B. BackroundThe American national in question is a former WHD/O५० agent (FULMINATOR-1) of proven ability, courage and discretion.FULMINATOR-1's present occupation in Santiago, Chile, provides him with excellent contacts and cover for carrying out the tasks proposed for him above.He is part owner of, and holds the controlling interest (51%) in a Santiago printing and publishing establishment that publishes an English-language newspaper, The South Pacific Mail, which FULMINATOR-1 edits. His establishment is well equipped to handle a great variety of printing jobs.C. Current StatusOn 23 January 1952, WHD Headquarters authorized its Santiago Field Station to hire FULMINATOR-1 as a contract agent for a period of at least two years (See ANNEXES B and D). In his agent capacity, FULMINATOR-1 will undertake to develop the committee referred to above in Paragraph A of this Outlinė.At such time as that development warrants, an Amendment to this Project containing a statement of all new requirements, will be submitted to competent authority for approval.IV. RECOMMENDATIONThat there be allotted to this Project funds in the amount of $4,700.00 to provide salary for FULMINATOR-1 for the remainder of Fiscal Year, to cover the cost of bringing him to Washington for a period of covert training, provide his per diem allowance while here, and transport him back to Santiago, Chile following that training period.V. OPERATIONAL DETAILSA. Area of OperationChileB. Cperational Control1. WED Headquarters will exercise final control of this Project, and act as its support unit.

2. The field Station, Santiago, Chile, will exercise field control of Project operations in accordance with instructions from Feadquarters.C. Personnel RequiredOne cleared, witting agent to act as Project principal agent and cut-out (FULMINATOR-1).D. Communications PlanAvailable WHD pouch and cable facilities between Headquarters and the Santiago Field Station.E. Support Plan1. TrainingThe Project's principal agent will receive approximately one month of covert training in Washington, D. C., and return to Chile. All expenses in connection with this training are to be borne by WHD.F. Reports ProcedureProgress reports will be submitted to HD Headquarters by the Santiago Field Station in accordance with Headquarters directives.G. Cover and Security1. CoverFULMINATOR-l will remain in Chile in his present business position. As a cover story for his trip to Washington for covert training, FULMINATOR-1 has advised that an option has been bought on one of his plays and that a trip to New York to discuss the play with the prospective producer is completely logical.2. SecurityOn 10 January 1952, HD received an CPC Operational Clearance on FULMINATOR-1.1..4
[104-10177-10135.pdf — page 12]
Communications between FULMINATOR-1 and the SantiagoField Station wil at all times be carried on by meansof a secure cut-out.Since FULME:ATOR-1's cover is his overt business situationin which he is already established, and since that situationprovides him with printing and publishing facilities, it isbelieved the good operational security can be maintainedwith a minimum of effort in this Project.VI.

# SECRETDranch I, HD records1.  May 1952ME.ORANDUM FOR THE RECODMeeting with Agent, Paul D. LANGEVIK on 20 April 19521.  The sense of the following text was obtained during an afternoon meeting with Agent LANGEVI!!. Participating in the tall: vere Nessrs. Sryser and Tatton and Agent LANGEVIN. Four rajor topics were discussed and will be presented here in the order in which they were developed.2.  Printing Plant Problem: I. LANGEVIN indicated that in two and a half to three months cortain financial obliga- tions would come due. These consisted entirely in making an $8,000 payment arising from the purchase of equipment for his printing establishment. This equipment, which cost about $10,000 when purchased late in 1951, consists of an Italian- made press, linotyre machine, Speed Graphic cameras, tyre, etc. The market value of this equipment (ortly new and partly used) is estimated to be at least $10,000. The sum of $8,000 represents the total indebtedness of LANGEVIN's plant and is owed to a Mr. MACKENZIE of Casa Mackonsic. M. LANGEVIN ray meet this payment by either (1.) securing a loan from a Fort Worth, Texas, bank using his share in family oil interests as collateral, (2) taking on a Chilean partner, (3) getting the money from a Chilean bank (which would involve an 18% interest rate) or (4) getting the money elsewhere. Common agreement was expressed on the undesirability of taking on a Chilean partner since this would be a security hazard in any future Pl work, and would also eliminate the possibility of using the plant as cover for another agent. 15. LANGEVII, asked about his previous statement about leaving Chile after two years, roplied that now there was no definite plan or desire in that direction. Ee indicated he would have sone idea about the possibility of assistance from a Texas bark within a few weeks. T. LANGEVIN also suggested that he would gladly use his earnings for the next two years from the agency ($6,000 per year) if the Agency could put up the 8,000 in a lump sum. The printing firm is now making a profit above the salary which LANGEVIN takes out.3.  Priering on the Comittee: Mr. SIYSER discussed the overall tasks which LANGEVII: is expected to perform. Much emphasis was placed on the need for security in explaining this type of IW activity, particularly if and when DTHABELS isSECRET

