Washington, D.C. 200056 May 1972Mr. Howard Hunt11:20 River RoadPotomac, Maryland 20854Dear Howard:I have taken so long in answering your letter of April 5th because of the careful consideration given to your request by all concerned, particularly as we have not had this problem before.I am sorry to tell you that our answer is in the negative, although we have taken every approach we can think of to comply with your wishes. Very simply, the problem is as follows:The statute states--At the time of retirement, any married participant may elect to receive a reduced annuity and to provide for an annuity payable to his wife or her husband, commencing on the date following such participant's death... (emphasis added).Our regulation on the subject repeats the language of the statute above and in addition states--A participant may not change his election under this provision...
[104-10194-10023.pdf — page 220]
We considered the possibly of a waiver of the regu-tion but ran into another problem here. The act specificallyprovides that the Director may proscribe rules and regulationsbut continues with the language that, "such rules and regulationshere to become effective after approval by the chairman andranking minority members of the Armed Services Committeesof the House and Senate." The regulations as presently enactedwere specifically reviewed by those Committees and approvedin their present form.Looking back into the legislative history of the act, webelieve it is clear that the Committees desired our act to con-form as closely as possible to Civil Service retirement, whichdefinitely would not permit a change of election after retirement.There does not appear to have been any administrative error ormisunderstanding at the time you retired and made your election,therefore, we have been unable to find any basis for making thechange you request.I think you know me well enough to agree that I like tostay as flexible in the law as I possibly can, but this seems tobe one case where we are bound by specific provisions with noleeway to meet the requests of individual employees.Sincerely,![signature]Lawrence R.

HOWARD HUNT11120 Rive-Road,Potomac, Maryland 20854..May 12, 1971.The HonorableLawrence R Houston,General Counsel,The Central Intelligence Agency,Washington, D. C. 20505.Dear Larry:I thoroughly appreciate the thoughtand study you gave my problem, and while your find-ings are disappointing to me, I must regard chos asdefinitive.Reflecting on the statute, however, Ifind myself wondering whether such irrevocable limi-tation on personal choice is, first, in the publicinterest, and second in the interest of annuitantswhose porsonal circumstances and civil status aresubject to unanticipated change. This could be thesubject of an interesting class action challenge inwhich, I imagine, more than a few annuitants wouldbe eager to join.All that aside, I'm most grateful foryour efforts to help me once again.Cordially,Honsid

SECRET21 June 1972MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Mr. E. Howard Hunt1. On 21 June 1972 Mr. Robert Tegethoff, INR, Department of State, informed Mr. James Franklin, Chief, CCS/OCB, that the Department of State had received press inquiries in regard to Mr. E. Howard Hunt's service with the Department of State, INR had arranged for withholding any Department of State replies until CIA had been consulted. Mr. Hunt's cover record showed that he was in Integrated Department of State status in Mexico from 1950 urt11 1953 and in Montevideo from 1957 until 1960. He also had nominal domestic Department of State cover from 1966 until he retired in 1970. Upon retirement, Mr. Hunt was " opened up as a CIA employee back to EOD in November 1949.2. In the absence of both Messrs. Osborn, Director of Security, and Geiss, Deputy Director, I discussed the State Department request with Mr. Leo Dunn, Acting Deputy Director of Security for Personnel Security. He concluded that everything considered, the Department should say that Mr. Hunt was assigned to the Department while in integrated status but, when pressed, not deny his basic CIA status. While trying to clear this line with the ADDP, Mr. Gelss called and at the end of our discussion, cautioned that any guidance to the Department of State in regard to Mr. Hunt should be cleared with the DCL3. I then talked to Mr. Sam Halpern, EA/DDP, to determine the whereabouts of Mr. Meyer. He recommended that I taik to both Messrs. Meyer and Colby who were in the OPPB think tank.SECRET

OLUACI4. As I was leaving my office, Mr. Tegerhoff called Mr. Franklin a second time to say that in the evening of 20 June 1972, Mr. John King, Department of State'a Press Office, and Mr. Joha Unumb of CLA had discussed press Inquiries in regard to Mr. Hurt which were made to the Department of State in the afternoon of 20 Jane 1972. These inquiries had particular reference to Mr. Hunt's Blography in WHO'S WHO IN AMERICA showing him as Department of State employee since 1968 and listing his office at the Department of State. Messrs. Unumb and King agreed the press should be laformed that he was not on the State Department's payroll during the period. Mr. Uaumb confirmed this arrangement when I called him and sald that he had added that Mr. Hurt retired in good standing from CIA in April 1970. I also cleared the proposed guidance with Mr. Ted Shackley, Chief, WH Division.5. I then saw Messrs. Colby and Meyer, outlined the Department of State's request and our proposed reply that Mr. Hunt, during his Integrated service in Mexico and Montevideo, was assigned to the Department of State. This information would not be volunteered by the Department of State, and Mr. Hunt's basic status as a CIA employee would not be denied if raised by members of the press. Messrs. Colby axl Meyer agreed that this was the only feasible line to take. I then asked Mr. Colby whether additional clearance from the DCI was required. He replied that it was not, and that he would brief the DCI.6. I informed Mr. Geiss of Messrs. Colby's and Meyer's decision and then called Mr. Tegerboff and provided him the agreed guidance./s/ ERICH W. ISENSTEADERICH W.

Attachment to Fitness Report of Howard Hunt 31 March 63 - 31 March 64## Section C (Continued)Special mention should be made of Subject's objectivity and integrity in carrying out his responsibilities. These were best demonstrated when he promptly and swiftly terminated a large and effective radio broadcasting project, to establish which he and his subordinates had labored hard, immediately upon belated discovery that insuperable, practical obstacles precluded realization of the project's theoretical potential.Subject'a professional background has attuned his constant attention to FI operational opportunities arising in the course of his current CA activities, a practice consistent with his habit of seeking maximum benefit for every dollar spent in time, effort or cash.

# MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for SupportSUBJECT: Request for Exception to Provision of FR 45-10D - Terence S. CRABANAC (P)1. This memorandum contains a recommendation in paragraph 4 for the approval of the Deputy Director for Support.2. Terence S. CRABANAC (P) is a Contract Employee assigned to the Madrid area in Spain in a sensitive assignment since his conversion from a Staff Employee on 4 July 1965. CHABANAC was a GS-15, step 7 ($19,880.00 per annum) and he is being paid at the same rate in his present contract status. His contract provides that he will be entitled to a living quarters allowance in conformance with regulations of this organization applicable to its appointed personnel.3. The basic living quarters allowance for Class II officers in Madrid is $2,900 per annum. The house which CRABANAC has located, with a one year lease from 15 November 1965 to 14 November 1966, has an annual rent of $6,600.00 excluding utilities. Therefore, for rent alone, he will be $1,960.00 per year over the 160 percent maximum allowed under the provisions of FR 45-10b. On a 75/25 percent sharing basis of the 60 percent over the quarters allowance, he would be out of pocket $3,395.00.4. Due to the operational sensitivity of CRABANAC'S assignment, his request for relief on his housing costs was handled by Mr. Thomas Karamessines, ADDP. On 15 September 1965, Mr. Karamessines, ADDP, approved his being reimbursed on a 75/25 percent basis for the excess allowable costs up to, but not to exceed, 60 percent above his quarters allowance. This authorization was included in a letter to CRABANAC from Mr. Karamessines. It is requested that the Deputy Director
