MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary,
CIA Management Committee

SUBJECT ?Family Jewels?

1. The purpose of this memorandum is to
forward for your personal review summaries of activities
conducted either by or under the sponsorship of the
Office of Security in the past which in my opinion con?
flict with the provisions of the National Security Act
of 194?.

2. These activities cover the period from
March 1959 to date and represent as accurate a record
as is available in our files. These activities which.
took place prior to the date of my appointment as
Director of Security on 1 July 1964 have been developed
to a certain extent through the recollection of the
senior people in this Office who were involved or who
had knowledge of the activities at the time they
occurred. 

3. I have gone back to March 1959 because I
believe that the activities occurring since that time
still have a viable ?flap potential? in that many of the
people involved, both Agency and non-Agency are still
alive and through their knowledge of the activity repre-
Sent a possible potential threat or embarrassment to the
Agency. I would be glad to provide clarification or an
explanation of any of these activities if desired. You
have my assurance that unless otherwise stated each of
these activities was approved by higher authority-?the

Johnny Roselli -- The use of a member of the
Mafia in an attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro.

Project MOCKINGBIRD -- During the period from 12
March 1963 to 15 June 1963, this Office
installed telephone taps on two Washington-
based newsmen who were suspected of disclosing
classified information obtained from a variety
of governmental and congressional sources.

Yuriy Ivanovich Nosenko -- A KGB defector who from
the period 13 August 1965 to 2? October 1967
was confined in a specially constructed ?jail"
He was literally confined in a
ce rs with nothing but a cot in it
for this period. 

Various Surveillance and Support Activities 
These are briefly summarized and range from
the surveillance of newsmen to the provision
of specialized support of local police officials
in the Metropolitan area. I believe that.each
one is self-explanatory and, therefore, no further
comment is needed here.

Equipment Support to Local Police -- Attached is a
list provided me by the Director of Logistics
(he will simply report these items in his
report) which we have provided local police in
the Metropolitan D. C. area over the past four
or five years on indefinite loan. During the
period when the Agency's installations in this
area appeared to be a target of dissident elements

a conscious decision was made by the Agency to
utilize the services of local police to-repel
invaders in case of riot or dissension as

opposed to utilization of our GSA guardsJI who

are not trained in this type of activity. This
equipment has been issued over the years to

local police, principally Fairfax and Arlington
County Police Departments. I do not believe

that this is totally illegal under the provisions
of the National Security Act of 194?, but I am in-
cluding it since I am sure that it would be con-
sidered as such in light of the recent congressional
fuss over our police training activities.

SUBJECT: Johnny Roselli

1. In August 1960, Mr. Richard M..Bissell
approached Colonel Sheffield Edwards to determine if
the Office of Security had assets that may asSist in a
sensitive mission requiring gangster-type action. The
mission target was Fidel Castro.

2. Because of its extreme sensitivity, only a
small group was made privy to the project. The DCI was
briefed and gave his approval. Colonel J. C. King,
Chief, WH Division, was briefed, but all details were
deliberately concealed from any of the JMWAVE officials.
Certain TSD and Communications personnel participated
in the initial planning stages, but were not witting of
the purpose of the mission.

3. Robert A. Maheu, a cleared source of the
Office of Security, was contacted, briefed generally on
the project, and requested to ascertain if he could
develop an entree into the gangster elements as the first
step toward accomplishing the desired goal.

4. Mr. Maheu advised that he had met one Johnny
Roselli on-several occasions while visiting Las Vegas.
He only knew him caSually through clients, but was given
to understand that he was a high-ranking member of the
?syndicate? and controlled all of the ice-making machines
on the Strip. Maheu reasoned that, if Roselli was in
fact a member of the clan, he undoubtedly had connections
leading into the Cuban gambling interests.

5. Maheu was asked to approach Roselli, who knew
Maheu as a personal relations executive handling domestic
and foreign accounts, and tell him that he had recently
been retained by a client who represented several inter-
national business firms which were suffering heavy financial
losses in Cuba as a result of Castro's action. They were
convinced that Castro's removal was the answer to their

 

00013

 

 

 

 



 

 

problem and were willing to pay a price of $150,000
for its successful accomplishment. It was to be made
clear to Roselli that the United States Government was
not, and should not, become aware of this operation.

6. The pitch was made to Roselli on 14
September 1960 at the Hilton Plaza Hotel, New York City.
Mr. James O?Connell, Office of Security, was present
during this meeting and was identified to Roselli as an
employee of Maheu. O'Connell actively served as Roselli's
contact until May 1962 at which time he phased out due
to an overseas assignment. His initial reaction was to
avoid getting involved, but through Maheu's persuasion,
he agreed to introduce him to a friend, Sam Gold, who
knew the ?Cuban crowd.? Roselli made it clear he did
not want any money for his part and believed Sam would
feel the same way. Neither of these individuals were
ever paid out of-Agency funds.

- During the week of 25 September, Maheu was
introduced to Sam who was staying at the Fontainebleau
Hotel, Miami Beach. It was several weeks after his
meeting with Sam and Joe,-who was identified to him as
a courier operating between Havana and Miami, that he
saw photographs of both of these individuals in the
Sunday They were identified as
Memo Salvatore Giancana and Santos Trafficant, respectively.
Both were on the list of the Attorney General's ten most?
wanted men. The former was described as the Chicago 
Chieftain of the Cosa Nostra and successor to Al Capone,
and the latter, the Cosa Nostra boss of Cuban operations.
Maheu called this office immediately upon ascertaining.
this information.

8. In discussing the possible methods of
accomplishing this mission, Sam suggested that they not
resort to firearms but, if he could be furnished some
type of potent pill, that could be placed in Castro's food
or drink, it would be a much more effective operation.

Sam indicated that he had a prospective nominee in the

person of Juan Orta, a Cuban official who had been receiving
kick-back payments from the gambling interests, who still had
access to CaStro, and was in a financial bind.

00013

 

 

 

9. TSD was requested to produce six pills of
high lethal content. 

10. Joe delivered the pills to Orta. After
several weeks of reported attempts, Orta?apparentlv got
cold feet and asked out of the assignment. He suggested
another candidate who made several attempts without
success. -

11. Joe then indicated that Dr. Anthony Verona,
one.of the principal officers in the Cuban Exile Junta, had
become disaffected with the apparent ineffectual progress
of the Junta and was willing to handle the mission through
his own resources. -

12.- He asked, as a prerequisite to the deal, that
he be given $10,000 for organizational expenses and requested
$1,000 worth of communications equipment.

13. Dr. Verona's potential was never fully
exploited, as the project was canceled shortly after the
Bay of Pigs episode. Verona was advised that the offer
was withdrawn, and the pills were retrieved.

14. 0f significant interest was an incident
which involved a request levied by Sam upon Maheu.

