MEMORANDUM FOR: Inspector General
VIA Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT Alleged Illegal Domestic Activities
(Project MOCKINGBIRD)
1. Reference is made to the request of the Associate
Deputy Director for Administration for information con-
cerning the identities of members of Congress who were in
telephonic contact with either Scott or Allen during the
course of our coverage of the latter two individuals.
2. This is to advise that a thorough search of
available Project MOCKINGB/RD materials reflects the name
of one Congressman, John McCormack, Democrat from
Massachusetts, as having been in telephonic contact with
Scott on 26 March 1963. This is the only record which
reflects telephonic contact by a member of Congress.
3. Attached is a Xerox Copy of the log which includes
the call from Representative McCormick to Scott. Neither
the tape nor the complete transcript is available.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Inspector General
VIA : Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT � Project MOCKINGBIRD
I. Project MOCKINGBIRD was a telephone tap in 1963 of
the homes and the office of Robert S. Allen and Paul J. Scott,
syndicated news columnists whose columns appear in the
Northern Virginia Sun newspaper. A summary of the Project
was previously lurnished to your office.
2. In compliance with your request, the following
additional information is attached:
a. Tab A consists of reports described
in the Project summary previously furnished
to you as based on information provided to
the reporters by specific representatives of
the Senate and Congress. Where available,
telephone tap logs pertaining to these re-
ports are attached to the report itself. It
should be noted that copies of the transcripts
of the conversations upon which the reports
are based are also attached to the reports.
b. Tab B consists of telephone tap logs
showing actual conversations between either
Robert S. Allen or Paul J. Scott and members
of the House of Representatives.
c. Tab C consists of telephone tap logs
of, or where available, transcripts of con-
versations between Scott or Allen or others
wherein a member of the Senate or Congress
are mentioned as a source of information.
3. For your information, Adam, referred to in the
attached logs and transcripts, is reporter Allen, and Sam
is reporter Scott. It should also be noted that the Office

'taw
of Security Project MOCKINGBIRD files, in addition to data
previously furnished to your office, contains, for the most
part, logs of telephone conversations with a brief indica-
tion of the conversation content, but the files do not
contain either the tapes of the conversations or a complete
transcript of all of the conversations.
4. There are numerous inferences in the telephone tap
logs to Congressional sources of Scott and Allen, but there
are no transcriptions or tapes available to substantiate this.
A sample of this type of log is attached as Tab D. In the
entry 1410-32 hours, a person identified as John could
possibly be Representative John McCormack. Further in this
log entry, a reference is made to Representative Michael
Feighan implying that he is providing information, however,
there is also the possibility that the information emanated
from other sources. Without actual tapes or transcripts,
no deductions as to sources relative to this type of log
entry can be made.
S. Please advise if you desire any further information
concerning this matter.
