Summary

FBI Memo Brent to Hennrich, October 30… (1950)

It is believed that we should give consideration to interviewing Silverman's son, Richard, who is grown and in 1947 was attending Harvard University. Richard should be able to furnish us information concerning his father’s associates in Washington, D. C., particularly some of the individuals who were involved in the Gregory case. It is believed that Silverman would be very sensitive to an approach to his son. It is felt that an interview with Richard Silverman would disturb his father and might be the thing which will cause Silverman to cooperate with us.
