James A. PERRY
190178

James A. PERRY, Jr., mailed two letters from Washington, D. C., on
29 June 1955, one to his father, and another to Severino D. GOMEZ; however,
in so doing, PERRY placed the letter to his father in the envelope addressed
to GOMEZ, and the letter to GOMEZ in the envelope addressed to his father.
When the letters were received by PERRY, Sr. and GOMEZ, both noting the
error, they exchanged letters. However, GOMEZ considered the contents of
the letter he had at first received important enough to turn over to his
brother M. Leal GOMEZ, who in turn referred it to the Boston Office of
the FBI.

The letter, in substance, indicated that while PERRY was serving in
South America, under cover for this Agency, he had revealed his true status
to his wife's father, EN CONSALTES, on a visit to South America, and who
later had revealed this information to PERRY's father. In correspondence
following PERRY's father having become knowledgeable of PERRY's true status,
he indicates that therein he might have intimated that his work was not so
hush-hush, and that on that basis PERRY's father "had dropped his card"
in effect, and had told others of PERRY's true status. This letter was a
warning to PERRY's father that he should attempt to correct the indiscretion
of revealing PERRY's status while he was in South America. The letter refers
to other letters which PERRY indicates contained information revealed through
indiscretion on his part, and which he asks his father to destroy.

According to our records, PERRY was granted an Operational Clearance
on 22 May 1953, for use as a witting informant or as a contract agent on
anti-Communist front activities. He was used as a contract agent from
September 1953 to February 1955 in Brazil under DIS cover.

He is of Portuguese extraction, and he or his father had changed the
family name

He attended Northeastern University from 1947 to 1951 and received

the letter intended for PERRY's father, advised the FBI that he, GOMEZ,
had attended Boston University during the period PERRY was studying
under HALPERIN. GOMEZ was of the opinion that the HALPERIN-PERRY
relationship was more than just the professor-student type because PERRY
saw HALPERIN during the evenings, but never told GOMEZ what he discussed
with HALPERIN.

GOMEZ also advised that about June 1953, just before PERRY's depart-
ure for Rio de Janeiro, PERRY called HALPERIN on the telephone and at
that time HALPERIN was under investigation. PERRY told GOMEZ that
HALPERIN was in a predicament, and that he, PERRY, felt sorry for him.
Earlier PERRY had told GOMEZ that HALPERIN had a lot of influence in
Washington, and was going to get a job for PERRY.

According to the FBI, the HALPERIN mentioned above, appears to be
identical with Maurice Hyman HALPERIN, former employee of OSS, who was
identified in November 1945 by Elizabeth BENTLEY as having furnished
information for transmittal to the Soviet.

PERRY recently contacted this Agency requesting permission to state
that he had worked for the Agency in his application for employment with
USIA. WH Division, to whom this request was forwarded, was advised that
PERRY was not to disclose his past employment with this Agency.
WH Division, in turn, informed Security of their desires that USIA be
informed of PERRY's past connections with this Agency.

Security, on the basis of the above request by WH Division, contacted
the appropriate person in USIA and advised them on a controlled basis of
PERRY's former affiliation with this Agency.

Presentación

Fl autor de este estudio, el Profesor Maurice Halperin, es
uno de los investigadores y catedráticos más prominentes
de los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. Nació en Boston en
1906. Obtuvo su bachillerato en la Universidad de Harvard
en 1926 y la Licenciatura en Letras en la Universidad de
Oklahoma en 1929. Dos años más tarde se doctoró en Letras
y Ciencias Sociales en la Universidad de Paris y fue confe
renciante en la Sorbona sobre la civilización de la América
del Norte.

En los Estados Unidos fue catedrático de la Universidad
de Oklahoma y Jefe del Departamento de Estudios Econó
micos y Geopolíticos Latinoamericanos en la Secretária de
Guerra y en la Secretaría de Estado en Washington, durante
los años de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Como consejero
técnico del Consejo Económico y Social de las Naciones
Unidas trabajó durante tres años, de 1946 a 1949. Volvió a
su Universidad de origen, la de Boston, como catedrático
y Jefe del Departamento de Estudios Latinoamericanos en
donde prestó sus servicios hasta 1953.

Interesado siempre en el estudio de los problemas de las
naciones de la América Latina, fue a Brasil en 1952 y trabajó
como conferenciante er. la Universidad de San Pablo. Por
su labor docente el gobierno del Brasil le otorgó la condecora-
ción de "Oficial de la Orden do Cruzeiro do Sul". Posterior-
mente estuvo en México, siendo Profesor Extraordinario de
la Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Politicas y Sociales de la
Universidad Nacional de México, de 1954 a 1957. Cooperó
también como Asesor Económico del Departamento de Pro-
moción de la Nacional Financiera y en otras institūciones
gubernamentales y privadas de nuestro país.

Ha publicado numerosos estudios, entre otros el titulado
"La América Latina en Transición", que editó la Universi-
dad Nacional de México en 1956, asi como ensayos acerca de
la economía y el desarrollo social en los Estados Unidos
Francia, Alemania, Chile, Brasil y México durante el último
cuarto de siglo.

El Profesor Maurice Halperin actualmente es un Profesor
Visitante en la Academia de Ciencias de la URSS en donde
está dedicado a investigaciones de carácter económico.

El estudio que tiene este pequeño libro, no obstante su
brevedad es uno de los más completos sobre el actual pano-
rama económico de la América Latina. Tanto las cifras como
Ias observaciones y las inférencias lógicas que contiene,
son de un inapreciable valor para los estudios de los pro-
blemas de nuestro Continente. l'or eso pienso que prestará
un gran servicio a quienes se dedican al examen de los gran-
des problemas de nuestro tiempo, en el vasto territorio de
los países semicoloniales del Hemisferio Americano.

México, D. F., agosto de 1961
VICENTE LOMBARDO TOLEDANO

Introducción

La América Latina está atravezando actualmente su
tercera gran crisis económica del siglo XX. En general, las
dificultades actuales pueden ser atribuidas a la excesiva
vulnerabilidad hacia factores externos de una economía que
depende de la exportación de materias primas y de la impor-
tación de productos manufacturados. En este sentido es
la clásica crisis del subdesarrollo neocolonial, como sucedió
con el colapso del comercio internacional durante la guerra
mundial de 1914 a 1918 -primera crisis- y con la depre-
sión mundial al comienzo de la dácada del 30 segunda
crisis.

La disminución actual de la actividad económica asumió,
sin lugar a dudas, proporciones de crisis a principios de
1958. Aunque en algunos aspectos aún no ha alcanzado la
intensidad de la segunda crisis, persiste con tendencia a
profundizarse al entrar en su cuarto año. Al mismo tiempo,
algunos aspectos de la crisis actual la distinguen de las ante:
riores, imprimiéndole un sello especial.

En primer lugar, si bien como las crisis anteriores fue
motivada por factores externos, esta crisis ha sido más
sensible a los descensos y menos a las alzas de los movi-
mientos cíclicos de las economías de los países capitalistas
industrializados. El descenso de los precios de las exporta-
ciones de Latinoamérica precedió a la recesión de 1957-58.
en los Estados Unidos, y ésta condujo, a su vez, a nuevas
mermas en las ganancias por concepto de exportaciones de
América Latina. Sin embargo, la tendencia al descenso
continuó después de la recuperación de los Estados Unidos
(antes de la nueva recesión comenzada a finales de 1960).

MAURICK HALFERIN

y a pesar del alto nivel constante de la actividad económica
en los principales países industriados de Europa Occidental.

En segundo lugar, hay muy pocas perspectivas de que los
mercados normales de Latinoamérica puedan proporcionar
en un futuro próximo suficientes ganancias por concepto de
exportaciones como para restablecer la economía al nivel
anterior. Como después de un exhaustivo análisis a largo
alcance, declara la CEPAL (excluyendo el factor de una
depresión mayor en los Estados Unidos o en Europa Occi-
dental): "La perspectiva de aumento de las exportaciones...
es tan pequeña que apenas excede el crecimiento demográ.
fico probable". Este estudio prevé un ritmo de desarrollo
que en el mejor de los casos sería un poco más de la mitad
del registrado antes de la presente crisis y produciría extra-
ordinarias presiones sobre la posibilidad de estructurar là
economía y sus mecanismos de desarrollo.

En tercer lugar, el debilitamiento-general de los sistemas
mundiales coloniales y neocoloniales, combinado con la ex-
pansión económica del sistema mundial socialista, presenta
nuevas oportunidades para contrarrestar las presiones ex-
ternas, políticas y económicas, que se ejercen sobre Latino-
américa para impedirle tomar medidas en defensa de sus
economías nacionales. De particular importancia es la dispo-
nibilidad de mercados y recurss económicos en los países
socialistas, los cuales pueden ser utilizados para lograr una
efectiva solución de la crisis económica presente.

De aquí que mientras la primera y la segunda crisis
económicas latinoamericanas crearon la necesidad y las con-
diciones para cambios económicos y político-sociales limita-
dos dentro del sistema existente de dependencia neocolonial,
la crisis presente parece estar desarrollándose bajo condi-
ciones que requerirán y, al mismo tiempo, permitirán la éli
minación de la propia dependencia en un período de tiempo
relativamente corto. Los acontecimientos recientes en Cuba
apoyan estas perspectivas y nosotros estimamos que los
factores que causaron el rompimiento de Cuba con el sistema
de dependencia neocolonial no constituyen una excepción.
Esto puede demostrarse examinando los antecedentes de la
presente crisis, por ejemplo, la actuación global de la econo-
mía latinoamericana en el pasado reciente.

1.- El "florecimiento óptimo" de la
economía latinoamericana

Por más de una década después del fin de la segunda
guerra mundial (en términos generales, de 1945 a 1957), la
actividad económica de Latinoamérica en su conjunto man-
tuvo el mayor ritmo de expansión registrado en la región.

Para situar este periodo en su marco propio, deben
formularse dos observaciones preliminares. La primera es
que el nivel de partida del movimiento ascendente de la
economía era relativamente elevado en la región y sustan-
cialmente más alto que el nivel de desarrollo existente en
las áreas dependientes de Asia y Africa. No solamente habia
tenido lugar una recuperación sustancial, después de la
catástrofe de comienzos de la década del 30, sino que tam-
bién en las repúblicas de Latinoamérica mas desarrolladas
y pobladas y con mayor capacidad productiva, se produjo
un proceso considerable de sustitución de importaciones. Asi,
la industria de elaboración que antes de 1930 representaba
una pequeña proporción en la producción global de Latino.
américa, alcanzó a fines de 1945 una equivalente al 65%
de la contribución de la agricultura al producto bruto y fue,
a su vez, considerablemente mayor que la contribución de
la industria minera.

