Memo Legal Counsel to the Director Re: Surreptitious Entries said that if that were the Director's position the Attorney General would consider a memorandum from the Director expressing his desire to conduct the necessary investigation and stating that he intends to order such investigation unless directed not to do so by the Attorney General. The Attorney General made clear that the decision whether such a request should be made by the Director lies solely within the discretion of the Director. I told the Attorney General I would bring these matters to your attention and I was confident that he would have a response from you shortly. The Attorney General said that he had discussed the possibility of the Director ordering an investigation for administrative purposes but the Director had told him that it was difficult to undertake investigations based on rumors. The Attorney General said he understood that but that he would like to make a Specific point that the FBI should have a method of inspecting offices that would identify such problems so that there would be no need for the Director to rely upon rumors. RECOMMENDATION: That you send the attached proposed memorandum to the Attorney General requesting his concurrence in your decision to order an investigation for purposes of administrative action concerning surreptitious entries.
