QUESTION:
Did we have any other dealings with Liddy while he was in
Treasury or the White House?
RESPONSE:
We did not have any prior dealings with George Gordon Liddy
in an operational sense. Our records do reflect, however, that in
December 1969 security action was initiated to grant Liddy a number
of Agency special clearances in connection with his employment by
the Department of the Treasury. At that time Liddy was listed as a
member of the Presidential Task Force reporting on narcotics, mari-
juana, and dangerous drugs.
Li August 1971 Mr. George Gordon Liddy was briefed on several
additional sensitive programs in connection with his assignment to the
White House staff. Memos prepared in August and September 1971
indicate that Liddy was working with Mr. David R. Young to investigate
leaks of classified information to the news media. Liddy was debriefed
of these special clearances on 22 February 1972. In effect, Mr. Liddy
held Agency clearances because of his White House duties, but he was
not utilized by CIA.
