TO POLICE OFFICESUBJECT: Court Appearance on 13 November 1975, San Diego, California1.  On 13 November 1975, Matt MacVane appeared as a witness for the defense at the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, 325 West F Street, San Diego, California. The case was the United States of America V. Dalton C. Smith, et al. MacVane was called to testify by E. Mac Amos Jr., attorney for defendant Joe Kerola. In honor of the subpoena MacVane appeared at the court. On 13 November 1975 at approximately 15:30 hours San Diego time MacVane was called to the witness stand.2.  Mac Amos, attorney for defendant Joe Merola began questioning after MacVane was sworn in as a witness. Amos asked how long MacVane had been employed by the CIA? He asked if MacVane knew defendant Merola? He asked if MacVane were told by Merola about a shipment of surplus helicopter parts going to the country of El Salvador? He asked MacVane if Merola had volunteered other information to the Agency? He then asked if Merola were ever paid for such information? Amos also tried to establish the value of surplus parts in Latin America compared to the US. This was objected to by attorney Robert Thaller, prosecutor in the case. The judge sustained the objection and MacVane did not have to answer the question. Amos finished his questioning and Thaller began a short cross examination. Thaller asked if MacVane ever heard Merola mention stocks? He also asked if MacVane knew the name of the corporation that Merola represented? He then pointed out that even if some stock fraud were occurring, MacVane would not be witting because MacVane was not an investigator, but rather a collector of foreign information. The cross examination then ended. All questions were answered to the best of MacVane's ability and knowledge.3.  There appeared to be little purpose in the appearance of MacVane because it was obvious that MacVane knew nothing of any value concerning the case. MacVane's total time on the witness stand was about 10 minutes. After completion of his testimony MacVane was released.![signature]MCMacVane:ljh![logo of justice scale] E2 IMPDET CL BY CLI563Bay U.S. Savings Banks Regularly on the Payroll Savings Plan![horizontal line]DI:DISTRICT JUDGE

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDOGC 75-10735 November 1975SUBJECT: Joseph Raymond Merola1.  On 3 November I talked to Mr. Matt McVane, DCD officer stationed in Miami, and he said that he had received the subpoena from-E Mac Amos, Jr. to appear as a defense witness in the trial in San Diego on ii November. Mr. McVane agreed to come to Headquarters on 6 November to discuss the information in the files and Mr. Robert Starling of DCD agreed to join in the meeting. Mr. McVane told me that Lt. Colonel Douglas W. Haldane, who had previously been on detail to the DCD Miami Office, had returned to the Army and was currently assigned somewhere in Europe and that his address was Headquarters, USARSUR, APO New York, New York 09403:2.  Since this Office had received a letter from Mr. Amos with a request for the current address of Colonel Haldane, I called Mr. Amos on. 4 November and explained to him that Colonel Haldane was no longer with the Central Intelligence Agency and it was our understanding that Colonel Haldane was stationed in Europe. Mr. Amos did not want the current address of Colonel Haidane. He did state, however, that Mr. McVane would not be needed in San Diego until Wednesday morning. 12 November. As things stood now, Mr. Merola was the tifth defendant and it would be that length of time betore Mr. McVane's testimony vould be needed.3.  Mr. McVane told ine that he had been called by Mr. Robert Thaler of the U.S. Attorney's Office in California. I told Mr. McVane that I would contact Mr. Thaler. I called Mr. Thaler who is a a member of the Organized Crime Surxa Force, Department of Justice, Room 2307, 300 North Los Angeles Street, Los Angeles, California 90012. telephone No. (AC 213) 688-5808. Mr. Thaier was pleased to hear that Mr. McVane
[104-10177-10206.pdf — page 20]
was being made available to testify and explained that he thought Mr. Amos had aircady prepared a motion to dismiss if Mr. McVane was to be denied as a witness for the defense. I explained to Mr. Thaler that Mr. McVane was coming to Headquarters on Thursday, 6 November, and said that we would call him to discuss the role Mir. McVane played in receiving information from Mr. Merola.4. If this case runs parallel to many criminal prosecutions, the defense may never put Mr. McVane on the stand when he actually shows up as this may prove detrimental to their defense. However, we should be prepared for his testimony if, in fact, it does take place.![signature of John K. Greaney]John K..

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Joseph Raymond Merola24 October 751. On 23 October, Mr. Robert Starling of DCD called to say that Matthew McVane (phonetic), a DCD officer who is stationed in Miami, Florida, had received a telephone call from a San Diego attorney saying that he was mailing a subpoena to him. The attorney, E. Mac Amos, Jr., is a menter of the law firm of Holt, Rhodes and Hollywood at 1010 Second Avenue, San Diego, California 92101, telephone No. (AC 714) 238-1712. Mr. Amos advised Mr. McVane that the subpoena was for his appearance on. behalf of Mr. Merola who was on trial in San Diego.2. Mr. Starling indicated that the charges against Merola had something to do with exporting airplane parts without a license. I called Mr. Clyde Bryant, Office of Munitions Control, Department of State, to determine if this prosecution was related to 22 U.S.C. 1934. Mr. Bryant called back and said that Merola was one of seven defendants being tried on criminal fraud charges for having engaged in a flimflam operation against the Salvadorian government. The scheme was to establish a facility in Salvador to assemble and service helicopters. The group had assembled a collection of Army surplus parts for helicopters and was in the process of shipping them without an export license and they were seized by U.SCustoms officers on 21 February 1974. Mr. Bryant indicated that the Assistant U.S. Attorney in San Diego in charge of the prosecution was a Mr. Robert Thaller, telephone No. (AC 714) 293-5668. Mr.. Bryant also indicated that an individual by the name of Henry Maier-hoffer was also one of the defendants and it was Mr. Bryant's recollection that Maierhoffer had some previous connection with CIA.3. I called Mr. Starling and reported this information to him and he said that Mr. Merola was a real operator in the Miami area, always involved in some scheme to buy and sell weapons but that he had volun-teered information to the DCD Office, some of which was useful. I asked Mr. Starling to have Mr. McVarne call me when he got the subpoena but that he would not have to go unless they furnished the travel funds.![signature of John K. Greaney]John K.
