ATTN     OSS (Grant)
FROM     Chief, Houston Office
SUBJECT: James 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 Rot, 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 Nvu-sweek Magazin'e. Aynesworth told Brown that he had
received information froms 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 wts
involvedvith'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 Brown's close cooperation with the Agency in its
funding operations, Brown asked Frensley to communicate this information
to Haynes. It is reported to Headquarters 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 totter.
