                               LIST-OF BUREAU GRIEVANCES



            1.  ATTACKS AGAINST BUREAU '(MEXICO CITY AND FRANCE - 1951)

                      Although Agent Papich did not begin handling Liaison
            with CIA until 1952, *it is important to refer to highly signi-
            ficant differences with CIA which culminated in a serious
            conflict in the Fall of 1951.  Our Legal Attaches in Mekico City
            and Paris reported that CIA representatives were attacking the
            Bureau, were endeavoring to place us in an unfavorable light,
            were questioning our jurisdiction, and were making disparaging
            remarks concerning the Bureau.  Some of this was summed up by
            characterizing it as covert hostility within CIA, stemming
            largely from disgruntled former employees of the FBI.

                      In October, 1951, General Walter Beddi'l Smith, then
            Director of CIA, asked to meet with the Director and other
            Bureau representatives for the purpose of discussing the
            existing differences.  General Smith denied that there was any
            ve-t   hostility against the Bureau and maintained that there
            was a general feeling of respect  for us. He admitted that
            there had been isolated instances of friction  for which CIA
            must accept -its share of responsibility.

                      It is my recollection  that the Director and other
            Bureau officials did meet with General Smith,  at which time
    t2 ~    guidelines were set forth for maintaihing future  relations
            between the two agencies.   I was not able to find a memorandum
            of record covering  this meeting. (62-80750-1712, 1715, 1716,
            1726, 1728, 1748, 1750)

            2.  PROSELYTING OF BUREAU PERSONNEL  BY CIA

                      The Agent  clearly recalls that early in the 1950's
            ire encountered difficulties with CIA because the Agency allegedly
            was recruiting Bureau-employed  personnel.  We vigorously pro-
            tested,and  subsequently, the Agency advised that it would follow
            a policy of  not having any contact with a Bureau employee until
            the individual had  been separated from the Bureau for a period
            of at least  thirty days.  The Agent could not locate the back-
            ground of  this matter in the files reviewed by him.  It is pos-
            sible  that the pertinent information lies in the personnel file
            of some  former Bureau Agent.
