Are they notified by the bank, or is he notified sub- oquentiy’ by the FBIt Apams, No. We do get subpenas in many cases, not warrants, but we do get subpenas in many cases, but in some cases a bank will make available to us records without subpena. When it comes time for utilizing that information we do issue a eubpena for the information. Senator Towzr. De you have legal authority to gain accees to these records! Mr, Avame. Yes, sir, we do, Senator Towrr. Without a subpena, without a court document? Mr. Apams. There is no law that I know of that forbids us access. There have been several court decisions, including some circuit courts that disagree with each other, but I think the current finding is that the bank records are the records of the bank and this does not violate any first amendment or other amendments in connection with it.

We are going to try to conclude this morning because the committee has a hearing, a business meeting at 2 o'clock this afternoon and for the information of the members, that meeting will take place in room 3110 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. And while TI am making announcements, I think I should say that tomorrow between the hours of 9 o'clock in the morning and 1 o’clock in the afternoon, the committee will report its findings and make its recommendations to the Senate in connection with our in- vestigation into alleged involvement of the United States in certain assassination plots, and attempts directed against foreign leaders. ‘The committee, as you know, has made an exhaustive investigation of this issue. It has taken some 6 months, 75 witnesses have been inter- rogated, over 8,000 pages of testimony have been taken, mountains of documents have been analyzed and digested, and the report will be a detailed accounting to the American people of that evidence, together with the findings and recommendations of the committee. Initially these disclosures will be made to the Senate in secret session, after which the renort will be made public as previously approved by committee vote. Therefore, it is anticipated that at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon in this room. the caucus room. following that secret session of the Senate, the committee will meet with the press for the purpose of answering such questions as the press may wish to address to the committee on the assassination report. Now, the last few questions I would like te put to vou, Mr. Adama, have to do with some confusion in my mind concerning the purnose of the FBI in monitoring the women’s liberation movement.
