RE: [REDACTED] - SOURCE

---

On May 1, 1972, I talked to SA RICHARD GALLAGHER at the Bureau. He wanted to know why the USA only wanted to file ITSP charges. I told him that we had discussed this with the USA, and while technically they could file FBW as well as ITSP charges, he felt it was best to file the one and then if we wanted to add the other we could do so in the indictment.

He reminded me of Mr. HENRY PETERSON's interest in this case and suggested that Mr. PITKIN contact PETERSON about it. I told him that Mr. PITKIN, per Mr. PITKIN's earlier call, was going to talk to PETERSON about a defacto immunity for FLEMING concerning [REDACTED] not delivered by [REDACTED] to the New York Agents. These two tapes were made by FLEMING in his original interviews with [REDACTED] and were illegal under California law but legal under Federal law. I told him that PITKIN was talking to [REDACTED] about them and that they would very likely be delivered to New York today.

This same information was furnished to Mr. BATES.
