# DISPATCHCOS, LondonC/LCPIPITChief, AP via Chief, EURJAGUAR Reporting on African Expatriates in LondonREFERENCES:a. OBLW-25,380 (26 Feb 70)b. OELA-53,167 (24 Dec 70)c. DIRECTOR 063010 (27 Aug 70)d. OEPA 3090 (18 Jan 70)1. For over a year ZIBET personnel have sought to stimulate more SMORANGE reporting on the activities of certain high level African expatriates in London. Up to now the results have been meager and discouraging, and in addition JAGUAR gained JKLANCE's agreement that QRPHONE/1 should desist from pursuing these London targets.2. Perhaps stemming from the recent visit of SMOVID to Headquarters, however, we have just received an informative and useful report, prepared by JAGUAR, on Osumba Langi, the principal radical Kenyan expatriate in London, along with promises of other studies on targets mentioned during the Headquarters discussions. This is possibly a hopeful note for the future.3. Prior to this development, JKLANCE had received only one report from JAGUAR in response to various appeals and the submission of requirements. That report, received in December 1970 was in response to Headquarters-supplied requirements forwarded the previous February (and resubmitted in August 1970), but contained very little positive information. Furthermore, the report's format and tone suggested that JAGUAR'S reply was intended as a one-time affair. It certainly did not invite further questions nor indicate an intention to volunteer further details later.4. In reviewing the correspondence on this matter, it was noted that the verbatim minutes of February 1970 Headquarters discussions with SMENCE and SMUMBRAGE contained a passage that may cast new light on JAGUAR's position. In response to ZIBET officers' queries about what JKLANCE could expect from JAGUAR (it previously having been made clear by the SMOTH officers that the target was JAGUAR's), the visiting SMOTH officers said of JAGUAR's position: "They have a suitcaser top."200-124-156/3OBLW-2605911-2-24SECRET11-2-24Distribution: 1 - C/CA1 - EUR/B1 - AF/OPS1 - RI/D&PDDP/AF/OPS/FID/Zimmermanaeo5564C/CA, 8-3EUR/BCAC/AF/4DISPATCH30 mar 71

# SECRETAGENT EVALUATIONNAME: QRPHONE/1DATE: 18 January 1971PROJECT: QRPHONESTATUS: Contract Agent (Under a Memerardum of Oral Agreement)OVERT JOB DESCRIPTION: International correspondent for "Sunday supplement" type color magazine distributed by twenty major newspapers in the U.S. Also represents owner of this color magazine in other of his business ventures in Europe. This overt job was assumed in December 1970. Prior to that, Q/1 was the London representative of small U.S. news service. Q/1 does free lance journalism and is an occasional contributor to several magazines and newspapers.COVERT JOB DESCRIPTION: Singleton agent targeted at the radical left, including Maoist, African liberation, and Palestinian groups. Q/1's access derives from his many contacts in these circles.PERFORMANCE OF COVERT DUTIES: Q/1 continues to perform well and without posing problems for his handler. His personality is easy-going and his attitude positive. If his efforts are not always totally successful -- leaving us with tantalizing bits of information and many unanswered questions -- this is generally due to operational circumstances in which he was simply unable to elicit more information on a given subject.PERFORMANCE OF OVERT DUTIES: Q/1 does a solid and workmanlike job as a journalist. He has acquitted himself well both as a representative of his cover firm and in his free lance activity. Occasional prompting on this subject produces added effort and in this connection the operation profits particularly from the energy and knowledge of the deep-cover agent handler who himself has faced similar cover demands over many years.ATTITUDE TOWARD JKLANCE: QRPHONE/1's attitude is positive. (See below under Motivation.)ATTITUDE TOWARD COVER EMPLOYER: Q/l's attitude is good. He has made an effort to discharge his part of the cover arrangement and to understand the weaknesses and problems which plagued his former cover organization. He is approaching his new cover arrangement with enthusiasm.MOTIVATION IN ACCEPTING JKLANCE RELATIONSHIP: This is a subject on which a good deal has beensaid over the course of this operation. The following points can be made on the subject of Q/l's motivation:A. His basic image of JKLANCE is positive.SECRET
[104-10217-10225.pdf — page 94]
B. This image of JKLANCE as a powerful, professional organization has been enhanced in Q/l's case by the circumstances of his agent relationship, which require very professional handling. Indeed Q/1 has probably come to hold a rather glamorous "storybook" image of JKLANCE and of the importance of his contribution to the JKLANCE effort. This is a very human trait and should not be exaggerated in his case, but every one of the wild anti- JKLANCE stories which he heard probably only serves to accentuate the feeling on his part of being a member of a very impressive outfit.C. In his political evolution over the years, Q/1 has become active in at least two "causes". In both instances he saw these causes undermined by petty jealousy and factional struggles and in both cases he was personally harmed as a result. The product of this situation has been a certain disillusionment with "causes" and a cynical political outlook. (In other circumstances this might be called political maturity.) Q/1 now tends to view political trends as a detached observer rather than a participant.D. Following on the foregoing thought is the fact that he is an American (and does not consider himself disloyal). Given his citizenship and his disinclination to feel "involved" in the currents of the radical left, he has been perfectly willing to accept employment by JKLANCE to report on those currents. He does not give any indication that he views this as "squealing" on his friends -- indeed the contrary seems to be the case.E. On a more mundane level, it must be realized that Q/1 was recruited at a time when he was in serious financial straits. He was without a job and was living off the charity of his wife's family. JKLANCE has given him a job, paid him reasonably well and regularly, and has enabled him to be independent of his wife's family's charity.F. Having accepted JKLANCE employment for a combination of the reasons set forth above, it must be added that Q/1 clearly likes his work. He enjoys dealing with international issues and political subjects. He enjoys the travel and the opportunity to exercise his language capability. In short, the rather sophisticated and cosmopolitan life which he has been able to live appeals to him.G. In assessing the relative importance of these several factors which make up Q/1's motivation, the under- signed would stress that C and E were probably the immediate causes of his acceptance of recruitment while A and D were more underlying. Band F have arisen since recruitment and probably play an important role in his current motivation.

