Faly 22, 1974. Mr. Sjazence Kelly ctor FBI, netes; BD. ¢. Mr, Keliyt , good cheer Mr. Director, the people of the country knor that the SLA bas not as yet cutwitted the FBI. In the persons ef William and Boily Harris and Patrieia Hearst they arrived in the Chicago area en or about June 2nd, 1OTK. They were driving the slant (hatch) back car pictured in the paper some tise ago, I believe. They ate lunch at the same place I did on that date. While I was unsure of my thinking at that time, I now know from farther observations and ehecks that ay Suspicions are accurate enowgh for yor to have your pen check out what I say. I believe I can tel] your men ; considerable about the groap, where they are and occassionally eat, ~~ hos they dress, act ete., etc,, Also about ethers that may be connected — th then, I of course know that these people are killers (SIA) so my anonynity te eo mast. Being an informer gives me concerns, because of the possibility of my name being learned and of my becoming the target of the SLA, their friends and relatives and other eranks. I want to stay alive and dont want my house riddled with machine gun bullets. Therefor I wish to stay @nonymous as far as all my eontacte with your agents are concerned, Contacts will be bandled ina manner which will make it unnecessary for then to know my name, address, telephones wamber, or anything -dlse about me. For the present , I am to be known only as JOSEPH, to you azd your agents. I will indicate that I am JOSEPH. I will need your assistance and maybe protection later on at which time I will reveal my identity to yor and thone necessary. Now about myself, I am an exservice man (Staff Sergeant, Firet Sergeant) and a retired Federal employee. Since I was in a sensitive position the FBI checked me cut very thoroughly, and completed reports on me during the last war, I have worked with some of your people in the eentral states. Investigatory work was part ef my job, for I deat with lew breakers as you do, handling the matters through the soarts. My wife and I bave heart prohlews bat I am stil] active.and able to work thru this contaet with you. Identification, I will expect the agents to call me JOSEPH, give ne their usual businese card and show me their government identification, They are not to atteuwpt to leara my name, where I live, my aeto plate license masber or anything else about me, nor involve me through the polie @ #0 inform then. I am acquainted with many of our local police who know and leak my nome, Since this is an FBI case, I have said ng to anyone abont it, thinking it best to contact yor to pick up meabers. I would appreciate you instracting the Chicago Offiee Director to prepare a letter or identification card saying "the bearer { of thi @ is JOSEPH , who ie working with us on a certain case" ete, pat in @ eesled envelope and give it to the agent who is sesigned to contact me, he in turn is to be instracted to give the letter to me, to wee as my identification to your agents.
