    "ocrText": "-2-\nK:\nI gave the names of others who had access to classified information.\nBut I never requested formally a tap.\nM:\nThat information went to where - the FBI?\nK:\nTo the FBI. After the policy had been established.\nM:\nI think I'd just sit tight, Henry, and whether we put anything now into\nthe pleadings or the proof, all I want to be sure is that we have room\nto put it in eventually.\nK:\nAll right, then, I'11 send this to you.\nM:\nSend it up SO that we can make sure that when it comes to proof that\nwe can present our proof.\nK:\nBecause one other thing, they implied that I received these conversa-\ntions during the whole period. Actually, I mean for your information,\nI don't know whether we want to get into that - after December '69\nI had myself taken off any distribution list.\nM:\nYeah.\nK:\nAnd after that I didn't know what they did.\nM:\nWell, I don't think that's going to be relevant in this particular action,\nbecause I think the proof is did you have him tapped, what did you do -\nwell, yes, it will be relevant. Well, we'll have to get into all of that.\nAnd just exactly the timing will depend on what they said in this answer.\nK:\nWell in the answer they say that he was overheard from May 169 to\nFebruary '71. I'm responsible, if at all, only from May '69 til\nDecember '69. But I'm not responsible. It was legal at the time,\nanyhow.\nM:\nYou might have your girl clip any press clippings and send to me,\nor references to this matter.\nK:\nOkay. And I'11 send you a copy of that letter from Hoover to me.\nM:\nYes, but I just need the references to you - where you are referred to\nin the clippings.\nK:\nRight. Okay.\nM:\nGood. And I'11 follow it from there.\nK:\nGood. Thank you Carl. Goodbye."
