Mr. Munro said that the Mexican counter-intelligence service,

with whom he worked, were excellent.

He said that he ran the LITEMPO

project and that Phillip Agee's presentation of this project is

accurate. This was the only project that he worked on during his

whole tenure with the CIA in Mexico. The only people who knew of

his role in Station operations was Win Scott and Ann Goodpasture.

Other people may have known that he was working with the station but

Mr. Munro did not believe that they would have known what he was doing.

Mr. Munro added that David Phillips was a very close friend and would

have also known what he was doing.

Mr. Munro stated that it was his personal belief. that Oswald

was a Cuban agent and that his trip to Mexico had been an attempt to

lay an escape route. He stated that this belief was based only on

logic and inferences from his discussions with Rolf Larson and that

he had no knowledge about the trip or Oswald that was not in the

public domain.

Mr. Munro denied having anything to do with the arrest of

Silvia Duran and claimed that he had no knowledge whatsoever about

the arrest. He stated that on important matters Win Scott usually

dealt directly with the Mexican Security Service and it would not

be unususal that he had not informed him (Munro) even though he (Munro)

was responsible for the day. to day liaison with the Security Service.

Mr. Munro said that Win Scott was a master intelligence

operator. He said that Ann Goodpasture was one of the best case officers

he has ever encountered and that she was very, very professional.
