MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Telephone Call to Representative Paul J. Kilday (D.. Tex.)
Telephoned Representative Kilday in Texas to seek his
guidance on the request for comment by the staff of HCUA on the
Drew Pearson article alleging Kaminsky and Bennett were under
contract to CIA. Basically Mr. Kilday believed that if Francis
Walter were raising the specific question with the Agency we
would have to consider the fact that he is a responsible
Congressman. Mr. Kilday clearly was indicating that he
believed we should respond if Mr. Walter were personally
interested although he did not go so far as to specifically so
advise. Mr. Kilday stated that he gathered there was some
truth in the story or also we would be having no problem. He
agreed that there was no reason why we should not attempt to
put the matter to rest with the staff if this were possible by
indicating that we did not wish to comment on this unless
Mr. Walter was personally interested in which case Kilday
thought we should attempt to see Walter personally.
Mr. Kilday then asked how were our men doing in Cuba
(obviously referring to the briefing I had given him previously).
Mr. Kilday was informed that the situation is basically the same
but that the cover stories are still standing.