# SECRETWIFE'S ATTITUDE TOWARD JKLANCE: Q/l's wife is not witting of hisJKLANCE affiliation. She was allowed to believe that he wasworking indirectly for the Chinese. She certainly is awareof the past JKLANCE accusations which have been leveled atQ/1, but as far as 1 can determine (and this is not a subjecton which he can come right out and ask a direct question) shecontinues to accept the Chinese story. It should be addedthat Mrs. Q/1 is British and is the holder of some rathertypical "left" anti-JKLANCE attitudes. It should also be notedthat the relationship between the two is fraught with a varietyof problems thereby adding to the complexity of the situation.Certainly the whole subject of Q/l's activities is one whichMrs. Q/1 views with misgivings and which is simply not discussedlest it lead to acrimony. Mention should also be made thatMrs. Q/1 seems to accept as legitimate the small amount ofmoney received from Q/l's cover and to regard this as a genuinestringer relationship.RESPONSE TO CASE OFFICER HANDLING: QRPHONE/1 has a very pleasantpersonality and responds well to Case Officer handling. He isa most willing asset requiring no special handling care -- otherthan the normal professionalism expected in the handling of asensitive asset such as Q/1.WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT INSTRUCTIONS OR GUIDANCE: Q/1 is willing toaccept guidance and criticism -- provided it is constructive.If anything, he may sometimes be too willing. His willingnessoccasionally exceeds his sense of security and it then fallsto his handler to bear in mind security and/or operationalconsiderations which may affect his pursuit of a given target.However, this should not be over dramatized.RESPONSIVENESS: Q/1 is most responsive to requirements levied uponhim. In this connection it should be recalled that his abilityto respond fully is usually restricted by the nature of hisrelationship with his informants; i.e., since he is only elicitingthe information from unwitting informants he is rarely able topress for all the desired details.JKLANCE CONTROL: Q/1 is dependent upon a JKLANCE salary and he hassigned recruitment documents and a security pledge. We hastento add that Q/1 is not a handling problem and there has neverbeen any instance in which either he or his handler has hadoccasion to allude to these control factors.PERSONAL SECURITY: Q/1 has a good sense of personal security and hishandler makes an effort to build upon this at every opportunity.As cited above, Q/l's enthusiasm sometimes leads to his failureto consider all aspects and implications of a given situation.-3-SECRET
[104-10217-10225.pdf — page 96]
OTHER SECURITY AND COVER SITUATIONS: The past allegations of Q/l's affiliation with JKLANCE, many pre-dating his actual recruitment, add an extra dimension to Q/l's cover situation. We have no indication that any of these allegations are based on any proof, nor have they produced a significant reduction in his number of contacts.ABILITY TO WORK WITHOUT SUPERVISION: Q/l is a self-starter and can work well for extended periods without supervision.ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS: Q/1 poses only a minimum administrative burden. He is not overly concerned about his administrative and financial position, allowances, payments, etc. He merely expects JKLANCE to do the fair thing by him. However, on the rare occasion when JKLANCE has failed to perform as he expected, he can be very upset.REPORTING: Q/1 is a journalist by training. He is an effective reporter -- both in terms of ability to elicit and writing style.PERSONAL ENERGY AND ENDURANCE: Q/1 is quite energetic and can continue his efforts on a sustained basis.LANGUAGES: In addition to his (native) English, Q/1 can speak French, Italian and German.WILLINGNESS TO TRAVEL: Q/1 is quite willing to travel and even enjoys it!AREA KNOWLEDGE: Q/1 is quite widely travelled in Europe and Africa and consequently has acquitted an extensive area knowledge.ADMINISTRATIVE AND FINANCIAL ABILITY: Q/l's present operating context does not provide an adequate basis to evaluate these talents. It is assumed that he has a satisfactory competence in both these areas, however.WEAKNESSES; PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL: Q/1 has no major weaknesses, either personal or professional which inhibit his operational use. The existence of his "reputation" as a JKLANCE asset which is believed by some and rejected by others of his contacts is a definite limitation on his employment.CAREER POSSIBILITIES: Q/1 has mentioned to his handler that he hopes to be able to make a career of his relationship with JKLANCE. He enjoys the work and presumably the financial security. However,
[104-10217-10225.pdf — page 97]
the combination of the security factors operative in this case and the unlikelihood of Q/l's continued access to targets of interest over a prolonged period argue against his being regarded as a career asset.![signature of Aaron C. Laginestra]AARON C. LAGINESTRAFIELD CASE OFFICERCOMMENTS OF SUPERVISOR: This is another thoughtful evaluation of this agent, and reflects the views of the agent handler as well as of the Case Officer.I doubt that we have really divined Q/l's motivations for working with JKLANCE, and this evaluation should be read as the best stab we can make at this enigmatic subject.ADRIAN B.

