Gerald P. Burns '62, who says he was an acquaintance of Kaczynski at Harvard, says he learned of a connection between Kaczynski and the Unabom suspect nine months ago.
Burns, who declined to reveal the identity of his friend, says he advised his friend to contact law enforcement authorities about Kaczynski's possible connection to the Unabom case.
"I was sworn to secrecy and kept my [own] mouth shut. But I told him to go to the FBI," Burns says.
"He's an acute person and I trusted his judgment," Burns says of his friend. "But I have no idea whether he took my advice."
Burns says he did not consider turning over the information to the FBI himself because it came to him indirectly.
