              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.

              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.
