You will recall that in Fiscal YeaB1971 and 1972,

I believe, Agency funds were made available to th~ FBI.

These funds may still be possibly held in a special

account for that use. This is one of the areas where

TSD has been very much involved. Chuck Briggs would"~. -

have the details as this was handled through the Executive

Director's office and of Course Angleton would have

MEMORANDUM FOR

SUBJECT

Deputy Director for Operations

. ", "',Areas of Possible Embarrassment

to the Agency

1. Sometime in the spring or early summer of 1971, Mr. JohnDean levied the requirement on the Agency for information relating tothe Investors Overseas Service (lOS). The original request wasnon-specific but it gradually emerged that Dean was concerned with,the possible adverse publicity that might develop regarding thePresident's nephew, who w~s employed by lOs,

2. There were multiple channels from the White House to the

Agency on this subject:

a. Presumably Haldeman and/or Ehrlichman to Director

Helms.

b. Someone (unnamed) in the White House to the DDC1,General Cushman (see attached telephone conversation).Note that Ehrlichman is mentioned, and

I~ .

c. John Dean to the CI Staff. These various channelswere sorted out in time and six reports were passed bythe CI Staff to Mr. Fred Fielding for Mr. John Dean.

3. The telephone call of General Cushman's is of interest sinceit gives the flavor of White Hous e concern. It took several days touncover the fact that the White House interest centered on the involve­ment of the President's nephew with lOS and possible adverse publicity.The reports submitted to Dearis office were routine-in nature and werecoordinated with the DCI. After a few months, interest in this sub­

ject died down and we did not pursue it further.

4. Please return the attachments when they have served your

purpose.

5. I also include a short note on the Intelligence EvaluationCommittee and Staff prepared by Richard Ober , The originalmeetings were held in the office of .John Dean at the White Houseand the principal sparkplug for this gr-oup 'activitY'wa-s...t1?e thenAssistant Attorney General for Internal Security, RobertlvIa-1<djanand then later his assistant, William Olsen. It is noted thatM~Mardian is »ow appearing before the Grand Jury 'antl"i1:is always ---------______.,possible that he might draw in the Agency.

6. Before appointing Ober .to the IES Staff as the Agencyrepresentative, I had attended various inter-agency meetings pre­sided over by Mardian. I expressed the view to Director Helmsthat Mardian would require very careful handling due to his inex­perience. Furthermore, Mardian was de ep'lydnvol ved in the' splitbetween Bill Sulli van and Mr. Hoover. On a confidential basisone or two senior FBI officials stated that Sullivan was secretlypassing files' to Mardian without Mr. Hoover's permission. This.was one of the important reasons why Sullivan was dismissed fromthe. Bureau.

Telephone conversation of General Cuslunan and someone in White House, 23/7/71"

."'.Bob, how are you.

DDCI: Just fine; I just talked to Jack Sherwood and he suggested I give youa buzz•

......-..-I deeply appreciate" it. 1 asked Jack to call you. I spoke to Rose yesterday,

.and told her "I had a little project here for John Ehrliclunan and I need verydiscreet assistance from the Company, and I should· like to touch base withBob. I met him at Jack Sherwood's. ".

DDCI: That's right.

That's right and beyond' that I would like to just establisha relationship becausefrom time to time we have a few needs in your area. Let me tell you what weneed to know here. yo';r Agency would be the only one to help. I have checkedwith the Bureau, Bob, and they have nothing on this fellow. Just a mere namecheck but it apparently has some significance, of c our s e. Ray Finkelstein;born in Belgium about 1940; moved to Brazil about age 12 with his family.This mightie helpful. He now is working with one" Gilbert Straub, apparentlyStraub is hooked up with that Kornfeld outfit: lOS. .We have a need to know whatFinkelstein is all about.

DDCI: We will do our. best, of course; we have some counterintelligence fileswhich sometimes turn up people but ordinarily, of course, we don't s'urveilany Americans but this fellow might have come to our notice., ,

He may not. be an American, just a European Jew; ..that is the problem, theBureau has come up with zero.

