# SECRET/KAPOK OPLA 25554. On 14 and 15 June RODIJAST again met with S/1 for further debriefings on the latter's contacts in Paris. RODIQAST then briefed him on: KUTUER requirements for BIKE and passed on the requirements at zion forwarded in DIR 18107 and DIR 18675. RODIGAST's reports on these esetinga are also included in Attachment 8 (USC). On 14 June S/1 was passed $500.00 as an advance on his per dies and travel expenses for his next meeting with RODIGAST. RODIGAST considers 5/1 an apt student who learned the S/W system well in some two hours of instruction. Paris KURIOT Officer DONARY noted soma carelessness on S/1's part in the test messages, and this was subsequently brought to $/l's attention in the overall security briefing he received from RODIGAST.5. The communications syuten established with $/1 consists of pre-arranged meeting sites and times, a one-way S/W system, and the use of the classified advertising section of the Algiers El Moud Jahid (received daily in Paris) by 5/1 to signal a postponement of meeting dates. The one-way syston vas chosen for this initial stage of the agent's operational relationship with KUPARK for reasons of security, given the operational climate in Algiers and the specific circles in which 3/1 must cove, and adding to the sudéen political upheaval in Algeria, 3/1 would not be in a position to receive incoming commun-ications safely. As of 23 June 3/1 had initiated S/W correspondence, his initial effort being clearly legible and the content operationally worthwhile. (800 Attachment P).6. The next RODIOAST contact with 8/1 is scheduled for 15 July in Romo. (Sea OFLA 2538 for LCPIPIT's request for Rome Station support.) In view of the events that have just taken place in Algeria the seeting may well be concerned as much with rethinking 3/1's operational objectives for the period following 16 July as with debriefings, briefings, and passage of funda. Even though latest indications are that Barding II will prcosed as scheduled, it is questionable whether the AAJA or the Afro-Asian Komen's conference will be held in Algiers this sESIST. Moreover, there is no assurance at this writing that MEMINCE will not be either postponed, canceled, or moved elsewhere. Add to this the possibility that LDEN A might be on the scene profiting from the sudden rise in the political fortunes of his friends, and Algiers suddenly Losss some of its appeal as an area in which to carry out a msaningful test of 5/1's operational capabilities. The next three weeks will tell us much and perhaps allay many of our apprehensions.7. Bevertheless, RODICAST must be prepared to handle a number of eventualities in his 15 July meeting, not the least of these being a possible revision of s/1's mission. The following possible alternatives present them-selves; we ask Readquarters to address its attention to thes and to other developmental targats and to cable recommendations and guidance prior to 13 Julys   A. 8/1 to remain on site, contime his efforts to establish credentials and find a job in Algiers, or elesbere, in the national liberation sovenant, and report on political developments in Algeria.   B. 4/1 to travel to Dar es Salaam to look into the job offer made some tins ago by Dennis PROGEAR.   C. 8/1 to proceed to Brussels to continue development of IDEN B (ase OFTA 2541).   D. 8/1 to return to London to write up reports and operational proposals and polish up the translation of IDEM B's book.   E. 3/1 to follow the KEPOKE caravan wherever it may lead (perhaps Bofia?) and continue to lock for job leads (outside the flos).
