HUMANOID, is an American citizen, was born in 1922 in Dekalb,Illinois. He joined the United States Air Force in April 1945 andspent approximately five years doing general Air Force intelligencevork. Subject is presently living in San Jose, Costa Rica where hehas been attending school, and since June 1949, when project EUMANOIDvas first activated, subject has been the most valuable single agent"of the San Jose Station.5. Cover: Subject is established in Costa Rica on a purely persona..   basie, with no apparent connection with the San Jose station. He is a home   owner, married, and is a fully accepted member of the community on that basis.   Subjects activities in connection with HUMANOID-3 will be handled through   safe house facilities to be acquired by the station. It is felt that the   processing of the material acquirei from HUMANOID-1 & 2, can be done in the   office of the Chief of Station, because of the small quantity of this type   of caterial. The cut-out and direction activities of HUMANCE-4, will be   handled by HUNAROID in periodic meetings in cafes, bars, or coffee shops,   logical meeting places in San Jose.6. Contact and communications: Contact between HUMANOID and other   personnel involved in this Project is described above under Cover.7. Control: The control of HUMANOID-is-based-upon-his-past-service   record with the US Government, demonstrated loyalty, and the judgment-of-the-   present and forcer station chiefs in San Jose. In addition HUTANGID is a   US citizen, and needs the financial assistance he receives for the performance   of his duties.8. Special Equipment: Bo special equipment is involved.9. Coordination: This Project vas originally initiated with the   cooperation of the Panama Station. Continued coordination-with Panasa, or any   other_station_is_not_considered_necessary or desirabie.SECRET

In other cases, it is eye-witness, high level, and of considerable value.OTHER FACTORSCurrent operational restrictions on this agent presently prevent full exploitation of his potential.COMMENTSDue to financial pressure, explained in TRSA-1142, HUMANOID has recently undertaken a part time job at the School of Agronomy. His work deals with laboratory and dark room photographic assignments and is connected with a Costa Rican Government project in Ceology. Subject is the most valuable agent available to this station and is believed capable of further develop-ti ment in the event current operational restrictions are removed. He is conscient ious, hard working, loyal, imaginative, and amenable to supervision. In view of his interest in a long range career, a reply to the question posed in TRSA-1142 concerning career agent status would be appreciated. Subject has been aware of the recommended salary increase which has been _pending_for_over_ten_months. Although_he has not questioned the delay, it is obvious that his self-confidence and professional pride have been shaken somewhat by the lack of official recognition. We feel strongly that agent has earned a raise and that an increase at this time is not only justified but would be in the best interests of our present and future operations.

A raise in salary is believed Justified and is recommended below.EVALUATION OF SERVICES: Services of this agent are extremely valuable. As the principal cutout of this station he is charged with the direction and guidance of the most productive sub-agents we have at the present time. His handling of these arents is carried out in a professional and efficient manner, and his personal comments and corrections on their reports, based on his long acquaintance with local personalities and conditions, are of considerable value. Ilis attitude remains enthusiastic and willing.EVALUATION OF INFORMATION: The information produced by the agents handled by subject is probably the most valuable being obtained by this station. In addition to routine procuction, this agent's operations are well-suited to checking on information reccived from other sources.OTHER FACTORS: Subject is presently seeking another safehouse to serve as a meeting place with subagents and for the processing of material produced by HUMANKIND-1 and 3. The photographic studio previously-used-as-a-safehouse-has been given up as explained in TRSA-1084.COMMENTS: Despite the fact this agent has been working under certain operational restrictions for a number of months, his value to this station continues to be of major importance. In addition to the tangible and measurable information produced-through-hin-in-the-form-of-reportable material, EULANCID_has_proved_the_single_most valuable source of background and orientation data for the Chief of Station.

SECURITY INFORMATION# SECRETTRSA-1142COMMENTS (Con'd) activities and personalities and his grasp of the various revolutionary movements and figures has been freely shared with the Station Chief. These *briefing: meetings* represent an intangible contribution to the over-all performance of this Station. Subject is eager to expand his operations, and, if headquarters approves the removal of present operational restrictions, it is believed he can be given further responsibilities, particularly in the recruiting of additional sub-agents. This Station is presently interested in accomplishing a parallel penetration of the Communist Party, in expanding routine investigative coverage, and in developing additional sources on political movements. It is believed that subject has potential in each of these fields. However, as reported previously, HUMANOID is beset with financial problems which undoubtedly detract from his full working efficiency on matters of interest to us. His GI subsistence is currently terminated during the school vacations and a certain portion of his time is devoted to odd jobs in an effort to augment his income. The former Chief of Station recommended an increase from 1,000 to 1,500 colones in July, 1951, a recommendation in which the writer concurred. However, in the event current operational restrictions are removed, it is desired to recommend at this time an increase to sixteen hundred (1,600) colones per month. The additional one hundred colones permonth is suggested in view of the fact that subject has borrowed money in recent months to meet hospital bills, and because he has been aware of and probably counted on the raise recommendation of the former Chief of Station. Further, if the restrictions are lifted, it is desired to utilize subject's time to the fullest advantage without the handicap of his having to seek other outside employment.In an effort to evaluate more accurately subject's agent-handling ability, the writer monitored a specially arranged 45-minute contact between HUMANCID and HUIANIST-2. From a concealed vantare point less than three feet from the participants, the writer was able to hear and see HUMANOID's handling of this sub-agent. The results were worth the effort. HUDANOID demonstrated complete control over the discussion, *exhibited_a_natural_ability_to_elicit desired details*, and issued instructions in a commendable manner. It appeared that subject=has the complete confidence_and loyalty of HUFANIST-2 and that his working relationship with this important sub-agent leaves nothing to be desired.SECURITY INFORMATION# SECRET

VAIVADA was trained covertly by instructors of this   office in Washington, D. C. from 5 October through 25 November 1953.   The original Training Request Form dated 31 August 1953 reveals the   following pertinent information:"Subject is thirty-one years of age, married, and a U. S.citizen by birth. VAIVADA's previous intelligence experienceincludes eight years with the U. S. Air Force. During thistime he served as an intelligence specialist in the Panamaand Burma-India Theaters. In 1949 he was employed by CIAand spent most of the following four years in Costa Ricawhere he was engaged in the spotting, recruiting, and handlingof agents. Although subject has never lived in his proposedarea of operations, he possesses a fluent command of theSpanish language. VAIVADA's future assignment, under contractagent status, will be that of principal agent with the primaryobjective to develop information on the Communist Party inArgentina. He will also be expected to penetrate or directthe penetration of the Argentine Communist Party."2. The instructors who participated in Subject's training indicate   they were most favorably impressed with VAIVADA and feel that he is   qualified for his proposed mission. He possesses a sound practical   knowledge of basic clandestine operational principles. He should   become an increasingly valuable agent in the long range work of this   organization.3. VAIVADA received instruction in the subjects set forth on the   attached Training Evaluation Reports. The following supplementary   reading and discussion material were also covered.Introduction to Clandestine OperationsGlossary of TermsLearning How to InterviewGeneral Principles of Intelligence InterrogationSECRET
