I
4
(Internal Use Only - LLM) Met with Congressman John O.
I
1.
Marsh (D. , Va.) in the Capitol regarding his letter to Mr. Helms
concerning the upcoming Tenth Anniversary of the Hungarian Revolt. 0
Mr. Marsh indicated that he would not expect a written reply to his
letter from Mr. Helms; that he had sent the letter to some 25 different
addressees; and he, Marsh, will be mounting a campaign in Congress,
which will receive support from both sides of the aisle, to use the Tenth
u
Anniversary to throw light on this "Achilles Heel". Mr. Marsh was
very pleased that we had taken the time to drop by and see him on this,
4
and I said I would extend his thanks to Mr. Helms for him.
I
(Internal Use Only - LLM) Met with Miss McFerran, case
2.
worker in the office of Senator Javits, concerning the Frederick Colgan
matter. Miss McFerran is completely satisfied with our handling of
\
I
the case which she will consider closed out in their office, at least for
the time being, upon the receipt of the copy of our letter to Mrs. Colgan,
which I said we would be pleased to forward to her. As soon as I left
Senator Javits' office, I arranged for a call for Mr. Emmons Brown of
>
the IG Staff so that the letter to Mrs. Colgan could be released. (See
A
Memorandum For the Record.)

i
(Internal Use Only - LLM) Met with Mr. John A. Jackson,
3. .
Executive Secretary to Senator Saltonstall, concerning his earlier
\
I inquiry to Mr. Warner on the Amelia Earhart matter. I told Mr.
Jackson that there was absolutely no connection between Miss Earhart
1
and intelligence, and he said that this confirmed what he had heard from
other sources. I further indicated that while we have no information on
the subject, it is our understanding that the Department of State may have
some information which may or may not be usefuly; and Mr. Jackson
1
. said he would check with the Department. '
i

of 1'. J. Sourwineblnternal Security Subcommittee, delivered the July
