                 SUBJECT: Jams Garrison/George Brown- Possible Attempt
                           to Embarrass Agency



                              1.  This confirms Haynes/Grant telecon of 27 December 1967,

                              2.  Herbert Frensley, President of Brown and Root, Inc., reported
                         to Haynes on 26 December that Mr. George Brown had received a disturbing-
                         telephone call on Friday, 22 December 1967 from Hugh Aynesworth, Houston
                         Bureau reporter for Newsweek engazine. Aynesworth told Brown that he had
                         received information from Bill Gervage (spelling?), former assistant to
                         New Orleans District Attorney James Garrison, that Garrison might try to
                         implicate Brown in the Kennedy assassination plot.

                              3- The allegation is that in some unspecified manner, Brown was
                         involved with the CIA in. its objective of covering up the conspiracy
                         for President Johnson. Aynesworth said Gervage has documents, including
                         at least one in Garrison's own handwriting, which presumably have been
                         extracted from Garrison's files. Aynesworth indicated that, if desired,
                         he could secure these, documents from Gervage for -review by Brown.

                             4.  In view of Bron's close cooperation with the Agency in its
                                            Brown asked Frensley to commuicate this information
                         to Haynes. It is reported to Headquarters only as a matter of informa-
                         tion. Neither Brown nor Frenaley expect any response.

                             5.  Haynes asked Frensley to keep him informed of any 'future
                         developments in this matter.
