Rosen pene ia sugject: UNKNOWN SUBJECTS; vy / BOMBING OF SIXTEENTH STREET. a BAPTIST CHURCH... gt ae Birmingham, Alabama, 9/15/63 __ BOMBING MATTERS igeted Reference is made to the memorandum of 10/14/63 which gotlocted the information setting forth an analysis of the bombing situation in Birmingham. It was pointed out that in view of the finding that there was substantial work remaining to be done; that there was a heavy overtime by the Agents assigned to the special investigation and in view of the importance of the case; that the investigation should continue as is with a further re-examination in ten days, I have gone over the situation in Birmingham with SAC Moore and there | continues to be a heavy volume of work and activity, There has been no let-down in the pressure which is being exerted to bring about an early solution to this case and each day results in the development of some bit of information which indicates we are proceeding in the right direction, We have a number of avenues being approached, any of which could be most productive, Based upon my personal knowledge of the situation and after discussing this with SAG Moore, I recommend that we can phase out at this time five Agents. This will not work a hardship on the special squad and will amount to a reduction of 16 2/3 percent of the squad. If approved, I will instruct SAC Moore to phase out five Agents and one clerical employee by the end of this week. They canget | their dictation and assignments in shape so they will be able to return to their offices of assignment. The Agent personnel will be as follows: 2 from Little Rock ves 3Y 7 £4. I.
