MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

SUBJECT: HIDALGO, Balmes Nieves

#65077

24 May 1961

1. The FBI liaison men (Mr. Papich and Mr. Kuhrtz)

showed me a memorandum which mentioned that a wife of a

current Agency employee working at the Mariott Motel at

the 14th Street bridge had observed some unusual activity

which possibly involved the Soviet Embassy.

2. The memo which was given to Mr. Papich was not

signed and it did not identify the writer of the

memorandum or the name of the Staff employee.

3. Mr. Papich thought that I was the one who had

passed the memo

to him.

I passed the memo around the

Office of Security and

I was not able to ascertain who

wrote the letter.

4.

On 24 May 1961 C/PSD, Mr. Papich, Mr. Kuhrtz and

I ate lunch at the motel and after lunch Mr.

Papich and I

talked to the gift shop manager and from her learned the

names of her employees. One of the names was Subject's

name.

5.

The name rang a bell with us and I suggested to

Mr. Papich that WH/4 people gave him the memorandum.

Subject's file revealed that Subject is with the project

and works for Clark Simmons'> Mr

the memorandum to him at Jane Roman's office.

6. Subject and Simmons are on leave until Monday.

Either one will call me on Monday.
