the staff of Senator Pete V. Domenici (R. , N. Mex.). She said a helicopter
company in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico (she did not recall the name
of the company) has asked their office whom they should contact in CIA regarding
their interest in air contracts in Southeast Asia and elsewhere in the Far East.
The inquirer made reference to Air America in this connection. After checking
with I suggested to Miss Lakeheart that any inquiry concerning
Air America should be directed to Mr. Paul C. Velte, President of Air
America, at 1725 K Street, Washington, D. C. I added that any correspondence
directed to the Agency should be addressed to the Director. She said she was
sure the name and address of the Air America office would be sufficient.