El segundo punto, que debe ser señalado, es que durante
el período que consideramos prevalecieron condiciones ex-
ternas excepcionalmente favorables. El impulso inicial para
la-expansión económica fue la acumulación de divisas regis.
stradá en Latinoamérica durante la segunda guerra mun-
cial. Sin embargo, el auge económico fue estimulado
principalmente por los gastos de reconstrucción, rearme y
satisfacción de demandas pospuestas en los principales
países capitalistas al final de la guerra. Los medios exter
nos mediante los cuales Latinoamérica hubiera podido man-
tener su ritmo de expansión, se restringieron fuertemente

al terminar los reajustes de postguerra y, a partir de ese
momento, comenzó a manifestarse la crisis actual

Desde este punto de vista, es particularmente interesante
la evaluación de la experiencia económica de este periodo.
Dado el nivel relativamente elevado existente al inicio del
mismo y las oportunidades excepcionales de que se dispusie-
ron, el desarrollo alcanzado puede representar algo así como
el "florecimiento óptimo" de la economía latinoamericana,
funcionando de manera tradicional. Por tanto, la cuantía en
que ese "florecimiento" de la econonifa dejó de satisfacer
las necesidades de desarrollo de la región, nos permitirá
estimar las dimensiones reales de la crisis actual

De acuerdo con los datos recopilados por la CEPAL (ver
el cuadro que sigue), el promedio acumulativo anual real de
aumento del producto bruto de la región, fue de un 5%
para el periodo de 12 años. Si excluimos los años de 1956 у
1957, durante los cuales la expansión de postguerra comenzó
a ser menor, el indice fue de 5.2%. Para nuestros propó
sitos la diferencia no es importante: incluso el indice menor
alcanza o excede los de un cierto número de paſses indus-
trializados en Europa Occidental y ciertamente excede el de
los Estados Unidos para el mismo período.

MAURICE HALPERIN

DESARROLLO ECONOMICO Y CRISIS EN LA ANERICA LATINA

Es cierto que por haber aumentado la población de La-
tinoamérica a un promedio anual de 2.5%, el índice del
aumento anual del producto bruto per capita fue de sola-
mente 2.7% para la "década dorada" y de 2.5% para el
periodo de doce años. Sin embargo, aún esta última cifra
es mayor que el histórico 24 de aumento anual del producto
bruto per cápita en los Estados Unidos, aunque es a su vez
varias veces menor que el de los países socialistas.

Es más importante el hecho de que el 2.5% represente
probablemente más del doble del promedio anual "histórico"
de desarrolo en Latinoamérica. Aunque no existen datos
suficientes para establecer esta última afirmación en cuanto
al conjunto de la región, puede suponerse que de 1900 a
1929 ningún país de América Latina superó el ritmo de
desarrollo de Argentina, pues se estimó, como promedio,
en un 1.2% per cápita anual. En el caso de México, por
ejemplo, se cree que entre 1803 y 1934 no se registró prác-
ticamente ningún incremento en los ingresos per cápita..

De lo antes expuesto puede inferirse la conclusión de que
para el conjunto de la región el período que estamos exa-
minando fue un período de incremento poco corriente de la
actividad económica, o, más precisamente, de un aumento
poco habitual del PEN, concepto que, de acuerdo con los
usos oficiales en Latinoamérica y en las Naciones Unidas,
incluye la producción de bienes y la de servicios, cuyo ritmo
de aumento es comúnmente definido como desarrollo. Más
adelante examinareinos hasta qué punto se puede confiar
en este concepto para medir el desarrollo económico en
Latinoamérica. Por el momento consideraremos los factores
externos que estimularon durante este período la elevada
producción de bienes y de servicios en esta región.

2.- Los estímulos externos en la expansión
económica de Latinoamérica

El comercio exterior ha ejercido siempre una influencia
predominante sobre las fluctuaciones cíclicas de la economia
latinoamericana. Así en 1932, en el climax de la gran de
presión, las exportaciones de la región disminuyeron en un
65% en relación con 1929, mientras las importacinoes dismi-
nuyeron, en un 75%. No obstante, una comparación entre
el nivel del comerciò exterior en este año de crisis y el perio-
do que estamos analizando, mostraría una cuadro deformado
de su importancia en la expansión económica de 1945-57.
De ahí que los datos de 1934-38, cuando se había producido
un grado de recuperación aceptable, nos darán una base
mejor para establecer comparaciones. Durante este último
período el promedio anual de exportaciones e importaciones
en conjunto llegaron a 3,500 millones de dólares, cifras re
dondas, o 5,250 millones en dólares de 1950.9

Si consideramos nuestra tabla estadística, poder.vos ver
que hacia 1947, cuando la tendencia a la expansión del c?
mercio exterior en el período de la postguerra ya se habis
desarrollado completamente, el total de las exportaciones
de las importaciones llegó a poco más de 14,000 millones de
dólares de 1950, o sea, un aumento de más del 170% sobre
el promedio anual de 1934-38. Además, de 1945 a 1955, el
poder adquisitivo de las exportaciones latinoamericanas
aumentó en un promedio anual de 5.4%, o sea ligeramente
más que el ritmo de crecimiento del producto bruto de la
región. Es evidente que habían llegado mejores tiempos
para Latinoamérica.

Es necesario un análisis posterior sin embargo, para deter
minar el papel desempeñado por el comercio exterior en la
experiencia económica de la región después de la segunda
guerra mundial. Si retornamos al período relativamente pre
industrial anterior a la gran depresión de 1925-29, nos en-
contramos con que el coeficiente de importaciones, es decir,

DESARROLLO ECONOMICO Y CRISIS EN LA AMERICA LATINA

el valor de las importaciones en tantos por ciento del pro-
ducto bruto nacional, se mantuvo en un 82. En el periodo
correspondiente de 4 años en la década siguiente, cuando el
comercio exterior de Latinoamérica habia vencido los efec-
tos de la depresión, el coeficiente de importaciones ro alcanzó
su nivel anterior y se mantuvo en un 16.6%. Esta nueva
relación, mejor incluso desde el punto de vista del desarrollo
económico, entre el PBN y el comercio exterior, reflejaba
el progreso alcanzado en la producción local de bienes de
consumo, especialmente en los paises más avanzados como
Argentina, Brasil, México y Chile.

Cuando durante la segunda guerra mundial las importa-
ciones fueron de nuevo drásticamente reducidas, se registró
en impetu adicional para la expansión de la industria ligera.
Como consecuencia, al comenzar el periodo de la postguerra
la estructura de la economia era tal, que a pesar de la extra-
ordinaria mejoría del comercio exterior, en comparación con
el periodo de recuperación posterior a la depresión de 1930,
la relación entre el PBN y las importaciones no volvió al
nivel de 1925-29. En su lugar, como indican las cifras de
nuestra tabla estadística, las importaciones fluctuaron alre-
dedor del 16 del PBN, manteniéndose, por tanto, al mismo
nivel relativo de 1934-39.

A primera vista ésto pudiera indicar una disminución de
la importancia del comercio exterior en la provisión de los
medios para la reciente expansión de la actividad económica
en la América Latina. No obstante, un examen más detenido
nos demuestra que lo cierto es justamente lo opuesto. La
evidencia más palpable se advierte en la adquisición de ma-
quinaria y equipos capaces de producir una expansión en
las exportaciones de materias primas, así como de aumentar
la producción de la industria de elaboración. En este sector
de inversiones, obviamente estratégico, que representa apro-
ximadamente el 25% de las inversiones totaies, la produc-
ción local suministró menos del 10 de los productes obte-
nidos. El resto fue comprado en el extranjero y representó
cerca del 33% del valor total de las importaciones.

Asi es claro que el cambio en la estructura de las impor-
taciones de Latinoamérica devino un factor nuevo y crucial
tendiente a perpetuar su dependencia del comercio exterior.
Antes de 1914, por ejemplo, los textiles solamente consti-
tuían más de la mitad de las importaciones." Durante los
años 30, aunque se produjo un aumento notable en la pro-

MAURICE HALPERIN

porción de bienes duraderos y de capital, la mayoría de los
bienes importados eran todavía bienes de consumo y mate-
risles de construcción. Sin embargo, después de 1945 el
baiance cambió definitivamente. Si a la maquinaria y a los
equipos añadimos productos semielaborados y materias pri-
mas industriales, como varios tipos de acero, productos
quimicos, caucho, etc., y combustibles, nos encontramos con
que para 1955, cerca de las dos terceras partes de las im-
portaciones totales de la región, consistieron en medios
de producción y suministros para los mismos. En resu-
men, las exportaciones de Latinoamérica, que básicamente
determinan su capacidad para importar, fueran indudable.
mente el elemento decisivo para momover la expansión eco-
nómica de 1945 a 1957."

El carácter único de la situación externa favorable que
influyó en la actividad económica de este período, requiere
algunes comentarios adicionales para ser bien comprendido.
El gran aumento de la capacidad de importación de Latino-
américa no se debió solamente a la demanda excepcional de
postguerra de que disfrutaron sus exportaciones, sino tam-
bién a otro factor relacionado con ello, aunque menos co-
rriente.

En común con todas las otras regiones dependientes, el
comercio internacional de Latinoamérica ha sido adversa-
mente afectado por la tendencia histórica hacia una creciente
diferencia entre el pequeño aumento de precio de sus expor-
taciones de materias primas y el aumento mayor de los
precios de los productos elaborados que importa. Como resul-
tado, con fluctuaciones considerables de año en año y de un
país a otro, dependiendo de los productos de exportación
y de la fluctuación de la estructura de las importaciones,
para la región en conjunto, a largo plazo, las condiciones del
comercio exterior se han ido deteriorando."

Sin embargo, un extraordinario cambio de esta tendencia
tuvo lugar para el conjunto de la región y en todas las repú-
blicas consideradas por separado: menos Cuba y Argentina,
en la década siguiente a la segunda guerra mundial. En ocho
de las repúblicas, incluyendo Brasil, Colombia y Chile, los
terminos del comercio exterior durante los perídos de 1947-
1949 г 1954-56, mejoraron de un 45% a un 100%. Como
résultado, más de la mitad del aumento del poder adquisitivo
de las exportaciones de Latinoamérica se debió a los efectos
de las mejores condiciones del comercio exterior y el resto

DESARROLLO ECONOMICO Y CRISIS EN LA AMERICA LATINA

correspondió a un aumento en el volumen de las exporta-
ciones."

