Returning to the cable of October 7th, 1969, . which you gant to the Chief of Station, the reference to a sanior case officer who might be dispatched to the Congo, is that a reference to the fact that Bissell was considering dispatching Justin O'Donnell? Mr. Tweedy. No other candidate, no other. I assume that , Jo who'it is. Mr. Baron. O'Donnell's account that he was askad by Bissell to go to the Congo to carry off ths assassination of Lumumba would fit here? Mr. Tweedy. Sure. Mr. Baron. The third country national rafarrad to in this - Cable and in other cables as someone you are considering dispatching to the Congo to halp with the oparation, would that ‘be QJWIN or WIROGUR? Mr. Tweedy. As I told you before, dufinitely not WDROGUE. Irgsumably this other fellow, whose identity and what he wes is very, very unclear to me. Mr. Barou. The agent that was runs Mr. Tweedy. Yas. This would have been the man that would worked with Justin O'Donnell if it had all happened. Mr. Baron, That was QJWIN. I will repraseut to you that QIWEN was the aqent who wags supervised by Justin O'Donnell. TOP SECRET
Mr. Tweedy. We read that that time, which is my recollection of it. That is the person I am sure. Me. Baron. Let me corract myself here. I will rapreasant to you that QUWIN wan the agent that was recruited by FArno SS i verg and gant vy (GEE the Congo for | use by O'Donnell and perhaps by the Chief of Station. Is that consistent with your recollection? Mr. Tweaely. No, it is not consistant with my recollection. It is cartainly consistant with what I read the last time I saw ! you, which I have no reason to disnute. T just cannot remamber the bliqhter at all. Mr. Baron. As Fxhibit LO, let us introduce a cable of war ® PAUL October 15th, 1960, which ia not sent in the YoOPROP channel. te ~ 14 It is marked ron car in the space whars sansitivity indicators are usually placed. {The document. referred to was marked Tweady Exntibit No. 10 for identification.)

This cable requests the views of the Chief of Station on suggastions A, Bo and C for various covart operations. 02 In paragraph C, there is a reference tofTEROAK . Mr. Tweedy, wa have received tha representation from the | CIA that that was a cryptonym used to refar to Lumumba. Ta that consistent with your intereptation of the cable? Mr. Baron. It is indeed. Mr. Tweedy. This paragraph C says in part: “Only direct ) action we can now stand behind is to support timmobolizing or i Oe . ! arresting GBROAK, desirabla as more dafinitiva action night he. * Any action taken would have to be antiraly Congolese.” Now, you signed this cable, but it was sot sant in the special sensitivity channel that dealt with Gottliab's mission wanna fave to the Corgd? Before We discuss this cable, let us also introduce inte the record as Exhibit ll another cable which you siqned on October 15, 1960 which was sunt in the YOpRop channel to the Chisf of Station. {The documant referred te waa marked Tweady Exhibit Mo. Li for idtentiticetic:.) TOP SECRET
1 Mr. Baron. This contains the following language: "You 2 | will note from cable through normal channel currently being Tk transmitted” then it continues “on YQPROP suggestions. You will probably receive mora along these lines as stumbling bloc [dlifhoax represents increasingly apparent all atudying | | | ; Congo situation closely and his disposition spontaneously | becomes number ona conaideration." 3 Mr. Tweedy. I think by that, I think it is perfectly God- awful Engligh. Mr. Baron. Thea cable continues -- Mr. Twaady. Obviously that meana that everyone one talked “to said thera is no solution to the Congo as long as Lumumba ‘atays in a position of powar or influence there. That ia whet WARD & Paw. . that means. Mr. Baron. Tha cabla’continues: "Raisa above so you not * confused by any apparent duplication. This channel ramains “for specific purpose you discussed with ccellsagua and also remains highest priority." Now, dows this pair ef cables indicata that at this point Oe sooo! despite the indication in thse first cable that we lookad at these "direct action would be limited to entirely Congolese action" _ Wapturatian the actual positio: of yourself and others at Headquarters involved in this oneration was that exploration of an agssassine rey Street SF tion mission remained the highest priority for the Chief of aio? Station?
EA tor Pee Lake erentend Mr. Tweedy. I think that is accurate. We had come to the end of the road, at least- temporarily on the YQPROP aspect and for the time being we were in no position to appreve anything but: what wae discussed in the ba” &. cable. Nonetheless, as long as the threat to the Congo from Lumumba existed, there remained @ high priority to search for means to take care of the QPROP Planning aspects. Mr. Baron. When the cable refers to the specific you diacusaed with colleague -< Mr. Tweedy. This ds assassination with Gottlieb?” | @UYe. Mr, Baron. It then says: This purpose remains hiqhest whe ® PAUL , | priority. Would that not indicate to the Chief of Station : | that he should proceed to find a way that Lumumba could be | aseasninated? Mr. Tweedy. What this would mean to the Chief of Station }v i was that he should retain exploration of possible means of assassinating Lumumba as highast priority. He should continua “to geek means to do this, not to do it. Mr. Baron. Again, you are maintaining you hava just made yourself clear, as far as you ware concarnsed, you wara still f | Woasmimetos, 19 0 20003 “asking him to explore and not implamant at this polnt? Me. Tweedy. Nothing alse but. Da, “4r. Baron. Who would have had access to or received 410 Fast Street oy c:  diatributioa of the first cable we looked at which travelled ir TOP SECRET
WARS @ Faus BED Fart Street S| Mrasroegon, 2 C. 2000} the/WIFLAT channel? Mr. Tweedy. I€ would have been restrictad, but not as restricted as the other. Mr. Baron. Would somebody at the Embassy conceivably | have been cut in on cable traffic in the channel that dealt with a operations? Mr. Tweedy. Could be, certainly. J Mr.. Baron. In othar’ words, thé porpose of: sanding -a . #@econd cable on the same day which dealt with action against Lumumba was: what? Mx. Tweedy. The simple reason I think -- Ir say I think, bacause I cannot tell you so -- as I said a few minutes age, obviously you'd coma tamporardily to the and of the lins on f fe) “i ” _ || YQPROP. Measures taken to shore up{WiRUAR Rife, position in the | Congo, (abutul would have served to support the géneral objective, i of containing Lumumba by whatever means. It ia all part of tha ; sama purpose. Once again referring t6 the oriqinel cable from Mr. Pullas which said all means, in effect, and I think the reason I'm putting this in tha opan channel, the onen channel is still -- Mr. Baron. Simply tha ordinary channysl used batwaen yourself -- Mr. Tweedy. Still a restrictad channel. RIBAT is a reatricted thing, in any evant. This could have been discussed with the Ambassador or the Embassy, if any aspect of it geemed TOP SECRET

