PERMANENT SUBCOMMITTEE ON INVESTIGATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
VOLUME 5, EIGHTY-THIRD CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION , 1954 , MADE PUBLIC JANUARY 2003 ]

ALLEGED THREATS AGAINST THE CHAIRMAN

[Editor's note. — William J. Morgan (born William Mitrano, 1911-1996) was a
lieutenant-colonel in military intelligence, U.S. Army Reserve, who held a Ph.D. in
psychology from Yale. During World War II he served as director of the Psycho-
logical Text Bureau, worked with the British in selecting agents to operate in Nazi-
occupied territories, and parachuted into France to organize and train guerillas. He
later published The O.S.S. and I (1957). From 1947 to 1957 he created tests to ex-
amine new recruits and employees for the CIA. Dr. Morgan did not testify in public
session.]

THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1954

U.S. Senate,
Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations
of the Committee on Government Operations,

Washington, DC.
The subcommittee met (pursuant to Senate Resolution 189,
agreed to February 2, 1954) at 4:00 p.m., room 101, Senate Office
Building, Senator Charles E. Potter presiding.

Present: Senator Karl E. Mundt, Republican, South Dakota; Sen-
ator Charles E. Potter, Republican, Illinois; Senator John L.
McClellan, Democrat, Arkansas

President also: Francis P. Carr, executive director; Roy M. Cohn,
chief counsel; Robert F. Kennedy, chief counsel for the minority;
Donald A. Surine, assistant counsel; James M. Juliana, investi-
gator; Ruth Young Watt, chief clerk.

TESTIMONY OF WILLIAM J. MORGAN

Senator Potter. In the matter now in hearing, do you solemnly
swear that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Dr. Morgan. I do.

Senator Potter. Will you identify yourself for the record, Dr.
Morgan — your full name and your present address and your
present occupation.

Dr. Morgan. My full name is William James Morgan and my oc-
cupation is psychologist. I have specialized in psychological warfare
and intelligence operations for the last twelve years. I work at the
Department of the Army as deputy chief of research in the office
of chief, psychological warfare.

Senator Potter. Is that under General Erskine?

Dr. Morgan. General Erskine is at the Department of Defense
level. I am with the army. My home is Merrifield, Virginia.

Mr. Carr. Where were you employed in September 1953?

Dr. Morgan. September of 1953. I was with the Psychological
Strategy Board.

Mr. Carr. Do you specifically recall the afternoon of September
20, 1953, Friday afternoon?

(165)



166



Dr. Morgan. Not specifically, no, sir.

Mr. Carr. Do you recall a meeting which you attended while you
were in that position which was attended by Mr. Horace "Pete"
Craig? 2

Dr. Morgan. I attended many meetings with him because I was
in the same office. As a matter of fact, he was my superior.

Mr. Carr. Do you recall any meeting with Mr. Craig in which a
statement was made concerning Senator McCarthy?

Dr. Morgan. Yes, sir.

Mr. Carr. Could you recount that meeting?

Dr. Morgan. Well, on a number of different occasions the name
of McCarthy came up. It is a very common term, so there were a
number of different occasions when the name would have come up.

Mr. Carr. Do you recall an occasion when you suggested that the
agency for whom you were working at that time attempt to become
friends with Senator McCarthy?

Dr. Morgan. There was what might be called a hypothetical dis-
cussion that we were having.

Senator Potter. This was with Mr. Craig, was it?

Dr. Morgan. Mr. Craig. Sometime in September he asked me to
stay over and wanted to chat with me. From time to time he asked
me to do this. As I recall the incident, he began to talk about var-
ious things and made a statement to the effect that the survey was
completed concerning our international operation, activities, and
that conclusions had been drawn that Senator McCarthy's influ-
ence was the most important factor in negating the influence of
U.S. activities abroad and that then kicked off the discussion. I
thought he was feeling me out on various things.

Mr. Carr. At that time was there any discussion as to a proce-
dure to combat the influence of Senator McCarthy?

Dr. Morgan. Well, here is the situation as briefly as I can re-
member it. The question of Senator McCarthy was raised — what
would you do with it, and I said, "Well, I don't know what the prob-
lem is." He said, "You know General Donovan, what would his sug-
gestion be?" I said, "Well, I don't know what Donovan would sug-
gest."

