                 TO        Director, DCS                                    DATE: 7 February 1968
                 Attn  :   John W. McConnell

                 FROM  :   Chief, Seattle Office


                 SUBJECT:  Alleged Anti-CIA Comments made by Priests at Seattle University

                 REF Denver memorandum DEN-51-68, dated 1 February -1968, with attachment




                                1.  You will find attached a copy of a Memorandum for the Record
                           dated 31 January 1968 and written by Don Jordan of the Denver Office.
                           The text of the memorandum.needs no further explanation.

                                2.  I made a cursory check with local sources who were unable to
                           confirm or deny the allegations made by Mrs. Margaret Fanning, mother
                           of Miss Clare Louise Fanning who is currently a student at Seattle
                           University.  Since the matter is not cxactly in our ken and might be
                           of interest to the FBI I made a digest of the original memorandum and
                           gave a copy to the Seattle FBI Office. A copy of.the digest was also
                           given toMr.                 CIA 01S, Seattle Resident Agent.  A copy
                           of the digest is attached. SeattleFBI  Office said that they probably
                           will not take any action but would pass the information along to their
                           headquarters in Washington DC.  In all probability the information
                           will be attributed to the        Field Office.

                                3.  I made a further check with Colonel Michael 3. Dolan, Place-
                           ment Officer, Seattle University, to determine if he had heard ar.ything
                           about the subject matter on the campus. Colonel Dolan works with Mr.
                                             CIA, OP/RD.  Mr. E    j  says that Colonel Dolan
                           can be trusted to be discreet in any dealings that we might have with
                           him. Colonel Dolan was unable to give me any information of a sub-
                           stantive naturd regarding Subject but stated that Miss Fanning is
                           having academic problems and her grade point has gone down steadily
                           since enrollment at Seattle University. Her present courses are all
                           taught by laymen so if she has any contact with the Jesuit priests the
                           contact would be outside of the classroom. It was Colonel Dolan's
                           opinion that the university administration would be very interested in
                           running down information of the nature outlined by Mrs. Fanning.
                           Colonel Dolan has stated he will make some discreet inquiries without
                           implicating either Mrs. or Miss Fanning.
