SECRETMEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, OTRFROM : Chief, WHDSUBJECT : Harold R. NOEMAYR (pa)Fel- 19601.  Reference is made to our telephone conversation on 10 February    1960 regarding the possible use by your office of Subject. Attached    for your information are some facts concerning his personal and opera-    tional background.2.  NOEMAYR has successfully worked for KUBARK under deep cover    for eleven consecutive years. All operations officers handling sub-    ject and his training officers at lHeadquarters have commended his    operational capability and achievements. He received an official    commendation from the agency for his work in Cuba.3.  WH Division has several motives for wishing to bring NOEMAYR    to Headquarters for a tour of duty.a) After having lived and worked for so long under deep coverwithout being able to mingle freely with Americans he needs to returnto the United States for mental and physical readjustments for himselfend his family. The fact that his wife has not been able to beooms anAmerican citizen and that his children have not had an opportunity tolive in the States has been of understandable increasing concern toNOEMAYR. This, combined with the stress of his double lifo requiredby his deep cover position and his non-association with anyone excepthis Case Officer with whom he can discuss his work and problems hasbeen making him increasingly more tense during the last year or two.NOEMAYR is an extremely capable Operations Officer and WH Divisionearnestly believes that it is KUBARK's responsibility to bring thisman and his family to the United States for two years. Your cooper-ation in this effort is being sought.b) NOEMAYR, even though he has received Headquarters coverttraining, still needs to be closely associated with Headquarters fora tour to acquire additional background on operational techniques andapproaches and to be exposed to Headquarters' activity and thinking.This experience is requisite to making a well-rounded intelligenceoperator out of NOEMAYR and will certainly affect his future useful-ness to KUBARK.c) A Headquarters tour will onable NOEMAYR's wife to becomea United States citizen and permit his children to receive, at least,a part of their education in the States.SECRET201-168881fileLIEDGE

SECRET- 3 -VI. OPERATIOKAL BACKOROUNDHOZMAYR was first recruited in Panama in November 1948 and transferred to Costa Rica under the HUMANOID PROJECT. He succoss-fully directed and exploited a high-level penetration of the Costa Rican Communist Party. Among other accomplishments he recruited two mail intercept agents, processing the take himself, and recruited thres additional ants. He also set up safe houses and was in charge of the monitoring post in a technical surveillance.In early 1953 he was transferred to the PBSUCCESS Project with additional duties as cutout under Project ESCROW.In 1954 he transferred to Cuba under Project AMPHODARCH. На went under cover as a studant since he had one more year of acadendo work to finish in order to receive a B.A. in Economics. In Cuba he worked on penetration of the Communist targets at the University of Habana. During the sazs period he was also in contact with subver-sive oppositionist elements.In May, 1957, Chief CI/ICD recommended that NOZHAYR be considered for spot assignments of making recruitment pitches throughout Latin Amarica to CP targets. This recommendation was made after Mr. Paul Purke, Deputy Chief CI/ICD, had an informal discussion with NOEKAYR on 9 May on this subject. Kr. Burke believed NOKMAIR would be an effective recruiter and NOS MAYR expressed an interest in such assign-mants.SECRET

SECRET- 4 -In May, 1958, ha volunteered to go to the rebel mountain head- querters of Castro, in Cuba, to obtain information for KUBARK. He received a commendation for his work during this special assignment.NOEMA YA was transferred to Mexico on 7 June 1958 where he has been handling Communist Party penstration agents and inforzants.He spent January 1959 in Cuba on a TDY assignment similar to that he undertook in March of 1958, and for which he received his commenda tion.## VII. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AND COMMENDATIONSOn 1 Hay 1953, NOEMAYR was in charge of an attempt to physically penetrate the hous of Manual :DRA Valverde, President of the Costa Rican Communist Party for the purpose of obtaining documents which could be used to prove the Communist Party's control over the Partido Progresista Independiente, a front which had been organized to par- ticipate in the 1953 elections. When the sub-agent who was to actually perform the penetration failed to appear, NJEMAYR, realizing the u gency of the operation, voluntarily and on his own initiative made a successful surreptitious entry, removing approximately 85% of the PPI documentation plus Communist Party documents. On 24 July 1953 the President of Costa Rica signed a bill outlawing the PPI. The parti- cipation of NOSAYR in the campaign to prevent the PPI from becoming a legal party is considered to have been instrumental in its success.SECRET