"'At the height of the project negotiations,
Sam expressed concern about his girlfriend,
McGuire, who he learned was getting
much attention from Dan Rowan while both were
booked at a Las Vegas night club. Sam asked
Maheu to put a bug in Rowan's room to deter?
mine the extent of his intimacy with Miss
McGuire. .The technician involved in the assign-
ment was discovered in the process, arrested,
and taken to the Sheriff's office for questioning.
He called Maheu and informed him that he had
been detained by the police. This.ca11 was made
in the presence of the Sheriff's personnel?

Subsequently, the Department of Justice
announced its intention to prosecute Maheu along

3 . 00014

SEO

with the technician. On February 1962,

the Director of Security briefed the Attorney
General, Robert Kennedy, on the circumstances
leading up to Maheu's involvement in the
wiretap. At our request, prosecution was
dropped.

15. In May 1962, Mr. William Harvey took over
as Case Officer, and it is not known by this office
whether Roselli was used operationally from that point on.

16. It was subsequently learned from the FBI
that Roselli had been convicted on six counts involving
illegal entry into the United States. Our records do not
reflect the date of conviction, but it is believed to
have been sometime during November 196?.

On 2 December 1963, Roselli, along with
four other individuals, was convicted of conspiracy to
cheat members of the Friars Club of $400,000 in a rigged
gin rummy game.

18. Mr. Harvey reported to the Office of Security
of his contacts with Roselli during November and December
196? and January 1963. It was his belief that Johnny .
would not seek out the Agency for assistance in the deporta-
tion proceedings unless he actually faced deportation.
Roselli expressed confidence that he would win an appeal.

19. On 17 November 19?0, Maheu called James
O'Connell, Roselli's first Case Officer, to advise that
Maheu's attorney, Ed Morgan, had received a call from a
Thomas Waddin, Roselli?s lawyer, who stated that all.
avenues of appeal had been exhausted,_and his client now
faces deportation. Waddin indicated that, if someone did
not intercede on Roselli's behalf, he would make a complete
expose of his activities with the Agency.

20. On 13 November 19?0, Mr. Helms was briefed
on the latest development in this case, and it was decided
that the Agency would not in any way assist Roselli. Maheu
was so advised of the Agency's position, and he was in

4 00015

 

 

 

complete agreement with our stand. He further advised
that he was not concerned about any publicity as it
affected him personally should Roselli decide to tell

all.

21. Subsequently, Roselli or someone on his
behalf furnished Jack Anderson details of the operation.
Attached are two Anderson columns dealing with this
matter.

22. The last known residence of Roselli was the
Federal Penitentiary in Seattle, Washington.

Project Mockingbird, a telephone intercept activity, was conducted
between 12 March 1963 and 15 June 1963, and targeted two 1iifasl-iington-
based newsman who, at the time, had been publishing news articles
based on, and frequently quoting, classified materials of this Agency
and others, including Top Secret and Special Intelligence.

Telephone intercept connections were installed at the newmen's
office and at each of their homes, for a total of 3. The connections
were established with the assistance of a telephone company official
who responded to a personal request by the Director of Security, Col.
Sheffield Edwards. Col. Edwards? authority for the activity was Mr.
John A. McCone, Director of Central Intelligence. The latter conducted
the activity in coordination with the Attorney General (Mr, Robert Kennedy),
the Secretary of Defense (Mr. Robert McNamara}, and the Director of
the Defenselntelligence Agency (Gen. Joseph Carroll], In addition to
Office of Security personnel directly involved in the intercepts and
research of materials acquired therefrom, only 3 other Agency
officials are on record as witting of the activity: the Deputy Director
of Central Intelligence (General Marshall 5, Carter), the Inspector
General {Lyman Kirkpatrick} and the l{Seneral Counsel. (Mr. Lawrence
Houston]. 

The intercept activity was particularly productive in identifying con-
tacts of the newsmen, their method of operation and many of their sources
of information. For example, it was determined that during the period they
received data from 13 newsman, 12 of whom were identified: 12 senators
and 6 members of congress, all identified; 21 Congressional staff members,
of whom 11 were identified; 16 government employees, including a staff
member of the White House, members of the Vice President?s office, an
Assistant Attorney General, and other well-placed individuals. A number
of other sources were partially or tentatively identified, but the short span
of the activityprecluded positive identification. It was observed that through
these contacts the newsmen actually received more classified and official
data than they could use, and passed some of the stories to other newsman
for release, establishing that many ?leaks?l'appearing under other by?lines
were actually from the sources of the target newsmen.

Since the termination of Project Mockingbird, those materials related
to it which were retained, have been maintained under strict security access
of two Office of Security professionals. - .

SUBJECT: Yuriv Ivanovich Nosenko

Yuriv Ivanovich NoSenko, an officer of the KGB,
defected to-a representative of this Agency in Geneva,
Switzerland, on 4 February 1964. The responsibility for
his exploitation was assigned to the then SR Division of
the Clandestine Service and he was brought to this country
on 13 February 1964. After initial interrogation by
representatives of the SR Division, he was moved to a safe-
house in Clinton, Maryland, from 4 April 1964 where he
was confined and interrogated until 13 August 1965 when
he was moved to a ecially constructed "jail? in a remote
wooded area The SR Division was convinced 
that he was a '1spa agent but even after a long
period of hostile interrogation was unable to prove their
contention and he was confined at in an effort
to convince him to "confess.?

 

 

 

 

 

This Office together with the Office of General
Counsel became increasingly concerned with the illegality
of the Agency's position in handling a defector under
these conditions for such a long period of time.? Strong
representations were made to the Director (Mr. Helms] by
this Office, the Office of General Counsel, and the
Legislative Liaison Counsel, and on 2? October 1967, the
responsibility for Nosenko's further handling was transferred
to the Office of Security under the direction of the Deputy
Director of Central Intelligence, then Admiral Rufus Taylor;

Nosenko was moved to a comfortable safehouse in
the Washington area and was interviewed under friendly,
sympathetic conditions by his Security Case Officer, Mr.
Bruce Solie, for more than a year. It soon became
apparent that Nosenko was bona fide and he was moved to
more comfortable surroundings with considerable freedom
of independent movement and has continued to cooperate
fully with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and this
Office since that time. He has proven to be the most

 

 

 

"00023

 

 

 

 

valuable and economical defector this Agency ha5.ever
had and leads which were ignored by the SR Division were
explored and have resulted in the arrest and prosecution

 

He currently 15 

 

under an 31135; secured a divorce from his Russian wife
and remarried an American citizen. He is happy, relaxed,
and appreciative of the treatment accorded him and states
"while I regret my three years of incarceration, I have
no bitterness and now understand how it could happen.?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

I. SURVEILLANCES

 

A.

 

 

 

During the periods 1?20 February, 12 April-7 May,
and 9?20 August 19?1, a surveillance was conducted of
a former staff employee, and
a cuoan national with whom
I become professionally and_emo-
tionally involved. Surveillance was predicated upon
information thatl  had been seeking from
employees information in Intormation Processing Division
files, and that employees were.visiting a photographic

studio operated by 'n Fairfax
City, Virginia. In 
one surreptitious entry of the photographic studio was

made, and an attempt to enter the apartment of
was aborted because of a door lock problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B.

