[REDACTED] was interviewed by Agents of the FBI on
May 18, 1972, and freely discussed the story appearing in
the publication, but insisted that the paper did pay $1,000
for the story, and that the photograph of the $20 bill was
given to them when they purchased the story. [REDACTED] however,
stated that he was more than willing to furnish the FBI
with surrounding information, but under no circumstances
would he identify the person who sold the story to the news-
paper.

The above facts were discussed with AUSA [REDACTED]
on September 14, 1972, at which time he advised
that in his judgment the facts in this matter do not con-
stitute a violation within the jurisdiction of the FBI.
