Cut this out! You are acting like a& bunch of chintzy politicians! It is not you; job to police the ‘4 good morals of the country.

Jv. over, and histcoy will increasingly show that King will grow in stature for his accomplishments, while Hoover will be increasingly overlooked and forgotten. You should not follow Hoover's foot steps. Clean house of the cheap activity and you will help your own image and that of the FBI. Let the motto be: No more halitosis: ai-! 1S¢ fe Yours, [ vs \a NOT RECORDED Ul oF _ \ 4 sun 11 82. f- 7) woN
