What started out to si heap was thptof the general idlagasts of the genisaof a Cristo ty, he is Sity mp ofFebruary 1950MEMORANDUM FOR Mr. Baker hure Glen hilik the1. I first heard of thisyou spr of a de-briefing Huth Fischer,   which took place accut three months ago. I first tock a hegative view of   the proposal, which seemed to be in danger of loose and ineffective han-   dling; however, I have an entirely different opinion of such a conference   as outlined by Jesselson and under his guidance. It could, if very well   handled, furnish an opportunity for creation of morale, basis for propa-   ganda and a spring-bcard for continuing effort.2. Berlin est only is the obvious place for the conference, it is   the only place wh.re the impact could immediately be feit ir Satellite   countries. (Berlin radio, press and personal contact with East Germany,   Foland and Czechoslovakia.)3. Should the sponsoring committee include a woman? Fossibly louise   Schroeder of Frau von Bahn-arnack or Jeanette wolf? I also suggest Karl   Arnold. And would like you to consider the inclusion of a known anti-n   Soviet intellectual who also is anti-u.5.4. I think the budget should be expanied to cover the possibility that   the City of Berlin say not, or perhaps should not, provide the various halls   ani opera houses free of charge; also a "convention in Germany involves   more flowers, and music (usually a 100-piece symphony orchestra) than a   Vanderbilt Wedding. I think the over-all Berlin expense of 1 10,000 should   have a reserve of at least an additional 120,0005. I think this proposal should, in the interest of speed, be imple-   mented as follows:a. & conference of representatives of CCF, CFF, SAC for cuick 10.(24-hour) agreement in principle, so that a cable may be sent to thefield.b. Freparation of a roject Flan and procurerent of specialassistants.c. Freparation of a subsidiary propaganda plan to insureadequate reporting of the conference and adequate circulation of itsdeliberations, in several languages, behind the curtain.......6. Even with the method proposed in paragrach 5, unless a cable of   basic approval can go out of here before the 9th of February and the Project   can be prepared, cocriirated and fully approved prior to 21 February,- I   do not believe we can count on the ning suggested by Like which, inci-   dentally, is excellent coming as it does prior to the big presumptive explo-   sions of 1 Kay and the Commune uth Conference. I, therefore, propose   that the suggestion in 5 (a)ed on é Februay.

SECRET25 January 1950MEMORANDUM TO: BAKERMILLERHARRISONBRYANSUBJECT: Berlin Intellectual Conference1. A proposal for the support of an Intellectuals' Conference in Berlin has been pouched in by Gearing. He asks that this be given urgent consideration and that a decision should be made as quickly as possible. If the operation is undertaken, Josselson wili need the assistance of two or three people in Berlin. Those people might be the same as those mentioned in relation to the Communist Youth meeting in Berlin this Spring.2. Arrangements for the organization of a political and psycho- logical coordinating group in HICOG have been completed and are awaiting McCloy's approval. The purpose of this group is to coordinate the activities of the various staff sections in McCloy's office in these fields, and to develop a more intensive program of action.3. Gearing will sit as a member of the Committee representing SHUTE. This will give him the opportunity of being acquainted with all overt action planned in Germany so that covert operations can be properly coordinated with them.![signature]FAL:mtSECRET

