arohnd the middle of June, after which we hope to debrief
him on emigre organizations and activities, particularly
those with terrorist leanings or communist affiliations,
in North and South America.
S. While we have not prepared a formal memorandum
of all of our contacts with SECEN the officer
involved ____________can be made available to brief your
officers on the basis of his notes. We will also be
happy to service any requirements you may have at our next
meeting with SECEN. We would recommend against joint
handling of SECEN at this point because he has expressed
his fears that any revelation of his contact would
discredit him with the emigres with whom he works and he
has stipulated as a condition for his continued cooperation
that the number of persons involved with him or witting of
his cooperation be held to an absolute minimum.
