 EERENCE:    ATL-4-75,  14 January 1975, same subject


                   1. On  13 February 1975, Special Agent (fnu) Austin of the Special
              Investigations office of the US Bureau of Customs Atlanta office
              (Phone:  (404) 526-7731) called and wanted to speak to the writer of
              this memorandum. We were out of town at the time and he asked the
              secretary, who took his call, to have us return his call Tuesday morning
              (18 February) .vhen we returned. We called him back the morniug of
              18 February.

                  2.  Mr. Austin said  that the reason he was calling w  with regard
              to a contact he had had from a friend of 'Dan illiamson (the individual
              who had called our Agency and who was the subject of the above-raferanced
              memorandum). The information that Austin had to impart was essentially
              as follass:

                  3.  Williamson's friend, who vas the one that Williamson. called us
             about with. regard to information on the shipment of arms and the impending
             overthrow of a foreign country (see cited memorandum), had contacted Austin
             and asked that Austin try to set up a meeting between him (Williamson's
             friend) and us (Austin and Peterson).  He had provided Austin with our name
             and phone nmber  which had been given him by Williamson. We  told Austin
             that we had only talked with WIilliamson ome time-on the phone-when
             Willimaon  had sought to set up a mating  between us and his friend, and
             that we had never met  Williamson's friend and knew nething about him other
             than what Williamon  had told us on the phone.  We told Austin that we had
             given our name and office phone number to Williamson because Williamson
             had said his friend would like to get in touch with us, and farther told
             1dm that aiace that time (7 January 1975) we had had no call from him-which,
             we saida seemed strange for someone apparently so eager to contact us. We
             informed Austin that-we often get crank calls and we don't just go around
             meeting with people who call up on some weird subject. We said  that we vere
             sorry now that we had ever given Williamson our number. We also  told Austin
             that the type of information that  illiamson spoke of-shipment of arms  to
             other countries--was something entirely outside our area of juriadiction,
             and that should  illiaaon's  friend call or had he calle we would so
             that he provide his information to the FBI.
