MEMORANDUM FOR


FROM

SUBJECT


     1.  DCD's only recorded contact with Joseph Raymond Merola
prior to August 1961 occurred on 6 February 1961.   It followed
a series of telephone calls over a period of several months
in which Merola had expressed interest in offering his assis-
tance in connection with Cuban matters.  The DCD officer had
declined contact until 6 February when Merola claimed  to have
information on a Brazilian senator who was a close  friend
and confidante of Che Guevera.  Because Guevera was  the
subject of requirements levied on DCD, our officer agreed  to
a meeting.  The substance of the 6 February 1961 meeting  is
described in report 00-A(S)-3179213, dated 8 February.   (This
report has been returned to the Agency Archives, but will be
retrieved and reviewed for classification.  Should  it carry a
Secret classification, it will be downgraded  to Confidential
and may be so considered for the purposes of this  inquiry.)
