14 August 198) MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Telephone Conversation with Gordon Novel . Gordon Novel called the New Orleans office on 13-August 1981.. Ronald Farris was away on Annual Leave and had arranged to have his calls forwarded automatically to the Houston Field Office's listed telephone number. When the call was’ answered with: the Houston number, Novel indi- cated that he was calling the New Orleans office. He was told that Farris was out of the office for a week and his calls were being relayed to Houston. Novel asked how he would go about obtaining his personal Agency file under the Freedom of Information Act. He was told that he should © _address a letter to Freedom of Information Coordinator with his request. ~ He then indicated that he -had done this already, and the information sent to him was so severely edited and sanitized that it was difficult to make sense of it. He -did, however, discover. that. it contained information that: was erroneous and he asked how to go about refuting: the misinformation and/or correcting the file. It was-suggested.that he write a letter . -- detailing the discrepancies and request that a change be made. He did “not seem interested in doing that and promptly changed his line of questioning. He asked how he would go about contacting the Director of the Agency directly. .He was told that he should use the local represent- ative, Mri Farris, to relay any information he might wish to get to the Director. . Novel indicated that he had only talked to Farris once, but was anxious to bypass the usual channels to avoid having his information . mishandled or misconstrued. He was told that Farris was a highly. qualified. representative of the Agency and the proper individual to contact regarding information he wished to get to the Director's attention. He gave a.small sinister chuckle and replied, "We'll see about that," then hung up. ; eam a . > a 2 i“ : . - e a “¢ "Ce ek / { omen ve -f CO fmm : Colleen R.

13-00000 © 29 April 1977 MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Security Analysis Group FROM - : Raymond M. Reardon | SUBJECT ..,Pending Litigation - Gordon Novel 1. Gordon. Novel is a somewhat notorious figure who first came to the attention of this Agency during the . Garrision Investigation into the assassination of ‘President Kennedy. ~-From time to time. he has claimed.to be a CIA employee. or to be. acting on behalf of the CIA. He has never been employed by the Agency and has had no contacts with the Agency except for occasional visits to - Domestic Collection Division offices. He has been in several scrapes with the law, most recently in October 1976 when he was on trial for conspiracy to: firebomb several buildings in New Orleans.. Mr. Novel has now “ filed a civil.:suit-claiming alleged: violations of his rights and interference with his personal affairs. He is not suing..the Agency but he has named Mr. Howard -- Osborn as a defendant. Mr. Osborn has been in touch with the Office of.General Counsel seeking representation by_ the Justice Department since he feels his being named in” the suit probably resulted from his official duties with the Agency. a -- 2. On. 27 Y April 1977. Mr. George Jameson of the Office of General Counsel contacted the undersigned to inquire whether we had a-file on Novel and if the file showed any reason why Mr. Novel should have named Mr. Osborn as a defendant in the suit. Mr. Jameson was given a rundown on the nature of the information in -Novel's file and was also provided with Mr. Osborn's retirement date, #6-—Februery—1074. Mr. Jameson mentioned that most of the(alieged activities complained about by > -E2 IMPDET CL BY 007472
13-00000 Novel occurred in 1975 and there is no apparent reason for Novel having singled out Mr. Osborn as a defendant. Mr. Jameson also requested traces on two individuals who are alleged O have. been involved in this matter-- these individuals. 3. Mr Jameson indicated that we would probably: be receiving a formal request for pertinent information SL as this case develops, but he merely needed.a preliminary reading in order to determine if Mr.. Osborn should be defended by the Department of Justice in this litigation. Aside from indexing the names of Blanscett and.Pfiffer to . -- Novel's file, no further action is contemplated by the 7 undersigned. “ Raymond M. Reardon Security Analysis Group - cc: Osborn File

NOVEL Claimed this was a CIA operation but later his — attorney. denied the story. SOURCE: Numerous news items > the latest dtd in October 1967. OS INDICES RESULTS: : Subject's file contains newspaper clippings dating from March 1967 when GARRISON charged him with conspiracy in connection with a burglary of a munitions bunkée at Houma, Louisiana in 1961 together with David FERRTE and ARCACHA-SMITH. To avoid arrest, NOVEL left New Orleans, first going. to McLean, Virginia where he was given a 7 lie detector test by Lloyd B. FURR, a private detective. (See summary - on FURR). This incident tended to give credence to NOVEL's initial . claim that he was working for CIA because of the Egency* s proximity to .McLean, Va. After NOVEL vacated his New Orleans apartment in March 1967 a letter written by him was found under the linoleum on a sink drainboard by the new tenant, a girl who turned it over to her boy friend, who. gave it to a professor at a New Orleans university who in turn gave it to a reporter on the New Orleans.

