Tolson, Deceased Dear Mr. Monk: As we have previously informed you, certain property located in the offices of the late J. Rdgaxr Hoover which vas packed and stored in boxes in a storeroom of the Federal Bureau of Investigation following Mr. Hoover's death appears to be personal in nature and was the personal property of Mr. Hoover. Inventories of the contents of these boxes yere sent to you in December 1976. As such, under the provisions of Mr. Hoower'se will, the property passed to Mr. Tolson upon Mr. Hoower's death. Upon ‘tr. Tolson’s death, it became a part of his estate and passed under his will. t@der Be of the Second Codicil of *tr. Tolson's will, it pas ° executor in trust for the purpose of selecting thoam as which should be installed in “the J.

Moreover, there is no J. Edgar Goover ?oom in the new FBI building end it is our understanding that none is contersplated. We are informed that the PBI has already accepted all Hoover memorabilia which can be accommodated in the Hoover memorial area On the Tour Route. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the Government would accept any of the property with the stated condition attached, even if offered by the executor.
