CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH# SECRETHABA-20593up the first social contact (experience has shown that the FJSTEALers here will not take the initiative and must be actively pursued) but a number of conversations (both face to face and by phone) ended up in the vague promise on the part of Subject that "we must get together soon". In the interim the Station tightened the coverage of AEBOOR by putting AELANTARD on a 24-hour-a-day basis for a little over two weeks and by conducting full coverage surveillance for about one week. Our reasoning behind this acting was as follows: such intensive coverage would possibly permit us to spot a likely place where we could inject an access agent; it would give us a better "feel" of his daily activity; it might uncover one or more of his clandestine contacts. The results of the effort, while far from solving our problems, did give us a wealth of information which should help us in our operational planning-once AEBOOR returns to his station.3.  The distaff side of the target was not ignored, and Nina T. MARGANDE managed to spend some time in conversation with AF300R's wife during a get-together of Identity on 21 May 1969. As a resuls of this meeting the groundwork has been laid for a follow-up by MARGANDE; despite the fact that the wife was at first cool and then lukewarm to the idea of getting together for a shopping excursion, we will do everything sible to bring such a meeting about and try have MARGANDE become the wife's "confidante', if this is possible. (In order to permit MARGANDE to pursue this contact in the most natural manner and to give her a chance to meet and assess other FJSTEALer wives, she has also become a member of Identity.)4.  Until his leparture for home leave AEBOOR was the primary FJSTEAL target and will continue in this position after his return until we can reach a decision regarding future action. There is one thing that should be kept in mind, however; and that is the fact that all of the FJSTEALers are reserved in their dealings with members of LNPURE. It seems that it is possible to get some of the FJSTEALers to accept an invitation, even to a private home, but to try to develop such a contact into a continuing social relationship is a much harder proposition. Leland 0. KROULD's experience with 201-313506 followed this pattern, and despite KROULD's efforts to continue ard follow up what seemed to be the beginning of a good relationship, nothing came of the attempt, Stephen M. CARSIDE twice tried to utilize a natural opportunity to get together with 201-820310, only to be put off, as he was in an approach to 201-625485; Paul W. LEVERONE tried on several occasions to arrange a dinner with 201-183943, only to be put off (and this despite the fact that 201-183943 maintains extensive social contacts with non-WOLADY types). 801-025485 has expressed an interest in social contact, and since he is a senior type who should not have to check out and obtain approval for his social activity, we hope that he will not conform as closely to the pattern. This is not the time or place to examine the possible reasons for the FJSTFALer attitude; it is merely mentioned to demonstrate that we are fighting an uphill (although not a hopeless) battle, a battle that we intend to win by fair means or foul.
