Mississippi Burning MIBURN Case — Part 1

Memorandum to Mr, Belmont
Re: UNKNOWN SUBJECTS;
MICHAEL HENRY SCHWERNER, ET AL.
Katzenbach that I did not see how the subpoenaing of any witnesses
would affect the outcome of the case and that anyone the attorneys
desired to subpoena could be subpoenaed,
In this connection the attorneys have furnished a list of
names of individuals who they desire to have subpoenaed, We will
assist in the service of the subpoenas where they are not readily
located inasmuch as the attorneys are at this time interviewing all
potential witnesses,
This could very well be a "cute" way of trying to find out
who our source may be and I believe that the question of perjury is
inconsequential in the over~all consideration of the case,
RECOMMENDATION:
Taking everything into consideration, I feel that we should
state to the Department that insofar as we are concerned the attorneys
trying this case are free to ask any questions which they may desire to
and that we are not placing any restrictions on questions that they ask
nor the individuals they subpoena just as long as it comes within the
accepted prerogatives of legal procedure,
Inasmuch as we have now been pressed for some answer, I
believe it would be appropriate to state ‘We were.able to secure
information leading to the location of the bodies; ‘however, the source
cannot be disclosed." This is a specific answer and would be appropriate
under the circumstances. If cir stances change, then we may have -
to suggest further action. Thig/wil)/be watched closely.