Mr. Carr. You say General Donovan? 3
Dr. Morgan. Yes, I had been in OSS.

I said, "There is one thing very clear, what we are trying to do
and what the senator is trying to do is the same." I said, "It may
be desirable to indoctrinate him concerning our procedure and
some of our goals," and he stated that he didn't think that was a
wise procedure because Senator McCarthy was a very clever, intel-
ligent man and that he admitted his mistakes and that it would
simply not lead to anything. Then, I forget — the situation was one
that I remember very clearly but exactly how it transpired, I don't
know. I know I was very late getting home for dinner. I must have
stayed at the office an hour or an hour and a half or so.

I want to make a remark. What Dr. Craig said — the interpreta-
tion is always difficult because some of the things he may say be-
cause he wanted to add glamour to his name by association with



2 Horace S. Craig (1911-1963) served with the CIA until 1958.

3 Gen. William J. Donovan (1883-1959) served as head of the Office of Strategic Services dur-
ing World War II.



167



a figure. That is a well known psychological technique. Or he may
have had other motives. He said that somebody had recently come
to see him and felt the best thing to do was to penetrate the
McCarthy organization, which is of course a Communist espionage
technique, and he thought they had a candidate for it; that they
were steering him into being employed by the investigating com-
mittee and the man's name escapes me now. I may be able to bring
it to mind.

Senator Potter. Do you know whether they were successful in
doing that or not?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir, I don't know whether they were successful
or not. The man was apparently very well thought of, of good edu-
cation, and had the highest recommendations. The point that he
was concerned with at the time was that he didn't know how much
knowledge had to be turned over to this man, because if you turned
over too much knowledge, he might not be able to go through with
it. One of the problems with agents, if you let them know too much
in the beginning, it might frighten him, so you get him into a situa-
tion and then maneuver. I don't know whether or not the thing was
ever successful.

[Off-record discussion.]

Mr. SURINE. To further identify Dr. Craig, could you administra-
tively put on the record who his superior was at that time?

Dr. Morgan. Well, I think it is a matter of public knowledge. In
these things I have to make a decision whether it is security infor-
mation or whether it is not security information. In this case this
is public information because it has not been in anything with a
stamp on it. The Psychological Strategy Board, of course, at that
time had both a board and a staff; then the president's special as-
sistant, Mr. C. D. Jackson, was the one who was running the Office
of Evaluation, which was the office in which Dr. Craig was func-
tioning. 4 Things became in rather a turmoil after the new adminis-
tration came in because psychological activities were supposed to
continue, but actually they didn't continue and Mr. Jackson took
charge, took certain responsibilities from PSB, as it is referred to,
and Mr. Craig answered to Mr. Jackson because he worked with
him before.

Mr. Surine. Where is Dr. Craig now?

Dr. Morgan. Operations Coordination Board, which is the suc-
cessor agency to PSB.

Mr. Surine. To your knowledge, what was the true employment
at that time of C. D. Jackson and Mr. Craig?

Dr. Morgan. Well, by the true employment do you mean where
do they get their money?

Mr. Surine. Who paid their salaries?

Dr. Morgan. I don't know of Mr. C. D. Jackson. I just don't know
at that time. Dr. Craig, I think he was on the CIA payroll.

Right here I ought to say this — that is a question of security. I
understand that people in CIA must not be identified as CIA peo-
ple. I don't know just how to classify this. He is known publicly to
be on the CIA payroll.



4 Charles Douglas Jackson (1902-1964), publisher of Fortune magazine, had organized the
psychological warfare division at General Eisenhower's headquarters in London during World
War II and served as special assistant to Eisenhower in the White House from 1953 to 1954.



168



Mr. Surine. You are speaking of Craig now?

Dr. Morgan. Craig.

Mr. Surine. What about Jackson?

Dr. Morgan. At that time I don't know. Later I don't know.
Mr. Surine. How about before?

Dr. Morgan. I may have information before, but I think that is
classified.

