            MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

            SUBJECT:   Chomas   L.  Roberts                  Bckground se Only
                                                              Do Not Reproduce


                  1.  On 27 March  1969, Mr.  Sam  Papich, FBI  Liaison,
            advised Mr.  Houston that the FBI office in New York stated that
            Herbert Itkin was reluctant to make a guilty plea in the two mis-
            demeanor  cases pending before the New  York State court.  It was
            the opinion of the FBI agents that Itkin could be persuaded to
            accept this course of action but was merely negotiating at this
            time for federal assistance in the custody hearing in the family
            court in Westchester County.  Mr.  Papich also stated that a
            hearing was anticipated on the custody question, and Itkin at this
            point was suggesting that CIA's name be interjected into the
            hearing to bolster his stature with the court.

                 2.  We  have not been advised that the State of New York has
            withdrawn its motion to remand from  the United States District
            Court for the Southern District of New York, nor has any date
            been set for Itkin to appear before the New York State court.

              O  3.  Mr.  Kenneth Heinonen  on 1 April 1969 called to advise
            that Cjhomas L. Roberts) mother had  suffered a massive heart
            attack and was in a coma in a Boston  hospital.03 aobert)had been
            advised of his mother's illness and was scheduled to arrive in
            Boston on the afternoon of 1 April. I explained to Mr. Heinonen
            the latest development with regard to Itkin's reluctance to accept
            the agreed solution worked out between Messrs. Morgenthau  and
            Hogan.  I also suggested to Mr. Heinonen  that, while (Boberts>)
            was not likely to be subpoenaed at this 0tme to appear in any New
            York litigation, it would be advisable for (toberts)to stay away
            from New  York so that his name  would not be reintroduced into
            the Itkin case.
