According to Mr. Coleman, it would therefore be necessary for Agents of the Bureau to obtain access to the original records either by permission of the defendants or by subpoena, if necessary. The e of Mr. Coleman's call was to request permission to have scent n° the Springfield Office attend a conference which 1s to be hela at the Departaent tomorrow, September 27, at which time the various aspects of the case would be discussed.
