                                                   13 August 1974


                MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, SSD

                SUBJECT             : Covert Sites - General
                                      #77 500


                       1.  Reference is made to yo r recent request for in-
                formation relative to individuals mentioned in In Cable 00349
                from  FR   IBasis for the cable was FBI information
                concerning allegations that a Washington. D.C. office located
                some  4 or 5 blocks from the White House and leased to the
                Drug  Enforcement Agency  'Was being used by CIA as an elec-
                tronic surveillance listening post. The Office, allegedly
                operated by a CIA officer, Lucien Conein, is purported to be
                subleased from Howard  Gibson, head of the Washington office
                of the Atlanta based firm, Central Investigative Agency. The
                owner  of the Central Investigative Agency was reputed to be
                Mitchell WERBELL, an Atlanta   resident, who allegedly is a
                gun runner and private investigator. The FBI agent advised
                FRI          at Gibson and Werbell are currently in litigation
                for some  reason and that Gibson is probably capable of spread-
                ing the story about a CIA listening post in an effort to embarrass
                Werbell.

                        2. Subsequently you advised that it had been determined
                 that the alleged site in question was Suite 1209 A, located at
                 1028 Conn. Ave. N. W. Washington , D.C. reportedly occupied
                 by a firm of Securi ty Consultants. You were advised at that time
                 that review of.Office of Security records reflected no connection
                 by CIA with the office in question nor any current interest in any
                 of the principals involved. 0 of S records reflect no existing in-
                 terest in any office space at 1028 Conn. Ave. N. W. although one
                 agency component has expressed a potential future interest in a
                 Suite on the 10th floor of that building, La Salle Building, at 1028
                 Conn. Ave. N. W.  To date it not only has not occupied that Suite
                 but has not determined whether they shall proceed towards future
                 utilization.