#COPYJanuary 11, 1950.Your letter of December 29 was late in arriving and I am replying by hand to save delay.(a) The idea of a "MORAL" Congress is an excellent one! But should it be a "MORAL" Congress or something undertaken under the auspices of a non-government, especially a non-occupying government group. Perhaps the Free University can be nominal sponsor or some Europeen Fed for Cultural Freedom ed hoc.(b) Spring is too soon to organize such a conference properly. Suggest lete summer or fall.(c) To be effective conference must be tied in with some concrete issue of a cultural character in which all delegates con agree despite their difference on other things. What specific issue positive or negative is shaping up in Germany today in which leading intellectuals can take s position? The differences among the participants, if not as great as at Peris, will certainly be considerable, and this is not at all a bad thing if things don't end up as they did in Paris. The main thing, however, is to see that there is at least one major practical issue on which everyone can agree independently of differences in fighting Stalinism.(d) I assume you can arrence to cover expenses for Reise and Unterkunft of ell delocates..(e) Suggest the following de united from this count:Edmund Hilson, Dos Passos, Sinclair Lewis, Upton sinclair,Faulkner, Reinhole Nierunr, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Philip Pahy.Willien Phillips, Lionel Trilling, Farrell, perhaps me. If you can get 5 am the U.S. to and it would be enough.(f) Koestler was planning something similar to this. My surjestion woulibe to get in touch with him at once to see whether anything has come of his plans. He would also be a good man to draft the statement of the cell which should be signed by one person from England (Comille or Russell), Frence, Netherland, Germany, Italy, Belgium and US, perhaps some Spanish extio.The suggestion to set up an International Committee for Cultural Freedom may serve as the least common denominate of the various interests. Careful proportion, of course, is necessary but if you can get 50 to 60 people together or outstanding artists, we can do the trick.In conclusion, stating is important and the few people in this part of the world can get away the

CONFIDENTIALNFL-002-7614 January 1976ATTN:Chief, Domestic Collection DivisionDeputy Chief of Operations-(Watts)Chief, Miami Field OfficeIDEN A, ex-BKHERALD Staff Employee.1.  We met with IDEN A, a retired BKHERALD staff employee, on 7 January 1976 at his home in Tampa, Florida. IDEN A had requested the meeting through contact with an attorney in IDEN B. IDEN A spoke for several hours about his life since retirement in 1971. What follows is a long summation of his comments, and at the memo's conclusion his reasons for bringing this situation to our attention. (Forwarded under Separate Cover).2.  IDEN A, who had a major role in the Bay of Pigs activities, and who was associated with JMHAVE during the period 1961-68, has maintained many contacts within the Cuban community in Florida. LNCOLLAR, which was aware of the involvement of some ex-BKHERALD assets (Cubans) in the drug importation business, had been unable to penetrate this group in the period to late 1973. IDEN A, in the meantime, had moved to Key West, Florida, purchased a lobster fishing boat and equipment, and become a respected member of the community.3.  In late 1973, a former BKHERALD asset (AMTABY Project) who had been terminated in 1963, IDEN C, came to IDEN A in Key West, claimed he had escaped from jail in Cuba in 1970 (where he had been jailed for drug running between Cuba and WODUAL), and said he had information on drug traffic. He asked IDEN A to contact someone in LNCOLLAR and indicate IDÈN C's willingness to be of assistance. IDEN A replied he was retired and could not help. A few months later, IDEN D (ANTASY-27), another former asset, flew to Key West from Miami. He met IDEN A and informed him LNCOLLAR had sent him down to check on IDEN C. IDEN D identified his LNCOLLAR contact as IDEN E, an ex-BKHERALD asset and former BKHERALD contract employee. At about this time IDEN F, a former BKHERALD staff employee, moved to Key West and informed IDEN A that LNCOLLAR was being staffed with BKHERALD employees in its Intelligence Division, and that the leader of the division was IDEN G, another ERMERALD staffer.4.  A few months later, IDEN A received a call from IDEN H, another BEHERALD retirea, who asked about IDEN A's access to boats IDEN H wished to purchase for a relative of his wife, the relative residing in Venezuela. He photographed every boat in the Key West harbor, and it was apparent to IDEN A he was LNCCLEAR-involved. Later, IDEN F approached IDEN A and said22 IMPDET CL BY 011668CONFIDENTIAL
[104-10174-10072.pdf — page 6]
