handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch36191 and id is 1 raw text is: 04-10059-10212 _.JL 9 June 197 3 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Possible Additional Agency Support Furnished Howard Hunt 1. We have reported ealier 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 memorandum dated 31 May 1973 (received 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 hadled 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--I named HUNT--was tracing foreign nationals. without reference to the NSC Staff. Haig is reported by Jessup as returning the memorandum with.the word thanks noted on its face. 3. We have spoken with Rob Roy Ratliffe, Jessup's successor with the NSC Staff, who states (in conversations on 6 and 7 June) that it was not customary for Jessup to keep records of this sort of .transaction, and that a search of the files does not disclose a copy of the memorandum to General Haig. Mrs. Evelyn De Pue (Jessup's secretary at the time and now Ratliffe's) spoke with Mrs. aat Headquarters, who reported a memorandum from Chief, WHDivision, in December 1971 forwarding to Jessup a name trace on a Costa Rican (the one noted above) for Hunt. No other such records were found. 7.Ir Z.ZT ,%MPD-r cL s
