MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
4 March 1969
OGC 69-0402
1. 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_CA_M_M_M_M_ for operational
reasons.
24
2. 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.
