[106]they operate and the difference between a contact at a pro-
[108]prietary firm, like Air America o Incorporated or the
[110]Mullen Company would contact, you deal with contact men, some
[111]of whom were military who are cleared, but others are agency
[112]who are in there.
[114]Like Gil Greenaway was in the Pentagon, he was an
[115]Agency employee, he was not a military man. So when air lines
[116]contacted Greenaway they thought they were contacting a military
[117]man, but he was really an employee of the Agency, for other
[118]reasons. But he was a contact man. So there was an array of
[119]different contact men.
[121]Now, in that elaborate context Schorr.. approached the ~
[122]subject, and he said, were there contacts in the White House?
[124]And I said, well, sure. Being the senior members of NSC
[125]we had contact for our Forty Committee work, and then 54/12
[126]Committee, and we knew who to deal with in the White House.
[128]And he said, well, were there ever any otherkind of
[130]contacts?
[132]And I said, the only POW contact was a very slight thing
[133]tied up with the Mullen Company, and then went on into the
[134]story.
[136]And the only way that I heard about the contact was,
[137]not that I was able to say that Butterfield was the
[138]contact, but that they brought up the name of Butterfield, and
[140]they said, we will get this business done --
