utilized in Panama Junder the Travel Control Project. He stated
that Subject has been overseas for approximately one and a half
years and that his contract period will probably expire within six
months. He advised that in answer to question "a", Subject can be
made available for testimony before the Subversive Activities
Control Board in the United States if necessary. He stated that
'Subject's position was not such that he was indispensable to the
Project and that if it was absolutely necessary, he could be
recalled to the United States within twenty-four hours. In refer-
ence to question "b", Mrs (CALDWELL) advised that there was no reason
why the Subject could not be interviewed by the FBI at his place
of duty. In reference to question "c", Mr. (CALDWELL) reported that