DDCI: Do you know where he is physically located?

He may be in Geneva; Straub is apparently in Geneva._..~, " " ........

DDCI: Well, let me get on this and I wi.l.Lget 'back to you.

James W. Rayhtll, an assistant U.S. attor­ney, brought lhe matter up in court, saying the

"I go vernment had information that :;\(r. Vescowas "currenUy attempttng to renounce his U.S.,citizenship in Costa Rica:' where he last yeartook up le-gal residence. It's understood that

'Mr_ RayhiU wasn't referring to a disclosure·ma~e late Wednesday by Costa Rica's presi­dent, Jose Ftgucres,

President Figueres, on e. two-day visit tothis countr-y, said that Mr, Vesco in an audioence two or three weeks ago formally an­noun... ed his Intention to renounce U.S. citizen.ship.

In washtngton, the Stale Department saidMr. Vesco has: lold Costa Rican authorttlcs thathe already has renounced American citizenshipbefore two notaries, with his lawyer's help,However, the U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica con­tended that didn't count, because it wasn'tdone before a consular officer. The State De­partment's legal experts are checking to deter­mine whether that view Is correct.

The U.S. has a 1922 extradition treaty withCosta Rica, covering 21 crimes. including rob­bery. forgery, cmbezalement, and fraud. 'TheU.S. considers ils 1931 extradition treaty withBr-itain to apply to the Bahamas, but it isn't"clear whether the Bahamas agrees.

SUBJECT: Thel£n$:HAOS 'Program

1. The~HAOS program is a.worldwide program forclandestine collection abroad of Lnf'orma t Lon on foreignefforts to support/encourage/exploit/manipulate domesticU.S. extremism, especially by Cuba, Communist China,North Vietnam, the Soviet Union, ~orth Korea and theArah fedayeen.

2. The r;;jilcHAOS program has not and is not conduct­ing efforts ~mestically for internal domestic collectionpurposes. Agency efforts are foreign. Foreign-orientedactivity in the United States has been of two types:

a. Selected FBI domestic ~ources who travelabroad in connection with their extremist activityand/or affiliations to make contact with hostileforeign powers or with for.eign extremist groupshave been briefed and debriefed by Headquartersofficers. The briefing has included appropriateoperational gllid1nce, including defensive advice.

b. Americans with existing extremist creden­tials have been assessed, recruited, tested anddispatched abroad for PCS assignments as contrattagents, primarily sourceS offered for such use bythe FBI. When abroad they collect information re­sponsive toffiBJeHAOS program requirements, as wellas other Agency requirements. They are thus usedprimarily for targeting against Cubans, Chinese Com­munists, the North Vietnamese, etc., as their back-·ground and their particular access permits.

have been recfited and ruJ.! eXc1usi~elY for the lBii'cHAOSprogram. Instead, emphasIs has been placed on tfie exploi­tation of new and old Agency assets who have a by-productcapability or a concurrent capability for provision ofinformation responsive to the program's requirements.This has involved the provision of custom-tailored 'cb'llec­tion requirements and operational guidance. this collec­tion program is viewed as an in~gral part of the recruit­ment and collection programs oflJ;,.l<ina Opelations, Vietflam0F-erat ions Cuban OpeTations, Seviet Bloc IJi lI'i-s-ron-op-era­twn s and Korean Ilranch opelatiolls;J Agents who have anAmerican "Movement" background or who have, known connec­tions with the American "Movement" dre useful as accessagents to obtain biographic and personality data, to dis­cern possible vulnerabilities and susceptibilities, andto develop operationally exploitable relatjonships withrecruitment targets of the above programs. These assetsare of interest to our targets because of their connec­tions with and/or knol'/l~'!,ge of the American "Movement."Over the course of the2E~HAOS p~ogram, there have been-app r cx i.ma t e Ly 20 important a r eas ,of operational interest"

~hiCh at the present time have "be'en reduced to about ten:

Paris, Stockholm, Brussels, Da~-1rs'Salaam, Conakry, Algiers, lMexico City, Santiago, Ottawa and Hong Kong. ------------

4. The~HAOS program also utilizes audio opera-tions, two of which have been implemented to cover tar­gets of special interest.