NFL-002-75PAGE 2two EKIDRALD paupio in Filand wanted to meet with IDEN A. IDEN A agreedto a meeting, and IDEN F introduced IDEN I and IDEN E. IDEN A know-IDEN I, but was aware of IDE E only by reputation, which was unsavory.IDEN E claimed to be a BKHERALD employee, as did IDEN I. IDEN A, ofcourse, knew otherwise, but said nothing. In March 1974, IDEN A got acall from IDEN J of the IDEN K, Miami. He was an ex-EKHERALD officer,and he said IDEN C wished to speak with IDEN A in Miami on an urgentbasis.5. IDEN G told IDEN A that he wanted the latter to work for LNCOLLAR   to establish intelligence networks in the Cuban community in Key West. He   said no one else could do it, and he promised to provide at the start   US$100/week plus expenses plus money to pay IDEN A's agents. He said   this money would not be reportable as income. When IDEN A asked about   the effect of his own ex-BKHERALD status, IDEN G replied 3KHERALD does   not want or need to know of this arrangement. IDEN G acknowledged that   US$100/week was a small payment, but said any information resulting in a   seizure of drugs, the arrest of drug traffickers, or damage to drug rings   will be assessed by a board within LNCOLLAR, and money (thousands of   dollars) rewarded for this assistance. IDEN A would then be free to split   the money with his agents. IDEN J, who was at the meeting, added that   within a year IDEN A should be able to afford the best and largest lobster   boat available.6. IDEN G and IDEN J impressed IDEN A with the dangerous nature   of his assignment. They stressed cover as the most important consideration,   and IDEN G said, "I don't want to go to any more funerals". They added   that if IDEN A got into trouble, there were 150 LNCOLLAR agents in Miami   who would come to his aid instantly. IDEN A was given emergency telephone   numbers and code names, and was told LNCOLLAR would arrange for his   airlift out (through the LNTUCK Aar Station) if needed. If his LNCOLLAR   affiliation was blown, IDEN G said there would be compensation provided   up to US$40 thousand, as well as relocation assistance. The relocation   assistance was not specified, but IDEN A assumed this meant six months   living expenses and assistance in job search activities, as well as   reimbursement for moving expenses. IDEN J and IDEN L, another ex-BKHERALD   official, were to come to Key West one week later to brief IDEN A on the   local situation. In the meantime, IDEN A was to prepare a report on what   he knew about drug traffickers in the Key West area. Two weeks later,   the two did appear in Key West. The little they knew about Key West drug   activities was included in IDEN A's report, which also contained much   additional data.7. IDEN A subsequently set up an intelligence net, and began serding   back reports. IDEN A was frequently summoned to Miami for meetings with   IDEN G. Often these meetings were a waste of time, and on occasion IDEN G

At one point IDEN J asked IDE A to write a paper on-the-capability of ex-BKHERALD assets who were drug traffickers, and who had been trained in infiltration and exfiltration, to penetrate WODUAL coastal defenses with drugs. IDEN A showed how the assets could circumvent any government effort to stop the drug traffic. The paper "scared LNCOLLAR to death," according to IDEN A. At the end of June 1974, IDEN J asked IDEN A to journey to Washington to brief top LNCOLLAR officiala on his conclusions. It was to be an all expense paid trip, and IDEN A flew up and stayed one week. Total remuneration received for the journey was only US$150. During the week, IDEN A had many meetings with LDEN G and his deputy, IDEN M, a former IDEN N staff employee. IDEN G indicated at that time he was impressed with IDEN A's reports and access in Key West.8. Leter, IDEN A cold IDEN G he had sent lots of reports, but there. had been no arrests, and therefore no bonuses. IDEN A said he would no longer work for just US$100/week. IDEN G replied he might be able to maka IDEN A a LNCOLLAR consultant to protect his retired status. Ile also promised IDEN A a large lobster boat (taken from those confiscated in LHCOLLAR raids), and an additional US$500/month to meet expenses and agent payoffs. IDEN C also spoke of using. IDEN A in LNCOLLAR activities in Jamaica and South America. Nothing ever was forthcoming on ary of these matters. During