Mr. Surine. Were you at that time receiving your money from
CIA?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir. The Psychological Strategy Board is broken
down into two echelons. Those who are GS-15s and below are paid
by the Department of State. Those who are GS-16s and above are
paid by CIA.

Mr. Surine. Getting back to the conversation with Mr. Craig,
which you have covered part of here, when you suggested to him
that possibly CIA attempt to make friends with Senator McCar-
thy — could you fully develop that conversation as he related it to
you and his response to your remark.

Dr. Morgan. Well, it was very simple. He shrugged the thing off.
He walked up and down the room and made the remark; then he
said, "There are madmen who would be willing to do it for a price,"
something of that nature.

I kind of looked him over. My reaction was, "Is Pete serious
about this thing or is he sounding off? Is he trying to be dramatic
or what is the score?" At that time, I might add, that particular
kind of suggestion was not made very often. Since then to hear
that, as in connection with the Puerto Ricans, etc., everybody says,
"Was Senator McCarthy there?" 5

Mr. Surine. To further identify yourself, could you relate your
government employment, starting with roughly 1943 to the present
time?

Dr. Morgan. Yes, sir. In 1943 the OSS hired me as a psycholo-
gist. They lost my records. I went overseas. They found my records
in London and I managed to stay there, soliciting spies and sabo-
teurs with the War Office Election Board, which was a British set-
up working with OSS; then in 1944 I jumped behind the lines as
a civilian, close to the French Maquis, where I organized a team
of 150. For six weeks we had a lot of fun shooting, etc. I left there
and went to China and operated in China. Fifty teams would have
been sent up to the Northern China territory to penetrate the Com-
munist hierarchy but Chiang Kai Shek and the State Department
and others fell through so then I was doing other chores in China.

I was S-3 and assistant operations officer in the Yellow River pe-
ninsula. I was the officer in charge of the important operation of
sending people into the Communist territory and keeping them out
of Communist hands, fighting the Japanese. After the war was over
I went to Formosa as executive officer; then when the deputy left,
I became deputy; then I became chief of SSU, the successor agency
to OSS, making intelligence scoops on the island so we would have
the information we needed; following that I returned to the States
and became deputy chief of the training staff of the CIA; then I be-

wounding five representatives.

came the chief of the psychological assessment unit for the screen-
ing of people because I was applying there the techniques that
were used in the British set-up. In 1951, I worked for a year on
career management problems, setting up career plans, etc. In 1952
I went to PSB. In 1953 I went with the army.

Senator Potter. I would like to go back to where this man Craig
stated that he felt that Senator McCarthy should be liquidated. I'd
like to place the date of this. When did it happen?

Dr. Morgan. It happened in September.

Senator Potter. September of what year?

Dr. Morgan. Last year, 1953.

Senator Potter. He stated in essence that this man should be
liquidated, referring to Senator McCarthy?

Dr. Morgan. It may be necessary.

Senator Potter. And that there are madmen

Dr. Morgan. For a price willing to do the thing.

Senator Potter. Did you make any comment after that?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir. I looked at him and kind of figured, "What
gives?" I didn't say anything.

Senator Potter. Did he follow that up with any explanation of
that statement?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir. I don't remember he did follow it up.

Senator Potter. Did you take this as a possible activity for your
agency?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir. I was quite stunned by it. I thought he had
lost his self-control, discretion, or something had gone wrong with
him; and that if it did reflect people with whom he was working
that it just didn't seem to me someone was going mad.

Senator Potter. Did he ever follow that up at a later date?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir. He never did, not that I can remember.

Senator Mundt. Was this during the same conversation in which
they were talking about penetrating the McCarthy staff?

Dr. Morgan. Yes, sir.

Senator Potter. I assume from the conversation which took
place that he was very much opposed to activity of this committee.
Is that correct?

Dr. Morgan. I don't know, Senator, whether he was opposed to
the activity of this committee or whether he was opposed to what
Senator McCarthy was trying to do. This happened in September
1953. I don't know who the members of the committee were at that
time.

Senator Potter. He was referring more to Senator McCarthy
than to the committee?

Dr. Morgan. That would be my interpretation.

