# CONCLUSION:1. SLOSS has lied in his most recent polygraph examination and has evidenced indications of deception in areas concerning divulging classified information to unauthorized individuals, association with a communist sympathizer and homosexual inclinations. SLOSS' reaction to the names of Jerry SEVERN and lya WOLSTON has not been fully explored. The polygraph operator has recommended further investigation and a repolygraph because the recent tests are inconclusive.2. SLOSS has been involved in an immoral and illegal extra-marital activity between a Staff employee and a former Staff employee where one of the parties was subjected to a blackmail attempt.3. The name J. SLOSS (possibly identical to Subject) appeared on a list of CIA employees found on the person of a self-designated "dis-affected American" arrested by the FBI for bank robbery in September 1963. This individual (mentally disturbed) with previous intelligence experience has declared that he was approached by Soviet Intelligence while and/or after he was in Mexico City in September 1962.4. It is suggested that the extent of the adverse security implications concerning SLOSS is such, that if SLOSS is ever found to be a security risk, the failure at this time to pursue an aggressive investigation of all his contacts and activities to resolve all areas of doubt could possibly lead to a conclusion that we have been remiss in our duties. The undersigned recommends the following action:a. That physical and technical surveillance of at least two weeks duration be made of SLOSS to determine his contacts and activities after working hours.b. That current seven way National Agency Checks be made on SLOSS.c. That Richard B. FISHER, a friend of SLOSS', characterized by him as having been involved in radical and left of center ideas while en undergraduate at Yale,be fully identified, his present location be ascertained and the degree of his association with LOSS be determined by a personal interview with FISHER.d. That Richard Case NAGELL be personally interviewed by the undersigned in the hope that by a sympathetic approach he may reveal how he came into the possession of the name J. SLOSS and other employees of CIA.

# DETAILS: AT EL PASO, TEXAS:Investigation in this matter is based on statements made by the subject subsequent to his arrest in El Paso, Texas, on September 20, 1963, on a bank robbery charge. Subject hinted that he might have been attempting to go to Cuba and that he really did not have the intention of robbing the State National Bank but committed the act due to the direction he had taken toward going to Cuba. A notebook which the subject had on his person when arrested made reference to Medical Aid to Cuba, Fair Play for Cuba Committee, the names of purported CIA Agents and other Information.The April 6, 1960, edition of "The New York Times" newspaper contained a full-page advertisement captioned "What Is Really Happening in Cuba," placed by the Fair Play for Cuba Committee (FPCC). This advertisement announced the formation of the FPCC in New York City and declared the FPCC intended to promulgate "the truth about revolutionary Cuba" to neutralize the distorted American press."The New York Times" edition of January 11, 1961, reported that at a hearing conducted before the United States Senate Internal Security Subcommittee on January 10, 1961, Dr. CHARLES A. SANTOS-BUCH identified himself and ROBERT TABER as organizers of the FPCC. He also testified he and TABER obtained funds from the Cuban Government which were applied toward the cost of the afore-mentioned advertisement.On May 16, 1963, a source advised that during the first two years of the FPCC's existence there was a struggle between Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP) elements to exert their power within the FPCC and thereby influence FPCC policy. However, during the past year this source observed there has been a successful effort by FPCC leadership to minimize the role of these and other organizations in the FPCC so that today their influence is negligible.

EP 65-951On May 20, 1963, a second source advised that the National Headquarters of the FPCC is located in Room 329 at 799 Broadway, New York City.

This source observed LEE has followed a course of entertaining and accepting the cooperation of many other organizations including the CP and the SWP when he has felt it would be to his personal benefit as well as the FPCC'S However, LEE has indicated to this source he has no intention of permitting FPCC policy to be determined by any other organization. LEE feels the FPCC should advocate resumption of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States and support the right of Cubans to manage their revolution without interference from other nations, but not support the Cuban revolution per se.The CP and the SWP have been designated pursuant to Executive Order 10450.CHRONOLOGICAL RECORD OF SUBJECT'S BACKGROUNDAugust 5, 1948A review on October 17, 1963, of the Military Service Records on file at the Military Personnel Records Center, St. Louis, Missouri, indicated that RICHARD CASE NAGELL, Serial Number 12 115 891, enlisted in the United States Army on August 5, 1948.November 28, 1954 to April 8, 1955On September 30, 1963, EP T-1 furnished the following information regarding RICHARD CASE NAGELL:The subject underwent treatment at the Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, D.
