handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch10187 and id is 1 raw text is: 141 05 02980 5 24 January 1975 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE RECORD SUBJECT Howard Hunt's Letter to Gene Fodor 1. Attached hereto is a noteAfrom Gene Fodor submitting a copy of a letter he received from Howard Hunt relative to the New York Times story which identified Gene Fodor as a CIA agent. 2. In a telephone conversation during the week of 13 January 1975 with CCS/COB, Gene Fodor reported receipt of the letter and expressed his desire to write an answer to Mr. Hunt.

CCS/COB discouraged Mr. Fodor in his answer to Mr. Hunt from dealing with any of the subjects raised in Mr. Hunt's letter, and Mr. Fodor made the comment that perhaps a simple sterile acknow- ledgment would suffice. It is CCS/COB's opinion that he will proceed along those lines. 4. Mr. Fodor is concerned about possible testimony before a Senate committee, as suggested in Mr. Hunt's letter. He says that he has forgotten a number of facts about his.Agency relationship, and wonders if he will have an opportunity to review files or receive a briefing in the event that he must testify. CCS/COB said that we would have to deal with that whole problem at such time as he was called to testify. 5. Mr. Fodor has received inquiries from many places in the world where his books are read and sold, and he claims that his cooperation with the Agency has already been announced on the radio in Czechoslovakia. This latter fact is of great concern to him because he fears that something will happen to his relatives in