5_ frUjcHAOS reporting from abroad relating to theprogram originates in two way s : Individuals Who are notedin contact with Cubans, the Chinese Communists, etc., andwho appear to have extremist connections, interests orbackground are reported upon. Other individuals are re­pqrted upon in response to: specific Headquarters require­ments received from the FBI because such individuals areof active investigatory security interest to the FBI.

, 6. All cable and dispatch traffic related to the~n1CHAOS program is sent via 'restricted channels. tit is,not processed by either the-fable Secretariat or the In­formation Services Division~ The control and retriev­ability of information obtained, includin~ informationreceived from the FBI, is the responsibillty of the Spe­cial Operations Group.

7. Information responsive to specific FBI require­ments is disseminated to the FBI via special controlleddissemination channels, i.e., by restricted handling cabletraffic or via special pouch and specially numbered bLi ndmemoranda. '

8. Information of particular significance, when col­lected, has been disseminated by special memorandum overthe signature of the Director of Central Intelligence tothe White House (Dr. Kissinger and John Dean), as well as'to the Attorney General, the Secretary of State and theDirector of the FBI.

The analysis' of this' paper rests" on the' assumption. thatAmerican poUcy-inakers should not be so concerned unth: thepurs,,;t of hard-to-obtain ideological objectives that they exhaustthe power potential implicit in trade and aid, relationships.Rather the trade and aid programs should be managed so, as topreserve an environment 'in which pressures can be brought tobear to sert'e the national interest at a later, and perhap« 'morecritical, date. This emphasis on power considerations impliesboth (a) that the assistance prottrani ca-nno! be based pl"imm'ilyon humanitarian 0" idealistic goals, and (b) that economic tieswith other nations should not be severed simply because of onrdisapproval of other social systems, including those based oncommunism. Thouoh. typically public opinion vastly overstatesthe strategic leverage that can be gai,,!ed through economic

, weapons, 'this leverage is still not negligible. One can arguri thatin the past the United States-has failed to take advantage ofthe power potential 'implicit in aid and trade through its failureto develop concepts and mechanisms of dete'''''",ce in ,uays akinto what has been done in the military field. Much of thedif]ic;dty 'may be ascribed. to ,a failure to develop sanctions,,ahich discouraoe actions unfavorable to" olir interests, as wellas incentives, which encourage cooperation, No system ofdeterrence can exclusively stress the carrot and itmore the stick.

},fore is being demanded of the aid program than it canreasonably «chiece, Assltming that the primary emphasis of theaid program is to encourage social and economic dcreiopmentrather than to' elicit direct SUpp01't for American foreign policy

One final consideration-it would be unwise to use potentialweapons of this sort for niggling purposes. The balance of pay.ments has been, troublesome. and is properly an object of concernin wasbtngton, but surely it is not a first-order considerationin our relations with the underdeveloped nations. Suggestionshave been bruited about that we should make use of the aidprogram to force recipients to bu~: from us in ways that gobeyond tied aid. Under the best of circumstances, our bargaining­power is limited, and shooting away strategic ammunition for sopaltt')" an economic goal would seem to reflect a poor sense of

-r- _proportion. .

Aid

Within an over-all framework designed to discourage hostileor predatory attitudes toward the West, the aid program mayseek to foster the maximum rate of economic and socinl progress.In the basic policy of AID. the Kennedy Admlnlstration has,explicitly adopted this goal. As. has been indicated there arecosts to this decision. Outsiders are not likely to be much likedeven under the best of circumstances, which hardly apply to theunderdeveloped countries, and their Intervention in whateverdirection will in the long run excite antagonism based on' realor fancied wrongs. Nevertheless, the basic decision has beenmade. Let us examine in what war we may proceed so that thegood effects clearly outweigh the ill effects,

