When both were stationed in Montevideo; their wives were also social

contacts.

proposed part-time employment by the Spanish Embassy was denied by OS

as incompatible with Subject's Agency employment.

A memorandum for the

appeal this decision; however, Subject's file reflects no appeal to date.

would require further exploration. It 1s recommended, therefore, that

Subject be afforded a routine re-polygraph.
