Powers stated the agent taking the call advised the secretaryr that it would be perfectly proper for her to call the telephone company to request this he doneh; whereupon the secretary stated the FBI had performed this service for the Judge in the past and that was she was calling. She was then told that a check would he made and she would he called back and advised. Powers stated we did check the Judge's phone in the Rosenberg case but, since he is now entering trial on a narcotics case in which we have no jurisdiction, Powers wondered whether the Bureau would want this done. He stated the New York Office could telephone the office contacts at the New York Telephone Compare,r requesting the Judge?s line be checked or we could do it ourselves. Powers does not believe we should go to the phone company as this is something. the Judge' 5 Secretary could do quite easilyr herself. Powers was told. we would check this matter and call him back. 2353 Since we have given the Judge this service before in, a case in which we were involved, it is apparent that he is making his request at this if time, not on the basis of any:r jurisdictional interest we may have in cases he is trying, but in his own personal safety. I recommend, therefore, that we Itell Powers to have the New York Office check the Judge's phone even though the casehe isooncerned about is not one within our jurisdiction. . 4:2; 71/: so are as was 5 environ re ?Ha red-s5: 10?] 55 45.53 a DERIVED FRBH: FBI DECLASSIFIEATIEH GUIEE .

It does not appear that this unit will perform as expected by the company. However, development will be followed. A "Transistorized Photo-Cell Probe? is still in the planning stage. It is hoped that this unit will permit detection of a modulated light beam (visible or infrared) by means of which a voice signal within a room is being overheard by unauthorized persons outside the room. Development will be followed. It is of interest to note that State Department security officers have been "talking up? all of the first six items as being exceptionally good and having been designed by SDL at the request of the State Department. Such was claimed by State in a proposed annual report to the NSC Special Committee. As a matter of fact. State Department does not have proprietary right to any of the above items, all of them having been developed by SDL at their own expense. SDL does not have a grasp of the fundamental problems involved in microphone and radio frequency detecting equipment. It lacks the technical equipment and qualified personnel to do a good job. Fundamental performance of SDL products in no instance exceeded that of similar equipment which has been available for years. Of particular importance is the fact that employees of SDL were most indiscreet. They volunteered information as to the names of other Government agencies and of individuals in those agencies for whom they had developed and were developing equipment. They were very strongly cautioned as to the confidential nature of the Bureau?s inquiry. The Bureau should be most circumspect in any future dealings with SDL. None. For information only.

Protective Research Section, Secret Service, has resulted in a recheck of 1+ countermeasures in White House phones .by Laboratory and indication from pith Bench that complete survey of White House telephone facilities would be reque ed at such time as the President is out of town for an extended period. We are presently awaiting further word from Bench as to when the White House work. schedule will permit completion of the survey. Bouck has indicated that purpose of survey is to obtain recommen? dations. as to how to make the White House telephone system as secure as possible. 4 Subsequent information has been obtained reflecting that Boucl: has likewise solicited information and assistance concerning a secure telephone system from representatives oi other Government agencies, the local Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company and the Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated, of New Jersey. It appears that Bouck does not have a thorough understanding of 3 either the technical or security problems involved in operating and maintaining a telephone system and is shopping around for advice and assistance. In view hof this, we will be most circumspect in future dealings with Bouclt. hiformation also indicates that neither Bench nor anyone else has the responsibility for the security of the entire White House telephone system, that Bouck lacks authority to control the installation and removal of telephone instruments, and that he does not have the full cooperation of other White House employees concerning the telephone system. With such a lack of centralized authority and control, it is extremely doubtful that any amount of technical protection would guarantee full security of the telephone system. ACTION: For information. Laboratory will complete survey of White House telephone facilities at such time as Bouck initiates a request for such. .95 Li? 3 1 ..

If all of the Attorney General?s lines are busy, the calling party should get a busy signal. In view of this report from Mr. Holloman, inquiry was made of the telephone company, without revealing the above details, as to whether equipment trouble had increased since initiation of interdepartmental dialing. A slight increase has been noted, but there has also been a considerable increase in the number of calls handled by the equipment which explains the increase.

