Subject has performed in a manner qult'e consistent with his long and broad ex-
perience in many aspects of the craft of intelligence. His senior grade, his special
~xpertise in the field of propaganda and publicatio~ and his very high. intellect
have contributed to the division's operations in the public media field . a sharp
focus. an ecqnomical concentration of money and effort. and a consequently ·
heightened impact. In ~he ( project. Subject vindicated his faith in 1
a ' moribund clandestin'e asset by demonstrating, after about a year and a half under
his personal direction. that it is one of the most effective activities of its kind.
Before Subj ect assumed direct responsibility for this project, it had suffered from
:vi_sionary and diffuse direction and from poor case officer-agent rapport-. Subject's
personal handling of this 6p~ration is marked by exc.ellent' rapport and the praj ect
welcomes.
.
prospers on an entirely reoriented basis which .the agent hims el! enthusiastically
.
.•
Subject.' s supervisory responsibility has extended over two secretaries, from one
to. two professional .staffers under official cover and three pr 9 fession~l career·
employees under unofficial cover. The fairness and precision of h'is management·
has patently wo~ their respect and inspired their performance. 1 · ~

Section C (Continued)
·.· ·
Special mention should be made of Subject's objectivity and. integrity in
carrying ·out his responsibilities. These were best de.monstrated· wh.en
be promptly and swiftly terminated.a large and effective radio broadcast-
. ing pr~ject, to establish which he and his suborc!inate~ had labore·d hard, ·
-. inunediately upon . belated discovery that insuperable , practical obsta~les
precluded realization o! the project's theoretical potential.
·.
Subject's professional background has attuned his constant attention to
FI operational opportunities arising in the course of his cur;rent CA
activities, a practice co.nsis~ent with his habit o! seeking maxim.um benefit
!or every dollar spent in time, e!!ort or cash.

Subj : Summary of interview with Alice w. Dater and Jean Evans McConnell
On Friday, March 14, 1975, Mrs. Alice w. Dater and Mrs. Jean Evans
McConnell vere interviewed in the office of the Middle School, Sidwell
Friends School, )825 Wisconsin Ave., N.W., Waebington, D.C. The interview
was conducted by Peter R. Clapper. The interview began at about 11:45 a.a.
and ended at about 12:30 p.m. The following is a summary of the interview.
Background Information on Mrs. Dater and Mrs. McConnell
'
Mrs. Dater and Mrs. McConnell are the only teachers still at Sidwell Friends -
School who were there on November 22, 196). Mrs. Dater and Mrs. McConnell
then as nov taught the 6th and 8th grades respectively.
lackground In!onnation on School Practice•
Usually all students ate lunch in the school cafeteria. '!be tinal class ot
the day was a general assembly from about 2:15 p.m. to J:JO p.m. For any
student to leave early, a pareat would have to write, phone or visit the
Mi.ddle School office. The principal there was Frank Barger, deceased.
Ria assistant was Mrs. Harley R. (Lucille) Baker of Bethesda, Md. Many-
students were routinely picked up by parents in car• at the end of each
school day.
ETents of November 22, 196)

Mrs. Oater and Mrs. McConnell agree that it was a normal, tu1l school day.
Mrs. Dater learned of the shooting in Dallas from a $th grade teacher,
Mrs. Ruth Tyson, deceased. Mrs. Tyson visited the faculty room shortly
after lunch, heard the nevs on a radio and quietly reported it to
Mrs. Dater vb.o was teaching a class. Barger then visited Mrs. Barger and
repeated the neva. He indicated be did not want to announce the shooting
immediately. Joseph Kennedy, 11, and Robert Kennedy, 10, were both
students at the school. Barger felt they should be told about their
uncle by their parents. So classes continued.
Mrs. Dater uid that Barger told her that Mrs. R.S. McNamara, vile of the
Defense Secretary, vboee son was also in the school, called to ask i t
she could help. Barger asked her to contact Mrs. Ethel Kennedy and b&Te
her arrange for her tvo •one to be picked up.
At about 2:15 p.m. the usual final claas of the day began. It vas the
assembly. Mrs. · Dater and Mrs. McConnell recall that a movie on Project
Hope was shown. The sound track at the end was President Kennedy's voice.
As the movie neared its end, Barger whistled loudly for attention. He
told the Kennedy boys that their big . car va• blocking traffic. He
excused thena. Then; according to Mrs. Dater, Barger announced tbe
assassination. Mrs. McCormell does not recall the annomeement, but •he
agrees that the students knev · ab ~ut it by the end ot the assembly. She
said some or them were eryin~.

A F F A D A V I T
I, E. HOWARD HUNT, aff irm the following to be my recollec-
tions o f my whereabo ut s on November 22, 1963:
1. On that date I wa s an employee of the Central Intelligence
Agency assigned to the Domestic Operations Division, located in
a commercial build ing in Washington, D . C.
2. I was driving with my late wife on H Street near 8th or 9th
Street when we fir s t heard of the Kennedy shooting on our car
radio. We had been purchasing Chinese groceries at a store named,
as well as I can recall it, "Wah Ling" . I do not know how long
after the initial radio reports were made that my wife and I first
h eard t he news. Brinkley was t he c o mmentator I remember because
of hi s having theorized a "right wing plot": i.e., Dallas citizens
had abu s ed Adlai Stevenson and the climate of Dallas extremism had
caused Kennedy's shooting.
3. From the Chinese grocery s t ore we drove out Wi sconsin Avenue
to pick up our daughter, Kevan, from Sidwell Friends School. On
joining us my daughter told us what we already knew: that President
Kennedy had been shot. She had learned this because two of Robert
Kenne dy's children had been t a ken f rom Sidwell Friends School, pre-
surnably b y Secret Service agents.
4. From Kevan's school we drove directly to our home on Baltan
Road in Sumner, Maryland (off Massachusetts Avenue extended). At
home was my newly-born son, Dav id (DOB 9/ 1/ 63}, a maid, Mary Traynor,
- 526 (JFK ACT}

DA. 'l'F
L -
and my wife's aunt, the late Leona Drexler of Chicago . Our elder
son , St. John, a student at nearby Brookmont Elementary School,
was probably already at home. As I recall, our eldest child, Lisa,
arrived soon afterward by bus from Ursuline Academy and joined us
at the television set in our basement recreation room where we
stayed long hours watching the unfolding of events : the swearing-in

'
of LBJ, the arrival at Andrews Field of the Presidential coffin,
etc.
5. As to why I was not at my office that entire afternoon, I can
only presume that I had left early to help my wife shop for a
planned Chinese dinner, in the preparation of which I normally
assisted.
6. I was never in Dallas, Texas, until late 1971 when, at the

~. f U ? b '
:) <'
request of Charles Colson I flew there to interview Gen . Paul:" ~; \
Harkins, former U.S . military conunander in Vietnam.
7. I did not meet Frank Sturgis until the spring of 1972, the
introduction being performed by and at the office of Bernard L.
Barker.
8. I never at any time met or knew Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby,
or any other person involved in the Dallas slayings.
9. I was not in Mexico in 1963. In fact, I was not in Mexico
between the years 1961 and 1970, and have not been there since
a weekend pleasure trip to Acapulco in July of 1970 .

March 10, 1975

SEGRE I/SENSITIVE
MEMORANDUM FOR: FILE
FROM: Robert B. Olsen~

SUBJECT: Telephone Interview with E. Howard Hunt
on March 7, 1975
I called Mr. Hunt at his residence in Miami, Florida, after first

clearing the matter with his attorney, Mr. Snyder, of Baltimore.
I asked Mr. Hunt about the apparent inconsistency between his des-
cription to us of the circumstances under which he heard about the
assassination of President Kennedy on November 22, 1963, and the
letter from a former family maid, Mary Traynor. In particular, I
called his attention to the fact that Mrs. Traynor,in her letter,
advises that Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were at home when word of the assas-
inat~on came in a telephone call from Veronica Moppett. This
is inconsistent with Mr. Hunt's statement that he and Mrs. Hunt
heard about the assassination on the car radio while they were in
downtown Washington, D. C. Mr. Hunt stated that Mary Traynor
seems to be in error. He says that it is entirely possible that
there was such a call from Veronica Moppett, although he does not
remember it. He says that a lot of people were calling each other
with the news about the shooting of the President. He says it is
also possible that this was the manner in which Mary Traynor heard
about the shooting and that she is simply in error in her recollec-
tion that the Hunts were then at home.
Hunt stated that he thinks that the Sidwell Friends School dismissed
classes for the day at 3:15 pm or 3:30 pm. He says it is possible
that the school was dismissed earlier on the day of the assassination
but he does not know for sure. He acknowledges that he and Mrs. Hunt
would not have known about an earlier dismissal of classes in time to
pick up Kevan unless Mrs. Hunt had called the school while they were
enroute from downtown Washington, D. C. He does not recall making
such a call himself, and he does not recall his wife making one. If
classes let out at the normal time, he and Mrs. Hunt would have arrived
at home, with their daughter Kevan, at about 3:30 or 3:45 pm.

/ He st:ates that. as he recalls it , there was some delay between the

time of the death of th e President and the time it was made public
on radio and television. He does not recall whether the death of
the President had been announced by the time he and Mrs. Hunt arrived
at home and he turned on the television set. [The President was pro-
nounced dead at 2:00 pm, Eas t ern Standard Time. The exact time when
the death was announced on radio or television has not been checked
out.]
He recalls that when he was wa~ching T. V. with his family after arr1v1ng
at home, either Huntley or Brinkley made s ome statement to the effect
that the assassination was an outgrowth of the hatred of far Right groups
which was much in evidence in Dallas, as had been shown by a recent inci -
dent involving some one spitting into the face of Ad lai Stevenson. The
implication made by Huntley or Brinkley was that the assassination had
been accomplished by some one from the far Right Wing. This was before
anything was known about the actual assassin . Hunt remembers commenting
to his family that it was just like Huntley or Brinkley to jump to the
conclusion that the shooting had been by a Right Winger before any evi-
dence was available concerning the assassin .
Mr. Hunt will give us a detailed affidavit covering his non- i nvolvement
in the various assassinations. He states that he hopes to be able to
avoid another trip back to Washington because he wants to spend as much
time as possible with his e leven-year old daughter, who is very anxious
about her father's impending imprisonment.
Mr. Hunt states that he hopes to be assigned t o a minimum securi t y federal

prison in Florida when he reports on March 25.
With respect to the late-night television program on the evening of March 6,

1975, on ABC TV, Hunt s tates that he recorded the program on tape. It was
an interview of Dick Gregory, Ralph Schoenman, and one of their companions.
None of the above mentioned Hunt ' s name or that of Sturgis on the program.
He - describes the interviewer pressing Dick Gregory on whether he claims
that the CIA was involved in the assassin ation of President Kennedy and
Gregory responding that th e~ were not stat ing t hat a s a fact, but only
t hat if there was any chance of CIA involvement, th en the President's Com-
mission should investigate it . · Gregory and his companions showed the
Zapruder film and the major thrust of the program was an emphasis on the
s napping back of the President's head at the time of the fatal shot. One
of the interviewees (I believe he said it was Schoenman) stated that they
did not really expect much from Olsen at the CIA Commission, but that th ey
were going to "keep embarrassing him with th e facts ."
Mr. Hunt feels that the press should give some publicity to Schoerunan ' s
background with the Bertrand Russell Foundation.

Tr.ey constitute a fa lse and vi· ·ious libel.
These charges are bizarre ,.
. products of sick mind:}.
The Political Left has never been ab l e or willing t.c accept the fact

that Kennedy ' s assass.._,
preoccupation with finding an alternate assassin.
Dick Gregory's smear represents the ultimate in slander and
innuendo c~stomarily characterized as McCarthyism.
The Rockefeller and other investigat ive corrnnittees will
probably examine Gregory's charges - as indeed they should. For my
part I would welcome a thorough hi gh-level investigation and a full
airing of all relevant findings. Only if this takes place will I have
any hope of clearing my name and living free from the threats against
my life already made by neurotics.
I was not in Dallas, Texas, on November 22,1963; in fact I
never visited Dallas until eight years later. I did not meet Frank
Sturgis until 1972, nine y e ars after we were allegedly together in
Dallas. I was not in Mexico in 1963, and I did not meet Lee Harvey
Oswald there or at any other place or time. Moreover, I shared the
nation's grief over the murder of our President. These are the facts.
Until authoritative investigative bodies make lmown the ir
judgment concerning my alleged involvement in the Kennedy murder I
will continue to bring libel actions against any and all parties
who repeat the libel. I must take this course because the libels are
prejudicial to my position before the Court now consi dering ray
Appeal from the Watergate affair. And because the libels threaten rrry
only means of livelihood, as a writer. But of even greater concern to
me is that continued publicity given to these reckless
charges could stimulate some yet-unpublicized maniac into violent
actio n against me and rrry fami ly.

STATEi\1E NT BY KEVA i\ T. ~UNT FOR THE ROCKEFELLER COMMISSION ON
CIA DOMES TIC AC TI VI ? IES MARCH 11 , 1975

(re: E . Howard Hunt , J r. )
On November 2Z , : 96 ) I was a fifth grade student at the Sidwell
Friends Sc h ool in Washingt on , D. C . My father was not usually at
breakfast with his s hildren, so I do not recall seeing him in the
morning before I wen~ to school . To my knowledge , hoverer , he was
indeed at home. He ~ad not been travelling in the previous months .
I remember tha~ day more clearly than most children my age a t
the time , because two of Rober~ Kennedy ' s sons attended the Si dwell
Friends School . Robert F. Kennedy , Jr . was in my class, and J ose ph
was a year ahead of me .
It was rumored that afternoon that both Bobby and Joe had to
be taken out of school . Later , an announcement was made that the
President had been shot in Dallas .
At J :JO p . m., both my mother and my father picked me up at school
and took me home . I believe that they had been shopping earlier ,
because grocery bags were in the car . I told them about the announcement
that had been made at school , and my parents said that they had just
heard about it ave~ the car radio . My father ' s reaction was shock and
disbelief .
My father was home that weekend as well , and the family wa~ched
all of the television coverage related to the Presidential plane ' s
arrival in Washington , and the funeral proceedings .
To my knowledge , my fathe r had not left on any trips the
months preceding the President ' s assasination , he was at home the
day of the assasination , and he did not leave home that weekend .

