A. “mah / ——— SUBJECT: TRAVEL OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL This memorandum is submitted to supplement teletypes sent — , from San Francisco and Seattle with relation to the Atto rney General's visit to these cities earlier this month. This was a combination business and vacation trip on the part of the Attorney General —_ He arranged his flight from Washington Friday afternoon, August 3, 1962, so he could transfer in Chicago to the American Airlines flight from Boston to San Francisco which was being used by his wife and four older children. On arrival in San Francisco, the Attorney General and his family were met by their weekend hosts, Mr. and Mrs. John Bates. Bates is a San Francisco attorney in a prominent law firm headed by John Sutro, President of the San Francisco Bar Association. The Attorney General and his family spent the weekend at the Bates ranch located about sixty miles south of San Francisco. This was strictly a personal affair. / I went on into San Francisco myself as I had been invited to | | attend the banquet of the Ninth Judicial Circuit Conference Friday evening. \ This gave me the opportunity of talking with several Federal Judges I know on the west coast and I was introduced to the audience by Chief Judge Richard Chambers of the Court of Appeals. At the banquet I sat with the Chief Judge of the District Court in San Francisco, George B. Harris. The Ninth Judicial Circuit Conference continued on Saturday when I had f further opportunity of talking with the Judges. This circuit, of course, covers the Rocky Mountain and western states and none of the Judges raised any problem insofar as the Bureau is concerned and were most commendatory. | They seemed to be well-acquainted with the various Special Agents in Charge in their home communities and spoke favorably of their relationships with the FBI field offices. we The Attorney General and his family returned to San Francisco . Se and they stayed overnight in the apartment of the parents of Navy etary Fay. {6 boat, Fi HO M77 _ 5, 22Z— 300 —nrainanacts + . fe _ee .- 8 gee bp; Ses q3 AUG 29 19t2 a ~~ OW an eh eet ee ce ier oe : :
