                 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
                                        03
                 SUBJECT: Thomas L. Roberts



                       1.  On  25 March  1969, a meeting took place in Mr.  Warner's
                 office attended by Messrs.  Milligan and Heinonen of CCS4LP)LOBE,
                 Mr.  Jack Geaslin,  Chief, European Division/France,  Mr.  Warner
                 and the undersigned,  to discuss the ramifications of Thomas L. 03
                 Roberts Lssignment   to Paris.

                       2.  Mr.  Warner  began  he meeting by  giving Mr. Geaslin a
                 chronology covering  (a)  oberts) relationship with Itkin, (b) Itkin's
                 relationship with CIA, (c) Itkin's relationship with the FBI, (d) Itkin's
                 indictment in the New  York State court, (e) Itkin's potential use as
                 a witness for the prosecution in the federal court against organized
                 criminals, and  (f) the Itkin involvement with F. Lee Bailey and the
                 possible publicity attendant thereto.

                       3.  It was then explained that following a meeting with Messrs.
                 Hogan,  Morgenthau,  Kossack  and Houston, it was agreed that Itkin
                 would plead guilty to two misdemeanors  in the New  York State court
                 and receive a  suspended sentence.  In return, the State of New York
                 would withdraw  its motion to remand Itkin for trial currently pending
                 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
                 York.   These maneuvers   would result in Itkin's being available for
                 use as a  Government  witness in future cases and his credibility not
                 being subject to attack by the future defendants based on his New
                 York  State trial. Mr. Warner  further explained that this latest
                 development  would appear to have taken the heat off and removed
                 the need for involving CIA and possibly exposing(Roberts) affiliation
                 to CIA.  It was further explained that there had been indications that
                 Morgenthau's  office and the FBI were attempting to inflate Itkints
                 past affiliations with CIA in an attempt to demonstrate his dedication
                 and to remove  the aspect of criminal intent. It had also been