MAY was not to be directly | employed by FJINDULGE but was to be used in connection with his position with a private firm which handled work for the Project... The letter was presumably. written to a "Mr. WEISS" in CIA and referred to classified DOUBLE-CHEK activities in. 1961 in which NOVEL claimed he was involved. This matter was reviewed by. CI/R&A at the time the | matter received publicity and it was determined that DOUBLE-CHEK , .was created by the Agency for the sole purpose of making payments to ‘the widows of American flyers who participated in the Bay of Pigs. No connection: with NOVEL could be established. NOVEL knew Sergio ARCACHA-SMITH who was New Orleans head of the Frente Revolucionario . Democratico, an Agency created and supported. ‘anti-Castro organization. an impression from him that he was employed by. CIA.. Tn October 1967 NOVEL was. granted immunity from arest by GARRISON on the Houma Bunker burglary charge and returned to Louisiana to testify before the East Baton Rouge Parish Grand Jury in their -probe on crime and _labor troubles in the State of Louisiana.

However, an Agency training site was located at Belle Chasse, Louisiana one of the Louisiana officials witting of Agency affiliation with before the Louisiana Labor probers in October 1967 ; that Colonel BURBANK 7 was also a witness at the same time, although, there is no mention that BURBANK and.

13- 00000 20 May 1969 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Gordon. Novel #526113 1, On 20 May 1969,.the Director of Security advised that he had received a call from. Mr... Bienvenu, . Director. of Security, - National Security Agency, togarding a possible impersonation. by Subject. . According to Mr. ighyenu, an ex-Federal Bureau of Investigation agent, Mr. Russel l/, Aufrancé,93256 South Union Avenue, Alliance, Ohio, 44601, By: Hcalled Mr. Mathison and advised that a contact of his had # hat Subject had shown a CIA credential and indicated that he was employed by the Agency. Mr. Aufrance advised he called the National Security Agency to bring this matter to the attention of the highest security officials in Washington and that if anyone wished to cmtact him they should ... call him before 5:00 p.m., this date. 2. After reviewing Subject's file and confirming that Mr. Aufrance was an -ex-Federal Bureau of Investigation agent, I briefed the Director of Security who requested that I call Mr. Aufrance and advise him that we were knowledgeable of Subject and that on other . - occasions he had inferred he was ‘employed by CIA. In addition, that we intended to turn'this information over to the Federal Bureau of | Investigation for investigation since the FBI had jurisdiction on such > impersonation cases. 3. Ilater briefed Mr.. Fred J. Cassidy, ‘FBI/Liaison, who suggested that Iadvise Mr. Aufrance to report the information to local FBl agents. In Mr. Cassidy's presence, I called Mr. Aufrance who repeated what he had told Mr. Mathison, He also stated that Subject's wife is-now separated from him and is suing him for divorce in Columbus, Ohio, She has stated that Subject is armed, carries a
13-00000 « oe tear gas weapon and some kind of a .22 caliber pistol, concealed as a fountain.pen, She stated that Subject is leaving Columbus for Reno, _ Nevada, where he intends to open a gambling establishment, In further discussion with Mr. Aufrance, he indicated his source was a friend of Subject!s wife and. from. other statements he made, it is believed that his . source. is Thomas. FEF, Hughes, Jr., who was interviewed by the Chicago Field Office on 18 April 1969. 4, After further discussion with Mr. Aufrance during which he ‘indicated he was leaving for a fishing trip in Canada and would not return until Sunday, 25 May 1969,. it was agreed that he would contact - the local Federal Bureau of Investigation and brief them regarding Subject and that I would, meanwhile, alert. FBI Headquarters / Washington, which could follow- -up with the local office. 5. Ithen provided Mr. Cas sidy with all pertinent information regarding Mr, Atfrance's telephone call and all information on Subject, Mr, Cassidy will’ keep us advised. (\.A Shr _.
