TRANSCRIPT:
Yes?
J Edgar Hoover on 2-1-9-2
Are you familiar with this proposed group that they tried to put together on this study of your report and other things to from the House to the Senate?
Somebody in the court, a couple of outsiders?
No, I haven’t heard of that.
I’ve seen the reports on this, on the Senate investigating committee that they’ve been talking about.
Well we think if we don’t have
I want to get just with your file in your report
Well, the only way we can stop them is probably
to appoint a high level one to evaluate a report
and put somebody that’s pretty good on it from the documents
and let it out of the government and tell the
House and Senate not to go ahead with the investigation.
Yes,
Because they get up there and get a bunch of television going.
And I thought it’d be bad.
It’d be a three ring circus.
What do you think about Dulles?
I think he would be a good man.
What do you think about John McCloy?
Uh, I’m not as enthusiastic about. About McCloy.
I knew him back in the Patterson when Patterson’s down as secretary thing.
