SUaJECTXpLATIONS WITH CENTRAL

          Reference my memorandum 3/30/70 summarizing proposals of
CIA Director Helms  regarding FBI-CIA coordination in intelligence collection
activities. Director approved meetings between CIA and Bureau tepresenta-


tives to further explore these matters.

          On afternoon of 4/13/70, Inspector D. E. Moore and myself met
briefly with, Mr. James Angleton, Chief, Counterintelligence Staff, CIA,
and Mr.  W. Scott Miler of his staff. This session was strictly exjiloratory
in nature and was aimed at defining the scope and limitations of our
discussions with CIA on the points in question. Angleton noted that CIA
Director tieims will be closely fUllwing LU Utchmie Of these discu cnz
and is personally interested in resolving any current problems in s area.

          Mr.  Angleton indicated that C A would like to direct initial attention
to two of the itemd cited by Helms, namely, the question of audio (electronic
surveillance) coverage and the suggestion that FBI and CIA specialists in the
communist  bloc field hold periodic seminars to coordinate our information.
The  Bureau's position regarding electronic surveillance coverage, as
outlined in the Director's letter to Helms of,3/31/70, was reitereated with
emphasis  upon the problems such coverage often pose with regard to
prosecution as well as adverse public reaction to this type coverage.

           * I made the point that the Bureau has not received the necessary
 ( support in this area from responsible quarters; that in the past the Bureau
 had  a substantial amount of coverage of this type in the interest of both our
 own   counterintelligence responsibilities as well as the national security*
 interest but that we haVe had to retrench in recent years largely as a result
 of  the lack of support for such operations.

            Angleton noted that in respsnae to CIA's request for electronic
  coverage  of twd Indian nationals who were suspected KGB agents in the Fall
  of 19 69, the Bureau had reque   that the take tj  tgLuap   vith the