 

 

 

Pursuant to a request from the CI Staff, approved

 

 

by the DUI, surveillances were conducted of]

 

and her asSociates at various times from May to beptemoer

 

1971. I

 

I had long been a source or the WH Division and
a given information regarding a_plot to assassinate
or kidnap Vice President Agnew and the DUI. Surveil-
lances included coverage of the activities of Miss King
during two visits to the United States, technical cover-
age of debriefings of her by WH Division representatives
in New York City, and surveillance, including mail cover-
age, of several American citizens alleged to be part of
the plot. Although most of the surveillance occurred in
New York City, surveillance of one of the individuals
included_extensive coverage of a commune in Detroit.

C. CELOTEK I

At the direction of the DCI, a surveillance was con-
ducted of Michael Getler of the Washington Post during

 

 

 

 

00026

 

II.

 

the periods 6-9 October, 2? October-ID December 1971

. and on 3 January 19?2. In addition to physical sur-

veillance, an observation post was maintained in the
Statler Hilton Hotel where observation could be main-
tained of the building housing his office. The sur-
veillance was designed to determine Getler's sources
of classified information of interest to the Agency
which had appeared in a number of his columns.

D. CELOTEX II

At the direction of the DUI, surveillance was con-
ducted of Jack Anderson and at various times his "leg
men,? Britt Home, Leslie Whitten, and Joseph Spear,
from 15 February to 12 April lglz. In addition to the
physical surveillance, an observation post was main-
tained in the Stetler Hilton Hotel directly opposite
Anderson's office. The purpose of this surveillance
was to attempt to determine Anderson?s sources for
highly classified Agency information appearing in his
syndicated columns.

E. BUTANE

At the direction of the DCI, a surveillance was
conducted on Victor L. Marchetti from 25 March to
20 April 1972. The purpose of this surveillance was
to determine his activities and contacts both with
Agency_ employees a-nd other individuals in regard to
his proposed book and published magazine articles or-
posing Agency operations.

POLICE SUPPORT

 

A. During 1969, 1970, and 1971, on several occasions,
the Intelligence Division of the Metropolitan Police
Department was provided a communications system to
monitor major antivVietnam war demonstrations in the
Washington area. This system consisted of a radio
receiver and an Agent at the Intelligence Division
Headquarters and several automobiles from the Washington
Field Office equipped with radio receivers and trans?
mitters and manned by two WFO Agents, as well as a
representative of the Intelligence Division, Metropolitan
Police Department. The benefit to the Agency was that
the communications over this system were monitored at
the Headquarters Building to provide instant notice of
possible actions by the dissidents against Agency in-

stallations.
0002?

 



 

 

B. During the period from 1968 to 19?3, several
items of positive audio equipment consisting pri-
marily of clandestine transmitters and touch~tone
dial recorders were loaned to the Metropolitan
Police Department, Fairfax County, Virginia, Police
Department, Montgomery County, Maryland, Police
Department, New York City Police Department, and the
San Francisco, California, Police Department.

GENERAL SUPPORT
A. SRPOINTER

Since 1953, this office has operated a mail inter-
cept program of incoming and outgoing Russian mail
and, at various times, other selective mail at Kennedy
Airport in New York City. This operation included not
only the photographing of envelopes but also surrepti~
tious opening and photographing of selected items of
mail. The bulk of the take involved matters of inter-
nal security interest which was disseminated to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. This program is now
in a dormant state pending a decision as to_whether
the operation will.be continued or abolished.

B. AELADLE
For several?vears the Office of Security has pro-

vided support to Anatole Golitsyn, a Russian defector of
interest to the CI Staff.

 

C. REDFACE I

In July 1970, this office made a surreptitious
entry of an office in Silver Spring, Maryland, occu~
pied by a former defector working under contract for
the Agency. This involved by-passing a contact and

booze

 

 

 

sonic alarm system, entering a vault, and entering
a safe within the vault. The purpose of the opera-
tion was to determine whether the individual had
any unauthorized classified information in his
possession. 

D. BUREAU OF NARCOTICS AND DANGEROUS DRUGS

In January 1971, the Director approved a request
from the Director, Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous
Drugs, to provide covert recruitment and security
clearance support to BNDD. This has been accomplished
through the medium of a proprietary of the Office of.
Security known as land operating as

upper

 

includes covert recruitment, investigation, polygraph,
medical clearance, and training. It has been divided
into three phases: (1) A CI operation to place indi-
viduals in BNDD field offices to monitor an ille a1

activities of other BNDD employees; 
and 

 

Recruitment of an individual used as an Agent by BNDD
but actually employed by BNDD, although this fact is
known only to the Director and Chief Inspector, BNDD.
In this case, arrangements were made for all pay and
other employee benefits to come from CIA on a reim-
bursable basis.

dissident groups in the Washington area considered
to be potential threats to agency personnel and
installations. One of these Agents so successfully
penetrated one dissident group that she was turned
over to the FBI for handling. In addition, during
this period, the Office of Security field offices
were tasked with collecting available'intelligence
on dissident groups. All such information was in-
cluded in a periodic report distributed to appro-
priate parts of the Agency and to certain outside
Government agencies.

SUBJECT: Audio Countermeasures Support to the
United States Secret Service

On 25 July 1963, and at the specific request
of the United States Secret Service, this Office pros
vided two audio countermeasures technicians to the
United States Secret Service in connection with the
Democratic National Convention held in Chicago, Illinois.
This was not an official detail although-both men were
provided with temporary credentials identifying them
as being affiliated with the United States Secret Service.

On 15 August 1968, we detailed the same two men
to the United States Secret Service to cover the
Republican National Convention in Miami, Florida. On
both occasions, the team members were debriefed upon.
their return and it is clear that their activities were
confined exclusively to sweeping the candidates and
potential candidates quarters.

h-il'ihriORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence

EURJECT ROSFLLI, Johnny

1. This memorandum is for information only.

2. In August 1960, Mr. Richard M. Eissell approached
Colonel Sheffield Edwards to determine if the Office of Security
had assets that may assist .in a sensitive mission requiring
gangster-type action. The mission target was Fidel Castro.

3. Because of its extreme sensitivity, only a small group
was made privy to the project. The DCI was briefed and gave his
approval. Colonel J. C. King, Chief, fivision, was briefed,
but all details were deliberately concealed from any of ?le
JMWAVE officials. Certain T513 and Con-Lino personnel partici-
pated in the initial planning stages, but were not witting of the
purpose of the mission. 4

4. Robert A. Maheu was contacted. briefed generally on
the project, and requested to ascertain if he could develop an
entree into the gangster elements as the first step toward accom-
plishing. the desired goal.

