10. (Unclassified - ME) LIAISON/FOIA In response to a letter
forwarded by Senator S. I. Hayakawa's (R., Calif.) San Francisco office, I
called and spoke with Miss Bonnie Hunter, of the Senator's staff, to solicit
more information about the individual on whom CIA is requested to search its
files. Reverend Michael M. Kan is seeking information from OSS files on
locating a Corporal Stuart whom he knew in China back in 1944-1945. I
explained to Miss Hunter the difficulties we might have in searching our
files without a given first name; the variants of the Stuart name; and that the
OSS files in our custody would not necessarily have information on the current
whereabouts of any individual. Miss Hunter understood the difficulties and
said she would try to seek additional information from Reverend Kan,
especially at my request, whether Reverend Kan had written to the Department
of the Army, did he receive any leads from the Federal Communications
Commission (Corporal Stuart was an official Armed Forces disc jockey); and
who it was who suggested CIA would have Corporal Stuart's file, to give us some
leads for our search. Miss Hunter will be back in touch with me after contacting
Reverend Kan.
