ounstion: How can the public be assurcd that in the future the } ° wee FBI will be fully insplated during eny kind of improper political approaches or influence? ae : —— : -MN. KELLEY: I was asked that question yesterday when I talked with ° the editorial staff of one of our newspapers. I think . | that the best way is for the Senate Judiciary Committee in reviewing candidates for confirmation to make sure that they have chosen the proper person. And one of the main faults of any organization is the man on top. And I think that they should be extremely careful to Make sure that he dogs not bow to pelitical pressures; that he does not do things which would tend to | diminish the effectiveness of the organization. You can set up rules, regulations; you can pass laws, but basically, it rests on the charetter of the man who was chosen to head it, particularly does that appiy to the FBI where perhaps such an authoritarian figure for so many years, ana it is such a well- disciplined organization, and althovwgh the Agent personnel yould not just blindly follow, there is a general tendency to at least go along. Therefore, \ >the post of Director must be one which is carefully chosen, insofar as the man himself. f oursrron: "ir.
