Briggs)SE/X/LASUBJECT : Appearance As Witness In Behalf of theUnited States GovernmentREFERENCE : USA V. Gerald P. Hemming, Et Al. (76-371-CR-CA)1. During the period of my employment as a Special Agent at the Drug Enforcement Administration, I conducted an interview of Gerald Patrick Hemming (DPOB 1 March 1937, at Los Angeles, California) on 23 May 1975 at DEA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. My report concerning that interview has become part of the case file in USA v. Gerald P. Hemming, Et Al., Case Number 76-371-CR-CA, Southern District of Florida, Miami, Florida.2. Upon my entrance on duty in SE Division on 5 January 1977, I orally informed the Division Security Officer, Billy Hix, about the information in paragraph 1 above. Mr. Hix asked me to submit the information in writing as soon as I was settled in the Division. On 7 January 1977, however, Special Agent Robert Fredericks telephonically contacted Hope Mason DC/SE/X/LA, and told her that the United States Attornery, Southern District of Florida, had requested that I appear at the U.S. Courthouse, Miami, Florida on 10 January 1977 to confer with the Assistant United States Attorney, Karen L. Atkinson, regarding my appearance as a witness in behalf of the U.S. Government in the trial of Gerald P. Hemming.3. During the afternoon of 7 January 1977 I conferred with Mr. Hix who advised me to contact the Office of the General Counsel. I talked to Mr. Edmund Cohen who advised me to get in touch with the Office of Security, External Activities Branch (OS/EAB). I completed an Outside Activity Approval Request (Form 879), obtained the concurrence of DC/SE, Mr. John Stein, and submitted the Form 879 to OS/EAB. OS/EAB sent me to Central Cover Staff (Mr. Blandford) and then to the Office of the General Counsel. After discussions with Mr. Cohen, I called

S/A Fredericks in Miami at Mr. Cohen's suggestion. S/A Fredericks wasnot available. Mr. Cohen then advised me to return to my office andhe would contact me with further instructions. Mr. Cohen retainedthe Form 879. Subsequently, Mr. Cohen advised me that I should travelto Miami as requested and that CIA would reimburse me for expensesconnected with my activities in behalf of the U.S. Government. Hefurther advised me that being in an overt cover status I should state,if asked under oath, that I am currently a CIA employee.4. On 10 January 1977 I traveled to Miami where I met and   conferred with AUSA Karen Atkinson and DEA S/A Robert Fredericks.   They informed me that Gerald P. Hemming's case had been severed and   his trial would not begin on 11 January. AUSA Atkinson told me she   wanted me as a rebuttal witness if Gerald P. Hemming presented the   defense that he had been working at the direction of DEA. She said   they would not call me until and unless that defense was presented.   She also said that she felt that any attempt to question me concerning   my current place of employment was irrelevent and she would object to   any such line of questioning. She said she would only ask me where   I was employed at the time I interviewed Hemming. I returned to   Washington D.C. salic any.(Thomas L. Briggs)Distribution:1 - CCS1 - OS1 - OGC

SECRET16 January 1978MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDFROM: Edmund CohenAssistant General CounselSUBJECT: U.S. v. Hemming1. On 22 November 1977 the undersigned accompanied by Messrs.(Thomas Briggs) Gary Mattocks and Robert Barteaux, travelled to Miami to confer with Judge Hoeveler, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas M. Sherouse, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, about subject case. Messrs.(Briggs)and Mattocks had dealt with Mr. Hemming while they were employed by the Drug Enforcement Administration and Mr. Sherouse wanted them available as rebuttal witnesses. Mr. Barteaux also was sought as a possible rebuttal witness to describe the Agency's relationship with Mr. Hemming in the event that Hemming raised a CIA defense.2. On 23 November Mr. (Briggs) Mr. Barteaux and the undersigned met in chambers with Judge Hoeveler, Mr. Sherouse, Mr. Roger Howard, law clerk to Judge Hoeveler, and Mr. Ted Sakowitz, Public Defender for the Southern District of Florida. Mr. Sherouse decided that Mr. Mattocks would not be required to testify and he did not attend the meeting. The Judge initially expressed some reluctance to have an *ex parte* conference because Mr. Hemming had assumed primary responsibility for his own defense with only limited assistance from the Public Defender. The Judge insisted that a transcript of the meeting be made but he promised that the transcript would be sealed and, in fact, would not be transcribed.3. The undersigned indicated that the Agency had no interest in the outcome of the case and interposed no objection to the introduction of any relevant information. Our sole concern was to protect Mr. Briggs and his relationship with CIA both before and after his DEA employment. The Judge was informed that Mr.(Briggs)sole connection with Hemming was on 23 May 1975 and that he had no contact with Hemming during any period of Agency employment. The national security consequences of exposure of Mr? Briggs)as well as the career consequences were outlined. In addition, the Judge was informed that Mr. Barteaux was prepared to testify as an overt Agency employee about any relationship between Hemming and CIA.SECRET

