After realietag the implications, true or otherwise, we immediately notified our unit commander to.turn it over to the OSI in Florida, believing they would contact. the Federal Bureau of Investigat jon, since the writer is a civilian now. Yesterday, this office was contacted by an OSI agent ark Lowry | AFB, CQ; this agent happens to be an ex-Security Service man. He was instructed by his headquarters to interview the writer of the letter to determine the names of other individuals he had contacted. Apparently Mr. Christen- sen has a long. history of alcoholism, family problems and now wants to see a "cleared psychiatrist" as he attributes: all of his problems from Oct 1963, per the OSI agent. In AuUi LOM, he has indicated to the OST that he now Fears for his life. i I: am furnishing. this to you as. I feel the implication in the letter Should best be handled at the national level.and that you are in the best position to contact the Bureau. I have no knowledge that OSI has not done this, but in view of the fact the subject was. interviewed as a.civilian by an AF agent,:rather than an FBI-agent, leads me to doubt this.

This guy here "the 203" says I_should be-getting a service connected disability for my nerves. The "link was" CO Tyou remember. How I got my ass chewed for not dropping the link.
