-_H/W ATTACHMENTΗΠΜΑ-335792 October, 1967Subject: SGSIEL Examination of LIRING/3.1. From about 1330 until 1530 on 29 September, 1967, LIRING/3 was given an SGS IRL examination. Rowton arrived at the safehouse (Tacubaya) with the SGS IRL operator at 0930 that morning and remained with the operator until the examination was completed. He had not given LIRING/3 any previous notice of the nature or extent of the examination, but siaply asked him, on 27 September, to keep the entire day of 29 September free for a lengthy dicussion with Rowton. Zowton introduced the SG-SWIRL operator as señor Albertini, a trusted "sccio", and spent the first hour or so reviewing his relationship with LIRING/3, ostensibly for the veneric via Doutor thon, introducing the anhject of certain doubts that he hak in the past concerning LIRENG/3's reporting, stated that Albertini had a means of checking scientifically the truthfulness of LIRING/3's statements. Rowton explained that he was particularly concerned about the possiblity of LIRICG/3 having doubled back with LERING andmaintaining with them a secret agreement of some sort to report on Rowton and his activities.2. LIRING/3 wnet into a state of visible shock at this and stated that even the thought of betraying Rowton had never occurred to him at any time. When the SGS IRL operator explained the scientific means he was to use on LIRDIG/3, the latter stated that he could not possibly accept this humiliating means of testing him since it was diazentrically opposed to his principles. He pointed out that he had accepted Powton at his word and he could not see or understand why Rowton could not do the same for his, adding that the whole thing smacked of methods used by CFACT and LIRING. He added that if this meant that he would have to break with Rowton, then regretfully he would have to accept this alternative. He explained that submit-ing to the SGSWIRL examination would inevitably destroy the idealistic and profound relationship which he had previously felt he enjoyed with Rowton.3. Roston and the SGS IRL operator spent the next two hours calming LIRING/3 down and finally convincing him that he would not be compromising with his deeply-felt principles by taking the test. He at last consented to be questioned on his loyalty to Rowton and insisted that he be asked, "Do you believe in Kowton?"4. After a brief break for lunch the examination was given inone of the bedrooms aff the apartment while Roxton waited in the living room. LIGING/3ATTI IMMA 33579201-79830/#DORY

2. appeared to be in reasonably good spirits after the test, although he was obviously emotionally strained by the experience. Rowton made a date to see him again that evening at 2100 to talk things over in a clazer atmosphere.5. At that meeting with LIRING/3 Rowton explained that he had felt it necessary to ascertain as objectively as possibly the extent of LIRIING/3'8 loyalty to him and he was happy to have scientific proof that LIRING/3 had not berayed him to the LIRING'S. LIRING/3 stated that after it was all over he felt Letter and admitted that he agreed with Rowton on the necessity for such an examination, humiliating as it might at first have comed to be. Be confond that any Hammonell (Pahntentions and omniactand that he had made in the past, were due to his intense desire to produce for Rowton, since he still felt very sensitive about having to accept money from Roston without being able to render commensurate services. He stressed, however, that at no time had he ever been disloyal to Rowton or done anything against Howton's interest, as señor Albertini could prove with the results of the SGSWIRL. LIRING/3 promised in the future to follow Rowton's direction scrupulously and assured Rowton that he no longer feit under any compulsion to exaggerate or fabricate anything to impress Roxton.6. Headquarters and the Station may find the SGSWIRL examination disappoin-ting in its limited coverage, but it must be realized that LIRING/3's initial reaction was entirely negative and at one point he treatened to break off completely with Rowton because of the insult to his "dignity". Although the SGSWIRL operator felt that from a professional standpoint it would be better to administer the examination at another time when LIEING/3 was less emotionally upset, Rowton asked both him and LIRING/3 to go thru with it on the spot, feeling that psychologically it was essential to make LIRING/3 submit, even for a limited test. Rowten also feels that the test did serve as a very favorably deterrent over LIRING/3 in the future, when a second one can be more painlessly administered, in a calmer atmosphere. It, of course, also covered the very pertinent question of whether LIRING/3 had been an LIRING double agent or betrayed Rowton in any way.![signature of Wallace B. Rowton]Wallace B. Rowton201-798301

Attached herewith is the SGSWIRL report (Idens u/s/c) on LIRING/3.2. Please note that the EGSWIRL interviewer has made the point that the principal misfortune in this interview probably was that LIRING/3 was not tested on the fabrication of contacts with the IDEM D's, which was thought to be the most probable area of deception.3. In view of LIRING/3's threat to quit working for ROWTON, we would be interested in hearing of any repurcussions or change in attitude that may have resulted from LIRING/3's having taken the test.