Saldría de los límites de esta discusión examinar en detalle
las fluctuaciones y la complejidad de los factores que afec-
taron la evolución de los precios de las exportaciones y de
las importaciones principales de la región. En el caso del
café, por ejemplo, que para más de la tercera parte de las
repúblicas es uno de los principales productos de exporta-
ción, una aguda, aunque pasajera disminución en la produc-
ción brasileña causada por condicionės atmosféricas adver-
sas, elevó los precios y estimuló una serie de compras espe
culativas. Con respecto a las importaciones, la tendencia
hacia la sustitución de bienes de consunio por bienes de
capital jugó un papel importante, ya que los precios de estos
últimos tendieron a aumentar más lentamente que los pre-
cios de los bienes de consumo. 17 Además, los precios de los
productos elaborados de Europa Occidental tendieron a decli-
nar durante cierto período debido a la devaluación de la libra
esterlina y otras divisas y en algunos países tuvo lugar
cierto cambio hacia fuentes de abastecimiento europeas.

No obstante, el factor principal en la mejoría de los tér-.
minos del intercambio fue el aumento de precio de las
exportaciones de Latinoamérica, motivado por la demanda
extraordinaria causada por la situación de la postguerra a
la cual nos hemos referido. De manera que fueron circuns-
tancias especiales, en lugar de fuerzas económicas básicas,
las que produjeron la variación en los términos del comercio
y el mantenimiento de la tendencia durante un período tan
largo. Cuando estas circunstancias desaparecieron, la ten-
dencia histórica a la decadencia volvió a manifestarse y
llegó a su fin este período de "florecimiento óptimo" de la
economía. En 1958 el aumento per cápita del PBN fue sola-
mente de 0.5%, descendiendo a 0.3% y en 1959 y a un nivel
probablemente aún más bajo en 1960.18

MAURICE HALPERIN

3.- Otras consideraciones acerca
del tema principal

Examinando ahora la actividad económica propiamente
dicha, recordemos que para Latinoamérica, en conjunto, el
promedio anual de aumento del PBN per cápita, fue de 2.7%
para la década posterior a la guerra y de 2.5% para los 12
años. Considerando las repúblicas por separado, la gran ma-
yoría compartió esta expansión en un grado mayor o menor
y relativamente se registraron pocas variaciones en los ni-
veles comparatives de sus respectivos PBN per capita, sin
embargo debe examinarse la tendencia en algunos de los
países más importantes.

. El ritmo de desarrollo de México, aunque aminoró después
de 1950, fue aproximadamente el mismo que el del conjunto
de la región durante el periodo de 12 años. En 1957 el PBN
per cápita de México alcanzó 280 dólares, siendo todavía
menor que el nivel de 335 dólares registrado en ese año para
el conjunto de la región."

La marcha de la economía brasileña fue notablemente
mejor que el promedio, con un incremento anual per cápita
de cerca de 3.5. Como resultado, durante los 12 años, el
PBN per cápita relativamente bajo del Brasil mejoró sufi-
cientemente llegando a ser en 1957 aproximadamente igual
al de, México. El fenómeno brasileño refleja en parte la
situación especiamente favorable de los países exportadores
de café. Así, el aumento de! per cápita de los países produc-
tores de café de Centroamérica y de Colombia fue mayor
que el promedio de Latinoamérica. Esta última República,
por ejemplo, registró un incremento anual per cápita de
cerca del 3% entre 1945 y 1957.

En el caso de Argentina, se notó una desviación conside-
rable. del ritmo medio de desarrollo regional. Aunque de
1945 a 1948 se registró un extraordinario incremento anual
per cápita de 6.4%, para el periodo de 12 años, el aumento

DESARROLLO ECONOMICO Y CRISIS EN LA AMERICA LATINA

promedio per capita fue solamente de 1% anual Un factor
significativo de la decadencia posterior a 1948 fue la situa-
ción desfavorable de las exportaciones argentinas de carnes
y granos.. Como resultado se produjo un continue empeога-
miento en los términos del comercio exterior, tendencia
excepcional en la América Latina, compartida solamente por
Cuba como indicamos anteriormente. Sin embarga con un
PBN per capita de 525 dólares en 1957, el nivel argentino
se mantuvo muy superior ai promedio latinoamericano y
solamente detrás de Venezuela, país del que trataremos
posteriormente".

La desviación chilena de la norma regional fue aún mayor
que la argentina. De 1945 a 1955 el PBN prácticamente se
mantuvo, mientras que en los años siguientes disminuyó
alrededor de un 8%. En realidad, a partir de 1953 el ritmo
de desarrollo no logró mantenerse al nivel del aumento de
población. Asi el PBN per capita chileno que en 1945 era
bastante más elevado que el promedio latinoamericano, dis-
minuyó a menos de 300 dólares en 1957.

La experiencia chilena también es excepcional desde otro
punto de vista. La economía del país se mantuvo estancada,
aunque disfruto de una mejoría sustancial en las condiciones
del comercio exterior. Este fenómeno refleja en parte el
fracaso de las ganancias posteriores a la segunda guerra al
no lograr recuperar lo perdido después de la debacle del
cobre en la depresión del 30, pero más aún refleja la disi-
pación improductiva de los recursos adquiridos durante el
período de bonanza posterior a la guerra".

Finalmente, Cuba, duramente afectada por la caida del
precio del azúcar después de la guerra de Corea y a pesar
del alza de 1956-57, tampoco logró elevar su PBN per capita
durante el periodo de doce años. El PBN per cápita de Cuba,
que era de 485 dólares en 1957. se mantuvo considerable-
mente más elevado que el promedio de Latinoamérica.

De aquí que el desarrollo extremadamente lento de la
Argentina y el estancamiento de Chile y Cuba (que juntas
constituyen aproximadamente el 17% de la población de
América Latina) representan tendencias no comunes y, por
consiguiente, su situación excepcional debe ser tenida en
cuenta. Sin embargo, desde el punto de vista global, el caso.
de estos países no invalida el significado, cualquiera que este
sea, que pueda ser atribuido a los cálculos oficiales del des-
arrollo de Latinoamérica en conjunto.

MAURICE HALPERIN

4.- Perspectivas de aumento
aparente del PBN.

Ha llegado el momento de preguntarnos, ¿cuál es el signi
ficado de los cálcuos oficiales mencionados anteriormente?
¿Qué desarrollo y que tipo de desarrollo fue el alcanzado
durante este histórico "florecimiento óptimo" de la eco-
nomia de Latinoamérica? Comenzaremos aceptando en su
valor nominal la cifra de 2.5% como promedio anual de
incremento per cápita del PBN de la región. Como ya vimos,
el PBN alcanzó en 1957 su cifra mäs alta de todos los tiem-
pos: $35 dólares. Si Latinoamérica pudiera recuperarse y
mantener ininterrumpidamente su ritmo de desarrollo de
1945 a 1957, a partir del momento en que se produjera esta
recuperación, tardaría alrededor de 55 años para alcanzar el
PBN per cápita de Francia o Inglaterra en 1957 que fue de
1300 dólares. Alcanzar el PBN per capita de los Estados
Unidos en 1957, que era de 2600, dólares, demandaría cerca
de $5 años.

Si consideramos las posibilidades hipotéticas de algunas
de las repúblicas latinoamericanas por separado, el pronós-
tico no sería más alentador. Aunque Brasil, con su ritmo
de desarrollo de 3.5% per capita, estaría en condiciones más
ventajosas que la mayoría de las otras repúblicas, desde el
momento en que su economia se recuperara, le exigiría 414-00000

SUBJECT GYROSE/Operational
AMDENIM-1 Progress Report - 13 August 1962

REF: UFGA-4425 dated 19 June 1962

1. SUMMARY: In the period since ref progress report AMDENIM-1 has been primarily engaged in keeping his fences mended with the various exile groups in the area in anticipation of mov- ing into a position in the AMSUD-1 organization in which he will be responsible for coordinating the selection of paramilitary candidates from these groups. In addition to this he has prepared a number of reports providing background information, and on cur- rent activities in the local PRPUNEN community and mounting Operation Antonico I, an effort to establish contact with PBRUMEN fishermen thru his own fisherman contacts. Details follow:

OPERATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS

2. In response to a Station request subject provided an estimate of the current situation in PBRUMEN. This report stressed the points that the farmers and the fishermen in PBRUMEN are the most willing and capable of providing support to resis- tance activities as a result of their having suffered the most at the hands of the current administration after being largely responsible for its obtaining power. He also provided a general strategic plan of Oriente Province in which he defined the main areas in which guerrilla elements can survive and how they can be reached from coastal resupply points. His ability to do this is based upon his being a native of the area and one who has been primarily interested in its geography due to his former large agriculture holdings there.

3. He has had one meeting with AMBUD-1 for the purpose of maintaining contact. His main question to AMBUD-1 was with regard to the latter's ability to actually control the people on his staff. He was disappointed by the reply which though positive could not be supported with an example of where AMBUD-1 had actually brought

about the dismissal of anyone who had proved to be ineffective. AMDENIM-1 is a good friend of AMBUD-1 as a result of his father's long standing relationship with him, but at this point has very little respect for him as a result of, as he says, AMBUD-1's failure to actually make his organization into an effective body and to engage in activities which actually detract from the success of the current PRPUNEN regime. It remains that he is willing to for A Operation while attempting to create unity among the military sections of the member groups at such time as KUBARK gives him the go ahead.

4. Following his belief that the most important job at hand is the development and maintenance of maritime reception points along the north coast of PBRUMEN, AMDENIM-1 has devoted considerable time to readying assets among his exiled fisherman friends to make contact with their former fisherman associates still based in PBRUMEN. The foundation for this activity is quite tenuous as a result of a variety of factors which make it difficult to arrange sea rendezvouses in the absence of radio contact. Several trips have been made to the Anguila Key area for this purpose, the last of which was supported.by KUBARK and was called Operation Antonico I. This attempt was unsuccessful due to the failure of the inside contact to appear. It developed that the woman and child who were to be exfiltrated on this operation appeared in the JMWAVE area two days later, having obtained permission to leave PBRUMEN by air. They carried the message that someone had stolen the port chief's personal boat as a result of which the inside contact was unable to depart on schedule due to the implementation of temporary re- strictions until the theft had been investigated. She said the next rendezvous was scheduled for 12 August, however imminent bad weather forestalled any chance of making this rendezvous. The effort to establish contact continues on the basis that, once a Comno system can be set up, it will be comparatively easy to es- tablish further rendezvouses and thus develop ratlines into the north coast.

5. Coincidentally with the above AMDENIM-1 is continuing his efforts to come up with radio operator candidates and to obtain candidates for infiltration. Based upon past experience this effort is being made more selective in that the need for more self sufficient personnel is greater than ever. The increasing diffi- culty of covering people inside makes it necessary to reduce the size of the infiltration parties and to have people who can with- stand the rigors of existing on minimum supplies until they can establish themselves with natives who are willing to provide them with a base of operations. Most of the people who are willing to infiltrate at this point are of the type who want immediate action and are unwilling to take the time to establish a clandestine base from which they can methodically develop the assets in place who are essential to the growth and refinement of a resistance base. He has a number of people on tap who are qualified as candidates for small guerrilla teams, but who are not capable of maintaining themselves clandestinely until the time for guerrilla action arrives.

