# SECRET15 December 1966MEMORANDUM FOR: DC/DOSUBJECT: Discussions with WH/6 re Possible Use of Edward G. Tichborn (P) in Spain1. The undersigned lunched on 15 December 1966 with Mr. Lee Patten, the WH/6 Case Officer for Edvard G. TICHBORN (P), who is under VUSALINE cover in New York. Mr. Patten vas formerly COS Managua and now Deputy Chief, WH/6 under Mr. Paul Oberet. He 18 a very competent and conscientious cace officer. He believes that WH Division should get the most operational benefits possible from Tichborn, inasmuch as WE Division is paying Tich- born's salary. He is working diligently to come up with operationali assigmenta for Tichborn. Es has Tichborn working on two research projects and hopes to establish Tichborn as a political advisor to the Government of the Dominican Republic. Although WH Division is suffering budget cuts, which Mr. Patten levents, his project for Tichborn has been approved for one year and funds are available.2. In view of Mr. Patten's conscientious approach as case officer for Tichborn and sove known parochialism in WH, the undersigned felt it unvico to press Mr. Patten for more than approval for Tichborn to make a 2-3 weeks trip to Spain. In fact, the undersigned had to present a considerable case for even this limited use of Tichborn. However, as a result, it is believed that Mr. Patten will support in WH Division a TDY in Spain for Tichborn of 2-3 weeks duration at DO expense. Mr. Patton will call the undersigned on 19 December, to report the WH position.3. The undersigned seized upon the budget cut point to volunteer that DO would be amenable to helping out with Tichborn's salary if WH 18 hard pressed. Mr. Patten declined, inasmuch as his project is approved for one year. He hopes to get so many operational benefits from Tichborn that he will have no problem renewing the project next year. He did admit that DO's willingness to pay Tichborn's expenses and salary while on a TDY to Spain should help him sell the proposal to his superiors.4. The undersigned pointed out that he had not yet approached the Spanish Desk on a TDY for Tichborn, because it was desired toSECRET
[104-10218-10009.pdf — page 47]
get WH Division's views as a first step. Mr. Patten said that in the event of WH approval of a TDY to Spain for Tichborn that he would like to participate with DO and the Spanish Desk in the briefing of Tichborn. The undersigned readily concurred. Mr. Patten thinks that Tichborn should not be a global asset but rather one limited to Latin America. However, he did concur with the undersigned that Spain represents an exception because of language and historical ties to Latin America. Mr. Patten strongly hopes Tichborn can be a political advisor to the Dominican Republic Government. He would not think of recommending to his superiors more than a 2-3 weeks TDY for Tichborn with the understanding that the advisor requirement has priority. The undersigned pointed out that DDP considers the Spanish requirement high priority, and that use of Tichborn for a TDY to Spain would surely be an important justification when project renewal time comes around.5. It is hoped that WH's position will be favorable for a 2-3 weeks use of Tichborn in Spain. Any pressing of WH for use of Tichborn over a longer period is a matter of delicacy. The undersigned knows that WH feels they were coerced into accepting Project WUBRIHY. The undersigned would not recommend pressure. On the contrary, the undersigned has hoped to use Tichborn as a means of opening up Latin America for Project WUBRIKY.Gale W.

# 9 December 1966MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT: Contact Report, 8 December 1205-1600 hoursPARTICIPANTS: Edward G TICHBORN and Lee E. PattonPLACE: Hotel Hoosevelt and Charley Brown's Pub1. TICHBORN arrived at the meeting site in the lobby five minutes late. We went up to the hotel room where the following business items were discussed.a. He was told of his overpay of $872.37 which he said he would return at once by check to Manuel P. Goodtwo, mailed to Mr. William S. Rodgers, P. O. Box 101.46, Woodridge Station.b. TICHBORN was reminded of the requirement that he pay his premiums of $3. 63 for his health insurance. He was told he owed for the period of October through January, and it was suggested that he pay by check directly to the above box. He was told that there was no expiration notice sent out on the premiums being due; hence, it was up to him to keep the matter current.c. He was told that Finance was interested in obtaining his monthly payments of $125 in repayment of his loan of $3, 000. Apparently he had last paid in July. He requested an extention or moratorium through January 1967 due to his heavy expenses involved in moving.d. TICHBORN was shown copies of the "White" FBIS publication. After he has looked at these, he will notify LEP as to whether he wants copies in the future mailed to the post office box which he has now obtained.e. TICHBORN was told that the $575 which he had lost on a TDY trip about a year and a half ago has now been officially written off.