Robert B. Olsen, Esquire

Senior Counsel
Commission on CIA Activities

712 Jackson Place, N. w.
Dear Mr. Olsen:
Per our telephone conversation yesterday I am submitting

herewith a sworn statement concerning my whereabouts on the
day of the JFK assassination, November 22, 1963.
Today's~ York Times story, as published in Miami,

continues the same tired old Gregory thesis with but a brief
sentence accorded my denial. While I can appreciate the
Commission's desire not to release its findings piecemeal,
please bear in mind that I am slated to return to prison and
I greatly fear that the sinister allegations of my involvement
in the Kennedy assassination will have inflamed the prison
atmosphere to the point of menacing my life. For this reason,
I request that the Commission's verdict on the photographs
purporting to show Sturgis and myself as arrested tramps in
Dallas be made public as soon as possible. Moreover, I am
requesting Judge Sirica to shorten my sentence, and I fear
that my motion is already seriously prejudiced by the false
assertions current in the face of official silence.
Sincerely,
cc: William A. Snyder, Jr., Esq.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Sam Jaffe Inquiry - Hunt and Sturgis
1. Subsequent to Jaffe' s inquiry to Art Lundahl last week,

relayed to us by John Hicks, we have been in touch with the Office of
Security (Charlie Kane) and have checked other records to ascertain
Hunt's whereabouts at the time of the Kennedy assassination on
21 November 1963.
2. The Office of Finance has checked Hunt's leave and travel

records for the period September 1963 to January 1964, not knowing
the purpose of our request. The record shows for the four week
pay period ending 23 November 1963 that Hunt took 11 hours sick leave and
no annual leave. In the following pay period he took three hours sick
leave and 27 hours annual leave, but this follows the particular period
in question. His travel record shows official travel in September,
October and December, but none in November; all this travel was to
New York. John Richards states that we already know, as a result of
responses to previous requests, that we have no records on Sturgis
that would show similar information; he was not an Agency employee.
3. Security provided us with a column by Jack A:iderson, of

16 April 1974, in which he covered the Hunt-Sturgis rumor, dismissing
it. A copy of the news column is attached. This would suggest that,
rather than police photographs of persons rounded up and booked, the
photographs in question are random snapshots of crowds. If this is
correct there would be no related police fingerprint records that could
be checked for vei:tlfication.
4. Kane feels that any inquiry would attract more attention than
it would be worth. I agree. I suggest that we only hold this information
against possible future inquiries on the subject.

to the effect that the derelicts were personally kno1m to be E. Howard
Hunt or Frank St urgis .
Neither was any credible evidence found by the Commission in-
dicating that the derelicts in question had any p:.irt whatever in the
assassin::i.tion of President Kennedy. While they wGre found in a box-
car not far from the scene of the assassin1ti on, that fact cannot
form th e basis for drawing
any inference of involvement in the assassination. Neither can such

·The shooting of President Kennedy occurred at about 12:31 PM,
Dallas time, on November 22, 1963, while the Presidential motorcade
was passing Dealey Plaza as it headed gen erally westward on Elm Street.
Witnesses to the shooting gave to the police varying accounts of where
they thought the shots had come from. Some believed they had come
from the Texas School Book Depository Building (TSBD). which was
behind and slightly to the right of the President when he was hit; others
thought the shots had come from other directions. Law enforcement
officials understandably conducted a widespread search for evidence
relating to the assassination .
Several h-ours after the shooting, officers of the Dallas Police
D e partment checked all railroad freight cars situated on tra cks any-
where in the vie inity of Dealey Plaza. About six or eight persons who
th e poli ce referr e d to as "derelicts" were found in or near the fr eight
cars . These persons were taken either to the n earby Dallas County
Sheriff's office. or l o the Dallas Police Department, for questioning.
All were released without any arrest r ecord b eing made, or any
fingerprinting or photographing being done by th e authorities. (By
th at time, Lee Harv ey Oswald had already been taken into c u stody

• and was believed by the Dallas authorities to be responsible for the
assassination of the President and the murder of a Dallas police officer.)
Among the six or eight "derelicts" found in the vicinity of the freight
cars were three men who, according to the arresting officers, had
been found sweeping out a grain car about a mile from the Texas School
Book Depository Building. They were being accompanied to the sheriff's
office by Dallas policemen when they were photographed by several
press photographers on the scene. Copies of five of the photographs

'.
showing the "derelicts" were submitted to the Commission's staff as
• evidence. A witness before this Commission testified that he has
ascertained that tlfe three "derelicts" in question were found in a box-
car situated to the northwest of the assassination scene, which would
have been to the right front of the Presidential car at the time of the
shooting. Between the area in which that boxcar was said to be located
and that part of Elm Street where the assassination occurred was a
"grassy knoll." It was alleged by witnesses who volunteered testimony
to the Commission that a bullet fired from the area of that "grassy
knoll" struck President Kennedy in the head. It was also alleged by
the san>e witnesses that one of the three photographed "derelicts"

bears a striking facial resemblance to E. Howard Hunt and that another
of them bears a striking facial r esemb lan ce to Frank Sturgis. Finally,
it was alleged lhat if those two "derelicts" were, in fact, Hunt and
Sturgis, and if the President was in fact struck by a bullet fired from
his right front, the CIA would be shown to be implicated in the killing

of President Kennedy. ...... _ _,,,,,., /
The photographs of the " d erelicts" in Dallas have been care-
fully and systematically compar ed with numerous known photographs
of Hunt and Sturgis tak en both b efore and after November 22, 1963.
A comparison was first made by members of the Commission's staff,
none of whom are ·experts in photo identifi cation. Even as n on - experts,
however , it appeared to the m e mb e rs of th e staff that there was, at
b es t, only a superficial resemblan ce b etwe e n the Dallas "derelicts"
and Hunt and Sturgis. The der c li c t all egedly r esemb ling Hu nt appeared
to be substantially old e r and smaller than Hunt. Th e d e reli c t alleged Ly
r esemblin g Sturgis appeared to be taller and thinner than Sturgis and
lo have hair markedly different in type and color from that of Sturg i s.

'fO WHOM I'l' MAY CONCERN:
The following statement represents· the factual events of

November 22, 1963.
I was e1Jployed by the Central Intelligence Agency from April
1961 through August 1964 as a clerk-typist. On November 22, 1963
I was working for the Domestic Operations Division whose offices
were located at .1717 H. Street in Washington, D. C. My supervisor
was E. Howard Hunt. On the morning of Friday, November 22, 19L3
I was at my desk doing routine office work. Mr. Hunt was in his
office until lunchtime at which time he left. His secretary, Ms.
Margaret Amesbury and I were in the office after lunch when a co-
ViOrker came in and in forined us that John F. l".ennedy, President of
the United States had been shot. We were told that he was dead
shortly after the first announcement. Ms. Amesbury and I discussed
whether we should leave as Mr. Hunt had not yet returned from
lunch. We decided 'that as soon as he heard the news he would
realize that most government workers had been dismissed, and we
both left our office. \ ·,

in a boxcar about one-half mile south of the scene of the assassination .

'
walked northward along the railroad tracks to a point west of the Texas

sheriff's office. This somewhat circui taus route was actually the most
convenient one available according to tl1e Dallas policemen, As the police

average layman. Their testimony appears to have been based on a
comparison of the 1963 photographs of the "derelicts" with a single
1972 photograph of Sturgis and two 1972 photographs of Hunt.
The Commission staff assembled over fifty photographs taken

'
of Hunt and Sturgis both before and after November 22, 1963. These
photographs were submitted to the FBI photographic laboratory for a
comparison with all known photographs of the "derelicts". (The FBI
assembled a complete set of all photographs of the "derelicts" taken
by the three photographers known to have photographed them.) Sucli:
a comparison was made by FBI Agent Lynda! L. Shaneyfelt, a ·'
nationally recognized expert in photo identification and photo analysis.
The report of Agent Shaneyfelt, embodied in a Report of the
FBI Laboratory, dated April 21, 1975, and signed by Clarence M. Kelley,
Director of the FBI, conclttdcd that "neither E. Howard Hunt nor
Frank Sturgis appear as any of the three 'derelicts' arrested rn
Dallas, Texas, as shown in the photographs submitted." With respec:t
to Hunt, it was found that he had a much younger appearance, a smooth
and tightly contoured chin, and a more angular or pointed chin, corr.pared

with the "derelict" in question, who was much older, had a chin with
protruding pouches, and a n10re bulbous nose. With respect to Sturgis,
even more distinguishing characteristics \Vere observed. Compared
to the "derelict" in question, Sturgis had the very definite appearance

<.. '
of a Latin, whereas the "derelict" had the general appearance of a ...

chin lines and the Nordic had an oval face with a more rounded chin;
Sturgis and the Nordic had markedly different ratios between the length
of their noses and the height of their foreheads; and they had different
car and nose contours.
The Commission staff also ascertained that Hunt is approxi-
matcly five feet nine inches tall, and that Sturgis is approximately
five feet eleven inches tall. They respectively so testified, and both
\Vere observed in person in-the offices of the Commission. At the
request of the Commission staff, FBI Agent Shaneyfelt made an on-
site study in Dallas, Ltsing the very cameras with \Vhich the photograp11s

(Alternate No. 2)
In view of the absence of any credible evidence tend-
ing to identify Hunt or Sturgis with the "derelicts" in
question, or otherwise to establish the presence of Hunt
or Sturgis in Dallas on the day of the assassination of

'
President Kennedy, the Commission· finds that it is unneces-
sary to consider the allegations that other persons parti-
cipated in the assassination. If there were other
participants in the assassination, no evidence was found
which would connect them in any way with the CIA. The
Commission was not charged with the duty, or given the · --··
authority, to review the general question whether President
Kennedy's assassination involved a conspiracy. Accordingly,
i t expresses no opinion on that subject.
The Commission is aware that its staff conducted an
investigation relating to allegations that President Kennedy
was struck by at least one bullet fired from the grassy
knoll to his right front, and that it also investigated
allegations that the Zapruder and Nix motion pictures
"reveal" the presence of riflemen in t he area of the grassy
knoll. Those investigations included a review by a panel
of experts of all known motion pictur es of the assassination,

l all photographs and x-rays taken at the autopsy of President
Kennedy, and other related items of evidence, and interviews
with three physicians who have previously been permitted to
review the same materials. These investigations were under-
taken with a view to providing the Corranission with the

'
broadest possible range of information on all aspects of
the allegation that the CIA participated in a conspiracy

1
to assassinate President Kennedy. Nonetheless, the Comrnis-
sion believes that it should not undertake to express views
on matters which lie beyond the range of CIA activities.
Accordingly, it has not analyzed or studied this material
in detail. Nevertheless, for the reasons expressed above,
the Commission concludes that i t found no evidence of CIA
involvement in the assassination of President Kennedy.
The products of the Commission staff's investigations,
however, will remain with the official records of the
Commission.

On the basis of the investigation conducted
by the Commission staff, i t cannot be determined with cer-
tainty where Hunt and Sturgis were on the day of the assassi~
nation. However, no credible evidence was found which could
contradict their testimony that they were in Washington, D.C.
and Miami ., res pee ti vely.

3. The Allegation That Hunt and Sturgis Were Found
Near the Scene of the Assassination and Taken
to the Dallas County Sheriff 1s Office
This allegation is based upon a purported re-
semblance between Hunt and Sturgis, on the one hand, and two
persons who were briefly taken into custody in Dallas follow-
ing the assassination.
The shooting of President Kennedy occurred at
about 12:30 p.m., Dallas time, on November 22, 1963, while

.--: ~
~· 1" ·~·',
the Presidential motorcade was passing Dealey Plaza as i t <', • <'
_,
I '•
headed generaliY westward on Elm Street. Witnesses to the \ .
shooting gave' the police varying accounts of where they
thought the shots had come from. On the basis of the sound
of the shots, some believed that they had c ome from the Texas
School Book De pository Building (TSBD), which wa s b e hind and
slightly to the right of the Pr es id e nt whe n he wa s hit, a nd
others thought the shots had come from other directions. La w
enforcement officials understandably conducte d a wide spread
search for evidence relating to the a s s a s s ination.

Several hours after the shooting, officers
'
of the Dallas Police Department checked all railroad freight
l cars situated on tracks anywhere in the vicinity of Dealey
Plaza. About six or eight persons, referred to as "derelicts,"

J were found in or near the freight cars. These persons were
-4
• taken either to the nearby Dallas County Sheriff's office, '~:\

:-:, .
or to the Dallas Police Department, for questioning. All
• were released ' without any arrest record being made, or any
fingerprinting or photographing being done by the authorities,
Among the six or eight "derelicts" found in the vicinity of

•
• the freight cars were three men who, according to the arrest-
• ing officers, were found in a boxcar about one-half mile
south of the scene of the assassination. They were taken to
the sheriff's office by the Dallas police officers, who walked

'
' northward along the railroad tracks to a point west of the
Texas School Book Depository, then north to Houston Street and
back south to the sheriff's office. This somewhat circuitous
route was actu~lly the most convenient one available, accord-
ing to the Dallas policemen. As the police and the "derelicts"
passed the TSBD Building and headed for the sheriff's office,
they were photographed by several press photographers on the
scene. Copies of five of the photographs showing the "derelicts"
were submitted to the Commission's staff as evidence.

volunteered testimony to the Commission's staff) that a
bullet fired from the area of that "grassy knoll" struck
President Kennedy in the head. It was also alleged by the

Even as non-experts, however, it appeared to the members
of the staff that there was, at best, only a s u perficial
resemblance between the Dallas "derelicts" and Hunt and
Sturgis. The "derelict" allegedly resembling Hunt appeared
to be substantially older and smaller than Hunt. The
"derelict" allegedly resembling Sturgis appeared to be
thinner than Sturgis and to have facial features and hair
markedly different from those of Sturgis.

that "neither E. Howard Hunt nor Frank Sturgis appear as

NovP.mber 22, 1963.
Mr. HUNT recalls first hearing about the KENNEDY
assassination on his car radio following his departure
from a Chinese grocery store in the a:-ea of 9th and H
Streets, N.W., Washington, D.C., with his ¥ife DOROTHY
HUNT (Deceased). Mr . .:Jnd Mrs. HUNT frequently made trips
to Chinese grocery stores located in the 9th and H Streets
area as they both lovad Chinese f ood. Mr. HUNT had spent
some:: time in China during World War II and his wife had
lived there fo r s ome period of time with her first husband.
Mrs. HUNT was an excellent Chinese cook and frequently
prepared Chine r-e meals .
Mr. HUNT is not sure but expressed belief
that he must have been on Annual Leave from his employment
at the Centra l Intelligence Age ncy (CIA) on November 22,
1963 or else he would not }J.ave been on this shopping trip
with · his wife .
He recalls hearing about the KENNEDY assassination
in the early or mid-afternoon and believes he ha d lunch
at home earlier that day with h is wife. He can recall no
other events of November 22 , 1963 except this trip and
th !."! f;ict tha t he picked up his daughter, KEVAN, at Sidwell
Friends School, Wisconsin Avenu~, N.W ., on his way home
from the 9th and H Streets arec'l .
Mr. and Mrs. HUNT resided at 5125 Baltan Road,
Sumner, Maryland, at that time. This address is just
·across the District of Columbia line near Massachusetts
Avenue, N.W .
Any and all records of Mr. HUNT's relating to

Annual Leave on November 22, 1963 and whether or not he was

at work November 21, 1963 and the next working day following
November 22, 1963.
Mr.HUNT believes he remained home following
his arrival there from the grocery trip until the time of
the KENNEDY funeral watching television with his family.
He can recall no conversation with fellow employees, friends
or neighbors during this period of time with the possible
exception of one neighbor, RAYMOND S. THOMAS. Mr. THOMAS
now resides at 1281 Northeast 8th Street, Pompano, Florida.
Mr. HUNT said he was not involved in any way,
shape or form with the KENNEDY assassination. In this regard,
he recently filed a libel s uit agains t the publishers of
"The National Tattler," Promotion Agency, Inc., Chicago,
Illinois, claiming he was 1.ibclodby a n article in this paper .
on March 31, 1974 stating HUNT was at Dallas, Texa s, on
November 22, 1963. /

MISCELLANEOUS - INFORMATION
CONCERNING
A te l ephone call was received by the reporting
agent 2/ 4/ 75 from an individual identifying himself as
TOM COONS , (Baltimore telephone number 685-1120),
representing E. HOWARD HUNT . Mr. COONS mentioned that
he had been present along with Attorney WILLIAM SNYDER
during an interview of Mr . HUNT by the reporting agent
JFK I in Washington, D. C. concerning ARTHUR BREMER during
the late summer of 1974 . He said he was also aware
Mr . HUNT had been interviewed by me at Mr.
SNYDER ' s home during the fall, 1974 regarding an
allegation that had appeared in the "National Tattler"
reporting that HUNT had been at Dallas, Texas on the
day President KENNEDY was shot.
Mr . COONS mentioned that his law office had
received a phone call 1/31/75 from a representative of
t he Rockefeller CIA Commission inquiring about the
" National Tattler" story . Mr . COONS said it was
his understanding that Rockefeller Commission had
discovered this story through comedian DICK GREGORY .
Mr . COONS is continuing to represent E. HOWARD
HUNT and a civil suit is currently pending secttrit:yru-r
damages from the " National Tattler" for falsely
accusing Mr . HUNT . Mr. COONS asked if the FBI
, investigation had been further pursued following
;
l, the interview of HUNT and whether or not any
conclusions had been reached . Mr . COONS was informed
I he should direct a written inquiry to the Director, FBI,
Washington~C . and he indicated this would e dq;.1e.

