# DISPATCHTO:Chief, WHOCLASSIFICATION:SECRETFROM:Chief of Station, Mexico CitySUBJECT: General - LICONGASpecific - Edward G. TICHBORN ContractACTION REQUIRED REFERENCES:201-253203REFERENCE: HMMA-24352, dated 22 September 1964.1. As probably can be discerned from previous communications on this subject, the Station has never been too certain about the original understandings with Subject on his relationship with KUBARK. At least some understandings have been supplementary to the formal contract (such as, his availability for extended trips to Latin American areas in election periods). This is no complaint on the part of the Station, but merely a prelude to a matter which the Station brought up with TICHBORN in connection with his intellectual magazine and QRMINE activities.2. It has been the Station's inference, from talking to TICHBORN as well as comunications on other aspects of his relationship with KUBARK not covered in his contract, that he is not to be considered a full-time contract agent. In other words, he has outside activities in the legal and other fields here which it was understood would provide additional income to him at the time he entered into his original relationship with KUBARK. As can be discerned from his biographic data, he has operated at a level and enjoyed an income outlook that would not be satisfied by the present contractual arrangements on salary. It has become obvious to the Station, however, that if he is to handle, properly, present requirements being imposed on him by the Station a very high percentage of his available time is going to be involved.(continued)Distribution:1 - WHD2 - FilesCROSS REFERENCE TO:DISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBER:KMM-24353CLASSIFICATION:SECRETDATE:22 Sep. 64MCSI FILE NUMBER:50-6-116/3

# CONTINUATION OF DISPATCH## SECRETHMMA-243533. Taking all the foregoing into consideration and to avoid complications with his present projects or TICHBORN, the Station asked him what understanding ho had on the proportion of his time to be devoted to KUBARK activities. He said that his present contract was predicated on approximately 60 to 86-2/3t of his time being utilized by KUBARK. His present estimate is that he is devoting 85 to 90% of his time to KUBARK activities; and, if he is to do the kind of job that is desired on the two intellectual projects recently acquired, he will sustain that percentage. Of course, he continues to be available for appropriate election of political assignments (such as FUASPEN) in other countries from time to time; but, it has to be recognized that when he is absent from Mexico, this represents 100% of his time.4. The Station agrees with his analysis on current commitments against his time on behalf of KUBARK. Therefore, it was indicated to TICHBORN that he should be prepared to take up this matter with Headquarters at the time ha makes his late October trip to PBPRIME in connection with the new intellectual magazine (see reference) and that the Station would request Headquarters to de prepared to discuss the matter at that time. It is the Station's_understanding that his present contract extension expires 19 November 1964.5. The Station would like to emphasize that this matter was brought up at its initiative in order to try (n) to assure that demands being placed on TICHBORN recently could be reasonably expected to be fulfilled and (b) to get a complete understanding on all aspects of TICHBORN's contractual status (ritten and unwritten) so that neither the Station nor TICHBORN get committed to these continuing activities and suddenly find themselves in contention about the time/salary involved. It should also be emphasized that TICHBORN has not complained about recent requirements, but has devoted whatever time required to handle them and do the job expected.![signature]forWillard C. CURTIS
