Staif e . p < m d ~ n sW A S H I ~ G T O N - A sec ret CIA memorandum

says E. Howard Hunt was in Dallas the day

John F. Kenn edy was murdered andth at top agency officials plotted to cover upHu:it 's pre .c:ence there.

Some CIA sources speculate that Huntthought he was assigned by higher-ups to ar·ran ge th e murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. .

Sources say Hunt, convicted in the Watergat econspiracy in 1974, was acting chief of the CIAstation in Mexico City in the _weeks prior to theKennedy assassination. Oswald wa s in MexicoCity, and met with tw o Sovie t KGB agents at theRu ssian Embassy there immediately beforeleaving for Dallas, according to the officialWarren Commission report.

The1966

secret memo, now in the hands of theHouse assassination committee, places Hunt inDallas Nov . 22, 1963 . · •

Richard M. Helms, former CIA director, andJames J. Angleton, former counterintelligencechief, initialed the memd, according to investigators who m a.de the information available toth " <;u.,d w JournaL -

RGUEMENT ND SUMM RY

In Khashoggi vs . Khashoggi ( a divorce ac t ion in Southern

Cal i fornia ) Richard Nixon was subpeoned to a depos i t ion and

occass ions in San Clemente, Cal i fo rn ia . Mr. Khashoggi ' s w ife ' s

had business i n t e r e s t s in Cal i fo rn ia in order to e s t a b l i s h

j u r i s d i c t i on in the case . (Miami Herald 23 Nov. 1979)

The connect ion between Mr. Hunt and Mr. Nixon i s much

f i rmer than t he connect ion between Mr. Khashoggi and Mr. Nixon:

1; Hunt was employed by the t-lhit e House Spec ia l Operat ions Divis ion

I, as a fu l l - t ime s a l a r i e d employee with an .o f f i c e in the White