Mr. Tweedy. The Rmbagsy would not have been shown this cable anyway. We do not show the traffic to the Embassy; we discussed it, 02 Mr. Baron. It would have been propr for the fiiPpLar cable to be convayed in some ma miner ? Mr. Tweedy. To be discussed. Mr. Baron. Batween the Chief of Station and perhaps the Ambassador? Mr. Tweady. Discussed; only orally, Mr. Baron. By contrast, the YOPROP cable clearly would have been restricted to the Chiaf of Station? Mr. Twaedy. I have no reason to believe that the YOPROP business was discussed with the Ambassador, I do not beliave it was, although Mr. Dulles, in his original cable, sai «© he could, if hs wanted to. Mr. Baroa. Let us introduce as the final exhibit for ‘the moment Fxhibit 12, a cable of october 17, 1960 going to ‘ Jadwin from the Chief of Station, In this cable, the Chief of Station is rasponding to vour * suqgestion that a senior casa officer might ba dispatched to Tprop Operation.

Srna {dene 207) $64-FO0R HAR & PRUE PET "SECR Mr. Baron. The Chief of Station then makes a suggestion | in the fourth paragraph for equipment that might be provided if such a case officer ware to be sent. Ha ays, "If case officar sent, recommend ilaadquarters pouch soonest high powared foreign | | make rifle with telescopic sight and silencer. Hunting good | | nere when lights right. However as hunting rifles now forbidden, j| would kwep rifle in office pending opening of hunting season.” Would you take that to be a racommendation by the Chief i I of Station, if a case officer was sent to tha Congo te concen- er trate on the YQPROP operation, he should be provided with the {i ‘kind of weapon that would be suited for a sniper shot at Lumumba ? Mr. Tweedy. Yes. Not necessarily to be fired by the caSe officer, obviously not, but at least used in the operatio.:. Mr. Baron. This reference to the hunting seéson can be ' taken 4s & reference obliqualy to the fact that Lumumba was in UN custody and that there would not be, in affact, "“opan Season” Or, him until he showed his face outside of UN custody. Would that be a fair interpretation? Mr. Tweedy. I would not have interpreted it quite the Bame way. I would have interpreted it this way, which was if it, as a result of Ilkadquartears suqaestion that a rifle be providad to the Station, the Station would coms up with an operational plan involving the use of the rifte which Headdue: t-24 would aporove, and that thus, tn of fact, tha oparation was on TOP SECRET

Saad tenets y take a@ break, and that is, returning to ‘Sidney Tottlieb's | account of his conversation with Richard Bissell about -making fl preparations for carrying off an assassination against an \ African foreign leader if it were required, Gottlieb said in that context that he had higher authority for such an operation. i _are Gottlieb, also said that he clearly interprated Biasell to mea:: that Rissell had Presidential authority for such an operation? Did you have any knowledga of such a conversation between - sett Gottlieb and Bissell from any source? [ae Lee Mr. Tweedy. I do not recall that Gottliab’and I evar ne | discussed highar authority and approval. 1 do not gay that it did not occur.
