Mr.
Joseph R. MEROLA
HH 25826, 8 January 1974


          1.  On 10 January 1974 the WH/2/GS desk recetved the
     referenced memorandum from the Domestic Collection Division
     indicating the Miami field office had been in contact with one
     Joseph R. MEROLA.  MEROLA had just returned from a business
     trip to El Salvador- and he reported.that a friend of his had
     identified a Mr. )in the Political Section of the
     American Embassy In San Salvador as a suspect CIA representative.
     Headquarters traces on Joseph R. MEROLA indicated that on several
     occasions. in7the past.MEROLA had claimed that he was a CIA
     agent.  Thei                  the Mr.            referred to
     above, was recently questioned regarding any  mbassy coptact
     with MEROLA while the latter was in San Salvador.  The
     stated that both within the Embassy community and at social
     functions MEROLA had frequently referred to his contact with
     the CIA, past and Present   He also volunteered this infor-
     mation to a .former        contact.
          2.  In light of the above, it would appear that MEROLA
     had taken advantage of his agency contacts in.an inappropriiate.
     manner to the potential embarrassment of the

     due consideration in your assessment of the advantage of your
