P, Weicker! s inve stigation. of CIA's involvement with othe r government at gencies surfaced thy contact of Lucien Conein-of DEA, a former employee, with an electronic manu- facturer named Michael Morrisey. The same reports have also tied . Morrisey with a Mr. Mitchell L. WerBell, IU, who, according ‘to our. files, has claimed United States Government and CiA connections in the past. According to DEA, WerBell recently ais nvoked the Fifth Amend: *: ment when apsearing before Senator Jackson's Subcommittee investigating DEA on whether or not he supplied arms to Robert Vesco. “Also, while not mentioned in the press, at least one retired CLA staffer and possibly . two others may have been involved with Conein and Morrisey. The ex- staffer is John P. Muldoon, a friend of Conein's, who. currently is a private security specialist who has dealt with Morrisey in the purchase of audio Sweeping devices for his business Muldoon was retained by WerBell curing first half of 1974, The other two, Walter J, Mackem,, were in contact. with WerBell for possible employment in a scheme to -pramote.the-secession of the Bahamian Island of Abaco, an enter: prise ‘publicized in February 1975 issue of Esquire by Andrew St. George. - 2. We have no information in our files on the B. R. Fex Company or:the Fox Company principals mentioned in the press accounts. We were, however, told by DEA that Mr. Sandy Smith, Time magazine repo was working ona story to the effect that the late Bernard Sying “owner of the Fox Company, was previously involved in “wire tappin g far the Teamsters Union and providing explosive devices for orpanized crime." . : « e Although Mr. Smith did not allege that cither CIA or DEA were assGciated with the Fox Company or Svindel, our DEA source said that Mr, Smith had no intention of dropping the story and we can expect further press coverage. 3. In conclusion, there has been no CLA involveme mnt with the B. R. Fox Company or with Michael Morrisey. ‘Morcover, Mir. WerBell's clairns of CIA affiliation or support over the years are simply not true. ; As Amare ys,
14-00000 . oy i “at eg 25 J sary L975 SUBJECT: Mitchell Livingston WerBell UI (201-259910) , . 1. Mitchell Livingston WerBell, who appeared in recent press reports has for over a period of ten years been claiming to bea | répreseritative of the United States Government and of CLA, _ The. facts do not ‘Support this” contention. - CIA first learned of WerBell in July of 1959 when he contacted General Cabel indicating ‘knoWledge. of Cuban and ‘Dorninican affairs. Mer. Thomas J.. Flores of LA Division was putin contact with WerBell Stand: considered using him as.an Fl asset. A POA was granted on “7. July 1959 for-this purpose. By October. 1959 it was apparent that he did not have the access ‘to information as hoped and he apparently looked upon his association with CLA as a means of furthering his various - business schemes. All contact was then severed. 3. From that time until the present Mr. WerBell has cropped up in a number of nefarious activities whereby he inferred he had CIA connections or support, He was reported to have been involved in arms sales to Nicaragua and Guatemala, in efforts to gain recognition, by certain South American countries of the Cuban Government in Exile, andinan abortive scheme to invade the Republic of Haiti in 1966. He also turned up in Thailand where he contacted the COS purporting fo Bea Counter- | insurgency expert. In 1971 the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense queried the Agency re Mr. Werbell, asking if WerBell hac a contractual agteement or association with the Agency, as Werbell was awaiting a hearing before a Department of Defense Examiner related to his participation in’ the aboritve Haiti invasion. . The Office of the General Counsel placed the matter in perspective. Subsequently, he contacted the Agency to request intercession on his behalf to have his security clearance reinstated which GoD revoked because of his Haitian caper, He was told this could not be; done. In-1971 he again appeared in Thailand attempting to seil arms. dn 1973 he was under investigation by U.S. Treasury Bureau of Alconol, Tobacco and Firearms and by the United States Customs Service for activities relating to possible mercenary activities in Abaco Island, Bahamas. In | this connection WerBell contacted three ex-CIA employees, John P.M ulgoun, Walter J. Mackern and Theodore Roussos in a scheme to invelve therm j aa the activities of an orpanization called the Friends of Abaco (FE OA) which: as ; advocating the : secession of the island from the Commonwealth of Bahamas.’
14-00000 All three inviduals reported their involvement with the WerBell group — and had sought guidance from the Agency. In May and June they were advised to break all ties with WerBell. Gn 27.June 1974 the FBI was formally apprised of ‘WerBell's overtures for their collaboration in the effort'to bring: Abaco's secession. In September 1974 WerBell reportedly went to\Greece to sell arms to the Greek Government, ". Most recently WerBell reportedly appeared before Senator Jackson‘ s _Stib- Committee investigating DEA and-had taken the Fifth Amendment: | ‘on the question of whether or not he had supplied arms to Robert Vesco.

