This officer's performance during the reporting period has been distinguished by outstanding devotion to duty and exceptional competence in all phases of denied area operations. As one of the officers on the Station's "flying squad", subject has travelled widely and often to meet and handle denied area agents in western countries as far separated as Mexico City and Beirut, spending six of the last twelve months away from the Station; despite the consequent disruption of his family life, he has accepted and carried out every assignment with unfailing enthusiasm and consistently high standards of performance, is perceptive manipulation of people, whether in approaching and recruiting new agents or guiding and controlling established resident sources, has shown positive results in product quality and operational security throughout the reporting period. His ability to prepare an agent for clandestine operations in a denied area, in both tradecraft and psychological terms, is unsurpassed among officers working against their logical target; he is imaginative, yet meticulous in paying attention to the multitude of detail needed for successful resident agent operations, and is able to draw extensively on his earlier personal experience as a stay-behind resident to buttress his briefings. Most of his operational contacts have been carried out abroad, without the advantage of briefings. Continuing personal contact with senior Station officers; despite the often unfamiliar local situation, he has consistently maintained the highest Tradecraft standards and respect of all elements of the host Station.SECTION D1.

SECRETSECTION C - NARRATIVE COMMENTS (cont'd)wherever he has been.Subject's linguistic ability (bi-lingual Spanish-English) and has logical, orderly approach to his work are particularly effective with respect to clandestine communications. Not only is he fully qualified to instruct agents in SW and OWVL (including the use of numerical and literal ciphers), but the clandestine messages he prepares himself are notable for meaty content, unambiguous style and concise format; other officers less fluent in Spanish frequently consult him concerning their own OWVL or SW messages.Although Subject is a career agent, he has functioned in a staff capacity during most of his tour at this Station. Lacking experience with internal procedures at the beginning, he is today fully familiar with operational administration and production) and support matters, and his files (operational, administrative are among the best and most complete in the Branch. He is by nature a gregarious person but is also self-sufficient and likes to work on his own; left to his own devices, he may spend undue time on routine detail which could be handled by his secretary or one of the Branch IAs but this characteristic has been most valuable during TDY trips when circumstances have often left him without the possibility of any qualified assistance. In all his work he shows a healthy regard for operational and administrative economy and is cost-conscious in the use of funds and materiel.Subject's performance merits an exceptionally strong evaluation when rated against the standards expected of staff officers in his grade. He is an outstandingly able agent handler in Cuban operations and as he acquires broader experience, can be expected to compare equally favorably with officers running denied area operations anywhere in the world. In terms of personal character and professional talent, he is a fine officer, dedicated to the work of this organization, and it has been a distinct pleasure to have served with him.SECRET

SECRETSECTION D - 3 COMMENTS BY REVIEWING OFFICIALThe Chief of Station has chosen to review this report in order to underline the very high opinion held by the Station concerning the performance of this officer. The excellent educational background, intense devotion to duty, courage, imaginative approach to operations, agent-handling ability, and his tradecraft skills have been noted in other reports and need not be repeated here. However, the reviewer wishes to note that during the reporting period, laced with a number of new operational challenges and a sizeable amount of independent work in areas far removed from the Station location, Subject has turned in an unusually strong performance. In his handling of several important and sensitive agents being mounted into a denied area Subject demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, a fine knowledge of tradecraft, and unusual good judgment in a number of difficult operational situations. Thus, the reviewer fully concurs with the narrative comments and the performance evaluations of the rating officer.SECRET

HUNKELER ContractACTION REQUIRED REFERENCESAction Required: As Indicated1.  The present contract with Robert S. HUNKELER expires on 31 March 1967 and the question of renewal is up for immediate treatment and decision. The paragraphs below outline the major factors to be considered in this matter.2.  HUNKELER is a former staff officer who resigned from WOFACT in 1964 to establish a market research and marketing firm. He was recontacted in the spring of 1965 and employed as an independent contracter by the then COS, JMWAVE, who expressed the hope that this relationship might set a standard for use by WOFACT of former staff officers as long term clandestine assets and outlined HUNKELER's duties and responsibilities as follows:a. To provide cover for WOFACT personnel abroad.b. Spotter and assessor of Central American consular community in Miami.c. Spotter and assessor of recruitment targets throughout Latin and Central America as developed through his travels and contacts.d. Third party recruiter and agent handler, but only in certain carefully controlled circumstances.3.  These original concepts framing HUNKELER's activities have continued as the major guide lines to his employment. Also added was the task of reporting such positive and operational intelligence as he might elicit from his contacts and associates.Attachments1 - Operational Review of Robert S.

