[380]Paris for he and his family to renew their
[381]Spanish visas. All of this advance was fully .
[382]accounted for. However, in his accounting,
[384]one item appeared unusual, It was an.
[385]expenditure of §1,600 for a sensitive | a
[386]operation which was approved for. write-off by Mr.

[394]4. At the beginning of his non-official cover tour, it
[395]The
[397]was necessary to establish a bank account in his name.

[400]Chase Manhattan Bank in Mr. Hunt's name to receive all non-
[401]salary payments. (Mr. Hunt had-an account at Riggs National
[402]his salary and.allowance payments). The:

[539]A memo was prepared and sent to the COS, Jim Noel

[804]“.. his néw assignment as DC/DCD.. I told him generally about our
[805]“attempt to reconstruct Howard Hunt's assignments and financial
[806]transactions, and asked him particularly for recollections he may
[807]"Rave of Hunt's assignment in Spain in mid-1965 to the fall of 1966. -
[809]- 2, Halpern said that Hie has no recollection about such an
[810] aSsigament. In June 1965 he moved from WH Division with Des
[811]FitzGerald when he became the DD/P.. At. about that time , Do, ;
[812]Halpern's father died and he was ia New. York for the funeral ~° lobe
[813]and ten days of religious observations following that.- He was back Se i .
[815]-_ In mid-June and in and out from then on as he got ready to attend
[816]’ the National War College which began in August. He did not: return
[817]to, that office until the end of June 1966. . : Be,
[819]can 3. Halpern observed that during this period Karamessines
[820]” was ADDP, with Helms moving up to ‘be DDCI. He thought it entirely —
[821]a ‘possible that Helms and Karamiessines could have handled this =~":
[823]on their own.
[825]"4. “Halpern said that Evan Packer had come inte thie office
[826]of the. DD/P skortly before Helms ‘became DDCI, and had returned :
[827]from Henolulu for that purpose, He stayed'on for FitzGerald until
[828]Halpérn returned from the National War College: He suggésted |
[830], Someone might talk to Evan Parker who may have known something
[831]abaut it (although he may not).. ‘He also suggested talking to Georgia.”
