PJC:pd

Mr. ABADIE stated that in the case of PECORA, even

though he built a much larger and more modern building than

was destroyed in Hurricane Betsy, it would be very difficult

to show an intent to misuse the proceeds of his loan,

particularly in view of the fact that he is promptly repaying

his loan and that he has 100 percent occupancy on the building

he built with Government funds.

MISCELLANEOUS

Mrs. VERDE CRENSHAW, Passport Office, Department

of State, advised

SA KENNETH J. HASER On January 16,

1968,

that a search had been made of the files of that office but

no record of a passport application by subject could be

located.
