        Memorandum

To          DIRECTOR, FBI (92-6054)                DATE:   9/10/64


FROM         AC, MILWAUKEE (92-262)-   P -

SUBJECT:    LA COSA NOSTRA
            AR - CONSPIRACY

                    Re report of SA LEONARD H.  MC COY dated 8/21/64
       at New York, which is a summary pertaining  to membership
       activities, etc. of captioned organization.

                    It will be noted that  the history, leadership and
       membership of the Milwaukee family  of La Cosa Nostra are set
       out'in some detail as furnished by MI  623-C-TE.

                    This is to call attention  to the fact that any
       dissemination of such extensive information  pertaining to so
       small a family as Milwaukee might constitute  a very real threat
       to the security and, therefore, the  life of this informant.
       Since, under their system, only members  of La Cosa Nostra know
       for certain who the other members are,  it would not be difficult
       for the leadership to check the entire membership  for a leak--
       provided it became known or suspected  that such a leak existed.
       For this reason the Milwaukee Office  confines all specific
       information about membership of La  Cosa Nostra to administrative
       pages in reports that go to the USA.   In the event any
       dissemination outside the Bureau is made  of referenced report,
       it is believed that the sections pertaining  to Milwaukee should
       be revised to show a less complete  coverage.
