Attgcnad is the file I onoe spoke to you
about, at which tin" wo agreed to send it diroctly to
= beoause it aoemei possible that Gonoral Donovan '
might have started ox,, the covert side. It
appears now that 080 cannot use him and that they feel
any use by the organization trnvvlvea risk.. However:
it is conceivable thr, t a raarn nth his unusual ga..uali-
fioationa could' be ueuid, outside of j. SO.
I have no pi-,,rsoria.l knowledge or feelings
in the matter and vein,,,appreoiats it if you would
take over. If possible I b re you can rive hin aor:?ie
indication one way or the of aerrby the middle of
May as he is riaki plans to go abroad for the
a r and I told hi I would do mar beat to got word
to his of Bone sovt? Although he is probably ineligible
in any oaae, for your information he definitely does
not want a desk job or a job in Washington.
