21 November 1969MEMORANDUM FOR: Alien Affairs Staff, Office of SecurityATTENTION : Mr. John RooneySUBJECT : Luis Clemente POSADA Carriles (201-300985)REFERENCE : Caracas 4018 (IN 87480) copy attached1. Caracas Station has requested Headquarters assistance in resolving as quickly as possible a citizen- ship question concerning Subject. In view of Subject's operational importance to the Station we would appreciate any effort your office could make to obtain a favorable decision in this matter.2. Subject is an employee of the Directorate for Intelligence and Prevention (DISIP) which is the successor organization to the Directorate General of Police (DIGEPOLO). As the Station Caracas penetration of this organization, Subject holds a key position and is able to monitor intelligence operations conducted by DISIP as well as internal Venezuelan political matters. In this position, Subject is a highly valued asset of the Station. For this reason, the Station desires that his operational position be protected and, at the same time, his future as a U.S. Citizen not be jeopardized.3. Since Subject actually obtained his own job through a friend in DISIP and made his own travel arrange- ments, the file does not reflect what type of documentation he has other that an expired reentry permit mentioned in the reference. A biographic data sheet is attached which gives the main points in Subject's background including his U.S. military service.4. The primary concern at this point is whether accepting Venezuelan citizenship for operational reasons will destroy or jeopardize in any way, Subject's plans to become a U.S.

ar donde HARD tendría que renovar su licencia de piloto.Posteriormente me entrevisté con el Sr. , cuya dirección es 7211 S. , su teléfono es el 5021995. La entrevista fue realizada en el Hotel Columbus en Miami el 21-10-69 a 10:00 a.m. El Sr. DD manifiesta que él tuvo una conversación con HARD y había quedado en proyecto la compra de un número indeterminado de armas de guerra. Según DD WITT, la compra de dichas armas la realizaría aalrededor de la segunda quincena de Octubre, por lo cual ellos (STANLEY y DE WITT ) lo estarían esperando.El Sr. DE WITT manifestó que HARD, compraría armas y equipos de guerra por una suma superior a $ 1'000000 (un millón de dólares) y que él en representación de HARD estaría dispuesto a vender la información de toda la transacción en un millón de dólares. La información según DD WITT, consiste en dar los nombres de las personas involucradas en la transacción (algunos viviendo en Miami) y entregar toda la información concerniente a la compra y traslado de las armas.Como me pareció absurda la solicitud de un millón de dólares por una información lo hice observar a DD WITT, indicando que no había ningún traficante clandestino de armas capaz de suministrar esa cantidad y segundo que al Gobierno de Venezuela, no le interesaba pagar una cantidad semejante por esa información. Quedamos en que en caso que HARD volviera por Miami o hiciera contactos con él, él nos avisaría, llamando al Cónsul de VENEZUELA en MIAMI y trataríamos de nuevo sobre este asunto.OBSERVACIÓN:-- Es indiscutible que HARD haya entrado en comunicación con HARD y STANLEY para la compra de armas.-- Para la compra de cantidades de armas en el mercado clandestino es necesario ver a varios traficantes..-- Los grandes traficantes de armas en los Estados Unidos se encuentran en New Jersey, N.Y.201-300985
