After advising you and the Director, I went over to the Department. The Attorney General asked me howI felt. JI told him I was dimned mad. He asked why. I mentioned that apparently Ed Guthman had steamed up his | favorite hatchet man, Dave Kraslow, against the FBI once again. The Attorney ~ General asked for the facts. I told him that Kraslow had called here twice yesterday | and I had refused to talk to him. He then had called Mr. Wick's office without identifying himself and got Wick on the phone. He asked Wick several sarcastic questions about the identity of FBI representatives who had gone up on the Hill to i 2 Senator Long. Wick told him nothing.
