              MEMORANDUM  FOR THE RECORD

              FROM       Robert W. Gambino
                         Director of Security

               SUBJECT:  Robert Maheu



                     1.  On 4 August 1976 Mr. James P. O'Connell, formerly
              Deputy  Director of Security for Physical, Technical and
              Overseas Security,  now retired, called to inform me that he
              had been contacted  by Robert Maheu concerning a book which
              Maheu  is writing.

                     2. Mr. O'Connell  indicated that Mr. Maheu wanted to
              discuss  the book with him, together with Mr. Maheu's ghost
              writer, one Joseph Frank.  Mr.  O'Connell stated that he
              agreed to meet with Maheu but  wanted me to know that he
              would not provide Laheu with  any information of a classified
              nature.

                      . On  5 August 1976 Mr. O'Connell called Mrs.
                      o advise that he had decided against meeting with
              Maheu.  Mr. O'Connell stated  that he told Maheu that he just
              simply did not want to get  involved.

                    4.  On 8 August 1976 Mr.  O'Connell called me at my
              home to advise that he.had been  contacted by a reporter from
              The Washington Post in response  to the news story concerning
              the death of Johnny Roselli.  The  Post reporter wanted to
              interview Mr. O'Connell to obtain  the general background and
              color details concerning Johnny  Roselli.  Mr. O'Connell
              advised that he told The Washington  Post reporter he had
              nothing of interest to provide him.

                    5.  Mr. O'Connell elaborated  further concerning Mr.
              Maheu's book, stating that Maheu was  now in London where
              Mr. O'Connell speculates he will publish  the book.  Mr. O'Connell
              believes that the book will be  concerned primarily with Maheu's
              relationship with Howard Hughes  and that Maheu's connections
