Since both are basically CE/CI projects I think this is a great mistake. The amount of research in these projects necessarily requires a great amount of files research which| in his cover situation will not be iS will entail a greater amount of work able to do. for the inside case officer, defeating the purpose for which 2. The intoduction of was originally considered; freeing the inside case officer for developmental work. into the CIHAVOC Case will also intoduce one more step through which most of the vital information that CIHAVOC.2 produces must pass. For example, his info now goes thro ugh CIHAVOC-~1 to the case officer. With the addition off sd one more time consuming step will be added. 3. I am also of the firm opinion that different case officers should be used for these operations Since beth are penetrations of the same party and at times produce similar info. In addition, both are extremely sensitive and.the compromise of one could possibly lead to the compromise of the other. 4. If was assigned to[ | for the handling of a sensitive case which exposure would be embarrassing to the United States, such as a high level political penetration or a sensitive Soviet/Satellite Case then it would be well justified. However, I feel that his assignment as an outside case officer for these two activities is not since they could be better handled and serviced from the inside. Uf Seunel
