This revision reflects most of the suggestions made in Reference A.2.  As said in Reference B, QRPHONE/1 does not fall into the category of WOFIRM asset usually handled by LCPIPIT. This fact plus the very stringent security considerations which must apply to this operation dictate that certain procedure be followed in QRPHONE/1's case. Handling of this case has been facilitated by Headquarters' understanding and approval of the need for such care.3.

# REVISED MEMORANDUM OF ORAL COMMITMENT1. ORPHONE/1 collaborates with WOPI?!! as a Field Agent who provides certain services of a confidential nature. He has received a Provisional Operational Approval, dated 23 MAY 66. Financial aspects of his activity are charged to approved Project QRPHONE.2. QRPHONE/l's employment by WOFIRM, which began 1 June 1965, was originally formalized by a Letter of Agreement for a period of three months, replaced by a Memorandum of Oral Commitment dated 1 September 1965. Under this MOC, which remains in effect (as amended) since that date, QRPHONE/1's employment continues on a month-to-month basis. It can be terminated by either party on a 30-day notice.3. QRPHONE/1 receives the following financial entitlements:   a. Compensation so computed as to give QRPHONF/1 a "tax-free" income of $800 per month (this figure effective 1 July 1967).   NOTE: The actual breakdown of QRPHONE/l's finances as carried on WOFIRM's books is $800 monthly salary and $70 per month tax supplement withheld at Headquarters to discharge QRPHONE/1's WOLADY tax obligation. These taxes are remitted through the Covert Tax Committee. This procedure was devised to honor the original "tax free" commitment made at the time of his recruitment and at the same time to fulfill the requirement that all WOLADY citizens pay taxes on funds received from LNFORT.   b. Reimbursement for operational expenses and travel unless these are paid by other sources in which case WOFIRM will offset such outside reimbursement against WOFIRM financial obligations to QRPHONE/1. Since security considerations preclude processing of detailed accountings for miscellaneous operational expenses, and as an added inducement to QRPHONE/1 in connection with his obtaining certain confidential information of interest to WOFIRM, a small operational payment, as authorized by Chief, LCPIPIT will be made to QRPHONE/1 for each day during which he is required to be absent from his home on confidential business.   NOTE: Write-off of the funds passed to QRPHONE/1 is to be effected on the basis of the procedure approved by Chief, LCPIPIT and COS/London, a copy of which is attached. This procedure is authorized in view of the security considerations applicable to QRPHONE/1 and the need to limit the knowledge of this operation within WOMACE.   c. QRPHONE/1 is authorized to receive a non-accountable office allowance of $100 per month.SECRETRIBAT

-2-4. QRPHONE/1 will be compensated by WOFIRM in an amount mutually agreed upon for the relocation of himself and his family to a new residence if such relocation is considered desirable by him and WOFIRM. NOTE: This provision was included in QRPHONE/1's original Letter of Agreement and was retained in this HCC since it may be operationally desirable for QRPHONE/1 to accept employment with a target organization based elsewhere.5. WOFIRM has arranged for a portion of QRPHONE/l's financial entitlements to be funded to him by QRPURE, which has also agreed to repatriate QRPHONE/1 to WOLADY. This has been done for operational reasons to enable QRPHONE/1 to qualify for foreign residence. Should QRPURE be obliged to honor this comnit- ment, WOFIRM will guarantee this QRPURE commitment and will reimburse QRPURE for any costs incurred.6. LCPIPIT is authorized to approve purchase by QRPHONE/1 of certain items of operational equipment which are to be non- accountable and which shall be charged against the operational expense category of approved Project QRPHONE.7. QRPHONE/1 signed a separate Secrecy Agreement (in true name) at the time of his original recruitment. He is aware that its provisions are still in effect.8. QRPHONE/1 is aware that he may be required, from time to time, to undertake an $SGSWIRL.9. QRPHONE/1 is aware of all provisions of the Memorandum of Oral Commitment with the exceptions of paragraph 6, which describes an internal WOFIRM procedure; certain aspects of para- graph 3a--specifically that WOFIRM is paying LNFORT taxes in his behalf; and certain aspects of paragraph 3b--specifically the procedure for write-off of funds since this is an internal WOFIRM procedure.SIGNED: Aaron C LaginestraAaron C.

SECRETMEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: QRPHONE/1 FINANCES1. This memorandum outlines a new procedure which is to be allowed in the handling of the operational costs of field agent ORPHONE/1. This new procedure is being instituted in order to enhance the security and compartmentation of the handling of the administrative aspect of this project and parallels revisions in the handling of operational traffic. The new procedure which is discussed below is in accordance with accepted field procedures.2. Currently QRPHONE/1 receives advances and accounts for these with detailed statements of expenses accompanied by true income receipts, etc. These accountings and the accompanying receipts have been maintained in the LCPIPIT files. This system is to be changed. Henceforth monies for operational expenses are to be given to QRPHONE/1 by his handler (Career Agent Rufus P. RODIGAST) and will be carried on RODIGAST's accountings as operational expenses supported by receipts from QRPHONE/1 acknowledging receipt of the funds. This RODIGAST accounting and the QRPHONE/1 receipt will be used for write-off of the funds against approved project QRPHONE. No detailed accountings and no receipts carrying QRPHONE/1's true name are to be maintained in the LCPIPIT/Admin files.3. It will be the responsibility of Chief, LCPIPIT and the project case officer to ensure that QRPHONE/1 is supplied with the funds necessary for the furtherance of the operation and to ensure that these amounts are carefully controlled to avoid over-payment. In discharging this responsibility the Chief, LCPIPIT may require advances to itemize the various expenses covered by the payments.APPROVED:[Signature]Chief, LCPIPIT1/29/68Date[Signature]Chief of Station, London8 Feb 68DateSECRET

#022256xSEPARATE COVER ATTACHMENT TO:ΟΕΡΑ-892ARREST AND EXPULSION PROM SWITZERLANDBrigue, 20 Jan. 1968.The Milan-Geneva TEE reached the Swiss border at Brigue at about 1030. It was evident that the Border Police were expecting me -- the usual lone civilian inspector of passports was accompanied by a uniformed policeman. I was taken, with baggage, to the station immigration office. My wife went with me, but was apparently not covered by the ban on me. When the official in charge of the office phoned Lausanne and Berne, he was informed that I was to be expelled immediately and that they did not want to interrogate me.Great effort was made by the official in charge of the office to be polite, especially when I made a rather vigorous protest at the expulsion, claiming that I had never been informed of the ban on my entry in Switzerland, said to date from 16 Dec. 1963, and that, in any case, I had visited Switzerland on numerous occasions since 1963 without interference. Moreover, I was a professional journalist accredited to the United Nations and was indeed on my way to Geneva to visit the U.N. Office there, I said. The official seemed somewhat baffled by this, because he had been informed I was en route to Lausanne, but I showed my tickets valid to Geneva. Nevertheless, with the greatest of apologies, I was escorted this time by a plain-clothesman to a train back to Italy at 1130. My wife could have stayed in Switzerland but I asked her to return with me.During my detention, my wife phoned Gilbert Etienne in Lausanne, informing him of the situation, the Associated Press office in Geneva (speaking to a Mr. Atkins) and the U.S. Press Attaché, Frederick Steiner, in Berne. Actually, I had told her to phone as many wire services as possible, but she assumed I also wanted to get the Press Attaché to protest on my behalf. In any case, the shortness of time between trains prevented her from making more calls.When given the attached formal notice of the travel ban by the Swiss official, I refused his request that I sign it and warned that the expulsion was a violation of Swiss agreements concerning the freedom of access to the U.N. Office in Geneva which I fully intended to protest formally and bring to world attention.Later, from Verona, I spoke myself with Gilbert Etienne, who was convinced -- quite correctly, I believe that his phone is tapped and that my arrival was communicated to the Swiss Federal Police through a phone conversation I had with Etienne fromOR COPY

