handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch10110 and id is 1 raw text is: 14 0O13-10374 1104- 0J~ NU 7 20 December 1973 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: E. Howard Hunt 1. I spoke with Fig Coleman about Hunt's assignment to Spain. I had spoken with him back in August when we were inquiring into reported activities involving Mrs. Hunt. 2. Coleman said that he got out of the War College in May 1964 (by which he fixed the time), and took over the Iberian desk. Bill Ryan was C/EUR (or was it WE Division at the time). In early autumn Ryan said that he had just been inf rmed by the DDP (Karamessines) that Hunt was to be assigned t as DCOS, as a directed assian- . ment by Helms. A memo was prepared and sent to the COS, _ (now retired). There was nothing further'for about a man wen Ryan called Coleman in and showed him a RYBAT letter fro 41Jstating that Ambassador Stanley J. Woodward would not have Hunt in the Embassy. 3. Woodward had been the Ambassador to Uruguay when Hunt was COS Montevideo. He had a low opinion of Hunt and was counting the days until Hunt left. The President of Uruguay visited President Eisenhower in the States, at which time he requested a personal favor-- that Hunt be reassigned to Montevideo. - So Hunt took another tour. Woodward was outraged, and had his revenige in 1964 when Hunt was to be sent as DCOS to 4. After a couple of months--early 1965--Ryan called Coleman in and, observing that there was more than one way to skin a cat, told him that Hunt was going to Spain under nonofficial cover. This didn't require anything special, Ryan saying that he didn't know much about it. It came to him from Karamessines on Helms' order. Hunt was to have the telephone number of the COS, but he would do nothing for the station. Hunt was to submit administrative vouchers for reimbursement of his expenses and they were to be paid. Coleman said he never saw Hunt before he went out. He knows that there was no operational reporting, to indicate that Hunt was doing anything. 3 GQkaround~J~9o Do N4ot Repo ~~24~ .:I :VI*~
