            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 wit    le gambit Qf asking for someone's telephone extension,
            more than once for Thea  all's e::tension, or for Dick Kuhns  home
            address.  Sometimes he would  call rmy attention to something interesting
            he had read in the paper about  some new technique, some mutual friend, etc.
            Occasionally he would seem  to be fishing for infornation about old
            associates, mainly I r(Hall   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 involveient 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 obbly  being in the background to protect their  interests.


                                                                          -Exreudad from automati^
                                                                            wagrd~lg aad
