The society will also give aid to all groups or organisations with similar aims and will utilise all the means of thought necessary by the Board of Directors in order to carry out its ideals.c. "…(the channeling)….of aid to other worthy civic, social, business or religious organizations…." Naturally, our group would be delighted to aid others (see above).d. "…will it be possible to obtain financial assistance locally!" At the present time it is impossible to say definitely how much financial assistance could be obtained here. But it is interesting to note that the sum first absorbed for the incorporation of the old association was $600,000 pesos. This sum was also doubled from spontaneous donations, etc., once the group had become a reality.I hope the above will be sufficient for the present. We are presently waiting a detailed estimate of printing costs for "Por Chile" and studying the problems involved—a serious shortage of paper, for instance. But I honestly feel that this organisation and its official organ "Por Chile", plus a small number of younger people who are interested in fighting Communism, would be the firm beginning, of a great work in this country, which might some day spread throughout Latin America.Sincerely and cordially,(FUNERRIAL)

July 10, 1953(DTHA BEAS)Dear Mr;Thank you very much for your letter of June 16th, 1953, explaining that you are still considering the possibility of aid for our group.First, I want to apologize for the error which resulted in my last letter being sent sea-mail. Of course all future correspondence will be via air-mail.Attached find one of the 15,000 pamphlets which were recently distributed to Chile's University students in Santiago, Valparaiso and Concepcion. We think it is a graphic example of the kind of work our group can do. Funds for the project were raised by "For Chile".We are hoping to send you more complete details at the earliest possible moment.(depend ?)In spite of the local economic system we feel that we can/can ask support locally for any such project of the group, and will re-affirm possible capitalization in our next letter.There is no question that there is a great deal of work to be done here. The pamphlet, for instance, originated from the students involved and was produced with our aid.Hoping that we may hear from you soon again. Regards, and thanks for your interest.Very truly yours,(FUNEBRIAL)

This is to confirm and amplify reference (d), that Headquarters has prepared the initial letter from DTHABEAS to Martin J. COKENIAS. This letter, which requests COKENIAS to act as the "honorary" DTHABEAS representative in Chile, is being sent air-mail to the COKENIAS residence in Santiago.2.  As an attachment to this dispatch we are forwarding the draft of a suggested reply to be sent by COKENIAS to DTHABEAS, via air mail. COKENIAS need not use our suggested letter verbatim, as long as he does incorporate in his reply the ideas contained in our draft.3.  Upon receipt of the letter of acceptance from COKENIAS, DTHABEAS will send COKENIAS a letter of introduction to FUNERRIAL. DTHABEAS will also, at the same time, alert FUNESRIAL to the anticipated contact, asking him to put COKENIAS in touch with FUNERRIAL-1.4.  For security reasons wer are not enclosing copies of the initial DTHABEAS letter to COKENIAS. It is suggested that station make its own file copies of the letters sent directly to COKENIAS.5.  In his contacts with FUNESRIAL and FUNERRIAL-1, COKENIAS will naturally not disclose a greater knowledge of the DTHABEAS-FUNDERIAL relationship to date than would logically be available to him through his own correspondence with DTHABEAS. In order to facilitate understanding between COKENIAS and the FURIOSO-C group, however, the next letter from DTHAFFAS to COKENIAS vill include, in addition to the letter of introduction, copies of the FUNEERIAI-DTHABEAS correspondence to date. Headquarters realizes that this correspondence is already available to COKENIAS, since copies were pouched with HCSW-274, but it is believed that COKENIAS will be in a firmer position vis-a-vis FUNDERIAL if he can produce his own copies of such correspondence, direct from DTHABEAS.6.

DRATAttachment to:NCS-345DearI have received and considered your kind letter of _______ and am sincerely flattered that you should be willing to place such confidence in me. I would be proud to serve as an "honorary" representative of the Foundation, and pending receipt of the necessary further details, I will be happy to accept.You were entirely correct in assuming that I have maintained an active interest in the good work of the Foundation. In fact, my interest, rather than diminishing since I left the U. S., has greatly increased in view of my observations and experiences here in Chile. There is a great need down here for just such activities as you have mentioned in your letter, and I would welcome an opportunity such as you have presented, thereby I can contribute to the Foundation's program of assistance.In conclusion may I say that I shall look forward to meeting and working with FUNDRIAL and FUNETRIAL-1 as soon as you can furnish me with the laters of introduction to these gentlemen. I a.tee that the task at hand is not one to be measured in terms of salary, and I shall consider the satisfaction I amect to derive from this work as ample remuneration.Thanking you again for your expression of confidence in me, I amVery truly yours,

