We have been informed by the Clandestine Service

Agent panol that they pose no objection to the conversion

of Mrº3 Boberts) fron Staff Agent status to Stall Employee

status which will enble him to nork regularly in the

Headquarters building.

They do, however, feel that prior

to his conversion a suitable cover, consistent with his

legal background, must be arranged.

2.

In infornal discussions with your office, a

possibility of arranging non-offielal cover with a local

law fire was discussed.

This law firn would ostensibly

have contracts with various goverment agencies.

Mr? Roborts will bo hired by the law tItIl to serve ao i

legal advisor to the goverment agencies thus enabling

him to be gone fron the olfice a great part of the time.

In vlew of his many contacts in goverment and private

circles, this typo of cover rould hold up since sone of

his fxiends may try to physically reach his at the

office.