There aretwo initial postulates: (1) our bargaining. powerwill be limited. and (2) American notions of social reform andof equity are neither necessarily applicable in the underdevelopedlands, nor need we assume jthat those whose cooperation wemust win will find them appealing.

it together with thal which is purely pnrasiilcal. With respectto our Q\\'U history, retrospectivelj- we have come to find meritin what once were r~gal'ded as the disreputable procedures ofan organization like Tammany HaJJ in that it provided a kindof social security and a welcome for the newly arrived. Im­migrant. We are accustomed to "the daily dangling of new postoffices. good committee assignments. and br-idges over creeks inthe outback before wavering Congressmen, and warm approvalis given, for its tine sense of political realism, to whatever ad.ministration is doing the dangling by those who agree with itsgoals. Toward simjlar procedures abroad we are inclined tqtake a simple mucklitk'ing"attitude. We look askance at the"higgling of the political mArket-with a naivete that would docredit both to missionaries and old-style political reformers, Ifwe hope to achieve a fairmeasure of success, '\:e,shalJ have tosharpen our critical fncuIties lind learn to distinguish betweenunappetizing social devices which arc funelional and those whichare simple barriers t~ progress.

The statement of objectives by AID is a very ambitious one.

IIThe purposes of the assistance program include stimulation

.of self-help. encoul"-:,~ement of progressive forces. and achieve­ment of governments based on consent, which recognize thedignity. and worth of individuals who are expected to participatein determinirig the nation's goals.: No doubt, a statement ofaspirations is in large part Window dressing; but the criteriaby which self-help is moving toward social and political progressare more specific: a more ef}uitable distribution 'of Income, amore equitable tax system "'ith Incr-eased yields, expanded wel­fare programs, increased political pm-tlcfpatfon and clvil Hberttes,and so on. Several points-may be made regarding the objectlves rnrst, there are too many; second, they are to some extent in.consistent: and third, they ignore the real resources available.

There is, in -the first place. the long-perceived clash betweeneconomic progress, on the one hand, and the combined goals ofequitable distribution of income, immediate. Improvement inJiving standards, and security 011 the other. This underlyingconflict spiJIs o...er into a tension between rapid economic pro-­gress and the introduction of democratic processes, On thisissue there appears to have been a revolution in informedopinion in the Uni~ed States during the past fiv-e years. Duringthe Jate fiCties. it had become almost an axiom that authoritartan,if not totalitarian, governments had innate ndvnntngcs in guld­ing economies toward rapid growth. The prevailing v'jew was

00608

based. no doubt, on an assessment of the record of the Sovietregime, and an exaggerated notion of how much the Chinese"Great Leap Forward" would accomplish. Perhaps the earlier"pessimism" regarding the relative performance potential of"free" and "controlled" economies was overdone, but have wenot gone too far in the now prevailing "optimism" that any clashbetween economic progress and the democratic institutions whichInsm-e-ths dominance of the t·o~ populi is minimal?

The average clttaen-c-parttcularly when he is ill-housed," Ill­clothed, ill-fed, and ilI-educated-seems most likely to be in­terested in the here and now, A government which is responsiveto the desires of the public will continually be tempted tomortgage the future for the present. The "abstinence" or"waiting" which classical and neoclassical economics state tolie necessnrv ingredients in economic progress will be hard torequire, as will be the inccntive schemes (and the accompanyingconspicuous consumption) which are likely to strike the a ....eragevoter as inequitable, We rna)' TecNI that the Peron regime was(and still may be"!) the most popular regime in recent LatinAmerican history. Or we may observe the economic consequencesof Brazilian democracy. and have our doubts. The tnfto\\" ofAmerican resources may be able to make showpieces out ofseveral small, recentJ)--demflcrntized nattons like the DominicanRepublic, but we ought nol assume either that demccracyasstatain economic development, or that the Dominican example iswid(>J~' applicable. This is not to sa:r that some judiciousprodding in the direction of democracy may not be a wise policy.but it must be iudiaione, nnri cannot be based on the assumptionthat democracy necessarily fosters the political stability essentialto growth.

