At this point the undersigned showed Mr. Klipa the attached memorandum prepared by the Office of General Counsel which establishes the agreement between the Agency and the IRS concerning Mr. Klipa's interview. Further, the undersigned explained to Mr. Klipa that the only limiting factor during the interview was that questions concern federal tax disclosures and that in this context Mr. Klipa would not be held to his secrecy agreement. The undersigned also explained that Mr. Klipa was one of several current/former Office of Security employees who had been interviewed in this regard. 5. Mr. Klipa then stated that during the period he was assigned to the Washington Field Office as Special Agent in Charge (July 1972 through June 1973), he was not aware of any requirements to contact the IRS for information nor was he aware of any individuals within WFO who might have maintained . such liaison with IRS. Mr. Klipa qualified this-statement by indicating that Mr. Howard Osborn, the former Director of Security, had on occasion tasked WFO personnel with sensitive support assignments without Mr. Klipa‘s knowledge. 6.

Upon departing Mr. Klipa's house, enroute back to Headquarters, both Mr. Rourke and Ms. Grau indicated to the undersigned that they were quite sure that Mr. Klipa has know- ledge concerning other IRS disclosures to the Agency, although they are convinced he was not aware of the Marchetti tax disclosure. However, Mr. Rourke stated that he intends to -_ 2 fWh”?“!“fi"??T'?1 ‘..1‘\;‘ 1; Ii 3 -"5 1.1..» . . ' .".. .., I-.... ,1 -A r -.<~r "3"? . , ._ .. l _. J5
