KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 19926 July 1972MEMORANDUM FOR: The Acting DirectorFedoral Eureau of InvestigationSUBJECT: Information Provided the Federal Bureauof Investigation Regarding the WatergateIncident1. As a result of our conversation of 5 July, I would   like to summarize the information which has been provided to   you by the Agency in memorandum form (attention Mr. Arnold   Parham) since the first series of memoranda on the subject   beginning 20 June.2. On 20 June separate memorandums were sent to you   concerning Messrs. Frank Anthony Sturgis, Eugenio Rolando   Martinez Careaga, Bernard L. Barker and Virgilio Conzales.   The papers detailed available information on the subjects.   We said that Mr. Frank Anthony Sturgis had never been re-   cruited by the Agency, that he was a soldier of fortune but   that he had been associated with an Agency contact, Hr.   Eugenio Rolando Martinez Careaga, since the early sixties.   Their relationship was built on a mutual interest in Cuban   exile activities. Mr. Martinez was recruited in January 1961   and has performed a variety of tasks for the Agency on Cuban   matters up until June of this year. lle has been on a $100.00   a month retainer since 1969. Mr. Martinez is a business   associate of Fr. Bernard Barker in a real estate firm in Miani.   Mr. Barker was a regular contact of the Federal Bureau of   Investigation in Cuba when turned over to the Agency in mid-1959. He was used as a source of information in Cuba until      evacuated in early 1960. He was hired by the Agency in 1960      for work among exile groups and was terminated by the Agency      on 31 July 1966. No Agency contact has been maintained with      him since that date.

# Question SHOW MUCH MONEY IS IN THE BUDGET FOR PAYMENT TO CONTRACTEMPLOYEES? SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD RELATIONSHIPTO THE CIA AND WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE WATERGATEBURGLARY WERE SAID TO BE CONTRACT EMPLOYEES. IS THISTHE CASE? TO WHAT EXTENT ARE THE SAME CONTROLSPLACED ON YOUR CONTRACT EMPLOYEES AS ARE PLACEDON REGULAR STAFF EMPLOYEES?Proposed ReplyThe CIA budget for 1975 includes ($279.5 million) for thesalaries and benefits of (14,000) staff employees (end-of-year ceiling)and($32.6 million for the same expenses for (2,348) contractemployees.With respect to the relationship to the CIA of the sevenindividuals involved in the Watergate burglary, one of them at thetime of the break-in was a part-time contract employee (Martinez),one was a former full-time contract employee (Barker), two wereretired staff employees (Hunt and McCord). The remainingindividuals (Liddy, Sturgis and Gonzalez) were never connectedwith CIA in any capacity. (See attached sheet for details on theseseven individuals). These facts have been set forth previously inthe testimony of __________ before __________ and we believe members of the Appropriations Committee are fully aware of all significant developments in this area.Not all contract employees have the same type of contract.Some are subject to all the controls that are placed on regular staffemployees. Others, however, are employed for a specific purpose,generally limited in time, for the use of their talents and/or disciplinesin meeting a particular need of the Agency, and these are not allsubject to all the controls which apply to full-time staff employees.Both Barker and Martinez were in this latter category of contractemployees. The obligations of such contract employees are as statedin their contracts.
