DirNSAMS] (Mr Lear)

Ft George & 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.

(C)

After realizing the implications, true or otherwise, we immediately

notified our unit commander to turn it over to the OSl 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 from

Oct 1963, per the 0sl agent.

In addition, he has indicated to the OSI

that he now fears for his life.

I am furnishing this to you as I 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 0st has

not done this, but in view of the fact the subject was interviewed as

a civilian 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 Mr. Coombs, the OSI agent at OSI District 14, that the

doctor to contact at the VA hospital in Cheyenne, Wy is a Dr Sedel,

IN VA

commercial telephone number 778-7550, extension 273.

Nick,

Well after 13 1/2 years I finally found out your whereabouts, Dam, Its

been a long time since Kirknewton, Scotland, and the beer we drank on the

and the club. Had to get your address from the outfit in Texas.

• Nick, whatever happened to Sgt Prater? If you know his whereabouts please

send me his address.

How In the hell have you been doing?

Nick, I had a nervous breakdown. Plus in 74 my leg shattered in over a

hundred places. Things have really gone to hell for me. I'm working with

the vets benefits counseler, who 1s a ex 203.

Speaking of 203's where the bell

1s Frenchy? You know the little guy. What I'm going to say is no longer

classified, so don't get all shit shook. I've done checked it out.

Christ, you remember the position I worked at, In Sgt Praters section, don't

you?

You remember about a month or 6 weeks before

I left Scotland, when I picked

up a link mentioning the assassination of President Kennedy. How hard I tried

to get it sent out, and because of that fuckin Forney and Delaughter they wouldn't

send it to NSA. Since I have learned that the man's name, most mentioned was

number 4 in a certain branch of organized crime at the time. Was number 2 last

year. I will send you a form for proof of claim.'

This guy here "the 203" says

I should be getting a service connected disability for wy nerves. The "link was"

you remember.

How I got my ass chewed for not dropping the

link. Have learned that this branch of crime often will put out a feeler of

Iorthcoming things. By sending it as a practice message.

Nick it really broke me up after Nov. 22, 63. Especially when I had it all

before hand. It was first like the 202's said, Ha. I was nuts when the Russians

first came out with the ITI & B's. Later proved them wrong didn't I. That was

another first for us as I recall. Duane Bruntz from Baker trick put up a good

support of my claim] I'm sending you this certified so to make sure you get it.

• As I recall you should be able to B.S. them good enough to help me.

I know it

cost me a divorce and every thing from my wife. Christ, you remember Marlene,

don't you?

That good looking little 1/2 Indian girl from N. Dak. Nick when

you get this form send it back to me and I'll let the vets benefits guy to send

It 1n. Being a M.Sgt I think you know how to bull shit pretty good.

Also do

you know Sgt Harley and Sgt Willy Hendrickson's address. I guess old Garnett K.

Tatum retired. Wonder what gehto, he is living in, Ha!