6. FUNDS EXPENDED:

a. $200. was given to Heriberto SARDINAS Campo as maintenance until his clearance comes through. It is intended that SARDINAS will be an investigator of operational leads and an assistant to AMDENIM-1 in the handling of his fishermen and operational candidates.

b. $300. was given to ANDE!!IM-1 for passage to the widow of AMGLAD-1. He is the channel for this payment until such time as HOs arrives at a settlement figure and this obligation can be disposed of.

c. $325. was given to AMDENIM-1 in support of Operation Antonico I, which operation is described under para- graph 4.

7. INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTION: ANDENIM-1 has provided a number of memoranda on developments within the various exile groups in the JMWAVE area, none of which qualify as intelligence information but all of which contribute to the Station's better_understanding of the local politics, Specifically, he has provided info on the political beliefs and background of most of the PBRUMEN exiled labor leaders and the activities of the Bequer group. He has also been helpful in clarifving the picture as to the movements within the UR at this time while the Station is trying to determine how best to organize this group in order to be able to take over its more worthwhile features without becoming unduly committed to giving it special prominence in the exile community. He is being counted on to help bring the UR into the AMBUD-1 organization as a means of creating the appearance of greater unity among the exile community.

8. COMMENTS AND FLANS: While no spectacular achievements are resulting from AMDENIM-l's efforts at this point he is steadily becoming more and more susceptible to KUBARK control and more professional in his efforts. A recent example is the critique he gave his fishermen for not realizing more information out of the refugees they met at Anguila Key while waiting for their inside contact. They had failed to adequately debrief two young men, who had succeeded in surviving in PBRUMEN for over two months on their own, on the basis that they were too young to be knowledgeable. As it turned out the two refugees had used the cover of sponge salesmen and had been able to travel from Havana to Santiago de Cuba without being stopped once. On learning of this, AMDENIM-1 was reminded of a good cover he has heard about, namely fighting cock fanciers, which activity seems to be on the increase as a result of the greater amount of spare time available to the people. The sport is actually becoming a year around proposition rather than being restricted to the winter months as in the past. It is planned to have AMDENIM-1 continue his present pursuits on the basis that he is free to move as the Station desires and can have an overall constructive effect on the AMBUD-1 organization at the time desired. He will continue his efforts with the fishermen and will provide candidates for infiltration as they become available and can be accepted by the Station. Operation Antonico III is scheduled for 27 August using a Magnolia (boat) to establish contact with fishermen living on a key in the Caibarien area. There is a possibility that he will journey to Jamaica to make contact with an old associate who is now a prominent member of the PBRUMEN government as a means of eliciting information on current regime policy and plans.

1. Source transited Helsinki in May 1961, at which time he
 obtained a visa at the Soviet Embassy from one KLIMOV. Beginning
 shortly after Christmas 1961 and continuing on and off for the
 next three months, Source was interrogated by the KGB in Moscow
 about his contacts with the KGB Legal Residency in Helsinki.
 Source prepared a written report giving in detail the physical
 description of all KGB officers who had met him in Helsinki.

2. In 1963 or 1964 Source was told by the KGB that it was
 unlikely he would ever he assigned to the United States as a
 Soviet who had defected in Helsinki could personally identify
 Source.

ΑΣΥ: OPHA-7261, 4 June 65

ACTION: FYI

1. Subject was interviewed for an immigrant visa on 7 July 65.
Unfortunately Clastonbury could not be present because of other business.
The interviewing officer was briefed prior to the meeting and faced the
applicant with a series of questions regarding her association with
Soviets and any approaches that may have been made to her in light of her
unusual life. In response to these questions, we are told that SLIOOR
gave thoughtful consideration to each question and probably truthfully
replied that although she has met several Soviet diplomats, no approaches
for cooperation were made to her. She realized the full implication of
the questions and made no attempts to be evasive. Subject was given
her visa immediately after the interview.

2. Attachment 1 is a translation of the VALIK traces on subject.
As noted in the traces SLIOOR was an acquaintance of Griferiv GOB
(201-150156) and Georgiy STERING: born 29 June 1913 in Moscow (aka
Georgi STEINING OPHA-1807, 30 July 56 and OPHW1456, 9 October 56).
These names were not used in the interview.

3. Attachment 2 is a thermofax copy of SLIOOR's visa; Attachment 3;
birth record; Attachment 4, marriage certificate.

4. From subject's visa application her address in the U.S. is listed
as Fort Hood, Texas.

REF: OFH-4656, 18 June 1965

1. Concerning as part of Section 12 of the CPR on Mikhail Vasilyevich KURIACHEV (201-205139), forwarded with reference, are the following entries: Station would like to clarify
some of the information previously reported by the Station which undoubtedly has led Headquarters to the conclusion contained in the second paragraph immediately below.

When told that Subject (Mikhail Vasilyevich KURIACHEV 201-205139) has been posted to Finland, Sommer (a Soviet defector) commented that Subject (JRASHOV) could probably be responsible for penetrating the police.

(This speculation by Source is probably not correct since this responsibility belongs to Petr Nikitovich SAVALVEY, who arrived in Helsinki about the same time that Subject did, to replace Ivan Yefimovich SERGEYEV.)

2. Petr Nikitovich SAVALVEY (201-140400), Counsellor of Embassy and head of the Press Section. SAVALVEY filled the Counsellor slot vacated by Vasiliy Vasilievich SOLOKO (201-142338) who dealt with trade. We do not recall the Chief of the Press Section prior to SAVALVEY's arrival, however, SAVALVEY is NOT the replacement for Ivan ANNOYEV (201-259447) as stated in CS 75447, 13 February 1962.

3. We doubt very much that SAVALVEY was involved in police penetration. His contacts in Finland (also in Norway) were for the most part with the press (2610, 22 Nov 1964, etc.) and he circulated freely in that medium. Considering his work. Since SAVALVEY did not speak Finnish, despite the fact the HELINKI informed us he spoke fairly good Finnish (CS-5447) which was probably an initial assessment on their part.

4. Although a CD suspect during his tour in Norway, his

activities in Helsinki at first appeared to be those of a KGB CO-optee, and later more obviously those of a KGB officer in the CA field. Walter R. GASSMANN's contacts with SAVALVEY took place either in press circles or in the presence of Aleksey SHUMAROV (201-205095) whom we suspect of being the deputy rezident in Helsinki. Thus the milieu in which SAVALVEY operated, we tend to place him in the 2US category rather than in CA.

5. SAVALVEY, who left for home leave on 10 July 1964 and never returned, was replaced by NGS officer Albert AKULOV (201-232590), first secretary and press attache.

6. Concerning Ivan Yefimovich SERGEYEV (201-259447), SERGEYEV replaced NGS officer Gregory Ye. GOLD (201-150156), Chief of the Consular Section. After the defection of ANISIMOV, this Section was in confusion and the exact slot-for-slot replacements are not known. In our best judgment, SERGEYEV was replaced by Anatoliy PAVLOV (201-331811) who departed 2 March 1963 because of ill health. PAVLOV was temporarily replaced by an officer Denis Vasilyevich PERELETOV ostensibly assigned to the Cultural Section (22QFLA-6083, 6 March 1964) who departed 31 March 1964 also because of ill health. PERELETOV was replaced for consular responsibilities by KGB officer Feliks Dmitryevich KARASEV (201-736991).

23 December 1927 41 Yrs old Born Moscow

Staticned in Havana from September 1960 until September 1963. Attache.
In 1961 he toured Latin America with the Soviet Soccer team as escort
and interpreter (probably with security functions as well). He arrived
August 1965 as Third Secretary. He replaced NECHIPORENKO. His Spanish
has been described as fluent with hardly any accent. His English is fair
and is studying it now.

In March 1966, XX LICOZY/5 was told he would be handled in the future by
L..

In response to L's claim that a radio had been stolen from him, a policeman
was sent to his aprtment and L. ended the conversation by recruiting the
policeman at the rate of 5000 Pesos per month. The policeman reported the
incident and the Metropolitan District Police sanctioned a D/A co. The
first and only recorded recuirement given the policeman by L was for some
Bio data on Venezuelan who spent time in USSR.

thạt 1/5 is uncoo erative and nearly refuses to work with L.

SUMMARY

SUSCEPTIBILITY: Nothing in the conventional sense. If he is trying to
tell us anything he is obviously trying to get our attention via a CI
ploy with the intention of bringing us to him. He moves with confidence
and near-impunity- certainly not like one who might be in trouble.

PROFESSICANLISM: Not smooth and subtle nor particularly secure. But
crafty, fast on his feet, makes fast decisions and then acts on them.
Aggressive and ubiquitous. Socially active. Woman-chaser.

PERSONALITY: See above.

Should be leaving before another year and one-half. Has been there for
: three and one-half years.

in Mexico City between 29 November and 3 December 1965, The visitor appears
to be a Soviet; however, LIFIRE has not reported any inaccounted for Soviet
to have visited Mexico during this period, nor was the presence of a Soviet
visitor reported to the Station by any other source. The has not been seen
since 3 Decesber 1265.
2. According to LICALLA, the visitor was principally in contact with the

1. LICOZY/5 reported that on 12 October 1965 Subject visited
his place of business and said that he had been referred to LICOZY/S
by the Soviet Embassy. He said he was intorested in a one-way ticket
to the Soviet Union. Subject furnished the following information
to LICOZY/5 : Ho was born on 19 August 1942 in Michigan. He is
a student at U.C.L.A. and wanted to visit the USSR as a tourist.
Subject held U. S. passport number C 530394 issued 29 August 1962.
His permanent address was given as 19222 Pacific Coast liighway....
Malibu, California. His tourist card showed that he entered Mexico
by bus at Soncita, Sonora on 9 October 1965. Subject paid for 15
days in the Soviet Union but said that he planned to stay longer.
2. He ift Mexico via Air France flight 702 on 16 October
(confirmed by flight manifests). His plans call for him to depart
Paris for Moscow via Air France flight 724 on 17 October.
3. During a routine visit to the Consular Section of the Soviet
Embassy, Valentin S. LOGINOV thanked LICOZY/5 for "taking care"
of Subject but, in the presence of both PRIKHODKO and Consular
officer Vladimir S. KORMUSHKIN, LOGINOV admonished LICOZY/S for asking
for more biographic-data than he needed to fill out the necesзагу
papers. LICOZY/5 denied that he had asked for more information than
ho needed. (Subject apparently reported LicoZY/S's actions in
obtaining the above biographic data (or was debriefed by LOGINOV,
a suspect KGB officer).
4. It seems unusual for an American student to travel from the
U. S. to Mexico in order to travel to the Soviet Union since ho is
automatically increasing the cost of his travel by a considerable
amount. Since Subject crossed into Mexico on 9 October, only a
week before his departure for the USSR, it would appear that he
came to Mexico exclusively for this purpose. It thus appears that
the purpose of travelling via Mexico was to conceal this trip from
the U. S. authorities.

