I appreciate recent letter in which YOU praiand his lectures to 7 last M:1.
This Agency has develo a group of uniquely skilled people
for dealing in operational and refearch fields. unter?subversion,
as your letter bears out, is one of these. But we depend on knowledge-
able people in the Community to help us make use of these skills
effectively, and one of the most important ways this can happen is for
us to be kept informed of the Comm ty's needs and problems. We
are more than happy to help.
I am sure there will be other opportunities this Now Year to
work with you in the common effort against Communist espionage and
counterwsubversion overseas.
Faithfully yours,

HEADQUARTERS
I would like to call your attention to the truly magnificent
impression that
your Latin Anerican
lectures to the
0
in his series of three
on 12 and 13 December in
His profound knowledge, not only 01 ns
subject but of Latin psychology, coupled with his ability to
speak Spanish as a Latin, made a profound and lasting impression
on the audience which consisted of Flag Officers from all three
Services and the national police, as well as the students of the
Nstional and Service War Colleges. I am certain that his remarks
and subtle illustrations of communist tactics and methods of
operation did much to convince the audience that it is extremely
hazardous to accept communist support or to attempt to use them
for one?s oven purposes.
25X1 I or -at pleasure to have I las a representative
of thel nd I would like to commend him for
his outstanding contribution to the success of this mission.
Sincerely,
