SECRETHRHL-4-2092Page Twostaff status, at Crate CS-11. It is felt that the career status provides most, if not all, of the benefits sought for VAIVADA in HRH-4-2577. It will now be unnecessary, moreover, for Mr. VAIVADA to acquire U.S. citizenship, although Headquarters stands ready to facilitate acquisition of same if the VAIVADA so desire.4. Should there be any objection, on the part of the Station at VAIVADA, to this latest proposal, Headquarters would appreciate an early indication to that effect, in order that other arrangements might be made. It would appear at this time, however, that the proposed career status is the most favorable that VAIVADA could expect.5 February 1957Distribution:3 - Habana1 - RI1 - WH/Mailroom1 - WH/III/Cuba/Chrono1 - SubjectWH/III/Cuba/JENoland/jt![Signature of J.

30 January 1957MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, FISUBJECT: Request for Conversion of Arthur G. VAIVADA from Contract to Career Agent StatusREFERENCE: HKH-A-25771. Referenced dispatch from the field recommends the conversion of contract agent Arthur G. VAIVADA to staff status and presents a strong case for such conversion. Upon receiving a formal WHD request for such action, however, your Plans Staff suggested that career agent status would be more appropriate in this case, and further indicated that staff status for VAIVADA is virtually out of the question at this time. The request is being re-submitted, therefore, in revised form to provide for conversion to career rather than staff status.2. VAIVADA has served CIA in a contract capacity since 1949, with a continuous high level of performance; first in Costa Rica, later in Guatemala and Cuba. He is currently assigned to Cube and is expected to remain there indefinitely. VAIVADA 1s 34 years old and was promoted recently to the equivalent of a GS-10 rating. His expressed career interests lie in continued employment by CIA, more especially in the area of unofficial cover assignments, for which he is highly suited.3. In view of VAIVADA's outstanding record as a contract agent, his strong overall qualifications, and his expressed desire for a career with CIA, it is recommended that he be granted career agent status. A PHS and a new contract check list (in duplicate) are attached.4. WH Division contemplates bringing VAIVADA to the U.S. for covert training during the latter part of 1957.5. Approval for the conversion of VAIVADA from contract to career agent status, as indicated above, is hereby requested.J. C.

# SECRETSecurity InformationMEMORANDUM TO: PLANSFROM: WHDSUBJECT: Project HINANOIDProject HUMANOID is the most important single project of the San Jose Station, and the basis for all existing and contemplated 050 activities in the area. It is requested that the restrictions imposed upon project HUMANOID, as contained in TRS-W-635, copy attached, be lifted at this time, and the Chief of Station be authorized to direct the activities of HUMANOID into the following channels.(a) Direct and close supervision of HUMANOID-3, the Station's penetration of the Vanguardia Popular, Costa Rican Cocmunist Party, in order to utilise fully the agents potentialities. HUMANOID-3 is intelligent, has a wide knowledge of Communist activities, pleas and personalities and is desirous of cooperating to the extent on his ability. After a thorough de-briefing of HUMAFOLD-3 by HUMANOID, in order to ac uaint him, HUMANOID-3 with the Station's specific Interests and requirements, plus the subsequent close supervision which will be exercised by HUMANOID, and the continuing close supervision of EUMANOID-3 by HUMANOID, it is felt that the station will then be in a position to provide intensive and adequate coverage of the objectives assigned to it in the San Jose SCI.(b) Direct and close supervision of HUMANOID-4, the Station's penetration of the Women's Fronts affiliated with the Vanguardia Popular. It is felt that the forcer cut-out HUCKLEBONE, who handled HUMANOID until 1 June 1949, vas somewhat inept in his operational dealings, which possibly may account for what seems to be a lack of productivity in the HUMANOID- project. HUKARCID-4 has an intimate relationship with active CP members in Costa Rica, both on a lov and high level, and possesses a definite potential for both indepenient reporting, and for spotting a likely individual to be used as a parallel to the HUMANOID-3 project. HUMANOID, who will now handle HUMANOID-4, is capable of directing this agents efforts into the proper channels, and capitalizing fully on the talents possessed by the individual. It is felt that this is another instance whereby HUHAHOID, by working closely and directly with the individual can make a substantial contribution to the efforts of the San Jose Station.(c) Direct and close supervision of HUFANOID-1 and HUMANOID-2, the mail intercept operations presently covering the General Post Office in San Jose. The information that HUMANOID-1 has access to is important and is of documentary reliability. His position is inportant to the operational structure of the station.SEGRET201-168881

SECRETSecurity-2-a very satisfactory type of agent. He displays a certain amountof initiative in voluntarily performing tasks not specificallyrequested by the Chief of Station through the cut-out HUMANOID.HUMANOID-2 has demonstrated the qualities of willingness, discretion,.and cooperation.(4) As to the principal agent of Project HUMANOID, thefollowing observations are submitted, which will indicateunmistakeably the value of this project, and its contributionto the successful activities of the San Jose Station.Evaluation of services - As the principal agentand station cut-out, HUMANOID is charged with the directionand guidance of HUMANOID-1; HUMANOID-2; HUMANOID-3;HUMANOID-4. His handling of these agents is carried out ina professional and efficient manner, and his personal commentsand corrections on their reports, based on his long acquaintancewith local personalities and conditions, are of considerablevalue. His attitude remains enthusiastic and willing.Evaluation of information - The information producedby the agents being handled by HUMANOID is of great valueto the station. In addition to his own production, thisagento operations are well suited to checking on informationreceived from other sources.COMMENTS - Despite the fact that HUMANOID has been working undercertain operational restrictions for a number of months, his valve to thestation continues to be of major importance. In addition to the tangibleand measurable information produced by and through him, HUMANOID hasproved to be the single most valuable source of background and orientationdata for the Chief of Station. His knowledge of the history of CostaRican communist activities and personalities, and his grasp of the variousrevolutionary movements and figures has been freely shared with theChief of Station. These "briefing meetings" represent an intangiblecontribution to the over-all performance of the Station. HUMANOID 18.eager to expand his operations and upon the removal of present operationalrestrictions it is believed that he can be given further responsibilities,particularly in the recruiting of additional sub-agents. The station ispresently interested in accomplishing a parallel penetration of theCommist Party of Costa Rica, in expanding routine investigative coverageand in developing additional sources on political movements. It isbelieved that HUMANOID can insure the success of these new ventures.SECRET
