SA BOB STRANGER called from Los Angeles 4/22/72. He said they had stops out for KARL FLEMING at his residence and answering service and he had not called his answering service all day and was not at his residence.

They called his [REDACTED] and b6 talked to [REDACTED] He said FLEMING was in New York and b7C would probably return about the middle of next week. They did not have a number for him but thought he could be reached through Newsweek magazine.

---

After talking to you, I called Asst. Director BATES at the Bureau and advised him of the circumstances. He said that this posed somewhat of a probelm in view of the Director's feeling about Newsweek, and felt the proper way to handle it was for Los Angeles to come into the Bureau with a teletype with copies for Seattle and New York, summarizing the interviews with [REDACTED] and b6 set out the desirability of interviewing FLEMING for the b7C purpose of determining the identity of the person whom he b7D interviewed in Seattle, together with the details of the interview.

---

Los Angeles should then set out what they found out today about FLEMING's presence in New York and instruct New York to interview FLEMING, UACB.

Undoubtedly New York would not be able to do anything through Newsweek until Monday and it would give BATES time to handle the matter at SOG.
