(~ — f Abbott Howard Hoffman Jack Anderson: FBI agent can get into a lot of trouble if his sideburns are too long, if he has sweaty. palms, if his hair isn't cut just properly and if his coat is off or not properly buttoned, Abbie Hoffman: There must be some struggle going on and,within the FBI. Do you get much information right from within the bowels of the Bureau itself? Jack Anderson: That's appropriate...yeah there's no question about it. I would say though, to give you a serious answer, that two or three years ago we couldn't have broken in, we couldn't have cracked that ring, Security is pretty tight, but today it's a shambles, Today morabis low, agents are frustrated, everyone's talking. Abbie Hoffman: I was intrigued by the first letter that IT got from him and the kind of language he used was (unintelligible) Washington as the Seat of Government, the Central Government in that kind of how much 19th Century language, Jack Anderson: Well, he's basically a Washington creature. He's basically a Bureaucrat. His skill is (unintelligible) in law enforcement than it is mastering the bureaucratic maze, bbe bureaucratic jungle. He knows his way around in the ungle, Abbie Hoffman: Did you see the President's Analyst? What di o esi think of the portrayal of tne CIA agents as opposed t portrayal of the FBI agents?
