         MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD                      Do Not Reproduce

         SUBJECT:  CROZIER, Ross L.
                  #122  569



              1.  On 18 October 1967, Jerry Gabriel, DDS&T/OSP/SO, telephoned the writer
         to advise that a former emloyee,  the Subject, had been in touch with him con-
         cerning whether or not he could write an article on Che Guevera, the Cuban
         Insurgent.   Crozier apparently wanted to know if it were permissible for him
         to state that he was employed by the Agency at the time he was travelling with
         Guevera and had taken a number of pictures of the Cuban.  Gabriel stated that
         Crozier was still working for the Post Office Department as a Postal Inspector.

              2.  The file reflects that the Subject was a former contract employee of
         the WH Division, whose association was covert from beginning to end.

              3.  The writer telephoned Crozier (177-7556) and learned that the Subject
         wished to write an article for the Samuel French Inc., an article which would
         in all probability appear in numerous magazines in this country.  According to
         Crozier, James Reach, head of the Literary Department at Samuel French Inc.,
         is  aware of Croziers  association with the Agency and is of the opinion that
         for  the Subject to indicate in the article that he was with Guevera at the
         behest  of the Agency would make it very saleable.
            beeto   h    gec    ol -. Crozier was under cover of_

                 in March 1958 when his knowledge of Guevera was obtained. The writer
          ford the Subject that under nd circumstances should he write any article
          assocath ubelf wthe Agnc while under that cover. .It was agreed
          thati-him el                           as plausible and accepted, and Crozier

          adi   ed that a number of newspaper men and other persons with whom he came
          into contact in the 1958 period had accepted the cover.

               5.  Crozier stated he would not connect the Agency with his activities
          in the critical period in any article he might present.  He was not requested
          to submit the article to the Agency prior to publication as this is apparently
          a character sketch and recitation of the activities of Guevera during the
          March 1958 period, not  omething of intelligence concern at this date so long
          as no connection of this Agency is to be mentioned.
