MEMORANDUM FOR: Inspector General
SUBJECT New York Post Inquiry Regarding
E. Howard Hunt's Documentation
I had a phone call today from Mr. David Rosenthal of
the New York office of the New York Poet (212-349-5000,
ext. 566, 210 South St., New York 10002) concerning the
false documentation issued Hunt and Liddy, particularly
in the name of Edward J. Warren.
He said that the New York Division of Motor Vehicles
had never issued a New York driving license to Edward J.
Warren. He said that a credit card company also said they
had never issued a credit card in the name of Edward J.
Warren. Further, there was a bank loan card. Rosenthal
said the bank averred it had never issued a loan or a bank
loan card in this name.
Rosenthal was pushing us for information about the
division in our Agency which produced this kind of document,
whether it was "SOP" to issue false documents in the name
of real firms, etc.
Apparently he is working on a story concerning the
alleged damage caused to these firms by the issuance of
these documents.
I said that we made no comments about Watergate
from here but we had told all we knew about it in
excruciating detail to various congressional committees.
I also volunteered to send him former Director Schlesinger's
statement made on the Hill early on in the Watergate
hearings.