One of the criteria by which self-help can be judged as justify.ing additional aid is an improvement in the savings ratio, Somestudents of the aid program Would put major emphasis oncbnngos in the SAYings .l'ntio in tbnt it provides a relatlveb­objective standard b)' which an improvement in economic, per.fOI'Ill:mc:e can be ju(J~eCl.· If we apply an objective standard.complaints about the distribution of aid nnd subjectivity in the

At thr risk of stating the obvious, almost,all of the operationalactivities carried on by<'rR Division I ~un the riskthat unauthorized disclos-;;'re could create erriba r r a s srn.errt to the Agency.We have accepted this as a condition p r e c e denttand ha.ve proceeded withour operational activities in the most professional rrrarin e r- possible underthe circumstances. There are certain r-a th e r- unusual activities in which

'fR DivisioIL.1as participated and/or is participating'that conta~n some­what greater possibility for embarrassment if discovered. I have listedthese below, not necessarily in brder of embarrassment potential:

a_I . ~rovides aiairly considerableamount of support to Dr. Klssmger in his contacts with theChinese. This support was authorized by Mr. Kar arrie s s'i n e sand Mr. Helms. Thus far there has been no problem other'than the inordinate amount of time spent bylpersonnel, not to mention the fairly sizeable"'a"m'ruo"u"'nn'tF<o"l~------'-­

c. Alias Documentation: Clearly, FR Division doesthe great majority of its operational work by having its caseofficers utilize alias documents. All recruitments are donein alias. Thus, the alias documentation is a prerequisitefor effective operations I IFurthermore,our case officers have btilized fully backstopped alias creditcards for renting automobiles, rrioteI rooms, hotel roomsfor operational rrre etf.ng s , etc. These credit cards are back­stopped by accounts in alias w.hich are promptly paid at theappropriate time.

1. .By rrrerrior aridurn "dated 25 May 1973. I informed you of theresults of .an int';rview of Mr.1 Iwho reported thatMr., rn employee of the Office of Security. had

,stated dunng a diSCUSSlOn period at Adv-anced Intelligence SeminarNo. 6 in Septeznber 1971 that the Office of Security had been involvedin the "Ballou case. " (The residence of Mr. Ballou. an antique guncollector in Silver Spring. Maryland. was raided oil 7 June 1971 byMontgomery County Police and Federal law enforcement officers.When the offic e r s , 'dressed in civilian clothes. forced their way intothe house. Ballou picked up an antique pistol. The officers opened.fire and seriously wounded Ballou. He was hospitalized for ·severalmonths and was left partially paralyzed. I believe he is now sUingover the incident. l.

2. We inter':'iewed Mr[ Fertain other employee; whoattended the Seminar. arid the DIrector of Security to determine justwhat was said at the Seminar and the extent of any Agency involvementin the Ballou case.

this equipment bad probably saved a police=.an's life. The inspectorcom.mented that the account of the Ballou incident appearing in thepress was not the whole story. With the aid of the equipment the .:IAgency had provided, the police had intercepted a telephone call I,from Ballou to a friend in which Ballou outlined plans to "kill a co!'." I"

'The police then staged a raid to forestall Ballou's plan, and it was . 1dnring this raid that Ballou was shot.

4. I Jsaid that he bas no other lmowledge of th~ Balloucase, except lOr wna: he bas read in the newspapers, and that he hasnot had any other conversations about the case with any members ofthe Montgomery County Police. We learned nothing from our inquiriesthat would indicate any other Agency involve=ent in the Ballou case.

5. The following are related excerpts from the "Family Jewels"submission of the Director of Security on,16 May 1973:

During the period from 1968 to 1973, several items ofPositive audio equipment consisting primarily of clandestine

. transmitters and touch-tone dial recorders were loaned tothe Metropolitan Police Department; Fairfax County. Virginia,Police Deparl.Inent; Montgomery Countv, Maryland, Police. .Department; New York City Police Department; and the Sal).Francisco, California, Police Departrnent.

