatives of other countries. Chief August Vollmer of Berkiey is perhaps regarded as the outstanding police chief of this country by authorities in this field throughout the world, but I am sure that be would not be able to mske the trip because, as you Imow, he guffered a heart attack while he was in Washington recently and I am informed that he will be living under hospital diacipline for several months. Colonel Arthur D. Woods of New York, Mr. Arthur Dunham of New York, dir. Bruce Smith of New York and Mr. Leonard Harrison of the same city are oll outctanding authorities in the police field and esch of them might appreciate receiving # designation at your hands. / re yitog i Respectfully submitted, { ry - hofoae . ; er 4 tie e RECORDED & (INDEXED Gr oT . -. ? af a JUSTIN NILEES, 2. 7 ‘. ff 7, Te _ Ws yoo || ~ Chairman, The Attorué, ceneredte—- “oc ¥ Ss Advisory Committee ee a r | JUN 217035 1 GY * MAY 141985 ayo, a 1 ft
