Pseudonym: Lettsome, Conrad
The name Norris G.; Lettsome appeared on a card in June of 1973, along with AMSNAP-3 and others.
A memo on February 4, 1974, mentioned that Robert Ritchie was among the CIA personnel who gave testimony to the Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. The memo stated that "Ritchie testified from 1040 hours until 1235 hours, with Thompson questioning Ritchie for about 65 minutes. Ritchie acquitted himself extremely well and there were no surprises in his testimony...Some confusion arose because Ritchie was not sure of the date he took over Martinez, he thought it might have been some time in March 1972, when in fact it was late in April..."