He said the searching devices had given a positive reaction to an item.in this wall, and that wires led to a telephone cable, where they disappeared. He asked that we assist in having the Laboratory check to find out the significance of this matter, stating that meanwhile he had told his people to take no further action, but to stand by. as Arrangements were made for Milieu of the Laboratora together with a.?ashington Field err ce agen to go to Sharp's hose on the evening of 9/7 and check this out. The attached memorandum from hr. Hillen reflects that this was due to. a buzzer system utilised between the tour floors of the sharp residence,? to enable occupants to signal each other on the different floors. The freak condition was confined to the burner system, and.partion1arly the buzzer in the lihrary on the third floor of the house. There was no indication that the signal was being carried.out of the house on other wires. Consequently,- this was not a microphone installation, but a freak condition due to the buzzer system. The Laboratory is following the matter. On the morning of 9/8 I:Icalled to express his appreciation for the prompt action of the Bureau. He said.tha the bazaar system would he changed in the Secretary?s home to remove this condition. For information. g; 353' We 503 '21542& $3,399.

Doherty Justice Representative on 1013 SUBJECT: Qecurity Surveyr of Telephone Lines V4 (in December 12, 1955 the Chairman of the Interdepartmental W0) Committee on Internal Security advised you of the request made Elia the General Services Administration that ISIS he advised of the possibility of the appearances of U-S. Government telephone lines on the premises of foreign establishments in v.5. cities other than Washington, it that time GSA had indicated that it would make?: a survey of foreign establishments with the end in view of removing i appearances of 11.3. Government lines from the cabling of those es tahlishments . Recently, members of the IBIS Secretariat met 1with represen- tatives of GSA in order to determine what progress has been made in 1 meeting this problem. As a result of these conferences, the I'd/w conferred with officials of the Anerican Telephone and Telegraph ?awg??g, Company regarding the removal of multiple appearances, particular ;T'ul those containing the lines of 11.5. Government establishments, from *6 the telephone cabling going to foreign establishments in the U.S. ri?rt Because of the magnitude of such a survey, the Telephone Cempany recommended as a more practical and economical approach that a list of sensitive Government agencies in cities other than Hashington be transmitted so that multiple appearances could be removed from their lines. Enclosed is a copy of a letter received from GSA dated August 30, 1960 and a copy of a memorandum dated August 12, 1960 received from the American Telephone and Telegraph Company by GSA. I This correspondence sets out the results of progress made in this matter to date. As you will note, the GSA requests the assistance of the IGIS in developing the necessary detailed information re? garding the identification of all sensitive Government lines throughout the 11.8. It would be appreciated if the Federal Bureau of Investigation would submit whatever comments it may have regarding the proposal made by GSA. cf/{Jr ,rlLINE: . raf? - 0?

White House representatives have requested the local Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company to submit a proposal which would provide expansion of the present White House telephone switchboard facilities. A proposal in brochure form has been prepared and submitted to the White House, {3 . HT scortTv *1 enhance, Jaipur-re, . White House representa?ves have furnished this brochure to Director Evans for any comment which the Bureau may care to make regarding security of the telephone company's proposal. 1 Review of this brochure reveals that it is nondetailed, nontechnical and nonspecific with regards to actual installation of equipment, instruments, lines and cables. It does propose in the language of the telephone company's commercial department to effect an expansion of the present small switchboard in the White House by physically removing the board from the White House and incorporating it with a much larger switchboard facility, which still contains expansion capabilities, located in the nearby Executive Office Building. Cost figures as well as an enumeration of the apportionment of lines is set forth in tabular form for consideration. Initiating this move would permit expansion of lines serving the White House. Since no technical detail is set forth in this commercial proposal, no further analysis is possible other than. to. observe that consolidation of the present White House switchboard with the larger Executive Office switchboard with the resultant removal of the present switch? board from the White House proper necessarily requires the telephone cables and lines serving the White House to be routed through the nearby Executive I Office Building. From the standpoint of wire line security, it is imperative, therefore, that the proposed consolidated facilities, telephone Jo cables, terminals and associated equipment all must be afforded a high level of physical security equal to that which is presently applied to the equipment and switchboard facilities now located within the Whit? House proper. 3m hul?? . . If: . 0013?s ?56 7 5?3 (Va-?ii; . . . . .

