em ™ Memorandum to Mr. W. C. Sullivan RE: ARTHUR SCOTT BARNHARDT; et al | 98-46479 Investigations are still being conducted with regard to incidents at Kent State University, 5/1-4/70, by the Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Arson Division of State Fire Marshal. The Internal Security Division by letter 6/15/70, explaining the necessity for their request that additional investigation be conducted to establish a Sabotage violation, has in so doing continued to exhibit a do nothing attitude with regard to prosecution of other Federal violations which appear apparent. Accordingly, a letter has been prepared to the Attorney General with copies to the Deputy Attorney General, Assistant Attorneys General, Criminal Division, Civil Rights Division and Internal Security Division, pointing out the apparent lack of sufficient infomation at this time to initiate local prosecutions and requesting a decision as to whether Federal prosecution is warranted. RECOMMENDATION: That the attached letter to the Attorney General advising as to the status of prosecutive action and requesting @ decision as to whether Federal prosecution is warranted be approved. / | -~2-