Senator Mundt. You say this happened in connection with the
discussion of penetrating the committee. Did this statement pre-
cede the statement about liquidation?

Dr. Morgan. The question of penetration preceded the question
of liquidation.

Senator Potter. After he made the statement about liquidation
and you registered some astonishment, what happened?

Dr. Morgan. I think shortly thereafter we began to close up and
wander out.

Senator Potter. There was just the two of you there?



170



Dr. Morgan. Just the two of us. The reason I give this testimony
with extreme caution, my own feeling is that the entire interpreta-
tion is something that at the time it was a shock. I discussed it
with my wife when I got home. I didn't know exactly what to do
with it. It may simply have reflected an attempt on his part to do
his thinking out loud.

Senator Potter. Did he say who was to pay the madman to do,
the job?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir. He made no reference as to how it was to
be accomplished except that there were madmen who would do the
job. He made no reference to anyone specifically.

Senator Mundt. Did this ever come up again in subsequent con-
ferences?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir. At a subsequent discussion he mentioned
the name of the man he was talking about who was going on the
staff, and I think it was one or two other times that he talked
about this person. On one occasion he said he was having no luck
and on another occasion he said something like he would like to
find a job for him at the Department of Defense.

Senator Mundt. In other words, in subsequent conversations he
did continue to suggest the possibility of penetrating the McCarthy
staff, but he never again referred to the possibility of liquidation?

Dr. Morgan. He never again referred to liquidation. In the two
subsequent discussions there was no discussion of penetration. He
just simply mentioned the name and that he wasn't having any
luck. On another occasion he said he was trying to make an effort
to get him employed at the Department of Defense.

Senator Potter. Do you know a man by the name of Matt
Baird? 6

Dr. Morgan. Yes, I do.

Senator Potter. What is his present employment?
Dr. Morgan. I don't know.

Senator Potter. What was he doing when you knew him?

Dr. Morgan. Matthew Baird was chief of the office of training
of the CIA and this is public information because it has been pub-
lished in the newspapers.

Senator Potter. When was that?

Dr. Morgan. I would say that he became chief of that about 1951
sometime, the early part of 1951.

Senator Potter. Did he have any personal traits that would be
objectionable in normal society?

Dr. Morgan. He is a handsome looking guy, but I would say gen-
erally speaking "no."

Senator Potter. Is he known to you to be a homosexual?

Dr. Morgan. That has a long history.

Senator Potter. You mean by that it is well known that he is
a homosexual?

Dr. Morgan. If you are asking whether I have facts that he is
a homosexual, the answer is "no."

Mr. Carr. Which one are you talking about now — Craig or
Baird?



6 U.S. Air Force Col. Matt Baird (1901-1972) served with the CIA from 1953 to 1965 and de-
veloped the agency's officer training and career development program.



171



Dr. Morgan. Baird. I don't have any factual evidence he is a ho-
mosexual.

Senator Potter. What is your knowledge in that respect?

Dr. Morgan. Circumstantial and opinion. I don't know whether
it is classified or not.

Senator Potter. What information do you have to form your
opinion?

Dr. Morgan. Well, I think on that particular thing, in order to
save the work of the committee, I gave information to two air force
investigative officers who came to see me about Matt Baird in, I
would say, early summer of 1953, around June. That file would
contain everything I knew about that case.

Senator Potter. Wasn't Mr. Baird discharged from a boys'
school?

Dr. Morgan. I understand that he was.

Senator Potter. What information do you have as to the reason
he was discharged?

Dr. Morgan. I understand that he was discharged because he
made the mistake of teaching the boys how to masturbate properly,
but that doesn't come from any direct source.

Senator Potter. When did he leave CIA?

Dr. Morgan. I don't know whether he has left. For all I know,
he may still be there.

Mr. Surine. What is the nature of your information about his
being discharged from the school on that grounds?

Dr. Morgan. The information that I have is that a Mary Lee
Fletcher, who is an employee of the agency, said that she had
talked with some four or five persons in New York City, one of
whom was the daughter of J. Leonard Hand, and they made the
remark to her that it was a pity that the U.S. government had
Matt Baird as their director of training and director of personnel.

Senator Potter. That is director of CIA?

