Subsequent to my press conference and as a result of our reviews in responding to Congressional and Departmental inquiries relating to surreptitious entries, additional entries were detected and furnished to the Department and the Senate Select Committee in September, 1975, We reported that at least 238 surreptitious entries had been conducted against at least 14 domestic subversive targets during the period 1942 to April, 1968, and there were additional entries which we were then unable to document. On March 17, 1976, FBI Headquarters learned asa result of inquiries in connection with a pending lawsuit that folders in our New York Office contained information concerning entries subsequent to 1966 and the Department of Justice was notified the sama date by us. It was through this means that I learned of the existence of a limited number of surreptitious entries conducted in 1972 and 1973 after a thorough review was subsequently made of these folders. The FBI, under my direction, is cooperating with the Department of Justice in a full and complete investi- gation to determine all the facts of this matter.