11. CURRICULUM VITAE:
A February 1960 Diplomatic List from Argentina lists Subject as
a new Soviet Military Attache due to arrive in Buenos Aires in the near.
future. There is no indication that Subject ever filled that post.
From September 1960 to September 1963, Subject and family were
in Havana where Subject served as an Attache at the Soviet Embassy. In
December 1961, he accompanied the Soviet DYNAMO soccer team on a Latin
American tour as their escort and interpreter.
;
Subject arrived in Mexico City on 3 August 1965 to replace known
KGB officer Oleg Maksimovich NECHIPORENKO (201 305870), as a Third
Secretary.
12. INTELLIGENCE AFFILIATION:
Subject is listed as probable RIS, probably KGB.on the basis of
:
۱۰
his activities while stationed in Havana and by virtue of his replacing
a known KGB officer in Mexico City. Per HMMA-28390, 3mai
considered Known KGB.
13. INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITY:

While Subject accompanied the DYNAMO soccer team through, La Paz
in December 1961, he became acquainted with KISHIN-1 (Identity 1), a
KUBARK Bolivian security service penetration and later a low level
Bolivian university-cell CP penetration. It is not recorded upon whose
initiative the contacts were made. However, by KISHIN-1's admission
he had several informal and friendly meetings with Subject during which
Subject encouraged KISHIN-1 to accept a Cuban student grant. In fact he
specifically expressed an eagerness to be of any assistance in helping
KISHIN-1 to get to. Cuba. KISHIN-1 never went to Cuba, although he did

correspond with Subject on the matter on at least one occasion. KISHIN-1
was terminated as an agent in July 1963 for security reasons and because
it was believed that he was a fabricator. No further developments in
his association with Subject were noted.
t
ال
?
On the same trip through Latin America in December 1961, Subject
২১
was observed to have in his possussion some $2,000 in United States
currency. After sending the soccer team back to Moscow from Quito,
Subject continued alone through Panama City, where he was seen in contact
with a Mexican citizen with whom he flew on to Mexico City. In Mexico
City Subject reported to known KGB officer Aleksey Ivanovich GARMASHOV
(201 227418) at the Soviet Embassy. From a sensitive source it was
learned that GARMASHOV had been instructed to look into the matter of
Subject's four-day delay in returning to Havana from Quito and that
Subject's superiors in Havana were concerned. It is not known what
relationship, if any, these circumstances have to each other.
1
In Havana carly in 1963, Subject befriended and apparently attempted
to cultivate VASLOUCHS 1, 2, and 3 (Identities 2, 3, and 4). The
association was discouraged by KUBARK because VASLOUCH-1 and 2 were
performing important functions in connection with Cuban FI activities and
contact with a possible RIS officer was not thought desireable.
In September 1962 at the invitation of Senhor Vazco Leitão de CUNHA,
Brazilian Ambassador to Cuba and newly appointed Ambassador to the Soviet
Union, VASLOUCH-3 traveled to Moscow and accepted a clerical position
at the Brazilian Embassy where she remained for approximately two years. A
year later, in September 1963, Subject returned PCS to Moscow. Between
December 1963 and February 1964, Subject made three attempts to see
VASLOUCH-3. According to VASLOUCH-3, the contacts were by telephone only

and she did not meet with Subject personally while in Moscow.
15. CONTACTS:
In December 1961 in La Paz, Bolivia, Subject was in contact with
KISHIN-1. See paragraph 13 above and Identities.
Subject was in contact in Panama City and on a flight from Panama
City to Mexico City in December 1961 with Edmundo Fausto ZORRILLA
Martinez, a Mexican citizen who had been traveling around Latin America.
The nature of this contact has not been determined.
Subject befriended and apparently attempted to develop in Havana

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: E. Howard Hunt

1. I phoned Paul Burns, Special Assistant to the DDO, and
said that we had some leads that could be followed by whoever has
the action in the DDO in tracking down Hunt's activities during the
fall of 1964, when he was alleged to have been engaged in surveillance
activities of Barry Goldwater.

2. I said that our files showed Hunt was in DO Division (Burns
was not familiar with that title, but recognized it as the predecessor
of FR Division) and in August 1964 was assigned to the Washington
field office. I suggested that Stan Gaines, who was Deputy Division
Chief of DO Division and now DCOS Bonn, might be in a position to
give a few groups on what Hunt was supposed to be doing then. I
suggested that he be queried by cable. Burns said Gaines is staying
on under contract for a while, so would continue to be available.

3. I said that Fig Coleman was on the Iberian desk when the
Hunt assignment to Madrid was brought up in 1964 and when Hunt
went to the field in 1965, He could give the background on the assign-
ment, which seems to have been through Karamessines at Helms'
direction. His recollection would give leads. I told him that Coleman
became COS Madrid later, after Hunt left Spain, and could provide
information on what Hunt did not do for the Agency during that period.
I suggested that both Helms and Karamessines should be queried.
I gave as a possible press treatment that Hunt was engaged in
domestic operations (something Senator Baker is pursuing) and that
his assignment to Spain after the election could be presented as giving
him time to cool off. I thought we had to pursue the matter to be
sure we know the facts.

4. I asked Burns to be sure that we are on information distribution
of cables to the field on this, given our assigned responsibility for
keeping files on Watergate. He said we are on the PLMHPLANK for
messages to Helms. He would advise the action officer. I said we are
available for any help we can give.

MEMORANDUM FOR: OPS/RMO
SUBJECT : Watergate File Research - Final Report

1. The files of the immediate office of the Chief, OPS/OSG
have been checked for material relevant to the subject of this
memorandum. The check included chronological files of communi-
cations of which I was the author while assigned to Madrid, Spain
in the period July 1970 to July 1973. Nothing pertinent was found.

2. I have attempted to recollect any other details which
conceivably could be pertinent and which relate to the period
of my assignment to Madrid. The only points which I recall but
on which I have no documentation are these:

a. There were occasional joshing inquiries made of me
by American residents of Madrid about the reported presence
in Spain of E. Howard Hunt in 1972. My standard reply was
that I knew only what I had heard rumored. For the record,
at no time did Hunt contact me, and I have never known of his
having tried to contact any Station personnel in Spain during
the period 1970-73. I made no effort personally to ascertain.
whether or not Hunt was in Spain, and I had no effort made by
any Station member.

b. A Station officer, possibly Richard Ouderkirk, now
assigned to Guatemala, was given some information by an
informant in 1972 concerning reported activities in Spain
by Robert Vesco. I suggested that the information be given
informally to the Embassy's Economic Section chief, John
Oliver. That officer was charged with keeping abreast of
developments related to Vesco. The Station did. not pursue
that subject, as I recall, because it was not a topic of
reportable interest, according to requirements of the period.

Management and Services, the Office of Finance has searched

2. We have searched the following records:

Ca. The expense runs for the period July 1964 to
June 1973 for the immediate Office of the DCI,
the immediate Office of the DD/P, FI Staff,
CI Staff, CA Staff and the Office of Security.
We have checked various items that were re-
flected in these expense records but have
identified nothing relating to Mr. Hunt.

b. The Madrid Station, JMWAVE and FR/Washington
Office accountings to determine if there were
funds passed by the Stations to Mr. Hunt during
the year he served under non-official cover in
Madrid. We could find no payment to Mr. Hunt
• either in his true name or his two identified
pseudonyms.

c. Mr. Hunt's travel claims for the period
1960-1972 and have found nothing in these
travel claims that were not consistent with
normal travel expenses, i.e., transportation,
per diem.

:
d. We made a specific analysis of Mr. Hunt's
advance account for the period he was under
non-official cover (July 65-Sept '66) and have

determined that $33,500 was advanced to him
for travel and transportation of household
goods to and from Madrid with one trip to
Paris for he and his family to renew their
Spanish visas. All of this advance was fully
accounted for. However, in his accounting,
one item appeared unusual. It was an
expenditure of $1,600 for a sensitive
operation which was approved for write-off by Mr.
Desmond Fitzgerald on 1 June 1966 without
further accounting...

Chase Manhattan Bank in Mr. Hunt's name to receive all non-
salary payments. (Mr. Hunt had an account at Riggs National
Bank to receive his salary and allowance payments). The
following deposits were made to the account during 1965 and
1966:
Account opened: 13 July 1965
13 July 1965 $10,000
22 July 1965 5,000
15 September 1965 5,000
6 October 1965 5,000
19 July 1966 5,000
$30,000
به

All of the above have been accounted for by submission
of travel and transportation accountings.

5. We feel at this time without specific guidelines that
further searching would be somewhat fruitless. One strange.
aspect of the non-official cover assignment in Madrid is that
all the cost's were charged to the support allotment of the
EUR Division which is not normal as non-official cover people
are usually assigned to a project. It is unusual to have a
case officer abroad for one year on an operational assignment
without him incurring operational expenditures.

6. The Office of Finance has not found operational
expenditures except for the $1,600 mentioned above.
Therefore, it is suggested that Mr. Karamessines be questioned
as to a project or projects to which. Mr. Hunt's operational
expenditures if incurred would have been charged.

7. Another possible course of action is to request the
Director to approve my asking a cleared contact at Chase
Manhattan Bank to provide a transcript of all entries into
Mr. Hunt's Chase Manhattan Bank account..

8. We are currently reviewing records of all cashier's
checks prepared and issued by Monetary to determine if any
were payable to Mr. Hunt. Hopefully this effort will be
finished by the end of the week.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: E. Howard Hunt

1. I spoke with Fig Coleman about Hunt's assignment to Spain.
I had spoken with him back in August when we were inquiring into
reported activities involving Mrs. Hunt.

:
2. Coleman said that he got out of the War College in May 1964
(by which he fixed the time), and took over the Iberian desk. Bill.
Ryan was C/EUR (or was it WE Division at the time). In early autumn
Ryan said that he had just been informed by the DDP (Karamessines)
that Hunt was to be assigned to Madrid as DCOS, as a directed assign-
ment by Helms. A memo was prepared and sent to the COS, Jim Noel
(now retired). There was nothing further for about a month when Ryan
called Colemar in and showed him a RYBAT letter from Noel stating
that Ambassador Stanley J. Woodward would not have Hunt in the
Embassy.

