MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Howard Osborn
Director of Security
SUBJECT Identification of Activities with
Embarrassment Potential for the Agency
1. In responding on 7 May by memorandum to the DDO's
request for the identification of any incident which might
conceivably have an embarrassment potential for the Agency,
I cited the equipment test which is mentioned in the attached
memo. The test in question was related to the development of
a "close-in DF" system for use against hostile radio-equipped
agents, and in the course of running these tests, our tech-
nicians were in and out of some four hotels in Miami, with
radio equipment. This was shortly before the political con-
ventions, and at least one of the hotels was within a block
of the convention hall.
2. Although this completely innocent--although sub-
ject to misconstrual--activity may already have been drawn
to your attention by your ,own staff,�it has occurred to us
that we should ensure you are aware of it, given the involve-
ment of a Security officer,
