This bill reportedly is now being prepared “-” - and allegedly will contain provisions closely similar to the administration's | 2 | original proposals with the addition of Senator Kennedy's amendment es- - ; tablishing a National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice | to direct law enforcement education, training, research and demonstration~ | projects. The Kennedy-Department substitute bill reportedly will contain |no reference to the FBI and will eliminate the provisions for our handling [tae enforcement training activities. James Flug, Legislative Assistant to Senator Kennedy whose — [janimosity toward the FBI is well known, has been the prime liaison repre- sentative between the Senators and the Department of Justice. James Wood, ‘Associate Counsel on the Criminal Laws and Procedures Subcommittee, this imorning (11-22-67) advised he had talked with Terry Seigal, Legislative Aid ito Senator Hart, and Seigal commented that Flug apparently has no real hope Hof eliminating the FBI provision from the bill. Seigal commented that FBI i } representatives who have talked with various members of the Committee F ‘have convinced enough of them of the logic of FBI direction of training so F that any effort to kill this portion of the bill is doomed to failure; hence, he ifeels no real attempt will be made to knock out the FBI provision. This, of course, may be true, but we know Department of Justice officials are opposed to our having control of the training procedures, and Flug can be expected to use every possible trick to eliminate the FBI provision from the bill. : Wood stated copies of the Kennedy-Department substitute bill are expected to be circulated prior to the Committee meeting next week, and every effort will be made to obtain a copy of this bill as soon‘as one is available. i _ We (Messrs. DeLoach, Bishop and Bowers) have talked to all members of the Committee or their Legislative Assistants earlier this month exolaining our interests in the training provision contained in captioned pill except Senator Kennedy and Senator Tydings. Recontacts are being made with our friends before the Committee meeting to insure they still are aware \e of our interests. This is essential since Flug reportedly has told some stall people sat the FGI does not oppose Senator Kennedy's proposed National Thstitute . . . ian ene ‘ent eeeen
