“~ rey -~ } CLACKETT, that an intensive effort was made to train the team members and to '; place them under the-supervision of a full time team leader. As mentioned above, CLACKETT has done‘an excellent job during the past few months in getting the team ready for future operational assignments. 2. The Station plans, during the coming year, to increase the strength of the LITERSEY team by at least two agenta and one car. Thies would then give a total LIJERSEY complement of six agents and three radio cars. The Station will continue to take all necessary precautions not to rush the development of the team nor to give it assignments which are too complicated and too difficult. It is anticipated that the team will begin some surveillance work within the next month on targets connected with plans for an expanded Communist Party pene- tration program. IV. PERFORMANCE OF PRINCIPAL AGENTS IN TERMS OF PRODUCTION, SECURITY AND COVER. . . af hts . A. Oliver G. SCANTLING - As should be expected from a well trained and motivated agent, SCANTLING's production during the period under review was excellent. His production is in the category of operational information rather than positive intelligence and is based on leads and investigations given him by the Station, He never fails to do a thorough and detailed siled job on all assignments given to him. He is an unusually valuableprincipal pal agent.> There have been no security problems or developments during the past year in connection with SCANTLING's assignments, Likewise, hie cover is very good and places him in a position to maintain his work for KUBARK for many years to come. B. Raymond H. GERENDE - Since GERENDE's marriage in December 1958, his performance has improved to a marked degree, He has become one of the Station's most dependable agenta in terms of promptness for meetings, completing operational assignments aa rapidly as possible and in doing any task, regardless of how menial it may be. Insofar as the Station and GERENDE know, his cover with LISTERINE's firm has held up very well, In fact, GERENDE recently was able to negotiate a sales contract with a customer having a very large sales capacity for the product manufactured by LISTERINE's firm, Thia, of course, endears GERENDE to LISTERINE in addition to contributing to GERENDE's cover employment. The only significant security incident pertaining, in part, to GERENDE was in connection with LLENTRAP (please see HMMA-13951, 16 October 1959, for details). Cc. Simon D, CLACKETT - CLACKETT's performance has definitely measured up to the standards expected by the Station. He has proved that he is conscientious, dependable and very quick in grasping the details of clandestine activities. He will undoubtedly continue to improve his personal performance as
14-00000 - procedures as outlined above, he gains more experience, ‘There have been no security problems or incidents in connection with CLACKETT's assignment to this Station, Although the notional cover provided by Headquarters hag held up very well during the past few montha, - the Station had hopes of placing him in LILABEL's firm and obtaining Inmigrante . papers for him, However, for reasons mentioned in other correspondence, this ‘cover arrangement did not work out. The Station is continuing efforts to locate another suitable local cover job for CLACKETT. Ve CONTACT AND COMMUNICATION, ~ A A. Oliver G, SCANTLING - The Station Case Officer meets with SCANTLING én the average of three times each week, For regular meetings, a total of eight prearranged contact points are used alternately with SCANTLING ''walking the beat" and being picked up by the Case Officer in the latter's car. This procedure enables both the agent and the cage officer to check themselves and to check each other for possible surveillance. Meetings are generally of short duration, seldom more than 30 minutes, and are held in the car. It is possible for SCANTLING to get in touch with his case officer by telephone, and vice versa, in case an unscheduled meeting ig necessary. SCANTLING and the Station aré currently working on the details of an emergency means of contact utilizing SCANTLING's wife's relatives in PBPRIME.