Dec. MAR a 13131 BE Mr. J. Edgar Hoover 73:? Director Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington 25, r. c. Mfg. Dear Mr. Hoover: Reference is made to previous correspondence regarding security) .1 Sarvmes of telephone lines. On December 12,1955, the Chairman of the Inter departmental on Internal Security advised you of the request made to the General Services Adn'linistration that IBIS he ad?dsed of the possibility of the appearances of U. S. Government telephone lines on the premises of foreign establislunents in U. S. cities other than Washington, D. C. at that time indicated that it would make a survey of foreign establishments with the end in view of removing appearances of U. S. Govermnent lines from the cabling of these establishments. .. The ICIS has recently discussed this matter, in consultation 1lath experts from GSA, the Department of Defense, and the American Telephone and Telegraph Compare. In the course of these discussions it became apparent to the members of the IBIS that although the problem of "multiple appearances" constitutes an internal securit;r danger, the signi?cance of this danger has been considerahl}r diminished by the dsvelopment of more refined techniques for the emloitation of tele- phone lines and instruments for clandestine listening purposes. Furthermore, IBIS is mindful that seein'ity reg?atione forbid the discussion of classified information on telephone lines, and that, therefore, the removal of multiple appearances should yield only ?is, a Tia/sf}? i marginal benefits. The fact that sensitive agencies do make some 11?, efforts to check their telephone lines, to detect interference, if 36 any, together with the advanced techniques mentioned above, have led Cr) ISIS to conclude that there is not adequate justification for pursuing .. ?13 further the problem of multiple appearances of telephone lines. ., 34:.

SUBJECT: ELF: Reference is made to the Director's memorandum to the Attorney General dated April 13, 1961,. reporting completion of a security check by FBI personnel of the Attorney Gener and residence telephone lines. The Attorney General note-m? Would you check the other Cabinet Officers. For the Director's information, we currently conduct a detailed security check on the residence and of?ce telephone lines serving the Director, Mr. Tolson and Bureau officials each three months. In addition, we include the Attorney General and, at this time, Senator John L. McClellan. The Bureau has. no continuing telephone security check program I fer Cabinet Officers. Seine Departmentshave their own technical staff. From a confidential source, we know that some Departments use their oval men to conduct telephone security checks. on their own lines. Such a check involves physical examination and electrical checking on all access points to the lines (such as. in telephone exchange buildings: on poles, in basements of buildings, etc.) for the purpose of determining whether the line is tapped. This is contrasted. to our countermeasure program (CM) in which we modify the telephone instrument itself to prevent its being used as a. microphone to pick up room conversation when the instrument is on the hook. We do have a. continuing counter.- measure program and, as you know, since the first of the year there- has been considerable activity in this program for cabinet Officers due to the change in Administration. The Laboratory is equipped to make telephone security checks and has in the past on special requests performed this. type of work for several individual Cabinet members.

That appropriate Liaison personnel contact the individual Cabinet Officers for the purpose of inquiring as to whether they desire that a Wcurity check. he made on their lines. If desired, the Liaison work out a suitable time for the performance of the werk. 2. Because of the potentially large amount of work which may be involved, the over-all request is being interpreted to encompass but a single ~check of each Cabinet Oificer?s lines rather than undertaking this security check .on a continuing basis.

