# DISPATCHTO Chief, WH DivisionFROM Chief of Station, Mexico CitySUBJECT LIEMPTY/Contract Amendment for Raymond H. GERENDE (ps)ACTION REQUIRED None, for Headquarters information only.REFERENCESA. HMMA-13063, 5 June 1959.B. HMMW-7959, 12 August 1959.1. Forwarded herewith as Attachment No. One is GERUNDE's signed contract amendment, GERENDE is most appreciative for the raisse in salary and is delighted with the new Terminal Payment clause.2. The Station interprets the Terminal Payment clause to mean any termination by the Government or acceptance of GERENDE's resignation in the "best interests of the Government." Examples in connection with the "best interests of the Government" interpretation would involve GERENDE's resignation for health reasons or other logical personal reasons such as a change of residence to some geographical area where his services could not be utilized by KUBARK. Assuming that no security problems are involved in making such a payment, the Station also interprets the clause to be applicable for payment to GERENDE's estate in the event of his death while in the employ of KUBARK.3. The Station understands clearly why the clause was not written as originally requested and concurs in Headquarters reasoning. Certainly, the Station would not want to give GERENDE a terminal payment, and he has been so informed, if he elects to resign just to receive some extra money or to pursue some other career. The Station hastens to add, however, that to the best of its knowledge, GERENDE has no intention of resigning from his present KUBARK job.4. As requested in Reference B, enclosed as Attachment No. Two are the original and one copy of the contract amendment dated 1 September 1957. Headquarters wili note that the amendment was accepted by GERENDE and approved by the Chief of Station, but was not formally witnessed. It is suggested that Matthew S. DINGLEY (ps), who is presently in Headquarters, be requested to witness the document. DINGLEY was the Case Officer handling GERENDE at the time this amendment became effective.QNO/vps20 August 1959Distribution3 Hqs w/attachments as stated above![signature of Willard C.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD:SUBJECT Contract for GERENDEIn reviewing the last contract amendment, it came to note that CPD was deleting the original compensation figure of $3600 instead of the figure sent by the Station which was $4080. In checking this out, we find that we have no copy or notification of the amendment dated 1 September 1957 increasing his salary from $3600 to $4080, CPD is rewritting the contract without using a compensation figure for the amount to be deleted.When we send this to the field, ask them to send us a copy of the contract amendment, dated 1 September 1957. Also inform them that they are to execute and retain the original copy of this new contract amendment. It may be well to point out that Subject's termination clause stipulates that he will received this benefit only if we terminate the contract.MTherrien

# DISPATCHTO: Chief, WH DivisionFROM: Chief of Station, Mexico CitySUBJECT: New Contract for Raymond H. GEKENDE (P)ACTION BEQUIRED: Headquarters preparation of a new contract.REFERENCEIS: HMMW-5626, 3 December 19571.  Raymond H. GERENDE was initially employed by the Station on 18 March 1955 under provisions of an oral agreement. Effective 1 October 1955 GERENDE was placed under a written contract, prepared by Headquarters, with an annual salary of $3,600.00. On 1 September 1957 his contract was amended to increase his salary to $4,080.00 per annum, which is the salary he is presently receiving. It is requested that a new two year contract he prepared, to be effective 1 July 1959, providing an increase in salary to $4,500.00 per annum and including a termination clause which will give GERENDE a termination payment of one month's salary, calculated at the prevailing rate of compensation at the time of termination, for each full year of his KUBARK employment. All other provisions of GERENDE's initial contract should remain in force. (The increase in salary to $4,500,00 per annum is already covered by the LIEMPTY Project.)2.  