SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 78243 DirNSA/¥5 (Mr Lear) Ft Georga G Meade, MD 20755 ° Dear Jim I am forwarding a letter from a former Security Service member. to you. It was furnished to us by the recipient,. through his commander, at one of our subordinate units. | After realizing the implications, true or otherwise, we immediately _ notified our unit commander to turn it over to the OSI in Florida, believing they would contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation, since the writer is a civilian now. ‘Yesterday, this office was contacted by an OSI agent at Lowry AFB, CO; this agent happens to be an ex-Security Service man. He was instructed - by his headquarters to interview the writer of the letter to determine the names of other individuals he had contacted. Apparently: Mr. Christen- . sen has a- long history of alcoholism, family problems and now wants to see a "cleared psychiatrist" as: he attributes all of his problems fron Oct 1963, per the OSI agent. . In addition, he has indicated to the OS! that he now fears for his life. = se . I'am furnishing this to you as |] feel the implication in the letter Should best be handled at the national level and that you are in the best position to contact the Bureau. I have no knowledge that OSI fas not done this, but in view of the fact the subject was interviewad es a civtlian by an AF agent, rather than an FBI agent, leads me to doubt this. In addition, you are in a much better position to determine where the nearest psychiatrist, with access, is. located. For your information, we placed the classification markings on the letter. We were told by dir. Coombs; the OSI agent at OSI District 14, that the doctor to contact at the VA hospital in Cheyenne, WY is a.Dr Sedel, commercié? telephone number 778-7550, extension 273.
