# SECRET14 April 1965MEMORANDUM FOR: See DistributionFROM: CA/CF; CI/ICGSUBJECT: Richard Gibson1.  Areas of Knowledgeability. A reading of the transcription of Gibson's taped debriefing clearly underlines KATZENBACH's assessment that Gibson possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of personalities and groups ranging from Zanzibar to the U.S. It is not always clear from the debriefing to what extent Gibson enjoys either a first-hand know-ledge or even a friendly relationship with specific individuals or groups. What is clear is that Gibson moves in a milieu on which we presently have very little coverage; that he is already a member of this loosely defined society and thus can be presumed capable of de-veloping new contacts or strengthening old ones by means of present ad past associations.It is difficult to categorize or devine what this milieu is. It is not the world of communist parties -- although it contains a pre-ponderance of communists; and it does not seem to be a society which necessarily revolves about the Chinese. The primary common denomina-tor covering most of the personalities involved in Gibson's reporting is some association with the revolutionary movement in Africa -- parti-cularly Algeria. A secondary means of characterizing these contacts is a correlation with the radical French and Belgian left which lies out-side such organized party structures as the PSU, PCF, BCP. (His main access to Chinese communists runs through Jacques GRIPPA in Belgium and Nils ANDERSSON in Switzerland with whom he claims to be on good terms at the present time.) Another common thread, almost as general, is asso-ciation with Trotskyism, although the meaning or clarification of this political description is never spelled out. In general, Gibson displays a good and often personal knowledge of target areas which might be grouped as follows:a. African exile revolutionary circles in France, Algeria and London, including the PAC, ANC, MPLA, MPA, and other less organized pockets.b. European leftist sympathizers of the liberation movement in Africa.c. Algerians or Algerian contacts in Europe who were asso-ciated with the var for independence.d. Algerian personalities currently active or occupying official positions in Algiers.# SECRET
[104-10217-10221.pdf — page 103]
# SECRET-2-e. The exile American Negro community.f. Minor political writers and polemicists in exileleftist circles in Europe.## 2. Access and Limitations on Access.There apparently has been circulated a charge that Gibson is a CIA agent. (This is reflected in his 201 as dating from his days with the FPCC.) In dealing with this question, however, KATZENBACH cites Gibson's own belief that he is still able to operate in the circles which would be of interest to us. It is, of course, difficult to tell from his debriefing the extent and seriousness of this charge against Gibson, insofar as it affects his bona fides. It does seen that in Gibson's milieu, gossip, personal attacks, muddled loyalties and an aura of conspiratorial confusion are everyday facts of life and that personal contact and effectiveness in building rapport would far outweigh such critical personal charges -- which, indeed, probably circulate about most people. At the present time, for reasons not entirely clear, Gibson feels that he would be unwelcome and restricted were he to visit Ghana, and, in fact, would not like to make such a trip. He has indicated, on the other hand, that he has friends in Algeria and believes he could probably get some kind of job there or at least find a receptive and generally friendly reception. He also appears to have some contact and standing with the Indonesian government, since he claims their London Embassy offered him employment. It is not known to what extent he might be able to parley such a contact into employment in Djakarta or some form of official association in Europe, although these questions could be explored further. The termination of his association with Revolution and Verges would not, according to his account of it, discredit him in the eyes of those who might have been partisans of the ideological line which this magazine purveyed. According to his account, Verges is not in good standing with the pro-Chinese like Grippa or even the Chinese, and that his (Gibson's) quarrel with Verges over unpaid salary is well known. While this may not be unbiased, it is apparently true that he has lodged a claim for payment against Verges, and thus is not in the position of having been expelled from Revolution for ideological deviation. As Gibson recounts it, it is Verges, not he, who is discredited.