Kennedy, who was resigning as Chief Counsel of the McClellan Committee. Mr. Kennedy called to express to me his appreciation for the excellent cooperation which the Bureau had extended to him and the particularly helpful assistance which Inspector Courtney A. Evans has extended. — - ‘Mr. Kennedy stated that both Chairman McClellan and himeelf would not have been able to accomplish what they did had they not had the | fullest and most excellent cooperation from the FBI. He stated that, of course, they had not made any public statement to this effect because it had been the understanding at the time Chairman McClellan sought from Attorney General Brownell, the assistance which subsequently had been extended that there should be no public indication af the relationship _ Which would exist between the Committee and the FBI. I told Mr. Kennedy I certainly appreciated his kindness in calling to express the sentiments he had and in return I wanted to say to him what an excellent job he had done under mogt difficult circumstances as Chief Counsel of the McClellan Committee.
