Harvey, too, advised against briefing Mr. McCone and General Carter and states that Helms concurred in this. On that same date, 14 May, Edwards prepared a memorandum for the record stating that on that day Harvey had told him that any plans for future use of Roselli were dropped.” Helms knew that was not true. He had already approved Harvey’s contact with Rosselli. See David Talbot, Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years (New York: Free Press, 2007), 109.
