Summary: This document is an HSCA outside contact report dated November 25, 1977, regarding former Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden. The report details Mr. Foster's inquiry into Bolden's parole history and criminal record. Bolden, born January 19, 1935, was incarcerated in Springfield, Missouri, then transferred to Maxwell Field Federal Prison Camp in Alabama. He was paroled in September 1959.

His prosecution was handled by Richard T. Sykes, and his conviction relied on testimony that later recanted but did not result in overturned charges. The report includes family details for Bolden, including addresses and phone numbers, though validity after 1972 is unconfirmed. A social security number (330-28-2266) is noted in the document.
