           Memorandum

   To    :  Mr. C. D. DeLoach                DATE: 3/6/70


   FROM     W. C, Sullivan


   SUBJECT: RELATIONSHIPS WITH CENTRAL
            INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (CIA)
            CIA REQUEST FOR BUREAU LECTURE
            ON COMMUNISM IN THE U, S,

                  Item Number 15 in the material submitted to the Director
        by SA Sam Papich in his memorandum 3/5/70 discusses the Director's
        refusal of a 1958 CIA request for   ,4/A1            to lecture
        on communism before a CIA group.  Papich stated that CIA accepted
        this as an affront and a blatant refusal to cooperate on a most
        important subject of interest to both agencies.

                  The files disclose that by letter.9/25/58 signed  by
           )AANG      , CIA requested   IvAME      to address a  selected
        group of CIA personnel on the communist movement in the U.  S.
        CIA suggested dates of 12/9,10,or 11/58.  The Director by  routing
        slip attached to  MA-tS     letter commented, It seems  strange
        that CIA should seek this when its top representative  ini
        considers FBI as a bunch of mere  'flat-feet' and the dangers
        of communism as something conjured up in the minds of  the FBI.
        But then again I note request doesn't come' from the Director
        nor even the Deputy Director of CIA.

                  Memorandum    PA-16       to  A4MI       dated 10/1/58
        made reference 'to CIA's request arfd the Director's comments. It
        recommended that <the best interests of the Bureau would be served
        by giving this lecture, not because of  the information which
        could be conveyed to CIA on communism  in the U. S., but because
        it would give  NAhfd   an opportunity  to raise a number of
        questions himself of the group concerning  CIA's own activities
        in the field of communism.  It was pointed  out that it could be
        considered a bit of a challenge to  see how much the FBI could
        learn about the operation of CIA  during the course of the lecture
        and discussion rather than the converse.  bA-i        recommended
        that the request be declined and  the Director concurred commenting,
        We cannot make   -AM6   available  to this outfit.

                                                     Unauthorized Disclosure
                                                     Subject to Criminal Sanctions.
