Nemorandum of Conversation with Ann Goodpasture -,

Subject: IMYAK--Agee's plan to resign and the kidnapping

of his children

1.

additional regular tour at the Station, but it didn't

work out that way.

effects for the short assignment to the Olympics, so his

plan to ship the dry cleaning equipment was foiled.

4. When I asked Ann if she was aware of the cause

of the Agee divorce

Sally Jameson (Branch. 7 reports officer) who she thinks
