Ferrie. died 2/22/67. By memorandum dated 2/24/67, we informed the Attorney General we had no objection if the Department made these 55 pages of our report relating to Ferrie available to the public, but pointed out that the final decision as to public disclosure of such material rests with the Department of Justice. The reason these 55 pages were originally withheld from the public domain was becuhse

, they contained data showing Ferric was a hoMosexual. Following • Ferrie's death, the news media carried numerous articles reporting 0 Ferric was a homosexual and accordingly, we told the Department

Memorandum Branigan to Sullivan

Re: ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY

62-109060

By memorandum dated 8/10/65 entitled "Public '

Disclosure of Warren Commission Records," we furnished the

Department a list of. FBI documents that we had reviewed in

accordance with Departmental instructions. We listed those

documents which could or could not be placed in the public

domain under the guidelines set by Mr. Bundy. Included in

our list was Commission Document Number 75, and we specifically

pointed out to the Department the exact pages that required .

exclusion from the public domain and the guidelines which

dictated such exclusion. Ve also told the Department that

the final decision as to public disclosure of the material

in question rests with the Department of Justice.

DEPARTMENT'S REQUEST FOR FBI INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS: In his

letter dated 17/57677fhe AttoiliTi7Deneral requested copies of

fall FBI investigative reports which related to the investigation

I now being conducted by New Orleans District Attorney Garrison

or to any alleged New Orleans area plot to assassinate President

Kennedy. The Department stated it did pot desire to be

furnished Commission Document Number 75 or memoranda beginning

about 2/20/67 relating data concerning Garrison's investigation.

The day-to-day developments of the investigation of Garrison

;which comes to our attention through our sources has been

l imkediately made available to the Department. Tie wil

l continue

to make such dissemination. The request el-the Attorney

General'to be furnished all FBI reports relating to any alleged

New Orleans area plot to assassinate President Kennedy is a

sweeping request. Throughout our investigation, we received

a tremendous number of allegations of plots by pro-Castro

Cubans, anti-Castro Cubans, left wing elements, ultra-right

elements and the like. To pinpoint each investigative report

concerning such allegations will necessitate a serial by serial

I

file review. The New Orleans Office can best handle such

review, since all data concerning such plots are contained in

New Orleans files regarding the assassination case and the

Lee Harvey Oswald case. .

ACTION:. 1. Attached is a memorandum to the

Attorney General

referring him to our letter of 8/10/65 and the list attached

thereto which set out the pages to be excluded from the public

domain in accordance with guidelines established by Mr. McGeorge

Bundy, former Special Assistant to the President. We are

informing the Attorney General that the final decision as to

..public disclosure of the material in question presently excluded

in Commission Document Number 75 rests with the Department of

Justice. We are also informing the Attorney General we are

To recommend airtel to the field furnishing additional instructions as to the manner information received concerning the assassination of President Kennedy should be handled.

BACKGROUND:

IIy airtel dated 2/24/67, all offices were instructed to accept any information furnished relating to District Attorney Garrison's investi-

gation; to advise the Bureau promptly of data received, but that no active

investigation was to be conducted. In addition, this airtel instructed that

no comments concerning Garrison's investigation should be made and

this matter was not to be discussed outside the Bureau.

•

There has been widespread publicity concerning Garrison's •activities in New Orleans and, as a result, we are receiving voluminous information concerning speculation and rumors regarding the assassination. Such information, even though having no apparent connection to developments

in New Orleans, should be completely evaluated at the Bureau prior to conducting further inquiries. Accordingly, attached for approval is an airtel to all SACs, instructing that we should continue to accept any information concerning the assassination; however, no investigation is to

be conducted without first obtaining Bureau authorization.

In addition, field is being instructed to submit the same day data received a letterhead memorandum containing the pertinent information

which can be used for dissemination purposes. In addition, this airtel instructs the field to advise the Bureau by either telephone or teletype of

any pertinent information received or data which by necessity should be linniediately investigated. ,
