Summary:  
This memorandum dated May 1971 details interactions involving Robert D. Peloquin, president of INTERTEL (International Intelligence, Inc.), a company based in Washington, D.C., and its operations in the U.S. and Canada. It references INTERTEL's involvement in investigating Robert A. Mahu Associates, a firm linked to Howard Hughes Tool Company, which allegedly had an oil contract with Mahu. The document notes that INTERTEL was engaged as an investigative unit under a temporary contract to protect Hughes Tool Company assets and assess Mahu’s activities. Mahu, who previously worked for Hughes in the 1950s, was later discharged and faced legal action after his contract was terminated. The text also mentions allegations of Mafia ties to INTERTEL, with claims that the company may have connections to organized crime through ex-FBI agents and other figures. It references a series of articles in *The Las Vegas Sun* and other media outlets alleging links between INTERTEL and criminal organizations. Additionally, it notes that Edward P. Morgan, a former FBI agent and friend of Mahu, was allegedly involved with Hughes Tool Company and had potential ties to covert operations.
