Summary: In 1963 a CIA agent was used.in support of an FBI investigation of Jimmy Hoffa. Paragraph 4 requests your advice. 2. Background: On 27 June Jim Angleton tel- ephoned Walt Elder. Dave Aaron of the SSC staff had uncovered a staff agent in New York who had been an Agency Mafia penetration which Angleton said was made on the authorization of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy in 1963. The agent had tried to contact his case officer but was unsuccessful and so had instead contacted Angleton. Angleton had advised John Greaney, Office of General Counsel. Neither of them had thought to notify,-Chief, CI or Review Staff (Greaney later in- dicated that he thought the agent had retired). Elder then called Bill Miller to alert him to the sensitivity of the issue, and especially to the possibility of Mafia retxibution against the agent. Miller noted this and said that Pat Shea would be doing the questioning. Pat Shea then called Elder and pointed out that he had talked to the agent and had not learned about his current em- ployment with CIA until the end of their conversation. Shea placed his contact in the non-abuse category. Shea said he was-summarizing his talk in an Eyes Only memo for Bill Miller. Shea planned to talk further with the agent. 3.
