d hae ALL Ce of EOUTAINED J DATES he BY Soomealcat July 12, 1976 MEMORANDUM FOR MR. JENKINS Re: To be discussed at Associate ee! Director's Conference this date I mentioned my distress to you last weak. I mention it again and with force because of a4 comment reportedly made by Ed Miller over the weekend. It appears he feels that I possibly was informed of the burglaries given wide coverage in the last few days. Admittedly the account indicates the notice was oblique and that I may not have recognized its relevancy. In other words, I chose to ignore its implications or I was unable to distinguish its inferences for an unknogm reason. Ed Miller has not explained what he meant, and I therefore, must believe he was correctly quoted and can only speculate what he meant. Lest there be any question in anyone's mind about my position in this matter, I want to set out certain things. Until March, 1976, I had never been informed of these domestic surreptitious entries which took place in recent years, have not authorized a single such act, and know of no inferential, obscure, of otherwide "back door" reference to the existence af such or, on the other hand, unsolicited and solicted comments from knov ledgeable Bureau &uthorities to the effect there was none were made on numerous occasions. It appears my denial of burglaries of recent vintage were made with , the knowledge by some F'BI employees that I epoke in error. No one stepped _-. forward to advise me of my error. I am inclined to believe there may be an % effort to shift the responsibility for these allegations in some manner despite _ ne total absence of any notification. I have never shunned responsibility 4.o.- properly vested in me. I will, however, where there is a purpose of evacing 2 sn q@uipabllity or a desire to share it by unfair innuendoes. Such an effort is Fin s rtotally unfair and I will vigorously resist it. I sincerely hope my fears are ieee a ye] fo. ad “6%, Pe Latcrotery . ! ae, Lf toy cf D Qe ee i ae CCK ‘EDM (3) c a 73 I Fe tn {Dictated over phone by Director) DAP » pes Lisa B JUL 23 1976 { Nee Pag goo™ C7 TELETYPE UNIT C_] { FBISO OJ