# SECRET19 October 1970MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Chief, Covert Action StaffATTENTION: Miss Diane ChatelanSUBJECT: Completion of Training Report for ORPHONE/1 (P), Training Alias: PERSHINGREFERERICE: Memorandum for Director of Training dated 28 September 1970, Attention: Chief, Covert Training/CS/TR, Subject: Covert Training for CRPHONE/1, From: Deputy Chief, Covert Action Staff1. CRPHONE/1 was trained covertly in New York on 14, 15, 16 October 1970. There were twelve hours of training in the three sessions.2. In accordance with the reference training request and discussions between the instructor and the two Case Officers, QRPHONE/1 was given a concentrated dosage of reporting instruction with emphasis on spotting and assessment reports.3. QRPHONE/1 is a professional writer, so there was no problem in the writing department. The need was for channelling the writing capabilities of this man who has been an Agent for five years, into our type of reporting and to end his "stream of consciousness" style of reporting, as one Case Officer put it.4. GRPHONE/1 quite quickly got into the spirit of the training and by the end of the first session was obviously enjoying it and appreciating the opportunity to learn to write our way. He pointed out that his big problem is having to retain substantial amounts of information in his head for two or three weeks, then put it all down the night before he meets his Case Officer. From his conversation, it appeared that organizing a report had never occurred to him before and he several times said "no one ever told me about this", "this is the first I've learned of this, etc." These things were said in happiness at having discovered ways of improving his reporting and simultaneously making his reporting less of a chore and more of a joy.# SECRET> [Figure: Stamp with text "GRC: 1, Exhibit from Interrogation, regarding ad hoc investigation"]

SECRET-2-5. In organizing a report exercise, he did extremely well. In exercises separating fact from inference, he did only fairly well, considering his background and compared to trainees with no where near his experience or education. He has a slight tendency toward jumping to conclusions and reading meanings into words. He realized this and from then on he overcame this weakness to a considerable degree. However, even on the last day, writing reports based on New York Times newspaper articles, he twice (out of five reports) substituted his own word for a word in the article for no valid reason and which new word in fact changed the meaning of the sentence, though only slightly.6. This small weakness is not unique to QRPHC3/1. It is also true of other equally highly literate trainees, who, like QRPICE/1, unconsciously substitute their own language for that which has been directly given to them, not realizing that they thereby sometimes change this meaning of that which they are reporting. Happily, QAFIONE/1 realized this during the exercises, recognized the changed meaning, and earnestly stated that he will watch it in the future.7. In observation and description exercises, he did well after a rocky start. Here, he at first concentrated on individuals, almost completely ignoring the actions they were engaged in. He soon saw that he has a mental capacity to watch both at once and there was no problem thereafter.8. He was excellent in his ability to separate hard facts and put those in the body of his reports while listing as comments those items which legitimately were comments and which had no place in the report itself.9. For the final session, he had been asked to do assessment reports on two people. He was mortified when he came in on the last morning, happily handed in his five intel reports and suddenly realized that he had completely forgotten to do the other reports. However, in discussing spotting and assessment reports, it appears that he now understands them.10. In an effort to evaluate the effectiveness of the training, we would appreciate a detailed evaluation report in November 1971 from the field station. This report should indicate the extent to which the training has made the trainee a more useful and effective asset and should evaluate the performance in each area of tradecraft in which training was conducted; negative as well as positive comments are solicited. The field station's report should also include the trainee's own comments. Please ask the field station to slug the report WOHOLD/QRFICE/1/PERSHING. Upon receipt of the report at Headquarters, please forward a copy to the undersigned.![signature]Caleo L. BattenDC/OS/ALT/TROriginated by:Aristides G. LazarusSECRET
