Form DJ-150 Ed.4-26-65 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT EPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Memorandum TO : Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation DATE: April 12, 1968 FMV:JCK:gmf 123-66 FROM Fred M. Vinson, Jr. so Assistant Attorney General Mr.Lsach. Criminal Division Mr. Mohr. Mr. Bishop Mr. Casper. SUBJECT: Irving Resnick Mr.~Callahan ITAR - Extortion Mr. Conrp 18 U.S.C. 1952 Mr. Felt Mr. Gan MrRCen Mr. Sullivan We have been advised that one. Mr. Tavel. Mr. Trotter. has been in touch with the Bureau in St. Louis, Missouri Tele. Room. with respect to the attempts by Irving Resnick of Caesar's. Miss Holmes Palace. Las Vegas, to collect a $2, 00o "marker" from. Miss Gandy It is our understanding that that he was unable to pay and that Resnick informed him that "We want our money," that "we haye other means of getting. the money, " and instructed to call him back. While the conversations described are probably insuf- b7C ficient of themselves to constitute a violation of 18 U.S. C.. b7D 1952, nonetheless we feel that subsequent conversations which are presently contemplated may be significant from. a prosecution standpoint. Therefore, we request that representatives of the Bureau listen on an extension telephone. at the time that places his call to Resnick. This, of. course, should be done only if continues in his will- ingness to have the Bureau listen in.. It would be most helpful from a standpoint of voice. identification if any subsequent conversations between and Resnick were recorded. Accordingly, it is requested. that the Bureau take steps so that any further conversations can be recorded. 3709 REC 27 EX-105 1ARIG1968
