Maury highlighted Congressman Koch's reaction to our response to
Congressman Holifield's letter concerning police training, as reported
in today's press. Maury noted that Congressman Koch plans to ask
GAO for a ruling on this matter, and the Director suggested that
Colby provide some guidance to Comptroller General Elmer Staats.

The Director noted Advies that Hugh Sidey of Time magazine
plans to write a story alleging that Howard Hunt was employed by a

the Agency. Colby noted that this company is a completely private
concern but has provided cover for one or two officers overseas.

inquiries when the story appears.
