        SUBJECT: CROZIER, Ross L.
                 #112 569



             1.  On 18 October 1967, Jerry Gabriel, DDS&T/OSP/SO, telephoned the writer
        to advise that a former employee, 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 Diveision, 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.

              4., Crozier was under cover ofl
              in  March 1958 when his knowledge of Guevera was obtained. The writer
          nfo   d the Subject that under nd circumstances should he write any article
          assormed th Sectwth     he Agency while under that cover. It was agreed
          taso a inwas plausible and accepted, and Crozier
          admit  eat   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 something of intelligence concern at this date so long
         as no connection of this Agency is to be mentioned.
