Chief of Station, Mexico CityOffice of FinanceEdward G. TIMSON, Covert Income Tax ReturnF2SF-5111 dated 17 December 19641. Headquarters review of YERNE's 1963 overt and covert tax return revealed that he reported his covert income on the overt return and that the tax computation on the overt return was incorrect. The overt return appears to be correct, however, it will be necessary subject to advise headquarters whether correspondence has been released from IRS regarding the apparent error in the overt tax computation.2. It is, generally, the rule that a copy of the cancelled check, in payment of the overt tax liability, be forwarded to Headquarters when covert income is reported on the overt return.3. It would be appreciated if subject would forward his cancelled check, or a copy thereof, with the above requested information.Distribution:1 - Mexico CityCOMA B.

Dear Fr.. Thomas:Due to increased demands upon my time from other clients, I find it necessary to relinquish my duties as legal counsel for the IILR here in Mexico, and I do so with great reluctence. One of my theretofore-lesser clients has recently expanded his activities in certain real estate developments in Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, thereby necessitating frequent absence from Mexico City. Then, too, I had underestimated the amount of time and effort required to satisfactorily attend the various legal and administrative matters confronting CEDS. Should you so desire, I could recommend other legal counsel; but I em inclined to feel that the Centro's principal problems would be of an administrative nature rather then a legal one.As for my legal fees to date, I am submitting a bill for $650.00 U.S. Cy. This represents a total of 65 hours at the rate of $10.00 per hour. My regular fees amount to $20.00 per hour, but, in keeping with my own political affinity for labor couses, I have reduced them to the lesser figure.May I thank you again for your confidence and good will in heving choser me es legal counsel for your organization's activities ir. Mexico. I shall be happy to give you a personal report of my observations on my next trip to New York.Sincerely yours,Henry P. LopezCS COPYSEA to HMMA24860201-253203

As Headquarters is aware, Edward G. TICHBORN is in Mexico on a tourist visa and with a number of "associations" (i.e., law firm in PBPRIME, TV and movie contacts in Mexico) which have sufficed to provide satisfactory superficial cover for his presence and activities here up to this time. However, he has been here long enough now and made enough trips to other Latin American countries where a concinuation of this tourist status and present cover arrangements should be changed for something more substantial. All of this became apparent when he began to try to obtain his working papers. TICHBORN's profession, of course, is that of a lawyer, but he cannot practice this profession in Mexico under Mexican-law. Therefore, to find a peg for working paper approval, something else had to be found. None of his numerous present cover associations or stories had enough substance to provide a sufficiently plausible basis for working papers. The corporation being created for the QRMANTLE activity under the cover story being used (e.g., fairly affluent PBPRIMER interested in culture and intellectuals trying to get something of the OEMANTLE acture started and, then,_interest PBPRIME foundations in picking it up) will not support an application for working papers. As a result, the Station and TICHBORN were casting about for something else with more depth and durability.(continued)Attachment:1.

CONTINUATION OFDISPATCHSECRETHMMA-244572. During the weck of 27 September, an old friend of TICHBORN's, Identity A, came up with the following proposition:a. Identity A owns Identity B which operates out of Mexico City and distributes PBPRIME shows dubbed into Spanish throughout the Caribbear and South American area. The business has been in existence for some time and, according to TICHBORN, is thriving. Identity A said that his business had reached a point where he needed legal assistance of various types, but was not prepared to turn it over to just any local lawyer since it involved a wide range of problems.b. Identity A, who knew from conversations with TICHBORN that the latter was thinking about getting Mexican working papers, made an offer to TICHBORN. He said that he would provide TICHBORN with office space and telephone in his present office area in downtown Mexico City on Reforma if TICHBORN would just advise him on what local lawyers to see on these various legal problems and act as a very general legal advisor to him on dealings with these people. He and TICHBORN figured this would take, perhaps, 5% of the latter's time.. Further, and most important; Identity A said he would provide the basis with Identity B for TICHBORN obtaining his working papers. For various reasons, however, Identity A desired an answer right away (within several days).3. The Station checked out Identity A in Station files and found that there had been some previous traffic on him in the period, 1957-61: HDC-W-334 dated 19 December 1957; HMM-A-9445 dated 12 February 1958; DIR-40866 dated 20 May 1961; DIR-41304 dated 22 May 1961; DIR-1303 dated 23 May 1961; DIR- 41298 dated 23 May 1961; and MEXI-8085 dated 23 May 1961. As will be noted, the May 1961 traffic concerned TICHBORN coming to Mexico and being employed as legal counsel to Identity A. (This never really reached fruition although TICHBORN used an association with Identity A, which was never more than close social contact and an interest in show business, as one of his various cover stories.) In all this traffic, there was not any derogatory information developed on. Identity A. Therefore, the Station on strength of the timing required and this previous traffic told TICHBORN to go ahead with the arrangement since it is not only essential for his local activities, but will provide him with stronger and readily available cover for any further Latin American trips (i.e., FUASPEN) he might be required to make. TICHBORN has been cold, to transact an absclute minimum of his business for KUBARK at this office on his regular projects. (e.g., QRMINE and QRMANTLE).4.. Hopefully, this will also straighten out the working papers problem on some sort ef rational basis in the near future.
