At 9:30 AM, [REDACTED] called from Ft. Lewis. He advised that they had received approval to go ahead with the search and to "clean it up" by the 21st. He advised that details should be worked out directly with [REDACTED].
---
I called [REDACTED]. He said that they were using the same troops they had previously used and they would move the advance group this afternoon with the rest of the troops following tomorrow morning. He expected that they would be in a position to start searching at 1:00 PM tomorrow afternoon.
---
I specifically asked him if they had authority to go north and south of the river and he said they were going "to try to clean it up" but they had to have the troops out of there by 4/21/72.
---
I called ASAC [REDACTED] of Los Angeles, ASAC [REDACTED] at San Francisco and SAC JULIUS LEE MATTSON at Portland, and told them to have their Agents at the Inn of the Quay in time for your briefing at 8:00 PM tonight.
---
I called SA THOMAS J. MANNING and advised him.
I also advised SA [REDACTED] and alerted SA FARRELL of this office to get Agents ready to go and to take two cars.
---
I called Supervisor HENRY SHUTZ at the Bureau and told him the situation. He said he would advise [REDACTED] of the Administrative Division and for us to send a nitel this evening simply saying what I had told him orally.
