and Support)
1. Reference is made to a memorandum dated 17 April 1958 from
WH Division through CI/OA requesting that the Covert Security Approval
granted on July 1957 be amended to permit Subject's utilization as
a career agent in Mexico City under Project LEDGE.
This will confirm the verbal Covert Security Approval granted
to Mr. Larry Sulc, WH Division on 3 June 1958 for the use described
above.
-
2. In accordance with the provisions set forth in Clandestine
Services Instruction No. 10-5 and Clandestine Services Instruction
Field No. 10-5, a covert security approval is granted for the use of
the Subject, as described in your request as set forth in paragraph 1;
above.
3. Subjects of covert security approvals are not to represent
themselves as; nor are they to be represented as, employees of CIA.
4. Your attention is called to the fact that a covert security
approval does not constitute complete compliance with the provisions
of CIA Regulation 10-210. Therefore, if you should desire at a later
date to change the status or use of this individual, a request for
approval to cover any proposed change should be submitted to this
office.
5. This approval becomes invalid in the event the Subject
services are not utilized within six months of the date of this
memorandum.

Recommendations:

the Office of Security, a Covert Security Approval for his new assignment in Mexico City and
the results of his LCFLUTTER are satisfactorily resolved. Also, on condition that should th
Office of Security requisé a clearance and LCFLOWER on this agent's wife, a clearance is
Lesund and LCFLUTTER results are entisfactorily resolved.
A new request for CBA for Bubject's use in Madco City was submitted to the Office
of Security on 24 April 1958. When the office of Security issued Subject's leat CSA on 3 July
1957, they recommended that subject be afforded a polygraph as soon as possible. Subject wa
given an LCFLUTEER a few days ago and although Bubject ran clean the polygraph operator begen
getting same reaction; or hits, regarding the subject's vifo. There is som derogatory infer-
mation in the Office of Security on that is believed to be the Subject's wife and sister-in-
Lev.
3. The Office of Security has not reached a final decision regarding CSA and LCFLUFER
for Subject's vifo. They have stated, however, that unless the wife can be cleared and
LCFLUEGER results are clean, it is doubtful thether a new clearance would be issued for the
career agent.

1. Concurrent with this memorandum a covert security
clearance is being issued to enable the Subject's conversion from
contract agent to career agent for use as principal agent for
Project AMPRARCH in Cuba under non-official cover.
2. This is to advise that information has been received
from a confidential source of the Office of Security concerning
Argentina CORDERO Calderon and her sister, Counsuelo, who are
believed to be the Subject's wife and sister-in-law respectively.
According to a December 1944 report, the above individuals were
described as Costa Rican citizens then in Panama under
suspicion and members of the Russian Ballet team of Pedro and
Lidia CHUPRINE. Argentine is known to speak and understand
German. She was formerly married to Pedro MARZAL, reportedly
a German national and formerly on both British and U. S.
Proclaimed List. She is reliably reported to have made pro-
German remarks and is pro-Gerzan in her sympathies. It was
further reported that both of the above individuals have at
times attempted to secure information from members of the
American Armed Forces.
3. In view of the above information, it is requested that
current overseas traces and investigation be conducted on the
Subject as well as on his wife and sister-in-law, Counsuelo,
and other members of his wife's immediate family and that the
results thereof be furnished this office.
4. The covert security clearance which is being issued
in this case is made contingent upon the faovrable results of
the requested overseas traces and investigation.

Re: AMPHODARCH/Arthur G. VAIVADA
CI Staff notes that training for VAIVADA is scheduled to commence on
the 
same date in the same city as 
the training scheduled for Colonel
PEREZ and Lt. CASTANO of the 
Cuban BRAC. This situation seems inherently
dangerous and unwarranted by the 
circumstances as known to CI Staff.
Pending further justification 
CI Staff cannot concur in the training as i
requested, but would of course 
concur in the training for VAIVADA if the
locale were shifted to another 
city such as New York.
(This is basically an operational or an operational security matter.
CI/R&A/TRB therefore urges that CI/OPS
/WH and CI/OA discuss the problem
with the desk, and resolve it if 
possible. CI/R&A/TRB will of course
defer to CI/OPS AND CI/OA in 
this matter.)

