30 January 1976 ~ MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECTS: McDONALD, Hugh C. SF#189 460 KIMSEY, Herman E. SF#71 129 1. During December 1975, file reviews were conducted relative to certain allegations made by Hugh C. McDONALD in the book, Appointment in Dallas: The Final Solution to the AssasSination of JFK, wherein McDONALD alleges that he met the "real" assassin of President KENNEDY in the Office of then Agency staff employee Herman E. KIMSEY on 27 April 1961. From research it_is_ possible the office referred to by 2. Investigation into this matter is being placed in abeyance. In the event of further interest in this matter, David CROWN, Chief/Questioned Documents Section/TSD/DDS&T, and the writer should be consulted. 3. During the recent research, no information was developed to add credence to McDONALD's claims. The research included a review of Herman E. KIMSEY's Official Personnel File (#61 555-D), plus a review of the McDONALD 201 file (201-853047). Mr. CROWN has developed additional information concerning McDONALD from the 201 file and is holding such material in the event of further interest. Security Analysis Group Attachment: .
