Under questioning by Sen. Edward Kennedy, (D-
'Mass.), Gray said Dean requested the material
and picked it up personally in Gray's office last
July 28. That was seven days after the FBI gen-
eral counsel advised that FBI information for the
White House should go first to Atty. Gen. Richard
Kleindienst as head of the Justice Department.
Gray told the Senate Judiciary Committee,
,:which is considering his nomination to be perma-
nent FBI director, that it was his own decision to
allow Dean to see the Watergate files because he
said thesWhite House had requested it.
Gray said Dean personally was handed the files
at the FBI as part of his independent investigation
* for President Nixon to ascertain if there was any
administration involvement in the break-in of
Democratic headquarters at the Watergate build-
ing.
"Dean and I didn't discuss the substance of his
inquiry," Gray said. "He did his investigation"
: and I did mine."
The White House and the committee are at an
irpasse which could delay Gray's approval in-
definitely because President Nixon invoked execu-
ing mostly of interviews.
"The different approach was taken because
there were different kinds of material involved,"
said Gray.
Later,Kennedy told news men he couldn't see
the difference between the types of information
referred to by Gray and said "they both seemed
to me to be sensitive."
Kennedy said he believed that giving the ma-
terial to Dean in Gray's office withouttnotifying the
attorney general or anyone else in the FBI vio-
lated procedures outlined by the FBI legal counsel
and concurred in bythe acting FBI director.
FBI general counsel Dwight Dalbey, in answer
to a request for an opinion, told Gray last July 21
that the FBI should not on its own initiative supply
the White House with information on criminal
investigation in progress.
In the memo, introduced yesterday, Dalbey said,
however, "since the President is the top boss of
the executive branch he can obtain" FBI informa-
tion at White House initiative.
He added, however, FBI information for the
White House should first go to the attorney gen-
eral since he heads the Justice Department.
