LA 92-1039 Also in connection with this matter, the Newark Division in October, 1959, by airtel dated 10/28/59, viston, AR., advised that b7c at the Claridge Hotel, had been b7D assigned to the SINATRA party from 7/25 - 8/2/59 and had identified the photograph of SAM GIANCANA as closely resembling Jan individual visiting the SINATRA party on two or three — occasions. It would appear from the discussion with MC MILLAN mentioned earlier and from his proposed plan of attack, that it appeared violation in this area has been overlooked. It is felt that Mr. SHERIDAN when reviewing the file will wy ononte then Ataamananatr undoubtedly novwtne Miu Se PCTEL petween the affidavit and information attributed to FBI reports. It is believed that he will then ask the FBI to conduct certain investigation in order to resolve the matter. There are several courses of action that appear to be appropriate at this time, that is: 1. Point out the affidavit to Mr. SHERIDAN and th e e possible violation as set forth in FBT reports and secur a prose- cutive opinion prior to any investigation. 2. Advise Mr. SHERIDAN of this material and indicate to him the identity of witnesses who could possibly substantiate any violation and let IRS, Intelligence handie the matter. It is recommended by the Los Angeles Division that this matter be pointed out to Mr..SHERIDAN, secure his opinion as to prosecutive possibilities and have him contact the department for clearance to investigate and the FBI do the investigating. This course is recommended on the grounds that SINATRA at the present time is under heavy pressure from the authorities at Las Vegas regarding his association with GIANCANA and if investigation is warranted it would mean that a Grand Jury could possibly be convened at Los Angeles and GIANCANA, JOSEPH FISCHETTI and other personalities present at the 1959 meeting could be brought before the Grand Jury in this area. The Bureau is requested to advise as expeditiously as possible in this matter. -t- [SG
