Memorandum to Mr. E. S. MillerRe: Jack N. Anderson, White Ho~se Leaks

While we have fib Way bf kfibWifig if Welafider WaS actuallyinvolved in leaks to Anderson, his transfer to sea duty, as describedby Anderson, was a matter between Admiral Welander and his superiors.Anderson, the scavenger, has chosen to publicize the matter, givingsubstance to the accusation. If Admiral Welander's career is ruined,it has been ruined by Anderson, and certainly not by the FBI, which wasnot even aware of Welander's assignment in the Navy.

ACTION:

This is in response to the Director's inquiry.

Mr. Mitchell is incensed at these charges by Anderson and stated ~that he had specifically;',disqualified h,limself from any involvement in Justice ~Department considerations of this anti-trust suit inasmuch as it is a well-knowncfact that his law firm h~d ITT as a client. He stated further that Mr. Kleindiensthad not made any concessions to ITT and he recommended to Mr. Kleindienstthat he, request the opportunity to reappear before the Senate Judiciary Committe,to deny the substance oJ these allegations.

/TO

On the 10 o'clock news on 3-4-72 over WTTG-TV,Channel 5, the newscasters were discussing the protestsby Indians in Omaha, Nebraska. Jack Anderson was intro-duced as having a comment on the Bureau of Indian Affairs.Much to the newscaster~ surprise, Anderson, who wasobviously prerecorded, took off on the Director.

Anderson alleged that former Attorney GeneralJohn N. Mitchell, acting Attorney General Richard G.Kleindienst, and President Nixon all privately acknowledgedthat they would like to get rid of the Director but intheir public statements give support to the Director. Hesaid that in order to allay some of the rumors concerninghis views of the Director, President Nixon invited theDirector to Key Biscayne, Florida. Anderson repeated theold canard that the Director used FBI files to "whip"members of Congress into line and that FBI employees hadabsolutely no· rights and their employment was at the whimof the Director. Anderson concluded by stating that neveragain should one man be allowed to gain as much power asthe Director has.

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide moredetailed information concerning the statements of Jack Andersonin his column on 3/15/72, which were taken out of context froma Study prepared by the Administrative Office of the U. S.Courts. Anderson, by quoting selected figures, -created theillusion that there has been a drop in convictions in certainmajor crime categories between Fiscal 1968 and Fiscal 1971.Anderson did not mention the FBI, although eight of the 17violations mentioned by him are investigated by the FBI.'

·SlJBjEGT:

An analysis of the StUdy he has quoted has revealedthat figures from the same pages involVing ~BI violations on ~which Anderson based his article clearly reflect substantial ~increases in persons 'convicted, ranging from 24% in ttnterstate . ~)Transportation of Stolen Property), cases to 246% in. (BondDefault) cases. One of the violations referred to by Anderson(Interstate Transportation of Stolen Motor Vehicle) has showna decrease in numbers of persons convicted. This decrease isdirectly attributable to the restrictive Departmental prosecutivepolicy in this category initiated in March, 1970. Decreasesin this category have frequently been brought to the attentionof the Department by the Bureau.

Although Anderson accurately quotes figures from theStUdy, he, in keeping with his character, has chosen to ignorethe substantial increases in the number of persons actuallyconvicted. In attempting to cast the current Administration inan unfavorable light, he has deliberately omitted mitigatingfactors which have caused a reduction in the conviction ratepercentage. These include increased appeals, fewer guilty'pleas,backlogs in U. S. District Courts, and delays prompted byprovisions of Criminal Justice 'Act of 1964. Anderson, aspreviously noted, limited his article to the convictionpercentage rat~ However, in the details of his.ar~icle heinterchanges the terms, conviction rat~~nnV1ct.10nS. Thi,Sr

These·········are·········the···exact figures which were available to Anderson in the Studyand represent a 59% increase in Bank Robbery convictions.

In summary, Anderson has taken the figures from theStudy showing a decrease in the percentage of persons convictedwho were charged with certain Feder,al violations, and omitted anycomment concerning the significant increase in persons convictedfor these violations. In so doing, he has misled the public bycreating false impressions concerning the Government's effortsagainst crime.

ACTION: Attached for approval are appropriate letters toActing Attorney General and Honorable John D. Ehrlichman,enclosing a letterhead memorandum summarizing Anderson's column.
