            I-I-RAU(IR FOR:  Jim O'Connor, TSD/Sacurity

            SUBJECT:         Contact with Herman E. Kimsey - Jan Beck, TSD/GARB



                 1.  As you requested at our meeting on 25 January, I have prepared
            this sumary  of my contact with Mr. Kimsey since he left the Agency
            in August, 1962.

                 2.  Ky contact with K. has been via the telephone, except for  a
            couple of occasions when I had lunch with him or he visited Chief,  G XRB
            in Central Building.  I cannot recall ever calling him, but his  calls
            to me have been mostly to the office  and only a few to my home.

                 3.  With a  few exceptions his reason for calling seeis to have
            bean non-specific;  he  just wanted to chat. Often he would  open the
            convers-tion with  the gambit  f asking for someone's telephone extension,
            more than  once fol             ehteinsion, or for Dick Kuhn's home
            address.   Sometimes he would call ry attention to something interesting
            he had read  in the paper about some new technique, some mutual friend, etc.
            Occasionally  he would    mP- to be fishing for inforniation about old
            associates,  mainly thA      land Dick Kuhn:  how they were doing and
            what they  were doing nowadays, and so on.  Since I usually avoided
            answering  such questions directly, I cannot tell if he already knew
            about  the person in question and wanted confiunnation, or if he was
            fishing.   The bulk of the converstions then consisted mainly of
            dialogue  about his job plans, family, mutual friends outside the kgency,
            and  so on.

                  4.  Several calls were about the one instance when I was directly
             involved with him on a project.  It pertained to a job opening which
             I had heard about and wanted to pass on to him.  It was as a document
             examiner or a related job with the Yultnomah County Sheriff's Office,
             Portland, Oregon.  He seemed interested in pursuing the possibility,
             but in a recent conversation he had still not applied and did not  seem
             interested.

                  5.  The only other calls on a specific subject where those  on
             the subject of the Anastasia story, early in 1964, and on the Polish
             colonel's claim, 22 January 1965.  On the Anastasia subject he mrentioned
             his involve:2ent in the: case via Cleve Backster and gave me the general
             background as he saw it, including a certain intrigue  involving  Reds
             working for 'Lifa' nagazine and the Soviet and British  intelligence
             services p obrbly being in the background to protect their  interests.


                                                                          Excluded fom  autormatin,
