Although this procedure defeats some compartmentation principles, it was the only manner in which the Station could maintain eff ici ency with the three operations listed above. SCANTLING has known the agents involved with LIMITED, LICALLA and LIENTRAP for several years. In fact, he was at one time the agent in charge of these three operations,5. Operational Methods Evolved During the Period - The VIDALES operation (see paragraph 4 (C) above) indicated to the Stat ion the necessity for thorough brief ings and discussions with the agent making an approach to a target. This can hardly be described as a new operational method, but it does serve to illustrate the min imum efforts that should be followed. The forthcoming LINIMENT IV operation whe rein SCANTLING must recru it the landlord of the ta rget's build ing is of fering SCANTLING and the Station the opportunity to prepare thoroughly for SCANTLING's recruitment pitch. The excellent documentation prepared by KURIOT and the story being created by SCANTLING and the Station should increase the batt ing average on SCANTLING's cold approaches. (See HMMA-11366, 22 October 1958, and HMMW-7038, 21 November 1958, for additional details on this Subject).In a general sense, one other conclusion can be made about any Station's support apparatus where technical and photographic operations are poss ibi e, the utility of the information obtained is enhanced consider ably by accurate, comprehen sive and timely casing reports, SCANTLING, as previously mentioned, is an excellent asset for this type of support.6. Administration - SCANTLING's contract expires on 15 February 1959. As of that date SCANTLING will have received an annual salary of $3, 600, 00 U. S. for two years. The Station plans to raise his annual compensation to $4,000.00 U.S. No other significant administrative problems exist,7. Outlook for Future Development - Station plans call for the continued ut ilization of SCANTLING in the same manner as he is presently being used. The Station will keep SCANTLING as an independent asset and, it is hoped, resist the temptation to make him a principal agent in charge of numerous sub-agents. It is believed that SCANTLING is the type of support asset that can be worthwh ile to the Station for many years to come and that every effore should be made to protect his security and value to KUBA RK.ACCOUNT OF DEVELOPMENTS RAYMOND II. GERENDE SEGMENT8. Agent information- Aside from the agent information given in HMMA-11368 22 October 1955, the only significant development was GERENDE's December 1958 marriage to a U. S. educated girl of Dutch citizenship. The $500.00 U. S. for the purchase of two plane tickets as a wedding gift to GERENDE was designed to impress GERENDE with the fact that KUBARK thinks highly of him as an individual and that KUBARK has a great interest in his intelligence career, GERENDE is at the age and stage in life where he is beginning to wonder just what the future holds for him. In the near future, the Station will propose a salary raise for GERENDE