As pointed out in the attachment to HΜΜΑ-11368, 22 October 1958, paragraph three of MEXI-2836, 25 November 1958, and in the LIEMPTY Field Project Outline, GERENDE is a highly valued full-time Station asset who carries a significant work load and who has a great deal of responsibility. He is the LIEMPTY Principal Agent who handles the LIMITED, LILYRIC and LICALLA hase houses, the LIENTRAP operation, the outside photographic processing and trans-lation service and all the agents participating in these activities. He performs his duties in a conscientious and professional manner and his already excellent abilities are showing continued improvement.3.  Paragraph eight of HMMA-12095, 4 February 1959, indicated that the Station was considering amending GERENDE's contract to provide for some type of retirement benefits. Although it is recognized that indigenous agents are not usually granted such contract provisions, the Station believes that GERENDE should have monetary incentive, in addition to his idealogy, to make a long career with KUBARK. Accordingly, the Station recommends that GERENDE's new contract provide for a termination settlement of one month's salary for each full year that he has worked for KUBARK. In other words, should GERENDE's career with KUBARK last for 24 years and his yearly salary at the end of this period is $8,000.00,. then he, or his heirs, would receive a lump sum payment of $16,000.00. After considering different types of insurance plans, an escrow account and several other ideas, the Station considers the above proposal to come closest to meeting the criteria of control, production incentive and creation of the desire to make KUBARK acareer. The date, 18 March 1955, should be used as the beginning date for the coinputation of GERENDE's termination benefits.![signature]Willard C. CURTISQNO/vps3 June 1959Distribution3 Hqs

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, FISUBJECT: Project LIEMPTY AmendmentSECRETHEADQUARTERS CASE OFFICE:Name: J. B. BradyRoom: 2114 carton HallExt.: 2555Date: 23 June 19591. It is requested that approval be granted to amend Raymond H. GERENDE's contract to provide him with a termination settlement of one month's salary for each full year that he works for KUBARK and to raise his salary effective July 1959 from $4,000 to $4,560.00 per year. His last salary increase was granted on 1 September 1957. The date, 18 March 1955, has been suggested by the Station as the beginning date for the computation of GERENDE's termination benefits. The Station believes that this benefit will provide GERENDE with the necessary incentive to make KUBARK a career and at the same time will give the Station an additional element of control.2. As pointed out in the LIEMPTY Project Approval, GERENDE, an indigenous agent, is one of the Station's most valuable assets. He has a responsible full time job as the LIEMPTY Principal Agent who handles the LIMITED, LITHIC and LICALLA base houses, the LIENTRAP operation, the outside photographic processing and translation service and all the agents participating in these activities. he performs his duties in a conscientious and professional manner and his already excellent abilities are showing continued improvement.3. Money was already allocated in the LIEMPTY Project approval for the salary increase. With the effective date of 18 March 1955, for the termination clause, GERENDE will already have accrued $1,520 (his salary is $4,560 per year) if he should resign today. The LIEMPTY Project, as approved, has sufficient funds to cover this cost if it is necessary to obligate this amount during the present Project year. Therefore, no additional funds are requested.Attachments:Folder with past approvalEnvelope with true nameH. W. Dahlgren, C/CH/IIIConcur:Chief, FI/OPSC. W. Anderson, FE/FIApproved for Transmittal:J.

