KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 20 December 1973 MEMORANDUMa FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: E. Howard Hunt 1. I phoned Paul Burns, Specia1 Assistant to the DDO, and said that we had some leads that could be followed by whoever has- the action in the DDO in tracking down Hunt's activities during the fall of 1964, when-he was -alleged. tdhave been engaged in surveillance activities of Barry Goldwater - 2. I-said that our files showed Hunt was in DO Division (Burns was not familiar with that title, but recognized it- as the predecessor of FR Division) and iii August 1964 was assigned to the Washington field office. I suggested that Stan Gaines, who was Deputy Division. Chief of DO Division and now DCOS Bonn. might he in a position to give a few groups on vhat Hunt was supposed to be doing then. I suggested that he be queried by cable. Burns said Gaines is staying on under contract for a while, so would continue to be available. 3. I said that Fi; Coleman was on the Iberian desk when the unt assignrrient to Madrid was brought up in 1961 anid wh en Hunt went to the field in 1965- He could give the background on the assign- ment. which seeins to have been through Karamessines at Helms' direction. His recollection would give leads. I told him that Coleman became COS Madrid later,, after Hunt left Spain, and cdold provide - information on what Hunt did not do for the Agency during that period. I suggested that bothi Helms and 'aramessines should be queried. I gave as. a possible press treatment that Hunt was engaged i- domestic operations, (something Senator Baker is pursuing) and that, his assignment to Spain after.the election could be 'presented as giving- hin timne to cool off. I th ought we had to pursue tht inatter to be sure we know the facts. 4. I asked Burns to be sure that we are on information distribution :of cables to the field on this. given our assigned responsibility for keeping files on Watcrgate. He said we are on the PLMIIPLANIK for. .messages to Helms. He would advise the action officer. I said we are available for any help we can give. S. D. Breckiridge FT i .
