regarding this
I appreciate your furnishing me with a copy of your memorandum since it gives me an opportunity to clarify our position concerning this case. As you noted, Mr. Morris visited your field office in Cleveland, Ohio on June 4 and 5,
1970.
Ihad
sent Mr.
Morris to
Cleveland, after
conferring
with your representatives here, in order to ascertain, on the scene, what further investigation was necessary to enable us to proceed speedily with a prosecution under the sabotage statutes. To this end, Mr. Morris was, at my request, appointed as a Special Attorney of the Department by the Deputy Attorney General with authority to present evidence to a grand jury of a violation of the sabotage statutes, if the facts warranted
such action
which had
at that
time. After
by your
reviewing all

of the
facts

he cpncluded
that the evidence was insufficient to warrant presentation ofmthisHmatteE t6 amgrand'ury.mr e'determined, however, that additional investigation by_your.BuEauTmight develo such evidence and suggested to your Agents a number of certain

of this request he did not mean to indicate any reluctance with regard to prosecution in this case. He stated that since no action has been initiated by local authorities in over 45 days, he made this request to support his position that Federal prosecution may be warranted as to violations under his supervision, such as Destruction of Government Property and Antiriot
Law violations. In connection with this request, the Portage County Prosecutor, Ronald J. Kane, on 6/18/70 advised he had not received any investigative report on which he could have or will initiate prosecution. He stated that when such is received he
desires to present violations to the Portage County Grand Jury he had requested FBI Headquarters to furnish this case; there is no record of such a request he was advised as to the confidential nature him reports in by Kane, and of these reports.
