On four occasions, he was held and questioned for short periods of time by Cuban -2. while there is no evidence that Cuban 15 has positively identified Subject as a CIA asset, it can be presumed that Cuban IS is alert to the strong possibility of Subject's CIA connection.

Subject may have been exposed to other than CIA staff employees by one of the members of his stay-behind net either during the period when he was operationally active in Cube or subsequently.

SECRET# NONOFFICIAL COVER REQUESTFOR INDIVIDUALTo insure the most effective application of nonofficial cover, it is essential that cover requirements be brought to the attention of Central Cover Staff in the earliest stages of planning. As soon as it has been determined that an agent is to be placed under nonofficial cover, either in the United States or abroad, a meeting with a representative of Central Cover Staff should be arranged. (When outside recruitment of an agent for a nonofficial cover assignment is contemplated, Central Cover Staff facilities are available to facilitate "clean" recruitments and protect the agent against identification with CIA during the integration period.) Initial discussions will be informal and exploratory and should result in the elimination of unsuitable cover possibilities. Central Cover Staff, Nonofficial Cover Branch telephone extensions are 5144 and 5122.Following the initial discussion, and based upon it, a cover require- ment memorandum signed by or for the operating division chief should be submitted to Central Cover Staff. It is specifically requested that a headquarters case officer other than the agent himself be designated to deal with Central Cover Staff in the development of the desired non- official cover, including the preparation of the cover requirement mem- orandum, in order that this development may proceed on a completely objective basis. This memorandum may be keyed to the paragraphs numbered-below to obviate repetition.No commitments will be made with any cover organization until Central Cover Staff has been advised by memorandum that the proposed cover and the agent's participation in the operation have been concurred in by the field and/or the Chief of Operations, DD/P. Such memoranda are to be signed by or for the division chief. Each agent proposed for a nonofficial cover assignment is subject also to personal interview by a designee of Chief, Central Cover Staff, for assessment as to his suit- ability for the proposed cover. This interview, when required, will be requested by Central Cover Staff.At the conclusion of the discussions with the operating divisions and discussions between representatives of Central Cover Staff and the cover organization, two formal documents ordinarily will be prepared:a. The first, a "Letter of Cover Instructions" addressed to the agent will be prepared by the Central Cover Staff. It will outline exactly the cover story to be employed and will specify what is expected of the agent to maintain a proper relationship to the cover fa- cility. Each item in the instructions will be discussed with the agent and/or his case officer by the Central Cover Staff case officer, after which the agent will be required to acknowledge the receipt of these instructions. The branch chief concerned will also beSECRET

SECRET18 August 1967MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, WH/3FROM : Chief, WH/3/VenezuelaSUBJECT : Assignment of Emilio Rodrigues1. I wish to make it clear that I do not oppose the assignment of Rodrigues per se to Venezuela, but I do have some reservations on what he is going to be doing. COS, Caracas intends to use him as the case officer for the CIHAVOC and CITILT Projects. Since both are basically CE/CI projects I think this is a great mistake. The amount of research in these projects necessarily requires a great amount of files research which Rodrigues in his cover situation will not be able to do. This will entail a greater amount of work for the inside case officer, defeating the purpose for which Rodrigues was originally considered; freeing the inside case officer for developmental work.2. The introduction of Rodrigues into the CIHAVOC Case will also inťoduce one more step through which most of the vital information that CIHAVOC-2 produces must pass. For example, his info now goes through CIHAVOC-1 to the case officer. With the addition of Rodrigues one more time consuming step will be added.3. I am also of the firm opinion that different case officers should be used for these operations since both are penetrations of the same party and at times produce similar info. In addition, both are extremely sensitive and the compromise of one could possibly lead to the compromise of the other.4. If Rodrigues was assigned to Caracas for the handling of a sensitive case which exposure would be embarrassing to the United States, such as a high level political penetration or a sensitive Soviet/Satellite Case then it would be well justified. However, I feel that his assignment as an outside case officer for these two activities is not since they could be better handled and serviced from the inside.SECRET
[104-10180-10210.pdf — page 24]
Page 2SECRET18 August 19675. Finally, the cost of placing Rodrigues in the field is not commensurate with his planned utilization. It will cost over $40,000 for the first year and approximately $35,000 per year from then on. See attached approximate schedule prepared by WH/Support.   An amount the current budget cannot easily absorb.![Signature of Ernest J. Tsikerdanos]Ernest J. TsikerdanosC/WH/3SECRET