4. Judge Hoeveler asked Mr. Sakowitz to cross-examine Mr.(Briggs)^03 to determine whether he had any information which might be relevant to Hemming's defense. Mr. Sakowitz stated that although he was aware that Mr. Hemming wished to call Mr.(Briggs)^03 as a witness, he was not fully informed of all aspects of the case and, therefore, reluctant to question Mr. Briggs. Thereupon, Judge Hoeveler, swore in Mr.(Briggs)^03 and proceeded to ask him a series of questions to determine whether Mr.(Briggs)^03 interaction with Mr. Hemming had been in any way connected with his CIA employment.^03 At the conclusion of this examination the Judge gave Mr. Sakowitz a second opportunity to question Mr.(Briggs)^03 and when Mr. Sakowitz again declined, he stated that in light of the national security consequences which had been brought to his attention he was not inclined to permit questions relating to Mr.(Briggs)^03 CIA employment.5. At the conclusion of the conference in chambers, but before the jury was admitted into the courtroom, Mr. Sherouse informed Mr. Hemming that Mr.(Briggs)^03 was available as a witness. When the trial proceeded Mr. Hemming concluded his defense without calling Mr.^03 Briggs. Mr. Sherouse, however, did call Mr.^03(Briggs) as a rebuttal witness. On cross-examination Mr. Hemming asked Mr. Briggs whether he was with CIA. Mr. Sherouse promptly objected to the question, the Judge sustained the objection and Mr. Hemming went on to the next question. The trial concluded soon afterwards without Mr. Barteaux being called as a witness. It was subsequently learned that Mr. Hemming was found guilty as charged.![Signature of Edmund Cohen]Edmund CohenEC: jzDistribution:Original LITIGATION-CRIMINAL, Hemming Gerald P.1 - EC Signer1 - Chrono

Please prepare a Letter of Agreement between the Agency and 06 (LPBLUE, which through the President of the firm, Mr. Emmett M. Steele)   has agreed to place on retainer a Contract Agent of Europe Division,   02(TOPHONE/1. John J. Murray, Jr. represented the Agency in these   negotiations. Identities will be forwarded under separate cover.2. Effective 1 October 1976, (LEBLUE will place on retainer (TOPHONE/1   at an annual retainer of $9,000, which will be paid to him in monthly   increments of $750 by CLEBLUE. The Company will overtly negotiate a   retainer contract with COPHONE, which will make eminently clear that   both are negotiating and concluding the contract as independent   parties; that the Company, (LEBLUE, will have no obligation to withhold   Federal, or state income taxes, or Social Security taxes.3. In consideration of the support rendered, the Agency will   pay (LABLUE $10,000 annually. Provision is made in this amount to   offset any nominal expenses the firm incurs in its overt associations   or support of TOPHONE/1. It also serves, in part, to minimize the   chances that auditing personnel will identify a wash transfer between   the notional facility and payments to TOPHONE/1.4. The Agency will reimburse (LPBLUE in quarterly increments   via a contrived contractual arrangement between LPBLUE and a notional   facility of the Agency. Cancelled checks will serve as adequate   accountings for monies paid (LBLUE.5. Please include the usual paragraphs of appreciation, secrecy,   and prohibition of bona fide employment.6.

At our meeting on 30 January 1969, certain additional questions were raised relative to the relationship between (Roberts) and Itkin.29 First, when did (LPGLOBE become aware that Itkin and the (Conestoga Group) had approached (Roberts) with a proposal to represent them in (Africa)? No We were advised in 1966 through case officer meetings with Roberts that he had been developing some potential cover company business with interests from the United States and England. We were given the name of the Conestoga Group) no later than 27 October 1966. We cannot say that we then knew the individual names of those involved. It was not uncommon for (Roberts) to have discussions with a number of potential clients; when it became apparent that no real business was forthcoming from this group, our interest ceased.At the 30 January meeting, we were also asked certain questions about (Roberts) financial involvement with the law firm) he and Itkin has been with prior to (Robert's association with the Agency.2. We can add nothing to Roberts) account of January 1968 reflecting that he entered into an agreement with the firm on 31 May 1961 wherein he was authorized leave of absence from 1 June 1961 to 31 May 1963 drawing $100.00 per week for that period.EUGENE MILLIGANChief, CCS/LEGLOBE

I showed Mr. George Carey his memorandum of 1955 to the Director referring to T. and H., and said we thought that H. referred to a General Hardin. After considerable speculation Mr. Carey finally placed T. as being Juan Trippe and Hardin as an Air Force General who was being placed with   24(Pan Am) for operational reasons, primarily technical information collection. Independently Mrs. Lovejoy had checked with Mr. Larocque, and he also recalled General Hardin was a man   Mr. Carey was interested in placing with(Pan Am) for operational reasons.242. The Air Force Register lists a General Thomas O. Hardin, Air Force Major General, who retired in 1955, which would seem to fit in as he is listed as an airline executive. Mr. Carey had no knowledge whatsoever of the Itkin case, and we felt it was out of the question that General Hardin is synonymous with Philip Harbin.LAWRENCE R.

A meeting was held on 27 January 1969 with Messrs. Rocca, Houston, Warner and myself to discuss the ramifications of the confrontation with the New York FBI office on 17 January. It was concluded that additional information was required on (Thomas L. Roberts)$^{03}$ and (Robert Delson)$^{03}$. I contacted the Director of Security and requested the security files on these two individuals and was advised that we could not have the security files but that Mr. Ward Greene would bring the files to the office and discuss their contents openly.2. On 29$^{03}$ January, Mr. Greene brought the security files on (Roberts) and (Delson) and was most cooperative in explaining their contents. Attached is a chronological rundown on the pertinent information on (Thomas L. Roberts) affiliation with the FBI, CIA and Itkin.3. On 30 January$^{03}$ a meeting was held$^{02}$ with Messrs. Houston, Warner, Rocca, and (Eugene Milligan), CCS/(LP)GLOBE, to discuss the operational use of Mr. (Roberts). Mr.$^{03}$(Roberts) has been a Staff Agent of CIA since 28 August 1961. From March 1964 to November 1964 he spent time in (West Africa) writing a monograph on (West African legal) problems.$^{10}$ It should be noted that this task was performed under a grant from a foundation which was blown in the MHDOWEL exposures. In November 1964 (Roberts)$^{03}$ was assigned for Cover to the (Radio Corporation of America$^{24}$ legal) staff where he remained until March 1965 and then went to (Dakar).   (2-10(4)/PV