3. Woodward had been the Ambassador to Uruguay when Hunt
was COS Montevideo. He had a low opinion of Hunt and was counting
the days until Hunt left. The President of Uruguay visited President
Eisenhower in the States, at which time he requested a personal favor--
that Hunt be reassigned to Montevideo. So Hunt took another tour.
Woodward was outraged, and had his revenge in 1964 when Hunt was
to be sent as DCOS to Madrid.
:

4. After a couple of months--early 1965--Ryan called Coleman
in and, observing that there was more than one way to skin a cat,
told him that. Hunt was going to Spain under nonofficial cover. This
didn't require anything special, Ryan saying that he didn't know
much about it. It came to him from Karamessines on Helms' order.
Hunt was to have the telephone number of the COS, but he would do
nothing for the station. Hunt was to submit administrative vouchers
for reimbursement of his expenses and they were to be paid. Coleman
said he never saw Hunt before he went out. He knows that there was
no operational reporting, to indicate that Hunt was doing anything.
L

14-00000
CONFIDENTIAL
The vouchers were not large, although the documentation was poor.
Coleman raised the question with Ryan about his signing off, and
Ryan said he could talk to Karamessines if he wished. Because
Coleman had a close personal association with Karamessines he
did just that. He was told by Karamessines that he didn't know much
about it either--"Helms said send him out." He was instructed to go
ahead.

5. In early July 1966 (4 July) Coleman went to Madrid. He
had a ten day turnover with Jim Noel. Hunt had already gone and
he did not see him. Noel said he didn't know what Hunt did, but
that Coleman need not worry because he was gone.

6. Several months ago Noel was at a seminar at which
Ambassador Woodward was also present. At the time he asked
about Hunt. Woodward said it might still be dragged into the press.
Tad Szulc had been after Woodward about the Hunt assignment to
Spain. Coleman observed that Szulc did have a long article on Hunt
in the New York Times, and the Spain assignment was mentioned,
but without any conclusions as to its significance.

7. Coleman said the RYBAT file of C/EUR may have something on
the event, but not much. A letter out and the reply, but not much more.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: E. Howard Hunt--Madrid Assignment

1. On 22 February 1974, Mr. Frederick. N. Evans
and the undersigned interviewed Mr. Edward Ryan,
Chief, Staff D, Deputy Director for Operations, on
the subject of Mr. E. Howard Hunt. During the period
of Mr. Hunt's assignment as a Contract A agent
to Madrid between July 1965 and September 1966, Mr.
Ryan had been the Deputy Chief of the Western European
Division, Deputy Director for Plans. The purpose of
the interview was to determine if Mr. Ryan had any
information bearing on the matter of the operational
assignment of Mr. Hunt during this period.

2. Mr. Ryan stated that the assignment of Mr.
Hunt both to the European Division and to Madrid was
handled without benefit of the routine processing
procedures through the Western European Division.
Mr. Hunt's assignment was coordinated and directed
by Mr. Thomas Karamessines, the Assistant Deputy Director
for Plans. With regard to operational duties, Mr. Ryan
was unaware of any specific project or target for Mr.
Hunt. Mr. Ryan made the specific observation that if
Mr. Hunt produced positive intelligence on the Iberian
target during this period the officials responsible
for this effort within the Western European Division
were totally unaware of it.

3. Mr. Ryan stated that most of his knowledge of
Mr. Hunt's activity and the nature of his assignment
during this period came more through hearsay than
direct official knowledge. For example, he cited the
comment made by a mutual acquaintance of his and Mr.
Hunt's to the effect that Mr. Hunt stated that while
in Madrid he was going to "play golf and write books."
Mr. Ryan was asked specifically whether or not he was
2

under the impression that Mr. Hunt's writing activities
were either being encouraged or subsidized directly
by this Agency in any official effort. Mr. Ryan re-
sponded that he was personally not aware of any such
arrangement. He added as an expression of personal
opinion that Mr. Hunt had no operational function and
was simply granted the opportunity to write books for
his own personal gain at Government expense during this
period.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Conversation with Sam Halpern

1. I met with Sam Halpern for about 20 minutes this morning
in GG10, where he is cleaning up some details before he goes to
his new assignment as DC/DCD. I told him generally about our
attempt to reconstruct Howard Hunt's assignments and financial
transactions, and asked him particularly for recollections he may
have of Hunt's assignment in Spain in mid-1965 to the fall of 1966.

2. Halpern said that he has no recollection about such an
assignment. In June 1965 he moved from WH Division with Des
FitzGerald when he became the DD/P. At about that time
Halpern's father died and he was in New York for the funeral
and ten days of religious observations following that. He was back
in mid-June and in and out from then on as he got ready to attend
the National War College which began in August. He did not return
to that office until the end of June 1966.

3. Halpern observed that during this period Karamessines
was ADDP with Helms moving up to be DDCI. He thought it entirely
possible that Helms and Karamessines could have handled this
on their own.

4. Halpern said that Evan Parker had come into the office
of the DD/P shortly before Helms became DDCI, and had returned
from Honolulu for that purpose. He stayed on for FitzGerald until
Halpern returned from the National War College. He suggested
someone might talk to Evan Parker who may have known something
about it (although he may not). He also suggested talking to Georgia.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Watergate--Frank A. O'Malley

1. At 3 p.m. on the afternoon of 19 February 1974,
Mr. Frederick N. Evans and Lawrence J. Howe interviewed
Mr. Frank A. O'Malley at his residence, 6419 Lakeview
Drive, Falls Church, Virginia. Mr. O'Malley retired
from this Agency in June of 1972. Prior to retirement
Mr. O'Malley was an officer in the External Employment
Assistance Branch, Retirement Activities Division of
the Office of Personnel. It was Mr. O'Malley's function
to assist personnel retiring from this Agency in finding
post-retiroment employment. In this capacity Mr. O'Malley
had been instrumental in the placement of Mr. E. Howard
Hunt in the Robert R. Mullen public relations firm. The
purpose of this interview was to attempt to determine if
additional information could be developed from Mr. O'Malley
with regard to the placement of Mr. Hunt with the Mullen
Company.

2. Mr. O'Malley began the interview by recalling
the nature of his past Agency associations both with Mr.
Hunt and the Mullen Company. Mr. O'Malley stated that
prior to assuming his responsibilities in the Office of
Personnel he had served with Central Cover Staff in the
area dealing with the funding of covert action projects.
In this capacity he had become familiar with the acti-
vities of Mr. Hunt while Mr. Hunt functioned on the Covert
Activities Staff primarily in the propaganda field. Mr.
O'Malley stated that he first came in contact with the
Mullen Company when he was attempting to find an organi-
zation to handle the public relations effort of a covert
Agency activity known as the Free Cuba Committee. Mr.
O'Malley related that he had arranged this cover through
the Christianform Organization and that his duties in
volved all aspects of the funding of this activity. Mr.
O'Malley described the nature of his working relationship

14-00000
:

with Mr. Robert R. Mullen as being close and cordial.
Nr. O'Malley stated that Mr. Mullen was in the habit
of confiding to him information concerning other Mullen
business contacts and projects. In response to a
specific question, Mr. O'Malley Stated that during the
period of his contact with the Mallen Company dealing
with the Free Cuba Committee, Mr. Mullen told him the
Howard Hughes Organization was a client of the concern.

3. Nr. O'Malley reiterated his previous statements.
that Mr. Hunt was referred to his office for placement
assistance through the Office of the Executive Director,
then Colonel L. K. White. Mr. O'Malley stated that in
view of Mr. Hunt's interests in the public relations
field, it was thought advisable to put Mr. Hunt in touch
with Mr. Robert Mullen for the purpose of gaining the
benefit of Mr. Mullen's guidance. Mr. O'Malley recalled,
after the initial meeting, Mr. Mullen mentioned having
met Mr. Hunt some years previously in Paris, France.
Mr. O'Malley's office arranged interviews with various
organizations including Reader's Digest and the Kennecott
Copper Company. Through the offices of the Mullen Company
an interview was arranged with the General Foods Corpora-
tion, a Mullen client. Mr. O'Malley stated there was.
disappointment that Mr. Hunt had been unsuccessful in
"selling himself" during any of these interviews and that
no job offers had resulted. In response to a question
as to whether or not executive level interest was still
being shown in Mr. Hunt's post-employment placement,
Mr. O'Malley recalled that. Mr. Richard Helms, then
Director of Central Intelligence, was listed as a charac-
ter reference on Mr. Hunt's resume and that Mr. Holms
signed a letter of recommendation to the Kennecott Copper
Company on Mr.Hunt's behalf. Mr. O'Malley recalled being
contacted in the last month of Mr. Hunt's Agency service by
Mr. Mullen, who stated that a decision had been made to
expand their operations. In view of this expansion, Mr.
Mullen, had decided he would himself offer Mr. Hunt a job.
Mr. Mullen had stated that he was interested in having Mr.
Hunt begin work immediately. However, Mr. O'Malley re-
called that Mr. Hunt completed retirement formalities and
actually started work for the Mullen Company approximately
a week to 10 days later.
2

14-00000
:

4. Mr. O'Malley stated that contact was maintained.
with Mr. Hunt while at the Mullen Company on a continuing
basis, because Mr. O'Malley was interested in Ar. Huat
for possible referral of other Agency retirees. Mr.
O'Malley also understood that there was Cover and Com-
mercial Staff interest in the Mullen Company, ard that
Mr. Hunt became instrumental in discussing several aspects
of the cover operations in his capacity as an officer of
the company. Mr. O'Malley recalled referring various
Agency officers to Mr. Hunt for guidance when these indi-
viduals expressed an interest in entering the public
relations field. Mr. O'Malley did recall disappointment
in feeling Mr. Hunt had generally been less helpful on
these occasions.

5. Mr. Hunt contacted Mr. O'Malley on several occasions
requesting referral of retiring Agency employees with
specific qualifications. These instances occurred apparent-
ly after Mr. Hunt had assumed his responsibilities with
the White House. In one instance Mr. Hunt requested re-
ferral of a recently retired Agency secretary. As in
previous memoranda and discussions, Mr. O'Malley was unable
to recall the name of this individual. He did, however,
state that he is quite certain Mr. Hunt turned down the
individual whom he referred. As a point of clarification,
Mr. O'Malley said that this individual had not previously
been known to Mr. Hunt, nor had she previously worked
for him in any capacity. Mr. O'Malley also recalled a
request from Mr. Hunt for an individual having skills in
the area of locks and surreptitious entry. A resume of
Mr. Thomas C. Amato was provided to Mr. Hunt at that time.
It is Mr. O'Malley's recollection that Mr. Hunt specifically
stated that a person with Mr. Amato's qualifications was
needed in connection with a requirement of the Howard
Hughes Organization in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mr. O'Malley
stated the opinion that it was his impression that the
duties involved would include the monitoring of a listening
device in an undisclosed location. Mr. O'Malley reiterated
his understanding that Mr. Anato did not accept Mr. Hurt's
offer of employment.