On 25 July 1968, and at the specific request of theUnited States Secret Service, tbis Office provided two audio .countermeasures technicians to the United States Secret Servicein connection with the Democratic National Convention held in'Chicago, Illinois. Tbis was not an official detail althoughboth rrren were proVided with temporary credentials identifyingthem as being affiliated with the United States Secret Service.

On 15 August 1968, we detailed the same two men to the.' United States Secret Service to cover the Republican National

Convention in Miami, Florida. On both occasions, the teamrnembea-s were debriefed upon their return and it is clear thattheir activities were confined exclusive'ly to sweeping thecandidate,,' and potential candidates' quarters.

1.

Z. We "interviewed Mr. 'I Icertain other ~mployee;whoattended the Seminar, and the Director of Security to determine justwhat was said at the Seminar and the extent of any Agency involvementin the Ballou' case.

4./ Isaid that he has no other knowledge of the Balloucase, except for what he has read in the newspapers, and that he hasnot had any other conversations about the case with any members ofthe Montgomery County Police. We learned nothing from our inquiriesthat would indicate any other Agency invo1vem=t in the Ballou case.

5. The following are related excerpts fzorn the "Family Jewels"submission of the Director of Security on 16 May 1973:

During the period from 1968 to 1973, several items ofpositive audio equipment consisting primarily of clandestinetransmitters and touch-tone dial recorders were loaned tothe Metropolitan Police Department; Fairfax County, Virginia,Polic.e Department; Montgomery County, ~rary1and, PoliceDepartment; New York City" Police Department; and the Sal}Francisco, California, Police Department.

On 25 July 1968, and at the specific request of theUnited States Secret Service, this Office provided two audiocountermeasures technicians to the Urrite'd States Secret Servicein connection with the Democratic National Convention held in

'Chicago, Illinois. 'This was not an offiCial detail althoughboth men were provided with temporary credentials identifyingthem as being affiliated with the United States Secret Service.

On 15 August 1968,we detailed thesa.m.e two men to theUnited States Secret Service to cover the Republican NationalConvention in Miami, Florida. On both occasions, the teammembers were debriefed upon their return and it is clear. thattheir activities were confined exclusively to sweeping thecandi.date s I and potential candidates' quarters.

He said that he and others had been encouraged to discusstheir work and the problems related thereto with other Seminarmembers and told that what they said would be "non-attributable."In this context he had discussed the Office of Security's relatio,.swith local Police Forces including the Police Force in Mp~tgGmeryCounty. He said he mentioned the "Ballou Case" as an exampleof how the Montgomery County Police had used equipment providedby the Agency in their work, but denied that he had said or impliedthat the Agency was "involved" in the Ballou case. He said that hehad-alae related to the other Seminar members the fact that theAgency had provided assistance to the Secret Service in connectionwith the protection of the,President and Vice President and that heand others had been detailed to work with the Secret Service oncounter-audio activities at the 1968 Democratic National Conventionin Chicago and the Republican National Convention in Miami. I

10 January 19"12

In your issue of January 9th, one of Waller ScoU's Per~ona.!.i!Y.Parade responses stated that CIA "uses political assassination as aweapon" and that Operation Phoenix "rnn by the CIA established a newhigh for U. S. political assassinations in Vietnam." Since I have heldresponsible positions in CIA for many years and was also (during de­tached s e r vi c e from CIA) responsible for U. S. support to OperationPhoenix, I believe I am uniquely qualified to testify (as I have in public'session under oath to Senate and House Committees) that:

a. CIA does not and has not used political assassination as

a weapon.

b. Operation Phoenix was run not by the CIA but by theGovernment of Vietnam with the support of the CORDS clementof the U. S. Military Assistance Command.

...e. Operation Phoenix is not a program of assassination.

Members of the Viet Cong apparatus were killed in the course;'f military operations i(,J:-l'es isting-p'olice~arr·c.J·;:t:J· There is a~ _ ..... "':;.0,
