.2F   :   Denver memorandum DEN-51-68, dated 1 February 1968, with attachment




               1.  You will find attached a copy of a Memorandum for the Record
          dated 31 January 1968 and written by Don Jordan of the Denver Office.
          The text of the memorandum needs no further explanation.

               2.  I made a cursory check with local sources who were unable to
          confirm or deny the allegations made by Mrs. Margaret Fanning, mother
          of Miss Clare Louise Fanning who is currently a student at Seattle
          University.  Since the matter is not exactly in our ken and might be
          of interest to the FBI I made a digest of the original memorandum and
          gave a copy to the Seattle FBI Office. A copy of the digest was also
          given to Mr.QWilliam Barru ) CIA O/S, Seattle Resident Agent. A copy
          of the digest is attached.  Seattle FBI Office said that they probably
          will not take any action but would pass the information along to their
          headquarters in Washington DC.  In all probability the information
          will be attributed to the Seattle Field Office.

               3.  I made a further check with Colonel Michael J. Dolan, Place-
          ment Officer, Seattle University, to determine if he had heard anything
          about the subject matter on the campus. Colonel Dolan works with Mr.
          Thomas L. Culhane, CIA, OP/RD. Mr. Culhane says that Colonel Dolan
          can be trusted to be discreet in any dealings that we might have with
          him.  Colonel Dolan was unable to give me any information of a sub-
          stantive nature regarding Subject but stated that Miss Fanning is
          having academic problems and her grade point has gone down steadily
          since enrollment at Seattle University.. Her present courses are all
          taught by laymen so if she has any contact with the Jesuit priests the
          contact would be outside of the classroom. It was Colonel Dolan's
          opinion that the university administration would be very interested in
          running down information of the nature outlined by Mrs. Fanning.
          Colonel Dolan has stated he will make some discreet inquiries without
          implicating either Mrs. or Miss Fanning.