6. Mr. O'Malley then recalled request from Mr. Hunt
for a recommendation of a security service organization
to carry out an electronic countermeasures "sweep." Nr.
O'Malley recommended the Wackenhut Corporation. Mr.
3

14-00000
:
O'Malley recalled that Mr. Hunt expressed dissatisfaction
with that suggestion in part because of what. Mr. Hunt
viewed as that firm's political orientation. Mr. O'Malley
did not claborate further on that remark. Mr. O'Malley
then suggested the use of Anderson Security Consultants,
Incorporated, a commercial cover entity of the Office of
Security. Mr. O'Malley stated that insofar as this.
organization was advertised in the yellow pages and that
Mr. Hunt could be assured of the reliability of the ser-
vices, he felt this to be a reasonable suggestion. Mr.
O'Malley stated that during a subsequent phone call when
Mr. O'Malley asked how his suggestion had worked out,
Mr. Hunt responded, "Yes, they had done a fine job."
At this point Mr. O'Malley was asked whether or not from
his associations with Mr. Hunt he felt Nr. Hunt was in
the habit of making glib comments which were not neces-
sarily accurate in order to pass over a subject. Mr.
O'Malley stated that this was categorically so.
he was sure that Mr. Hunt had lied to him on a number of
He said
occasions and that, therefore, he was in no position to
be sure that Mr. Hunt had actually, in fact, used the
services of Anderson Security Consultants. Mr. O'Malley
volunteered the opinion that he suspected the electronic
countermeasures "sweep" was to be carried out in the offices.
of the Committee to Re-elect the President.

7. In response to a question as to whether he had
ever referred anyone to McCord Associates, Mr. O'Malley
replied that he remembered having referred Walter Brayden.
Mr. Brayden for a time acted as bodyguard to Mrs. Martha
Mitchell. As an aside Mr. O'Malley mentioned that Mr.
Brayden had refused to carry a firearm in spite of the
fact that Mr. McCord told him he could do so on the author-
ity of the Attorney General. Asked specifically if he had
ever referred either William Shea or Teresa Shea to Mr.
McCord, Mr. O'Malley stated that he did not recall spécif-
ically referring Teresa Shea and that he was sure that he
had not referred William Shea to him. So, contrary to
previous statements, it is now Mr. O'Malley's belief that
in all probability Mrs. Shea was not referred by this
Agency to Mr. McCord.

8. Ret.ning to Mr. O'Malley's previous responsibilities
in coordinating funding for the covert action activities
of Mr. E. Howard Hunt, the issue was raised as to whether
or not the funding of Mr. Hunt's projects continued between
July 1955 and September 1955 while Mr. Hunt was a contract
cmployce stationed at Madrid, Spain. Mr. O'Malley recalled
that at the time of Mr. Hunt's assignment to Madrid the
statemeni aisseminated for consumption within the Agency
was that Mr. Hunt was retiring. Mr. O'Malley stated that
this was not generally believed. Mr. O'Malley was quite
certain that during this period his office handled no
project funding for Mr. Hunt. In response to specific
question Mr. O'Malley stated that on Mr. Hunt's return to
staff employment the projects and funding which stopped in
July 1965 were again resumed. Mr. O'Malley was not aware
of any project names or funding mechanisms or post-assignment
accountings in connection with Mr. Hunt's activities in
Madrid.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Office of Finance Records - E. Howard Hunt

1. On the instruction of Mr. Steven L. Kuhn, Chief
of Operations, PSI, the undersigned made an appointment
for the afternoon of 20 February 1974 to interview Mr.
William Caufield, Chief, Certification and Liaison Divi-
sion, Office of Finance, and Mr. Joseph Hudson of Pinance
on the subject of Mr. E. Howard Hunt. At the outset of
the interview Mr. Caufield advised the undersigned that
instruction had been received from the Director of the
Office of Finance, Mr. Thomas Yale, that discussion on
the subject of Mr. Hunt was to be carried out only with
the Office of the Inspector General. Mr. Caufield stated
that he had informed Mr. Yale of the requested interview
and had received this instruction with the suggestion
that the undersigned contact Mr. Yale directly with any
Inquiry..

2. Accompanied by Mr. Caufield, the undersigned
briefed Mr. Yale on the nature of the request and iden-
tified the "Task Force" effort being undertaken by the
Office of Security in concert with the Offices of the
Inspector General and Legislative Counsel. Mr. Yale
responded that he recognized the legitimacy of the in-
quiry. Mr. Yale explained that subsequent to initiation
of the complete audit being undertaken by Mr. Quinn of
the Audit Staff, the Deputy Director for Management and
Services, Mr. Harold L. Brownman, had requested the
Office of Finance to discontinue their investigation of
Mr. Hunt to avoid duplication. Mr. Yale added paren-
thetically that it was the nature of Finance Officers
not to leave a job half done and that an "informal"
inquiry into Mr. Hunts financial records had neverthe-
less continued at a more subdued pace.

3. A review of the circumstances surrounding Mr.
Hunt's conversion to Contract Type A employment and
assignment was then undertaken by Messrs. Yalo, Caufield,
Hudson and the undersigned. The contract and payroll
filos of Mr. Hunt wore reviewed for possible indications
of the nature of the operational activity undertaken in
Madrid. A review of travel vouchers indicated that Mr.
Hunt and his family made accountings indicating departure
from Washington, D. C., on 5 August 1965 with an arrival
in Madrid, Spain, on 16 August 1965. The costs of this
travel were charged to the budget of the Western Hemi-
sphere Division, Deputy Directorate for Plans, Madrid
Station Support account. A subsequent accounting sum
marized PCS travel expenses and included a payment for
apartment rental for 16, 17 and 18 August 1965 with a
payment in the amount of $125 to Mr. F. Reid Buckley for
this purpoзе.

He
4. It was determined that an allottee bank account
in Mr. Hunt's name had been established at the Riggs
National Bank of Washington. All salary and other non-
operational reimbursements were made to Mr. Hunt through
sterile check to this account. An operational account
was established for Mr. Hunt with the Chase Manhattan
Bank of New York City. A review of all payments made to
Mr. Hunt through the Chase bank account through Mr. Hunt's
operational advanco subsidiary account, or 1442 account,
had been made. There was no record of any operational
accounts or advances being processed through this channel.
Mr. Yale stated that this fact defined his concern.
felt that it was inconceivable that Mr. Hunt could have
undortaken operational activity without some transfer of
or accounting for funds. To date, no such records have
been developed. No reference to a project or project
digraph or operational FAN number has been located. Al
expenses соnnected with Mr. Hunt identified to date were
charged to the Madrid Station Support. A review made of
Madrid Station records has not indicated any "Developmental
and Target of Opportunity (DTC)" funds or "Other Opera
tional Activity (COA)" funds expended by or on behalf of
Mr. Hunt. These two accounts would normally be the source
of operational funding not charged against a specific pro-
ject activity.

5. A review of all of the travel vouchers on record
for Mr. liunt during this period also failed to identify
a project. In addition to the PCS and return vouchers,
two other accountings are on record. One accounting
covered a trip by the entire Hunt family to Paris "for
the renewal of visas." A second voucher covered a TDY
trip from Madrid: to Washington with roturn to Madrid
made by Mr. Hunt from 5. January to 3 January 1966. The
voucher states in the space provided for the citation of
the travel order number - "no travel order." The account-
ing was approved and signed by Mr. Thomas Karamossines,
then Deputy Director for Plans. No justification or
statement of purpose for this TDY was given on the account-
Ing.

6. Mr. Yale deterained that further review of possible
sources or identification of operational funding was in
order. Mr. Yale gave instructions that the entire 1442
advance account of Mr. Hunt be reviewed for other possible
channels of funding outside of the New York Chase account.
After discussion, it was agreed that particular attention
be taken to any items connected with publishing or book
royalties. Mr. Yale noted that the royalty offset waiver
provision ammended to Mr. Hunt's contract was, in his ex-
perience, somewhat unusual.
:

7. Mr. Yala was informed by the undersigned of the
intention to interview Mr. Edward Ryan, currently Chief,
Division D, who was at the time of Mr. Hunt's Madrid assign-
ment, Deputy Chief of the Western Hemisphere Division. Mr.
Yala suggested that Mr. Davis Powell also be interviewed.
The undersigned informed Mr. Yale that this had been done
and briefed Mr. Yale on the generally negative results of
the interview. Mr. Yale then recommended that Mr. Sam
Halpern be interviewed. Mr. Yale noted that Mr. Halpern
had been an assistant to Mr. Desmond Fitzgerald when the
latter was Chief, Western Hemisphere Division and had ac-
companied Mr. Fitzgerald when he became Deputy Director for
Plans, Mr.Yale recalled that subsequent to Mr. Fitzgerald's
passing that Mr. Halpera remained on the staff and acted as
an Executive Officer for Mr. Thomas Zaramossines. Mr. Yale
stated that from his experience, Mr. Karamessines would
have delegated all the arranging of "details" surrounding
un assignment such as Nr. Hunt's to Mr. Halpern. Mr. Yale
offered the parenthetical observation of his surprise at
what he interpreted to be reticence to date to intervew

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: E. Howard Hunt

1. I phoned Paul Burns, Special Assistant to the DDO, and
said that we had some leads that could be followed by whoever has
the action in the DDO in tracking down Hunt's activities during the
fall of 1964, when he was alleged to have been engaged in surveillance
activities of Barry Goldwater.

2. I said that our files showed Hunt was in DO Division (Burns
was not familiar with that title, but recognized it as the predecessor
of FR Division) and in August 1964 was assigned to the Washington
field office. I suggested that Stan Gaines, who was Deputy Division
Chief of DO Division and now DCOS Bonn, might be in a position to
give a few groups on what Hunt was supposed to be doing then. I
suggested that he be queried by cable. Burns said Gaines is staying
on under contract for a while, so would continue to be available.
1

3. I said that Fig Coleman was on the Iberian desk when the
Hunt assignment to Madrid was brought up in 1964 and when Hunt
went to the field in 1965. He could give the background on the assign-
ment, which seems to have been through Karamessines at Helms'
direction. His recollection would give leads. I told him that Coleman
became COS Madrid later, after Hunt left Spain, and could provide
information on what Hunt did not do for the Agency during that period.
I suggested that both Helms and Karamessines should be queried.
I gave as a possible press treatment that Hunt was engaged in
domestic operations (something Senator Baker is pursuing) and that
his assignment to Spain after the clection could be presented as giving
him time to cool off. I thought we had to pursue the matter to be
sure we know the facts.

