# DISPATCHSFO Chief, WOVIEWFROM COS/London (Support)SUBJECT Chief, LCPIPIT/LondonDTDORIC/Administrative GREBONY/1 Employment AgreementCLASSIFICATIONSECRETPROCESSING ACTIONMARKED FOR DEDEXINGNO RDENING REQUIREDONELY QUALIFIED DESK CAN JAGE CAMICROFILMACTION REQUIRED REFERENCES1.  GREBONY/1 was recruited by WOFACT on 3 June 1965. This recruitment was performed by an officer fron WOMUSE/ICG since GREBONY/1 (then known as STEBONY/1) was viewed as a "double agent" penetration of pro-Chinese communist groups. CREBONY/1 has per- formed well in a difficult and dangerous environment. He is a clandestine agent operating against targets violently anti-WOLADY and of priority interest. The administration of CREDOST/1 requires special care since, by the very nature of his role, he is not typical of the average LCPIPIT asset.2.  CREBONY/1's initial employment was by Letter of Agreement for a period of three months. This letter of Agreement expired 1 September 1965 and was replaced by a Memorandum of Oral Commitment dated the same day. This oral employment agreement remains in effect at this date--sowe two years later-, but has been amended to adjust compensation. Certain inaccuracies in the original MOC have also been corrected subsequent to its preparation. Given the sensitive nature of GREBONY/1's relationship with WOFACT it is sometimes difficult to adapt the operational realities of his situation to the administrative requirements of WOFACT. However, with great understanding at home and in the field, we have reached a very manageable situation.3.  In order to codify the entitlements and procedures applicable to QREBONY/l's employment the undersigned has prepared the attached revision of the HOC padershich CREBONY/1 is employed. It is requested that BS approve this revised MOC and notify LCPIPIT of approval by 15 October.Attachment: HWMOCDistribution:3 - C/WOVIEW w/att HW/1 - COS/London (Support)CROSS REFERENCE TOAARON C.

# SECRET14 September 1967## REVISED MEMORANDUM OF ORAL COMMITMENT(Revised to include all changes and amendments operative as of 14 September 1967)1. QREBONY/1 is employed by WOFACT as an independent contractor for certain services of a confidential nature. He has received an Operational Approval, dated. Financial aspects of his activity are charged to Project QREBONY.2. CREBONY/1's employment under this agreement commenced 1 September 1965 and continues on a month-to-month basis. It can be terminated by either party on 30-day notice.3. OREBONY/1 receives the following financial entitlements:a. Compensation so computed as to give QREBONY/1 a "tax-free" figure of $800 per month (this figure effective 1 July 1967). NOTE: The actual breakdown of OREBONY/1's finances as carried on WOPACT books is $700 monthly salary; $100 non-accountable operational allowance; $70 tax supplement withheld at HQS to discharge QREBONY/1's WOLADY tax obligation. These taxes are remitted through the Covert Tax Committee.b. Reimbursement for operational expenses and travel, unless these are reimbursed by other sources in which case WOPACT will offset such outside reimbursement against WOPACT financial obligations to QREBONY/1. Since security considerations generally preclude the detailed accounting for miscellaneous travel expenses, per diem will be paid at the rate of $20 per day during periods of authorized travel. This per diem authorization was qualified by a personal ruling of Chief of Station, Paris/LCPIPIT dated 12 July 1965:"If subject is absent from his home station on authorized travel for part of one day and returns to his home station the night of the dame day (i.e. if no hotel expense is involved in the sense of overnight accommodations), then he shall be entitled to draw 1/2 of his authorized per diem of $20 per day (i.e. $10)."NOTE: OREBONY/1 has a revolving fund (advance) to assist in meeting operational and travel expenses.SECRET

SECRET- 2 -4. QREBONY/1 will be compensated by WOFACT 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 WOFACT. NOTE: This provision was included in QREBONY/1's original Letter of Agreement and was retained in this MOC since it may be operationally desirable for CREBONY/1 to accept employment with a target organization based elsewhere.5. LCPIPIT is authorized to approve purchase by QREBONY/1 of certain items of operational equipment which are to be non- accountable and which shall be charged against the operational expenses category of the budget attached to the FY 1968 project renewal.6. QREBONY/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.7. QREBONY/1 is aware of all provisions of this Memorandum of Oral Commitment with the exception of paragraph 5, which describes an internal WOFACT procedure, and certain aspects of paragraph 3b, specifically that WOPACT is paying LNPORT taxes in his behalf. NOTE: He was promised tax-free compensation in his original recruitment and we have devised the current procedure to honor this commitment while fulfilling the require- ment that all WOLADY citizens pay taxes on funds received from LNFORT.SIGNED:AARON C.

LCPIPIT is revising the QREBONY Project files--which have been rather haphazardly maintained over the past year or so (much of this time the project was without a case officer). In our attempts to locate basic project documents we have been unable to find any copy of the provisions of the Operational Approval applicable to QREBONY/1. We do have a copy of the Provisional Approval granted 23 May 1966 forwarded with OFLW 1591, 7 July 1966. Possibly the relevant document was destroyed during the reduction of files attendant upon the LCPIPIT move, or possibly it was inadvertantly not forwarded to LCPIPIT. At any rate we will appreciate being sent a copy.2.