13 September 1974
SUBJECT: Press Inquiry Into Kennedy Assassination
l. John Hicks phoned to say that he was passing to me what

he had just passed to the DCI and OLC.
2. Hicks had a phone call from Art Lundahl, vacationing in

Michigan. Lundahl's phone is (616) 731-5491. Lundahl was phoned by
a man identifying himself as an independent news reporter named Sam
Jaffe, of Bethesda. Jaffe said that a couple of others are doing an
investigation of the JFK assassination. In the course of this they were
in Dallas, where they reviewed photographs taken by the Dallas police
of persons rounded up following the assasination. Among these photo-
graphs were pictures of 3 or 4 hoboes, two of which Jaffe says he
identified as Howard Hunt and Sturgis.
3. The telephone call to Lundahl was at the suggestion of Victor

Marchetti, who knew Lundahl' s familiarity with photographic development.
He wanted to know of a commercial place they would do enlargements in
order to study the pictures more carefully for a more certain identification.
Lundahl avoided telling Jaffe anything, saying that he was retired and out
of contact. Jaffe wants to see Lundahl when he gets back in October, the
exact date of return being uncertain. Jaffe also said that his information
is being sent to 11Senator Jackson's committee. 11

CIA HJSTO~ICAL REVIEW PROGRAM
MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Security Research Staff
ATTENTION Bruce Solie-
FROM Chief, Investigations Division
SUBJECT : Possible Counterintelligence Matter

(DODS Personnel)
1. Since 19 November 1963, ID/2 has entertained three Covert

Security Approval requests from DO/CA for potential ghost writers.
These requests have emanated from the office of Mr. Howard Hunt,
A/DO/CA. The three potential DODS ghost writers have all proven
to be of very dubious loyalty, and, in two of the three cases, a
direct personal relationship between a DODS official and the po-
tential ghost writer has been established. Whi1e this ma;y be merely
coincidental, we present this matter for your consideration and any
further action you IDFJ¥ deem feasible.
2. The three cases developed in the following manner:
On 19 November 1963, DO/OPRP, in the person of Howe.rd

Hunt, A/DO/CA, requested a PCSA/CSA to utilize
#344-074, as a ghost writer in the United States and abroad
under DODS Project__.. The routing sheet attached to
the request indicated that a was known to Mr. John Greely'
DO/AF. On 5 December 1963 Mr. Joseph R. 1'fu.rphy, then a DODS
Security Officer, was apprised of the derogatory information
in our fi1es relative to loyalty and on 5 December
1963 the case was cancelled. Our files indicate that Mr.
Gree1y was later 1ectured by Se=ity Officials relative to
his re1ationship with O . a
On 9 December 1963, DO/OPRP, in the person of Howe.rd
Hunt, A/DO/CA;,equested a PCSA/CSA to utilize one
- . , #37]. 955, as a ghost writer under DODS Project •
~Appropriate investigation was conducted, and on
14 May 1964, over serious security objection, a Covert
Security Approval, with severe restrictions, was issued to
DO/OPRP. The restrictions proved to be so burdensome to
DO/CA that on 6 Ju1y 1964 Howard Hunt, A/DO/CA, cancelled
. the case indicating that they would not utilize ~·• • •
within the restrictions. ~investigation· disclosed
him to be a person of highJ.Y questionali1e loyalty.

"'"'
·"'' / \
On 2l August l964 Elizabeth Mcintosh, DO/CA requested
a PCSA/CSA to utiliz #397 025, as a
witting ghost writer in the United States. On approximately
27 October l964 Mr. , DODS/Security was aP-
prised of the derogatory information in our files relative
to loyalty. He discussed this information with
Howard Hunt, A/DO/CA, who indicated that he had been a per-
sonal friend of for some years and despite our in-
formation, felt that was a loyal United States
citizen. Hunt then requested this office to continue its
investigation and reach a security determination. Inter-
estingly LOOK magazine recently published an article called
Red China which is the report of Reynold's interview of
Chinese defector, Tung Chi-Ping. On l7 November l964 a
memorandum of Information regarding Reynolds was forwarded
to or presentation to Tracey Barnes, Chief,
DODS. On approximately 27 November l964, Mr. ad-
vised this office that DODS is no longer considering Reynolds
for the position of ghost writer.
3. Please advise us of any further action you ma,y take in this

matter.

FROM ehief, Personnel Security Division
SUBJEC1SANSON-ROMAN, Oscar Denilo

-
1. On 6 April 1964 I talked, . . , MQ·.rard
Hunt to whom I had been referred by 1~~--...,_~
Hunt was having dinner at the Old Europe

Restaurant when a girl got up, came over to
his table, and said "hello". She was Sonya
Toledo who was a receptionist at the Embassy
when Hunt was in Montevideo. She brought over
the man she said was her escort for the evening
and introduced him as tQe subject person.
Hunt said that he remembers that Sonya

married an American GI and came to this country
with him. Her married name is unknown. She
met subject at the Uruguayan Embass~.
2. The above information was reported to Mr. Byrnes,

FBI/WFO, who recognized the Toledo name and who said he
would drop the matter.
3.Byrnes' initial interest was expressed to me on

64 when he called about a 14 January memo by
who wrote that subject had been introduced to
mber of the Agency as a co-owner of the Saville .-
Book Shop on P Street. I called Mrs. who said her
only role in this was as a reports officer and who referred
me to Howard Hunt.

1. Mr .HUnt is Deputy Chie! ot {
Division and be bas been operatingl
_]
2. Hr. Hunt ha3 been granted security clearances !or several

novels during his employmmt vi.th this Agency. In l.949,' j .u st prior
to employment with CIA, he published Day o! the Serpent, a .fictiao.a.1.
work an OSS in China. He has achieved consid8rable national prom-
inence as an author of World War n stories.
J. His .tuD. na..m is Everette Howard Hunt, Jr. The manuscript

just submitted carries the name Howcµ'd Hunt on the title page. His ·
PHS includes t.he nickname •Howie- with the explanation that this is
his nom de plume. On the last page ot his PHS he sta t.ed that an
estimated ODe m11l ion pocket edition copies of two o.f his books are
~ circulation. - His present publisher, Fawcett Publications, Inc.,
New York, publishes the 25 and 35 cent books which are aol.d in
states. It seeWt quite ~obable that Mr. Hunt vou.}.d be knmm

of La tin America. It is the iJq>ression of the undersigned, as a

reader, that the author speald.ng thr~ugh bi~ cbaracter..s regards the
Latin Americans a..s ignorant, corrupt, homicidal saw.ges. Some I
passages which tend to support this inference appear below. .. . ·. I

stolid background ,before which the rive percent struggles

It would seem that the author• s fi-xati.on in regard to the superiority

of the Hordic to the Latin and Indian races, which permeates the
entire novel, would be most offensive to Latin Americans. The Latin
Anericans might well argue that Mr. Hunt, like Erskine cal.dwell,
bas taken a saJ14>le o! the illiterate, aioora1 minority in Lat.in
A.mericjl an~ used it to depict a whole culture.
6. In a soliloquy on p. 149, Mr. HWlt• s North American hero,

Selden, describes Latin l.nerican males !J.S though they are suffering
!'rom a racial or southern continental satyriasis. His play upcm
the expressioos •muchos huevoS" and •cajones9 conveys the i.Jlpressicn
that the author suffers from a fixation that the Latin American
males as a whole are a race of bravos. The description o! this
characteristic, which he appears to attribute to them, i.s belabored
through the mouth o! Fedder, a Nazi rei"ugee on p. 100. •It is the
curse o,f this continent. AJ.:ways the men mst wear pistol.a. '1'bq

unimportant xxx. It is the nature o! our blood.• This sort ~
writing might be said by La.tin Americans to indicate that the authort s

it• "confidential'' nature &JI well &JI lt• potential for libel au.its.
Z. In the to reword to thie manua cript, the author (whom 1 •hall

refer to under hb assumed name of Hamilton), describe• the book a1 a
"pcr•onal account" of CIA'• role in the Bay of Pig• affair in which be waa
a •enlor CIA partici~t for 19 month•. He aota• ln th• foreword hh 1'ope
that aomeone would have written thh boolc •o that he would not have to do

3. We thon prnceeded to the Z9 ,Item• which we would like ti> • :
see modified but which we.could not con•lder clauilied. We mado· o··
thia clear to Hunt and went through them one by one, dl•cuulng our·
concern with each. Hunt contended. that moat of theme Item• •hould
not be considered 'londilve •inco they had been publicized extenalvely;
in aome caae1 con!irmed ln testimony; and. in the caae of other
itema, the princlpala involved were dead. However, ho agreed tO··
change• In the item• referred to In paragraph• 1, 3_. 17, and 3Z of ·::

:"
language of thi• laot item will be changed •o that it no longer leaves·.
the impression that the documentation was pr~pared by the Agency
for this operation. ·
4. When we had finiahe<J, Hunt ar.d his lawyero emphasized

as they had mentioned earlier in the meeting that it might be very
difficult to get the publisher to agree to change• in the unclassified
items. Mr. Snyder offered to present all of the items to the publisher
for change without dietinguiehing between the classified and Wlclasai-
fied itema. He aaid he would do thi• without implying faey were all
classified. I Celt it neceaaary to turn down hie offer because o! the
risk o! the publisher being unwilling to accept that many changes
with the result that we would have to go back to him on the three
classified item•. thua presenting a aituation similar to our retraction
of previously demanded deletion• in the Marchetti book. I think ·
there would be some danger o! the publisher using this in his adver-
tising and through reviewer• for publicity purposes.
5. Aa we were. leaving, Hunt •howed _me what wa.e described

aa a "comfort letter." Thi1 waa a letter written by him to the
publlohero on 17 May 1974 at the publi1her'a r.equcst which said
that in hi1 opinion nothing in the manu·acript violated any agreement
betwee"n hifnael! and the CIA, nor \11,:ould 1ubjcct him to prosccUtion
under the eepionago law1. As the meeting waa ending. Hunt expressed
his hope that no publicity would be ~iven to it and that lhe Agency.
would not iaaue any kind of a prose relc.:aBe. In view o( the Director's
dcciaion that we shall iaauc a preaa release, I.took pains to persuade
Hunt that public acknowledgment of the {act that we had reviewed his

a whitewash of CIA .. In view of thi1;. lfwa1 euy to conviDce Hunt ·

here; however, that both Mr. Rocc&'·anc1 I felt that Hunt and hi• . ·
l&Wyera were genuinely cooperative a~d. that a pre.. releaoe which·

. ia too harah or denigrate• the book or Hunt'• motive• might be unfair
1
and coneidered by him to be ln bad faith.· Hunt appear a to retain
admiration and re1pect for the Agency and aeem1 convinced that 1
nothing in hie book will harm our operation• or personnel.

Henry L. BRETTON
• 1
Office of Security records contain a file on a Henry L.

Bretton who was born on May 18, 1916 in Berlin, Germany. As 1
of 1963, this person was Professor of Political Science at
the University of Michigan. He also has been l~nown as Henry_ Hans
Heinz Bismark and Henry Burk. The information in the following 1
paragraphs pertains to this Henry L. Bretton who is probably
identical to the writer of-the letter dated 3 January 1975 to
the Di rector.
1
In July 1945 Bretton, who was an Army enlisted man attached
to MIS (Fwd) FID, was under consideration for transfer to OSS.
An investigation at that time raised questions as to Bretton's 1
political symp'l.thies. Consequently, Bretton w:,s security dis-
approved in August 194:. for transfer to oss·.
Bretton was informed in 1945 that he would not be hired by 1
OSS because "Washington Security would not approve his employment."
Bretton reportedly was "distressed" by this decision. In December
1945, when Bretton returned to the U.S., he personally called at 1
the Security Office and stated he was aware he had been disapproved
and requested the reason thereof. He was told there were no
openings.
1
In addition, according to a memorandum in Bretton's file
dated 19 November 1945 from the Strategic Services Unit, Mission
to Germany, European Theater, earlier that fall that Unit had 1
tentatively recruited MIS T/4 Henry L. Bretton and that the
Security Branch in Washington failed to pass him. Accord'ng to
this memorandum, when Bretton was told the Unit could not employ
him, Bretton was very much upset. The memorandum indicated
that Bretton had earned the high regard of the officers immediat~ly
concerned for some tentative work Bretton had done for the Unit.
In April 1949 Bretton was still evidencing concern for being
dismissed from SSU. Bretton was given a statement that the
Adjutant General had no information that the circumstances of
his honorable discharge from the service might in any way be
con5idered derogatory.
In July 1956, Bretton was of interest to the Domestic
Collection Division as a potential source of foreign intelligence
information. In connection with this interest, National Agency
Name Check was conducted on Bretton at Army Intelligence. The
OS S 0021/A
\

•
records of Army.Intelligence contained a memorandum 'dated
16 November 1955 which indicated that 1st Lt. Henry L. Bretton
had made c'omplaints to the CIC, to the IG and to AGO, through
his Congressman, with regard to a personnel security investiga-
tion cond11cted on him. Bre.tton alleged that the Government
investigators had given information to his political opponents
concerning his (Brettori's) Party politics and information .
concerning his marital status. Subsequent inquiry by the 'Army.
failed to indicate misconduct on the part of its investigators.
(Another name check on Bret~on in August 1963
of the files of the Counter InteUigence Records .
Facility, Army Intelligence Center, disclosed that
. - - J
Bretton was investigated in .August and September 1955
b~ the CIC (
[ .:JThe results of this investigation reportedly were
ravorable to Bretton. The CIC records also stated that
Bretton at the time was being investigated in conn~ction
with his application for a Reserve Commission.)
. Ba.sed on past (1~45) unresolved questions regardin.g Bret ton's
political orientation, Bretton was security disapproved in
September 1961 as L ::J

from the United SUtes. He requested authorit)· to 10 on record as favorlna the

present durina the Barnes briefina and the crisis follo"'ina the D-2 J1rike
ttveals that Ba~ did not, in any way, provide details about the anticipated

