MEMORANDUM TO:
FRCM:
SUBJECT:
IG-
Watergate/E. Howard Hunt
1. I visited Mr. Hunt on 2 February, at his request, from
1100 to 1500 hours. As usual, the visit was social, but during
its course he expressed a desire to hire my eldest son on
Thursday, February 7th, to work on the preparation of his house
and grounds for sale of the property. Additionally, he wishes
to hire my two eldest sons for the sane purpose on the weekend
of February 9th. Both have been briefed by me on the need for
circumspection in any chance meetings with unexpected visitors
from the news media.
2. MY. Hunt informed me that Senate Committee investigators
are scheduled to visit him on Wednesday, 6 February, 1974. Their
area of inquiry will cover the extent of Agency involvement in
Watergate, and in other extra-legal Executive domestic activities.
He implied that he has information in this area so far unrevealed.
3. Three publishers are bidding for the rights to publish
Mr. Hunt's recollections about the Watergate affair and its
aftermath, and a final decision on who will do so will probably
be reached this week. He has a subsequent work in mind, a more
extensive memoire which will recount many of his activities on
behalf of CIA.
