</s>APPROVED FOR RELEASE 2025 UNDER EXECUTIVE ORDER 14176 From: Jerry Massie, DOJ To: Guy Watts, Gen. Counsel, CIA FAX Number Guy Subsequent to our phone conversation, Barry and I met and agreed upon two areas of concern that are german to our inquiry. We then spoke to the Secret Service pagalographers. We believe the easiest and most important manner to handle the best would be to McCullough to meet with me prior to the test and let him write a brief summary concerning these to areas and then just have a polygraph done, as to whether he was truthful in this statement. The two areas are: 1. Whether or not he went to Jim's Grill to meet his plan to assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ?. 2. Whether not, as you crawled to aid Dr. King after he was shot, you saw a buff of smoke or any person in the backyard area behind Jim's Grill? We propose to begin at 10:00 a.m. Friday at the Secrete Service Office, Polygraph Division, 1800 G Street NW, Washington, Our contact person is Joe Gugliardi, his phone number is (202)435-5931.