## 3. Motivation and Readiness to Cooperate.The debriefing reflects between the lines what KATZENBACH judges in his covering dispatch to be a readiness to collect information for us knowing that we are an official agency and probably suspecting that ve are KUBARK. His professed motivation is monetary, and frankly so, although a certain degree of fatigue with his past profession of ideological punditry is discernable. There are also a number of indications that Gibson would like to rehabilitate himslf lest he be forced to make his living for an indefinite period of time in an environment that he finds both unpleasant and materially un-rewarding. It is not possible, of course, to make an intelligent judgment from this debriefing on the firmness and consistency with which he# SECRET

SECRET- 3 -might undertake continuing assignments for us, but this is not an unusual area of uncertainty with a new agent and one which a probationary period should dispel. (It should be noted that in one instance, he volunteered a name as an operational lead -- 1.e., as someone whom we might find it worthwhile to look up. He also provided what is apparently an accommodation address in Bogota for Chinese mailings.)4. Long-Range Usefulness and Initial Targetting. Gibson's long-range usefulness, of course, would depend not only on his effectiveness and dependability, but on the opportunities which will emerge and take shape as a result of his initial activity. As a general proposition, he can be viewed as an intelligence collection asset targetted at radical independence movements, pro-Chinese personalities and organizations, and official personalities in newly emerged countries, primarily in Africa. Specifically, these targets would include:a. PAC and ANC: Gibson claims to have friends in both.b. FIN and Algerian government and publishing circles.c. Afro-Asian Journalists Association, and by extension, other Afro-Asian groups, such as exist or promised in youth, labor, women, and so forth.d. Pro-Chinese European parties, including the Belgian (he claims to have access to Grippa), the Marseilles faction and the Swiss activity of Nils Andersson.e. By extension from these, although at present only a remote possibility, developing Chinese propaganda and intelligence instrumentalities.In the short range, a current assignment for us should meet the following criteria:a. lend itself to probationary exploitation;b. not tie Gibson down indefinitely to one location or involve him in an identification with one faction, group or party that would limit his later flexibility;c. permit him to respond to targets of opportunity as we may define them, both to have a maximum test of the range of his capability and access, and to probe for the best long-range use ve can put him to;d. enable him to build his bona fides and his contacts as ve may direct.SECRET
[104-10217-10221.pdf — page 105]
SECRET-4-The best likely assignment to fulfill these requirements is that of a journalist, preferably operating from Europe, capable of credible travel in Europe, Africa and even Asia, with some associations which will preserve his bona fides with target Afro-Asian grouss. Assuming the development of adequate cover, he could then spend an initial period this spring and summer in Algeria to cover the Second Bandung Conference (29 June) and the World Youth Festival (28 July). (Other international conferences, including followup AAPS0 meetings to the Ghana Congress in May, an Afro-Asian Journalists Conference or further PAJU meetings cannot be anticipated as targets at present either because of indefinite, planning or because of unsuitable location. There is little doubt, however, that additional meetings will take place in Algiers and Africa bringing together interesting target personalities from Africa and Asia whom Gibson might attempt to report on.) In addition to his contribution in coverage of these meetings he might also attempt to develop his access and contact among the official Algerian community at least with the value of developing biographical and operational support data.5. Proposed for Discussion. The following questions seem to present themselves for discussion at this time:a. decision on the continuation of support to Gibson on a probationary period;b. determination on targetting for initial probationary and possible long-range employment;c. mechanics of establishing a project;d. timetable for assignments.James M.

SECRET NO FOREIGN DISSEMPlans for the Sale of "Afro-Asian Journalist"in Europe201-306052Richard GIBSON, the former editor of the pro-Chinese Communist publication "Revolution", left London towards the end of January 1965 and returned in the second half of March, having visited Lausanne, Milan, Rome, Paris and Brussels. During his travels he met Nils ANDERSSON, who was formerly connected with "Revolution" in Lausanne and Jacques GRIPPA, the leader of the pro-Chinese dissident group of the Belgian Communist Party. Since his return to the U.K. he has made proposals to the Afro-Asian Journalists' Association for these persons to receive copies of the Association's publication, "Afro-Asian Journalist". He has also suggested to the Afro-Asian Journalists' Association that copies of the publication should be sent to the following: -1. Bulletin d'Information Marxiste-Leniniste,   11, rue du Landry,   Clichy,   France.2. The English Bookshop,   42, rue de Seine,   Paris 6e.3. Nuova Unita,   Piazza Cavour 2,   Milan.4. Marxtisch-Leninstisch-Centrum,   Postbus 1505,   Rotterdam.5. It appears that GIBSON is trying to establish contacts in Europe with the object of expanding sales of the English and French editions of "Afro-Asian Journalist".17th March, 1965.SECRET NO FOREIGN DISSEM
