L Pa : Memorandum to Mr. J. B. Adams Re: Surreptitious Entries 66-8160 On September 22, 1975, the SSC requested information concerning entries against domestic targets. On September 23, 1975, we furnished a memorandum to the SSC in response to its request of September 22. The memorandum set forth the number of targets known to us at the time and the number cf entries made against those targets. We advised we were unable to provide an accurate accounting of entries or targets because procedures followed in reporting entry information were so couched that it was As f&Fs Te & 4 : difficult to identify. We advised we had no central document, file or index listing all entries. (Memorandum attached} On September 25, 1975, SSC staff member John ELLiff was allowed access review of a list of specific targets which had heen mentioned generally in the September 23 mem- orandum. At the time of the review, it was pointed out to Mr. Elliff that we were unable to say that the list was all-inclusive, that we could not locate documents pertaining to entries because of the "Do Not File" destruction procedures, and that we could not say definitively that we had iocated all entries. Included in our September 23 memorandum was mention of an April, 1968, entry against a domestic group | in New York Cit This entry was not known to Headquarters at the time of Director Kelley's July 14 press statement, but came to our attention sometime in mid-August as a result of a contact between the New York Office and Assistant Director W. Raymond Wannall. The Department was advised in early September, 1975, of the April, 1968, entry, and at the same time we furnished information about certain entries in the foreign counterintelligence area. From August, 1975, through the end of the year, we responded to numerous Departmental, SSC and HSC requests for information pertaining to surreptitious entries. Except for the one April, 1968, entry previously mentioned, we learned of no further entries occurring in the domestic area subsequent to July, 1966. Our belief that no documents existed in this respect was reinforced by this failure to locate such material. CONTINUED - OVER
