By reference Subject's annual salary was increased to its present figure of US $5,040.00.2. Station hereby requests a further Increase in Subject's annual salary to US $5,500.00 based upon Subject's outstanding performance as Principal Agent in the LIEMPTY project. The latest LIEMPTY Project Renewal Request, recently forwarded to Headquarters, detailed GERENDE's duties. In Station's opinion, the noted salary increase is considered justified not only from agent's excellent job performance, but also as an incentive to continued superior work as well as an offset to the inflationary trend of the cost of living in Mexico.3. It is requested that Headquarters initlate the appropriate amendment to GERENDE's contract Increasing his yearly salary to the noted figure of US $5,500.00 to be effective 1 January 1962.![Signature of Willard C.

# DISPATCHTO Chief of Station, Mexico CityFROM Chief, KURIOTKUIATIC/OperationalUV Lamp for Raymond H. GEREDEACTION REQUIRED REFERENCESREF: HMMA-16102, 9 December 19601. As requested by reference, KURIOT is herewith forwarding the following:   (Confirming documentation charging you for this item will be issued in the near future.)Long Wave Ultraviolet Lamp2. For ordinary F&S work, the difference between long and short wave lamps is very minor and the long wave UV lamp should prove adequate for the needs of Raymond H. GERENDE. Should a special need arise demanding the use of a short wave UV lamp by GERENDE, it will be supplied by KURIOT.3. Disclosure of the existence, advantages, or uses of short wave UV lamps, or in any way making available such lamps to other than KUBARK personnel requires prior Headquarters approval. A copy of Instruction No. 20-2 containing the basic KURIP policy governing the use of short wave UV lamps is herewith enclosed for your guidance.4. Short wave UV lamps embody a definite health hazard and should be used with caution. Short wave UV rays quickly cause sunburn, to which the eyes are particularly susceptible, and should not be used without wearing protective goggles. Ordinary eye glasses cut out most of the harmful rays, but even persons wearing glasses may receive harmful eye burns from UV rays entering at the sides of the glasses. Short wave UV lamps also produce small quantities of ozone so that the lamp should be used in a well ventilated room, which, of course, must also be darkened. For the above reasons, it is advisable to use only a long wave UV lamp whenever possible.Arthur B. WELATZEnclosures: (1 Box and 1 Envl)1. UV Lamp2.

# DISPATCHTO: Chief, WH DivisionFROM: Chief of Station, Mexico CitySUBJECT: Raymond H. GERENDE (ps)/Emergency Contact ArrangmentsACTION REQUIRED: None, for Headquarters information onlyREFERENCE(S): HMMA-15979, KAPOK-1842 dated 18 November 1960KAPOK-1843201-11952350-6-74/1DATE: 23 November 19601.  In compliance with the KUBARK regulation, CSI-F No. 230-60, Annex A, concerning contact arrangments under emergency conditions, the following information, including recognition signals and bona fides, is forwarded for Headquarters records. Due to the sensitivity of the information, it was believed more appropriate to forward it separately rather than to include it with reference (Request for Renewal of Project LLIEMPTY).2.  Insofar as can be determined at the present time, GERENDE could probably be contacted at one of the following places:a. Present Residence: IDENTITY Ab. Mother's Residence: IDENTITY Bc. Cover Employment Address: IDENTITY C3.  The following oral recognition signals, using the English language, are to be used as indicated:CONTACT: "Mr. (GERENDE-true name), I bring the most sincere wishes and greetings from your Aunt and Uncle."GERENDE: "Then you are referring to the IDENTITY D."CONTACT: "No, I am referring to your other relatives in South Carolina, the IDENTITY E."GERENDE: "Yes, Auntie is my Mother's sister."4.  For use as physical bona fides, the Station is forwarding a one peso note with the serial number T348510 for Headquarters files. GERENDE has been given a one peso note with the next higher serial number, T348511, το keep in a safe place pending his having to show it to some future KUBARK contact. It has been explained to GERENDE that he is to show his half of the physical bona fides only after the recognition signals have been completely and accurately recited and his new contact has requested to see his physical bona fides. GERENDE has also been instructed to assure himself of his contact's bona fides by asking to see the contact's one peso note (T348510).5.  Assuming that adequate time will be available at the beginning of an emergency condition, it may well be possible to instruct GERENDE in Secret Writing so that correspondence could be conducted using IDENTITY D or E addresses.

It is felt advisable to have a second person outside the Station who can service this type of requirement in case HULFORD is prevented from doing so by the security situation arising from the ALPHER case.2.  As an aid to this training, a copy of the portion of the MACHARITY Operations Manual (Section I.O.1.) dealing with basic flaps and seals work has been made and turned over to FREDE. A second copy is being forwarded herewith to Headquarters. This material was prepared on the basis of the content of the FURIOT training course of mid-1957.

Reference (o) forwarded a contract amendment which provided increased compensation and a termination settlement for Raymond H. GERENDE. This dispatch also requested that the Station comment on the provisions of the Terminal Payment clause as written into this amendment.2.  Since the provisions of the original contract amendment ware written in general terms and did not specifically cover the circumstances under which GERENDE would be eligible for a terminal settlement as interpreted by the Station and outlined in reference (b), a revised contract amandrent was written. The attached contract amanduent also shows corrected compensation figures. The original contract amendment was incorrect due to the absence of the amendment, effective 1 September 1957, which increased GERENDE's compensation from $3,600 to $4,080.3.  Sines GERENDE's originel contract was prepared at Headquarters and forwarded to you for oxsontion and retention, this amendment should follow the sare procedure. Therefore, the originel and one copy are attached for your action and retention. Heturn one signed copy.4.  Reference (a) requested Headquarters to comment on a two-year extension for GERENDE' s contract, indicating that the extension should be fram i July 1959, the date of the last amendment, to 1 July 1961.