-2-f. TICHBORN was told NOT to use his pseudo, TICHBORN, on mail (LEP had received an envelope from TICHBORN which carried his pseudo on the outside as sender but had a phony address).2. TICHBORN submitted his proposal on the PRI study which he estimated would cost $3,800. Since it did not have a research plan or outline, LEP requested him to send one as soon as possible. TICHBORN believes Menendez is indispensable and that his services are worth the $2,000 he has projected. TICHBORN feels that his plan is not as complete as it might be but would be of a very useful size and scope and could be completed in six months. LEP briefed TICHBORN on the peculiarities of our operational interest in research as contrasted to the traditional academic approach. TICHBORN seemed to understand these distinctions very clearly.3. TICHBORN had a preliminary report entitled "Press Reaction to Balaguer". He said that last week he had finally found a newstand on 146th-Street where he could buy daily issues (only about a day late) of *El Caribe, Listan Diario* and *Ahora*.4. LEP briefed TICHBORN on our (WH) reluctance to send him on ICAP missions to other areas. He indicated that he had not heard of the Spanish trip from John. He quickly said that he thought such a trip was justifiable from the standpoint of Spanish relations with Latin America, etc. etc.5. He agreed that he would be of very limited use for ICAP in other areas and said that he had so informed Train when such travel had been proposed earlier.![signature of Lee E. Patton]Lee E.

Memorandum dtd 8 November 1966 from Chief, DO to Mr. Oale W. Allen re Information about Spain (and Portugal)1. Chief and DC/E/IB informed the undersigned that Chief, EUR does not think Ref A contains sufficient specific information to permit adequate evaluation of ICAP Iberia's access to intelligence targets in Spain. He, therefore, refuses to permit transmittal to the field of available information as agreed in discussions held with DC/COS Madrid prior to his departure. They also informed the undersigned that the requirements in Ref B should be more specific and requested that the undersigned discuss the matter with them.2. The undersigned had previously discussed Ref B requirements with WUBRINY/1. He submitted a list of U. S. firms operating in Spain; a previous report on the ten leading Spanish banks with the interlocking connections in industry of the officers and directors of the banks; and a proposal for additional study. WUBRIENY/1 proposed that, in the guise of publishing a financial directory, ICAP approach U. S. firms operating in Spain and obtain detailed information on their operations. WUBRIENY/1 also proposed to approach ICAP Iberia's Spanish partner, Banif S. A, allegedly in behalf of a client bank interested in Spain, to do a study from the political viewpoint on the most significant power elements in the economic and commercial field. He said that the study could be as elaborate as WOFACT is willing to pay. The undersigned, armed with WUBRIKY/1's thinking and list of U. S. companies, met with Chief and DC/E/IB at their request on 30 November 1966.met 3. Chief and DC/E/IB asked some very specific questions on the access of Banif, S.A. either as a firm or through its Directors to in.elligence targets. They must be in a position to justify to the satisfaction of Chief, EUR that ICAP and ICAP Iberia have intelligence capability which can be operationally exploited. Therefore, answers must be forthcoming on this matter or DO assure thee that Banif, S. A. has such access but can't exploit it unless an officer is assigned to ICAP Ibaria.SECRET201-253203

If such relations exist, give details. Now did the commercial relations arice? Was it because of commercial reasons or relations between individual Banif Directors and officials of the Spanish Goverment? If the latter, what is the nature of the relationshipî Was it friendship or under-the-table deals such as kickbacks, rebates, etc. Describe ench Danff-Spanish government deal giving the substance, participants, and arrangements?c. Does Banif, S.A. or its Directors have connections with any political group, either in the regins or in the opposition? Does it contribute funds to any political groupid. Does Benif have any deale with the military on arms and equipment? If so, give details.e. What are the specific projects Berif has vorised on in the past two years, either for its cum account or the acccant of others. Give details.i8. What information aces Benif have, or a capability for obtaining, on Spain's economic, industrial, and finencial situation as it might affect a post-Franco Goverment.5. Bo Ref B requirements, Chief and DC/E/IB affirmed interest in the most significent power elesants in the econonde or commercial field in Spain, particularly those having political ties. They are Interested not in all U. 6. firms operating in Spain, but in those which are politically conscious and have the capability by virtue of size or nature of vort to influence political life in Spain. For example, a small V. 8. firm raising chickens in Spain is of no interest. Conversely, the Bank of America in the banking field or Brown & Root in the construction field or a U. S. firm comifacturing military equipment could be of great interest. In these firms with a capability to influence Spanish political life, the Chief and DC/E/IB vould be interested in knowing the U. S. managers in Spain who deal with the Spanish cuthorities.6. The undersigned asked, and Chief and DC/E/IB agreed, to send Chief, Do their specific requirements on a formal basis. Chief and DC/E/IB opined that Project WUBRIKY appears to have the best capability for Spain and Project WMIENTREE for Portugal.2SECRET