swiss explusion - 2 lastMiian Ja 18 Jan. (My teen reservation was made in lilan, not London.) I also spoke with Atkins of AP in Coneva, who told me he had filed a story after my wife's call about an American Negro Journalist being refused entry into Switzerland. He asked for more background on me, claiming that New York had expressed interest in developments. Atkins believed that I could get the ban listed by protesting to the Swiss Press Attaché in London as a professional newsman. He said he believed Swiss authorities were rather jumpy about "suspicious" individuals entering the country since the large Biafran shipments of Nigerian currency to Zurich earlier in January. Whatever the real reason, although I do resent not being able to talk with Etienne -- I was counting on him to reestablish links with Nils Andersson in Albania and to give me a picture of the altered situation among pro-Chinese Communist parties in Western Europe since the latest split from Jacques Grippa's party in Belgium --, I think the expulsion is a most useful incident to prove that I am indeed a good revolutionary and I intend to exploit it as fully as possible, within reason. That is, no overt diatribes against "how the Man operates in Switzerland," say in the Los Angeles Herald Dispatch, but to inform as many people on the Left as possible of the incident and let them draw their own conclusions.Michael Bakafa/Petros Defta, who was expecting me in Geneva for an interview on 22 Jan. was informed by a wire from Verona that force majeure prevented me from keeping the appointment and that I would be writing him when I returned to London.

# DISPATCHChief of Station: London for LCPIPIT1. We appreciate LAGENTSERPA's effort to combine and bring up to date all commitsments made to CREHONE/1 in a revised MOC, forwarded under REF A. We hope that the following comments, geared to the paragraphs as numbered in the MOC, will help to further streamline the product:a. Para. 1:Please see Reference B, DURAT dispatch.b. Para. 2:As indicated in the REF A covering dispatch, CREHONE/1's initial employment began 1 June 1965, rather than the 1 September 1965 date given in the draft MOC. Since the effective date of his relationship with WOFIRM will one day be the basis for an equitable terminal settlement, or might assume other administrative significance, we suggest that the para- graph be amended to reflect this: "CREHONE/1's employment with WOFIRM which began 1 June 1965, was originally formalized by a Letter of Agreement for a period of three months, replaced by a Memorandum of Oral Commitment dated 1 September 1965. Under this MOC, which remains in effect (as amended) since that date, CREHONE/1's employment continues on a month-to-month basis. It can be terminated by either party on 30-day notice."(continued)Distribution:2 - COS, LCPIPIT1 - COS, London---DISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBER: OEPW-160DATE: 26 OCT 1967, 18 October 1967FILE NUMBER: 200-124-156/2OFFICE: CA/CFOFFICER: Diane L.

