Gray Defends FBI Arrest of Newsman
Acting FBI Director J Patrick Gray III defended the arrest of reporter Leslie Whitten on charges tied to stolen BIA documents. The arrest occurred outside Hank Adams’ apartment as boxes were loaded into Whitten’s car. A grand jury later did not indict, but Gray said the arrest was authorized by an assistant U S attorney and based on police tips that documents would be delivered for payment to a columnist. He also confirmed telephone records of columnist Jack Anderson were subpoenaed to locate other stolen papers, not to probe sources. Gray testified before Senate panels amid hearings on his FBI appointment and the Watergate probe.
