degree feasible - given his cover and the unwitting informant-type natureof his relationship with his many contacts. QRPHONE/1makes every effort.to overcome this limitation and in this regard a plentiful supply of back-ground information greatly facilitates his elicitation of added detailsfrom his informants. However, this limitation is one which will alwaysbe with us in the case of QRPHONE/1 and it is one which can sometimes beparticularly frustrating. During the past quarter QRPHONE/1 has been thesource of 11 intelligence reports prepared by LCPIPIT/Reports.5. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS LEVIED UPON AGENT FOR ENSUING PERIOD: ORPHONE/1   will make a trip to Italy in late September and early October in order to   survey the situation within the Italian new left/radical sector. This   trip is one which has been requested by Rome Station. (The trip will have   been completed by the time this report is received by licadquarters.)QRPHONE/1's contact with an official of the Eritrean Liberation Front ledto a TDY by AF Division officer Geoffrey B. DRANSTON to brief LCPIPIT onthe ELF and to discuss possible operational exploitation of this contact.QRPHONE/1's trip to the United States has been deferred until spring 1970by which time any possible repercussions from QRPEONY's return will berelatively unlikely.An effort will be made to explore the operational possibilities posed byQRPHONE/1's existing (or potential) contacts within the Arab liberationmovements. Headquarters views on this matter were requested in OEPA-2044.A re-scheduling of QRPHONE/1's trip to Germany has been proposed andHeadquarters and Bonn have been asked for guidance/requirements.6. AGENT'S PERSONAL RESPONSE TO ASSIGNMENTS LEVIED INCLUDING MOTIVATION,   PERSONAL SECURITY, ETC.: QRPHONE/1's response to assignments, like his   performance, continues to be enthusiastic and energetic. The comments   made in previous quarterly reporting regarding his security and motivation   remain valid insofar as RODIGAST and LCPIPIT are able to judge.7. AGENT'S PERSONAL RESPONSE TO CASE OFFICER HANDLING OR CRITIQUE OF HIS   REPORTING TECHNIQUE: QRPHONE/1 has a very pleasant personality and re-   lates easily to others. This is a positive factor in his elicitation of   information from his many contacts and also makes dealing with him a   pleasant and uncomplicated experience. QRPHONE/1 accepts case officer   handling - including direction and criticism well and in a constructive   vein. The same holds true of critique of his reporting. Please see pre-   vious reporting on this subject for added details.8. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS, INCLUDING PROMOTIONS, TRAINING: A new means of   funding QRPHONE/1's salary is now being devised. This has been the subject   of several items of correspondence between Headquarters and LCPIPIT. We   plan to consult with the SGFLAG representative in Bern on this matter.QRPHONE/1 has had some purely overt problems with his Chicago bank (anapparent error in his statement, etc.) He is also being charged very highservice charges for the performance of routine transfers. If he is noťable to resolve his problems with this bank it may be necessary for himto change banks.At LCPIPIT's insistance QRPHONE/1 has begun to invest a portion of hismonthly salary in a reputable Mutual Fund of his choice. This modestinvestment program will enhance his financial security in the event oftermination and/or a rainy day".SECRET
