C. . me 2 tim ae, Dear Mr. Hoover: ye / / © | | neeenaae Thought you might like to see the local paper's handling of the recent verbal exchanges between you and Ramsey Clark. It appears the paper here used the AP releases straight, although Ramsey Clark's wife was a local girl at the time of their marriage . U think your characterization of Clark asa "jellyfish" was too kind. If we followed his true thinking, then the lawbreakers and the violators would be dicta- ting the policy for your department. Thank you again for your long years of dedicated service to our Nation, and lor always speaking your piece. I shudder at the prospects of what might happen when Time saps your energy, and you are no longer able to provide the direction and leadership that has made the FBI the epitome of decent, capable law enforce- TODD AE peat . we . .
