14-00000 SUBJECT: Comments on Book V of the Final Report of the U.S. Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities . 1. Book V of the SSC Final Report, titled The Investigation of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: Performance of the Intelligence Agencies, presents a number of issues that address themselves to the conscience of the Agency. The criticisms of CIA are based on a series of presentations of how various investigative leads were handled, and on the non-reporting of various Agency operational activities that the SSC Final Report judges to have been relevant to the Warren Commission inquiry. 2. A stated thesis of the SSC Final Report is that the operations of the intelligence agencies against Cuba exercised a negative influence on the quality of their support for the Warren Commission investigation. The following statements appear in the Report: "It (the SSC Report) places particular emphasis on the effect their Cuban opera- tions seemed to have on the investigation." Page 2. "They (senior CIA officials) should have realized that CIA operations against Cuba, particularly operations involving the assassination of Castro, needed to be con- sidered in the investigation. Yet, they directed their subordinates to conduct an investigation without telling them of these vital facts." Page 7.

I recommend that Lee H, Nigren be promoted from GS-13 to GS-14. Mr. Wigren has been in grade since May 1962 and is. now a GS-13, Step 8. He currently occupies a GS-15, Operations Officer, Branch Chief position. . ; ; “2. Mr. Wigren was born 1 December 1923. fle received a BA degree in Russian Studies from Yale University in 1947 and.” an MA degree in History from Harvard University in 1950. Ke entered on duty with CIA as a GS-06 clerk in March 19SL. He subsequently attained professional status as an Intelligence Officer in 1952 and since that time hus served variously as Intelligence Officer, Area Operations Officer, Biographics Officer, Instructor, and Operations Officer in DIV/D, Europe Division, SE Division, OTR, and Since 1908 the Counterintelli- ‘gence Staff. 3. Most of Mr. Wigren's career has involved CE and CI matters. He has been primarily concerned with various aspects “of the Counterintelligence research and analysis activity of SE Division and, since 1968, the Counterintelligence Staff. In the course of his various assignments, he has developed a broad and deep substantive knowledge of the Soviet intelli- gence and security organs and their activities which has meade him one of our more knowledgeable: and effective CI analysts. Ile is careful and thorourh in his research, he writes well, and he has an established reputation within and without CIA as an interesting and effective lecturer concerning counter- intellipence matters. His career record reflects: a consistently professional performance of above-average quality in his vari- ous CIA assignments. Additionally, that record is documented by several letters of appreciation from other US Government agencies and foreign liaison services for the highly profes- Sional assistance provided then by Mr. -Wigren in the counter- intelligence field. 70? ese5ed cu ay On ato 5 ‘ Teter Sette mere reer,

He manages the complex teS of six staff officers and nine contract person- Seciated with this Branch and is responsible for the Several research programs in which they are involved. He a Strives to direct and combine the best talents of the person- hel uncer his supervision toward the achievement of his 2 Branch's objectives while remaining sensitive to the. personal - and career interests of his employees, He is especially effec- tive in dealing with the several contract personnel (including ‘former defectors) under his supervision who, because of their professional status and diverse ethnic backgrounds, some- times require especially understanding treatment, 5.

Mr.| Def the WH Haiti Desk called on 25 May 1967 and stated that they had been Ot aan need by am asset im New York that Rene Juare FBI in New York City on that arrest of Leon had been issued by the District Court for the arraigament ta Meret 196t, te ene attr arvest for kis arraignment in March 1967. He was indicted along with _ °3 ~ Relande Masferrer fer plotting an invasion of Haiti, Mr/_ eaid that they had no operational interest in Leon, but their sources had indicated Leon might be, considered a political asect in the post Davallier era in Haiti. Mr, ked my opinion as te whether or not this possible use of Leon might have an effect on ges being dropped against him. I told Mr. that it seemed highly unlikely that the Judge or the United States Attorney would consider dropping the charges since Leon had failed to appear befere the court when eo ordered, 2 Icalled Mr. Morris, Internal Security Divisien, Department of Justice, the attorney handling both the Macferrer and Bosch prosecutions, and teld him that Leen had been arrested. it wae in a previous conversation with Mr. Morris that he teld me that the United States Attorney expected to obtain the indictment against Besch on 31 May 1967. Mer. Merria said that both the United States Attorney and the Department of Justice were considering postpening the date of bringing the indictment against Besech because of the problems which had develeped in Miami after a Cuban refugee named Rivere had been arrested. The information available indicates that Orlande Besch has been the leader of the protest demonstrations against Rivere’s arrest. & would therefore eeem prudent to delay the indictment rather then precipitate greater demonstrations in the Cuban comununity ef Miami.

Neen 3. “ should also be semexabored that Orlando Booch a £ was acquitted of extortion charges in December 1966 tn the Miami ~ ~ * Dietelet Couct, and it ie therefore considered unlikely that any. jary will convict Besch ef the current Arms Central violation charges. <A separate problem which may (influence postponement ef the indictment is the continuing publicity generated by the New Orleans District Attorney with hie investtgstion of the assacsination — .
