Hall of the Internal Security Division, Department of Justice, have been in contact with Colonel King, WH, and Mr. Houston, rela- tive to testimony subject may give in court on the Eugene Dennis case. It was agreed between Colonel King, Mr. Houston, and myself that subject's testimony might very well involve this Agency if the defense counsel tried to inject into the court record subject's employment with this Agency for the past several -years. King advised that subject's cover is not very strong and the CIA re- lationship might well be established in court. Subject would came under heavy . attack from the defense counsel in view of his having served as an informnt to the FBI. 3. It was agreed that Foley and Hall of “Justi will be contacted and advised that.we will bring the subject from (Panama jto the States for an interview by Justice and the FBI.on this matter if they so desire, with the request that they endeavor to find other witnesses who can provide the necessary testimony without the necessity of calling this subject for court appearance.
