             MEMORANDUM FOR        Chief, Security Research Staff

             SUBJECT
                                   (Conversation with 8 June 1965,
                                   Washington, D.C.)


                    1.  On 8 June 1965, the writer met with Mr. Kennedy atThe Hilton
             Hotel, Wa hington, and had a long discussion with him beginning at approxi-
             mately 1:15 and ending at 5 p.m.             jcomments  covered a wide
             range of matters, but basically they can be broken down into 3 main topics L

                    (a)  His attitude towards the FBI;

                    (b


                    (c)  Comments on the Negro Civil Rights Movement, the various
                        personalities connected with it, and some of Mr. Kennedy' s
                        opinions and theories regarding future events connected
                        with the Civil Rights Movement.

             Each of the above will be discussed separately.


             Mr. Kennedy's attitude towards the FBI

                   2.   Sometime back, Chief, SRS, decided that it would be advantageous
            to have             give information, particularly regarding the Civil Rights
            Movement, to agents of the FBI in New York City, particularly if this infor-
            mation concerned domestic or local events and activities. Chief, SRS, felt
            that it would be a faster means of communication than heretofore used where-
            in [7 communicated with SRS officers who, in turn, passed the in-
            form   on to either the FBI or areas where it was useful.

                   3.           imade   it very clear that he did not wish to comuni-
             cate with FBI agents, that the Civil Rights Movement should be regarded as
             an international situation because of the Communist directed infiltration
             into the movement, and that he felt in some respects that he was being
             downgraded by being used .; ?  qce  by the FBI and not in a higher echelon.