-t. (that there would be a l).D~y aJr ltrilel and that we did not make
point 4 (the spedBc date or either !).day or D-2) clear to StewNOn,
leavtns him under the impression. as I wrote ID A Tlaowand D.Jvr,
that the Invasion ,·rou.Jd not tale place while the Cube.n ttem was
ander dilcw:rioo et the UN. I do DOt bow why Stevenson was not in-
,r formed more prec:Ueh· about the elate. It was prob&bJy because the
..
l
elate had DOt been lnalJy .et in Washlniton, and we suppole(f that
that Question couJd be f aoed farther down tht road."
Based on the previously discussed cable traftlc from the U$UN New Yorl
to the Department or StAte followtna the D-2 strike, Schlesin&er'1 as.rumptions
reaardina Barnes'• brie&na D-2 and D-l>ay were tn error. If D-2 was
mentioned, II II hard to imaiine that II was mentioned in any CC'fllext other
than that It was to be carried out by the CIA-trained, anti-Castro pilots. Thw
any references that Stevenson picked up about the 15 April strike abould have
recalled the lmion with Barna As already mentioned, the D-2 date had been
lle't bv the mornina or 6 April, two days prior to the ~Schlesi.nser trip to
USUN New York.
Beca~ Scblesinaer missed pert of Bames'1 brie6n&. Richard F. Pedenen,
then Chief of the Political Section. or the USUN M.i.s:sion was queried about the
meetina. Pedersen wrote:
I was present with A.mh. Stevenson and Amh. (Francis T. P.J
Plimpton in the brieS.n&:s by Tracy Baines [s:ic] (and Arthur Schles-
meer) in 1961. ...
In fact, the briefin& totalh· misJed Amh. Stevenson. Amb.
Plimpton, and me as to the .-cope and tim.1ni or what was undennv.
The effect of the briefina was this
1) That the CIA wa.s involved in plans for an internal
uprisin& on the tsh.nd (This had to have included mention of
outside Cuban assist.an~ thoU&h I do not DOw remember this as a
fact.)
--
2) That oothina would happen from US territory.
S) That DO US forces or personnel would be involved.
•
•
4) That whatner happened would haw the appa.rancr of

an mtera&J Cuban nent.
I} That emh1,_ would happen dwina the ..ton cl the
General Allemblv. then underway. (J uled thh queltioa IDYRlf.)
There .u DO mention of data, DO mention of an "muon.. by a
f~ ol Cuban.a; DO mention w,...atloe\lef ol anythina llke a ..D-Dty"i
DO mention of US ah lbikes; Md DO mention of 1 date. ...
The three ln- facton for 111 were: ~ of an Internal
aprUina, DO VS .-Jtidi-tton, and nothina dwina the General
A.Demblv lmion. I am dr.ar 1bout their matten, u I was responsible
for ow laandl1ns ol the Cuban ttem then before the General
.f . Allembly. •••
r
I was abo Intimately Involved In the fabe ltatements of Gov.
Stnemon, which be made about the two aircnlt In Florida just
before the lnvufon. It was obvious at that point that 1Dmethina wa.s
aocelerat:ina (althou&h we were completely uninformed about an
Invasion). Nn-ertheless. we were fully usured from Washllwton that
; the two planes In Florida were lec:itimate Cuban aircraft which bad
defected.
I wrote the 6.nt draft to this effect IDYteli. nw was then
:.. rnmtten In Wuhinaton. where It wu deared by Secreta.ry Rw~
himJelf and, I was told, bv the responsible person in CIA. When Mr.
Sisco telephoned the redraft be~k on Saturday mornlni (15 Apri)l J
commented about half wa Y throU&h that the draft was oat a denial.
Mr. Sileo aid that It was and that the rest of the text would lhov; that.
It did, althoudi it may well~ that we ltrena'thened the words on the
phone.•
I then took tM text to Governor Stevenson, telli.ni him that the
Deputment bad verified that, whatever e~ was bappenina, the two
planes concerned were lei;iti.mate defect:i!li planes of the Cuban Air
.: Force. As we by then had pictures of these planes in New York, a.s
well as the statements of the pilots, both of which were also ~ti.mate
If the Washinlton tnt wa.s true, we 1dded th<R elements to the
lt.ltement be later made to the CommJttee.
As we were obviowlv dealini with a delicate matter on whkh it
wa.s imPOrtant to be ri&ht, J suaested to Go\'. Stevenson ~ verify ~
ltatement qain directlr ..ith Secretan- Rusk. He a.sled his aecretary
to mile tM call, but fW1 at th.al point Mr. Sisco called him Gov. Ste--
~nson then Yerified the statement with Mr. Sisco instead, and we

ahort]y went into the Committee where ~ made it. .. .

added to the confwion about Stevenson's position. Aooordina to Schlesinaer,
Secretary Rusk:
teemS for a while to have contused the phony defector at lev West
with the authentic defector at Jacksonville. Apparently it was not
anti.I late Saturday afternoon that be understood that the lev West
plan was put of the CIA plot.a
• Schlesinaer him.sell still did not understand that the lev West S-26 was
not a ..phony.. and be teems to ha vc been unaware that Zunii.a '1 luMhna al
Mia.ml wa.s the intended deception.
In his effort to protect the len.nedv White House, ~hlesinaer claimed
• th.2t ClA had misled State, and "possibly the Aaency havini worked out its de--
i ception plan. f eh obliaed to deceive even the rest of its own 1overnment; or

tini '." .. lf Schlesinier wa.s correct in saving that on 15 April 1961 following
iM air strike, Harlan Ckveland contacted State's Bureau of "lnteramerican
A.Ha.in .. (actualh· the Bureau of American Republic Affairs), which in turn
t called the CIA, and ii~ inQuiries went to the ..lntellia~~ Brinch" (CA's

aircraft in Florida implies ineptitude on his pa.rt and on the part of his

MEl.lOR.t\NDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT : Mr. E. Howard Hunt
REFERENCE : Memorandum for Acting General counsel from
Chief, CCS, Dated 2 November 1973
1. With the assistance of Mr. Robert Johnson, Deputy

Director, Passport Office, I thoroughly reviewed eleven (11)
Passport Office files with the name of Edwa.rd HAMILTOU.
These passport applications had been serviced throughout the
United States and consisted of the following:
4 Edward Joseph Hamilton
3 Edward Hamilton
1 Edward Jonas Hamilton
1 Edward James Hamilton
1 Edward Jackson Hamilton
l Edward John Hamilton
2. A careful review of these files, pictures, dates of
birth, place of birth, etc, indicated that not one of these
passports had been issued to E. Howard HUNT in the name of
Edward Joseph HAMILTON.
3. In addition, I reviewed the file of Frank STURGIS,
AKA Frank Angelo FIORINI, which contained no reference to
E Howard HUNT, although reference was made to some other
associates in the "Bay of Pigs" period.
4. The file of E. Howard HUNT indicated that Hffifr was
issued a Regular (Tourist) passport, #B 1811567, on July 21,
1971, which will expire in July 1976.

Office of the Director

Central Intelligence Agency ·
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
In September 1975 I was asked by Congressman Henry Gonzalez to
provide .verification of a statement that E. Howard Hunt was CIA Chief of
Station in Mexico City in 1963 for a limited period of time.
I have obtained verification of this from two sources whom I oon-

1
sider to be highly reliable, but, for the record, I would wish to include any
official statement from your agency on this matter.
This information is being prepared for a report to the House Select
Committee on Assassinations.
My information is this:
At the time of Lee Harvey Oswald 1 s visit to Mexico City (or alleged
visit), he was the subject of photo surveillance conducted by the agency. At
this time Hunt was chief of station, I am informed., and had overall responsib -
ility for the i:hoto surveillance teams set up across the streets from the Cuban
and Soviet em bas s i i
. . ,f
)
A number of photos were taken of an individual posing as Lee Oswald.
These photos, taken on different occasions since the individual is wearing
different clothing, are not of Oswald, but of a man who worked for the agency
in another capacity, according to a former agency official who has met thil
man on different occasi ons.

Specifically, I am requesting, under the Freedom of Information A c t,
confirmation or denial of Hunt's empl~yment status and lo<!ation in the fall
of 1963. Was Hunt employed at the Mexico City station and, if so, in what
capacity? What was his responsibilities eo far as the pho to surveillance is
concerned?
Incidentally, while I am writing this letter, I would also like to
inquire as to whether there is in existence any files or docume n ts in your
agency pertaining to myself. If so, I would like to request copies of these
documents in accordance with the provisions of the law.
Ple ase send me your reply as soon as possible .
Cordially,

CIA HlSTORfCAt REVIEW PROGRA"'
SUBJECT: Interview of Mr. Davis Powell
on the David St. John Novels
1. On the morning of 15 February 1974, the

undersigned interviewed Mr. Davis Powell, currently
a Budget Officer on the staff of the Deputy Director
for Management and Services. Mr. Powell is located
in Room 7C18. During 1965 Mr. Powell was Chief of
Support of the then designated Western European Divi-
sion. In July 1965 a contract was written authorizing
sala~ and benefits to Mr. E. Howard Hunt for~ assign-
ment The
purp e of this interview was to determine if r. Powell
had any information on Mr. Hunt's activities during this
per{od.
2. Mr. Powell responded that from his recollection
it was Mr. Hunt's habit to deal only with the most senior
officer available. In this case Mr. Hunt dealt directly
with the then Chief of Western European Division, Mr.
Rolf Kingsley. Mr. Powell states that, in his capacity
as Chief of Support, any )lctivif; undertaken to support
Mr. Hunt's assignment to(_ was undertaken second
and thirdhand on receipt of ins ructions from Mr. Kingsley's
office. He further stated that he was never briefed on
the purpose of Mr. Hunt's mission and could add little in
terms of speculation. Mr. Powell recommended that Mr.
Edward Ryan, who was then Deputy Chief of Western European
ivision, be cont,ed. Mr. Powell cso suggestlthat
C be interviewed. as the
xecutive Secreta y in Western Europ ~n Divis~· n uring tluf

subsequentlt'served in 1 • _Jherself. Mr. P ell under-
stands that . fis currently assigned to the
office of t e Chief, Eu~pean Division.

3. Mr. Rocca was thoroughly candid and ~ooperative

during the course of this interview. He was unable to
suggest alternate means of attempting to determine if
any official Agency sponsorship of Mr. Hunt did in fact
exist. Mr. Rocca did venture the opinion that he felt
that in all probability an official acquiescence on the
part of senior officials might have been involved rather
than an official sponsorship. It was agreed by all in
this discussion that the nature of any informal support
given to Mr. Hunt would be far more difficult to define
in the absence of any formalized agreements.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD CIA HISTORICAL REVIEW PROGRAM
SUBJECT: Office of Finance Records - E. Howard Hunt
1. On the instruction of Mr. Steven L. Kuhn, Chief

of Operations, PSI, the ~ndersigned made an appointment
,_for the afterno1 of 20 February 1974 to interview Mr.
I Chief, Certifiction and L::i··son Divi-
~ion, Office ot inance, and Mr. of Finance
on the subject of )ir. E. lard unt. - At th outset of
the interview Mr. advised the undersigned that
instruction had · b~n rece · ed from the Director. of the
Office of Finance, Mr. Thomas Yale, that discussion on
the subject of Mr. Hunt was to be carried,ut on~ith
the Office of the Inspector General. Mr. stated
that he had informed Mr. Yale of the requ ted i erview
and had received this instruction with the suggestion
that the undersigned contact Mr. Yale directly with any
inquiry.
2. Accompanied by Mr./. } ·the undersigned
briefed Mr. Yale on the nathre of th~request and iden-
tified the "Task Force" effort being undertaken by the
Office of Security in concert with the Offices of the
Inspector General and Legislative Counsel. Mr. Yale
responded that he recognized the legitimacy of the in-
quiry. Mr. Yale explained that subsequent to,·nitJ.tion
of the complete audit being underta~en by Mr. of
the Audit Staff, the Deputy Director for Mana men and
Services, Mr. Harold L. Brownman, had requested the
Office of Finance to discontinue their investigation of
Mr. Hunt to avoid duplication. Mr. Yale added paren-
thetically that it was the nature of Finance Officers
not to leave a job half done and that an "informal"
inquiry into Mr. Hunes financial records had neverthe-
less continued at a more subdued pace.

3. A review of the circumsta~ces surro~diftg Mr.

Hunt's conversion to Contract Type A employmentflnd -,
,-assig~nt was then undertaken by Messrs. Yale,L
and the undersigned. The contract and payroll
....'
~files f Mr. Hunt were reviewed for possible indications
,-'!£ th~ature of the operational activity undertaken in
fVl~D~lQ A review of travel vouchers indicated that Mr.
riunt an his family made accountings indicating departure
f r Washington1. C., on 5 August 1965 with an arrival
i on 16 August 1965. The costs of this
tr vel were charged to the budget of the Wester Hemi-=-r
sphere qivision, Deputy Directorate for Plans,
r , JSupport account. A subsequent accounting sum~
l marized PCS travel expenses and included a payment for
apartment rental for 16, 17 and ~ August 1965 with'"i"
pa~ment in the a.mount of $125 tol _jfor
this purpose. -
4. It was determined that an allottee bank account
in Mr. Hunt's name had been established at the Riggs
National Bank of Washington. All salary and other non-
,»Perat..iJnal reimbursements were made to Mr. Hunt through
r check to this account. An operational account
'-was est blished for Mr. Hunt with the Chase Manhattan
Bank of New York ' City. A review of all payments made to
Mr. Hunt through the Chase bank account through Mr. Hunt's
operational advance subsidiary account, or 1442 account,
had been made. There was no record of any operational
account s or advances bein~ prOC(!S !>c <l thr.Ju~h t hL .. har111 ..: l .
Mr. Yale stat ed that this fact defined his c~nce r n H~
felt that it wa s inconc ei vabl e that Mr . Hunt coul d have;
undertaken operational activity withouL s ome trans fer of
or accounting for fund s . To date , no s uc h r eco rJ > hav~
been developed. No reference to a project or project
digraph or operational FAN number has been located. Al
expenses connsed with Mr. Hunt idenJ"fied to date were
_.charged to the . A review made of
ecords has not indica ed any "Developmental
'-and Target ot portunity (D&TO)" funds or "Other Opera-
tional Activity (OOA)" funds expended by or on behalf of
Mr. Hunt. These two accounts would normall y be the s ource
of operational funding not charged against a specific pro -
ject activity.

