[REDACTED] telephonically advised the writer that he would meet him at [REDACTED] in the after- noon of [REDACTED], but he never made the appointment. Contact with [REDACTED] disclosed that he had been unable [REDACTED] [REDACTED] to make the appointment with the writer. He was further unable to provide any information other than what he had already furnished to SA WILLIAM S. BROWN.

In view of the above, it is felt by the writer that this individual is an alcoholic and has no information of value to offer and therefore no further efforts will be made to contact him.