5. Mr. Maheu advised that he had met one Johnny Roselli
on several occasions while visiting Las Vegas. He only knew
him casually through clients, but was given to understand that
he was a high-ranking member of the ?sgmdicate? and controlled
all of the ice-making machines on the Strip. Maheu reasoned
that, if Roselli was in fact a member of the clan, he undoubtedly
had connections leading into the Cuban gambling interests.

00044

 

 

 



 

 

6. Maheu was asked to approach Roselli, who knew Maheu
as a personal relations executive handling domestic and foreign
accounts, and tell him that he had recently been retained by a
client who represented several international business firms
which were suffering l'ieavv financial losses in Cuba as a result
of Castro's action. They were convinced that Castro?s removal
was the answer to their problem and were willing to pay a price
of $150, 000 for its successful accomplishment. It was to be made
clear to Roselli that the U. 8. Government was not, and should not,
become aware of this operation. I

7. The pitch was made to Roselli on 14. September 1960 at
the Hilton Plaza Hotel. New York City. His initial reaction was
to avoid getting involved but, through Maheu's persuasion, he
agreed to introduce him to a friend, Sam Gold, who knew the
"Cuban crowd. Roselli made it clear he did not want any money
for his part and believed Sam-would feel the same way. Neither
of these individuals was ever paid out oi Agencv funds.

8. During the week of 25 September, Maheu was introduced
to Sam who was staying at the Fontainebieau Hotel, Miami Beach.
It was several weeks after his meeting with Sam and Joe, who was
identified to him as a courier operating between Havana and Miami,
that he saw photographs of both of these individuals in the Bosnia}:r
supplemental ?Parade. They were identified as Memo Salvatore
Giancana and Santos Trafficant, respectively. Both were on the .
list of the Attorney General?s ten most-wanted men. The former
was described as the Chicago chieftain of the Cosa Nostra and
successor to Al Capone, and the latter, the Ones Nostra boss of
Cuban operations. Maheu called this officejmmediatelv upon as-
certaining this information.

9. In discussing the possible methods of accomplishing this
mission, 5am suggested that they not resort to firearms but, if
he could be furnished some type of potent pill, that could be
placed in Castro's food or drink, it would be a much more effective
operation. Sam indicated that he had a prospective nominee in the
person of Juan Orta, a Cuban official who had been receiving kick-
back payments from the gambling interests, who still had access
to Castro, and was in a financial bind.

00045

 

 

 .- . . .. 10. TED was requested to produce six pills of high lethal
content.

ll. Joe delivered the pills to Crta. After several weeks
of reported attempts, Orta apps.rentl).r get cold feet and asked out
of the assigimient. He suggested another candidate who made I
several attempts without success.

12. Joe then indicated that Dr. further-iv Verona, one of the
principal officers in the Cuban Exile Junta, had become disaffected
with the apparent ineffectual progress of the Junta and was willing
to handle the mission through his own resources.

13. He asked, as a prerequisite to the deal, that he be
given $10,000 for organizational expenses and requested 000
worth of communications equipment.

14. Dr. Verona's potential was never fullyP earploited, as
the project was canceled shortly after the Bay of Figs episode.
Verona was advised that the offer was withdrawn. and the pills
were retrieved. 

15. Of significant interest was an incident which involved
a request levied by Sam upon Maheu.

. At the height of the project negotiations. Sam
expressed concern about his girlfriend, McGuire.
who he learned was 'getting much attention from Dan
Rowan while both were booked at a Las Vegas night club.
Sam asked Maheu to put a bug in Rowan?s room to deter-
mine the extent of his intimacy with Miss McGuire. The
technician involved in the assignment was discovered in
the process, arrested, and taken to the Sheriff's office
for questioning. He called Maheu and informed him that
he had been detained by the police. This call was made
in the presence of the Sheriff's personnel. -

Subsequently, the Department of Justice an-

nounced its intention to prosecute Maheu along with
the technician. On 7 February 1962, the Director of

00046

 

 

 

 

Security briefed the Attorney General, Robert
Kennedy, on the circumstances leading up to
'Maheu's involvement in the wiretap. At our re?
quest, prosecution was dropped.

16. In May 1962, Mr. ?.ir?illiarn Harvey took over as Case
Officer, and it is not known by this Office whether Roselli was
used operationally from that point on.

It was subsequently learned from the FBI that Roselli
had been convicted on six counts involving illegal entry into the
United States. Our records do not reflect the date of conviction,
but it is believed to have been sometime during November 1.967.

18. On 2 December 1968, Roselli, along with four other
individuals, was convicted of conspiracy to cheat members of the
Friars Club of $400,000 in a rigged gin gummy game.

19. Mr. Harvey reported to the Office of Security of his
contacts with 'Roselli during November and December 1967 and
January 1963. It was his belief that Johnny would not seek out
the Agency for assistance in the deportation proceedings unless
he actually faced deportation. Roselli expressed confidence that
he would win an appeal.

2.0. On November 1970, M-aheu called James O'Connell,
Roselli?s first Case Officer, to advise that Maheu's attorney, Ed
Morgan, had received a call from a Thomas Weddin, Roselli's
lawyer, who stated that all avenues of appeal had been exhausted,
and his client now faces deportation. Waddin indicated that, if
someone did not intercede on Roselli?s behalf, he would make
a complete expose of his activities with the Agency.

21. On 18 November 1970, you were briefed on the latest
development in this case, and it was decided that the Agency
would not in any way assist Roselli. Maheu was so advised of
the Agency's position, and he was in complete agreement with
our stand, He further advised that he was not concerned about

For Jill years. out),t a few Real
people have known the terri-

never to talk. Yet we have

Isources whose credentials are

idea had been discussed inside

that the CIA had ever partici-

life. Asked whether the at-
tempts could have been made
with his knowledge. he re~'
plied: "it could not have hap-

MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary,
Gin Management Committee

1 SUBJECT Project 

I. This memorandum sets forth a recommendation for your
approval in paragraph 5.

2.. For the past several years, this office has been support-
ing the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) by spot-
ting, assessing, and recruiting personnel to form an internal
security unit whose primary omission is the detection of corruption
within the BNDD. Subsequent to the recruitment and training stage,
the individuals selected are turned over to the Chief Inspector of
BNDD for operational guidance and handling in their various dom-
estic assignments.

3. Recently, this Agency has extended this activity by
supporting BNDD in the covert acquisition of individuals who are
hired as Staff Agents utilized under nonofficial cover and directed
against the principal international drug traffickers. - These indi-
viduals are true e1nployees of the BNDD and, although all adrnin-
istrative details relative to their employment are handled within
the Agency, thev?are.- unaware of any Agency involvement.

4. It is felt at this time that a reaffirmation of our support
to BNDD in Project is necessary and desirable.

5. Therefore, it is recommended that approval be granted

for the continuation of Project as originallyr approved
by the Director of Central Intelligence on 12. February 1971.