But Conein denies he ever even. considered buying any of the equipment. . Weicker released a cata- logue of the devices which included such things as ex- Ploding cigarette. packages and. electronic booby traps for telephone receivers. The equipment was manufac. tured by the B. R.oFox Laboratories, which'Weick. er said went out-of business. three weeka ayo.

He also quéstioned ‘a atatement by Conein that the DEA planned to pur- chase only electronic eaves. dropping devices from Fax. “I told the senator that,"’. Conein said. “Yeah, L.saw this (assassination) stuff. So what? I've-seen a lot of that kind of thing in my day." _ Conein was a long-time CIA operative before mov- ing to the DEA with the assistance of Egil Kragh, former head of the White House plumbers for whom ‘Hunt worked: : In July 1971, Conein had a three-way telephone .con- versation with Hunt and Charles W. Colson, former .

The conversation center- ed.on-activities ia Saigon prior to the coup that ousted former South Viemamese : President Ngo Dinh Diem. Conein was a high-ranking CIA operative in Saigon at the time of the 1963 coup. HUNT LATER used some of the information ‘obtained from Conein as background for fabricating ‘State De- partment cables that impli- cated the late President John F. Kerinedy in Diem’s assassination, Hunt was working for the Nixon White House at-the time. The catalogue released by Weicker included a memorandum to Mitchel Widentifie by Welcker as a Georgla arms manufacturer and apparent soldier of fortune. The memo was written by MI chael Morrissey, co-owner of the Fox Laboratorles, ac- cording to Weickér, ia the memo, Morrissey - states thatithe catalogue “was put together only after we started workiig to- gether with Lou Conein.”* He later states that “some of this equipment wags demonstrated to Lou ia this (Alexaniria). office about three, weeks ago.’* The memo was dated June 10, 1974, ‘ The memo,said the cata- logue contained a “listing of equipment that is available and planned for Lou up here (Washington). f : - WEICKER. SAID the memorandum itself raised doubts aboutConein’s stute- ment that he had not consid- ered purchasing any of the assassination devices. And he said it stirred questions about whether Coneir: still was working, with the CIA despite his retirement from that agency in 1971, The catalogue Nets its “astro” equipment this way: “The devices have been designed and manufactured for sale to authorized egen- - ed cies of the United States government, specifically in- tended for application out- side of this country. “The items offered are eij- ther concealed into everyday-type objects or Packaged simply as ‘black box’ pieces of equipment with no labels or identifica. tion on the outside other than the necessary actuator switches and sensors.

Roussos had generally explained this call to me_on the telephone on 29 August. My reaction on the telephone was negative to Roussos’ participation in such a deal, and he had conveyed this negative reply to Werbell by telephone _ before: Roussos and [ met personally on 31 August. 2. Ouring our ‘personal meeting, Roussos explained that Werbell intended to pursue arms gales legally and via the required U.S. Government channels. He said that Werbel] does have the capabilities to design and produce weapons because of his access to arms factories. I told Roussos that Werbell's businesssactivities were his own concern, i strongly advised against his getting involved in thig deal. I explained to him the problems which the U.S. Government was having in Greece and the current wave . of anti-Americanism and press attacks against the CIA. If Roussos.as a former CLA officer well known in Greece became involved in sucn a venture, a flap of substantial proportions was likely complete with widespread press play.

In discussions with ticaraguan Government representatives, WER BELL claimed the he support of 90 separate Cuban exile organizations. and 186,000 Cuban exiles... WER BELL offered a representative of the Nicaraguan Government $100,000 to obtain that governnent"'s recognition of the Cuban Government in exile. The croup claimed to have its headquarters at 1025 Connecticut: Avenuc, NW, in washington, D.C.

Werbell hopes to establish gaming casinos, hotels and other tourist facilities in Abaco catering to the U.S. tourist crowd available for easy ferrying from nearby Miami. AS 2 consequence of some run-in with Prime. Minister Michael Pindling, however, Werbell is apparently permanently | ersona non-yrata in the Bahamas; hence his ambitions appear to be contingent on Abacan independence. ° c. Mike OLIVER - The financial angel of the “Eriends of Abaco," Oliver's origins and auspices are somewhat obscure to Muldoon. OLIVER clains to have spent
time in a Nazi concentration camp during World War IT; she speaks excellent French; he has a pet political ‘theery which he has published. He is seeking some . political entity where he can put his theory into mo Practice to illustrate: to the U.S. government that it ; is Worth practicing’ in’ this country. In contrast to o -fhis colleague Mitch Three Werbell, however, he seems . ; , adamantly opposed to establishing a gambling empire. aan ne. P Lord and ‘Lady BELLHAVEN - A member of , a the British House of Lords, .RELLNAVEN: plans to make a’speech there, following his return. to London.-on: roe May 1974;-castigating the British government for allowing Abaco to, be abused by: Nassau. ‘BELLHAVEN ” appears to.be- identical with ‘Robert Anthony Carmichael. * HAMELTON, bora 27-Feb 27,°the 13th Lord of BELHAVEN and STENTON. - His wife is. the. former.