The Director approved. You will recall that some years ago, the Electronics Section developed a telephone countermeasure (CM) device as. a security measure. This device prevents a telephone from being used as. a microphone to overhear room conversation even though the telephone is hung up. Since. 1950, these CM devices have been installed in the office and residence telephones oi the President, Cabinet members and other high officials of the Federal Government when specifically requested by them or their agency. General Eisenhower's telephones were so protected when he was ?in the WhiteHHonse. The CM device is classified "Secret. Because of this, it 1s desinaple, for the Bureau to be notified ahead of the telephone company repaindepartment in case trouble develops in the telephone in which a CM deviceis installed. This permits Bureau personnel to remove the device beioneia repairman arrives. and possibly removes the telephone instrument. I Liin In connection with the survey for General Eisenhower it is if a suggested that it may be desirable to mention the possibility of being of further service to the General by installing CM devices in the telephones at his residence. If these instruments are made by the Western Electric Company, the CM installation can be made at the time of the survey.

He stated on 1. 8 occasions transportation has been offered to the General, then later the individual Ei flaring the transportation would seek to have the General intercede in some type of a contract. Col. Schulz stated for these reasons, plus the tremendous. respect dig the General has for the Director, General Eisenhower was most appreciative when r.

He is quite accustomed to a well disciplined schedule. I talked brie?y with Lt.

DUNCAN stated that he has been planning to make a request through the Department of Justice asking that the Depart- ment request the FBI to conduct a search of three specific offices at the U. S. Attorney?s office for the purpose of determining whether or not a microphone installation and/or technical coverage of the telephone lines to these three offices might be in effect. The three offices involved are the offices of U. S. Attorney DAVID AGHESON, the office of Principal Assistant CHARLES T. DUNCAN and requests of this kind are handled by the General Accounting Office. He stated he has been in touch with the.Genera1 Accounting Office and they declined to make this check as the FBI is presen 1y con- ducting an investigation in connection with certain ramifications of the Mayflower "Bugging" matter. It is noted that this office is conducting an investigation as an outgrowth of the Nayflower "Bugging" matter concerning alleged bribery and intimidation of witness in case captioned AND INTIMIDATIUN 0F ITNESS REGARDING RDON 633, HOTEL, D. C., 4/1/62 - Bufile 3?7612, WFO 62-8544. die-- Hr. DUNCAN pointed out that the U. S. Attorney?s office has absolutely no definite information indicating that any technical coverage is in effect in their office and that they have received no indication that information obtained or directly connected with our specific investigation is involved. It is my frank opinion from talking to Mr. DUNCAN that any leaks in the Ia?t?t<3 S. Attorney's office are probably caused by AUSA SULLIVAN and/or others in his office talking with certain individuals whom they feel are reliable sources in connection with the grand jury and police department investigation of the actual "bugging" inci? dent. However, in view of the specific request made by nr. which he had intended to make directly to the Department, it is requested that the Bureau authorize experienced technicians from the FBI Laboratory to make a check of the three offices mentioned, or authorize me to have this check made hy'oxperienced personnel of the Washington Field Office.

In order to actuate the equipment, a special coded card must .be inserted in the equipment. These coded cards are changed each day at the same time on a world-wide basis. The'cards are changed in the washington area at 8:00 p. m. daily. The change must he made by a person having Top Secret clearance. The mechanics of handling this matter are essentially very" simple. There is a combination lock on the equipment. The door to the equipment is opened by means of this combination. There is a receptacle immediately inside the door which contams a pad of the cards, approximately These cards are similar in appearance to the ordinary IBM card. The old card is removed and a new card inserted.

The. Attorney General said this was not a- question of maintenance but rather just keeping the coded card up -to -date. bit: It. was then suggested that perhaps the. Attorney General could have people in his. own office do this. He replied by in work was now being handled .his Executive Assistant, but that he had to sendd out of town a great deal. He so 5 that he thought this was a particularly sensitive assignment andhe would be much more secure in his own mind if it could be handled by the FBI. It was then pointed out to the Attorney General that security reasons. would obviouslyr preclude any widespreadknowledge oi the special equipment he had and its combination; that we rotated the assignment of our Special -Agents on weekend duty and this would mean that a different Agent would be in charge everyr Sahirday and Sunday. The Attorneyr General said he would handle the matter himself on the weekend but he would still appreciate our handling it during the week. He again noted that this is a sensitive assignment and that international conditions are tense, and he knew he would not have to worryr if the. job could be done by the FBI.
