A discussion wes held with the group concerning the dengers of preparing such a study in isolation and without’ the opportunity for the free give and take discussions among experts, as had been the case in our other studies. I was informed that more biographic material vas available. I was requested to give examples of the kind of information needed. [ pointed out that insofer as possible, "although possibly not available," ' Gata from early life from nurses or close relatives would be useful. I agreed with "Mr. Tinney" that schoo progress, ineluding testing, would be helpful. In the same way, year books, his years in college end in the military, comments from friends would be helpful. Mr. Hunt also stated that it would be useful for Dr. Elisberg's first wife to be interviewed . and he felt, "You can easily arrange that under an operational alias." It was pointed out that the first Mrs. Ellsberg would be cooperative. 6.- Information was also offered by Mr. Hunt or "Mr. Linney" to the effect that Dr. Elisberg had beén in analysis although times or location were not known for certain. "Hr. Linney" pointed out that after ; Dr. Ellsberg gave the Pentagon papers avay, he telephoned his analyst stating, "Now I am free." T "Mr. Linney" and Ir. Young, with Mr. Hunt's assent, pointed out that the ‘Elisberg study was af the highest priority, even over the SALT negotiations. It was agreed that the further bdiographic information regarding Dr. Elisberg would be sent to us: and Mr. Hunt egreed to manage this. hz. Hunt would also make arrangements whereby periodic conferences would be held as necessary. Mr. Hunt did, however, offer that he did not wish to cone out to the Agency if he could avoid it. | 8. At this point Mr. Hunt made some comments in the presence of the group based on his previous acquaintanceshty with me and he remained behind and made some further comments expressing a desire that his presence and participation in the meeting not be mentioned at the Agency. _ After arriving back at the Agency I informed Mr. Hunt by telephone that it was not feasible for me to avoid reporting Mr. Hunt's presence at the meeting. ifr. Hunt expressed great regret that this was necessary, ‘stating that he had adequate contact with Generel Cushman end was on good ad em ae

Mr. Hunt wished to know if this could be treated as confidential medical | , | information, but could not tell the writer in what way. I discussed the | entire situation-~the dangers and the reservations end the ‘gravity of | the situation with the Deputy Chief, Psychiatric Staff, the Director and Deputy Director of Medical Services. 9. On 13 August 1971, additional information was received fron | the White House. To the best of my knowledge this was . from Howard Hunt ‘and consisted of poorly Xeroxed.classified FBI reports and Department of 20 August 1971 the Director of Medical Services and the writer met with the Deputy Director for Support concerning the Whit ve House request in the Ellsberg case end the continuing pressure and desire for a psychiatric study. The problems associated with developing the study and our continuing reservations were discussed in detail. qa view of Mr. Hunt's entinstasn, concerns existed about the checks and balances to actions .

It was also agreed that there would be the greatest reluctance to undertake any interview of the former Mrs. Bllsberg, and it was hoped that after this a written document vould mot be necessary. 10.

Mr. Young, on the telephone, stated that there was more information available which he wished to discuss. 2. The meeting lasted for approximately an hour and Mr. Young was joined by a Mr. Linney (?), who seemed to be an assistant. Mr. Young stated that the Ellsberg study had the highest priority and had been requested by Mr. Erlichman and Dr. Kissinger. Mr. Young also stated that the President had been informed of this study. He stated that it was a multi-faceted approach end the psychiatric report would be only one facet. He stated that he understood that the Agency was uneasy about undertaking such a study and assured the writer that there had been no deliniation as to how information derived from the study would be utilized, and if there were any utilization that great care would be given to make. it nonattributable to the Agency. Mr. Young was interested in knowing what kind of data would be needed in order to provide further study of the sort done‘bn Fidel Castra.” Later on Mr. Howard Hunt joined the group. Mr. Hunt recognized the writer, being a former Agency employee, and we greeted cordially. Mr. Hunt’amplified on Mrs Young's comments and stated it was his wish’ to "try Dr. Ellsberg in public." Other comments were made by Mr. Hunt or Mr. Linney to the effect that the aim would be to render Dr. Ellsbery ineffective or to make him the object of pity as a broken man. Mr. Hunt stated that he wished to see data of the sort that - "osychiatrists found out about Barry Goldwater in 1964," and he expressed interest in being able to refer in a knowledgeable way to Dr. Ellsberg's oedipal conflicts or castration fears and other similar points. 3. Xt seems from Mr. Young and Mr. Linney that there is considerable concern that Dr. Ellsberg has a great deal more sensitive information which it is feared he will from time to time periodically expose. Mr. Linney stated that Dr. Ellsberg thinks of himself as “having the white hat and the President as haying the black hat." oN ome eH 4 8
14-00000 Meeting With Mr. David Young 4. Some discussion was held with the group about the need to incorporate joint efforts in studies of this sort. A brief description was given of the seminar type of.approach which our Staff has evolved over the years, and of our need to peruse the material and to discuss it in an oral manner back and forth among qualified participants. ‘The group was agreeable to this and stated that more biographic material was available. The writer was requested to ‘give examples of the kind of information needed. The writer pointed out that insofar as possible, "although possibly not available," data from early life from nurses or close relatives would be useful. The writer agreed with Mr. Linney that school progress, including testing, would be helpful. In the same way, year books, his years in college and in the military, comments from friends would be helpful.

14-00000 20 August’ 1971 | “MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Meeting with DD/S and D/MS Regarding Daniel Ellsberg _1. ‘D/MS and the writer today spoke with the DD/S concerning the White House request on the Ellsberg case. D/MS made three points with which the writer is in agreement: a) The additional information furnished provides further evidence that Ellsberg was under pressure.-. Nontheless, the additional material provided does not allow for any substantive conclusions or understanding of this man's personality. He sought psychoanalytic - treatment between the fall of 1968 and 1970 with a qualified and ' reputable psychoanalyst in California. ‘the allegation that. after leaking the Rand study that he called the analyst and stated, “now I'm free" would suggest that Ellsberg was still involved in dealing with problems which either brought him to analysis or which were uncovered in the course of the treatment. In going to Vietnam for the State Department in 1965 while involved in obtaining a divorce from his first wife, he-had sought to discharge internal tension by taking action; his analytic treatment was unsuccessful in altering this propensitye, Ellsberg revealed secret information in the course of applying for a Ph.D. fellowship while still . in the service; he may have been involved in leaking information about a South Vietnamese in 1970 prior to leaking the Rand study. These actions | may have also been the resultants of internal pressures--the 1970 incident while he was actually in analysis. _b) -There is hesitation about the Psychiatric Staff undertaking to interview the former Mrs. Elisberg. It was agreed that there would be. -a great professional reluctance at such a procedure. oo ¢) There is considerable concern about the use to which the requested study would be put. In view of Mr. Hunt's enthusiasm, concerns exist about the checks and balances to actions based on a study if one were to be undertaken. \ % oF
