Scaletti PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF SUBJECT: - - | knew Phil during the entire time he was in Branch | at Headquarters, and during his tour in Mexico. We came to Mexico PCS at the same time. ~ This means { knew him from. 1965 until he resigned. {mn Headquarters our relationship was limited to business in the office, and that. was ‘not very. frequent. We sat in different rooms. He handled SB matters. 1 did the routing of all Branch correspondence which meant 1 decided what he was to -see--this was anything affecting Soviet/Satellite/ Chinese matters.. My main_areas. of responsibility were. in the support field. Even though we were both processing out at the same time, we did not exchange stories much. However, since | traveled as a "Tourist"* and was not therefore allowed to bring anything into Mexico, Phil offered to have some of my things packed with his household effects since he said he owned hardly anything. .One day my husband and | took sone boxes of things over to his apartment before work. {| do not remember the name of the apartment development in Virginia, ‘but it was the garden type. His apartment was nice--fairly new but sparsely furnished. He helped us)unload the things a.d take them upstairs. Then we parted. | seem to recal ine had some trouble witn his car that morning and we dropped him off at a repair shop on the way to the office. a At this time, in Washington, Phil was very pleasant, was nice to work witn. He did not appear to be pushy, even thougn tedid everything he could to get the Mexican assignment. At this time, despite his family problems, ne did not appear to let these affect nis work. At least from my position he seemed to get his work done, not to procrastinate, not to take a lot of time off. From the gossip | heard,. he was separated, and was anxious to get any assignment overseas. When the possidility of this Olympic job opened up in Mexico he grabbed’ it. As | recall, C/WH/1 was sympathetic toward nim also, and was happy to be able to help Phil at this particular time. SECRET/SENSITIVE - #o. |

We did not go and pick them up. In thanks, we invited him over to supper one evening. (Willard C. CURTIS had given permission for individual officers to have Phil over to dinner if no outsiders were present and prior permission was obtained.) | think { got permission from the DCOS at that time. There were only the three of us (Phil, my husband, and myself--no maid, no other invited guests) There was no discussion of office. My husband knew Phil was with | BKTRUST and was working on the Olympics in Mexico. Conversation was light. During dinner,. as | recall, we talked about business in Mexico, and he mentioned, his father was in the dry-cleaning business, and he thought he might be interested in’ bringing into Mexico some used dry cleaning equipment which js worth nothing in the United States, and set up some dry cleaning establishments in Mexico.. The “discussion was merely in generalities--nothing specific as to timetable or even if phil were serious about this. About a week later Phil brought his car over and my husband helped him.work on his car-~adjusting it to the altitude. This must have been around September 1997. : Shortly thereafter, when Laura B. UTSTINE was in Mexico TDY (she worked in WH/1 and also knew Phil at Headquarters), Phil had my husband, me, and UTSTINE over to his apartment (on Insurgentes Sur just off the Viaducto) for dinner. It was a huge. apastment, sparse ky furnished. We had an enjoyable evening, very light conversation. Talked mostly about Mexico, At this time he showed us he nad several bedrooms ( forget how many) and hopefully his sons would be able to visit him. During his tour in Mexico | only saw Phil in the Station occasionally--and then just in passingin the nalls. Once after | heard about Phil's having kidnapec his boys, | thought | saw them (can't remember why | thought they were his) in front of the Embassy with a. maid. | never saw Phil in the Embassy proper nor at any Embassy functions (1 was tourist and did not circulate in the Embassy). During his tour in Mexico, Phil remained pleasant but was certainl v6 fiud to talk to. After Phil. resigned | saw him once. After Jolin PROBERT arrived as COS, | saw Fnil along the side of the Embassy. SECRET/SENSITIVE | ,.

He did not know of operations in particular except possibly LIARM-1 (now terminated) who we hoped to use against the Cuban olympic target.

For this reason, and to assess +: ex-LIADLIB-s present state of mind, Headquarters sent someone to talk with LIADLIB-1. in the spring of 1972. At that time he still seemed bitter against BKTRUST. .
