Honorable James C. Cleveland NOTE: oe This is the case which recently received considerable ws press coverage. The Department requested investigation to determine whether the National Rifle Association (NRA) should have registered as a lobbyist in connection with gun registration legislation. We interviewed three officials of NRA and furnished the Department with an investigative report. The Department on 12/10/68, advised that the NRA registered on 12/10/68, with the Clerk of the House of Representatives as a lobbyist: and requested that any further investigation by this Bureau be discontinued. Bureau indices contain no derogatory information identifiable with the constituent. Our relations with Congressman Cleveland are limited but have been generally satisfactory. - 2 - oe “s