CONTINUATION OFDISPATCH RYBAT-SECRET UFGA-27019Headquarters Action Requested7. To summarize, it is JMWAVE's view that HUNKELER's only actual   potential value to WOFACT is as a support agent to Wil Division as a   whole, in supplying unofficial cover and possibly in spotting, develop-   Ing, and recruiting JMUNION assets. His value to operations of JMWAVE   Station itself will be non-existent or minimal, since there is little   HUNKELER can do for that Station which cannot be accomplished more   easily by a staff employee. Therefore, it is requested that Head-   quarters review this case and comment as soon as possible. The   alternatives are:a. Renewal of contract as it is at present salary of $3600per annum.b. Terminate, HUNKELER has advised that he is not preparedto accept a salary under his present level. It is suggested that thefollowing representative memoranda also be read in this connection:UFGT 18719, Memorandum in Lieu of Fitness ReportUFGA 26782, Unofficial Cover Opportunity, CaracasUFGA 26598, JMUNION/Donald James MillerUFGA 26195, Unofficial Cover Opportunity, HaitiUFGA 26170, HUNKELER Visit to Haiti8. The above was outlined to Robert S. HUNKELER on 15 February   1967 by his present Case Officer, Jeremy F. GEDLAND. After an object-   ive and frank discussion, HUNKELER requested that he be permitted an   opportunity to prepare a memorandum setting forth his views on the   situation and further asked that it be forwarded to Headquarters in   conjunction with the present memorandum. The Case Officer agreed that   he should be granted the chance to so express himself and to be heard   on all levels where his employment was being treated of. HUNKELER'S   memorandum is attached.Philip G. ELMARD

# ATTACHMENT TO UFGA 27019MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Operational Review of Robert S. HunkelerDATE: 16 February 1967## Background:1. Shortly after Hunkeler resigned from KUBARK he met with the then Chief of Station on several occasions concerning Hunkelers potential use as a Station asset. It was between the period following his resignation, and before his first contract with the Station, that the COS told Hunkeler that he was in a "cooling off period" during which time Hunkeler should devote his energies towards the settlement of his personal affairsand the development of his own business interests. Hunkeler was also told that his value to the Station and to KUBARK would be increased if he were free from all ties with KUBARK and ODYOKE in order that Hunkeler may be available at a later date for KUBARK assignments. The COS did not, however, make any commitments to Hunkeler.## Developments:2. During the months which followed Hunkelers resignation he proceeded to attend to his personal affairs in Lakeland, Florida, and established his company, Identity A, in the WAVE area.
[104-10180-10210.pdf — page 49]
- 2 -3. After a number of months had lapsed, Hunkeler was contacted by the Station COS and was recruited under a contract in the amount of $500.00 a month plus operational expenses. Hunkeler expressed a willingness to undertake any assignment and a desire to actively participate in operations. (His initial target was largely limited to the monitoring of the activities and the personalities of the foreign consular corp in the WAVE area and reporting on matters of operational interest as they came to Hunkelers attention.)4. Shortly after Hunkeler was placed under contract he submitted a paper to the Station which spelled out a number of specific tasks which he could, under the cover of his company if required, undertake for the Station or KUBARK. (These assignments are still comptable with hio present cover and background.) There follows a list of these tasks;(a) Sale of KURIOT doctored parts and supplies to the government of PBRUMEN through middlemen and in a manner as to not disclose Hunkelers involvement.(b) Providing non-official cover facilities to persons being assigned overseas and who require a tight, realistic and flexible cover.
[104-10180-10210.pdf — page 50]
- 3 -(c) Recruitment pitches, courier work, or related assignments anywhere in Latin America.(d) Monitoring of diplomatic and commercial activities in the WAVE area.(e) Reporting on targets of operational interest, both in the WAVE area and in those countries where Hunkeler visits.(f) Spotting and assessment of specific operational targets in the PEPRIME and in Latin America.Review of Accomplishments:5. Whereas Hunkeler remained ready and willing to travel anywhere at anytime for any KUBARK assignment, he was advised that his long range value would be jeopardized if he were to take operational assignments involving any degree of risk. Hunkeler was, in his opinion, "kept in a vacuum" as regards his being able to serve field Stations which have not to this date been made aware of his availability to travel except in those cases when his business travel takes to a country and the field Station is advised of his presence in the area.6. From the outset Hunkeler began to report on developments in the JAVE area and he began to work in organizations which would permit him to penetrate the diplomatic community
