Dr. James E. O'Neill. Director FBI Appraisal Project. With regard'to "confidential files". maintained:in his office as mentioned in the November 12, 1971, memorandumy Mr. Felt indicated to the best of his recollection, Mr. Hoover instructed that he maintain correspondence related to.Mr. Felt's inquiry of mr. Sullivan's participation in the so-called "white House wire taps." Mr. Felt indicated prior to his retirement,' all record material. related to this matter was 'placed on record at Fbiho. Mr. Felt's assertion is confirmed by the.existence of this material. in the Special' File Room at FBiho. This is further substantiated by the' fact Tolson was not.in Mr. Felt's possession and, in. fact,. Mr. Felt apparently confused this. memorandum with. his: October 25, 1971r memorandum in his book... As Dr. Dollar was previously advised, the original of. the November.2,.1971, memorandum was located in an FBIHg file. Mr: Felt advised-that after he retired, he beqan to sort"through his personal papers which were removed from his :office' and. he found. the. Octoher 25,- 1971,.memorandum. Realizing the significance of this document and other non-record'items contained in his personal. papers, he: turned them over to the watergate Special Prosecution Force,and obtained.a receipt for'this material on March 28, 1974:: Mr. Felt advised he did not have any:FBI record material in his possession. I trust the foregoing is responsive to'concerns expressed in your May 13, 1983, :letter. :Please do not hesitate to call upon me for.additional assistance in this. matter.: With best personal regards,. Robert w: Scherrer Section Chief. Records- Section Records Management Division NOTF: In response to Dr.' O'Neill's 5/13/83 b6 Contact with Mr. Felt was coordinated. b7C APPROVET: Eyec.at. Eec.A
