<p>Hunt has gone before committees. The <ent type='PERSON'>Rockefeller</ent> Committee, I believe he was

before <ent type='ORG'>the Church Committee</ent>, and before <ent type='ORG'>the House Select Committee</ent>. Nobody

they feel he wasn't involved. Or you can look at it and say the committee

classified information. Well, if the testimony vindicates <ent type='PERSON'>Hunt</ent> and provides

<p>FD: Do you believe it possible that the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> knows where Hunt was Nov. 22,

1963, but just do not want to release that information?</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><ent type='PERSON'>Marchetti</ent>: That's my guess. I think that subsequently, by now, the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> may
|
||||
not have known where <ent type='PERSON'>Hunt</ent> was at the time, and they may not have even
|
||||
not have known where Hunt was at the time, and they may not have even
|
||||
realized what he was up to until years after and years later when his name
|
||||
started to be commonly mentioned in connection with the assassination. I
|

think by now the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> probably knows where <ent type='PERSON'>Hunt</ent> was and what he was doing or
|
||||
think by now the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> probably knows where Hunt was and what he was doing or
|
||||
have some very strong feelings about that, and they're not too happy about
|
||||
it. But whatever it was, and is, that <ent type='PERSON'>Hunt</ent> was involved in, it seems to be,
|
||||
it. But whatever it was, and is, that Hunt was involved in, it seems to be,
|
||||
or would appear, that he was in or around <ent type='GPE'>Dallas</ent> about the time of the
|
||||
assassination, involved in some kind of clandestine activity. It may have
|
||||
been an illegal clandestine activity, even something the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> was unaware of.
|
||||
The <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> acts very strangely about this. The <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> will not give <ent type='PERSON'>Hunt</ent> any help.

He got no help at all from the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> in the preparation of his case against us

or in the presentation of his case. They just left him out there. Hunt
|

managed to scrounge up a couple of his <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> friends who on their own were
|

willing to give some help, but caved in right away. One guy didn't testify.
|

Another guy gave a stupid deposition in the middle of the night to us
|

(laughs) which wasn't worth the paper it was written on.</p>
|

|

<p><ent type='PERSON'>Helms</ent> gave a deposition which said nothing. No way would he go out on a limb
|

for <ent type='PERSON'>Hunt</ent>. In my own mind, I have a feeling that the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> knows where <ent type='PERSON'>Hunt</ent> was
|
||||
for Hunt. In my own mind, I have a feeling that the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> knows where Hunt was
|
||||
and what he was doing, and while they're not going to prosecute him for a lot
|
||||
of reasons, they're involved in the cover-up themselves and don't want to
|
||||
bring any embarrassment upon the agency. On the other hand, they feel if he
|
||||
screws around and gets his own mit in the ringer, that's his own fault, and
|
||||
we can cover our ass. <ent type='PERSON'>Hunt</ent>, for his own part, apparently feels he has some
|
||||
we can cover our ass. Hunt, for his own part, apparently feels he has some
|
||||
sort of pressure on the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> that while it might not be strong enough to bring
|

them forward to defend him before any committee or in a court of law, its at
|

least strong enough for them not to take any overt action against him. So it
|
||||
seems to me to be some kind of double graymail. <ent type='PERSON'>Hunt</ent>'s graymailing the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> on

<p>FD: You mentioned that it is possible the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> is withholding information on

<ent type='PERSON'>Hunt</ent>'s whereabouts Nov. 22, 1963. The <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> has been accused many times in the
