27 January 1965
IZ .OR2ANDU_ FOR: Jim O'Connor, TSD/Security
SUBJECT:         Contact with Herman E. Kimsey - Jan Beck, TSD/GARB
1. As you requested at our meeting on 25 January, I have prepared
this sumn'ary of my contact with Mr. Kimsey since he left the Agency
in August, 1962.
2. My contact with K. has been via the telephone, except for a
couple of occasions when I had lunch with him or he visited Chief, GRB
in Central. Building. I cpnnot recall ever calling him, but his calls
to me have been mostly to the office and only a few to my home.
3   With a few exceptions his reason for calling see-Ls to have
been non-specific; he just wanted to chat. Often he would open the
convers-tion with   e gambit f asking for someone's telephone extension,
more than once fi             .:tension, or for Dick Kuhnts home
address. Sometimes he would call rty attention to something interesting
he had read in the paper about some new technique, some mutual friend, etc.
Occasionally he would -- to be fishing for information about old
associates, mainly -!rs     and Dick Kuhn: how they were doing and
what they were doing nowadays, and so on. Since I usually avoided
answering such questions directly, I cannot tell if he already knew
about the person in question and wanted confirmation, or if he was
fishing. The bulk of the converstions then consisted mainly of
dialogue about his job plans, family, mutual friends outside the Agency,
and so on.
4. Several calls were about the one instance when I was directly
involved with him on a project. It pertained to a job opening which
I had heard about and wanted to pass on to him. It was as a document
examiner or a related job with the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office,
Portland, Oregon. He seemed interested in pursuing the possibility,
but in a recent conversation he had still not applied and did not seem
interested.
5. The only other calls on a specific subject where those on
the subject of the Anastasia story, early in 1964, and on the Polish
colonel's claim, 22 January 1965. On the Anastasia subject he mentioned
his involveent in the: case via Cleve Backster and gave me the general
background as he saw it, including a certain intrigue involving  Reds
working for 'Life' nagazine and the Soviet and British intelligence
services p ob.bly being in the background to protect their interests.
