November 28, 1967 CIA memo from Assistant to the Director Mr. Goodwin to DCS Operational Support Staff George Musulin: "(Hunter Leake) who contacts Moran is out of town until Monday, however I believe I can answer your questions. Statement that Moran has had some past dealings with Agency refers to his contacts with other elements of Agency and with New Orleans office...I might mention that Moran was one of the organizers of Kalvar Corporation, and was, I believe, its first President. He was in contact with the Agency (which component I do not know) on behalf of Kalvar which manufactures a microfilm which produces copies with a flash of light, does not use chemicals etc. He was trying to sell the product to the Agency. Whether he was successful or not I do not know."
