This Notice announced the availability of two life insurance and two health insurance programs sponsored by the Agency under the name of "Government Employees Health Association, Inc." Eligibility for these life and health insurance programs has been limited to those categories of personnel expressly stipulated in the Notice. Nowhere are Covert Associates listed as an eligible group, although in fact a Covert Associate may be an employee of the U.S. Government. Until the notice or the proposed regulation is changed, this Staff is precluded from inserting in contracts similar to that of subject individual's any reference to health and life insurance programa normally available to staff employees.JOHN L.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Kermit RooseveltATTENTION : Mr. John BakerSUBJECT : Mr. Paul D. Langevin; Employment as CIAStaff Officer1. To those of us at Headquarters who have followed closely the work of Mr. Langevin in connection with PBSUCCESS, it is completely evident that he made one of the major and most outstanding contributions to this Operation and that he has demonstrated himself to be exceptionally qualified in the field of political and psychological operations (covert). I have just been informad by Messrs. Barnes and Langevin that the latter who has heretofore been employed in the capacity of a Contract Agent, desires to become more closely associated with the Agency and would like to be employed as a regular staff officer. I am very much in favor of following up on this opportunity, and I have good reason to believe that the Director likewise is specifically interested.2. There are certain aspects of this case which appear to require special handling and tailoring -- none of which presents any difficulties as I see it -- but, on the contrary, would tie in very neatly with both the near term and longer range aspects of the employment of Mr. Langevin. These aspects are as follows:(a) Mr. Langevin desires to begin his term of employment by the Agency with a period of service at Headquarters. (He has spent many years in Latin America, principally in Chile where he has owned and still owns a newspaper, and, in my judgment, it would be mutually advantageous to the Agency and to Mr. Langevin for him to spend not less than a year as a member of the Headquarters organization.)(b) Mr. Langevin has for some years in the past been giving an annual series of lectures in various Latin American capitals. These lectures have been arranged by an agent of his in New York and his audiences have consisted of business and professional groups and women's organ- izations. The general subject matter of his lectures has included talks on the threat of international Communism to Latin America. Mr. Langevin would desire, if it can be worked out, to be permitted to continue to deliver lectures of this kind in the future and is at the present time
[104-10194-10026.pdf — page 348]
contemplating a series of lectures on Latin America to be given in variouscities within the United States.(c) Mr. Langevin would be ready and able to accept a field assignmentin South America following the conclusion of the period of Headquarters'duty referred to.3. As already indicated, it seems to me that there are no sérious   problems involved in any of the foregoing and that the material can be   readily cut to fit the pattern. It is the recommendation of Mr. Barnes in   which I concur, that Mr. Langevin be assigned to the PP Staff during his   tour of duty here. He could in this capacity work very closely with WH   Division, but it seems to Tracy and myself that he can contribute importantly   to the work of the PP Staff and in the process broaden himself. As regards   the matter of the lectures, I would recommend that arrangements be made   to permit and even encourage him to continue these since it seems to me   that they would fit in very well with his general PP assignment assuming, of   course, that his Headquarters and field cover are properly designed and main-   tained. The Headquarters cover problem is not a substantial one and as far   as the field is concerned if Mr. Langevin were to go under nor-official cover   of the right kind this also should present no problem. There is a ready-   made cover in the field and in a critically important country by virtue of   his ownership-- for some six years of a newspaper in Santiago. It   would not be incompatible with his resumption of his position as owner and   editor of the Santiago newspapaer to work in an annual series of lectures   either in Latin America or in the United States. There is only one further   point involved in connection with the lectures: Because of Mr. Langevin's   intimate association with many of the details of PBSUCCESS and also in   light of the standing rules of the Agency, it would be desirable for him to   submit at least in general outlines, and preferably textually to the extent   feasible, the substance of his proposed lectures. He is anxious to do this   in connection with the forthcoming lectures for his own piece of mind   since he would like to be double-checked on the things which he should say-   and those which he should not say with respect to the Guatemalan development.   He could and in the material to Mr. Holcomb or myself or to you - and   after it has been checked over by one of us, we could arrange to submit it   to the Office of Security for such further checking as may be desirable.4. Mr. Langevin proposes to take a leave of absence of a month or   six weeks, starting within the next few days. I believe it would be   desirable for Mr. Baker, to start the necessary personnel and other admin-   istrative actions, including any additional security clearances which may
[104-10194-10026.pdf — page 349]
which may be necessary, etc., looking toward having everything in line for Mr. Langevin to come aboard officially at the conclusion of this leave.5. His home address is: 811 Hollywood Blvd.   Hollywood, FloridaFRANK G. WISNERDeputy Director (PLANS)cc "COPS -- DD/PCWH