C0PYSECRETSecurity InternistonOctober 6, 1953Dear FUNEBRIAL:It is my privilege, by means of this letter, to introduce to you my good friend, Mr. COKENIAS, who has recently, and very graciously, consented to act as the Foundation's personal representative in Chile.I have taken the liberty of asking Mr. COKENIAS to serve in this capacity primarily because the statutes of our Foundation require that we seek the services of a U.S. citizen to represent us in any foreign country in which one or more Foundation grants may be operative. In addition, however, I earnestly believe this arrangement will serve to strengthen the very promising relationship already established between us and to stimulate those activities which are of mutual interest to us. I had not mentioned this stipulation in our previous correspondence, but I do so now in view of the possible imminence of a formal agreement between Propaganda Por Chile and the Foundation. Our receipt of your promised printing cost estimates would pave the way for approval and detailed planning of an actual grant of assistance.It is my hope and expectation that Mr. COKENIAS will call upon you in the near future to present his respects and ours. As our representative he is authorized and prepared to discuss all ratters of mutual concern. Mr. COKENIAS has been instructed to extend to you, to Sr. __________ (to whom, I trust, you will introduce Mr. COKENIAS), and to your grocs as a whole, every possible courtesy and assistance. It is ry sincere desire that this personal contact will prove to be of cormon benefit.Enclosed you will find a copy of my letter of this date, to Mr. COKENIAS. At the same time, I am sending Mr. COKENTAS a copy of this letter to you, as well as copies of our previous correspondence, so that he may familiarize himself with developments to date.Trusting that you and Sr. __________ will receive Mr. COKENTAS as our representative in the same spirit with which he has offered to serve, and hoping that this arrangement will mark the beginning cì a worthwhile and enduring association, I remain,Very ccrdially yours,DIEABRAScc: COKENTAS

SECRETSecurity Information-2-PROJECT CUTLINEProject: *FURIOSO-C (PFGROVEL) Amendment No.2.*Type: OperationalI. AUTHORIZATIONA. Basic Program Authorization1.  Basic project PBGROVEL was approved on 12 February 1952 for the establishment of a mechanism capable of conducting KUGOWN activities aimed at the accomplishment of WHD missions (a) and (b) in Chile; as set out in Section II (paragraph 2 b) of Annex B to the WHD/KUGOWN Strategic Plan dated 1 November 1951. This task was assigned priority one in Phase I (1 Jan. - 30 June 1952) in the aforementioned plan. Funds in the amount of $4,700.00 were allotted to this Project, to provide salary for contract agent Paul D. LANGEVIN (FULMINATOR-1) for the remainder of FY 52, to cover the cost of bringing him to PBPRIME for a period of covert training, provide his *per diem* allowance while here, and to transport him back to Santiago, Chile, following complotion of training.2.  Amendment No.1 to basic project PBGROVEL was approved on 14 July 1952 for the amount of $8,000 (later reduced to $6,000) to be made available as a loan, at 4% interest, to contract agent Paul D. LANGEVIN; the loan to be secured by a lien on machinery and equipment valued at approximately $10,000; interest anxi principal to be amortized at the rate of $500 per month, the full amount of the agent's salary. Authorization for PBGROVEL Amend-ment No.1 was the same as that for the basic project PBGROVEL.3.  The 1954 WH Operational Program, approved by Chief, KUBARK on 10 August 1953, authorized a maximum expenditure of $10,000 for this project during FY 1954.Security Information

### Security Information-6-# III. THE PROPOSAL## A. Statement of the Proposal1. In basic project PIGROVEL, it was proposed to undertake the development in Chile of a group or committee composed of Chilean nationals which would engage overtly and actively in anti-EGGYPSY efforts and would function as a WID mechanism for the accomplishment of WHD missions (a) and (b) aforementioned. As the first step in implementing the development of the comittee, it was proposed to engage the services of a PEPRIE rational in Chile as a contract agent whose task was to select, and exercise subtle guidance over a qualified Chilean, the latter to act as the organizer of the committee. It was further stated that at such time as development of the committee warrants, the necessary steps would be taken to place the comittee in the proper relationship with the DTHABEAS foundation for purposes of cover and support. The provisions of the foregoing are now revised in accordance with the proposal of this amendment as set out below. The overall objective of the basic project remains unaltored.2. It is proposed, in this Amendment No.2 to Basic Project PEGROVEL, that WHD furnish technical and financial support, not to exceed $10,000 during Fiscal Year 1954, to an indigonous group of Chileans for the purpose of aiding the group in its overt anti-BGGYPSY and anti-BIGHT KUGOWN-typo activities. WED support will be specifically designed to assist in the re-activation of the group along its original lines and to foster by support periodically advanced, the revival of the group's official organ, a weekly news nagazine. It is anticipated that the indigenous group will eventually also serve as a mechanism for the channeling of WHD support to other worthy groups with similar aims. (Seo Annex C).## B. Background1. In 1947, a group of influential Chilean business and intellectual leaders formed a legally chartered organization dedicated to an overt and active anti-BGGYPSY and anti-BICHT program through use of all types of KUGOWN media. The group published an anti-BGGYPSY weekly news magazine designed for the working class audience. The activities of this group, including publication of its official organ, were later suspended as a result of financial difficulties, public solicitation and subscriptions being, at the time, the only source of funds.2.

