On 3/15/72 I talked to Assistant Director THOMAS BISHOP regarding the handling of the press in our anticipated search with the Army.

He advised that I should encourage the Army's Public Relations Officer to simply respond by saying that they were offering their assistance in the terrain search with the FBI, and that I should respond to the inquiries by saying I had no comment about it.