4. I asked Burns to be sure that we are on information distribution
of cables to the field on this, given our assigned responsibility for
keeping files on Watergate. He said we are on the PLMHPLANK for
messages to Helms. He would advise the action officer. I said we are
available for any help we can give.

MEMORANDUM FOR: OPS/RMO
SUBJECT : Watergate File Research - Final Report

1. The files of the immediate office of the Chief, OPS/OSG
have been checked for material relevant to the subject of this
memorandum. The check included chronological files of communi-
cations of which I was the author while assigned to Madrid, Spain
in the period July 1970 to July 1973. Nothing pertinent was found.

2. I have attempted to recollect any other details which
conceivably could be pertinent and which relate to the period
of my assignment to Madrid. The only points which I recall but
on which I have no documentation are these:

a. There were occasional joshing inquiries made of me
by American residents of Madrid about the reported presence
in Spain of E. Howard Hunt in 1972. My standard reply was
that I knew only what I had heard rumored. For the record,
at no time did Hunt contact me, and I have never known of his
having tried to contact any Station personnel in Spain during
the period 1970-73. I made no effort personally to ascertain
whether or not Hunt was in Spain, and I had no effort made by
any Station member.

b. A Station officer, possibly Richard Ouderkirk, now
assigned to Guatemala, was given some information by an
informant in 1972 concerning reported activities in Spain
by Robert Vesco. I suggested that the information be given
informally to the Embassy's Economic Section chief, John
Oliver. That officer was charged with keeping abreast of
developments related to Vesco. The Station did not pursue
that subject, as I recall, because it was not a topic of
reportable interest, according to requirements of the period.

SUBJECT

Inspector General
: "Howard Hunt
27 FEG 1974

1. At the recent request of the Deputy Director for
Management and Services, the Office of Finance has searched
its records to determine if we could find any payment to
Mr. Hunt in an amount of approximately $30,000 that required
no accounting.

2. We have searched the following records:
a.
The expense runs for the period July 1964 to
June 1973 for the immediate Office of the DCI,
the immediate Office of the DD/P, FI Staff,
CI Staff, CA Staff and the Office of Security.
We have checked various items that were re-
flected in these expense records but have
identified nothing relating to Mr. Hunt.
b. The Madrid Station, JMWAVE and FR/Washington
Office accountings to determine if there were
funds passed by the Stations to Mr. Hunt during
the year he served under non-official cover in
Madrid. We could find no payment to Mr. Hunt
either in his true name or his two identified
pseudonyms.
c.
Mr. Hunt's travel claims for the period
1960-1972 and have found nothing in these
travel claims that were not consistent with
normal travel expenses, i.e., transportation,
per diem.
d. We made a specific analysis of Mr. Hunt's.
advance account for the period he was under
non-official cover (July '65-Sept '66) and have

SUBJECT: Howard Hunt
determined that $33,500 was advanced to him
for travel and transportation of household
goods to and from Madrid with one trip to
Paris for he and his family to renew their
Spanish visas. All of this advance was fully
accounted for. However, in his accounting,
one item appeared unusual. It was an
expenditure of $1,600 for a sensitive
operation which was approved for write-off by Mr.
Desmond Fitzgerald on 1 June 1966 without
further accounting.

3. Also, we confirmed that no other Agency advance account's
were established for Mr. Hunt during this period.

4. At the beginning of his non-official cover tour, it
was necessary to establish a bank account in his name. The
EUR Division accordingly requested we open an account at the
Chase Manhattan Bank in Mr. Hunt's name to receive all non-
salary payments. (Mr. Hunt had an account at Riggs National
Bank to receive his salary and allowance payments). The
following deposits were made to the account during 1965 and
1966:
Account opened: 13 July 1965

13 July 1965
$10,000-
22 July 1965
5,000
15 September 1965
5,000
6 October 1965
5,000
19 July 1966
5,000
$30,000

All of the above have been accounted for by submission
of travel and transportation accountings.

5. We feel at this time without specific-guidelines that
further searching would be somewhat fruitless. One strange
aspect of the non-official cover assignment in Madrid is that
all the costs were charged to the support allotment of the
EUR Division which is not normal as non-official cover people
are usually assigned to a project. It is unusual to have a
case officer abroad for one year on an operational assignment
without hin incurring operational expenditures.

SUBJECT: Howard Hunt

6. The Office of Finance has not found operational
expenditures except for the $1,600 mentioned above.
Therefore, it is suggested that Mr. Karamessines be questioned
as to a project or projects to which Mr. Hunt's operational
expenditures if incurred would have been charged..

7. Another possible course of action is to request the
Director to approve my asking a cleared contact at Chase
Manhattan Bank to provide a transcript of all entries into
Mr. Hunt's Chase Manhattan Bank account.

8. We are currently reviewing records of all cashier's
checks prepared and issued by Monetary to determine if any
were payable to Mr. Hunt. Hopefully this effort will be.
finished by the end of the week.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: E. Howard Hunt
20 December 1973

1. I spoke with Fig Coleman about Hunt's assignment to Spain.
I had spoken with him back in August when we were inquiring into
reported activities involving Mrs. Hunt......

2. Coleman said that he got out of the War College in May 1964
(by which he fixed the time), and took over the Iberian desk. Bill
Ryan was C/EUR (or was it WE Division at the time). In early autumn
Ryan said that he had just been informed by the DDP (Karamessines)
that Hunt was to be assigned to Madrid as DCOS, as a directed assign-
ment by Helms. A memo wa's prepared and sent to the COS, Jim Noel
(now retired). There was nothing further for about a month when Ryan
called Coleman in and showed him a RYBAT letter from Noel stating
that Ambassador Stanley J. Woodward would not have Hunt in the
Embassy.

3. Woodward had been the Ambassador to Uruguay when Hunt
was COS Montevideo. He had a low opinion of Hunt and was counting
the day's until Hunt left. The President of Uruguay visited President.
Eisenhower in the States, at which time he requested a personal favor--
that Hunt be reassigned to Montevideo. So Hunt took another tour.
Woodward was outraged, and had his revenge in 1964 when Hunt was
to be sent as DCOS to Madrid.

4. After a couple of months--carly 1965--Ryan called Coleman
in and, observing that there was more than one way to skin a cat,
told him that Hunt was going to Spain under nonofficial cover. This
didn't require anything special, Ryan saying that he didn't know
much about it. It came to him from Karamessines on Helms' order.
Hunt was to have the telephone number of the COS, but he would do
nothing for the station. Hunt was to submit administrative vouchers
for reimbursement of his expenses and they were to be paid. Coleman
said he never saw Hunt before he went out. He knows that there was
no operational reporting, to indicate that Hunt was doing anything.
....

14-00000
CONFIDENTIAL
The vouchers were not large, although the documentation was poor.
Coleman raised the question with Ryan about his signing off, and
Ryan said he could talk to Karamessines if he wished. Because
Coleman had a close personal association with Karamessines he
did just that. He was told by Karamessines that he didn't know much
about it either--"Helms said send him out." He was instructed to go
ahead.

5. In early July 1966 (4) July) Coleman went to Madrid. He
had a ten day turnover with Jim Noel. Hunt had already gone and
he did not see him. Noel said he didn't know what Hunt did, but
that Coleman need not worry because he was gone.

6. Several months ago Noel was at a seminar at which
Ambassador Woodward was also present. At the time he asked
about Hunt. Woodward said it might still be dragged into the press.
Tad Szulc had been after Woodward about the Hunt assignment to
Spain. Coleman observed that Szulc did have a long article on Hunt
in the New York Times, and the Spain assignment was mentioned,
but without any conclusions as to its significance..

7. Coleman said the RYBAT file of C/EUR may have something on
the event, but not much. A letter out and the reply, but not much more.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: E. Howard Hunt--Madrid Assignment

1. On 22 February 1974, Mr. Frederick N. Evans
and the undersigned interviewed Mr. Edward Ryan,
Chief, Staff D, Deputy Director for Operations, on
the subject of Mr. E. Howard Hunt. During the period
of Mr. Hunt's assignment as a Contract A agent
to Madrid between July 1965 and September 1966, Mr.
Ryan had been the Deputy Chief of the Western European
Division, Deputy Director for Plans. The purpose of
the interview was to determine if Mr. Ryan had any
information bearing on the matter of the operational
assignment of Mr. Huat during this period.

2. Mr. Ryan stated that the assignment of Mr.
Hunt both to the European Division and to Madrid was
handled without benefit of the routine processing
procedures through the Western European Division.
Mr. Hunt's assignment was coordinated and directed
by Mr. Thomas Karamessines, the Assistant Deputy Director
for Plans. With regard to operational duties, Mr. Ryan
was unaware of any specific project or target for Mr.
Hunt. Mr. Ryan made the specific observation that if
Mr. Hunt produced positive intelligence on the Iberian
target during this period the officials responsible
for this effort within the Western European Division
were totally unaware of it.

3. Nr. Ryan stated that most of his knowledge of
Mr. Hunt's activity and the nature of his assignment
during this period came more through hearsay than
direct official knowledge. For example, he cited the
comment made by a mutual acquaintance of his and Mr
Hunt's to the effect that Mr. Hunt stated that while
in Madrid he was going to "play golf and write books."
Nr. Ryan was asked specifically whether or not he was

14-00000
under the impression that Mr. Hunt's writing activities
were either being encouraged or subsidized directly
by this Agency in any official effort. No. Ryca re
sponded that he was personally not aware of any such
arrangement. He added as an expression of personal
opinion that Mr. Hunt had no operational function and
was simply granted the opportunity to write books for
his own personal gain at Government expense during this
period.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Conversation with Sam Halpern.

1. I met with Sam Halpern for about 20 minutes this morning
in GG10, where he is cleaning up some details before he goes to
his new assignment as DC/DCD. I told him generally about our
attempt to reconstruct Howard Hunt's assignments and financial
transactions, and asked him particularly for recollections he may
have of Hunt's assignment in Spain in mid-1965 to the fall of 1966.

2. Halpern said that he has no recollection about such an
assigament. In June 1965 he moved from WH Division with Des
FitzGerald when he became the DD/P. At about that time
Halpern's father died and he was in New York for the funeral
and ten days of religious observations following that. He was back
in mid-June and in and out from then on as he got ready to attend
the National War College which began in August. He did not return
to that office until the end of June 1966.

3. Halpern observed that during this period Karámessines
was ADDP with Helms moving up to be DDCI. He thought it entirely
possible that Helms and Karamessines could have handled this
on their own.

:
4. Halpern said that Evan Parker had come into the office
of the DD/P shortly before Helms became DDCI, and had returned
from Honolulu for that purpose. He stayed on for FitzGerald until
Halpern returned from the National War College. He suggested
someone might talk to Evan Parker who may have known something
about it (although he may not). He also suggested talking to Georgia.