# Security StormationMission Santiago, working through contract agent Paul D. LANGEVIN, FUNEBRIAL, an unwitting Chilean with excellent contacts in business and intellectual circles, has succceded in ro-activating the former organization, and has recontly approached DIHAREAS with a request for support for the group's activitios.## C. Curent Status1.  The provisions of basic project PBGROVEL and of Amendment No.1 have been fulfilled. Contract agent Paul D. LANGEVIN has accomplished his mission, that of selecting and subtly guiding a Chilean citizen as the indigenous organizer of the committee. The loan to LANGEVIN, provided under the torms of Amendment Ho.1, has been paid in full, and the services of the contract agent, for this project, were terminated as of 31 August 1953.2.  The present committee, composed of influential Chilean citizens, has been in touch with the DIHAREAS foundation since Narch, 1953. The initial contact and subsequent correspondence with DTHADEAS have been handled by FUNEBRIAL, who, while not a menbor of the original (1947) group, is an outstanding caricaturist and satirist with abundant experience in journalism and publishing, and who has taken the initiative in re-forming the once-active committee.3.  DTHABEAS is currently awaiting receipt, from FUNEBRIAL, of a detailed estimato of financial support needed, to include printing costs of the group's woekly news magazine. The publication itself will be published and edited by FUNEBRIAL-1, a dynamic anti-BGGYPSY individual who also published the official organ of the 1947 organization. Upon receipt of the abovementioned estimatès, and pending thoir review and approval by WHD, DTHABEAS should be prepared to extend technical and financial support up to the amount of $10,000 per annun. It is understood that such WHD support, channeled through DTHABEAS will supplement at least an oqual amount which is to be raised locally by the FUNERRIAL committee.4.  Contract agent Paul D. LANGEVIN has been replaced, as the cut-out and principal agent for WHD, by Staff Agent Ihrtin J. COKENTAS. The latter is presently being introduced into the operation as the Chilean representative of the DTHABEAS foundation; this is being done by means of correspondence between DTHABEAS, FUNEERIAL, and Martin J. COLENIAS. Once WHD support to the FUNNEBRIAL group is actually extended by DTHAREAS, COKENIAS, through the exercise of subtle guidance made possible by his capacity as a DIHABEAS representative,
[104-10177-10135.pdf — page 57]
SECRETSecurity Information- 3 -will exert at least indirect control over the activities of the group.D. Advantages to be derived by KUGOWN1. By supporting the activities of the FUNEBRIAL organization, WHD will obtain the services of a secure mechanism unwitting of ODYCKE interest, capable of conducting extensive KUGOWN activities on an overt and indigenous basis.2. In addition to execution of its own KUGOWN type program, the FUNEBRIAL group will serve as the focal point for funding and direction of other KUGOWN activities carried on by other indigenous groups having similar aims. By extension of support to other such groups, the FUNEBRIAL organization could thus become the nucleus of a secure KUGOWN network, requiring no direct contact by WHD/KUGOWN personnel under ODACID cover.3. Since this operation would be funded by WHD headquarters, through the WHD mechanism DTHADEAS, and since control will be exercised by DTHAREAS through its Staff Agent representative in Chile, Mission Santiago will be relieved of all but a monitoring and reporting responsibility. This is in accordance with the WHD plan of removing direct control of, and attribution for, KUGOWN operations from the official station.E. Risks InvolvedRisks involved in establishing the KUGOWN channels envisaged in this project should be minimal. The indigenous individuals concerned have been recruited on an unwitting basis and will be handled by Martin J. COKENIAS directly. The FUNEERIAL group, as an existing legal entity, has good natural cover and can accept direct attribution for its KUGOWN activities. No Station personnel will be involved and the possibility of ODYCKE interest being disclosed will be further minimized by securely funding the group and backstopping both Kartin J. COKENIAS and the group's activities by DTHAREAS. FUNEBRIAL will be unwitting of the original source of his funds and of ODYOKE interest.SECRETSecurity information

Operational Control1. Control exercised by HeadquartersWHD/KUGCWN will exercise operational control through DTHABEAS which will disburse funds to the FUNEREAL group in accordance with specific WED instructions. Control will be effected through the allotment of funds on the basis of budgeted need, through DTHABEAS, to the FUNEREAL group upon evidence of satisfactory performance of the missions assigned to this organization.2. Control exercised by the FieldChief of Mission, Santiago, will exercise indirect control through Staff Agent Martin J. COKENIAS. By means of independent checking and reporting procedures, Mission Santiago will keep headquarters informed of the FUNEREAL group's activities. Should the group fail to provide satisfactory performance, Mission Santiago will advise headquarters to withdraw financial and technical assistance.C. Duration of the ProjectIt is anticipated that this project, if approved for FY 1954, will be continued in the future by means of a re-allotment of funds obtained through the yearly Operational Programs.D. Possibility of Overlapping JurisdictionIt is anticipated that FUNEREAL may eventually be used to channel support to other groups in Chile, either existing
