cin An ee €D-302 MEV, 11-27-70: ¢ ( ~ FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION & - 4 Gete of wonscriphor, *: - a Robert B. Marsden, Printing and Space Management Section, i Administrative Services Division, advised that he was in charge of es assigning manpower to move the contents from the office suite of former fs Director J. Edgar Hoover shortly after Mr. Hoover's death, May 2, 1972, 2 and for the storage of these items. The contents of the suite were moved 43 either to Mr. Hoover's residence or to FBI storage space in a warehouse Pel on Taylor Street in the District of Cohimbia. He exercised no judgment me in determining which items would go to which location, but it was his st general recollection that the boxes were marked for delivery to either 4 Mr. Hoover's house or Taylor Street and employees made the deliveries aA as instructed. He is not aware of any items being misdirected to either i place and has no knowledge that any boxes were ever delivered to Mr. Hoover's house and subsequently transferred to any FBI storage facility. Marsden recalls that Mr. Hoover's desk and furniture from the conference room as well as 40-50 cartons were placed in storage at the Taylor Street warehouse. Sometime thereafter, believed to be a few months later, concern for the security of these items was expressed by former Associate Director Nicholas P. Callahan to Marsden and it was decided that the items from Hoover's office would be moved from Taylor Street storage to FBI storage in the General Accounting Office (GAO), 5th and H Streets, N.W., where FBI employees were on duty full time. He did not supervise this move, but gave instructions to Anthony A. Codi, . warehouse foreman, to make this transfer. UE) PUTTAR eke pe diner ae aaa Tn PE ¢ . oor . ‘ , Fe * . . Sometime later, perhaps one year, Marsden received a request - from Tom Peyton of the Exhibits Section to move the items from Mr. Hoover's office to the Old Post Office Building, where Peyton was working. on a new tour route for the J. Edgar Hoover Building which was nearing . completion of construction. He does not know the date of this move; - however, James Codi was in charge of storage at the GAO Building and may recall when this move occurred. He does not believe there Was any . record made of the move as work orders were never obtained for work . in the Director's office and work orders are kept for only one year. * ose ‘ a) Inspector John G. bis and ROLY Chan CIPI TRIER LoL oe AIRED ROL TRE BP Heo Naty inte ae ” leg ae ?- . »,____SA Robert P.
