SPIRO T.CAGNEW, VICE-PRESIDENT is 77 reese — INFORMATION CONCERNING At 8:58 a.m. today ASAC Ed Foley, Baltimore Office, called. He advised he had been contacted by U. S. Attorney George Beall concerning captioned matter. (This is the tax case being handled by IRS involving prominent political figures in the Baltimore, Maryland, area including Vice-President Spiro Agnew. As an outgrowth of the tax case, several other potential federal violations within the FBI's jurisdiction have been uncovered. The U. S. Attorney (USA) and Assistant Attorney General Petersen have instructed IRS should continue f the investigation in view of the complexity of the case and the length of time it has been under investigation. ) Foley advised USA Beall stated he had talked to Attorney General Richardson and Assistant Attorney General Petersen the night of 8/9/73, and requested the use of an FBI polygraph operator in interviewing at-léast two persons and possibly four persons on the morning of 8/10/73 in Baltimore. Attorney General Richardson and Assistant Attorney General Petersen, according to Beall, not only gave their authority, but Petersen specifically suggested SA Joe Pearce of our Philadelphia Office, a qualified polygraph operator. (Pearce was used in the Watergate investigation and apparently Petersen was impressed with the results in that instance. ) Since time was of the essence, I advised ASAC Foley at 9:25 a.m. to comply with the USA's request and that he, Foley, should make the necessary arrangements for the arrival of SA Pearce. In the event Pearce was unavailable, he should contact Assistant Director White of the Laboratory for the identity of an alternate Agent to administer a polygraph. 49 _ S211 — t REG- 199 CONTINUED - OVE REG:mcw (5) 18 AUG 17 1973 4 if BY AUE 7 1973 ee