Dr. Morgan. He had been director of training and personnel —
in view of his record at the Arizona Desert School; that he was
looked upon as a queer, etc.

Senator Potter. I think that you have covered this subject pret-
ty well, Dr. Morgan, and I wish to thank you for appearing here.

Senator McClellan. I would like to ask a question or two. I
didn't get Dr. Craig's initial.

Dr. Morgan. Horace C. Craig, I think.

Mr. Kennedy. There is a Horace S. in the telephone book.

Senator McClellan. Where is Dr. Craig now?

Dr. Morgan. I suppose he is with the operations coordinating
board.

Senator McClellan. Is he still with the government?
Dr. Morgan. I believe so.

Senator McClellan. He is still in the same position he occupied
then, at the time you were testifying about, last September?

Dr. Morgan. Well, there has been a reorganization, Senator. I
don't know what position he now occupies but it is in the same
framework.

Senator McClellan. Is he still your boss?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir.

Senator McClellan. He was in September?



172



Dr. Morgan. Yes, he was in September.

Senator McClellan. Then you think he is still with the govern-
ment?

Dr. Morgan. I think he is still with the government.

Senator McClellan. Of course, that fact can be ascertained. I
tried to follow very closely with respect to the conversation you had
last September when he was pacing the floor after he had sug-
gested the idea — made reference to the idea of penetrating the com-
mittee staff, and then I think this is your exact language, and I
want to get it accurately because you used some qualifying words,
I think, after you used this language. I understood you to say and
I quote,"It may be necessary to liquidate Senator McCarthy as was
Huey Long." Is that quote accurate or substantially accurate as you
recall what he said?

Dr. Morgan. Yes, sir.

Senator McClellan. Then you followed that by saying, if I got
it correctly, and I quote: "There is always some madman who will
do it for a price."

Dr. Morgan. Yes, sir.

Senator McClellan. Is that substantially what he said?

Dr. Morgan. That is substantially as I remember what he said.

Senator McClellan. Did you relate those two expressions at the
time as the second implementing the first — that there would al-
ways be some madman who would liquidate Senator McCarthy for
a price? Did you relate those two statements together and think
the second statement referred to Senator McCarthy?

Dr. Morgan. Oh, yes.

Senator McClellan. There was no question in your mind at the
time about it?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir. That was the subject of discussion so that
it was relevant to what he had been saying.

Senator McClellan. Now, this could be a very serious matter
and I am trying to elicit from you as of now a description or an
expression of the emotion you felt then and the reaction you had
to his remarks. Were you impressed at the time or did you believe
at the time accept his remark as that of a threat or that of a plot
that was going through his mind to actually develop a scheme to
accomplish what he had said. How did you react to it at the time?

Dr. Morgan. Well, at the time I looked over Dr. Craig and
thought, "He must be losing his mind. What is wrong with the
guy." That was my introspective analysis. I was sufficiently dis-
turbed to mention it at home when I apologized to my wife for
being late. She said, "He is out of his mind" or "What is wrong with
him" or something of that sort. The fact that he would raise it for
discussion and keep me there after closing hours — this was the
subject of discussion. We closed up at 5:30 and we were there, I
would guess, till 7:00 or thereabouts, so that he must have had in
mind that he wanted to go over this thing.

Now that I look back, I think also he was trying to find out
whether I was tied in with the McCarthy group. I think that may
have been one of his intents because a question he threw at me
caused me to answer, "I don't know him. I have never met him. As
a matter of fact I have never seen him on TV." I think one of his
intents was to feel me out with respect to my own affiliations.



173



Senator McClellan. Is that your reflection about it now after
the incident occurred some five or six months ago? Do you feel it
was just a remark to feel you out, to elicit some expression from
you? In other words, was he trying to find out if you were in com-
munication with the committee?

Dr. Morgan. I think that he was.

Senator McClellan. What do you think?

Dr. Morgan. I think his first intention was to find out whether
I was tied in with the McCarthy group, so to speak.

Senator McClellan. Would that be a technique that you use in
this psychological warfare — whatever you call it — to make a state-
ment that will lead somebody out to express themselves, find out
what they may be thinking, their attitude, what their relation or
connection may be?

