3. After completing the brief questioning about obtaining
IRS information and Mr. Leonard, the Special Agents proceeded_
to question Mr. Stewart about CIA's field offices. They asked
how many field offices there were and Mr. Stewart listed about
five. The Agents then asked him if we didn't have one in Miami
and if we didn't have one in Los Angeles. Mr. Stewart responded
affirmatively to these questions and negatively when asked if
we didn't have one in Seattle. (These questions lead Mr. Stewart
to believe that the investigators were well aware of our entire
field office organization.) When the negative reply on Seattle
was given, they asked if we didn't have men assigned there.
Mr. Stewart said yes. They proceeded to question Mr. Stewart
about the different covers of the field offices and asked about
several different federal agencies that might have served as
cover for CIA investigators. They asked about the Office of
Chief Coordinator which they seemed to be aware of. They asked
if there ever was a person appointed Chief Coordinator and who
he was. They inquired as to whether Mr. Stewart had ever
attended a Chief Coordinator's meeting and then asked Mr. Stewart
about his contacts with the post office. They asked Mr. Stewart
whether he knew if post office representatives had attended the
Chief Coordinator's meetings. They also inquired about Gene
Rossides and asked whether he was really Treasury or Agency. It
was during this conversation that DoD cover for field offices
was mentioned. It is not clear whether Don was first mentioned
by Mr. Stewart or the investigators.
4. They proceeded to inquire about utilizing the Department
of Agriculture for cover and asked then about the Department
of Commerce. When Mr. Stewart said that he wasn’t sure about
the Department of Commerce, the IRS representatives asked about
Jack Southard. They also asked about Mr. Stewart's knowledge
of a Mr. Ambrose and what relationship he might have had with
the Agency.
5. The rest of the inquiry that Mr. Stewart can remember
was questions about what field offices he had served with and
who was in charge of the San Francisco Field Office when
Mr. Stewart conducted the IRS checks. Mr. Stewart provided the
names of Harry Murphy and Dick Jones.
