o VaEGS7 On November 18, 1976, information was received by the Atlanta Field Office that Roland (Bud) Bernard Culligan, Jr. was in possession of information dealing with National Security. More specifically, Mr. Culligan was alleged to be in possession of a "hidden journal" relating his past twenty years as a CIA agent who had carried out numerous assassinations for the Agency. It was further alleged that Mr. Culligan could offer proof as to by whom and why former President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas; and that there was a’ danger to President Elect Carter should he show any dislike toward, or attempt to disband, the Central Intelligence Agency. On November 24, 1976, Mr. Culligan was interviewed by agents of this Service at Leavenworth Prison, Leavenworth, Kansas. Mr. Culligan claimed to have hidden a journal dealing with his past twenty years as a CIA agent and assassin, and requested that he be taken from Leavenworth Prison and escorted to the hiding place of the journal. Mr. Culligan refused to turn over a copy of the alleged journal without being escorted out of Leavenworth Prison to personally pick up said journal. Subsequent investigation conducted by this Service has failed to verify any information provided by Mr. Culligan and no HW 54046 Docld:32252061 Page 2
credence is placed in his story or the existence of the alleged journal. This matter is considered closed by this Service. Cae - : Reetived : Callers jottasd ae, (lu HW 54046 Docld:32252061 Page 3
