Miller Jr. that the CIA'S connection with the Mafia faced exposure if the snoopers were prosecuted. A day or so later, Houston and Edwards met with then Attorney General Robert Kennedy. He was upset but apparently not unduly alarmed. There would be no prosecution. His parting words were: "If you people want to get involved again with Mafia types, I want you to consult me first."