5. A review of all of the travel vouche~ on . record
for Mr. Hunt during this period also failed to identify
a project. In addition to the PCS and return vouchers,
two other accountings are on record. One ~oun~g
covered a trip by the entire Hunt family t

voucher states in the space provided for the citation of
the travel order number - "no travel order." The account-
ing was approved and signed by Mr. Thomas Karamessines,
then Deputy Director for Plans. No justification or
statement of purpose for this TDY was given on the account-
ing.
6. Mr. Yale determined ·that further review of possible
sources or identification of .operational funding was in
order. Mr. Yale gave instructions that the entire 1442
advance account of Mr. Hunt be reviewed for other possible
channels of funding outside of the New York Chase account.
After discussion, it was agreed that particular attention
be taken to any items connected with publishing or book
royalties. Mr. Yale noted that the royalty offset waiver
provision ammended to Mr. Hunt's contract was, in his ex-
perience, somewhat unusual.
7. Mr. Yale was informed by the undersigned of the
intention to interview Mr. Edward Ryan, curre~ly C:Ef,
Division D, who was at the time of Mr. Hunt's(_ as s ign -
ment, Deputy Chief of the Western Hemisphere D1visi n. Mr.
Yale suggested that Mr. Davis Powell also be interviewed.
The undersigned informed Mr. Yale that this had been done
and briefed Mr. Yale on the generally negative results of
the interview. Mr. -Yale then recommended that Mr. Sam
Halpern be interviewed. Mr. Yale noted that Mr. Halpern
had been an assistant to Mr. Desmond Fitzgerald when the
latter was Chief, Western Hemisphere Division and had ac-
companied Mr. Fitzgerald when he became Deputy Director for
Plans. Mr. Yale recalled that subsequent to Mr. Fitzgerald's
passing that Mr. Halpern remained on the staff and acted as
an Executive Officer for Mr. Thomas Karamessines. Mr. Yale
stated that from his experience, Mr. Karamessines would
have delegated all the arranging of "details" surrounding
an assignment such as Mr. Hunt's to Mr. Halpern. Mr. Yale
offered the parenthetical observation of his surprise at
what he interpreted to be reticence to date to interveww
Mr. Halpern.

stated that any information in this area would greatly
facilitate the job of checking computerized financial
records.

only.
2. (U/AIUO) Background: Reference is made to the
attached request from the House Select Committee on Assassi-
nations (HSCA) dated 20 June 1978 (OLC 78 -2460) . The HSCA
has asked for access to any and all reports and documents
concerning four individuals, two operations, and one company.
The HSCA has also a~ked for any and all reports or documents
concerning any French nationals or citizens involved in
plots or conspiracies to assassinate President Kennedy or
Fidel Castro (item #2) .
(U/AIUO) The Office of Security has material avail-
able for review regarding Valentin Bakulin (#4) and Ricardo

secure additional information on Romero and desire the
Office of Security to search the name again, we shall do so.
The Office of Security cannot conduct a meaningful search
concerning item #2 without specific identities and identi-
fying information.
(C) Please contact Mr . Bruce Solie (red line 9126)

Dear Mr. Cornwell:

This office is legal counsel for E. Howard Hunt, Jr., and I

am sure you are aware of the recent correspondence from this
office concerning his reques te<l app ... arance before your com-
mittee in public session forthwith. Last week this writer
was personally told by attorney Robert Genzman of your com-
mittee staff that he would respond to Mr. Hunt's requests and
demands immediately. I wa ited until today, and I just called
him; he notified me that the committee has no present plans
to call Mr. Hunt for public testimony at this tinie; however ,
that the committee is interested in hearing from Mr. Hunt in
executive session some time in October, 1978.
If the committee is interested in hearing from Mr. Hunt, why
are you going to deny him the public opportunity of clearing
his name? As you know, executive session testimony is never
reported, and while Mr. Hunt could claim some time in the
future that he said such and such in executive session, there
would be no proof thereof , nor the same re a dership that saw the
scurrilous, scandalous, d efamatory and false allegations against
him that appeared in the print media r ecently . . . having been,
according to the article , leaked to these journalists by your
committee staff.
For the fourth time, I am again asking that we be provided

with a copy of the so-called CIA 1966 secret memo regarding
Nr. Hunt, the name or names of those persons on your committee
who provided that information to members of the news media,
the response of Mr. Helms, Mr. Angleton, and Director Turner
to their knowledge of the contents of the so-called secret
memo, as well as the response of Mr. Marchetti and the two

CO~VERSATIO~ ~ITH MR. ANGLETON, JANUARY 1974
MR. ANGLETON If you could make a note there.

SDO Sure.
MR. ANGLETON According to Lyle Miller, Deputy Leg.
Counsel, he has a paper of Security's
on this fellow llunt -- ---para. 15 -----
Subj. Security file reflects that Subj .
has in the pa st been of operational
intere~t to Mr. James Angleton, C/CI Staff/
DDP, in connection with an OP matter . On
19 June 1972 Mr. Fred Hubbard, CI/Staff ,
advised that he will provide info as to
the nature of Mr. Angleton's utilization
of Subj. That's the end of the quote.
SDO Yes Sir.
MR. ANGLETON As I told Mr. ---when I talked to Mr.
Osborn I didn't have thi s in hand and
he didn't recall it ----so-----it throws----
the fact that I talked to Hubbard who
denies all of this,------.
SDO Please hang on ---
SDO Mr. Angleton, could you hang on to this----
he doesn't remember it?
MR. ANGLETON No, he doesn't remember making such a
statement. According t o him, I remember
him well -- Second, I've never met Hun~
in my life, and I ' d appreciate it if Mr.
Osborn ----who ' s going up with the Director
today, find out who the author is of all
of this and brief him on all of this ---
that's it.
SDO Thank you, I will.

THE OBSESSl,ON I 77
hower would be using on his South American tour. (The practice

in Presidential travels was for a group of Marine Corps helicopters
to be on hand ahead of time to transport the President from one
point to another wherever he was visiting.) It is not known
whether Hunt was actually hinting at bribing the Uruguayan
government in this manner.
When Eisenhower arrived in Montevideo in the first days of
March, Nardone conveyed Hunt's message to a totally astonished
Eisenhower. Accustomed as he was to traditional military and
White House staff systems, Eisenhower was taken aback by the
notion that a relatively low-level CIA agent had engaged the
President of a friendly country to speak on his behalf. That same
evening, Eisenhower mention ed the incident to the American
r Ambassador, Robert F . Woodward. H e did so with a sense of
incredulity, but, at the same time, he made it clear to Woodward
that he did not propose to get in volved in CIA's staffing problems
and that he would ignore the Uruguayan President's request.
r Shortly thereafter, word came from Washington for Hunt to re-
turn home as ordered. A new CIA station chief was about to
s arrive in Montevideo.
Hunt has his own version of the events that led to his departure
from Montevideo. As he tells it in his book, "In March 1960 I
·- was having coffee with the newly elected president of the cou ntry
to which I was assigned, when a [CIA] station officer was
•l, admitted . H e told me that an urgent cable was waiting for me at
d the American embassy, so I left and returned to my office. The
0 cable said I was wanted at H eadquarters the following day to
·r discuss a priority assignment, and it was signed jointly by Ri ch ard
I- Bissell, Chief of CIA's Clandestine Services, and his first assistant,
1-
Tracy Barnes."
h One thing that Hunt omitted to relate in his account was that at
:i the same time he was apparently seeking Nardone's help, he was
secretly organizing a plot to overthrow the Uruguayan government.
State D epartment officials say that Hunt considered Nardone to b e

HEADLINE: Hans V. Tofte, 16 1 Dies;

Ex-CIA Officer in Far East
BYLINE: Richard Pearson, Washington Post staff Writer
BODY:
Hans v. Tofte, 76, a distinguished intelligence officer who had a colorful
career that lasted more than 20 years before he was forced to retire from the
central Intelligence Agency in 1966, died Aug. 24 in Gilbertsville, N.Y. He
lived in Gilbertsville.
Mr. Tofte worked in the anti-Nazi underground in his native Denmark in the
early days of World War II. Later in the war, he served in the armies and
intelligence services of Britain and the United States, and behind enemy lines

in Europe and the Far East. During the Korean War, he was a leading CIA officer
in the Far East, organizing covert operations against the Chinese communists and
setting up "evasion and escape" routes for downed Allied fliers inside Korea.
He continued to serve in the CIA until he was dismissed because of a dispute

over his use of classified agency documents. Mr. Tofte, whose job involved
training covert agents, had taken government documents to his Washington home
where he was writing an agency textbook.
The events leading to his leaving the CIA began when be listed the basement
apartment of his home with a Washington realtor, who showed the property to a
'
couple recently transferred to the Washington area. The husband was a CIA
employe who somehow wandered into Mr. Tofte's upstairs study where he discovered
a stack of classified CIA documents.
After informing the agency of the documents, the man returned to Mr. Tofte's
home with another agency employe and confiscated the material. Although it was
never suggested that any of the material left Mr. Tofte's bands, his having the
material at home was apparently in violation of agency rules. Mr. Tofte
maintained that many high-level officials took classifed documents home to work
on and indicated to some reporters that be was dismissed because of unpopular
views be bad developed regarding some CIA personnel and operations policies.
Mr. Tofte was a native of Copenhagen and a 1929 graduate of Holbaek College.
He began working for the East Asiatic co., a Danish shipping concern, while
still a teen-ager. At the age of 19, he was sent to China by the company for
language training. He learned Japanese, Russian and Chinese. He also spoke
English, German and Danish. He was working in the Far East when Denmark was
occupied by German forces.
After returning to Denmark, he became active in the underground before

fleeing the country by German plane to Spain. He traveled to New York, where he
joined the British Secret Intelligence Service. That organization got him a
commission as a British Army brevet major and sent him to the Far East. He later
transferred to the American Office of Strategic Services.
He worked for the Allied cause first in Singapore, then in Burma, where he
helped organize supply lines to China and worked with the famed Orde Wingate.
Later in the war, he went to Yugoslavia where he organized clandestine supply
runs in small vessels to the Yugoslav partisans. He also was stationed in Cairo
and parachuted behind enemy lines into Germany. After the war, he remained in
the u.s. Army reserves and worked in the furniture business in Iowa and as an
airline representative in Denmark.
He was recalled to active duty as a lieutenant colonel during the Korean war
and was sent to Japan. He helped expand agency operations in the Far East during
that war. In addition to organizing pilot rescue lines, he helped set up
guerrilla operations in areas controlled by the communist forces and directed
highly successful propaganda programs against the soviet Union in Japan.
He also organized the 1951 hijacking of a Norwegian ship, carrying a huge

shipment of medical supplies from India to Communist China. Writer Joseph c.
Goulden later reported that Mr. Tofte persuaded the Chinese nationalists to stop
the ship on the high seas and confiscate the cargo (which the nationalists
kept), allowing the ship to proceed.
After the Korean War, Mr. Tofte remained with the CIA and worked with it in
Latin America. He also had been a special assistant to former director of
central intelligence Gen. Walter Bedell Smith.
survivors include a son, of Copenhagen, and a grandchild.

' ~RANDUl! FOR: OSE
SUBJECT: Captain Eugene Karp~, USN, deceaeed
1. During 1948-1949 I served in Europe as an official of the

Economic Cooperation Administration, ranking as Attach' of the Ameri-
can Embassy, Paris.
2. During various periods of temporary duty in Vienna (August-

October, 1948) I came to know Captain Karpe socially. He came to
Vienna frequently on week ends !rom his Bucharest post, staying, like
myself, at the Bristol Hotel.
3. On at least two occasions he flew with me in Gen. Keyes' ai.l"-

cra!t from Vienna to Paris, and I had the distinct impression that he
wanted to spend as little time as possible in Bucharest because of the
annoying and constant surveillance of secret police.
4. CJn one occasion, returning unexpectedly to Vienna, I encount-

ered Capt. Karpe at the Brietol, and asked him why he ltas again in
Vienna. He replied tha~ there had been a series of incidents in Buchar-
est involving the domestic servants of Embassy personnel (shadowing ,
interrogations, etc.), and that I could not imagine how rigorous was
• the life there for Americans. He added j okingly that he could not even
visit a urinal in Bucharest without being accompanied by s~cret police.
5. At no ti.me did Captain Karpe appear despondent; rather he im-

pressed me as a conscientious officer who was undergoing tremendous
hardships, but sought relaxation from surveillance at every legitimate
, p ,PQ.rtunl.ty. .

6.
In October, 1949 I encountered Capt. Karpe in the Arf!J3' & Navy
Club in Washington, and asked h.im. if his Bucharest assignment had termi-
- nate4. His answe~was r~ther vague, and my total impression was that he
felt I was lucky to be out of Europe, and that he was not anxious to re-
turn to Rwnania..
, .
7. Our association was more than casual, for we had mutual friends
in t.he Navy; one of his classmat~s, in fact, having been a fellow offic~r
of mine.
8. Although I knew Mr. and Mrs. "'Robert Vogeler social11 in ViennA,
,.
e I '!lras not aware that Captain Karpe knew them, as later events indicate.

9 June 1973
SUBJECT: Possible Additional Agency Support Furnished Howard Hunt
l. We have reported earli~r an out-of-channel request by

Howard Hunt for a name trace in December 1971 on a Costa Rican.
This was put back in channels by forwarding the name trace report
to Peter Jessup, who then held the position of senior Agency officer
with the NSC Staff in EOB. ... ·
. 2.Jessup has submitted a memorandwn dated 31May1973

(rec~ived in O/IG on 6 June) stating that Howard Hunt,
"submitted -various names for Headquarters traces

of certain Latin Americans, not in a sealed envelope.
This was h~ed orally and by telephone I advised the
chief of the appropriate division that they were being
forwarded and to consult with the DDP about the
propriety of responding. I also telephoned the DDP.
I then wrote my own memo to General HAIG calling
his attention to the fact that an individual--! named
HUNT--was tracing foreign nationals without reference ........
8
to the NSC Staff. " 0
<
~
Haig is reported by Jessup as returning the memorandum with . the
~
........
word "thanks" noted on its face.
<O
3. We h ave spoken with Rob Roy Ratliffe, Jessup' s successor

"1
IO ~
with the NSC S taff, who states (in conversations on 6 and 7 June)
~
0
r-4
~
that it was not customar>'· for Jessup to keep records of this sort ..:I
of transaction, and that a search of the files does not disclose a fl.
copy of the memorandum to General Hai g. Mrs. Evelyn De Pue
(Je ssup's secretary at the time and now Ratliffe's) spoke with Mrs.
( .J at Headquarters, who reported a memorandum from
Chief, WH Division, in D ecember 1971 forwarding to Jessup a
name trace on a Costa Rican (the one noted above ) for Hunt. No
oth e r such re c ords were foWld.

