RMD, This project is responsive to Priority A3d and f of the Related Mission Directive for Station Mexico City (approved October 1963). This priority reads in part: "obtai nformation on the abili e e Governmen of other powerful political groups such as 2 ee 2, and through continued development and inf “leve contacts." As an ancillary measure, the project cou contribute to MHSPAWN objectives of the RMO under certain circumstances where use of right-wing platforms ana urganizations is merited. 3. Background, oa. Developments Leading '.p to Project. (1) Mexico, politically, is a country in which, increasingly, a centrist political concensus is developing based on the impact of education and economic development. On either side though of this growing central political spectrum are extreme ‘left and extreme right wings which are . quite active and quite vocal and which have an influence in “the form of individuals, organizations, and movements greatly out of proportion to their numbers. Political disturbances and efforts to induce lack of stability eminate in the main from these two extreme wings. As the centrist force grows slowly, it is possible and probable. that these two wings will intensify their efforts and become more and more radical. The Station has intelligence coverage of the extreme left~ wing, but has neglected the equally.important extreme right- wing when, in the final analysis, any threat to Mexican political stability by fomenting unrest and incidents does, and will continue to, eminate from the right-wing as well as the left-wing. Assumin g that, as indicated in the present RMD, the long range national policy objectives of the U.S. toward Mexico are to encourage a stable democratic government and political environment, then coverage of the right-wing is required if for no other reason than meeting normal Station responsibilities for political reporting, HBFINCH contacts in.this area have been, and probably will continue to be, virtually nil, in fact, at present in this area HBF INCH contacts are non-existent.

Contact with him is covered by a social relationship between his case officer and.himself; this is easily maintained. given the large American community in Mexico City. He hes had no formal intelligence training other than that he received from the Army during World War Ii and on the job with KUBARK. Control of Subject is no problem inasmuch as he is an American citizen and has had considerable experience with KUBARK by now, His motivation is that of an attraction to this type of work, being a U.S. citizen in a foreign area, natural concern forhis business interests, and, . probably, the compensatory return From KUBARK. He is witting of his KUBARK association and, aside from his World War {1 intelligence experience with ODIBEX, in 1961 he had an intelligence relationship with. ODIBEX which has long since been terminated. (2) LICHANT/I1.

There has been no problems in control since essentially. Subject under- stands that this is a business relationship with certain requirements involved for it to be sustained. Subject's motivation is that of an intellectually-convinced conservative who has common objectives and outlook with LIHUFF/1 on political and economic matters plus the financial aspect of the LIHUFF/1 relationship. Subject is not witting of KUBARK or ODYOKE interest in his activities and reporting. He has no known contacts with other intelligence or security services, past or present. .- b.

This, bb ok 3 i however, Is not seen as anything except a very remote contin- i gency due to the Government of Mexico's dependence on the U.S. | tourist trade, in a general war, It fs probable that LUHUFF/1 i i £ sorters Srey would be able to continue In place without too much difficulty | and would be willing to continue operating on current objectives or to undertake entirely new operations against new targets.
