The list ‘of questions was written in English in staadard U.8. Government format and, although sterile, appeared to be a4atelligeace requirements. Charles told the Embassy official that he had just finished a “big job“ fer the Pentages and tmplied that the list also cage from the Pentages. The Embassy official euspected that Charles bad pasged a copy of the list te the Natiemal Palace. 2. Ga 2 Desk contacted ‘Btaii of CS, and learned that the had briefed Mr. Lowis A.

Charlen enjoys no political folioving and even the *ploia” with wnich he is associated are viewed with considerable vegeree. For example, we have never been able te confirm that Charles was invelwed with the “#ilitary junta” formed ig Bay 1369, as he claimed. In Yebruary 1963, the U.8. @ebessy in Port au Prince commented that, with regard to the most recent plotting of Charles, “the poseibility eanact be excluced that Charles....could ke a prerscaticn te determine the real motives of the Usited States Governe i ment towards the Duvalier regime.” We concur im the — } Eabassy’s views. 4. During the past three yeers, the 4H Division has been kept advised of the contact between DCS smd Brun and i his relstianship with Charles. We are also avare from i DCS and cther sources of the efforts by Brun to obtain HI : support from the United States Governmeat for Charles. i Brun ig, of courege, a close collaborator of Cnarles end a business representative of his in New York City. Brun hes contacted officials of the Department of Defense, the Devartment of Stste, and even a person vith access to Sresicent Johnsen on Charles* behalf. The Chief of i Caribbean Affairs of the Department of State c2tegorically ; i ¢teld Bren in June 1967 that the United States Government 7a8 not isterested in supporting the slots of Charles or ‘@nuyone else egainst Duvalier, but this advice seems to heve fallen on deaf ears. fhe most recent example of Brun‘’s lebbying eae in May 1969 when Brum passed on te DCS a request from Charles for a secret meeting between a U.S. envoy and a representative of the "military junte.* Brun’s involvement with Charles requires that he be con= Sidered e binsed scurce of information. While some ef the information Brun hss obtained from Cherles hag beer of . dmterest, there is hardly anything that mas net available through ether channels and indeed, mich of it was slanted. S. As was set.forth in VH/7 meneranda to the Operational Support Staff, DCS, on 15 July 1968 and 23 May 1969, we inteorpose ao objection to DCS sainteining eentact with Brun for ite ewe purposes.

Since IDEN has been told that his contact is with LESHOE and since he has told 201-357029 that fact, and since 201-357029 has apparently, in his nind at least,converted that faet inte contact with RVROCK, and has probably spread both stories with his associates and thereby throughout the /ocal milieu, we have, in effect, a dangerous security situation. Hnen we13s7029" that the LNPURE recetves all tne information that 201-3 gives IDIN anyway most ot the time receives . the fnfornation directly from rin PELTIPC then we have an operation that is ditricult to justify. 3. In the case of the requirements forwarded with Reference B, we have a situation in which WODISH levied. requirements on 2U1-357029, through IDEN. 201-357029 then turned those requirements over to LNFURE which returned ‘thee via 201-357029 and IDEN to WCDISH. Why not cut out che giddleman and the security complications, and save the headaches? &. The Station teels that the WODISH handling of 201-3570Z9 - yesults in a case that has the potential ot causing severe oblens for AKULE, and that it could well be that AKULE will gade to bear the blame since elements within RVROCK might feel tnet the ultimate responsibility tor supervision of the ease lies with AKULE.  ..
