11 March 1974MEMORANDUM FOR: Domestic Collection DivisionATTENTION: Hr. Shaun P. RyanSUBJECT: Joseph R. MEROLAREFERENCE: HH 25826, 8 January 19741. On 10 January 1974 the HH/2/GS desk received the referenced memorandum from the Domestic Collection Division indicating the Miami field office had been in contact with one Joseph R. MEROLA. MEROLA had just returned from a business trip to El Salvador; and he reported that a friend of his had identified a Mr. Gremillion in the Political Section of the American Embassy in San Salvador as a suspect CIA representative. Headquarters traces on Joseph R. MEROLA Indicated that on several occasions in the past MEROLA had claimed that he was CIA agent. The Chief of Station, the Mr. Grewillion referred to above, was recently questioned regarding any Embassy contact with MEROLA while the latter was in San Salvador. The COS stated that both within the Embassy community and at social functions MEROLA had frequently referred to his contact with the CIA, past and present. He also volunteered this infor- mation to a former Station contact.2. In light of the above, it would appear that MEROLA had taken advantage of his agency contacts in an inappropriate manner to the potential embarrassment of the San Salvador Station. we would, accordingly, appreciate that this be given due consideration in your assessment of the advantage of your continued contact with hto.David L.

ratti,We have cent a private channel letter to the COS on this matter, *Fotingxata* asking at the end for comments as to whether M-ROLA is "embarrassing" the Station or CIA generally by talking so much about his CIA connections. If his re-ly is in the affirmative, I it will robably be best for you to draft a note to *Borz DCD* suggesting that he somehow be silenced, -erha-s by their withdrawing from contact with then since it is obviously something that he brags about and otherwise tried to take advantage of gtc.

TWX DCD/Miami 12475, 17 January 1974G.) TWX DCD/Miami 12476. 17 January 19741. One of our sources in Miami, Joseph Merola, revealed the name and position of an individual reported to be an Agency official in El Salvador to Matt MacVane during the course of an interview on 21 December 1973. This was reported in MIM-006-74 4 January 1974. This report was forwarded to the El Salvador Desk on 8 January 1974. On 16 January 1974 the Desk requested that DCD obtain the name of the individual mentioned in this memorandum who said he knew a CIA officer in the Embassy. This request was passed by telecon and TWX to MacVane by Ryan on 16 January 1974. The El Salvador Desk also questioned the reliability of our source, Joseph Merola, at this time and requested we query Miami as to his reliability.2. On 17 January 1974 at the request of MacVane, Ryan visited the El Salvador Desk to ascertain their objections to our source, known to us as a convicted felon. Desk objections stemmed from a 1964 report which indicated that Merola had informed persons that he was a "CIA agent". Further conversation elicited the fact that Merola had again made this statement in 1973 at an Embassy function. We advised the Desk that DCD was well aware of Merola's criminal background but that he had provided DCD with reliable reports in the past unrelated to his own "pursuits".3. The El Salvador desk confirmed the fact that the individual mentioned by Merola's informant as being a CIA officer was in fact such. Ryan advised MacVane of this per telecon on 17 January 1974. MacVane and Mainwaring told Ryan they were sending two cables relating to this case. The first would provide the name of the person who reportedly knew the CIA official. The second provided the names of two women employed in the Embassy who were reportedly involved inSECRET/SENSITIVEE 2 IMPDET CL BY 010650

This latter cable was requested after the El Salvador desk officer advised that all avenues and possible leads were to be pursued to determine who leaked the information relating to the CIA official. These two nares (phonetically spelled) were provided in the second cable by Miami. All of the information received in these cabies was passed via secure phone to the El Salvador dosk by Ryan upon receipt.4. MacVae advised Ryan via telecon that he anticipated meeting with Joseph Merola at 1000 on 17 January to address further matters concerned with this case. MacVane advired ran that he yould forward such information as soon as possible.SKION P. RYANcc: Miami Field Officecc: BH/2/08cc: Sensitive Control OfficerSECRET/SENSITIVE

# UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTMemorandumTO : Chief, Domestic Collection DivisionATTN : Support Branch/035 (JGross)FROM : Chief, Miami Field OfficeSUBJECT: CIA Cerative în El SalvadorMIM-006-74DATE: 4 January 19741. Joe Merola contacted the Mami Office on 21 December 1973 to explain that he recently had spoken with a friend of his in San Salvador, El Salvador. The friend, who allegedly works for the El Salvadorạn Secret Service, told Herola that when he (Merola) comes to El Salvador not to go to the US Embassy to see a man named Vermillion. The friend told Kerola that Vermillion is the Commercial Attache at the embassy and in under surveillance because he is suspected of being the CIA man in San Salvador. Merola told his friend that he did not know a man named Vermillion, nor would he ever have cause to sce such a man. The friend then told Merola that he was only telling him for his own good, and that if he (Merola) were to see this Vermillion that Merola would become a suspected CIA agent as well.2. Verola said that he was passing this information to us in case we did indeed have a man in San Salvador by the name of Vermillion. Merola has been a contact of the Miami Field Office for some ten years, and during that period he has passed to this office some very reliable information.BRUCE E.
