Memorandum to Mr. Hoover Re: EDWIN O. GUTHMAN INFORMATION OFFICER ' . ° DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE INFORMATION CONCERNING _ - 3 that there have always previously been difficulties between the Attorney . General and Congress and that he might solicit advice from the Bureau in connection with any handling along this line. Guthman had specific reference to a legislative program which Attorney General Rogers had submitted just before the end of 1960. Mr. Kennedy feels that this was a very weak approach and he is very anxious to get going and to formulat their own program for presentation to Congress. All in all, Guthman was extremely commendatory towards the Bureau in his comments as to his appreciation of their friendliness and courtesy _andI gather, does not intend to either take any major step himself or let the Attorney General so do without checking with us. Guthman indicated that from time to time, he will correspond with me on a personal basis and as this occurs I will see that Mr. DeLoach is advised. . a .
