It was authorized 5/28/65 and installed 6/15/65. There had been prior installations dating back to 1962, , vt Peper ewarwere sive 3) Examples of valuable intelligence derived through this tesur during the past 90 days are as follows: In September and October, 1966, King and Levison conferred on two occasions as to what position King should take concerning “black power." Levison advised King to keep in the middle, which he has done. On October 19, 1966, King advised Levison that he had met with McGeorge Bundy of the Ford Foundation. According to King, Bundy is convinced that the Foundation would make a large grant to King's group. On November 8, 1966, King and Levison discussed whether or not King should meet with James Hoffa, President of the Teamsters Union in Washington, D. C. Levison urged King to g° ahead with the meeting dispite the publicity concerning it. Also in November and December, 1966, King was in conference with Levison aS to what points he should make when he testifies before Senator Abraham A. Ribicoff's Senate Subcommittee on Executive Reorganization Studying Urban Decay. It was decided that King should make some statement opposing the U. S. policy in Vietnam. Because of the extreme importance of the Levison- King tie to the civil rights movement and communist influences therein, plus the demonstrated past value of this source, its continuation for another 90 days is recommended. It is noted that specific authority for the continuation of this tesur was last justified to the Attorney General by memorandum dated July 5, 1966, pe. 7 -4- “ae er oT TOTNES A ET STAR DE GOT BARRIO TENA Eb UN Ie eR Bw NY EE ORM TI AE EET OT TOE og