4. Jessup is now on TDY at Headquarters and was interviewed

(7 June by telephone and 8 June in person). He first recalled that
"shortly after" Hunt was appointed to the White House--he thinks
before the plumber unit was formed, although this is ex post facto
reconstruction--Hunt made a request for name traces on Latin
.Ara! ricans. He thinks this involved Guatemalans and Costa Ricans.
I pointed out that Hunt's White House appo~tment was 6 July 1971.
As Jessup discussed it he placed the time the last couple of months
of 1971 or the first month of 1972. He cannot recall how many name
traces were involved, but is certain that the total was more than
one-- "just a few; five, three, two or four. 11 He enclosed Hunt's
request in an envelope and forwarded it with a note that someone
had best check with Tom Karamessines as Hunt was no longer an
Agency employee. Jessup says he didn't know what Hunt was doing
or what he had in mind, and was concerned that Hunt might make
Agency Secret name trace material available to outsiders. Jessup's
office routinely handled a low volwne of name trace requests from the
NSC Staff, but always in such instances he knew who it was for and bow
it was to be us ed.
... . . 5. Jessup said that his office had little other contact with Hunt .
He saw him in the elevator in EOB once or twice, but never had
occasion to discuss business matters. Once someone phoned asking
for Hunt's telephone extension (whi ch was difficult to get, as the
White House switchboard did not give out numbers freely). Out of
curiosity he also got Hunt's room number and wandered down (he
recalls it as Room 106 EOB) where he found a sign on the door
saying 11Plumber, 11 very .::nuch as it might have said "Janitor." He
attached no significance to it at the time, the term "Humber" meaning
nothing to him.
6. On one occasion Jessup took hi s daughter to Blues Alley, and

saw Hunt there with some well-to -do Californians. He thought Hunt
had some association with the place as a public relations man, although
he thinks it would have ta be a very small account. I told him of Hunt's
reported interest in jazz, which was n ews to Jessup. To forestall
Hunt's thinking that he (Je ssup) might be playing around with teenagers
h e took his daughter over to intr.oduce her. His daughter felt that
Hunt was a man very pleased with himself. Jessup had no other ..,
rec ollections. i4

7. Mr. Broe (then Chief~ WH Division) has no recollection of any

name traces handled for Hunt other than the one forwarded over his
(Broe'~) name on 13 December 1971. He recalls discussing that with
his deputy, Jim Flannery. He has discussed this with Flannery, who
has checked the records of WH and has found no other such records.
At this time it seems unlikely that we will answer the questions this
presents. Was Hunt's out-of-channel request {which WH put back in
channel) the one Jessup recalls, with embellislunents? Or did Hunt
make additional requests, through channels, that were not serviced?
We have the one recorded name trace, on a Costa Rican, and no others.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary, CIA Management Committee
SUBJECT : Addend= to Chronologies on "Watergate"
L On 8 December 1971 Mr. Howard Hunt requested a CIA employee

known to him per.sonally, L J
to assist in a na':ne
trace on a Costa Rican citizen, Jorge GONZALEZ Marten, who claimed
i:
to be head of the Costa Rican National Independent Party. On 13 December
1.:;
..
1971 the report was forwarded to Peter Jessup, Senior Staff Officer,
National Security Council, from the Chief, WH Division. Gonzalez was
.. '
reported to be a millionaire, with various holdings in Costa Rica, and an
unidentified connection with IBM. He had lived in the U.S. for a number
of years and seems to have formed his party in December 1971.
2.. The genesis of the requested name trace is not known, and '°''~
subsequent use of the inforznation is not known. ~a

su~EcT: John F . Kennedy Assassination Matter
FACTS
By letter to the Attorney General, dated December 30,

1976, the Internal Revenue Service provided the following
information: On December 9 , 1976, IRS Agent
stationed in Dallas, Texas, was visited by two informants who
provided him with a mechanical reproduction of a handwritten
letter which was allegedly from Lee Harvey Oswald to Nelson
Bunker Hunt. The l etter, dated November 8, 1963, is addressed
only to "Mr. Hunt" and is signed "Lee Harvey Oswald . " It
states in its entirety as follows :
I would like information concerning my

position.
I am asking only for information and

suggesting that we discuss the matter fully
before any steps are taken by me or anyone
else .
The informants indicated that the letter, or a copy thereof,

had previously been supplied to the FBI but that apparently
no action was taken.
In 1971 the same agent r e ceived information from two

informants indicating that Nelson Bunker Hunt , son of H. L.
Hunt, had organized a "kill squad" which was designed "to
eliminate the world of certain liberal leaders." One Eugene
Braden was allegedly connected with this activity. According
to the informants, both Braden and Jack Ruby were in Bunker
Hunt's office on the day before the assassination. Further,
it is purported that immediately after the shooting deputies
of the Dallas County Sheriff ' s Departme nt spotted Braden

himself .
On Janu ary 6, 19 7 7 , t h e Attorney Gene ral ' s office

forward e d the information supp l ied by IRS t o the FBI f or
appropriate action . The Bureau ' s ensuing inves tigation
has had three primary are a s of foc u s: (1) the purported
Oswald letter; (2) the a l leged receipt of the Oswald l e t ter
and ensuing inaction by t h e FBI at some time prior t o
December 1 976;' and ( 3) the suggested assassination co nsp iracy
between Bunker Hunt , Braden , and Ruby.
A. The Oswald Letter
The copy of the purported Os wa l d letter supplied by

IRS has been s ubjected by t he Bureau to handwriting a n a l ys i s .
The results ar e inco nclusive . The writing is suffici e ntly
s i milar to known sampl es of Oswa l d ' s handwriting that Bu rea u
experts cannot eliminate the possibility that the lette r is
g enuine . Ne ithe r c a n they say definitely tha t it i s Oswal d' s
writingo They d o , howe ver , note that the " e " in "Ha rvey "
which is present in known samples of Oswa ld's signature app ears

specific conclus i o n s c a nnot be drawn in the absence of t h e

The Burea u po ints out that numerous e xamples o f Oswa ld ' s

money.
The ensuing FBI investigation into the purported Oswald

letter revealed that the first person known to be in possession
of it was Penn J ones , the retired editor of the Midlothian
News, Midlothian, Texas. He is the author of Forgive My Grief,
an expose which concludes that President Kennedy was killed by
two gunmen who fired a total of 18 s hots .
Jones advised the Bureau that in August 1975, h e received

throu gh the mail a copy of the purported Oswald letter and an
accompanying note in Spanish. The envelope in which he claims
to have received the correspondence contains an uncancelled
Mexican stamp and bears no postmark . The return address
portion of the envelope reads as follows :
p. s.
Insurgentes Sur No. 309
Mexico , D. F.
Mexico
The cover note , typed in Spanish , i s signed "P.S." It indicate s

that its writer supplied the letter to the FBI in late 1 974
believing that it might be relevant to the 1963 assassination.
However , when no action was taken by the Bureau , the writer
concluded that he had'' . • • reason to believe that the worst
may happen to me a nd accordingly must hide for a prudent
period of time" [translatio n].
Jones further advised the Bureau that h e responded by

wr iting " P .S." at the address shown on the envelope . Whe n he
received no reply, he ceased to put muc h faith in the Oswald
let ter and passed it on to Earl Golz , a reporter for the
Dallas Morning News. FBI investigat i on has revealed that
the return address on the purported l etter to Jones is a
postal box for "The Picadilly," a hote l for transients in
Mexico City, Mexico . None of the names of the persons living
at that hotel during the pertinent period contain the initials
"P.S . " Further , a check of those names against Bureau indices
produced no relevant informat ion.

Earl Golz is known for his newspaper stories espousing

conspiracy theories of the Kennedy assassination. He con-
firmed that he received a copy of the Oswald letter from
Penn Jones. Golz, in turn , passed a copy of the letter on
to \ , who he was seeking to develop as a source for
exposes he was preparing on the Hunt empire.
B. The FBI ' s Alleged Receipt of the Oswald Letter
The note in Spanish under which the purported Oswald

letter was farwarded to Penn Jones is dated August 13, 1975.
It states that "[t]owards the end of last year, I remitted
a letter from Lee Oswald to Mr . Kelley , Director of the FBI."
This places the time when the letter was allegedly supplied
to the FBI as late 1974. Further , even assuming a mistaken
time reference by the author of the cover letter, the fact
that Clarence Kelley became Director of the Bureau in the
summer of 1973 sets the outside bounds of the time period
during which the letter could have been supplied as July 1973
to August 1975.
After a check of all appropriate personnel and files,

the Bureau reports that it has no record or other indication
of receiving Oswald's purported letter to Hunt . As part of
its inquiry , FBI agents interviewed the now retired documents
analyst who would have been responsible for the handling of
such a document had it been received between July 1973 and
August 1975. He has no recollection of the Oswald letter
and states the belief that he would remember such a letter
had he received it.
c. Suqqested Assassination Conspiracy Between Nelson Bunker

Hunt , Eugene Braden, and Jack Ruby
The final area of FBI inquiry has centered on information

provided to IRS agent ~ in 1971 to the effect that Nelson
Bunker Hunt had organized a "kill squad" to rid the world of
liberal leaders. Again, the informants were and
According to this al legation, Eugene Braden and
Jack Ruby were possible conspirators in a plot to kill
President Kennedy. It is alleged that Braden and Ruby visited
Bunker Hunt's office on November 21, 1963, the day prior to
th e assassination, and that Braden wa s in the area of the
Texas Book Depository at the time of the incident.

A review of investigative materials compiled by the

FBI in its initial investigation of the Kennedy assassination
reveals that Jack Ruby was interviewed in December 1963.
His statement of his whereabouts on the day prior to the
assassination indicates that he did not visit the Hunt
offices. A copy of this interview was published by the
Warren Commission as Exhibit No . 2 in Volume 20 , page 41.
His female companion during a portion of that day , Connie
Trammel , was interviewed by the Bureau in December 1963
and corroborated Ruby ' s statement. Additionally, Ruby under-
went a polygraph examinat ion on the Kennedy assassination
matter at the request of the Warren Commission. He showed
no sign of deception in stating that he had no knowledge of
a conspiracy to kill the President. The details of this
examination are contained in materials published by the
Warren Commission.
Eugene Braden has recently been interviewed by the FBI .

He explained his presence in Dallas at the time of the
assassination as follows : On November 21 , 1963, he traveled
to Dallas on business. Since he had recently been paroled
from federal prison (he had been convicted of interstate
transportation of stolen property) , he was required to contact
a probation officer upon arriving in Dallas and before leaving.
When he checked in with U. S. Probation Officer
~1-t.. on November 21st, Braden advised him that he might
be talking with the Hunts concerning oil producing property
in Louisiana. Braden was involved with such property together
with Roger Bauman and Morgan Brown. He states that his reason
~""'.\-v for mentioning the Hunts to was that Brown claimed
to know the Hunt family and had previously raised the possi-
bility of setting up a meeting with them . Braden advises,
however, that no such meeting occurred . He further states
that he has never been in the Hunts ' offices and has never
met the Hunts or Jack Ruby.
At the conclusion of his business on November 22d, Braden

b1'c.. walked to the Federal Building to check out with
He was still about a block from that building when the Kennedy
motorcade passed . He proceeded to the Federal Building where
bt~ he met for approximately 15 minutes with At the
conclusion of that meeting he walked for 15 or 20 minutes
whereupon he arrived in the vicinity of the Texas Book Depository
which was then being surrounded by police officers . When he
- 6 -
heard people in the crowd say that the President had been
shot , he entered a nearby building in an unsuccessful attempt
to telephone his family to tell them what was happening.
As Braden exited the building, an elevator operator pointed
him out to deputy sheriffs as being a person not previously
seen in the building. He was detained and subsequently inter-
viewed and released. The written record of the statement
which he provided to Sheriffs Department personnel on
November 22, 1963, is consistent with the information he
recently provided the FBI.
'
Allegations of Braden ' s involvement in the Kennedv
assassination do not originate with IRS informants\
and Several books espousing conspiracy theories
of the assassination have suggested that Braden was a participant
(e.g., A Legacy of Doubt by Peter Noyes , and The Killing of JFK
by Donald Freed) • Part of the support for past allegations
against Braden has been that he used an assumed name during
his detention by the Dallas County Deputy Sheriffs. An FBI
review of the Sheriff's Departme nt interview records reveals
that Braden provided hi s correct name. Although cooperative
in his recent interview with FBI agents, Braden did refuse
to submit to a polygraph examination .
recently advised the Bu reau that H. L. Hunt

once told him that he was concerned that Nelson Bunker Hunt
might carry out some of his violent views on how to deal with
\>~ world communist leaders such as Castro . From this,
concluded that the senior Hunt was concerned that Nelson
Bunker Hunt might become involved in some type of "kill
\?1'" squad." The latter term is • s. He does not recall
the Hunts ever using such terminology .
In a recent interview of Nelson Bunker Hunt concerning

the hit squad theory and the purported Oswald letter, Mr. Hunt
professed no recollection of ever meeting Braden and stated
that he knew nothing about a hit squad . He also denied
receiving the purported Oswald l etter of November 8 , 1963.
Although he was not advised the identity of the persons who
had made the allegations leading to the interview , Hunt
indicated that he knew it was He stated that
had stolen nine million dollars from a Hunt company
and that he probably forged the Oswald letter since he had
been known to forge documents concerning H . L. Hunt .

DISCUSSION
A. Assessin g the Need for Additiona l Investigation
At this poin t the FBI believes that it has exhausted

all log i cal leads in i ts inquiry into the allegations made to
IRS Agent by and \ It considers
the matter closed unless further investigation is reque s ted
by the Department . The determination as to the need for
addit ional investigation appears to tur n on two considerations:
(1) the credehce to be given the instant allegations in light
of evidence deve l oped to date; and (2) the importance of
proving or disproving t o t h e fullest extent reasonable the
allegations and theories that periodically are circulated
concerning this tragedy which has attracted such lasting
national attention.
1. The Oswald Letter
The purported Oswald letter and related allegation that

the FBI fai l ed to act after receiving a copy of it find support
solely in the fact that the l etter is written in a handwriting
that could be Oswald ' s o Conversely, the letter could well
be a forgery , a possibility which is supported by the apparent
omission of the letter "e" from the first name in Oswald's
signature . All surrou ndin g circumstances detract from a
conclusion that the document is genuine .
The letter first came to light almost 12 years after the

assassination. Only a copy was supplied ; no one can be
located who can attest to having seen the original letter .
The first copy to come to lig ht was purportedly transmitted
by mail fro m Mexico yet its envelope bears none of the indicia
of having been processed by a postal system. The letter was
transmitted under a cover letter which contained only initials
to identify its originator . The designated return addre ss
is a hotel for transients which had no registered guest with
the appropriate initials during the period when the letter
purports to have been mailed. Penn Jones allegedly attempted
without success to communicate with the originator of the letter.
Independent assessments of the valid i ty of the Oswa ld

letter can be gleaned from the actions of Penn Jones and Earl
Golz. Both are detractors of the Warren Commis sion's view

of the incident. Both have espoused the theory that the

crime was the product of a conspiracy . Yet, neither of these
men thought enough of the letter to make use of it. They
simply passed it on without making any public disclosure. '!.../
Jones specifically advised the FBI that he does not put much
faith in the letter.
Another well known advocate of the conspiracy theory of

the assassination, Harold Weisberg, has, according to the
Bureau, been quoted in published reports as stating that he
puts no stock in the letter. The Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence was fully apprised of this matter by the Depa rt-
ment in January. After an initial inquiry , it has expressed
no serious continuing interest. The House Select Committee on
Assassinations is also aware of the letter and has not, to
date , made an issue of it.
As concluded by the Bureau , all reasonable leads related

to the Oswald letter appear to have been exhauste d. Accord-
ingly , even taking into account the special concerns surrounding
the John F. Kennedy assassination matter , there appears to be
no basis for additional investigation.
2. Conspiracy Between Nelson Bunker Hunt, Eugene Braden,

and Jack Ruby
The allegation that Hunt, Braden , and Ruby conspired

to kill Pre sident Kennedy is simply a variation of an old
theory on the ass a ssination which has frequently been
asserted by those who believe there was a conspiracy . It
* Earl Golz belatedly published an article about the letter

after he was interviewed by the Bureau . However, the basis
of his article was not the letter itself but rather the
fact that the FBI was conducting an investigation concerning

is fueled somewhat by the Hunt family 1 s well docume nted dis-

like for the Kennedy family and Braden•s unusual life style. ~
The theory is sufficiently well known that IRS agent ~""..\{

, who has long served in Dallas and is well acquainted
with stories about the assassination, thought nothing of
the information supplied him in 1971 on the purported Hunt-
Braden-Ruby conspiracy. He simply filed his notes of the l
information provided by and\ . It wa s only b1a
after the same two informants provided him with the purported
Oswald letter in December 1976 that he began to attach any
significance' to their previous information and called it to
the attention of his superiors.
In the context of normal criminal investigations, the

instant allegation does not appear to merit additional inquiry.
There is no substantial evidence to support the allegation.
Further , even if it were proved, there is no apparent
basis for federal prosecution. The Presidential assassination
statute (18 u.s.c. 1751) was not enacted until 1965. Pros-
ecution under the lesser federal statutes which would h ave
been violated by a conspiracy to assassinate President
Kennedy - conspiracy to violate civil rights (18 U.S.C . 241)
and conspiracy to injure an officer of the United States
.•·. (18 U.S .C. 372 ) is barred by the statute of limitation s .
There are , h owever , two pos s ible investigative steps

which bear mentioning in deference to the high level of
public concern which still exists over the assassination.
a. Eliciting Further Documents from IRS
We can renew our efforts to obtain IRS records per-

taining to the 1971 hit squad allegation so that we can
assure ourselves that IRS has overlooked nothing of relevance
in relaying the allegations of and \ bi-d
to us. To d ate we have received detailed information from
~ If one believes hi s detractors, Braden is inclined toward

shaky business ventures . He is reported to have a propensity
for marrying older women of means only to get lost with their
funds shortly after matrimony, a practice which has caused
him some l egal difficulty.

