MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
1. Mr. Charles Russhon, of Colorado Springs, called me
today to say that he has been working on a motion picture, "The
Gold Finger," which is an Ian Flemming/James Bond picture,
about an attempted robbery of Fort Knox in which a "CIA Agent"
is involved as the "goodie." Mr. Russhon stated that a spesial
showing of this movie for Miss Eva Adams, Director of the Mint,
has been arranged for Monday, 19 October, 8:15 p.m., at The
Motion Picture Productior; Association, at 1600 Eye Street, and he
invited Mrs. Carter and me to attend. Inasmuch as I will be out
of the country and unable to attend, Mr. Russhon said that if I
'knew of anyone else in the Agency who would be interested in
'_attending. they should ask for him at the door at the Theatre on
Monday evening at 8:15 and identify themselves as representing
me. He also said that he knows the Producer very well and can
probably arrange to borrow a 16 mm copy of the picture if we are
interested at a later date.
2. Mr. Ruashon also said that they are working on another
Ian Flemming/James Bond movie entitled, "Thunder Ball;' in
which CIA again playa a part.
3. Mr. Russkon wanted also to report something which he
thought might be of interest to us. He said he learned while working
on this film that the Dominican Republic just bought eight two-men
underwater subanarines, that they were purchased by the governntent
from a man by the name of Cline in Miami who does the "underwater
stuff for the 'Flipper' series." These submarines have a small
motor and with an aqua lung can go quite a distance.
