Room At this time SAC Hallford called from Springfield and y; stated that while he was talking to the Bureau on another matter he desired advice regarding the Lewis case in the following re a (2) The copies of the reports for the Department which were being held by him per the request of attorney Frank Coleman who is handling the case in the De- partment. The question Hallford had was whether the reports should still be held or forwarded to the Bureau for transmittal to the Department. After checking with who is supervising this case, tor any late information, Mr. ord Was advised that the Bureau would instruct hin relative to the matter after contacting the Department. (2) Mr. Hallford requested advice as to when SA OC would return to Springfield. = as you will recall, was brought here specially for a conference at the Department rega additional accounting investigation. I ad~ vised Mr. Hallford that was leaving either tonight or in the morn- ing. While discussing this case with him, I also apprised Mr. Hallford of the fact that no decision has been communicated to the Bureau regarding the grand jury - that is, whether this case will actually be presented to AD the present Federal Grand Jury sitting at Springfield, Thlincis. SAC Hall- ~ ford pointed out that he had a fraud case which it was suggested to the USA might be presented to the present grand jury prior to its Probable dismissal on Friday of this week, namely, October 1, ‘The USA told Haliford that the fraud case should be held up until three weeks fran now when another grand fury would be sitting. Although there is no basis for it, SAC Hallford feels this might be pertinent in that a special grand jury may be called in Tory, about three weeks to hear the Lewis case if it is not presented to the ; | present grand jury.