bi<- agent on this matter. However, the Department's

January request for the production of relevant IRS records
has not yet been fully honored . '!:/
~ Ironically, Departmental attorneys may possess in their

files the very records we have sought . During the motion
stage of the Hunt wiretapping case, the trial judge ordered
Departmental attorneys Guy Goodwin and David Buvinger to
obtain and examine for Brady and Jencks material IRS records
of information provided by and The
'
attorneys, in turn, obtained the relevant materials from
IRS based on their request that such be provided to them
for the purpose of compliance with the judge's order.
Before the records were returned, Mr. Goodwin had a large
portion of them photostated for possible reference later
in the case. Those copies still remain in Mr. Goodwin's
files. He has a h azy recollection that they contain a para-
graph or two concerning hit squads.
Regulations promulgated by IRS pursuant to the Tax

Reform Act of 1976 permit the continued use of previously
disclosed IRS materials for any p urpose authorized by
26 U.S.C. 6103 prior to its 1976 amendment . Federal
Register , Vol. 42, No. 16, p. 4138 (Jan. 25, 1977). One
such authorized use of disclosed records was for investi-
gative purposes. 26 C.F .R. 301.6103 (a) - 1 (a) (3) (i).
Accordingly , unless IRS limited the u se which could be made
of the materials in question at the time of disclosure ,
they can now be used by the Department a nd provided to the
FBI for review. Although Goodwin and Buvinger do not recall
any stated limitation by IRS on use of the documents, they
are in agreement that their request for release was strictly
limited to compliance with the judge's order. Accordingly,
they agree that the most reasonable interpretation is that
the documents were released for a limited purpose and cannot,
therefore, be redisclosed. Additionally, Mr. Goodwin is
uncertain as to his authority for having made a copy of the
documents. In view of these factors , it appears inappro-
priate that the Departme nt use the previously obtained records
in the instant investigation.

Internal Revenue agreed to review its records and t o

provide us with those which are not within the disclosure
constraints of the Tax Reform Act of 1976. To the extent
that certain relevant records could not be released without
an "(i) (2)" letter (26 u.s.c. 6103(i) (2)), IRS agreed to
advise us. So far, the Service has provided the Bureau
with a total of 16 pages of material, all of which are from
the manuscript of an unpublished book by Rothermel on the
Hunts. The material relates to the Hunts' dislike of the
Kennedys but is not otherwise probative. IRS has not pro-
vided any of' its internal reports by of material
furnished by and Neither has it advised
definitely that there is any material which could be made
available under (i) (2). Calls to IRS on this matter have
resulted in courteous but repeated statements that the
matter will have to be checked further. The constraints of
the Tax Reform Act of 1976 appear to make IRS reluctant to
reach a decision. It is doubtful that we will ever receive
any further material as things presently stand.
The Service has suggested that disclosure could be

spurred by the Department's providing an (i) (2) letter, thus
relieving them of having to decide if specific records fall
within the Tax Reform Act. The providing of such a letter
is not, however, without problems. Under (i) (2) the Depart-
ment is required to designate the specific criminal statute
under which it is conducting an investigation which may result
in an administrative or judicial proceeding. As discussed
above, there appears to be no federal statute under which a
prosecution could now be brought against persons who might
have conspired to kill President Kennedy. Accordingly, it
appears that the (i) (2) letter would need to be based on
18 U.S.Co 1001, false official statements. ~
_;!while the Fraud Section policy generally precludes

prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001 of persons who respond
untruthfully to investigative inquiries, it does authorize
prosecution for fal se "volunteered reports ," i.e ., false
reports in the first instance which genera te investigations.

It is quite possible that the Oswald letter is a ~

hoax. Nelson Bunker Hunt suspects \ of being respon- \j
sible and Departmental attorneys connected with the Hunt
wiretapping prosecution do not discount that possibility.
Further, the i nformation provided to IRS in 1971 may well
have been fabricated for the purpose of furthering the ~~
vendetta against the Hunts. While the :J
1971 incident is now beyond the statute of limitations, the
two informants have had a continuing pattern of supplying
Boren with information on the Hunts. Accordingly, the argument
exists that the 1971 incident could still b e reached in a
prosecution for an ongoing conspiracy to provide false infor-
mation .
While there is arguably sufficient l egal basis for the

submiss ion of an (i) ( 2 ) letter predicated on 18 U. S.C. 1001,
we doubt the wisdom of pursuing such a course . The need for
obtaining such IRS documents seems mooted by the fact that \ 11
the Bureau has now interviewed both \ and ' ~fU.
and has checked out the leads obtained therefrom. The two
men provided little relevant information and nothing of value
that was verifiable . In view of their s trong feelings against
the Hunts, it is most unlik e ly that they would have withheld
from the Bureau any valid information that they have heretofore
provided IRS agent I__ According l y , while we have prepared b~
an (i) ( 2) letter for your consideration (attached) , we
recommend against its submission to IRS on the grounds that
it is now unnecessary and it would leave us open to criticism
that we based our discovery request on a contrived theory .
b. Conducting an Interview of U . S . Probation

Officer Roger C . Carroll
Eugene Braden ha s advised the Bureau that he was

approximately one block from the Federal Building when the
Kennedy motorcade passed and that irrunediately thereafter he
entered that building a nd met with probation officer
If this is verified by -- it tends to remove Braden
from the area of the Texas Book Depository at the time of
the shooting.

following: On Decmaber 9, 1976, an IRS agent stationed in

Nelaon Bwlker Bn.Dt. The f>urported letter is dated November 8,

Hunt states that he had n ev er been in Dallas until 1971, with a possible
exception of a change of planes on his way to Mexico wi-th his family in
1960 . He does not recall whether that change of planes took plac.e in
Dallas or in Houston. In any event, he and his fai:nily':never left t.he
airport on that occasion.
.,.
'
He has never had any con t act, d irectly o: indirectly, with Lee Harvey
Oswald, Jack Ruby or an y one else thou gh t to have been associated with
the assassination of the Preside nt.
He was never in New Orleans in 1963 and has never had anything whatever
to do with the Fair Play fo r Cuba C0mmittee, which he identifies as a
communist organization.
During the period from January 1962 to 19 6 5, he traveled once or twice

per year to India, two or three times per year to Paris, once or twice
per year to London, and, during that period, he traveled two or three
times to Rome. His only domestic travel in 1963 was betwee n Washington
and New York. All trav e l, whether do:-nestic or international, was i:1 his
own name.
Hunt states that in 1961 he used the pseudonym of n

school on upper Wisconsin Avenue and picked up their younger daughter, ,.
,
Kevan. Kevan told them that Robert and Courtenay Kennedy, children of 1-
~
Attorney General Robert Kennedy, were students in the same school and
had been picked up by the Secret Service. The children in the school
knew that the President had been shot.
Mr. Hunt states that the following pers ons are witness.es to the fact that
he was here in Washington, D. C. , at the time the. Pres id en t was : shot
in Dallas:
1. His son, Howard St. John Hu:1t, then te n years o f age.
2. His daughter, Lisa , then twelve years of age.
3. His daughter, Kevan, then eleven yea rs of age.
4. The family maid , Mary Trayner, now employed by a family

living at 4806 DeRussey Parkway, Chev.y Chase, Maryland ,
and whose phone number . is 652 -2930.
Mr. Hunt believes that he was either taking the day off from work as
a part of annual leave on November 2 2. 196 3, or he may have been
recuperating from a h o spitalization for ulcers. He had been hospitalized
at about that period at Sibley Hospital in Washington, D . C.
Mr . Hunt states that he held the follo,ving oil company charge account
and credit cards in 1963 and that such accounts may provide corroboration
as to his presence in Washington, D. C., on November 22, 1963:
I( Esso Oil, Gulf Oil, Texaco Oil, Cities Service Oil, Brooks Brothers
. (New York), Garfinkle's, Woodward and Lothrop, Sears Roebuck & Co.,

He states that in connectio n \•,; ith the pla:-.n in g for the Cuban inv~sion in ,.
1961, he did suggest that Fid e l Castro should be assassinated either before
or contemporaneously with that invasion, but his sugg e s ~ i o n was not acted

Attached are copies of a press statement made by M r. Hunt in early

February 1975 in Florida, in which he denies the allegations made by
Dick Gregory and other s w ith respect to h is involvement in the assassi-
nation of President Kennedy and a le t ter w ritt en to Mr. Hunt b y the former
family maid, M ar y Traynor.
Lisa Hunt confirms her father's account t h at he was at home with the
family in the afternoon and evening of :-.=o v err.ber 22, 1963. She recalls
that her fathe r assemble d the family in iront of the television set. He
wanted them all to watch the program because it was an important

STATEMENT BY RICHARD M. BISSELL, JR. TO

FREDERICK D. BARON ON FEBRUARY 6, 1976
1. I do not recall a written recommendation from E. Howard

I;-
Hunt, Jr. for the assassination of Fidel Castro . Frederick Baron,
I
i r-.
("')
• counsel to the Senate Select Committee, read to me the following
I ("')
', N
! {.!)
excerpt from Give Us This Day by Howard Hunt (New York, 1973 ,
' i::i::
I '-J
pp. 38-39):
'. 4!
· u
(/)
. ::c:
'
..i:: .. . When it came to reconnnendations re-
0
lated to the project, I listed four:
·~
~
1. Assass i nate Castro before or
u
Q)
coincident with the invasion (a task for
·' .--!
..... Cuban patriots) . .. .
u
0 Barnes and Bissell read my report,
. :>G pondered the recommendations and said that
rx.. it would weigh in the final planning . (As
.--,
the months wore on I was to ask Barnes re-
(_l ~ peatedly about action on my principal
~: I o reconnnendation only to be told it was "in
• J <J
, I
, Q) the hands of a special group . " So far as
'
f. I. i::l
·, <J
I have been able to -determine no coherent
• Q)
,.. plan was ever developed within CIA to
-· Q)
assassinate Castro, though it was the
;.·. ~
heart's desire of many exile groups.)
Mr. Baron als.o represente_d that at several points in his testimony,
" Howard Hunt referred to me as the person who told him that his
assassination recommendation was "in the hands of a special group . "
The excerpt from Hunt ' s book and the representation about his testi-
mony do not refresh my recollection. I do not recall any communi-
cation, written or oral, with Howard Hunt regarding assassination .
However, I do not dispute Mr. Hunt's testimony that I received such
a communication.
1~
2. In particular, I do not recall telling Howard Hunt or
anyone else that planning for the assassination of Castro was "in
the hands of a special group." I can only speculate that I would
have been ref erring to the operation of Sheffield Edwards and Jim
I :.
O'Connell to develop a means of assassinating Castro. I do not
believe that any such remark would have referred to the Special
Group of the National Security Council.

16 what has happened to my recommendation, and he said, well,

17 it's in the hands of the special group.
And from th&t ti.me on I never inquired further. Sub~

21 a target of opportunity. But that was not the ma.in effort.

9 note of it, but I don't have it with . me
10 Senator Ba ker . Could you supply a copy of that written
11 note for our rec ord? Would you do that?
12 Mr . Prouty . Yes, sir, I can.
13 Senator Baker. When, whe r e and who was present.
14 Mr . Prouty. The date was in either February or March of
15 1971. It was i n the offices of the Mullen Company. The
16 man I went to see was Bob Bennett . After a brief talk ,
17 primarily with what I wanted done , he said, well, I have a
18 man that can help you with that. And he called in an office
19 and said, Howard. And Howard came out, and it was Howard
20 . Hunt .

10 Mr. Madig a n. Do you have a recollection whether it
11 was Bennett or Hunt that indicated that Butterfield . was
12 there?
13 Mr. Prou t y. Bennett .
14 Mr . Madigan. Did they use the word contact, to your
15 best recollection, of what they said?
16 Mr. Prou ty. If they did it would be like the verbal
17 contact , he is the man to contact, that kind of thing. It
18 was the only· name they mentioned.
19 Now, there has been this big emphasis on the role of con-
20 tact, you know. After putting in weeks of work, and
21 researching to find who was going to do the job for us, and
22 after getting there for not other reason than to get a firm
23 that would contact the White House, I really don't think I

6 - me if I could pay them for it, so that they could set up a
7 relationship that would carry the work through in case it took
8 a period of time. They didn't know how :soon the ad agency
._g would agree to do this.
10 We talked business.There was absolutely no doubt in my
11 mind that the reason I was there was to get the contact.
12 Mr. Madigan. Did Hunt indicate a knowledge of Butter-
13 field himself? Did he know Butterfield? Did you get the im-
14 pression that both Bennett and Hunt knew him?
15 Mr. Prouty. Hunt I doubt said three words. And as we
16 left the door he said, this is my first week or my first two
17 weeks here, and frankly, I am new, and it will be my first
18 account if I . get the account.
19 Bennett was doing the talking. And Hunt definitely was
20 in fact, through his door I could see a lot of electronic

10 Mr. Prouty. I don't think that the subject involving
11 CIA came up at all until I had lunch with Hunt.
12 Senator Baker. Before you get to the luncheon with
13 Hunt, I believe it is alleged that you said the Mullen

0 3 These were essentially , :CIA contract work for technical

4 equipment, highly soph isticated technical equipment. And as
5 the Agency went into the space age, it became even more so.
6 Now, this was true of many aircraft companies, and this
7 was one of the reasons that the Air Force provided cover for
8 the AGency, so that they could, like the U-2 program, get it
9 done within a company, and the company would think it was
10 Air Force, and it was really U-2, or where we would be pulling
11 old aircraft out of mothball f l ee t and rehabilitating them for
12 Agency use like in INdonesia, we ll, we would cover that as an

3 Going back to the time that you said you knew him while he was
4 with the Agency , how would you categorize his position?·
5 Mr. Prou t y. All right, let me ~ell you something that
6 will help you realize that he is a very highly placed person.
7 But he was not highly placed like on the hierarchy scale , he
8 was highly placed by his connections.
9 I have a very close friend, and have had for many years,
10 who was also h i ghly placed in the Agency, who told me that .

