| Case File: | JFK Papers Reveal CIA “Family Jewels” Spying Operations in United States |
Description
[edit | edit source]Following a briefing by the Intelligence Community Staff, William Cregar of the FBI’s intelligence division summarizes and cites sections of the CIA’s May 1973 “Family Jewels” report that may implicate the Bureau in what Crager characterizes as “questionable activities in which the CIA has engaged.”
The memo reveals that President Kennedy and Attorney General Robert Kennedy were briefed on the 1962 “forcible entry and removal of documents” from an unnamed location that another document in this posting (Document 3) identifies as “a French diplomatic establishment, Washington, D.C.” Robert Kennedy said “the operation was not to be called to the attention of the FBI unless FBI first initiated inquiry,” according to the memo. It is only with the 2025 declassification of Document 3 that it has been revealed that the target of the break-in was a French diplomatic site.
The “Family Jewels” briefing also covered “Project SALVAGE,” a 1967 operation under which the CIA’s Office of Security rented and occupied an FBI “plant” or bugging device “in New York City directed against the United Nations.”
The memo also reveals a “May, 1972, breakin [sic] at the Chilean Embassy” that other documents in this posting describe in greater detail.