5. Information on the background of the Cuban is fairly extensive,
but it is inconclusive. He is known to have been a member of anti-
Castro organisations in this country. There are also reports that
his mother was imprisoned in Cuba at one time. There are other
episodes in his life that suggest intelligence involvement on his part
with some hostile service, but this is not yet definitely established.

6. The Office of Security has had at times a second informant
in this case. His reporting has tended to confirm reporting by the
principal informant. 

 

 

 

3. The Office of Security has been running this operation for
over two years, in an effort to obtain conclusive proof of its intelli-
gence nature. CI Staff has been kept informed.. The FBI, which
was informed of the case at an early stage, has declined to take re-
sponsibility for it, on grounds that it concerns CIA's internal security.
As a result, the Office ofSecurity has been inhibited in the actions
it can take against the'Cuban suspect. On the other hand, Security
has not taken any action against Agency employees for fear of com-
promising the operation.

9. It would appear to me that the Office of Security has dallied
with this case long enough. Apparently unable through positive measures
to resolve doubts about the case, has followed the course of watch-
ful waiting, hoping the Cuban would take precipitasttf' action himself that
would give us' the evidence we seek. In the meantime, our knowledge
of the relationship between the Cuban and the several other current
Agency employees with whom he is know to have contact continues

00060

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tha possibility that the employee-in SB may;r be passmg
information on CIA's Soviet operations. is too great to warrant further
delay-in moving against her. I

Hemorandum to: The Inspector General
Subject: Office of Security Surrey Office of Security Support to EHDD

1. In December 19?0 Robert Ingersoll, head of the Bureau of ?ar?
cotics and Dangerous Drugs, asked Mr. Helms if the Agency could give
him some assistance in shoring up the internal integrity of the BHDD.
According to Ingersoll, the old FEderal Bureau of Narcotics had been
heavily infiltrated by dishonest and corrupt elements, who were believed
to have ties with the narcotics smuggling industry. wanted us
to help him recruit some thoroughly reliable people who could be used,
not only as special agents in his various offices around the country,
but also to serve as informants on the other BNDD employees in these
offices.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Management Services

SUBJECT Press Allegations re Use of.Agency
Polygraph
1. This memorandum is for-your information only

and confirms a report I made to you by telephone earlier
today.

2. On 22 July 1921, an article was carried on
American proposals relative to the SALT talks in The New
York Times over the by?line of William Beecher. It was
devastatingly accurate and contained direct quotes from
a Presidential advisory memorandum the White House had
sent to Mr. Gerard Smith, Director, Arms Control and
Disarmament Agency, a few days earlier. The President
was alleged to be furious with this unauthorized dis-
closure of classified information and directed a sweeping
investigation within the United States Government to
determine the source of the disclosure._ Investigation
was conducted under the directgon-of Mr. Egil Krogh and
Mr. David Young, Staff Assistantg'to Mr. John Ehrlichman,
Counsel to the President for Domestic Affairs.

3. 0n the basis of investigations_conducted by
State Security and Defense 
one individual in the Department of Defense and three
individuals in the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency??
were tabbed as leading suspects. Mr. Egil Krogh contacted
me on 26 July 1971 and requested that we arrange to polygraph
the three suspects in the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency
and volunteered the information that the Federal Bureau of
Investigation would be asked to polygraph the one suspect
in the Department of Defense.

4. I informed Mr. Krogh that from time to time
in matters involving the national security the Agency had
detailed to Mr. G. Marvin Gentile, Director of State .
Security, a polygraph operator and a polygraph machine for
his use in polygraphing State Department employees who
were recipients of allegations concerning their loyalty.
I emphasized that this procedure had the Director's
approval and that State clearly understood that the examin-
ation was their total responsibility. I further informed
him that this was the only way we could undertake to enter?
tain his request and that even then it would require the
specific approval of the Director. Mr. Krogh asked me to
obtain such approval and work out such arrangements with
Mr. Gentile.

S. Later that same day, Mr. Krogh called Mr. Gentile
and inquired as to whether the arrangements had been made.
Mr. Gentile indicated they had and suggested that the same
polygraph operator be used to examine the Defense suspect.
Mr. Krogh informed Mr. Gentile that he considered this an
excellent idea and that he would instruct Defense officials
to make their man available to Mr. Gentile for a polygraph
examination.

The polygraph

 

 

examinations resulted in clearing the?Tour men and the
results of the examinations were forwarded_over my signature
to Mr. Gentile on 29 July 1971. A copy of my covering
memorandum is attached.

7. Mr. Murrey Harder, a staff writer for The
Washington Post, in an article dated 3 September l?7I,
stated that a State Department spokesman had acknowledged
at a news briefing that agents of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation had polygraphed State Department employees
suspected of leaking information on the SALT talks in
July. Mr. John Edgar Hoover, then Director of the Federal

Bureau of Investigation, denied this allegation in a
letter to The Washington Post and said that the polygraph
examinations had been conducted by another agency. Specu?
lation centered around the Agency, but after a day or so,
press speculation in this regard died away.

- 8. Mr. Marder apparently has never been satisfied
and has been pressing Mr. Charles Bray, State Department
spokesman, for confirmation of Agency involvement. Mr.
Bray learned today that Mr. Marder plans to use a press
conference to be held at 2:00 p.m. this afternoon to press
this point further. Mr. Bray has been given guidance by
Mr. Gentile to avoid confirmation but if this is impossible
he will indicate the examinations were conducted by State
Department Security officials utilizing an operator and
a machine detailed to the Department for this purpose. I
do not know whether or not the fact that the government?wide
investigation was directed by Mr. Egil Krogh is known to
Mr. Marder but I suspect that it is and that this is the
reason why the matter has been raised again. Mr. David
Young was instrumental in pushing my office to conduct an
internal Agency investigation of this disclosure and the
White House was satisfied that no Agency employee was
the source.

Got more problems?
Yes, don't know how much Watts told you.
I didn't talk to Watts. Think he called Colonel White.

Let me explain background. As a result of the Cenmodia speech, we're

getting relatively inundated with correspondence and normally all of

this is sent to the Department of State for answering. What we?re

doing -- we're continuing to send all 

However, the President made determination he'd like to answer support

over his signature here and we asked the Department of State to

support us on this effort. They?re in a.position where they can provide

only limited support at this time. They?gg_committed for $10,000 which

would probably handle in the area of maybe 60,000 responses. 
. 

How many responses altogether counting pros and cons?

The cons are quite a large group that they?re handling themselves also.
Are they going to be handling pros too?

l0 000 is_for pros. They?re doing cons. 0n pros they can pick up only
looks like at present time we?ve got over 100,000 responses in and it
could go upwards of l50,000_or greater. Looks like we'll need a minimum

of another $10,000, of $15,000, additional. This covers
cost of printing, postage and addressing.'

 

Just printing, postage and addressing? not any overtime for any salaries
or anything like that?

