SE~EI -'N' Lpg 20 December 1973 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: E. Howard Hunt 1. I phoned Paul Burns, Special Assistant to the DDO, and said that we had sorne.leads that-could be followed by whoever has thi-ctioib in the DDO in tracling down Hunt's.activities during the fall-of 1964, when he was alleged to have 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 in 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, rnight be in a position to give a few groups .on what 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 Fig Coleman was on the Iberian desk when the Hunt assignment to Madrid was brought up in 1964 and when Hunt went:.to the field in 1965.. He could give the background on the assign- rnent, which seems to have been through Karamessines at Helms' direction. His recollection would give leads. I told him that Coleman. becameCOS Madrid later, after Hunt left Spain. and could proivide - information on what Hunt did not do for the Agency during that period. I suggested that both-Helms and Kararnessines should be queried. I gaveas, a possible press treatnent.that Hunt was engaged in - domestic operations (something Senator Baker is pursuing),and that his assignment to Spain.after the election could be presented as giving him time to cool off. I thought we had to pursue the matter 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 respowsibility for keeping files on Watergate. He said we are on the PLM HPLANI for mnessages to Helms.. He would advise the action officer. I said 'we are available, for any help we can give. S. D.