Dr. Morgan. It is one of the interrogation techniques. Whether
or not he was using it on me — my impression was that he was feel-
ing me out as to whether or not I was a member of the McCarthy
group.

Senator McClellan. In other words, he was trying to find out
if you were leaking out information to the committee?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir. I think what he was interested in was to
find out if I had political affiliations or connections or whether I
was identified with the McCarthy group.

Senator McClellan. You can only work by giving information.

Dr. Morgan. Yes, that is so, but in government, as a government
employee they are always interested whether you know Senator so
and so. That is a very strong weapon for any government employee.

Senator McClellan. Did you ever report the incident to any of
your superiors?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir, I did not.

Senator McClellan. To whom did you first report it, aside from
your wife?

Dr. Morgan. I think I first talked it over with possibly Colonel
Kellis. No, he was gone by that time. He was a confidant of mine.
The man I first talked to was you [pointing to Mr. Surine].

Senator McClellan. Whom do you mean?

Mr. Surine. Mr. Surine, me.

Senator McClellan. You think he is the only one you talked to
about it besides your wife?

Dr. Morgan. He is the only one who knows about it besides my
wife, possibly Colonel Kellis, Mr. La Venia and Mr. Surine.

Senator McClellan. Mr. La Venia is also a member of the staff
of this committee, is that right?

Dr. Morgan. Yes.

Senator McClellan. I want to follow up and get the real pro-
spective of this thing. If that was a threat, that is something we
want to know about, if the guy is still in government service cer-
tainly. Of course, if it was just a maneuver on his part to try to
elicit information from you or gain some impression from you, folks
do that all the time and it would have no significance.

I want to get you to evaluate, as of now, in the light of the facts,
your reaction then and your sober reflection upon it since. How do
you evaluate it as of now after five months' reflection?



174



Dr. Morgan. My evaluation is that at the time he must have
been concerned with the problem and that he must have held dis-
cussions with persons other than myself and that he was trying to
find a solution, in his own mind, as to what ought to be done about
McCarthyism, as it is so-called.

Senator McClellan. That is your evaluation of it now after five
months' reflection, that he really was concerned to himself at least,
with what to do about McCarthyism or McCarthy and in medi-
tating upon it and thinking out loud, he made these remarks?

Dr. Morgan. Yes. Whether or not he would ever have enough
courage to carry it through, I don't know.

Senator McClellan. I know you wouldn't know that. You are
the one involved; you heard the conversation; you know Dr. Craig
from working with him and associating with him and you have had
five months to reflect upon it. You are now giving testimony about
it and you probably are the one most capable on evaluation on the
standpoint of whether it really has substance that is of interest to
this committee and the public or whether it was something that
has no significance and should not be pursued further. I would like
for you to make an expression on it.

Dr. Morgan. I will say this very decidedly. I don't think informa-
tion of this kind has public value because I don't see what purpose
is going to be served. I think in connection with other items of a
information, it may lead to a more clear picture of what is hap-
pening concerning psychological warfare, international operations
and things of that sort. I think as an isolated scrap, it reflects the
thinking of a person who in line, say with others, would be politi-
cally or other reasons. Not politically. I shouldn't say politically,
but to what Senator McCarthy was doing at the time. I am not
speaking of objectives. I think it has this. I don't know whether I
have muddled the thing.

Senator McClellan. I think it poses this question or problem for
us on the committee. If that man was talking like that in a serious
vein and it was thoughts rolling around in his mind, at the time,
ideas he was expressing, I think the committee would be concerned
about it. Whether it is something that should be given to the public
or not, we might have to determine that later, but the question is
if we have men in government with ideas like that and expressing
ideas like that, I think the committee would be a little bit con-
cerned.

Dr. Morgan. I think it was a serious statement. He didn't say
it in jest. He said it in a reflective sort of way. The reason I ques-
tioned the publicity end of it, I don't see what purpose that would
serve.

Senator McClellan. Aside from that, we don't want that kind
of men in government. That would be my first reaction. A man in
government making remarks like that, it might go to his fitness to
continue to serve as a public servant at least.

