SUBJECT: Request for Waiver of 10-2 for Lucien
It is requested that a waiver of Administrative Order No. 10-2
be granted in the case of Lucien E. Conein presently assigned to
ESD-11. The need for this waiver is caused by the fact that subject's
wife is of French nationality.
It is our understanding that the wife is not with her husband
in Germany and has not been, although this in effect could hardly be
offered in extenuation.
- -
The subject of Conein's wife and her family was looked into
thoroughly about two years ago. Nothing derogatory came to light or
has come to light since. It was agreed at the time that there appeared
to be little security risk in the situation and Conein was continued
in his assignment. During the ensuing period of time, he has per-
formed in a most satisfactory manner and nothing has developed which
would lead to the conclusion that he is not a loyal and dependable
employee. During( the past year, Conein has been Chief of the Disposal
- ---- Unit at ESD-11. 'He has shown himself to be unusually imaginative in
the handling of this difficult problem. He has not only successfully
-disposed of burned-out German agents, but he has also taken care of the
details and handling of the various defection cases which have fallen
into ESD-11's hands. In view of the paticularly specialized knowledge
which he has developed during his tour of duty at ESD-11, it is felt
that his continuance' there in his present capacity is highly desirable.