# CONTINUING BRITISH IMMIGRATION PROBLEMReturning to London from Stockholm on 10 July, I was again queried by British immigration about my failure to register as a permanent resident. My excuse has always been that I did in fact go to the Home Office, but no action was ever taken because I rarely remained in the country more than a month. However, this tale is wearing thin and I fear that I may have much more serious trouble in the near future.It would seem to me that the best solution might be to become the official London correspondent of KPI or any other outfit that might have me. I would need a letter to that effect and would require a notional salary of about $5,000 per year, I believe, but even this might raise questions from the British Inland Revenue.Some advice on this problem would be appreciated.* Must be at least £ 1000 yearly.![scribbled text indicating 'Q/ 201 file']![text indicating 'TPI# 072269 15/8/67']

# NYT. 16 JULY 67## NEGRO, IN PEKING, ACCUSES CUBANS*Vicious Smear* of China in *'Forged' Letter Charged*Robert F. Williams, an American Negro who is now a black rationalist spokesman in Peking, has charged that the Cuban regime of Premier Fidel Castro has counterfeited a newsletter he puts out and used the bogus periodical for "a vicious smear attack" on Communist China.In the May issue of the newsletter, The Crusader, which has arrived here, Mr. Williams asserted that the "forged" version "carries a metered postmark that is available only for Cuban Government bulk mailing." He charged that the newsletter was put out by "the Cuban G-2", which he said was heavily infiltrated by the United States Central Intelligence Agency.Mr. Williams left his home in Monroe, N. C., in 1951 and went to Cuba, where he advocated a "freedom struggle".Negroes in the United States. He left Cuba last year.Another American Negro nationalist, Richard Gibson, in a current newsletter from London, describes Mr. Williams as "chairman-in-exile of the All-Black Revolutionary Action Movement (BAM) in the United States." Sixteen persons, who were said to be members of the revolutionary movement, were arrested in Queens last month on charges of having plotted to murder moderate Negro civil rights leaders.The Crusader that Mr. Williams contended was mailed from Havana last month, has a headline, "China Betrays The Cuban Revolution," and has Mr. Williams saying that he was "deceived by the soft lies and subtle flattery of Chinese Communist leaders. It goes on to say that Mao Tse-tung was now "old and sick and can no longer control his arrogant, power-mad underlings who, although acting in his name, have abandoned the people's revolution."Mr. Williams' current Peking newsletter asserted that "Afro-Americans should refuse to fight" in Vietnam. But it added that "those who are trapped into it" could "work among the troops to educate them to the true facts of life."As advice to Negroes at home, the newsletter said:"Revolutionaries must play it in a cool. Infiltrate the police and the master infiltrators, the C.I.A. We must learn to subvert him at his own expense while using his facilities to advance the cause of Black liberation."On Monday, Workers World, a weekly here with a Trotskyist tendency, announced that it had obtained a statement from Mr. Williams denouncing the alleged murder plot here as a "frame-up.""It is not my policy nor RAM's to kill condescending Uncle Toms," the statement said. "We are not an organization advocating pointless assassinations. We are dedicated freedom-fighters stressing Chinese armed self-defense. Our objective is to make America a just and decent place to live."

We now have JAGUAR's comments on the proposed “roup" designed to allow RFBONY to expand his access by "representing" something even if only a purely notional group. The letter from JAGUAR is attiched.2. We would observe that JaGUa's comments are obviously made in a constructive vein. Similarly, J.GL/R seems to tate a protective, almost proprietary interest in considerations affecting the EBONY project. We naturally welcome this fcel- ing on their port, since CREBONY continues to exist as : U..- based operation at their pleasure. and we think that J.GUR'S comments are sound, in substance. Their final comment : 150 veils, to say the least, the understandable SEORANGE reluctance to sce yet another splinter group-spevning, with the fright- ful political implications if a FCLODY spy were exposed cale running a phoney "pro-Chinese" group in the U.K.: (It would probably be not too good in OLY, for that matter, Lut: government could fall here as a result.)3. Ve Lave now had an opportunity to talk this over with CILIBERTI, LAGINESTRA and RODIGAST, sud all are agreed the t CREBONY's trial balloon will not be re-floated. De thi TO baru is done. If JAGUAR should come into possession on copy of REEONY's letter, and ask us about it, we will acknowledge that he wrote it to try out on a limited number of friends and aimed at his Swedish audience, preliminary to (he hopcc) 1.00 BILLIANS' arrival in Sweden. Fe are now serely replying to JAGUAR that we are grateful for their cogent comments, and that "the group" will not be activated unless there is a significant change in the (REBONY operational situation such as to recuire "the group" to be crested, in which case we will again seek their concurrence.Attachment: h/wLetter - is statedDistribution:CROSS REFERENCE 10-C/LOVA, w/att3-C/EUR, w/att2-C/LCPIPIT, w/att.Arthur T.
