Jones to Bishop Memo RE: REQUEST FROM SENATOR STROM THURMOND'S OFFICE bé bc retained was_that of Arnold, Fortas and Palmer at Washington, D. C. a According , Fortas was the type of individual who had influence in Government circles regardless of what administration was in power and that Fortas had obtained for him a mailing permit for Rogue” magazine. No mention was made in this interview of any fee to Fortas for his legal services, nor was any such information found in other logical files. OBSERVATIONS: It would appear that Senator Thurmond is attempting to assemble ammunition to use in opposing the Fortas nomination as Chief Justice to the Supreme Court. It appears prudent that we not become involved with any such opposition. ké RECOMMENDATION: BIC ] That someone from your (Mr. Bishop's) Office telephonically advise the Senator, through his Assistan| that we cannot be of any assistance and that he should direct his inquiry to the Department of Justice.
