SECRET20 August 1962SUBJECT: Assessment of Career Agent, Jeremy K. BENADUM1. Pseudonym and salary: Jeremy K. BENADUM, CS-15, $14,055.2. Division or Staff and city: WH Division, Mexico City.3. Operational duties: Subject maintains unofficial liaison between the Station and a Mexican Ministry. He also develops independent agents.4. Cover: Subject has Inmigrante-Rentista status which allows him to remain in Mexico indefinitely and the only restriction on his activity is that he cannot be gainfully employed. In view of the fact he is a wealthy wan in his own right and will soon be of age to collect retirement from his long service with the FBI, this cover presents no problems. After five years in this status he will obtain inmigrado status which will give him complete freedom of operation, with all the rights as a Mexican citizen, except that of voting. The cover is excellent because it is secure, allows him complete mobility, and require no administrative support. There are no existing or anticipated problems related thereto.5. Division's assessment: Subject is an experienced, well-trained, serious intelligence officer, capable of spotting, assessing, recruiting and handling agents. Most of his experience and capability is in the field of collection of FI intelligence and operational support, the latter being his most outstanding area of contribution to Station objectives, He would also be capable of running CI operations. His knowledge of CA type work, however, cannot be assessed at Headquarters.Subject's cover is a natural one and poses no difficulties. Since Subject has been in the intelligence field for over 20 years, he is psychologically prepared for his dual role in intelligence operations and is well qualified to operate without strong Station support.Headquarters is not in a position to comment on the timeliness or quality of his operational reporting, but no defects in this regard have been noted nor have any been brought to the attention of Headquarters by the Station,Subject needs no training.SECRET

# SECRETChief of Station, Mexico CityChief, WH DivisionADMIN/CONTRACTSJeremy K. BENADUM - Retirement, Report of Cover EarningsReference: Mexico City 33401. Reference indicated Jeremy K. BENADUM had proposed an extension of his retirement from 31 October to an appropriate date in December 1970 in order for him to use his annual leave in lieu of lump sum payment.2. Shortly before the COS left Headquarters for Mexico, a meeting was held during which the Branch Chief discussed contract personnel of the Station.Ref was discussed and it was the COS's desire for there to be an amicable separation at the time of BENADUM's retirement. If, therefore, the extra two months would accomplish this, then the added costs would be worthwhile.3. The following annuity figures have been provided by the Retirement Office and are predicated on a retirement date of 31 December 1970. Please keep in mind, the figures must be considered as estimates and subject to verification of service and final computations. Retirement would be under the Organization Program.(Continued)Attachment: As stated, herewithDistribution: 2-COS, Mexico City|                    || ------------------ || CROSS REFERENCE TO || 1-WH/1             || 1-WH/Registry      || 1-WH/Contracts     || DISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBER || -------------------------- || HMMS-6919                  || CLASSIFICATION             || SECRET                     || DATE        | MOS FILE NUMBER || ----------- | --------------- || 22 JUL 1970 | 4460            || OFFICE       | OPERATING                || ------------ | ------------------------ || WH/Contracts | (WSRenehan me (Jul 70) ) || OFFICE SYMBOL | OCI || ------------- | --- || C/WH/1        |     || COORIDINATING || ------------- ||               || OFFICAL SYMBOL || -------------- || C WH/SS        |Richard B.

21 July 1970MEMORANDUM IN LIEU OF FITNESS REPORTSUBJECT: Cover Agent Jeromy K. BENADUMDuring the past three months I have had the opportunity to work with and direct the activitios of Jeremy K. BENADUM. Within a few months he will be retired from further service and it is appropriate now to review his past performance and present status in order that this remain a permanent part of his record.BENADUM, during the past ten years, has performed as the outside case officer for the LITEMPO Project. He was pressed into service after rosigning his position with LNSRGO, for whoe he worked for a period of twenty years. His primary value to the Station, at that time, was his access to persons of all-levels within the Mexican Government and especially the Mexican Security Servico. On further investigation it bocane clear it was his close personal and official relationship with LITEMPO-1 which offered him this access across the board. Gradually over the years ho developed a similar relationship with LITEMPO-12, LITEMPO-4 and others.His past evaluations are still valid, however, during the past three sonthe he has gradually been phased out of liaison contacts and has been used principally to assist the Station in its orderly lisinon transition. He is currently in touch with two liaison types officially but occasionally sees others on a purely social basis.Although his retirement is not voluntary, he has good-naturedly assisted the Station in this very sensitive and delicate changeover. He will remain in Mexico after his retirement and has offered his assistance if needed. Ho presents no overriding handling problem, reporte promptly and does a good job in submitting his monthly accountings.Dexter E. Rostodt

