SECRET.3.contacts (that of an unwitting informant). We feel that given this situation ORPHONE/1 is doing as well as might reasonably że expected.OEP 858 was a much appreciated analysis of ORPHONE/1's recent reporting on the Italian target and explained why much of this has not been judged disseminable. Having reflected on this we realize that this is actually not surprising. It should be recalled that Rome Station specifically requested that ORPHONE/1 get away from rigid formal CS-type reporting and render more opinionated journalistic type reports. This type of reporting has been juōged quite useful by Rome Station but it is useful in an operational manner and for general appreciation of the situation. Thus it was not surprising that an analysis of this particular group of reports turned out as it did. Rome Station has orally noted to LCPIPIT that ORPHONE/l's visits will continue to be welcome and his reporting of definite use - even if this utility is outside the CS framework.In general we feel that this operation is progressing well. In the past there may have been a tendancy on the part of certain "customers" to exaggerate QRPHONE/1's potential - with a consequent lot-down when the realities of ORPHONE/1 the man and his access to targets was brought home. We now feel that this is behind us. Judged against the realities of his situation, his access and the nature of his targets, we think that QRPHONE/1 makes excellent progress against those targets assigned him.Aaron C. LAGISTRASECRET

# DISPATCHTO: Chief, WOLIMEINFO: COS, London; C/EUR; COS, ParisFROM: Chief, LCPIPIT/LondonSUBJ: STODORIC/Operational/MHPROBE ORPHONE/Passport1.  At their most recent meeting QRPHONE/1 reported to RODIGAST that he had lost his passport in Paris during his recent visit to France. The loss occurred on 8 November in the departure lounge at Orly Airport as QRPHONE/1 was waiting to board AF 822 for London (leaving at 1755 hours). QRPHONE/1 had shown his passport to the immigration officials when he entered the lounge. He then went to the duty free shop to purchase a bottle of Scotch and a carton of cigarettes for his wife (she smokes Galoises). He presumes that his passport slipped from his pocket during the process of producing his wallet to pay for these items. At any rate he did not discover the loss until the flight was airborne.2.  QRPHONE/1 had no difficulty re-entering Britain using his Home Office Certificate of Registration. He reported the loss to Air France immediately but as of his meeting with RODIGAST on 13 November it had not been located.3.  On 10 November QRPHONE/1 went to the U.S. Embassy in London and obtained a new passport (the number of this passport is IDENTITY - u/s/c).4.  We advised CHALEMSKY, of Paris Station, of this loss during his visit to LCPIPIT on 14 November.Attachment: u/s/cPassport NumberDistribution:3 - C/WOLIME w/att1 - COS, London w/o att1 - COS, Paris w/att1 - C/EUR w/o attAaron C.

SECRET7 NOV 1969MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Chief, CA StaffSUBJECT: LCPIPIT Request for QRPHONE/1 Salary IncreaseREFERENCE: OEPA - 21221. The following is a breakdown of ORPHONE/1's salary history:Starting salary, June 1965 $600 per month1 September 1966 $700 per month1 July 1967 $800 per monthAll of the above figures are tax free. In addition, as of 1 May 1969, Subject was given an additional $50 per month (also tax free) as our contribution toward some form of insurance against the future (endowment, lump sum cash valus, or whatever the Field and he finally selected). This appears on the books as a salary increase. However, although to his ultimate advantage, It does result in a small decrease in take-home pay since Qil is also required to make a contribution to the payment of the premium.2. In addition, Q/1's MOC also provides for $10,000 indemnification in case of death, or payment of $600 per month up to $10,000 to his wife in case of his total Incapacitation or disappearance while employed by CIA. Allowance had originally been made for this provision when he seemed to have an excellent chance for travel to Peking; this year we included the provision as a general benefit, not tied to any particular type of hazardous travel alone. Finally, this year's amendment to his MOC also included a severance bonus of one month's salary for each year of satisfactory service. We placed $3,200 in a special escrow account to cover his previous four years' service, and are providing in our Project renewals for each year's required deposit to that escrow account. Please note, however, that this benefit has not yet been surfaced either to ORPHONE/1 or to RODIGAST, by decision of LCPIPIT (a decision which I believe was wise).3. It is my feeling that the proposed salary Increase of $250 tax free per month is way out of line. I believe that paragraph 3 of the reference, comparing Q/1 with a hypothetical GS-12 is a rather specious and unrealistic argument. Q/1, although an American, is an agent, and nothing more, and as you note in your penciled comment the question of quarters, allowances, and periodic step increases is not relevant. In addition, while I do not subscribeSECRETQ/201