SECRED7. The undersigned, on 1 December 1966, apprised VURINY/1 of the specific nature of the Spanish Desk requirements, inasmuch as WURINY/1 could go to Spain while on his current trip to Europe. SUBRDY/1 said that answers to such specific questions would require someone spending considerable time on the spot. He could not spend the time, but suggested that WH contract agent, Edvard O. TICHBORN (P) be made available for two weeks assignment with ICAP, Iberia. WUMRIRY/1 noted that Tichborn is fluent in Spanish and an experienced hand in ferreting out such information. Moreover, it would be perfectly natural for Tichborn to visit ICAP Iberia prior to undertaking commercial ventures in Latin America. A visit by Tichborn would be very logical from a training viewpoint and in the light of the traditional ties between Spain and Latin America.8. The undersigned concurs with WUBRILEY/1 that Tichborn would be an excellent means of obtaining the desired information. Subject to WH Division's operational demands on Tichborn, it is hoped that WH Division would make him available for a couple of weeks. This matter can be developed further when WURRIRY/1 returns free Europe and it is determined whether Tichborn will be needed for a two weeks training job in the Dominican Republic.Distribution:Orig - Adco1- ICAP Iberia/Ops1- Tichborn1- WUERIIY/OpsGale W.

TICHBORN and procedure for payment of his Contract Hospitalization Insurance premiums.2. It is requested you advise T:a. Although full salary for October, 1966 was paid him by his cover office, Headquarters payroll erroneously sent the amount of $872.37 to his bank representing his October salary.T is to liquidate the overpayment by forwarding his check in the amount of $881. ($872.37 plus 8.63 insurance premium) payable to Manuel P. GOODTWO.b. As T, beginning with October, receives full salary from cover, it will be necessary for him to provide payments to Headquarters for his contract hospitalization insurance. The monthly premium is $8.63.It is suggested that premium payments be made on a quarterly basis beginning with the period Oct 66 - Jan 67 inclusive. Subsequent quarterly payments should be made during the last month of the preceding quarter. Check should be made payable to Manuel P. GOODTWO.If T indicates quarterly payments are inconvenient, he may pay in any multiple of one month in advance. In such case, the initial payment must be for two months (Oct and Nov). Subsequent payments should be made in advance of the month for which premium is due (premium for Dec should be received during Nov, etc.).Advise T that expiration notices are not sent.c. The above checks should be forwarded to this office for processing.d.

MEMO: To ICAP DirectorsFACH: Train and LopezIN RE: Projected trip through Latin AmericaBearing in mind that our executive committee may (at some future but presently undetermined date) desire Lopez to undertake in-depth surveys of economic conditions in certain Latin American countries, we consider it highly desirable to establish prior contacts with the banking and business communities of several selected areas which are most likely to offer ICAP sound investment opportunities. Our past experience indicates that it is much easier to assess spontaneous financial ventures if one is already acquainted with the business ambiance of a particular country. Thus, having previously touched base with local bankers and industrialists, Lopez would have the advantage of thier personal advice in matters relating to any specific subsequent projects.The countries that would seem to offer the most promising opportunities for ICAP are PERU, CHILE, ARGENTINA, URUGUAY, BRAZIL and VENEZUELA. Fortunately, we have already established certain minimal ties with most of these countries, but it would be best for Lopez himself to become personally acquainted with our contacts therein.In order to save time and money, it would be advisable to visit all these countries in a single round-the-hemisphere

trip. Taking into account the normal travel delays, the trip would require about eighteen (18) days.Budget requirements:1) Airline fares - $550 per person.   This is Pan American Airlines special "winter fare." Normally, the trip costs $840 per person.2) Lodging, food and minimal entertainment expenses - about $35 daily per person.:   Total for each person would be about $630.3) Miscellaneous expenses (cab fares to and from airports, in-town cab fares, phone calls, secretarial costs, etc.) - about $100.Since the month of December is generally a slow business period in most of these countries, we would suggest that this trip be made in the month of January, 1967.

1 November 1966MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORDSUBJECT : Contact Report, 26 OctoberPARTICIPANTS: (1) Edward G. TICHBORN, John P. C. Train,Gaft Allen, and Lee E Patton(2) TICHBORN, Allen, and PattonPLACE : (1) Train's apartment at 7000 Park Avenue, 1500-1730 hours.(2) Mannie Klein's Restaurant 1730-2000 hours1. During the meeting at Train's, the majority of the discussion cenetered around ICAP, the trip to Central America and CIA/DO relations with ICAP. The following points of interest were gleaned in this period.a. Train is a highly-trained promoter who is coldly reserved and capable. IHe seems to be generally pleased with TICHBORN and his capabilities for serving the firm as legal advisor, contact man, and unofficial economic consultant on economic matters.b. TICHBORN likes his cover company, Train, and the work itself.c. Train, if let alone, would use 100% of TICHBORN's time. When he brought this up, LEP used it as a starting place for briefing on the general nature of TICHBORN's functions of the past. Train was told that he would need TICHBORN for "research activities" in addition to any use involving special trips to Latin America. Не was told we would need 50% or more of TICHBORN's time to carry out these activities. It was pointed out to him that because of the nature of TICHBORN's services, we would have to insist that he be available for immediate use and hence could not be on any long-range Train projects which would be difficult to drop. Train accepted these limitations without visable annoyances or objections.d. Tichborn says his office cover is good and there are no indications that he is not accepted for what he purports to be.
