Memo for Mr. Tolson Re: Bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church during recently completed inspection reflects that two additional men can be made available from general criminal assignment to work on the bombing cases. This makes a total of 8 men available fram the Birmingham Office to work on these bombings. If proposed technical coverage approved, it will be necessary to monitor these from individual rather than from a consolidated plant, which requires considerable manpower. Eventually the Birmingham Office may need 4 additional men if the microphones are installed. Inspector does not feel any additional man- power shouid be transferred into Birmingham until we are certain the microphone installations will be made. Inspector feels that SAC should not be permitted to use any of the 8 Agents assigned to bombing matters on any other assignments except those of an emergency nature and then only with Bureau approval.