this period, IDEN A also provided LNCOLLAR (at its requesc) with the names of potential sources of information in the Miami area. Several persons were approached by LNCOLLAR using IDEN A's name, and a number of former BKHERALD assets were picked up in this manner. Included in this group are IDEN O, IDEN P, and IDEN Q.9. In May 1974, IDEN F came to IDEN A at a party and, while drunk, said he had heard IDEN G wanted to recruit IDEN A for LNCOLLAR activities. In June he made similar comments while at another social gathering. IDEN A mada no coment (other than requesting that IDEN F shut up). When IDEN A was recruited by IDEN G and IDEN J, they had made quite a point of saying only they would be aware of IDEN A's LNCOLLAR ties. Later in June 1974, IDEN F said he knew IDEN A was working with INCOLLAR. In July 1974, IDEN G said he did not like having IDEN L, who was IDEN A's handling officer in Miami, dealing with him since IDEN L was known to be an LNCOLLAR officer. IDEN G wanted to have IDEN A deal directly with him in Washington, but IDEN A objected, saying the arrangement was too cumbersome. In late July, IDEN G introduced IDEN A to his new contact, IDEN I.10. In November 1974, it became apparent the drug ring in Key West on which IVEN A's group was reporting was becoming spooked and overly cautious. Through several of his agents IDEN A learned this resulted

NFL-002-76PAGE &from a direct approach to the violators by LNCOLLAR officer IDES E. vho had come to Kay West unbeknownst to DEN A. Through friends is Miami IDEN A found out IDEN E was in charge of IDSN A's operation in Key West, had a homosexual relationship with IOEN F which went back for many yeara (and was responsible for the breakup of IDEN E's first marriage). had big real estate deals going in Miami, had a Swiss bank account, and was still using 8KHERALD cover in Miami.11. IDEN P, who was aware of EDEN I's INCOLLAR connection, and two other LNCOLLAR assets in the Miani area. had agreed to assist INDULIAR only if LNCOLLAR officials could guarantee LDEN E would never know of their relationship or see any of their informant reports. IDEN I arranged for this through IDEN G, and the three agents' files were placed in IDEN N's safe. IDEN A subsequently has learned IDEN E routinaly ssy ail of IDAN P's raporta. Later, when the revelations in the preceding paragraph were known, IDEN I told IDEN A there were many allegations about IDEN E, and that he had mentioned this to DEN G. IDEN Ghad assered hin he would be brought to Washington to discuss the matter, but nothing ever came of it. Ironically, IDEN E was taken into LNCOLLAR on the orders of LECOLLAR Director IDEN R, and it was specified that no clearance or background check would be undertaken on him.12. IDEN I and IDEN A decided to approach IDEN F to learn more about IDEN E. During a one hour discussion, MEN F said he had been appointed the recruiting officer within BKHERALD for persons who wou'd go to LNCOLLAR. IDEN F said he had known IDEN E for a long period of time, and had brought him along in BKHERALD hierarchy. IDEN A believes IDEN F also engineered the absence of a security check on IDEN Z by LACCLLAR since he did not want his homosexual relationship with IDEN E revealed. At that point IDEN A called IDEN G and filled him in on what had been learned, including IDEN F's admission that IDEN E had told him IDEN A was an LNCOLLAR asset. IDEN G denied knowing IDEN F, but said he would check on IDEN E. IDEN A met with DEN G the next day in Miami to fill him in further, and IDEN G ordered a full investigation. In the meantime, IDEN 7 told DEN E of his meeting with IDEN I and IDEN A, and IDEN E wrote a nemorandum saying a fellow LYCOLLAR officer (IDEN I) had over- stepped the bounds of propriety in his relationship with an LNCOLLAR asset (IDEN A), and that IDEN I and IDE A were ruaning an investigation on IDEN E. IDEN E described the situation as "intolerable". The LACOLLAR inquiry, then, turned from IDEN È to improper actions by IDEN I in discussing an LNCOLLAR employee with an asset. The Internal Affairs section of LNCOLLAR did continue the IDEN E probe and concluded by May 1975 that the charges against IDEN & were accurate. In the meantime, IDEN I was interrogated by IDEN M on his relationship with IDEN A.
