personnel will be required. Of this number, some 600 are military personnel and the military services will be handling the back- - ground investigations in regard to these. . The remaining 1,100 will require background investiga- tions by the FBI. It is estimated that about 825 will fall in the full-field category. It is estimated that the remaining 275; or about 25%, will have had a full-field investigation within. the recent past from the Civil Service Commission or the FBI and will require an investigation covering a shorter period of time. Our _ supplemental fund and personnel needs to handle this added work are based on these premises. In addition to the 1,100 investigations to be received immediately, there will be a monthly flow of about 30 investiga- - tions beginning with December to take care of turnover. Since these will be new employees in most instances, all will require a full-field investigation. | Accordingly, our estimated additional needs in the fis- ae cal year 1965 are based on the handling of the following work loads: | 825 full-fields of present staff | 275 supplemental investigations of present staff 210 full-~fields for turnover (30 a month for. | period December, 1964 through June , 1965) To handle this work in the fiscal year 1965, we will» require an additional 102 full-year employees (62 agents and 40 clerks). Of these, 82 (52 agents and 30 clerks) will be for assign- ment in the Field Service. These additional 102 full-year employees and their support will require supplemental funds totaling $887,000 in the fiseal year 1965. Oo | | T-13¢ Doclda: 322706450 Page 32
HW 49061 Prt nee DTK: UGS bf/\r , SG SLE SECRET _ “MEMORANDUM FOR THE ACTING SScRETARY o Subject: Cuban Sugar From; L~ Mr, . Ohayes ’ A night's reflection on the problem of the Cuban sugar cargo now at San Juan has intensified my concern, rather than abated it, I think the following points should be brought to the attention of the President: il. The potential gain from the operation is neglie gible. Even if it results, as Mr. Johnson suggested, in spoilage of $500,000 of sugar, this 1s peri feral in terns of the bloc economic capacity. 2. The fact that the sugar has been treated will ale ‘most certainly be discovered, at the time of ultimate cone sumption, if not before. At that time, chemical analysis will be employed, and will, in all likelihood Ldentify the method that was used. Even if the matter cannot be tied to any particular cargo, I think the U3SR could and would acouse the U.S. and with considerable plausibility in world forums. After all, the technology involved is. quite complicated and is not likely to. be available to stevedores, crewmen and the like, unless meade available to them from outside. The only alternative we could suggest as the gouree of the action is the Cuban resistance move~ ment, Even if we were able to make this suggestion stick, the only result would be to discredit further the responsi-«- bility and bona fides of that movement. 3. I have no confidence in the scientific judgment that the substance is harmless. We know from recent exe perience that drugs which have been extensively tested for human consumption turn out to have side effeots when widely administered. =I cannot believe that this substance has had such extensive testing. ‘The deseribed effects are such as to suggest that the impact would not be uniform accross a wide sample of the population. A good wey to put this issue in perspective is to ask how you would feel about the same thing happening to yourself or your family, 1f the sction had been taken by the other. side. '. & It is wrong to contaminate food - supplies. I would very much like to be present when this matter is dis~ cussed with the President, unless you feel it would detract from the presentation, DeclId: 322052767 Page 2?

Regular use should be made of analyses, book reviews, documentaries, and dramatizations which give an understanding of communist ideology and practice as a means of providing the Cuban people with a perspective on the experience they are enduring and bolstering their will to resist. The liberal use of quotations from U.S. and Latin American leaders and writers which contrast the philosophies of Democracy and Communism is recommended as useful in setting the inspirational tone suitable for Latin American audiences. /NOTE: SECTION TWO FOLLOWS DoclId: 322705474 Page 6

III. - FIELD INVESTIGATIONS Work Load Volumes The growing demands upon our field staff, are reflected in the high number of pending investigative matters which totaled 124,930 on September 1, 1964. Six per cent were in a delinquent status. The heavy backlog of work is also reflected in the ‘growing number of assignments being carried by our investigative staff on an individual basis. On September 1, 1964, there was an average assignment of 23 matters. In contrast, on July 1, 1960, the average assignment was 18 and on July 1, 1957, it was but 15. This growing trend in the average volume of work assigned is not only an indication of increased productivity; it also mirrors the growing work and responsibilities we have been called upon to assume over the years. a . | During the fiscal year 1964, there were 666,982 investigative matters received in the criminal, civil and security classifications. This is a jump of 30,611 matters, or 5%, over the high volume of work experienced during the prior year. The volume of our investigative work will continue to mount, it being estimated that 690,000 matters will be received for handling during the fiscal year 1966. These figures are exclusive of reimbursable applicant-type investigations to be referred from various Federal agencies and departments. 7-41 DoctId: 322706450 Page 76
" qeng™ pow a ee Ls 2; UNITED STATES covenudths i ae pare Memorandum TO : IOS - Mr. Emond paTE: March 13, 1964 FROM :IOS/I-M, S. MileskiWWA SUBJECT: JACOBS, John Kedzie IOS - 5076 On Wednesday, March ll, 1964, Special Agent Charles Taylor of the U. S. Secret Service called at my office for the purpose of enlisting the assistance of IOS in an investigation being conducted by the Secret Service on behalf of the Warren Committee concerning the assassination of former President Kennedy. As. you know, Mrs. Marina Oswald was under the protective custody of the Secret Service until she completed her testimony before the Warren Committee. S/A Taylor advised that after the assassination, a Mrs. Katia Jacobs (later identified as the wife of John Kedzie Jacobs) sent a letter, written in Russian, to Marina Oswald expressing sympathy for her and extending an invitation for Mrs. Oswald to live with the Jacobs’. Mrs. Oswald subsequently met with Mrs. Jacobs and according to Mrs. Oswald, Mrs. Jacobs speaks fluent Russian. It was her impression that Mrs. Jacobs was not a native-born American. S/A Taylor said every conceivable facet is being explored in the investigation for the Warren Committee, and in this connection, the Secret Service has enlisted the assistance of the Fairfax County Police to conduct a discreet inquiry relative to Mrs. Jacobs in an effort to ascertain something of her background. S/A Taylor empha- sized the importance of the Secret Service not being identified with the investigation. The purpose of his visit to IOS was to review the Security File on Jacobs for background and identifying data on Mrs. Jacobs. In calling S/A Taylor's request to your attention, you recalled having spoken with Mr. Jacobs who had previously visited your office with reference to his wife's contact with Mrs. Oswald. The subject of your conversation with Mr. Jacobs is a matter of record under separate memorandum. Docld: 322705611 Page 2?