This information. comes from several tomes on the: re . English. peerage ‘which were researched - ‘for me by ‘Sally ce - .Ann Brown of. “E/BC. . e. Howard HANDELMAN - The U. S. News and World Report correspondent also has contacts with the Agency, a fact which concerns Muldoon. f. Central Investigation Agency - An Atlanta. . . detective Agency established a few vears azo by Howard COSGROVE, a former Georgia police officer specialized 4 in narcotics operations who was apparently fired from ‘the force for reasons unknown to Muldoon. COSGROVE retains a 26% interest in the CIA (sic}; Mitchell 4 ‘WERRELL TY (‘Mitch Four) holds another. 263 and a re-- maining 6% interest is held by the nominal president of "CIA," a retired Army colonel named Byer or Briar. The “CIA has in turn establisned Security Consultants Inter- national, as a-Washington-hased wholly owned subsidiary. oO ; “SCE's specialities are anti-audio sweeps and electronic : surveillance using devices developed by one David MURISSEY, - ‘an electronics engineer who collaborates with MULDOON & a “CIA, F . 4. The incident which alarmed Muldoon occurred during the Friday eutherine of the individuals mentioned in paragraph two. Muldoon was palmed-off by Werbell at . t this gathering as an "otticial of the CIA (Central, ,
$'-00000 .,- her brother. - the German School in Shanghai. -had been expelled from the German school in the late 1930s Intelligence Agency, in this instance)" who was there to attest to the fact that neither the CIA nor the U.S, Government is. oppesed to Abacan independence. Hiss 0 interlocutors, despite Muldoon's protests that he was retired from.CIA and in no way represented U.S. government interests respecting Abaco, seemed anxious - he felt - . to accept his: presence there’ as evidence of U.S. og. -, Sovernment éndorgsement of the Abacan independence .movement. Ss ..Muldoon took sone pains to gain reassurance that he woutd ‘not be pinpointed by Werbell as the source of ‘this information if any action’ were taken on it. T 0 + assured. him that, apart’ from the particular incident on ~ 17 May 1974, the general outlines of WERBELL and his -activities. and aspirations for Abaco ‘have already been reportéd. by two ‘or three other sources... Since there is “nothing the Agency can plausibly do’ at this juncture... ., about WERBELL'S. apparent ¢ffort: to con his supporters | . into thinking that the CIA was. backing the Abaco. : -..andependence. venture, I told Muldoon. I Planned merely — -) “to*nakeHis “side -of ‘this story. a matter of record and° | “let it goat that. (5 . 6. To -cap. off the story, Red Stent invited us to: lunch at. the Class Reunion on Eye Street and 18th. When Muldoon and -I arrived to meet Stent’ we found him ensconced at a-corner table with three other people. Red rushed - over to. inform us that he would be introducing me as a colleague of his from AEROJET. He then presented me to WERBELE, Werbell's date.Patricia BOTOND and Cecil. BROWNLOW “of “Aviation Weekly." WERBELL, looking for all the world like Jerry Colonna, was intent on the task of seducing Miss BOTOND, who happened to be promoting a convention forthe Atlantic Union organization, a political enterprise which is an offshoot of the World Federalists Movement. Miss BOTOND, as it turned out was reared in Shanvhai, China, at thé same time as Stent. ‘Red had attended school with Miss BOTOND for having had anti-Nazi doodles in her copybook. Brownlow had helped Red obtain. aerial photos of the. ChiCom consulate compound in Geneva inthe early 1960s when Red was stationed in Paris. When Werbell had wearied of the reminisences of Stent and Botond and had managed to hustle his prey off to a private table, Stent © revealed to BROWNLOW that I was not AERQJET but CIA. Fortunately my name was mumbled at the introduction so-that- no one could have repeated it. No one in fact seemed -interested.

Following Lunch Mukdoon left witn a culleague for a meeting at the Justice Department © to. determine . whether in sweeping Embassy buildings in Washington he must register. as en agent of a foreign government (whichever it might be). Brownlow went about his business. Stent paid for the lunch. IT returned to what Stent whimsically refers to as the “Funny Farm.” My only regret is that George Orwell could not have joined | us. for that lunch.
