Howard Hunts desire to smear Daniel Ellsberg, to nail the guv cold1 out of court, was a major factor in his being hired as a White House consultant two months before the Ellsberg burglary, documents held by the Senate committee show. The committee has obtained a transcript of a Julv 1, 1971, conversion betelephone tween Hunt and special presidential counsel Charles W. Colson which Colson taped and sent to White House Chief of Staff H. R. Haldeman. Colson, who had known Hunt for several years and had served with him as an officer of the Brown University Club here, was anxious to hire the retired CIA agent at the White House. Cover Memo In a cover memo sent to ??m?n with the transcript, Colson said: H If you want to get a feel of his attitude, I transcribed a conversation with him yesterday on it. Needless to say, T did not even approach what we had been talking about but merely sounded out his own ideas. The memo did not elaborate on what they had been talking about," and Colson wasn't available for immediately comment. In the phone conversation on the day after the Supreme Court refused to stop publication of the Pentagon Papers, Colson suggested that Ellsberg was likely to be turned into a martyr by the New Left," or it could become another Alger Hiss case, where the guy is exposed, Utahn Seeking Rule to Halt Vitamin Plan other people were operating with him, and this may be the way to really carry it out. Discredit Left? We might be able to put this bastard into a helluva situation and discredit the New Left." As a young congressman on House . Activities Committee, Richard M. Nixon gained national attention with his vigorous pursuit of Hiss, whom he accused of helping the Communists. the Hunt said Colsons proposal would be marvelous, and at this point I would be willing to set aside my personal yen for vengeance to make sure that the administration profits from this. Hunt said the goal might be reached if the proper resources were available, and Colson said he thought they would be, pointing out he was not interested in trying the case in the courts but in the newspapers. Hunt agreed with Colson that we should go down the line to nail the guy cold. Gets Interview Four days after the memo went to Haldeman, Colson took Hunt to domestic-affair- s chief John D. Ehrlichman for an interview, and Hunt was brought onto the White House staff a few days later to work under Colson. All four have since left the White House.
