Excerpt from Investigation of Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce, Vol. 2: Hearings Before a Special Committee to Investigate Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce, United States Senate, Eighty-First Congress, Second Session, Pursuant to S. Res, 202

United States Senate, Special Committee to Investigate Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce, Washington, D.C.

The committee met, pursuant to call of the chairman, at 10: 15 a. m., in room 457, Senate Office Building, Senator Estes Kefauver, chairman, presiding.

Present: Senators Kefauver, Hunt, and Wiley.

Also present: Rudolph Halley, chief counsel; George S. Robinson, associate counsel; Alfred M.Klein, assistant counsel; and Harold G.Robinson, chief investigator.

The Chairman. The committee will come to order.

We do not have a quorum for the purpose of hearing testimony. Senator Wiley, the other member of the committee, is in the city and will be here shortly.

I would like at this time to introduce to those here our associate counsel, Mr. George Robinson, who has just come with the committee. He has very valuable experience which we think will be helpful to the committee in its investigation.

I would also like to introduce Mr. Alfred Klein, of Philadelphia, who is an attorney and who is also experienced in press relations. He has had an eminent career as a gentleman of the press with the Philadelphia Record and has also written extensively.

We had asked the Attorney General of the United States and the head of the Criminal Division, Mr. McInerney, and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to start our public hearings. The Attorney General, as you may know, has sent out a good many inquiries to district attorneys throughout the country to get information about alleged criminal syndicates in their sections and also individuals who are alleged to be engaged in interstate criminal activities. The Attorney General, Mr. McInerney, and Mr. Hoover felt that inasmuch as all the information has not been received and they are still assimilating the data from their inquiries, and also since Mr. McGrath testified before the Commerce Committee some time back, their testimony would be of more value after the answers had been received and classified and assimilated.

I have a letter from the Attorney General which I wish to put in the record at this point, and I will read it for the information of the public. It is addressed to me as chairman.
