The report further classified this Baldwin disclosure as a tragic breach of security. It co tinued by: indicating it was incomprehensible that Baldwin would write such a sto and that the editors of the "New York Times” would publish it. This indicated that the only result can be a quick and further concealment of missile p a8 Py the Soviets and hamper our plans to develop information in this regard, cye* 6 5° ~& £GbMS The Attorney General commented that ih view of this evaivation the Killian Committee, any complaints about our interviewing a steriographer employed by the "New York Times” at her home at 6:30 or 7:00 in thesexcaing 196 certainly seemed ridiculous.

Pertinent information was obtained from these tesurs during the following week; however, recently nothing pertinent has been reported. We are continuing interviews in this case at least through 8/17/62 and a report of investigation is expected on 8/20. It is felt that tesur on Baldwin may furnish some pertinent information as a result of our investigation, and something of value may be realized after our report is disseminated to the White House and the attorney General. It is felt, therefore, that the tesur on Baldwin should be continued. . . Waltz is a stenographer at the Washington Office of the "Times" and not a key figure in the investigation. It is unlikely that any information will be obtained from the tesur on her in the future and it is felt this tesur should be discontinued on 8/15/62. ACTION: / /.
