cases of this type but that we were called by PERRY concerning
this matter inasmuch as PERRY volunteered information to the
FBI and asked for our assistance in getting this information
to the appropriate agency.
It was made very clear to the
Reporter that the FBI immediately transmitted these photos
to the Office of Special Investigations, Dept. of Air Force,
Selfridge AFB, and that Mr. PERRY was advised at the time
that the FBI did not examine these photos, neither did we
conduct any investigation, but that we did see the appropriate
agency was furnished these photos. It is noted that our
Flint Agents on subsequent contacts with PERRY, already kn~n
to the Bureau, that PERRY fully understands the situation
as far as the FBI's position in this matter.
Mr. CHIAPPETTA was also advised that when Mr. PERRY turned
these photos over to the FBI, he said th~t the Air Force
could retain them until they had served the purpose and
then he would like them returned to him.
This information
was made available to the Air Force when the photos were
turned over to them.
Mr. CHIAPPETTA stated he realized the
FBI handled this matter properly in accordance with our
established procedure and that he merely wanted to straighten
the record so that he did not, by inference, indicate ocher
than the facts should he desire to write another story on
this matter.
Immediately upon receiving information from the Flint RA
concerning this matter, the Office of Special Investigations
at Selfridge AFB was telephonically contacted by the Detroit
Office to alert them to this new inquiry in the event they
should receive newspaper inquiry or contact from DAVE DOWNEY,
referred to in the letterhead memo.
