STATUS:

Subject, a Contract Type "A" employee, has been nominated by

He was approved by the Clandestine Services Agent Panel for con-

version to Career Agent status on 6 January 1965 without benefit

of Security Approval. Subject's conversion; however, will not be

certified to the field until Office of Security approval is granted.

Cuba in 1928, entered the United States in 1942, and is married

to a native-born U.S. citizen.

Subject's mother is deceased and

his father, born in 1891 at Havana, Cuba, is currently residing

in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is not believed that Subject's

father has been naturalized. Subject's brother, Arnesto, is a

U. So citizen, last reported as residing in Metaire, Louisiana.

1960, at which time he was issued an Operational Approval for
