Those serials pertaining to [REDACTED] and
DONALD SYLVESTER MURPHY have been removed from the NORJAK
file and have been enclosed into a [REDACTED] for the
following reasons:
---
1. To consolidate NORJAK serials and make the
NORJAK file as accurate a reflection of the facts
in NORJAK as possible.
2. Remove the burden of following and reporting
prosecution of a case which is unrelated
to NORJAK from the present case agent.
Note: This is consistent with Bureau
requirements to "vigorously pursue this
matter" and with the memo of ASAC [REDACTED]
[REDACTED] dated 7/14/72, in which it
was noted that this investigation requires
the complete investigative attention of
one Agent.
3. Will partially prevent confidential information
concerning this matter being brought up during
the upcoming [REDACTED] MURPHY trial scheduled
for 11/27/72.
Note: If it becomes necessary to prove MURPHY
is not UNSUB in "open court", careful consider-
ation should be given to how this is done so as
to prevent providing the real UNSUB with
information he may need to continue to avoid
prosecution. In addition, the new leads
received as a result of any confidential
information being made public will obviously
make elimination of new suspects more difficult.
