SECRET

MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT Lavrenco J, LABORDE, 201-291688

On " May 1967 the headquarters office of the Domestic

Contacts Scrvice telephoned the C/CI/R&A and said that Subject lad

teleplaned the New Oricane office of the DCS that day. Subject said that

he was an cx-CLA employee, that he feared that D.A. Jim GARRiSON

would subpocna him, that he was willing to leave the U.S. to avoid a

subpocna, and that he wanted the office to tell him what to do.

2.

A review of Subject's file has led to the hypotlesis that this

visit may have been a provocation, probably engincered by GARRISON

In an attempt to trap CIA into advising Subject to leave Louisiana,

Had such advice been given, GARRISON would have been ablc to buttress

his charge that CIA is attempting to obstruct the course of justice in

Now Orlearis.

3.

The Miami Station requested a provisional covert security

approval for Subject on 14 March 1961. The request was granted on

24 March 1961. (A PCSA approves contact for spotting and assessing

Tonly.) However, a 31 March 1961 cable from Miami requested per-

mission to incrcasc Subject's salary to $700 a month and to pay him

bonuses.

4.

A Hcadquarters dispatch of 23 March 1962 warned Miami

that Subjcct was indiscret, drank too much, and had an unsavoury

reputation. On 20 April 1962 Miami cancelled the request for an

approval, on the grounds that Subject was a poor security risk.

Subject had no later relationship with the Agency. Subject was bitter

about his CIA contacts when terminated and made reckless threats.

5.

An FBI report of 23 May 1962 said Subject had contacted

representatives of the Cuban Revolutionary Council (CRC, Agency-created

and supported) in New Orleans, his home town; had offered his services;

and had said lie was running a boat out of kcy West, smuggling Cubans

and guns with the knowledge of CLA.

6.

A Miami report of June 1962 saig tras Subject was employed

1917-1939 In Alexico by the U.S. Deparunces of Agriculture but was

tired for excessive drinking, discharging a authorized fircarms, and

non-support of dependent children.

The New Orleans States-Item of 2S July 1962 named Subject

was the source of bitterly anti-CIA romarks ta a story which praises

LABORDE as a "good family man, completely reliable, and quotes a

Cuban refuge leader as saying that CIA and FBI agents termed Subject

a man of integrity. An anti-CLA article in the Denver Pöst of 3 June 1962

also appears to be basc on statements fror LABORDE.
