4. When [REDACTED] declined, he indicated that Mr. Hunt asked
for any other recommendations he might have. According to [REDACTED]
he told Mr. Hunt that most of the people he knew were still in the
Agency, but he did furnish the name of [REDACTED] who might be
possibly ready to retire from the Agency.

5. [REDACTED] informed me that he assumed that the Bureau
obtained his name due to the resume he furnished Mr. Hunt. He
said that the Bureau had talked to him on three or four occasions
and that he had written up about a 40 page statement concerning
his dealings with Mr. Hunt. When asked about Mr. McCord, [REDACTED]
said that he really did not know McCord that well and declined any
knowledge of Mr. McCord's technical capability.

6. [REDACTED] indicated that he had not been in touch
with Mr. Hunt since the early part of 1972 and knew nothing of
the Watergate operation. He stated that he had gained the impression
from the Bureau interview that the technical devices were being
removed at the time of the arrest and were not being installed as
originally reported.

7. All of the above information was volunteered by [REDACTED]
and I really did not get involved in any discussion on the
matter other than to comment that I hated to see the Agency's name
connected with such an incident in any way. The above conversation
took place during a 10 or 15 minute period and no other discussion
relating to this incident was held. It is being reported for the record
and for information of the Director of Security.