SECRET-2-brought in. Mr. LANGEVIN indicated that his cover for con-tacting the Embassy was good, and further indicated that nounauthorized person in Chile knew of his U. S. Governmentactivities.4. Information on FUHLER: When questioned about the   discretion of FUWELER, LANGEVII indicated complete confidence,   stating that she was very efficient and would be useful in   assisting him in Pl work. IANGEVIN was thoroughly briefed on   the fact that FUELER must never now of DIADELS or its con-   nection with the committee.5. Words and Deeds: Mr. LANGEVIN stated that the format,   paper, type and photoengraving of this pamphlet was far above   Chilean standards. He said that Chile had only one printing   house capable of producing such work, and no artists of the   caliber exhibited in the pamphlet. He suggested a Spanish or   French attribution on poorer paper. The reproduction of posi-   tives is also not done in his plant, but must be contracted for   at a Santiago photoengraver's.6. Bank Details: Mr. LANGEVIN has opened an account at   the Chemical Bank and Trust, 74th Strcet and Madison Avenue,   New York City. All futuro monthly payments will be made to   that bank, beginning with the payment for April.Leo E. PattonSECRET

Project PBGROVEL contemplates the establishment in Santiago of an indigenous anti-communist committee which, when developed, will be placed under DIHABEAS.2.  Subject agent was granted an OSO clearance 3 October 1950, and proved his usefulness as a cut-out and in a DYCLAVIER printing operation. Subject was granted an operational clearance for, DYCLAVIER work 14 January 1952, and received covert training in New York City in April. Since his return to Santiago, subject has engaged in spotting and recruiting an indigenous principal agent who will in turn organize the anti-communist committee.3.

# SECRETER. 3-0947MEMORANDUM FOR: DEPUTY DIRECTOR (PLANS)SUBJECT: Project PEGROVEL, Amendment No. 11. Amendment No. 1 to Project PEGROVEL proposes the loan of the sum of $3,000 at 4% interest per annum to a contract agent in Santiago, Chile, in order that this agent may complete payment on machinery and equipment recently installed on the premises of the printing establishment of which said agent is sole proprietor.2. The propriety of CIA lending funds for this purpose has been reviewed by OGC/NRI who is of the opinion that in principle there should be no objection. The question of operational use by Ope has been raised with the WH Division and it has been stated that this equipment, consisting of the press, linotype machine, Speed Graphic cameras, etc., can be used for Opo propaganda production purposes.3. The question of control of the contract agent was discussed and it has been determined that the General Counsel's Office is being requested to establish legal means whereby the lien or mortgage on this equipment will be held in the name of a cut-out. In the event of any untoward action on the part of the contract agent or disagreement between the agent and CIA, action can be taken to assume control of the machinery.4. As is indicated in the attached memorandum from the Chief, WH Division, the contract agent is considered to be an individual of high intelligence and personal integrity. For this and the above listed reasons, it is recommended that Amendment No. 1 to PEGROVEL be approved in the amount of $3,000.FRANKLIN A.
