For your information, the subject is believed to be emotionally unstable and has been known to the Bureau since 1946 when he was arrested for illegally wearing an Army uniform, jLately, he has become a serious and general nuisance stemming ‘from his impersonation of Assistant Director William C, Sullivan of this Bureau by renting post. office boxes in his name, by sending literature in his name to the Central Intelligence Agency and by placing telephone calls to Mr. Sullivan at the office from 41-51 We various locales in- the United States. In May, 1962, he appeared at Mr, Sullivan's office and became so belligerent it was necessary for him to be escorted from the building, He has an obsession to serve this Bureau as an informant; however, we have advised him -we have no use for his services, Because of his mental condition, nat 127 prosecution has not been undertaken for several previous Government crimes committed by him, including the above-referred-to impersonation violation of Mr, Sullivan and a violation involving his.signing the late President John F, Kennedy's name as the maker on a check in the amount of $10,000 payable to A, P, Wilhite, 62-97979 . ; 82, F5G. of et CONFIRENTIAL L2AG— 7A, . , pepanyigs: ‘TOF JUSTICE | Rr a 19| JUL 2k \ BaF. aff | downgraging and CORDS BE Z fe oth, | declassi ication j CHIMINE get Ct k Exclud from automatic | Acetmeteph nes NER Docld: 32206161 Page 2?° - ten epee eee a = ee eee z y F gp i Oo FRA & ee oN _7t 2OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 q } 5010-106 er i a ) Te 7 ” ‘MAY‘1962 EDITION P oy "GSA ‘GEN.