COMMUNICATIONSECRETGRPW-169c. Paragraph 16:From talking with R*******N, it would appear that the line of demarcation between OPTIONE/1's meal "salary" and his "non-accountable op" is so vague to him (if indeed he was ever fully aware of it in our own bureaucratic formulation) as to be virtually non-existent. It is equally confusing and often unrecognizable in other administrative paperwork (see: FMF 'C'). The $100 has already been adjudicated taxable and the $70 supplement has been computed as tax due on the $6000 total. We suggest, therefore, in the interest of administrative simplicity, that we convert the total $1000 to salary, and amend the MOC to reflect this.d. Paragraph 3b:A question came up concerning OPTIONE/1's per diem in connection with the three recordings which RODICAST submitted for processing direct at Headquarters. Included were several operational lunches and dinners. OPTIONE/1 indicated he was leaving the computation of per diem due him up to Headquarters (we have allowed for 27 days @ $30 per day). Since regulations state that no one may receive double compensation for any reimbursable expenditure, and OPTIONE/1's per diem by definition is supposed to cover food, etc., we will have to deduct 15% for each meal specifically claimed by him in his detailed accounting (i.e., $3.00 per meal). This will be the subject of separate correspondence when the accounting are processed and we c/c the appropriate amount for credit to OPTIONE/1's account, but we raise it now as we are not certain as to OPTIONE/1's intent or previous practice in this regard. The amount that OPTIONE/1 would be accessed is, of course, not very substantial, but if LORIPIR feels OPTIONE/1 should receive greater financial assistance to further defray his personal as well as operational costs while in travel status, we suggest that this enabling paragraph be amended to permit greater flexibility in the establishment of the per diem amount. Now would be an appropriate time to amend the MOC to give Chief, LORIFIT/ London, the authority to set OPTIONE/1's per diem at "...$20 to $30 per day during periods of authorized travel, amount to be set in advance by Chief, LORIFIR/London." Fifteen per cent will, of course, still need to be deducted from OPTIONE/1's accounting for every meal he correctly claims as an operational expense. As to travel which does not extend overnight, regulations only require that 50% be deducted from his per diem, rather than the 60% which, in effect, the $10.00 represents. We leave it up to you as to which provision you wish included in the final MOC, but in any event we suggest that it be incorporated in the body of the paragraph, rather than set apart as a quotation from another document.2. We have no further comments concerning the remainder of the MOC.3. If you concur with the above suggestions, please resubmit an amended MOC which would also reflect these additional changes. We are sorry not to have been able to meet LORIFIT's 15 October requested deadline, but press of business related to OPPOLADY mission intervened.JULIA R. CONTEVECLASSIFICATIONSECRETPAGE NO.2

14-00000# MEMORANDUM FOR: CCS/NC## SUBJECT:SECRETRYBAT26 September 1967ORPURE/QREBONY/1 Relationship1. This will confirm our conversation of 18 September 1967, in which we discussed QREBONY/1's plan to visit CRPURE some time during the week of 25 September 1967, and you agreed to give CRPURE/2 prior warning of this visit. In accordance with the same conversation CREBONY/1 was briefed that his visit should be mainly a question of touching base with ORPURE, maybe a friendly luncheon with CORPURE/2 -- but that no substantive discussions affecting their ostensible relationship (i.e., amount of money, amount of QREBONY/1 production for ORPURE, etc.) were to take place. You were to brief GRPURE/2 along the same lines, and also to indicate to him that, contrary to our original thinking, we would now like to have QREBONY/1 given a by-line, whenever ORPURE/2 feels he can do so.2. In addition to the above, we would appreciate it if you would take up with QRPURE/2 (and/or ORPURE/1, as appropriate) the possibility of increasing the amount of money funded to CREBONY/1 via ORPURE. As indicated to you, we would like to increase the current $100.00 monthly to $300.00 monthly, but would like your careful examination with QRPURE principal(s) that this amount is not excessive either in terms of their willingness to handle or in terms of ORPURE's ostensible ability to cover.3. Please also mention to CRPURE/2 our desire to have QREBONY/1 open a small office in London, and our thought of perhaps including QRPURE (along with other publications) as a name on the door or on his letterhead. Would QRPURE/2 (or CRPURE/1) have any objections? Would he have any objections if any of the other names are of more radical publications? It would not be operationally feasible or desirable to let him know in advance which these would be, but since bothRYBATSECRETEbony201-306052

SECRETQRPURE's have been briefed carefully as to QREBONY/1's radical aura, presumably they would have a good idea as to the kind of publications these might be.4. For operational reasons, we would prefer that the arrangements indicated in paras 2 and 3 above not be broached until after OREBONY/l's departure from the United States, some time in mid-October. We will advise you of his departure so that you can make the necessary arrangements thereafter at your convenience.DIANE L. CHATELANChief, CA/CFDistribution:Orig. & 1 - Addressce - Attn: J.
