MANIFF said he would do something about it. Twoor | three days later, anothers frierd, Ramon VASQUEZ Montenegro, whom Source had known at the Ministry of Industry, came to see Source, saying that MANIFF had mentioned that Source was having . trouble-with the militia and wanted to change jobs.

The form included full name, date and place of birth, physical description, data on relatives (parents, brothers, and sisters), and addresses at which hé had lived for the preceding tem years.

This vas an essential step because payrolls were always made out in pseudonym. The normal pseudonym consists of a given name and a surname, and can be used by the given name, surname, or both together. Since each officer chooses his own pseudunym, there is. sometimes dupli- cation, with two persons choosing the same name. When this happens nothing ig done if the two persons ere working in different departments-of the DGI. If for any reasem there is a shift in personne) @hich brings the two persons with the same pseudonyns, first or: Aast- nance, into the same department, one cr the other wil have to change his pseudonya ia order to avoid confusion. Immediately _u upon joining: the DGI, Source was assigned to the Salvador Desk “in tho Seccion Central (Central American Section) ef the LN Department, where he continued to work. He was started at once on reading the desk operational files and very soon was given operational files from other aesans to also read. He re- ceived only minimal security briefings and was told to invent for himself some sort of reasonable corer job. Source kept his old Ministry of Intornal Trade identification card to use as cover. As soon a3 eniployment was mentioned to him he was told that he - was being recruited by "M" and that it was for csplionage, S-E-C-R-E-T NO FOREIGN DISSEM 7] De Wa eee