Nb, the posting of the things we'll do ourselves -- by hand. No_problem.
We're talking about physical costs of job H- cost of stamps, cost of
envelopes and cards, and cost of having them addressed by outside firm.
We?ll handle putting stamp on, inserting, and sealing and mailing. Only
talking about cost associated with three aspects of the operation.

Postage, addressing and printing.

 

L: . .
Yes, reason I asked to see if they could arrange depending on
how volume goes probably'another $104000 to $l5,000.

These are just pros? State is handling all cons themselves?

Yes, this is just portion of pros we're talking about. My understanding

with your accounting system.

This is only portion of pros. tate doing some too?

They're picking up quite a load as a result of this. One hell of a lot

of response coming in on this.

Bound to be. Tell you, John, let me give you a call back later today
if I may. Have to take a look about where I would fit this stuff in.
Are you going to be in this afternoon?

I?ll be around. If I'm not in my office I?ll get back to you as soon
as I come back. -

I'll give you a call then.

Can't be real definite not sure how we're going to peak out. Not
sure what backlog is. I?ll check into that so when we talk this
afternoon I can be little more definite. Probably run into that area,
I think. 

Okay, I?ll get back in touch with you.

Okay, thank you, Warren.

Mr. Magnusson's phone conversation with Col. White at 15:h0 on 26 May 19?0:

M:

I talked with John Brown today and it seems like as you mentioned 

as a result of Cambodia, inquiries going into White House. The State
Department is doing all the work on the cons -- there are pros and cons.
The State Department is going to answer all the cons and the President has
determined that he wants to answer personally all the pros. However, the
State has agreed to pick up some of those too in the amount of $10,000.
That will cover maybe 60,000 of the answers. They estimate there's going
to be from 100,000 to 150,000 answers that will have to be put out by

the White House. Estimate it?s going to cost about $8,000 per 50,000.
Think it might go to 150,000. $10,000 to $15,000 additional which the
White House will have to pay for. The charges are only going to be for
printing, postage and addressing by an outside firm. We salaries for
overtime or anything like that. They?re going to lick the stamps in the
White House, paste the stamps on and insert the message into the envelopes.
John Brown said he had requested NSC to see if they could arrange,
presumably with us, I guess, for another $10,000 to $15,000 depending on
volume. He was talking as more or less foregone conclusion we would do
it. I made no commitment. Told him I'd look into it.

How would we do this?

We would do it by asking them to pay amount and then send over 1080

to us with bill for the postage, bill for the addressing of the envelopes
and bill for the printing accompanying this and.we would just send-check

back. They would send short memorandum with it certifying these are the

charges. .

I think we want to know what we spend our money for but I don't think we
want the public records to?show that we paid for it.

What we can do, Sir I can ask them to send over a 1080 with certifica-
tion that these are the charges for classified services per our conversation,
and if you're willing to take that we can certainly do it that way.

Will this he an outside firm? Couldn't we just pay the firm? What would

.be better? I?m not sure.

I think a short memo just saying attached 1080 is for charges previously
agreed to between this Agency and themselves and that's all and than we
send them_check for that. Otherwise, there's always chance that an outside

firm might realize it was us paying for it.
I guess it's the best way to do it. I'd like to have in our records a-

nobody else has access to exactly what it was for -- all about it;
their records, which are audited by the General_Accounting Office, as

little as possible.

(continued)

00086

 

 

Mr. Magnusson and Col. White (continued - Page 2)

- M:

Think I can talk to them and arrange that so he just sends unclassified
1080. 

Go ahead and do it. I'll have to sign off on it, I suppose. You go
ahead and arrange it in way that will give us full record. As far as
any records of their?s are concerned, I would_prefer to have minimum.

I can write memo and John Brown can refer to this and our phone conversa-
tion in a memo accompanying the 1080.

Okay, go ahead and do it. Put limit on it. when they talked to me they
said $10,000.

He said $10,000 to $15,000 because they're just pouring in. Might run
above $10,000.

Approximately $10,000 but in no case will it exceed $15,000 something
like that. '0kay.

All right, Sir.

Thank you, Warren.

Mr. Magnusson's phone conversation with Mr. John Brown at approximately 00
on 26 May 19?0:



Think we can go ahead and do this. Have to be careful as to way this
is documented that?s the only thing. would like to suggest that I
write memo for the record ~e kind of co-sign it agreeing to amount
and so forth and the way we do this. Memo would have in it what it's
for and then you would send us a 1080 for this, referencing this memo
and our conversation.

You're thinking in terms of reiwhursing us again? Wouldn't it be
better for us to have direct charge to you?

me, because of public record. In order to have all the things in our
hands. It wouldn?t look go ed for us to pay the bills direct for this
sort of thing.

It would not?
so, if you people pay'the bills 

(interrupting) Even to pay a large postage fee? Bulk of expense will
be postage. 

But we have to document what it' for if you people can just pay it,

then we'll give you money for it.

What would our memo say?

Say attached is 1080 referencing memo dated such and such.

'What does the memo say that we're making reference to?

I'll write that up and bring over to you.

What, basically, are we going to say it's about?

_Have $10, 000 with limit of $15, 000 and would.be for printing of these -

things and so on.

Just wondering if you have direct billing it seems to me that serves
purpose of memorandums 1

The direct billing from, let's say, the printer, the addressograph
company or something like that, to us might raise questions outside
and I think powers that be don' want to have fact that we re paying
for this sort of thing anyplace where it can be dug up. Easiest and
cleanest way to do this is you people go ahead and pay and we'll
reimburse you immediately. 

Do we have to have this memo?

(continued) . r- "1 ii? - 00088

 

Messrs. Magnusson and Brown (continued Page 2)

M:

B:

I'd keep in my safe here.
wouldn't it be adequate to send 1080?

Don't forget, you people keep copies of 1080's -- you bare to by
law. 1080 would hare to cite what billing is for because of that,
then that would open u? to GAO or somebody else as to who's paying
for this sort of thing.

We have to cite what it's for?

Let's say it's Printing Company" and you pay bill. This looks
like you're paying it. You send us_1080 which says nothing and we
give you money for this. We ourselves have to have on our records
what we're paying for for our own auditors which doesn't get outside
of our Agency.

It's for your internal auditors? It would not get outside? Okay,
that sounds all right.

I'll draw the memo up and bring it over there and you can see it.

That sounds good, warren.

would next Monday be all right with that memo?

Yes, we'll go ahead and order.

You can get going and so on.

Don't know what final cost is going to be. Hate to restrict ourselves.
We figure total cost is going to be around $25,000. Got over 100,000
already that are just pro. 200,000 that haven't been analysed yet.

0f 200,000 they estimate possibly upwards of 50,000 or 60,000 could
pertain to Cambodia. 0f the backlog of 200,000, 60,000 could be of

.type that will be answered in this mailing. Our best estimate would

be it_may run over.
I've got instructions, John, to indicate in memo that it's for
approximately $10,000 but not to exceed $15,000. If and when it

exceeds $15,000, we'll start over again and I'll inquire further as
to whether we can cover the other okay?

