MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Compliance with the 16 May 1974 Subpoena from the Senate
Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities
1. In accordance with the terms of the subpoena from the
Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, I
delivered the OMS medical file on Ellsberg and the Mr. Edward file
to Room 1438 NSOB. Messrs. Fred Thompson, Howard Liebengood
and Michael Madigan on the Committee, received me, with the latter
two reviewing the material for the next four hours during the course
of which I explained the reconstruction of the "Edward file," and
discussed what they felt were gaps in both files in fact and technically
under the subpoena.
2. OMS File. "The Ellsberg psychiatric profile and any
and all documents at any time contained therein, said file being originally
maintained by and others within the Office of Medical
Services�and containing the Ellsberg psychiatric profiles and internal
memoranda pertaining to Central Intelligence Agency activities with regard
to said profiles." The several gaps identified by Liebengood and Madigan
were:
a) Absence of supporting documentation mentioning
Dr. Fielding as Ellsberg's psychiatrist. (I said I believed
this had been mentioned orally to and he may
not have committed this to a Memorandum for the Record;
b) No supporting documentation for the statement,
"I am free."
Re arding the 2 May 1973 memorandum by
1) The first paragraph indicates that material
on which the first profile may have been prepared
was turned over to the Office of Security. What
happened to this rnat rial if this is so?

2) The last paragraph concerning�State and �
FBI reports with Liebengood and Madigan expressing
concern that anything that may have been returned
to Security no longer exists.
d) Empty envelopes in the OMS file. (I explained
my understanding that the 34 items in the OMS file
had always been treated as a separate entity and that
the contents of the envelopes, such as the FBI and
State reports, were consolidated in the copy of the
"OMS 'file" which I was leaving with them, but would
be impossible at this date to determine which item
came from which envelope. I said I was quite sure
that all material �had received from Hunt
and Liddy, etc., for preparation of the second profile
was included in the material I had given them.
3. Mr. Edward File. "The Mr. Edward File and any and all
documents at any time contained therein, said file being the file originally
maintained within the Technical Services Division during the time in
1971 in which the Central Intelligence Agency provided assistance to
Mr. E. Howard Hunt." I explained that this was most certainly a very
informal file from the beginning and our need to and efforts to reconstruct
it, and gave them a copy of our blind memorandum of this subject. Even
so, they felt the following gaps existed based upon Messrs. Richard
Krueger's and Stephen Greenwood's, Office of Technical Services, testimonies
and the contents of the file:
Handwritten notes by Krueger and Greenwood as
testified to and as needed for the several chronologies
in the file.
4. Both Madigan and Liebengood were completely sympathetic
to situation and they agreed not to incorporate the OMS
file in the Committee holdings and to return as much of it as is possible
following their more thorough review.
5. Follow up action as iden e. a.ove.
