# 14-00000that in the event of danger the technicians planned to escape to an apartment which was occupied by an unwitting State Department secretary.Since the initial briefing, Mrs. Christ has gradually picked up additional information, mostly from newspaper articles, about the operation and subsequent trial. It is believed that Mrs. Christ has not obtained any substantive information about the operation other than what is mentioned in this paragraph. At the present time, she does not seem too interested in the operational aspect of the case, nor the reasons for her husband's actions. At the time of the trial, what little validity appeared in the newspapers had been previously discussed with Kessler (Garcia?) returned to Washington, D.C., but she was instructed not to ask any questions about his release nor his present whereabouts.Mrs. Christ was informed that Mr. Kessler, who was the Department of State Welfare Officer in Havana at the time of the technicians arrest, had contacted the prisoners shortly after their arrest. She was told that Mr. Kessler was writing of the technicians true identity and was able to verbally transmit brief messages to them from their families. Mrs. Christ can send message through Kessler to her husband, prior to the severance of diplomatic relations. She was also aware of Kessler's activities in behalf of the technicians and knows that he supplied them with opening money, vitamins, cigars, candy and other items as reported. She was told that Kessler hired Dr. Colomer, a Cuban National, to serve as the technicians attorney. In May 1960, Kessler visited Washington, D.C. on official business and met Mrs. Christ on two occasions in the presence of other Government employees.Mrs. Christ also knows that Dr. Colomer left Havana with his wife in June 1961 and has been brought to Washington, D.C. for consultation with Government personnel. She has been told that another Cuban attorney was hired by Dr. Colomer to represent the technicians and handle the case when the appeal is heard. It was not intended that Mrs. Christ should interrogate the Washington attorney, Mr. Murphy, but she appears to be acquainted with the name.Mrs. Christ has learned from newspaper articles that there are about 20 American prisoners at Ua Isle of Pines and that conditions at the prison are extremely poor. She also knows that food is brought to the technicians by a Cuban woman whom she occupies a cell with the technicians. She was advised that Dr. Colomer saw the technicians a few days prior to his departure; that they were in good spirits and that Mr. Garcia occasionally worked in the prison.Insofar as knowledge of specific operations originated by the organizations to obtain her husband's release, Mrs. Christ now knows of

caly one dirent approach. She was told that the American attorney offered to exchange medical replies for the treason of the three technicians and that the offer was never acted upon by the Cubans. She also knows that we have tried several other unsuccessful operations, but she is unaware of any details of these attempts. Mrs. Christ is cut in programme, which contemplates utilizing personnel in Mexico. On several occasions when the organization seriously considered a given operation, Mrs. Christ, by coincidence, has had countless ideas. For example, when Castro proposed exchanging tractors for prisoners, Mrs. Christ continually questioned us as to what action she was under way to include the technicians in any exchange. She also had numerous ideas as to how this should be carried out. Int, she could only be told that the negotiations were being closely monitored and that there would be no interference in behalf of her husband, unless the political climate was favorable.In the Cubo-American political atmosphere changes and specific acts occur, such as the hi-jacking of J.S. airplanes, Mrs. Christ puts new ideas or approaches regarding the means we might use to obtain the release of her husband. Of course, about the same time, we are usually considering a similar possibility.Mrs. Christ has been verbally advised of the contents of the messages we have exchanged with the technicians and knows that the Baize have been unable to visit them. She knows that over 1000 pesos was left by Dr. Calamen with the Gudas and that this amount is being supplemented through Bern. She also knows that we recently cabled the Baize Embassy in Havana regarding the receipt of packages and that the packages which we send to the technicians were not received by the Swiss, and therefore, no further packages will be sent.The operational details which have been discussed with Gen. Taylor but not with Mrs. Christ are of such a nature that little damage could be done if they were inadvertently revealed to Mrs. Christ. The main points which should not be discussed with her are:1. The name of the Washington attorney handling the case.2. Details of present or future operations designed to effect the release of the man.

