The unsigned "Investigative Leads" memo, whose author, date, and provenance are unknown, claims that Weigner was the senior officer who directed [[Marion Pettie]] to embed within Washington counterculture circles as an intelligence asset beginning in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The memo describes this as part of an arrangement also involving newspaper publisher [[Charles Marsh]] and [[Ira Eaker|General Ira Eaker]], in which Pettie's alleged counterintelligence training was arranged and his subsequent activities in Washington's bohemian milieu were directed by Weigner.[^1]
No corroborating primary source for this specific claim exists. The anonymous memo is the sole source for Weigner's alleged relationship with Pettie. The Finders investigation documents in the 2019 FBI Vault release (FOIA case number 1372462-0) do not mention Weigner.[^1]