# DISPATCHKAFOC-1841that detailed risk which both SCANILING and the States must take if penetration at a primary target is achieved, whether technically or by a secret mechanism in place. SCANILING's credits that he has not yet become involved in an incident where his actions has compromised him and/or alerted the target of KUARK's many activities as to being committed as a FORPAE operation stems directly from the LIPSTICKunit. NIPSTONE is his true name at the time that he was leader of the team.If placed in detention, however, this being uncovered with reference to SCANILINGand his part of improprieties by a local police service, SCANILING and his latter have been considered to watch closely for any sign of local police and other pressures to his activities.Operational Sources and Effectiveness - Briefly discussed below are some important contributions to which SCANILING participated during the period covered by this report:A. Juan *CASTRO (211-) -* SCANILING mentioned contacting CASTRO through December 1958 following the best later juncture of re-contacting the original LUMESA/ ACLIGHTING operation through CASTRO. As late as September 1956 possibilitiesto re-contact, or improved at cause, that CASTRO would overthrow his work in theLIPSTICK/LEADWICK office and that it might be possible to reinstall HALIEUTING.While CASTRO, through SCANILING, was the principal source of this information, possibilities were also confirmed by LIDBACK. During July, August and September1956 LIPSTICK had approximately fifty CIA contacts who were in contact with CASTRO.In late September 1956 LIPSTICK indicated that the LIDBACK target was a retiring prominentCuban. This operation seems to find the best area around the target areas which CASTROwould normally have been expected to do had he still been in the employ of theLIPSTICK. This LIMITED and LIDCAT contacts confirm that the LIDBACK target hadbecome so violating the target assassination not did the target people attempt to go into contact with him. In view of this, SCANILING was instructed to cease all contact with CASTRO as of 1 November 1958.B. Pablo *NEW Doana (211-) -* During the period covered by this reportSCANILING and two interviews with NON Sources, SCANILING's most recentreport was forwarded to headquarters as a reference to RAIMA-11143.1in early September 1958. Unfortunately the situation has been identified more forces as the technically Service LIDBACK still send forces. SCANILING will continue his development of NON forces (phones see RAIMA-11711, 19 December 1958).C. Camilo *VICALES (201-) -* SCANILING's activities in connection with this LUMESA/ACLIGHTING operation were also mentioned in RAIMA-11397, 22 October 1958, and prior there correspondence.D. HIGHERIA GABELICH - This is the term that made the steel visit effort for the LIPSTICK initiative. SCANILING needs two visits to thisteam's work, develop and succeeded to obstacles through information to make use of.

Colog Report on West Germany embassy - During June, July and August 1958, KANVILO prepared a detailed casting report on the new LIMERICK embassy. SCANTLING's rapport eventually causes him to prepare accurate drawings and sketches from a multitude of data. Also, SCANTLING's gregarious nature permits him to visit the inside of such embassies, with an excuse to cover security, and retain minute details which later he converts to paper and energy to write a comprehensive floor plan and important construction data.P. LIMERICK Construction - SCANTLING's long association with this target from the casting stage provides the front firm with an expert addicted to moments about LIMERICK construction from early stages, modified and can discuss casting, concrete, or file in Headquarters. All of the LIMERICK casting reports come as the product of SCANTLING's unusually military and knowledge. Military and Sanitation Officers about LIMERICK construction have been known to skip the first routine in the reporting period and then will continue to record worthwhile importance.G. Routine Investigation and Surveillance on - Although the Section has several sources capable of performing investigations and surveillance, SCANTLING is still used in situations revealing the sources to deception and disruption. His activities in this to cover cities are non responsive to the Section. suffice it to state that he has contributed materially to the Section's information department of investigation through his transactions affecting SCANTLING's interview of Hans Frederick Kirockhoff (CIMA-6356) of LOMAY-HOWL, inferences to an example of SCANTLING's use on investigations (see HAIA-11749, 17 December 1958).H. ESGM-15 - SCANTLING served as the contact with ESGM-15 during the latter's December 1958 trip to Mexico City. In this connection SCANTLING's export asked, offered to translate for him to the Section, SCANTLING never displays made a curiosity in operations as such as the ESGM-15 due; he accepts the information of information given and per instance his duties in a professional and accurate manager.I. LIRAPIY/3 - SCANTLING has give the subunits native success connected with L/3. During M. KILLOO provides operational direction to L/3. During this reporting period, the Section has had hopes of SCANTLING taking over the operational supervision of L/3's activities. However, after a four-month KILLOO meeting with L/3, it was decided that he would be relieved for KILLOO to continue heading L/3. L/3's sexual personality and behavior indicated that he could best be directed by KILLOO to continue. Therefore, SCANTLING no longer assists KILLOO's operational meetings, although he does continue to handle L/3's administrative problems.J. Raymond H. OUREDE's Duties - During GEREDE's absence fromSECRET/KAPOK
