I, therefore, believe it highly advisable thet some "punch" ehoulc be put into this inquiry until we definitely esteb- ‘lish the = rticipetion in the shocting on the pert of these new auspects, . I believe thet we should then issue, immediately, identification orders on each of them and thet such omers should be distributed throughtout the United St: tes before 'r,Renpert has tie onrortunity for another "“oratorical j blest™. It is cy opinion that Special Agent Trainor has not sufficient ad- ‘ '§ ministrative ability to supervise this case, It is my understanding that : his orizinel assignment was more or less in the neture of a reccrding secre- tary te receive end marstel the information obtainec during these hectic dzys of our initisl inquiries, It is, therefore, my recormendation that the following up of these new leads be anecificelly assigned to two or three men with orders to 22 ncthine else, I believe that Speciel Agents Andersen, Kichols, and Farland woulc be approrriete fer this purpese, with one of then designated in charge of it and with Trainor acting as recorded, uncer in- structions not to atten t tc sunervise the develornent of the case and to per- mit free eccess to the existing file to any one of these three men. wet Very truly yours, SEE: TC Svecial agent in Charge.
