Subject: Office of Security Survey - Office of Security Support to BNDD
1. In December 1970 Robert Ingersoll, head of the Bureau of Nar-
cotics and Dangerous Drugs, asked Mr. Helms if the Agency could give
him some assistance in shoring up the internal integrity of the 3NDD.
According to Ingersoll, the old Federal Bureau of Narcotics had been
heavily infiltrated by dishonest and corrupt elements, Who were believed
to have ties with the narcotics smuggling industry. Ingersoll wanted us
to help him recruit some thoroughly reliable people who could be used,
not only as special agents in his various offices around the country,
but also to serve as informants on the other BNDD employees in these
offices.
