Copy one of one copiesF.February 1974*26 Feb 9, Tues 3*MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. KuhnSUBJECT: General Gaynor's Recollections1. This date, at your instruction, I called Gen. Paul F. Gaynor to seek his recollections regarding his knowledge of the writings of Mr. Hunt and any official who might be aware of the circumstances of any Agency involvement in that effort.2. Gen. Gaynor advised that his memory is not altogether clear on the matter, and that he was "reaching," but stated that has he reconstructs the matter:a. He became aware that Hunt, while in WH, was accomplishing a steady flow of spy books, and that security approval was not being re- quested on the manuscripts before submission to publishers. (He stated that this activity continued later, as he recalls it, in CI Staff, and agreed with idea that the volume of writings was sufficient to indicate that a great of time was involved in Hunt's writing.) Gen. Gaynor advised that he raised the issue "up front" on several occasions. The reaction he recieved to his raising the issue was that "keep your stinking nose out of this business." He stated that he was lead to believe that Mr. Helms desired to improve the image of the intelligence profession and the Agency and that Hunt's books were a part of the program to do so. He stated that he was never told outright that this was the case, but the responses he recieved lead him to believe this was the case.b. He suggested that two people might be able to assist in clearing the issue, Ray Rocca and Walter Pforzheimer, both of whom were involved, in the "image" materials. He stated that Pforzheimer seemed to be aware of all the details - on an up to date basis - of Hunt's departure from the Agency to join the public relations firm, to the degree that Gen. Gaynor gained the belief that Hunt was merely moving his desk outside the building, but being paid by the same source as before. He also advised that he kept Miss Ethel Mendoza fairly current on what he was learning about Hunt's activities because she followed the case for him, and suggested that her recall about what he had learned and when and what resulted, might be better than his at this date. (He also mentioned an incident in which Morse Allen while on a TDY was told by a COS to ask Headquarters to remove Hunt from the Area because of his direct liaison with the president of the country, and other activities which were confounding station operations. Later, the COS toid Morse to forget about relaying the message, with the implication that Hunt was being directed by higher authority in the Agency and the COS did not wish to get in the middle by complaining. He said Morse wwould probably

c. He also suggested that another person--definitely no friend of Hunt--who might have some recall or have picked up information about the book-writing matter might be Anita Potocki of CI Staff, formerly of Division D. (I gather that she did not have official knowledge, but because of her dislike for Hunt, she made it somewhat her business to follow his career!)![Signature of Edward F. Sayle] Edward F. Sayle

A cable from Montevideo, dated 6 November 1960, indicates that Subject had written former Uruguayan contacts commenting that ha was working on the Cuban problem and publishing an anti-Castro newspaper in Miami.

Cn 25 January 1970 a source of the Office of Security learned that Subject was circulating through the publishing community "Give Us This Day," a manuscript written under his former operational alias and dealing with the events of the Bay of Pigs. Investigation disclosed that the manuscript had been in the possession of Tom Wallace, of Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, Inc. as early as 9 July 1968 and that it was sent on that date to William F. Duckley, Jr., of the National Review. The manuscript was sent to the Arlington House and Walker and Company as well. Both rejected it as too controversial, as had Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.

Suckley, Jr. He said he had only wanted an opinion from these gentlemen, and added that the manuscript had been returned to him. He had, he said, not wanted it published. Subject was instructed as to the danger of such a manuscript being published, and was to attempt to determine how many copies of it might be in circulation. He was not to contact Walkar and Company, who were the source of the original information.10. A rejavestigation of Subject was conducted by the Office of Security in July 1970. Subject and his wife were described by six neighbors acquainted with them for up to nine years, as excellent parents, good neighbors, and fine community citizens.11.

S NOV 1935MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for SupportSUBJECT: Request for Eception to Provision of FR 45-105 – Terence S. CZARANAC (P)1. This memorandum contains a recommendation in paragraph 4 for the approval of the Deputy Director for Support.2. Terence S. CZARANAC (P) is a Contract Employee assigned to the Madrid area in Spain in a sensitive assignment since his conversion from a Staff Employee on 4 July 1965. CZARANAC was a CS-15, step 7 ($19,330.00 per annum) and he is being paid at the same rate in his present contract status. His contract provides that he will be entitled to a living quarters allowance in conformance with regulations of this organization applicable to its appointed personnel.3. The basic living quarters allowance for Class II officers in Madrid is $3,000 per annum. The house which CZARANAC has located, with a one year lease from 15 November 1955 to 14 November 1953, has an annual rent of $5,600.00 excluding utilities. Therefore, for rent alone, he will be $1,060.00 per year over the 150 percent maximum allowed under the provisions of FR 45-105. On a 75/25 percent sharing basis of the 50 percent over the quarters allowance, he would be out of pocket $3,395.00.4. Due to the operational sensitivity of CZARANAC'S assignment, his request for relief on his housing costs was handled by Mr. Thomas Karamesines, ADDP. On 15 September 1965, Mr. Karamesines, ADDP, approved his being reimbursed on a 75/25 percent basis for the excess allowable costs up to, but not to exceed, 60 percent above his quarters allowance. This authorization was included in a letter to CZARANAC from Mr. Karamesines. It is requested that the Deputy Director

OGC Opinion 65-2476a, dated 12 August 1965B. Our Memo, dated 8 July 1965, Same Subject1. This office herein recommends an amendment to CRABANAC's Supplement dated 4 July 1965, to delete paragraph 7. entitled "Offset."2. This office acknowledges the OCC opinion, Reference A, which determined CRABANAC may retain without Agency salary offset any future royalties earned as a result of his literary efforts based on the fact cover does not include role of a writer.3. As Subject's cover "activities" have been officially clarified as being only a light one of a retired Foreign Service Officer for which the Agency will be making all entitlement payments and actually he will receive no funds from any cover, this paragraph, which is misleading, has no meaning in Subject's contract and it is hereby recommended that it be deleted from CRABANAC's Supplement.4. Further, in future cases when a cover is so light that Subject will not be receiving funds from cover it is recommended that no "Offset" paragraph be included in Supplements or Contracts.WILLIAM R.

You have requested the opinion of this Office in regard to the retention of future royalties which might be earned by Terence S. CRABANAC as a result of his literary efforts. We believe that he is entitled to retain such royalties without an offset against his Agency salary.2. We have been advised by Mr. Gene Stevens, WE/Support, that CRABANAC's cover does not include the role of a writer; CRABANAC's cover for status will only be a light one of a retired Foreign Service Officer.

Reference is made to the telephone conversation of 25 July 1965 between yourself and Rogers C. Brooks of this Office wherein background information relating to the assignment of Terence S. Crabazac was discussed.2.  Subject will apparently develop a cover as a writer, a field wherein he has an already demonstrated talent based upon several publications. The objective of the cover is to provide a basis of attribution for some of his income. At the time of the preparation of Mr. Crabazac's contract, the specific detail of his cover was unknown.3.
