One particular dissemination, the contents of which was not revealed in the files, was apparently initiated and carried out personally by the Director. On Jamuary 22, 1965, the SAC in Atlanta advised Mr. Sullivan that, pursuant to their electronic mrrveillance, the Bureau learmed that King had phoned Ralph Abernathy and complained that Hoover had had a meeting with a particular Atlanta official while in Washington attending the Inauguration. According to King, when this official returned to Atlanta he contacted Dr. King senior and passed on a “good deal” of information. According to Sullivan's mem to Belmont, Dr. King, Jr. was very upset (HQ 100- 106670-768). The files did not reveal any formal proposal for this briefing but Section Chief Baumgardner later speculated that the Atlanta official was Chief of Police Jenkins since the Director had met with him on Jarmary 18, 1965 HQ 100-106670-780). The files do not indicate whether the Director suggested that the information be passed on to Dr. King's father. | -134-