14 Mr. Prouty. Position -- who told me that Howard Hunt
15 is the real author of Allen Dulles book called "The· Craft of
16 Intelligence". And! believe this. I have no reason to
17 deny it because there is much in "The Craft of Intelligence"
18 that is written in the Howard Hunt style.
19 But Hunt was an intimate of Allen Dulles. Now, I

II

0 3 Anderson. I
I
f I
I
4 Mr. Baron. And you also said that it was your impression !
5 during that first talk with Colson that he had recently · spoken
6 withithe President.
7 How did you receive that impression?
8 Mr. Hunt. Well, Colson was normally a highly controlled
..i: 9 individual. He could be terse, jovial. He controlled himself

0
.,.;
.u
10 with marked skill. He was agitated when he called me in, sort
u
QJ
rl
rl 11 of talking to me and rifling through papers on his desk, ' which

was very much unlike him, and the inference that· I drew from
>.
.. 0
« 13
p.
( that was that he had just had a conversation with the President.
0 ~
u '
14 So when I accept ed the assignment, I assumed, as I usually do
15 with Colson, that he was either reflecting the desires of the
16 Chief Executive , or else that he as a prescient staff officer,
l? was attempting to find a solution to a problem that was troubli I g
18 his chief·,
,.,

N 19 So I could put two interpretations on it, that either he
u
ci
c0 20 had been asked to do something about Anderson to discredit the
a.
c I
s 21 columnist, or that he had listened to the Chief Executive rave j
i

23 is really up to me, and a good -- as a good staff officer, I'll

Dear A.J.,
After six months, the Liberty Lobby case arrived in Miami, but only
partially. Volumes 1,2,3 of 5, and volumes 1,6,8 of 12 were
missing. The clerk of the Southern District of Florida tells me
that the records center in Atlanta sent only box one of two. There
was a criminal case miss-filed in with the LL case. What a mess.
The court docket only indicates five depositions:
Carto ••• • •.•••• Dec 7, 1991

DeRemer •...•••• Dec 7, 1981
Kuzmuk ......... Dec 7, 1981
Turner ......... Dec 7, 1981
EH Hunt ..•..•.• Nov 4, 1981
Dunn .•••...•••• Dec 11, 1981
These depositions were from the first case.
The copy place did not indicate which items came from which file so
I have to verify that before I send the material on to you. I do
not yet know what will be in box two of the file, which was not
sent from Atlanta yet. (Court File numbers are in yellow]
Remit a check for the following.

Fee to order file .• . ........••••.• $ 25.00
Copies (receipt enclosed) ••••.•.•. 193.46
Total •.•••••....••• 218.46
Postage ••...•.•••• free
This is not over yet. I will pursue getting the remainder of the
file, unless you tell me to forget about it.

Dear Sir:
This letter regards the Hunt v. Spotlight case 80-1121-Civ-JWK
southern District of Florida. Gordon Winslow has been trying to
get this case now for the last two years. He was able to obtain
one box of records only to be told that the othe1- box had been
misfiled. I am the author of the enclosed book on tl1e Kennedy
assassination. I an1 about to come out with a revised edition of
this book and cannot do so until I have reviewed these records.
could you please try to find out what happened to tl1em? could
you please send the missing box to Mr. Winslow.
Thank-you
A.J. Weberman

Bill Craig RE: SDF CIVIL CASE

Federal Records Center 80-1121-CIV-JWK
ST Joseph Avenue HUNT vs MARCHETTI
East Point, GA 30344
Dear Mr. Craig:
At the beginning of 1994 I ordered the above captioned file from the Clerk of
Court in Miami. Because the file had been ordered by the Clerk in 1993 and
it was being prepared for return to your storage facility, it was estimated
to take six weeks to return the file to Miami. (The estimated time of return
to Miami was to have been about April 1, 1994.)
After numerous calls to the Clerk SDF, it was noted that the file had been
requested at least three times from your facility, and finally arrived in
June 1994. Upon inspection of the file, it was noted that a number of
volumes were missing. (The highlighted items on the enclosed docket reflect
the items received.)
The file is in two series of volume numbers, five volumes and twelve volumes.
Volumes 1-3 of 5 and volumes 6 & 8 of 12 were missing. (Vols 2 & 3 of 4
volumes of criminal case 80-570-CR-EPS were filed in the box received.)
Further investigation indicates that there were two record center boxes at
your facility that contained case number 80-1121-CIV-JWK, but only one box
was sent to the SDF upon my request. The acquisition number is 021 940 138
and the location number is coaa221 • . The second box, which was not sent, has
enough empty space to accommodate the missing volumes.
I would appreciate your assistance in locating these missing volumes. A

check of the filing bins at your records center indicates that re-filing of
returned files have been sitting in the bins for up to two years. It is
possible that when a previous requester ordered the file in late 1993 it was
in a re-file bin and had not been refiled at the time my request was made.
Sincerely,
Gordon W. Winslow
Clerk's Archives Manager
*********************************************************************
AJ, I called this guy two weeks ago since he never responded to my letter.
I faxed him a copy and talked with him. He returned my call two days later
telling me that he would search for the missing volumes. He assured me that
he would find the volumes by Christmas ...... We will see.

By WJLLIAM Y. HUCliLEY JR.
WITZEP.Ll\.l\D: At Geneva yesterday a very
S famous Eng-llshman was expatiating a t some
lengt h on all
the r easons why it is impossible to
beliere Lee Harvey _9swald killed Kennedy, or that
the assassination was other than the work of a con-
spiracy of at leas t, seYeral persons.
Since the gentleman is a r e ..
nowned Liberal, I thought to twit
him by saying, "Your mode of rea-
soning is very much like that of the
J ohn Birch Society."
Without dropping a conversation
semi-quaver (I should add t hat his
t im in·g 'is world-famous), he replied
darkly, "Yes, I have no doubt t he
John Birch Society had somet h ing
t o do with It." ;
The obsession, in other words,
was so much in command of him
Bt:CKLl:Y that he simply could not understand
my point: tha l. 1 !1~ thinki ng he was indulging is I.he kind one
inc:t.Jl1;ei; v.;hrn "riling IX•Ol'-5 like ·:The Politician," whose de-

/
officiaJ acquiescence on the part of senior officials might have been involved, rather than an official
sponsorship. It was agreed by all in this discussion that the nature of any informal support given to
Mr. HUNT would be far more difficult to d~:fine in the absence of any formalized agreements.
[signed] Lawrence J. Howe.
WALTERPFORZHEIMER
FROM: Lawrence Howe ~7
TO: Mr. Steven L. Kuhn
SUBJECT: The David St. John Novels
1...lt had previously been alleged in Office of Security records that Paul Gaynor and Edward Sayle
of Secwity Research Staff, believed that HUNT had written novels at Agency request and that his
effort bad been known to Mr. JAMES ANGLETON, Chief, Counter-Intelligence Operations.
2. Mr. Pforzheimer provided a verbal summary of his knowledge of Mr. HUNT'S :fictional writings
under the pen name, David St. John. Mr. Pforzheimer stated that when the first St. John book, On
Hazardous Duty, appeared in 1965 he undertook to identify the true name of the author. Mr.
Pforzheimer related that he checked with a source in the copyright office only to find at the time that
the true name was not given on the copyright application. The mailing address given for the author
was checked against telephone cross reference directory. The address on the copyright application
was identified with HUNT. Mr. Pforzheimer stated that after making the identification, be called
Mr. Thomas Karamessines and related hls discovery . Pforzheimer recalled from the nature of
Karamessines' reaction that he had uncovered a sensitive matter of senior officer concern.
Pforzheimer the recommended to Mr. Karamessines that 'if the Agency is involved in this thing why
not see to it that HUNT leaves his address of the copyright applications in the future. Mr.
Karamessines reportedJy accepted the suggest and Mr. Pforzheimer recalls that subsequent copyright
applications were submitted without the address. Withln five minutes of the conversation with Mr.
Karamessines, Mr. Pforzheimer recalls being called by Richard Helms, then the Deputy Director of
Central Intelligence. Pforzheimer recalls the substance of the conversation as being: 'For Christ sake
Walter, th.is is the first book to come along and say something good about the Agency. Why not leave
the goddanu.1 thing alone?'
3. The undersigned asked Mr. Pforzheimer, who to his knowledge would be in a position to confirm
or deny whether Mr. HUNT was under any sort of Agency sponsorship in his writing of the David
St. John novels. Pforzheimer replied that he was never officially briefed on the matter and that only
Mr. Helms or Mr. Karamessines could provide the answer. Pforzheimer was then asked if
ANGLETON or Raymond Rocca of Counter Intelligence Operations, would have any knowledge
of this activity. Pforzheimer replied that he doubted it seriously."
5. Tracing Mr. HUNT'S career assignments, it is noted that he was assigned to the Office of the
Deputy Director of Operations Group, in February 1965. The fust David St. John book was
1870
w<>.,.J-
. ~.·sr,A...t
JRD, about Manuel Artime. This letter asked, "Wouldn't Senator Goldwater have a ball if he knew ) J
about the Spanish ship and about Manuel Artime's wife? This remark caused to do considerable
thinking and recall. As you might recall, a Spanish ship was attacked about two weeks ago . My
knowledge of the attack is based on comments made to me by a person whom l knew while in
Special Activities Staff [Des FitzGerald's component]. The attack was reportedly made by the SS
Santa Maria, one of two JMWAVE vessels (converted Navy AKL's) I was with this vessel in
Hoboken, New Jersey, for about two weeks during the spring of the year. At the time the vessel was
being equipped and manned. As reported to me the Santa Maria was crui sing off of Cuba and at a
distance noticed the name on the Spanish ship. I believe it was 'Sierra' LNU. The Santa Maria,
th.inking that this ship was one of those on its 'Watch List' opened fire on the Spanish ship and
according to newspaper publicity three Spaniards were killed and the Spanish Government was up
in arms. As fate would have it, the Santa Maria reportedly attacked the wrong ship. The ship they
were interested in was of the same name; however, it in fact was not the Spanish ship. I was further
informed that because of this flap, Secretary Rusk and Mr. McCone immediately conferred.
"Wbat is of equal or even greater concern to me relates to (deleted). In late February 1964
(deleted) requested that I check the Office of Security Indices in the name of Adelaida Matilda
Padron y Crnz. As a result of this check I made an inquiry of Chief, Domestic Contacts Division and
from that office received a report relating to Padron ... This, to my knowl edge, was the first indication
that Padron, who was then reportedly Manuel Artime's mistress, was possibly a lesbian. During
continued contacts with (deleted), I would discreetly inquire as to whether or not Artime continued
to have an interest in Padron. (Deleted- R) is quite shrewd and extremely adept at double talk. In
essence, he replied in the affirmative and further said that Artime planned to marry her ... the political
repercussions could be 'calamitous' if Artime married Padron. During the next couple of months
Padron was investigated by Immigration and Naturalization Service at the Agency's request. This
was a rranged tluough the Alien Affairs Staff. I am told there is a Security file on her. In addition
there is a Subj ect file on her in Western Hemisphere Security. That investigation indicated that
Padron was in all probability bi-sexual and that she had been the former mistress of FuJgencio
Batista." An investigation conducted by "Cubans used by a Counter-Inte11igence shop at JMWAVE"
revealed that Adelaida Matilda Padron y Cruz had also been the mistress of Venezuelan Dictator
Marcos Jimenez Perez. Further, it stated that Padron and her sister were both homosexual and had
posed fur pornography for Batista and Marcos Jimenez Perez. In addition, the dispatch noted that
informants had srud that Adelaida Matilda Padron y Cruz visualized herself as being the next First
Lady of Cuba. »u..-u ?
WAVE Dispatch 8521 dated February 20, 1965 mentioned that (deleted) source reported
FIORIN1 bad mentioned a robbery of Manuel Artime•s house and his meetings with Miami Police
concerning the robbery.

I . was employed
,, ·by the Central Intelligence .Agency from April
1961 through August 1964 as a clerk-typist. On November 2 2, 1963 ' .
I was working for the Domestic Operations Division whose offices . i'
~:
were · located at. .171? Ii Street in Washi.n gton, D. c. My supervisor '.
was E. Howard Hunt. On the morning of Friday, November 22, 1963

r · was at my desk doing routine office work. Mr. Hunt Wf:1..s in his
office until lunchtime at which time he left. His secretary, Ms.
Margaret Amesbury and I were in the office after lunch when a co-
V!o~ker came in and infor,·ned us that John F. J~ e nned y , President of
the United States had been shot. We were told that he was dead
shortly after the first announce~ent. Ms. Amesbury and I di9cussed
whether we should leave as Mr. Hunt had not yet returned from
lunch. We decided 'that as soon as .he heard the news he would
realize that most government workers had been dismissed, and we

both left our office. • .. ·,

When we get our country back, get Cuba
back, I can assure you that the first
government of a free Cuba will decorate this
group. I consider that I'm -
MR. BUCKLEY: No, I can understand that.

I can understand that - just as, say, De
Gaulle undoubtedly decorated a lot of
Frenchmen who shot other Frenchmen who
were collabor11ting with the Nazis. I can
understand that. But I don't understand
your taking the position that the American
Justice Department is acting perversely in
prosecuting people who plead guilty to
breaking American laws.
MR . LAZO: Thero arc some things that rise

beyond and above that - love of country.
Let me put it this way: I feel that I'm in the
presence of a great man sitting here, one of
the !Jreat men of our time.
You know, when we left Cuba, my
wife and I, we left with $2.00. To lose
everything that you've made your entire life
at the end of a lon!J life is very bad. T o lose a
friend the way Barker lost his friend, the
way this gentleman recently lost his wife, is
much worse.
But when you lose honor, you lose
everything. These men have not lost their
honor as far as we believe. And I can assure
you that the 650,000 Cubans in this count ry
have the highest regard for them. Don't you
be concerned. We're going to help you in
every way we can, and you still have your
h onor. That's the important thing.
MR. BUCKLEY: Well, but it's only

important, I think, for you, Mr. Lazo. to
acknowled!Je that, paradoxical thou!Jh it
may sou nd, the pursuit of honor can require
temporal punishment.
MR . LAZO: Yes, it can. It -
MR. BUCKLEY: But you must not

disparage, necessari ly, the people who mete
out tha t punishment because, in fact , the
two do not contradict each other
philosophically, and certainly not
historically. And in any case. the time is up.
Thank you very much, Mr. Lazo. Thank
you, Mr. Hunt, ladies and !Jentlemen.

tion of a larger terrorist network that has
developed fro'11 CIA training and aid to
thousands of anti-Castro Cuban counter-
,.·.-
revolutionaries.
;:_~:
The activities and makeup of F'NLC \Vere out-

·'if,.-_·-.:_::... .·: ;~j lined by Carlos Rivero Collado, a former Cuban
counterrevolutionary leader who returned last year
to Cuba in a broadcoasl over Radio-Havana on Nov.
, 3, 1974.
11
The Fi\1LC, Rivero-Collado said, is one of the
terrorist organizations responsible for mailing of
packages, containing bombs, to several Cuban Em-
bassies abroad. One of those packages, which ar-
rived at the Cuban Embassy in Lima, Peru, serious-
ly injured a Cuban w·on1an worker. Another sent to-
tbe r~1adrid Embassy injured two Spanish workers
there.
Prernature blast
A bomb tilat never made it tilrough tile U.S. mail
exploded in t\.-Hami last year in the hands of two
counterrevolutionaries who were placing it inside
a hollowed-out book. The two, Humberto Lopez, Jr.,
and Luis Crespo, were FNLC members and the
package exploded at tile house of a tilird FNLC mem-
ber, Alfredo Sa),IZ.
T'he terrorist group, according to Rivero---Co1la-
do's testirnony, includes Bay of Pigs mercenaries;
mercenaries from the U.S. Army who were trained
in Fort Jackson, Fort Knox and Fort Benning and
v.·ho later formed a veteran's association; and a
tean1 of U.S. trained parachulists kn0\.\'11 as the
"Golden Falcons."
Three branches
To give the impression of bigger membership
and n1islead public opinion, Rivero-Collado said, the
FNLC branched out into three different groups:
the FNLC, "Accion Cubana" and the "Secret Cu- I,
ban Government." The coordinating body of the
three is the FNLC. I

4. From Kevan's school we drove directly to our home on Baltan
