rarely beon a minute or two late, and in recent meetings--presumablybecause he feels that Rodigast's never-failing appearance on theprecise second of the meeting must mean that this is required KUBARKpractice-- he has been even more precice. Rodigast is always readywith a suggested solution to a security or other problem which will befaced by Q in carrying out a new assignment.On the other hand, part of Q's satisfaction with KUBARK mightderive from a feeling that KUBARK is a "soft touch". Rodigast doesnot recomend that anything be done to change Q's opinion (if he reallydoes hold it); Rodigast feels that we are going to pay Q as much whetherhe likes us or doesn't, and for the same money we might as well makesure he likes us and will do his utmost for the organization ratherthan simply be a timeserver keeping up appearances. If given causefor resentment, his behavior is unpredictable, For he hasn't much tolose-- reputation for loyalty, good name, etc. One solution would beto give him enough so that he would indeed stand to lose much.Q appears to possess a realitsic, sane view of ODI, whatits people are like, what can and can't be done by it. As alreadyindicated, he seems to be as loyal a FBPRCER as other people who don'tgive much thought to the matter, certainly a lot more loyal than hisbackground would lead one to expect. In any case, we have norecent evidence to contradict his statement that he considers himselfto be a loyal PBPRIDER; it may just be true. If it isn't, this won'tmake any difference to the project as it is understood by Rodigast.Q is unlikely to hold sympathetic feelings for CDEMY, havinghad what he described as an unfortunate experience or two with thea.On the other hand, he is sophisticated enough to assume that hisreporting on PBPRERS is of concern to ODLY, and he must knowthat his own suggestion for tdy in PBPRIE to contact targetinstititions and old friends there would put him into ODENVY territory.He would probably accept any necessary collaboration without showingthat he didn't like it.E. Rodigast does not believe Q is at present working for anotherservice, but it is difficult to know what would happen if anotherservice approached him. Rodigast assumes he would report this to us,just as he reported in detail the overtures by two persons apparentlyworking with the services of the country in which he resides. As partof the present operation involves the possibility that Q will in factbe approached by the opposition, and Q is aware of this, one assumeshe is prepared to remain loyal to KUBARK; one would also assume he wouldrecognize the heightened value of his services to us should he beapproached by the other side and continue to remain loyal to us.Q certainly would not agree to work for an opposition servicefor peanuts, but if offered a considerable sum of money (given thathe just breaks even in his present arrangement with us, in thethinking of Q's wife), there is no telling what he would do. Whenrecruited, Q was told he would get a raise once he got settled "in place"(to $800), and when this promise is kept he will have enough extramoney to begin to pay debts and buy clothing, and thus have moreconcrete evidence of the material advantages of his present arrangement.Rodigast would be very surprised if Q agreed to work for anopposition service not for financial reasons but through ideology.Q likes to live well. He believes in wearing good clothes,staying in good hotels, being able to invite others out for food and
