1. 01:14 March 1972, the Director "of Security advised
two CIA. cover employees and the undersigned that
on 17 March 1972, the Director will lunch with BRANDY. This
.rneeting will take place at the Montpelier Room Restaurant of’
the Madison Hotel, Washington, D. C. The Director has further
advised that the purpose of the confrontation will be to attempt
to dissuade BRANDY from publishing certain sensitive classified
material in his £01-thcoming book. It is of particular significance
that this luncheon appointment was made at the request of the
Director and, obviously, the arrangements concerning the locale
were facilitated by BRANDY. y
2. It was pointed out to the Director of Security that the
Director shouldibe apprised of the possibility that BRANDY may
seek audiofpcovierage of the meeting. This conclusion can be
based on-the following factors: 1
a. Recent SUGAR coverage at the Empress
Restaurant, Washington, D.C. revealed BRANDY
in possession of portable recording equipinent;
b. There is a distinct possibility that BRANDY
rnay utilize the services
a local private investigator, whose business associate
may be 1. a former MPD officer. The private
investigator is currently under indictment for selling audio
equipment to a foreign government.
