Note for: C/HRG
Subject: ARRB request re Fabian Escalant Font
1. The following is a gist of my phone call Thursday
afternoon (30 November) with Gunn re his request to see
Escalant's file(s)*:
As requested by DO, I told Gunn that since we had been
unable to link Escalant with the JFK collection or
investigation the issue of relevance had been raised and
that he would not be able to see any files this week.
Gunn response: This is an issue that they-[ARRB stuffL
takes seriously... if we [Agency] want a'formal requests..
would pr pare one this afternoon.. not a fishing expedition
...information from a credible source in Johnson White
House... [information] linked to 1964 and CIA...
I suggested that we discuss after he returned from the
Conference. He indicated agreement.
2. Gunn may.change his mind and send over a formal
request anyway; he clearly plans to pursue this issue. I
recommend we ask Gunn to be more specific in terms of
Escalant's relevance to the JFK assassination story,
timeframe and what he is looking for; this.could be done
either in a meeting with him or in a formal request. He has
mentioned in each of his conversations that the Agency may
not want this to be a formal written request, but is vague
on why.
3. See attached article for Escalant's current
activities re JFK Assassination story.
*(Gunn first raised the issue of Escalant several weeks ago;
last week he ask if it would be possible to view the file
prior to attending a conference on the JFK Assassination
that Espalant would also be attending].
