SUBJECT

Eugene B. Dinkin v. Department of Defense and Central

Intelligence Agency

1. This Office has recently received a copy of a complaint filed on 26 June

1975, against the Department of Defense and this Agency in the United States

District Court for the Eastern District of New York by Eugene B. Dinkin.

Mr. Dinkin is seeking damages based upon a belief that a Warren Commission

document (No. 943) entitled "Allegations of PFC Eugene Dinkin xe: Assassina-

tion Plot" is a misrepresentation by CIA and DOD of the facts surrounding his

assertion in 1963 of prior knowledge of the assassination of President Kennedy -

2. I would appreciate a response frim your office on the existence of

any files or records on Eugene B. Dinkin by 21 July 1975. Should there be

a delay in complying with this request or should you have any questions, please

contact me on x7503 or x1395 (red).

received the attached transmitta

slip from OGC, asking C/CI/IS to

act for the DDOseT passed, thel

frequest to Paul: Hartman on As

(CI 155-75) This package was

misplaced in one of my safes i

On 30 July there is a note to

the effect that CI/EXO was

handling the matter for CT Staff

On 29 August, Diana Porter

recorded the following:

"CI/EXO-office-caHed-saying

There is no record of any reply