Okay.

Open to negotiation if it runs higher.

(continued)

 

00089

 

Messrs. and Brown (continued - Page 3)
B: .t hey run higher. 60,000 letters omue out being pro, will tehe
us to $26,000 or somewhere in that vicinity.

M: Then I'd here to go heck and inquire to see if powers that be will
cover the other part. I think it's best to wait 'til that happens.

B: Okay, good enough.

M: What time Monday?

B: Why don?t you give us call here Monday? My secretary will line it_up.
M: Okay.

SUBJECT: Reimbursement to the White House for Certain Printing,
Postage and Addressing Expenses

1. On 18 August 1970, the undersigned received a telephone call
from Mr. John Brown (1115-2167) advising that the mailing had been
heavier than anticipated (increased to 250,000 pieces} and that the
dollar requirement for subject purpose had increased from $15,000 to
$25,000. 

2. I apologetically advised Mr. Brown that since our records
showed_that prior amproval was limited to $15,000 I would have to
advise and confirm with my superiors that the increase to $25,000'

was acceptable, as I was sure it was.

3. In the absence of Col. White (on leave), Mr. Bush immediately

contacted Mr. Clarke, I who was not in his office. On 19 August,
Mr. Clarke telephonic pproved the increased level and Mr. Brown

was duly informed.

MEMORANDUM FUR: Deputy Director for Management and Services

SUBJECT Special Report

1. This memorandum is in response to a request to
provide information on situations or associations that
might appear to be irregular on the surface.

2. White House and Government Agencies -
Background: For manymyears the Central Intelligence Agency has
detailed employees to the immediate office of the White House
per se and to components associated intimately with the immediate
office of the President such as the Council on International
Economic Policy and the President's Foreign Intelligence
Advisory Board. We have furnished secretaries, clerical
employees and certain professional employees on a reimbursable
and non-reimbursable basis. At the present time, we have no
clericals or professionals assigned to the immediate White
House office, but we do have one young man detailed to their
Communications Section. There are detailees to PFIAB and CIEP.
I might point out that we had detailed to the White House as
late as the fall of 19?0 couriers, telephone operators, a
laborer assigned to the grounds and a graphics man who designed
invitations for State dinners. By October of 19?0, more funds
were apparently available to run the White House and most of
our detailees were hired as bona fide White House employees.
CIA is not the only Agency furnishing the White House with
detailees. Levies have been made by this Administration and
others on Defense and State and other Government entities
whose employees have Top Secret clearances.

 

 

Professional officers have been and are at the present
time assigned the National Security Council and we have seven
clericals on detail to NSC on a reimbursable basis. 

In addition to the above, we have technical specialists

detailed to NBA, an instructor at the National War College and
security officers detailed to the Department of State to



 

 

 

 

00105 

 

 6. I

 

 

 

protect foreign visitors. Recently, was detailed
to the Secretary of the Treasury along with to other Agency
employees. We have even, in rare instances, detailed our
people to Congressional Staffs for short periods of time.

 

 

 

3. Details to the White House and Government_?gencies -
Discussion: Details to NSC, the White House, NBA and the
National War College are probably quite defensible. On the other
hand, there may be those who would Question Agency employees
currently working at the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs
and Mr. Peter Peterson having an Agency employee as his
secretary when he was-the Secretary of Commerce [she also made
a trip with him to Moscow). She is still with him in his
present assignment but we expect that she will report to NSC for
a new detail sometime this month.  served for
over ten years as Director of the of Hub11c Safety for
AID. This information has been kept ?close to the vest? during
that entire period of time. He has been approved for disability
retirement and is presently on sick leave and will retire
automatically at the expiration of this leave.

 

 

Each detail of an Agency employee to the White House or
other Government agency has been carefully considered and
approval at a higher level obtained when professionals were
involved.

4. Project TWOFOLD: I believe the support we are
providing to Project is an activity that should be
reported under your guidelines. Since this is an extremely
sensitive Project and the Office of Security is reporting on
it, I will not repeat the details in my memorandum.

 

5. Individuals Engaged in Domestic Activities: In a more
general sense, Contract Personnel Division prepares and executes
contracts with individuals engaged by the Agency to carry out
domestic activities. We also process Staff Agents who are
domestically assigned. None of these assignments are decided
in UP. I really have no way of knowing with any degree of
certainty what the specific duties of these individuals will be.

 

 

 

2 00106

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Hunt Requests a Lockpicker: This is a record of
External Employment Assistance Branch's action_on a request
from Howard Hunt for a lockpicker who might be retiring or
resigning from the Agency.

Sometime in the spring of 19?2, Frank O'Mallev of EEAB
received a call from Howard Hunt who asked Frank if he had a
retiree or resignee who was accomplished at picking locks.
Mr. O'Mallev sent him a resume on Thomas Amato who retired
31 July 19?1. Mr. O'Malley did not document his EEAB record
to show the date of this enchange, but (who
also works in EEAB) opines that it occUrre some 1m ween
March and May 19?2.

 

 

I

All of the above information was reported to the Office
of Security on 4 October 1972 following the FBI's contact with
the Agency regarding Howard Hunt. 

 

 

 

9. Resume Sent to McCord:_ a contract
employee who retired in September 19:1, was a Client of the

External Employment Assistance Branch in his :earch for a job

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

after retirement. One of the leads given to as
James McCord?s security business.l EEAB sent to
McCord, but was not hired.

In midusummer 1972, telephoned EEAB from
Chicago. (He had a job :nere with the Halifax Security 60.,

 

 

 

a lead provided by EEAB, but until this telephone call he had

not notified EEAB that he had the job and had moved from

Agent of the FBI who told his resume had been

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
THROUGH Deputy Director for Management and Services

SUBJECT Sensitive Activities ferformed by the
Office of Logistics

1. This memorandum contains information for the Director
of Central Intelligence.

2. This memorandum is submitted pursuant to advice given
by the Deputy Director for Management and Services on May
that Office Directors report on activities, either under their
cognizance or otherwise known to them, the nature of which
could possibly need explanation or justification when viewed
within the statutory responsibility and authority of the
Director of Central Intelligence. The responsibilities of the
Office of Logistics (0L) are such that in all matters herein
reported, except two, the actions undertaken were at the re-
quest of another Agency component. We have prepared a brief
description of each action involved and then have included the
name of the sponsoring component. The substantive reason for
the requests for action byathis Office will have to be deter-
mined by inquiry to the designated sponsoring component.

