yi” etye tees ten ortu) SDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGAT ~" On This Date 7/61 ROBERT MAHEU was interviewed at 190 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, California, on July 13, 1961. MAHEU was informed of his right to an attorney and that: he did not have to answer questions and that anything he did say could be used against him in a court of law. MAHEU stated that in connection with the confidential assignment for Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) he had been in contact with SAMUEL GIANCANA and had received valuable assistance from GIANCANA, which, in turn, was furnished to CIA. MAHEU had reason to believe that GIANCANA may have disclosed information regarding the project and, in view of the sensitive nature of the pro- ject, he, MAHEU, decided to determine whether or not GIANCANA had actually talked to unauthorized persons. He was aware that GIANCANA was very close in a romantic way with PHYLLIS MC GUIRE of the Mc Guire Sisters Trio. He said that if GIANCANA had diaclosed this informatim regarding project to myone,he' would have disclosed it to PHYLLIS MC GUIRE. He said that he was also aware that in the fall of 1960 the relations between PHYLLIS MC GUIRE and GIANCANA were strained and that PHYLLIS was romantically involved with DAN ROWAN, who was appearing at the Ridera Hotel in Las Vegas. He considered it very vital to deter- mine whether or not GIANCANA was reliable anddecided to order an installation on DAN ROWAN's room in an effort to determine whether or not GIANCANA had disclosed any infor- matim regarding the project to PHYLLIS MC GUIRE. . To MAHEU stated that this decicion was his own and that GIANCANA had no knowledge that the installation was made He said tmt he did discuss this with JOHN ROSSELLI, since he felt obligated to discuss it with ROSSELLI, as ROSSELLI had been instrumental in putting him in contact with GIANCANA. MAHEU denied that the instal- lation was made at the reqnest of ROSSELLI or GIANCANA or for the benefit of either ROSSELLI or GIANCANA.\ -8~ 7/13/61__,, Beverly Hills, California fiji, ¥ LA 92-113 1 a... dictated —_—_TAT/61_ __—_ : ME neither recommendations not conclusions of the FBI.
