I made it to page 70, J Edgar Hoover has written basically "The FBI didn't take the damn files, that was the Office of Alien Property that had custody, honest" eight times so far. (While the DoJ's OAP has said "We dindo nuthin, ask Hoover." Twice.)
(Edit to add) another four or so times. JEH never once contacts anyone, Patrick Gray's first response is the same boiler plate, but he at least says "And I'll pass your note to the DoJ".
Part one of three is 269 pages.
