1.IAW PARA 3B7 REF A, MR. ED MCGRATH OF THE BOSTON GLOBE
REQUESTS TELEPHONE INTERVIEW WITH CO AND MEMBERS OF THE
CREW FROM THE BOSTON AREA AT EARLIEST PRACTICAL TIME
PENDING COMPLETION OF COURT'S WORK.
2. REQUEST ADVISE CHINFO PROPOSED TIME AND DATE FOR
INTERVIEW, SHIP'S TELEPHONE NUMBER, AND ANY RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THE CONDUCT OF SUCH INTERVIEWS.
3. THE NEED FOR RESTRICTIONS ON INTERVIEWS WHILE THE BOARD CONDUCTS
ITS INVESTIGATION IS UNDERSTOOD. HOWEVER, MR. MCGRATH HAS
CONDUCTED TELEPHONE INTERVIEW BEFORE WITH ORISKANY C.O. AFTER
A FIRE WHICH RESULTED IN GOOD NAVY EXPOSURE. IT IS BELIEVED THAT
PROPERLY PLANNED INTERVIEW WOULD DO MUCH TO TELL THE STORY OF A
SHIP AND CREW WHICH PERFORMED MAGNIFICENTLY UNDER TRAGIC CONDITIONS.
