302 (REV.3-8-77) FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION 1 6/10/80 Date of transcription Philip J. Hise, Jr., Appointments Secretary to the Fresident of the United States, was interviewed at his office in the White House. He was advised of the official identity of the interviewing Agent and told that he was being interviewed about a possihle violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act by William A. (Billy) Carter, IIl. Mr. Wise voluntarily furnished the following information: He reviewed his telephone log, listing calls he received at the White House, for the period October 1, 1978, through January 11, 1979. During this time, he received no telephone calls from Billy Carter and has not been asked by him to intervene with anyone at the United States Department of State (usps) on behalf of Billy Carter or the country of Libya concerning the sale or release of airplanes to Libya. If he had been asked to become involved in contracts or the sale of airplanes by Billy Carter, he would have referred the matter to the National Security Council (nsc), rather than referring him to anyone at the USDS. He does not normally deal with the Usns and would not act as a go-between for Billy Carter with that agency. At this point, he was specifically asked if the log or record of telephone calls were subpoenaed by the court in this investigation if there would be no record of any call logged therein for the period October 1, 1978, through January 1l, 1979, from Billy Carter to him. He stated "I can't say we (his staif) could not have missed" or failed to record one, but none were found in the review of the log for that period. 6/4/80 Hashington, D.C. WFO 97-2204 87C IS 1h 6/5/80