14 November 1967SUBJECT: LIRING-1 (IDEN A) RED #46719Subject was interviewed and tested with SGSWIRL on 19 September 1967 in a Mexico City safe site. The interview was reported by Raymond A. FRAZIER.The interview was conducted in Spanish by the examiner, Wallace A. ROWTON. Subject's original accent was stressed during substantially all of the interview except for the testing period.Subject has not previously been tested, and has had no contact with any WOFIRM representatives other than ROWTON.Subject is a married male Mexican citizen, an IDEN B by profession. Prior to recruitment his apparent political sentiments were somewhere in the far left, but he was not believed to be significantly involved in intelligence activities or organized political activities. He was recruited by ROWTON under the cover of a IDEN C. Subject has since his recruitment had contact with IDEN D elements and with IDEN E elements in his efforts to insert himself and ROWTON into the desired position. The initial goal of this operation was to monitor narc traffic and pick up whatever intelligence information might be incidentally encountered. As subject was and is, in his own idiosyncratic way, a communist sympathizer, ROWTON has not indicated any anti-communist, anti-IDEN K, or anti-revolutionary aims.Subject was known to have had and concealed information on numerous occasions, and it was presumed that considerably more lies were not yet known to WOFIRM. On this basis, SGSWIRL coverage was to have covered numerous issues, centered on other intelligence involvement, fabrication of contacts with significant IDEN D and IDEN K figures, and revision of his association with ROWTON. The issue of revelation of association with ROWTON was rather complex in that ROWTON never revealed his true name, nationality, or interests to subject, and also be instructed subject to reveal certain ostensible facts to various specific individuals.The examiner was presented to subject as an associate of ROWTON of Italian extraction.ATT #270 AMMW 15466 CS COPY 501-795301

Page 2IRD 449319## PROCEDURESubject first refused to take the test, basically on the grounds that in his estimation his relationship with ROWTON, as well as his whole way of life, were at variance with any such procedure. In the threat of four tears that this was being discussed, Subject also decided to quit working for ROWTON.Eventually, over a specific matter of hurt pride, Subject agreed, or rather demanded, to be tested on "two questions--whether (he) was betraying ROWTON to IDEN E intelligence and whether (he) trusted ROWTON," following which he would break off contact with ROWTON. Under these circumstances, the best course would be to follow this lead and attempt no more than a clarification of Subject's relationship with IDEN E intelligence. The examiner was not optimistic about the possibility of getting a valid test under these circumstances, but after talking with Subject for a time it was possible to develop what the examiner considers a reasonable and technically acceptable test covering unreported involvement with any intelligence service.The above procedure might be visualized more accurately if it is mentioned that once having met with Subject, ROWTON and the examiner had almost no time together without Subject being present, and it was not possible for them to converse in any language other than Spanish without damaging their cover.## RESULTSSubject has no connections or commitments unknown to ROWTON with any government or intelligence service. He has no involvement with the IDEN E's that he wishes to conceal from ROWTON, and he has no dealings with the IDEN E's which are contrary to what he believes to be ROWTON's interests.Concerning revelation to the IDEN E's of Subject's association with ROWTON, the issue itself was, not unexpectedly, a cloudy case. In brief, Subject stated that he could not really recall the exact extent to which he might have revealed the fact that he was backed by a IDEN C or that the IDEN C's name was (ROWTON's alias). Subject himself suggested that he be asked if he was "informing the IDEN E's of ROWTON's movements," Subject's way of expressing the idea of "reporting on" ROWTON. The examiner used this question, and Subject appears to have been truthful in his negative answer to this question.

Page 3IRD #9919NOTE1.  By the end of the interview, ROWTON &.d Subject and made an appointment for a meeting that same evening, indicating that is is quite unlikely that Subject will break contact with ACWTON.2.  It was not really possible for the examiner to determine the extent to which Subject believed the story of the IDEN C and the Italian JURAL examiner. The examiner feels that there were no real flaws in the maintenance of this cover and that the cover's only real weakness is its inherently shaky plausibility. Subject appeared to accept the alias used by the examiner and even made passing references to Italy: whether this was done because he believed what he was told or because he just thought it was the most courteous way to handle the situation is not known. In his next several "sort" references to the injustice of ACWTON and for the examiner demanding to see a SCOWIRL as him whom he did not even know for sure who ROWTON was. On at least one occasion he wondered that for all he knew ROWTON might even be working for WOFIRM. This reference did not seem strained, although it is conceivable that its purpose was provocation; ROWTON has told the examiner that Subject recently hypothesized out loud that ROWTON might be a Soviet.3.  The principal misfortune of this interview is probably that Subject was not tested ce fabrication of contacts with LDEN D'a. This was thought to be the most probable area of extensive deception. It should be pointed out, however, that the Station already knows that Subject has fabricated such contacts, and the most likely contribution of SUSWIRL would have been merely a further accumulation of examples of this same basic vice. It might also be pointed out that Subject's "reporting" to Case has dealt almost exclusively with his own activity, hence his fabrication has been more an irritation than a threat.Paul I. NAPOLILLI