# SECRETto some of the criticisms that have been leveled at his production, the fact remains that I have not seen any marked improvement during the past two years in the quality of the material he provides us. As time goes on and the realistic criteria of what is disseminable and what is not are applied more and more to his production, and this production in turn remains at its present level of superficiality, we will see less and less of it qualify for dissemination. Since he is an FI agent, this has considerable significance, although it of course does not present the full picture of his capabilities. His operational intelligence has been received with mixed evaluations; usually his initial coverage of a subject is very well received and often whets the appetite of the recipient for more; somehow, however, that "more" never seems to materialize -- they get more of exactly the same caliber, but little more in terms of depth of reporting. Perhaps the fault lies in ORPHONE/1, in which case we should realize early that what we have here is not a true FI agent, but a sort of "operational intelligence butterfly." Perhaps, on the other hand, the fault lies in RODIGAST's handling of the man, not in terms of the personal relationship which RODIGAST has been able to build up with him, but maybe even because of that relationship. I remember when I first talked with RODIGAST I quickly realized that he felt he knew more than Headquarters as to what was important for Q/1 to cover and what was not; I am sorry I missed RODIGAST on his TDY here and when I was in London, and that his home leave has been postponed, for I had hoped to determine for myself whether RODIGAST still felt that way. Whatever the reason, I am by no means giving up on O/1, but will continue to try to narrow down his targets so that he will have a fair shake at showing what he can do when he is not allowed to cover the waterfront.4. What the above paragraph is leading up to, is that I do not in all honesty feel that he has done anything to really deserve a promotion, except build longevity since the last one, and perhaps not follow up (actively) on that newspaper job offered to him (his preference, in any event). However, I do realize that a man must have an incentive, and would like to propose that we suggest to LCPIPIT that a more realistic increase might be in the neighborhood of $100 a month, and that the severance bonus mentioned in paragraph 2 above might now be surfaced both to RODIGAST and to Q/l as a new benefit.5. Attached for your ready reference is a copy of the ORPHONE quarterly report for 1 April to 30 June 1969; this is the last one we have received.DIANE L.

# QUARTERLY REPORTSTATION/BASE : LCPIPIT (London)PROJECT : ORPHONEAGENT'S CRYPT : QRPHONE/1DATE OF POA/OA: 23 May 1966PERIOD COVERED : 1 July-30 September 1969COSTS : $4,33414 (Field Costs Only):CASE OFFICER TIME: 12 working days per month (average)## 1. SUMMARY OF OPERATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS DURING PERIOD:Pursuant to plans developed as a result of Marie R. LUEBBERT'S TDY, QRPHONE/1 made a continuing effort to deepen his contacts with various African personalities connected with the "London group". Although some progress has been made with persons who seem of secondary importance, QRPHONE/1 still is unable to gain the confidence of the central characters such as Dennis Phombeah and Oscar Kambona.QRPEONY's one week stay in the U.K. was a week of intense activity for QRPHONE/1 and saw his local "credentials" put to a most demanding test. ORPHONE/1 performed extremely well throughout the week. See OELA - 51297 for details.QRPHONE/1 has been able to monitor the activity of Belgian Communist Rene Raindorf who is attempting to become a key figure in the Palestinian liberation movement. See OEPA - 2037, 2099 and 2123.Following an overature from a U.S. newspaper QRPHONE/1 made a quick trip to New York to consult with Headquarters officers regarding the implications of this overature on his RVROCK status. See LCPIPIT 4222 and DIRECTOR 28728 for details.Through two unwitting female informants QRPHONE/1 was able to obtain reporting on the Algiers Cultural Festival. See OELA - 51298.ORPHONE/1 has continued his monitoring of the activity of various African liberation movement figures in London.## 2. SPECIFIC MATTERS OF OPERATIONAL SECURITY AND COVER:QRPHONE/1's vacation in Italy with his family produced a marked improvement in his domestic situation - with its consequent impact upon the cover and security of the entire operation. This remains a matter of concern and one which will be carefully monitored.QRPURE is now entering into a more meaningful overt correspondence with QRPHONE/1, including discussions of his participation in the now magazino. This will have a positive impact upon QRPHONE/1's cover as a representative of QRPURE.A new means of funding QRPHONE/1's salary is being sought to replace BIKNEE, which is no longer functioning due to unrelated problems encountered by the principal agent of that operation. For a review of the security implications of this matter (which are thought to be minimal) please see DIRECTOR 46178.## 3. ESTIMATE OF AGENT'S CONTINUED DEGREE OF ACCESS TO TARGETS:QRPHONE/1's access to his various targets remains substantially unchanged.## 4. EXTENT TO WHICH AGENT HAS BEEN ABLE TO SERVICE ASSIGNMENTS, INCLUDING INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTION:QRPHONE/1 has approached all his assignments with enthusiasm and energy. He has fulfilled these assignments to the maximum
