Reply #6: Yes. They were released in 1977 and 1978.

The Hoover memo was buried among 98,755 pages of FBI documents released as a result of Freedom of Information lawsuits.

There was a George William Bush who worked for the CIA briefly in 1963-64, but he was a low level night clerk, who worked in the photo lab as I recall. He was interviewed by "The Nation" and when asked about the Hoover memo said "That must be the other George Bush." His job was not one that would have called for him to be briefed or to do any briefings with the FBI.

BTW, when Gerald Ford (of the Warren Commission) appointed Bush as DCI in 1975, it was during the Church Committee investigations into CIA assassinations, and Frank Church charged that Bush was appointed director after the firing of Colby in order to impede the committee's investigation. Colby had been cooperating with the committee, and Ford was trying desperately to thwart it. He brough Bush back from China ... and Bush did the job.

In his autobiography, Bush states, "I'd come to the CIA with some general knowledge of how it operated."
