 Response to Cal.-in to Agency 2!adquartrs/Initial  Contact (telephone)
 with John Daniel Willimaou,  Carrolt ton, Georgia


      1.  On 7 January 1975 Albert S. Coleaan of the Washington Field
   ffice called us to pass on inforation that he had just been given by
 Dala Zeimr;. DCD Teadquarters, regarding a call received by the Agency
 duty officer on New Year's Eve fron one John iDaniel iilliamison of
 Carrollton, Georgia.   illimson  identified himself as a Methodist
 minister and gave his address as Route #2R,  sx 3646, Carrollton
 Georia,  Phonie: (404) 354-0443.

      2.  Ia his call to Agency hieadquartsrs, Williaou  said that be had a
 friend who had information. on the impending overthrow of a foreign govern-
 z:ent. The information regarded i.llagal shipment of arms from the US to
 the foreign country. Wiliamsson  said that his friend had wanted to try to
 sell the information to the foreign country concerned but that when the
 friend told Williamson about it Williamson prevailed on him to let him
 (Willi amon) bring it to the attention of the proper government agency,
 resulting in hip call to ouZ headquarters on New Year's Eve. Williamson
 asked that someona from the Agency be put in contact with him.

      3. On  the afternoon of 7 January 1975, after verifying through the
phona operator  that Wilia mrsn was :Uisted in the Carroliton area (he
.:ctna1iy lives at Roopville,  orgia, on Tyns Road, but  the Roopville
phones are handled under the Carroilton exchange),  we called his number.
a sa ra informd  by a young male voice, apparently his son,  that Wili amon
was ±ndeed a Methodist minister, but that ha taught school every day during
the 'eek in the high school at F,ranklin, Georgia, except on Saturdays when
ha worked all day at a hardware store at rnckmart, Georgia.  We were told
that he prsached on Sunday mornings.  We ware not told what he does on
Susday af ternoons. Since he was not to be at home until after 5 PM, we
called hin from our own home that some evening.

     4.  Williamson seemed to be   pecting our call although we had n
identified ourselves during the earlier call.  le gave us esentialyg   ih-
same information furnished during his  iew Year's Ev.a call. ile said that
the friend about whoa he called is a former parishioner and lives in the
Carroliton arm.   Le preferred not to provide us mith the friend'e name
and address.  The iforaaion,   however-that  which we were able to
ascertain---sounded on the up-and-.p, as far as iMr. Williamson's part in it
was :oncrusd,  for he semed  to ha a sincere and ueLl intentiuned individ-
,:l.  When w* tried to at least learn the name of the foreign rountry
involved,  'ili3nson said that his friand wiouid not give hi's that
info rmat ion.
