A7.ent ?apich advised McCone that LP had a piece of business --2
which neck(i ironing out beforP the end of the year. The Agent ex-
nlnined thnt since the assassination of rresident Kennedy, there
have 5een various types of stories circulated concerning the case

f ,LicCone.was then told that he was charged with being the
1 kource of information conveyed to a high GoVernment official and to
! Drew Pearson in that he, McCone, had stated that CIA had uncovered
I
. a plot in Mexico City indicating that Lee Harvey Oswald had receiver
: $6,500 to assassinate President Kennedy. The Agent elaborated by
i
1 stating that if this were true, McCone had endeavored to leave the
impression with certain people that CIA had developed information not
!known to the Bureau and, in essence, made the Bureau look ridiculous.
I The Agent advised that if McCone had made such statements, we could
. ,only assume that he was femploying vicious and underhanded tactics
i
� ;since he and officials of his agency fully well knew that the story
i 'concerning the $6,500 had been proved to be absolutely false. McCone's
rjattention was directed to the Alvarado interrogation, Alvarado's

corroboration of the polygraph.6)
McCone was very visibly incensed and left the impression
that he might at any moment ask the Agent to leave. After pausing
a few moments, he made the following statements:61
(1) He stated that he has never talked to Drem2e2xson
in bis li2e.; that he has never sent any kind of mevgage,to
ZIEEpon directly or indirectly_and that he does not havA_Any
interT4Jkof communicatinct with Pearson. He briefly referred
to the fact that he has been the tarret of attacks by Pearson,
one of these occurring within the last two weeks.6.;)
(2) With regard to the Z16,500 story," McCone advised
1 that as soon as the original report WS received from his
people in Mexico City, he contacted Pre41-4Ant Johnson and
informed him of the development. He explained to the Presi-
dent that this was a matter which required intensive interro-
gation of Alvarado and that CIA had coordinated very closely
with the FBI. He told the President that Alvarado would be
kept in a. safe house by CIA until the FBI was satisfied that
. , all necessary investigative action had taken place.-1
(3) McCone advised that he has not been critical of the
1 Bureau; that if he had any criticism he would confer directly
� with the Bureau and not get inVolved in malicious gossip. He
commented that in connection with the Oswald case, he has
encountered people who have been critical of the Bureau dnd
the Secret Service and he, McCone, has gone to the defense
of both agencies. (5

Historical Review Group
Center for the Study of Intelligence

Authenticity of Document
1. This is in response to your request to this office
to review the attached document and advise if it is a valid
Agency document or something made up using an Agency reports
format and information either entirely made up or from other
sources. The 3 August 1962 document purports to tie Dorothy
Kilgallen, Marilyn Monroe and former Attorney General,
Robert Kennedy, together with knowledge of an number of
matters, including the plot to kill Castro.
2. Those Agency officers who have reviewed the
document consider it to be fra ulent. While the format
resembles a "reports" form used in the 1960's, the
substantive igormation and presentation is foreign to
normal presentaion or collection efforts. Also, the control
stamps and other administrative items are not typical of CIA
reports written during the 1960's.
3. If you have any further questions in this regard,
please call me directly at [phone].

discussions with representatives of the Review Board
concerning withholding the identities of FBI confidential
informants. In the course of those negotiations, FBI
officers advise they are increasingly concerned about being

names, of three former Soviet agents. Given that view, they
believe it would assist their overall efforts and

a. "TOPHAT" also encrpyted as BOURBON;" true name
is provided on sepale attachment.

considering for release. Two of them are CIA documents
found in the FBI JFK file. HRG has been unable to locate
these documents in the CIA JFK collection.
5. Please provide DO views on the FBI proposal.