SECRETChief of Station, Mexico CityChief, WH DivisionADMIN/CONTRACTSJeremy A. BENADUMReference: HMMT-100521. Reference asked Headquarters guidance in determining possible adjustment in the Quarters Allowance for Jeremy K. BENADUM, Career Agent. Reference stated:--BENADUM purchased his local residence 1 December 1964 for $50,200 and cost of utilities average $98 monthly.--Although the current maximum Quarters Allowance for BENADUM is $4,700 per annum, the Station has been paying at the rate of $4,128.96 per annum.--Reference forwarded a list of BENADUM's estimates of utilities costs and a LNPURE memo on personally owned quarters.2. The formula described in Para 3 of the LNPURE memo has been used in prior cases and is that which is also used by the Allowance Committee. Based on this formula, 10% of $50,200 (original purchase price) plus $1,176 (yearly utilities), total $6,196. The amount granted BENADUM would presumably be the maximum unless the Station had determined a lesser rate was applicable due to cover or operational reasons.3. Using the effective date (5 October 1969) of the current Quarters Allowance rate $4,700 ($4,100 plus $600 for dependents) minus the rate being paid, $4,128.96 represents an increase of $571.04 per year or $47.58 per month.(continued)Distribution: 2-COS, Mexico CitySECRETWil Contracts (19 March 70)1-C/WHB&F1-C WIL. 11-WIH.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Jeremy K. BENADUMTHROUGH : Head of Career ServiceSUBJECT : Retirement Planning1. In order to assist employees in planning for their eventual retirement, it is the practice of the Agency to notify each employee at a point in service five years prior to the date of scheduled retirement. I am, therefore, taking this opportunity to advise you that you are scheduled to retire in August 1975.2. The prospect of retirement from the Agency deserves serious thought and careful planning so that you may make the transition to the next phase of life with purpose and confidence. To assist you in this regard, the Agency will make available to you various resources which are attuned to the needs of prospective retirees. In October 1970, the Agency will conduct a Retirement Information Seminar to which you will be invited. Your spouse, if you are married, may accompany you to this seminar. Following the seminar, you will be invited by the Retirement Counselor for your Directorate to an individual pre-retirement counseling session (or more than one, if you wish); this phase of retirement planning will be tailored solely to your own particular situation and circumstances and will be within the context of the retirement system under which you will retire. The individual counseling sessions are intended to give you a wide range of information on such matters as estimates of your annuity, survivor benefits, life and health insurance, Social Security, taxes, relocation and movement of household effects and assistance in obtaining other employment, if appropriate. In addition to the sessions with your Retirement Counselor, you will be invited to avail yourself of selected literature on all aspects of retirement.3. Some persons who wish to retire voluntarily prior to the scheduled date, or who wish to commence their planning as early as possible, prefer to work with their Retirement Counselor well before the time he would normally contact them. If you believe you would benefit from such an earlier start on your personal planning, you are invited to contact the Retirement Counselor responsible for your Directorate; he is assigned from your Directorate to the Retirement Affairs Division, 212 Magazine Building in Rosslyn, on telephone extension 3328.4. Experience has amply demonstrated that careful planning facilitates the transition to retirement. I recommend, strongly, that you avail yourself of the services the Agency offers you in planning your own retirement.![signature of Robert S. Wettles]Robert S. WettlesDirector of Personnel
