ReBulet to Office of Special
4/21/ 60.
Enclosed herewith are 5 copies of a letterhead memo explaining
a telephone call from the "Detroit Times" at Detroit, Mich. ,
to the Flint , Mich., Resident Agency on 5/ 20/ 60.
It is noted that the Flint RA immediately advised Detroit upon
r eceipt of this call from Reporter JERRY CHIAPPETTA of the
"Detroit Times". The ASAC in turn immediately contacted JERRY
CHIAPPETTA to determine the extent of his inquiry o f our RA
and it was determined he had merely had a call from DAVE DOWNEY,
referred to in letterhead memo, and DOWNEY, by inference, had
stated it was his understanding that the FBI Agents in Flint
had previously "snatched" the 2 photos from JOSEPH PERRY.
CHIAPPETTA stated he knew that the FBI did not operate that way
and inasmuch as he was doing a research on his morgue files
he wanted to clarify this information.
CHIAPPETTA's attention was directed to a previous contact by
the Detroit Of fice with the "Detroit Time s" at the time the
incident occurred and it was reiterated to this Reporte r that
the FBI did not investigate this case and doe s not investigat7 !
