         James Garrison/George Brown--Possible Attempt
           to Embarrass Agency


HOU-251-67

      27 December 1967


     1.  This confirms Raynes/Grant telecon of 27 December 1967.

     2.  Herbert Frensley, President of Brown and Root, Inc., reported
to Haynes on 26 December that Mr. GeorgeiBrown bad received a disturbing
telephone call on Friday, 22 December 1967.,from Hugh Aynesworth, Houston
Bureau reporter for Newsweek  agazine.'- Ayneswortb 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 Jobnson.  Aynessorth said Gervage has documents, including
at least one in Garrison'a own handwriting, which presumably have been
extracted from Garrison'o files.  Aynesworth indicated that, if\desired,
he could secure these documents from Gervage for review by Browni

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

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