Dr. Morgan. I want to make a statement at the present time.
The fact that I am testifying here jeopardizes my own stay in gov-
ernment. If I am a government employee a year from now, I will
really be amazed. The very fact that I am here giving information
and nobody knows what the status of the information is puts me
in a position of jeopardy and I would like to make it a matter of

record. I am willing to talk and talk freely and give my opinions,
but I would like to have it put down.

Senator McClellan. Put down. What do you mean?

Dr. Morgan. Put down as a matter of record. I have had a de-
bate with my conscience ever since last night.

Senator Potter. Did you volunteer to appear before the com-
mittee?

Dr. Morgan. I have expressed the desire to give information
which I consider is to the national interest, and I will give informa-
tion which is to the national interest and I have no reluctance
whatsoever to giving it.

Senator Potter. Did you volunteer the information that you
have given here?

Dr. Morgan. A substantial part of it to staff members of the
committee.

Senator Potter. Did they elicit that information or did you give
it on your own initiative?
Dr. Morgan. I volunteered it.

Senator Potter. While you may have been subpoenaed

Dr. Morgan. Yes, sir.

Senator Potter [continuing.] You initially volunteered the infor-
mation?
Dr. Morgan. Yes, sir.
Senator Potter. How long ago?

Dr. Morgan. The information was volunteered, oh, during the
last six or seven or eight months — since last October, I think.
[Off-record discussion.]

Senator Potter. When did you first mention it?
Dr. Morgan. I think it was in October.

Senator Potter. Within a month after the incident actually oc-
curred?

Dr. Morgan. Something like that.

Mr. Surine. To your knowledge, do you know of any projects of
liquidation that CIA has engaged in abroad, in a general way?
Dr. Morgan. Yes, sir.
Mr. Surine. They call them projects?
Dr. Morgan. They may use that.
Senator Potter. Liquidate men or persons?

Dr. Morgan. No, sir, I don't. It is a business I use to lecture on
in CIA. I don't know of any liquidation processes going on abroad.

Mr. Surine. Either in the past in your experience in intelligence?

Dr. Morgan. When men are liquidated in intelligence you must
not refer to it, but you don't ask for permission. The minute you
ask for permission, it is denied. That is a code. The question of liq-
uidation of enemy agents is never referred for official discussion.

Senator McClellan. Now, there is one other thing I'd like to
make clear here. At the time Mr. Craig had the conversation about
McCarthy and penetration of the committee, was he cognizant of
possible investigation or had he ever discussed the question of the
McCarthy committee investigating CIA?

Dr. Morgan. I don't remember accurately. He may very well
have because everybody at the time was saying something about it,
his investigation, and whether he expressed an opinion pro or con,
I don't remember.



176



Senator McClellan. Has there been any personal feelings, quar-
rels or misunderstandings between you and Dr. Craig at any time?
Dr. Morgan. No, sir.

Senator McClellan. No breach in your personal relationship
any way at all?
Dr. Morgan. No.

Senator McClellan. Thank you very much.

Senator Potter. Senator, before you leave — I have no other
questions to ask Dr. Morgan — I would like to get permission to
make public the executive hearing on Major Peress.

Senator McClellan. I thought it had been made public already.

Senator Potter. We had an open hearing. This is executive, so
if there are no objections, this will be made public.

Dr. Morgan, we thank you kindly.

[Whereupon the hearing adjourned at 5:05 p.m.]

To be clear this is less a vindication of McCarthy and more a fascinating peephole view into the Agency during the 50s, with some tantalizingly vague references to Huey Long's "liquidation" and some even vaguer allusions to a highly placed pedophile in the ranks (though in typical 50s fashion this is treated as synonymous with being a homosexual). But my God does all of this just come off a bit... differently.... after you've gone full Epstein brain.

You can see how Hurricane Maria hosed up the island a few months later and it destroyed whatever this area was and his stupid little golden dome on the temple.

His assassination has always raised lots of questions beyond the baseline narrative that he was killed by a man whose father was a judge he'd maneuvered out of office or whatever. Like if the ruling class was willing to try the Business Plot on FDR there's no telling what they would have done to a more radical figure like Long who stood a good shot to primary FDR from the left and become president.
