# SECRETSECURITY INFORMATIONKIYORANEXJK FOR THE CHIEF OF FOREIGA INTELLIGENCESUBJECT: Project EIRADIAL5 August 19531.  The purpose of this project is to provide for the covert training and transfer of a contract agent from Costa Rica to Argentina, where the latter will develop penetrations of the Communist Party of Argentina (PCA) and Communist front organizations and perform support functions as assigned.2.  BIRADIAL, an American citizen born in Mlinois in 1922, is married to a Costa Rican girl and has two small children. Since June 1949 he has worked for CIA, under the cryptonym HUMANOID, in Costa Rica as a contract agent. He has proven himself particuairly adept at spotting and recruiting agents and has successfully supervised the direction of a high-level Communist Party penetration agent.3.  The agent has been accepted as a student at the University of Buenos Aires for the school year beginning March 1954. He will try to establish himself in the photography business, in which he is well-qualified and has had previous experience, as an ostensible means to make ends meet while completing his studies.4.  Contact and communications between BIRADIAL and his case officer will be clandestine, under pretexts still to be arranged. Communications betsean the former and any agents or sources he recruits will be arranged according to the circumstances.5.  BIRADIAL has been dependent upon this Agency for the past four years, which financial dependence has increased considerably over this period with the increase of his family. His motivation is patriotic, and his past actions and achievements have borne this out.6.  The estimated annual cost of this project is $5,705 salary and allowances (GS-7), $3,550 travel and per diem (to U.S. for covert training, leave and return to Argentina), $500 transportation of effects and $720 for operational expenses and travel, a total of $10,475.7.

The attached project is presented for approval.2.  Project BIADIAL concerns the transfer of Contract Agent HUMANOID from Costa Rica to Argentina, with interim training at headquarters. Upon approval of this project, HUMANOID will henceforth be known as BRADIAL.3.  Since 1949, BIRADIAL, a native-born American, has been the most valuable agent of the San Jose Station. He successfully directed and exploited a high-level penetration of the Communist Party of Costa Rica. Among other accomplishments, he recruited two rail intercept agents, processing the take himself, and has recruited three additional agents presently being used; he also set up safe-houses and was in charge of the monitoring post in a technical surveillance. In the latter instance, his quick thinking in removing the equipment prevented its discovery, when the operation was blown due to circumstances unrelated to his handling of the operation. More recently, BRADIAL personally entered the Communist Party headquarters surreptitiously during the Hay Day celebration and carried off more than 75% of their official records. His case officers have been impressed with his initiative, security-mindedness, and ability to exercise good judgement under operational stress. BIRADIAL's transfer from Costa Rica to another area has become necessary due to the expiration of his cover status as a student there.4.  BIRADIAL has already created his cover for the first year of his new assignment in Buenos Aires, having been accepted as a student at the University of Buenos Aires for the term beginning March 1954. During this period he will develop a small photographic business, in which he has had professional experience, to cover his activities in Argentina after completing his university studies. No funds for this purpose will be required from this Agency.The project's objectives are the development of penetrations of the Communist Party of Argentina (FCA), its front organizations andSEGRET201-1688 F/

# SECRETSecurity Information- 2 -to develop information on penetration of government circles.BIRADIAL will perform cutout duties as assigned by the Chief of Mission.5. The estimated cost of this project for the first year is $10,475.00. This includes: salary of $4205 (CS-7 level) plus allowances of $1500; operational travel $120; operational expenses $600; the balance of $4050 comprises $2650 for the travel of BIRADIAL, his wife and two children from Costa Rica to the United States and thence to Argentina; $500 for the transportation of personal effects either from Costa Rica or the United States to Argentina; and $900 for per diem while in travel status and during training at headquarters. Subject is selling most of his personal effects in Costa Rica. The normal annual cost of this project therefore, would be $6425.6. BIRADIAL will be permitted to take one month of leave with pay, before entering training. He justly deserves this consideration. While in training a new contract will be signed with BERADIAL embodying the features outlined in paragraph 5.7. Since it is urgent for the preservation of BIRADIAL's cover that this project be implemented as soon as possible, it is requested that the effective date be 1 August 1953.![signature]J. C.

SEONETSecurity Information-2-b. Personal data:BIRADIAL is an American citizen born in Illinois in 1922,who is married to a Costa Rican and has two small children.He spent approximately 5 years doing U.S. Air Force intel-ligence work in the CBI and Carribean Theatres. Since June1949 he has worked for KUBARK in Costa Rica as a ContractAgent under student cover. ile is particularly adept atspotting and recruiting agents and has successfully super-vised the direction of a high-level Communist Partypenetration agent.5. Cover:a. Clandestine contact will be arranged between the agent andthe case officer. In view of the sensitive nature of hisobjectives and the modest position he is likely to occupyin the American community in Buenos Aires, it is regardedas inconsistent and insecure for BIRADIAL to enter into asocial relationship with his case officer.b. Subject has been accepted as a student at the University ofBuenos Aires for the school year beginning March 1954.Having a wife and two children he will try to establish him-self in the photographic business, ostensibly to make endsmeet while completing his studies. He is qualified and hashad experience in this business before. By the time hisstudies are completed (in about one year) he proposes tohave developed his photographic business sufficiently toprovide adequate cover, justifying his remaining in Argentina.6. Contact and Communications:a. The case officer will contact BIRADIAL directly to providehim with direction and collect his reports. Both are native-born Americans. Contacts will be clandestine upon pretextsstill to be arranged.b. Any sub-agents subsequently recruited also will be contactedclandestinely. They will be confined to persons within thenormal social and business strata of BRADIAL.c. No special problems of contact and communication are anti-cipated.7. Control:a.

Reference cable proposed subject for your consideration as a contract agent, in which capacity he has already served. KE most ably during the past four years in Costa Rica. The San Jose Station was requested to forward subject's file for your perusal; we hope that you are now in receipt of this file.2.  This dispatch has the purpose of presenting to you Headquarters' appraisal of HUMANOID. A review of the Headquarters file indicates that HUMANOID is an aggressive, rather well qualified operative, who has enjoyed a good measure of success and has exercised good judgment under operational stress. He desires a career with this Agency, and is devoted to the work. Subject's academic education has been designed to fit him to become an economist. Prior to entering a contract relationship with EUBARK, subject had received U. S. Army intelligence training and had worked for Air Force Intelligence in Panama.3.  There follows a summary and appraisal of HUMANOID's work which has been provided by the Headquarters Costa Rican Desk.    a.  HUMANOID was recruited by the Panama station in November 1948, but in early 1949 he moved to San Jose, Costa Rica, where he enrolled in the University of Costa Rica as a student of economics. In June 1949 Project HUMANOID was activated, with subject handling and acting as cutout for two mail intercept agents and a low level penetration of the Communist Party. In October 1949 a very high-level penetration of the Communist Party was also turned over to the subject, who wasJ. C. KINGWH/III/Costa RicaR. N. DAHLGRENDESENSITIZEDSECRET201-168771
