SUBJECT: Senator Edward Kennedv's Inauiries Regarding
1. This afternoon I met with James Flug, Chief Counsel of Senator
Kennedy's Subcommittee on Administrative Practice and Procedures of
the Senate Judiciary Committee, in response to Senator Kennedy's letter
of 18 August 1972 to the Director (copy attached). Mr. Flug asked Mike
Epstein, of the Committee staff, who he said had been particularly concerned
with the matter in question, to join us. In response to the questions enclosed
with the Senator's letter co y also attached), I said that
ad been introduced to Mr.
U~P~~~~~~~~;6~
Lee Freeman by a
mutual friend and that the introduction had come about quite by chance and
certainly not on initiative. I said that his contact with Freeman
was limited to this one occasion and he could recall nothing of any business
conversation or any conversation about the cast iron pipe industry on~ that
occasion. I said that in view of this, our answers to the specific questions
forwarded by Senator Kennedy were, with the exception of the first, all
negative .
2. Mr. Flug asked about the date of the single meeting and I said
I understood it was on Thursday, 13 April 1970. He said this was very
puzzling because he understood it was in 1972. He checked his calendar and
said 13 April 1972 was a Thursday. I said it was possible my note on the
matter contained a typographical error and I would be happy to call my office
for clarification. He asked that in doing so I also ascertain as much as I
could tell him about ackground and experienc ly
whether he had ever served in a security capacity or in the
