At approximately 2:30 PM our time I talked to SA HENRY SCHUTZ from the Bureau.

SCHUTZ requested that I be sure to get word to you that he expects to hear from you tonight to talk over the search situation.

He also advised it will be necessary to get a "good" teletype off to the Bureau tonight relative to the discontinuance of the search for the time being. This tele- type should generally point out that the Army has withdrawn its troops, that the search has been arduous and physically exhausting and that the troops are being withdrawn primarily to give them some rest; also in view of the approaching holiday weekend. It should point out that agents have been with the troops throughout the search and that the agents involved also have undergone an arduous and tiring experience and can use rest too. It should point out that UACB agents from the nearby offices at least will be released to return to their offices, and that either the same agents or replacements for them will rejoin the search with the Army troops at whatever time this resumption of the search is established.