COMMENTS
01/055
CI/OPS/WH does not concur with the CI/R & A recommendations as set forth for
the following reasons:
1. The security compromise would only stem from the two BRAC officers
identifying the VAIVADA affiliation and training on behalf of this agency.
This appears extremely remote as the desk advised there is no indication
that the ERAC officers know VAIVADA either by name or sight.
2. While VAIVADA is being trained, his wife will be attending citizen-
ship classes in D.C. preparing for her citizenship examination before
returning to Cuba. Consequently, it would be a financial drain for VAIVADA
to stay in New York City and his wife in D.C. In addition, certain per diem
costs would be incurred by the Case Officer traveling to New York City to..
monitor some of the OTR training.
3. The desk will instruct OTR of this joint training aspect and as
a precautionary measure, request that training sites, hours, etc. do not
overlap.

Comments and Recommendations on Proposed Covert Training
of Arthur G. VAIVADA
REFIRENCE: Covert Training Request for Arthur G. VAIVADA of
4 December 1956
1. Arthur G. VAIVADA has worked principally, and successfully co,
on CP penetration operations since employment by the Agency. His cur-
rent work involves the handling of a net of CP penetration 
agents and
informants. ICD concurs in general with the projected training scheduled
for subject but recommends that considerable emphasis specifically 
be
placed on anti-CP penetration operations (1.0., principles and practions
of penetration of the international Communist 
movement).
2. In addition, subject should also be given materials and brief-
ings on Communism in his area of operations. It is suggested 
that be
bo given the following materials to Bay and discuss 
during the phase
of training recommended above: "The Operational Pattern 
of 
International
Communism in Latin America" (a paper prepared by CI/
ICD) and "The Com-
munist Movement of Cuba" (a paper prepared by Miss Anne 
Kendall). 
These
materials may be borrowed either from CI/CD/WH (Hein
) or from WH/111/
Cuba (Boland).
3. Should OTR contemplate presenting in any form any of the CP
penetration case studies contained in FHB 52-865-4 (
"The CP 
Penetration
Program Issue No. 4) to subject during the training sessions
, CI/ICD .
(Hein extension 3919) should be consulted. Some 
of the material în
FUB 52-865-4 directly concerns VAIVADA's previous operational work,

7. Biographic Information
He
Subject was born in De Kalb, Illinois, on 20 June 1922.
received his primary and high school education in De Kalb and entered
the U.S. Army in 1940, later transferring to the U.S. Air Force. He
served as an operations and intelligence specialist, first in the
China-Burma theatre and later in Panama. He was discharged from the
service in 1945 with the grade of Technical Sergeant. After his dis-
charge he worked for a brief period as a laboratory technician in the
Sterling (Illinois) Silica-Gel corporation and then returned to the
Panama Canal Zone to marry Argentina CORDERO O., a Costa Rican girl,
in December 1945. For about four months he worked as a stevedore, and
labor foreman in the Canal Zone. In April 1946 he reenlisted in the
Air Force in the Canal Zone and was discharged three years later, in
1949.
Late in 1948 he had been recruited by the Agency, and on
1 June 1949 he became a CIA contract agent. It was originally planned
that he be used in Panama, but he was assigned instead to the HUMANOID
Project in Costa Rica. While there, he successfully handled a high-
lovel penetration of the Communist Party. In 1953 he was sent to
Headquarters for training, and in 1954 he was assigned to PESTCCESS
for a brief period. In July 1954 he signed a new contract in Washing-
ton whereby he became the new principal agent of Project A'PEDDARCH.
He has been under student cover and has worked for his b.A. degree
at the University of Habana.
Subject is happily married and is the father of two children.
He is fluent in Spanish and is well qualified to continue work in his
area of operations as shown by his past performance. He is also very.
versatile and has a wide range of outside interests, including sports,
photography, outdoor life, and many others.
8. Previous Training
VAIVADA previously received covert training at Headquarters
during the period 5 October through 25 November 1953, under the train-
ing alias of "VICKS." The training was of a comprehensive nature.
9. Project Objective - Area of Assignment
Objective of Project AMPHODARCH is to provide coverage of
Communist, leftist, revolutionary and other political activities at
the University of Habana, and the student-youth circles in general
in Cuba.

1. From information made available to this office it
appears that details concerning the exposure of the technical
surveillance of Juan Bosch and subsequent arrests were not
fully determined. It is believed probable that HUMANOID has
been compromised with the Costa Rican authorities.
2. It is understood that, with the exception of the
HUMANIST Project, HUMANOID is to continue inactive for an
undetermined period. Any further contemplated use of HJVANGID
should be coordinated with STC/SPB.
3. In view of his wife's and mother-in-law's Costa Rican
background and apparent connections and associations with
politically significant personalities, it is recommended
HUMANOID discontinue using his home to reproduce material
obtained in the HUMANIST Project.

the status of this agent which have affected our
evaluation of this agent.