3. Facts pertaining to both actions undertaken at the
initiative of this Office are as follows:

lance-equipment unless it has been approved by the CI
Staff of the 

4. Within the.area of contractual responsibilities, the

following items are pertinent: g;



a. In February 19?1, Colonel L. K. White, the then
Executive DirectorHComptroller, called me to attend a
meeting in his office, also attended by Mr. William Colby.
Colonel White explained that the Technical Services
Division (TED) had been requested to provide assistance
to the FBI for a sensitive project designated (cur?
rently White di no is-
close the purpose assistance being provided by TSD
but did instruct me to assist TSD on purely contractual
matters. Since the Office of Logistics has no information
concerning_the mission or purpose of sub*
stantive questions concerning the subject shou 
addressed to TSD. Other procurement actions accomplished
for the FBI are re orted below. Specific mention.is made,
however, of the dollar magnitude, ap-
proximately mi ion, and the complex technical equip-
ment that has been involved in the undertaking.

b. The Procurement Division, 0L, currently has two
requisitions in hand from TSD which would involve reim?
bursable sales to the FBI. One such requisition in the

eamount of $36,900 is for two Westinghouse television

cameras. The second requisition in the amount of $11,200
is for two wide-angle surveillance probes manufactured by
Bausch and Lomb. No action is being taken on either of
these requirements pending further instructions which

- will be sought from the Deputy Director for Management

and Services.

c. Over the years, this Agency has often supported
other Government agencies from a contractual or materiel
standpoint. Upon the_submission of an officially approved
request, supported by a transfer of funds, the Agency
would either enter into "accommodation procurements" for
the requesting agency or support the requesting agency by
the issuance of materiel from stock. Such actions are
legally accomplished under the Economy Act of 1925. This
Act authorizes one agency to support the needs of, or pro-
vide a service for, another Government agency when such

00113

 

 

SUBJECT: Sensitive Activities Performed by the Office of
Logistics

action would be more economical and eliminate the need for
one agency of the Government to duplicate facilities
readily available from another. A typical example of this
procedure is purchasing photointerpretation gear for the
Defense Intelligence Agency element located at NPIC. In
connection with the current repor.ting requirement however,
I have had our records reseaiched for the past 2 years and
Attachment 1 reflects those transactions which appear to be
relevant to the subject of this memorandum.

d. In connection with the disclosures during the sum?
mer of 19?1 that the Rand Corporation was not properly
safeguarding classified documents, this Office undertook-
two acts. I directed the Security Officer from our West
Coast Procurement Office at the Moffet Naval Air Station
in California to visit the Rand Corporation and satisfy
himself that classified material furnished them by the
Agency was both properly safeguarded and accounted for.
His report was affirmative. On 23 August 1971, the senior
Security Officer assigned to this Office forwarded a
letter to the Rand Corporation stressing and reaffirming
the procedures Rand must follow in safeguarding classified
information furnished th.em by the Agency. Of residual
interest in this matter, there is Summarized the contents
of a memorandum of 2 July 19?1 to the Executive Director?
Comptroller from the which is in our possession.

This memorandum reports that FBIS regularly
disseminated reports to the Rand Corporation
but that instructions had been issued to cease
distribution of classified reports. While no
'other direct'dissemination went to Rand, other
USIB agencies, primarily USAF, were passing_
?many" copies of DDXI products to Rand as au-
thorized under USIB regulations. The memoran~
dum also states that Rand personnel had
requested searches and document retrieval from
the CRS facility.

5. In connection with action taken for the Office of
Security, there are three relevant items:

a. The Printing Services Division, OL, was requested
by the Office of Security to print a book written by
Harry J. Murphy, Office of Security. The book was pre-
pared by Mr. Murphy under a Brookings Institution Federal


SFGREI 00113

 

   

-
l"Ui?O r1 -.
Ll to 

 

SUBJECT: Sensitive Activities Performed by the Office of
Logistics

Executive Fellowship. The book is entitled ?Where's

What Sources of Information for Federal Investigators.?
It is a full treatise on the existence of sources of in-
formation that may be useful to an investigator. The
book?s first printing of 300 copies was made in June 1967.
Due to demand, a second printing of 600 copies was made

in September 1963. The title page of the book gives
attribution to Mr. Hurphy, Office of Security, Central
Intelligence Agency, and the Brookings Institution Federal
Executive Fellowship. The book is classified Confidential,
and it is our understanding that the distribution was made
to appropriate agencies of the Federal Government. A copy
of Mr. Murphy's book can be made available for review if
desired. -

Sometime in 19?2, a representative of the Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration requested
that the Agency give consideration to our publishing, at
LEAA expense, an unclassified version of this volume. It
was the intent of LEAA to make broad-scale distribution
to Police Departments throughout the country. The Director
of Security and I consulted on this matter and jointly
determined that the LEAA request should not be honored be?
cause the Agency should not put itself in the position of
publishing law enforcement material for general and un-
classified purposes, and it would be an abuse of our print-
ing facilities. . -

b. On 5 January 19?1, the Director of Security re-
quested that I approve his leasing up to eleven motor
vehicles for use in connection with a special support
operation which would last approximately 3 months. The
Director of Security informed me, in his requesting memo-

,randum of 5 January 19?1, that "This support activity has
been undertaken at the specific instruction of the Director
and has his personal approval." The request was approved.

c. From 1968 to date, the Office of Security has
requisitioned from this Office a considerable amount of
materiel which we understand was to be given or loaned_by
them to local Police Departments. In certain cases some
of this materiel was issued from Agency stocks and, in
other cases, direct procurement of the materiel was made
by funds furnished by the Office of Security. A complete
listing of such materiel is found in Attachment 2.

Staff of the 

4. Within the area of contractual responsibilities, the

following items are pertinent:

 

a. In February.19?l, Colonel L. K. White, the then
Executive Director-Comptroller, called me to attend a
meeting in his office, also attended by Mr. William Colby.
Colonel White explained that the Technical Services
Division (TSD) had been requested to provide assistance

to the FBI for a sensitive iroject designated (cur-
rently designated White did no is-
close the purpose stance being provided by TSD
but did instruct me to assist TSD on purely contractual
matters. Since the Office of Logistics has no information
concerning the mission or purpose of 
stantive questions concerning the subject shou 
addressed to TSD. Other procurement actions accomplished
for the FBI are re orted below. Specific mention is made,
however, of the dollar magnitude, ap-
proximately m1 ion, and the complex technical equip-
ment that has been involved in the undertaking.

 

b. The Procurement Division, 0L, currently has two
requisitions in handufrom TSD which would involve reim-
bursable sales to the FBI. One such requisition in the
amount of $36,900 is for two Westinghouse television
cameras. The second requisition in the amount of $11,200
is for two widerangle surveillance probes manufactured by
Bausch and Lamb. No action-is being taken on either of
these requirements pending further instructions which
will be sought from the Deputy Director for Management
and Services. .

c. Over the years, this Agency has often supported
other Government agencies from a contractual or materiel
standpoint. Upon the submission of an officially approved
request, supported by a transfer of funds, the Agency
would either enter into ?accommodation procurements" for
the requesting agency or support the requesting agency by
the issuance of materiel from stock. Such actions are
legally accomplished under the Economy Act of 1925. This
Act authorizes one agency to support the needs of, or pro-
vide a service for, another Government agency when such
