                                                      7 June 1966




         SUBJECT:   MAHEU,   Robert  A.



               1. Robert A. Maheu,  a personnel relations executive and
         former  F. B. I. Agent,. has been utilized by the Office of Security
         on many  sensitive assignments since the early fifties. He has
         also on several occasions been cleared for use by the DD/P in
         various capacities. He does business as Robert A. Maheu, Asso-
         ciates, and maintains offices in Washington, D. C. , and Los
         Angeles, California, where he is now residing.

               2. It has come to our attention that the Senate Subcommittee
         investigating wiretapping activities (Long Committee) has expressed
         considerable interest in Maheu. He has never been asked to per-
         form any technical surveillance on our behalf.

               3. The  first inkling we had that the Long Committee was
         interested in Maheu came to our attention through the OGC.
         Mr.  Lawrence  Houston advised that Walter Yeagley, Assistant
         Attorney General, Internal Security Division, had casually mentioned
         to him that he had been advised by Raymond A. Taggart, an AID
         employee,  that he may be called upon to testify before the Long
         Committee  regarding his activities while employed by Maheu (1954-55).

               4. The  only significant association the Agency had with Maheu
         during that period involved the struggle between two Greek industrial
         giants, Stavros Niarchus and Aristottle Onassis. Maheu had been
         retained as a trouble shooter for Niarchus. Onassis had just con-
         cluded a pact with King Saud which would allow him to control approxi-
         mately 90 percent of the oil shipments out of Saudi Arabia. In con-
         sumating the deal, he allegedly employed every trick in the book.
         His achievement caused much  consternation among the British.
         German,  and American  interests. Niarchus also realized as a
         result of this the balance of power and influence weighed heavily in