# 2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992employment as a Type A part time employee. In August 1958 Subject advised that she was divorcing her husband and wished to be reinstated as a regular staff employee. Her reinstatement was approved and in November 1959 she was transferred back to Washington, D.C., PCS. During her employment in Panama she was under DAC cover. Back in Washington she was assigned to DDP/WH, Support Staff, Logistics Section.6. In April 1960 Subject legally resumed her maiden name.7. In May 1960 Subject was certified to the State Department in connection with ninety day proposed TDY in Havana, Cuba with JMARC; and in October 1960 she was transferred from Havana to Guatemala.8. In November 1960 Security was advised that according to information from "the Project" (presumably JMARC) Subject had, while in Cuba, allegedly been having affairs "with the three people" who were "incarcerated in the Cuban jail". This allegation very possibly was exaggerated and from information in the file may have been untrue. However, a Security officer on the Project seemed definitely under the impression that she had been having an affair with one of them, i.e.: (Dave CHRIST) and was of the opinion that her "immoral" behavior was "a probable contributing factor" to then recent arrests of Agency personnel in Cuba. According to another version, apparently hers, she went out one evening with CHRIST and on other occasions had group social contact with him and with two other TSD technicians who arrived in Havana three days before she left to go to the United States on leave. On the Saturday night prior to her departure on Sunday, she and her two roommates, she said, entertained these three men in their apartment.9. In Guatemala, Subject met and dated a Ronald Stanley DAVIC, an American who was "wanted" by the FBI for car theft and mail fraud. According to Subject she found this out by checking "the files" and reported it to her superiors. Also according to Subject, "It was decided" that there was "no real harm" in continuing her relationship with this individual "as long as I kept on guard"; and she continued to date him until the day he suddenly disappeared from Guatemala City on 24 January 1961. She had, in fact, expected him for dinner the evening of the day he disappeared.RETURN TO CIABackground Use OnlyDo Not ReproduceSECRET

ColemanC/OPS/LSNSUBJECT : FBI Investigation of AllegationsRegarding CIA Activities1. Reference is made to your memorandum, dated 30 July 1974 and captioned as above, requesting that the names of certain individuals and organizations be searched in Office of Security records and the results of such checks which may be passed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.2. The records of this Office contained no prior information identifiable with Security Defense System; Intelligence Services, Ltd.; or Advance Security Corporation. Our records reflect no prior information identifiable with Howard Gibson of Powder Springs, Georgia.3. Mitchell Livingston Werbell III, born 8 March 1918 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, served in the Office of Strategic Services briefly from July to December 1945 during World War II, and has repeatedly come to the attention of CIA through the intervening years through his activities, primarily in connection with the Far East and Caribbean areas. He has a reputation as a "wheeler dealer, con-man, arms peddler, and soldier of fortune."4. The foregoing information may be passed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.5. The following information from Office of Security records was recently passed to Mr. Frank Schwartz, Federal Bureau of Investigation Liaison representative:"John Patrick Muldoon - Subject was born 25 August 1937 at Washington, D. C. He entered on duty with the Agency on 7 January 1958 as a GS-03 Courier. During his Agency career he became an Operations Officer primarily in the Far East area. His overseas assignments included (Malaysia, Bangkok, and areas of Indonesia) He went on a

Leave Without Pay status on 19 November 1971, pending 24 disability retirement. His retirement became effective on 19 November 1972, as a GS-12. At the time of retirement he resided at 4305 Kentbury Drive, Bethesda, Maryland. The latest notation in his file indicated he may be employed as the Washington representative of the firm, Security Consultants International."6. Office of Security records reflect that an individual, probably identical to Steve Van Cleave of Atlanta, Georgia, had falsely claimed to the State Department in January 1974 that he worked for CIA in Latin America under cover of Coca Cola Company. He also apparently indicated that he is known to FBI representatives in Buenos Aires. This information is contained in Agency cables DIR-507298, 30 January 1974, and DIR-490860, 12 December 1973.Charles S. PhalenChiefSecurity Support Division
