Dear Pierre s

Presideat
This is pretty vicious propagenda that
Cs- out of Mavens on ST February 1962, terming
the Peace Corps the ''CIA Pram Corps" and
claiming that Sargent Shriver is a former
employee of CIA.
Mr. Shriller has =verbena an employee of
CIA. CIA has nothing vhatever to do and vents
nothing ohatever to do pith the Pesos Corps.
Nothing could be more fatal to the Peso. Corps
than totems a CIA connection.
- Attach.
Sincerely
Stanley 3. Orogen

INTELLIGENCE AGENEYEECIA......STATED THAT, OhE YEAR AFTER ITS CREATION, THE SO...CALLED
PEACE CORPS HAS 800 MEMBERS IN 18 NETIONS.
HOWEVER, THE ATTEMPT TO INTRODUCE THIS CIA ESPIONAGE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN THE
TARGET OF CRITICISM IN VARIOUS NATIONS, INTUITING PUERTO RICO WHERE THE DIRECTOR OF
THE UNIVERSITY OF PuRgTo_raco, JAIME BENITEZ, CAME OUT AGAINST THE REChUITING OF
PUERTO RICAN YOUTHS, LURING SHIVER'S FIRST VISIT TO THIS ISLAND LAST YEAR.
AT THE SAES TIME THE AFOREMENTIONED CIA PEACE CORPS HAS BEEN REJECTED IN VARIOUS
AFRICAN AND ASIATIC NATIONS, WHERE THEY ARE CONSIDERED "INSTRUMENTS OF NEOCOLONELLUMe
AT THE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES.
RECENTLY 1,000 NIGERIAN STUDENTS DEMANDED THE EXPULSION OF MEMBERS OF THE AFORE...
MENTIONED ESPIONAGE ORGANIZATION TO THAT COUNTRY. THur ARE CONSIDERED TO BE 0INFI1T
RATION GROUPS" BY BURMESE REPORTERS.
AN EQUALLY NOTORIOUS REJECTION OCCURRED IN INDIA. WHERE THE PRESS OF THIS NATION
PROTESTED THE ATTEMPT TO INTRODUCE "THE TLOJAN HORSE OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY, FINANCED
WITHEMOY FROM THE MUTUAL SECURITY FOBEWHICH COVERS EXPENDITUEES RELATED TO IMPERIALIST
SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES TIEIOUCECUT THE WORLD."
MEANWHILE IN SEVERAL LATIN AMERICAN NATIONS, IN SCME OF WHICH THE NORTH AMERICAN
AGENTS ARE ALREADY AT WORE, POPULAR PROTESTS HAVE ARISEN BECAUSE OF THE MEDDLING BY

SOUTH OF TWO RIO GRANDE," WHICH IS MERELY A PRETEXT TO REPRESS LIBERATION MOVEMENTS IN
THESE COUNTRIES.
